Wait a sec. I thought Winnie was Canadian?

You could only kick butt if you had a lot of guys around you with guns actually making a difference. You might kill a couple with a bow and arrow but you are not going to be nearly as effective. The polish thought it was a great idea to charge panzer tanks on horse back with swords and rifles. Look where that got them.
I dunno. If the guy was alive today, he'd probobly say something like this:
Happy Slamjet?

Point of case (I withheld the link because it contains vulgar language):
Now here is a man everyone should know about – he truly typifies awesomeness and bravery. Nicknamed “Fighting Jack Churchill” and “Mad Jack”, he was an English soldier who fought throughout World War II armed with just a longbow, arrows and a claymore (sword). He once said “any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.” Remember that during this war he was basically using a sword and a bow and arrow against men with tanks and machine guns. He is the only soldier to have killed an enemy with an arrow in the war. And in true quirky British style, not only did he fight the good fight – he would rouse the troops with a merry tune on his bagpipes, as he was an expert piper and always took them with him to battle. In his most awesome moment, Churchill led a team of commandos into enemy lines playing “Will Ye No Come Back Again?” on his bagpipes. He was the only member of the group that made it to the objective alive – everyone else was killed around him. Perhaps the Germans liked his playing too much to kill him. When the war ended and the world celebrated, Churchill was not happy. He is recorded as saying: “If it wasn’t for those Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years!” In retirement he took up surfing in Australia before returning to England to live. In the photograph above you can see Churchill on the right with sword in hand.

Didn't think so.

I could go on forever and explain what you need to do to survive High School, but these five words would be the best way how I survive High School.
Honestly, there's no other way to describe it. Just relax, and maintain your spirituality in your own way as you did before. You only make the situation worse by blowing it out of proportion and making it look like some large monster you can't beat.

I was thinking about this the other day too. One of the thoughts is that when Jesus comes again we have to already be prepared to establish His rule. This is why when you read about some of the prophesies about the latter days such as those in Isaiah or Revelations there is a lot about rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem and strengthening the stakes of Zion, spreading the coverage of the "tent" so to speak, enough to have enough authority to claim rule over every nation kindred and tongue. That is not to say that we establish authority over every nation, kindred etc before He comes but that there is enough 'infrastructure' established prior to His coming to make His claim. We are almost there, there are a few places in the world though that do not have access to the stakes of Zion or the temples, I believe. ... just a thought.
Also, things are gonna be a heck of a lot worse in the future. Wars, famines, etc. My seminary teacher last year did a pretty frightening simulation of what the aftermath of Christ's crucifixion was like in North America to the Nephites (basically darkness, and all that), and it scared the heck out of me, and explained that in the last days, our world would be worse than that.
Like I said, we're actually nowhere near the worst that the world can get.

Speaking of bad movies...
I would choose your next words wisely, considering the presence of certain Canadians, hosehead.

Is that the same as "blame Canada?"

Which reminds me of another horrible one. Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Terrible, terrible movie adaption.
The title alone sounds ridiculous and based on that, I doubt I'd watch it.
I think the rule of thumb is that any movie involving vampires, usually is a horrible movie.
'nuff said.
(inb4: don't forget werewolves too)

It's not very affective.

It may not be a movie adaptation, but this is the worse movie ever made, ever, I mean, they'll be talking about this in the eternities about how bad this is:
Imma let you finish slamjet, but this movie is the worst worst movie made of all time:

Welcome Lonewolf.
Yes, my avatar has bacon on it.
No, you can`t have any.

I think the movie studios never intended to make any followups to The Lightning Thief. That's why they changed the movie so much. How can they possibly make a followup when Kronos is not even mentioned in The Lightning Thief?
Actually, they are:
(From Wikipedia)
"Columbus has stated that the cast were chosen specifically with sequels in mind. "I think with Percy Jackson it was a matter of finding the right cast to fit into these roles, sort of the perfect cast for these roles, because hopefully, God willing, we will go on to do other Percy Jackson films and you want the cast to grow with their characters."

I admit, I didn't like the new Dumbledore at all. However, even if Richard Harris was still alive, I could never envision him in that battle against Voldemort in Order of the Pheonix. However, I think Richard Harris would've been great in that Horcrux cave scene in Half-Blood Prince.
Another thing I didn't like was that they didn't have John Williams score the music for the film series after Prisoner of Azkaban. His music literally brought the magic to life in the movies. After he left, the music just seemed... dead. It didn't make the movies feel magical at all. Also related, I didn't like how they did the sound effects starting with Prisoner of Azkaban.
WARNING SPOILERS BELOW:
Lastly, and most notably of all, I don't like how they've strayed away from the book most of times, for example in Half Blood Prince, they didn't show all those (related) memories of Tom Riddle/Voldemort. I thought it would've been great if we could've seen that. Worse, I heard that for part two of Deathly Hallows, they've moved Snape's death scene from The Shrieking Shack to some glass building to make it 'romantic'. I understand that Snape had feelings towards Harry's mom, but I don't see how changing the location of his death makes the movie better. I think the death scene for Snape in the book was just fine as it is.
Oh well, that's Hollywood for ya.

I wouldn't say that. It followed pretty much the same formula as Harry Potter:
Everyday normal kid finds out he's special.
He's 11/12 years old at the time.
Knows nothing about his roots.
Goes to a special school, where he can be protected.
Everyone knows him.
He has two sidekicks: a smart girl, and an oft-bumbling guy.
Has an annoying rival at school.
Disobeys school rules.
Is the headmaster's favorite.
Saves the world from disaster.
How is that "completely original?"
About the only difference in formula was that Harry Potter has to work to become a great and powerful wizard, and he has a lot of self-discovery along the way. He's not instantly there. Percy Jackson, as soon as he accepted that Poseidon was his father, was suddenly Superman, with a perfect knowledge of how to use his powers.
All that said, I am actually interested in reading the Lightning Thief series. I've always enjoyed Greek mythology, and, knowing that it's a blatant attempt to be the next Harry Potter makes it easy to set that aside a little. The movie, though, was just bad all over.
Oh, and a PG rating with teenage drug use? Where was the MPAA on that?
P.S. It's "thief," not "theif."
-
I dunno about that. It was still a pretty blatant (and poor) attempt at a Harry Potter ripoff.
Well, the first book (The Lightning Theif) was probobly the equvilant of The Philosipher's Stone, in a way that it was light hearted, yet had a dark side to it as well, just like TPS. At the same time though, it (The Lightning Theif) was completely an original story.
The movie however, was worse than road kill.

I just watched The Lightning Thief at Christmas. I've never read the books, but I cringed at how horrible an adaptation it was. It was truly painful. That and Eragon (also haven't read the books) just seemed all over the place, with too many holes, and like they were trying too hard for the movie.
Angels & Demons was a bad adaptation. I went with my best friend to see it in the $1 theater, and there weren't many other people there that night, which was good, because we yelled at the screen a lot.
Agreed, I for one thought that Ron Howard went to far away from the book. The book was definitly far better in that it was darker, had more twists, etc, etc.
What I hated about lightning theif the most was that it sucked out that Harry Potterish ring it had to it. The movie just went on it's own direction. If they had stuck to the original novel, I'd think both Angels and Demons, and The Lighting Theif would A) Gain much more profit from the movie B) Get way better reviews and more people interested in the movie.

So do you think he's really a betrayer, then? Could he get that title?
If he did what really had to he done and it was already approved, so to speak?
Well, depends on your perception. The apostles never knew that Judas was going to betray Jesus, so from their standpoint, Judas was a traitor whereas Jesus knew entirely what was going on, so he probobly didn't precive Judas as a betrayer.
I strongly suggest that you ask yourself that if Judas was a traitor or not. Only you can decide for yourself. As for me, I don't think Judas was a traitor.

Often prosecutors have to choose the charges most likely to gain a conviction. They have a passion to see that justice is done, and ruthless criminals are in prison where they belong. Unfortunately, because of the mountains of legal protection for abortion, these providers are shielded from accountability and their crimes go on for years before anything can be done about it. It's oddly curious that those who sell guns for a living are heavily scrutinized and subject to multiple regulations. These guns sold will likely never kill another human being. Yet those who do kill human beings for a living are disproportionately protected from transparency and regulation.
No no no. I understand the fact that there's huge grey areas and such around abortions, but given the fact that people knew there was something seriously wrong going on the clinic, yet there was no action taken, let alone executing a search warrent on it disturbs me.

What do you think of the theory that Jesus forsaw Judas betraying him? That he knew it was going to happen but went along with it?
Oh, he knew. He knew all along. Besides Jesus knew that he had to die for everybody's sins, so that we may live again, he wasn't really going to bother preventing it by calling out on Judas.
Do they really go to heaven?
