Closed to all Snufferites and Dehlinites....? Hmmm...

Ómakiya-ye. Help! Years ago I saw a film on tv. It was an American picture from the late 80s or beginning 90s. It was about a man who went into trouble with an indian tribe because he once had taken vengeance against one member of that tribe. I don't remember exactly what the reason was. From that moment in any situation unexpectedly one of the members of that indian tribe tried to attack and to kill him. On and on. Man against man. He was always winning the fights (i.e. one of the indians came suddenly out of the snow when he was there in the wilderness, or one attacked him suddenly out of the bushes when he was sitting at a campfire and so on). But it was always a fight one of the indians against him. Then he met an old scout and friend of him there in the wilderness, who told him that he should be glad they were no Apaches, because they would never come alone but by many. I don't know if they were Crows (because it might have been Montana with all the snow and the wilderness where it all happened, and that was the land of the Crows) who were his declared enimies. I remember the last scene, after he had won the last fight and killed about ten or fifteen of his attackers, that one of the Indians greeted him from a mountain, to say they will not fight him any longer, and he greeted back. He went his way and the film was over. What was the name of the movie? I've been searching on You Tube and so on, but I have no idea where I can search any more. I'd like to see that movie again. It doesn't get out of my mind. Thanks in advance. Philámaya-ye!

Lila tanyan wacin yanke. Why does your chief have no squaw? Medicine man Blue Feather says your chief lives in a big tipi where white smoke comes out, where they come in multitudes to adhore him. Big tipi, big chief, many horse, but no squaw. Who makes cooking and moccasin? No good. Yelo.

Okay. Really anything...?

Cockpit.

But if you delete the text and you replace it by a funny smiley, I think it will do it. A smiley could mean everything, and it sometimes says more than words. Maybe better than an abbreviation like the one you suggested.

Spirit of the Law, of course. What needs the letter if you don't have the Spirit? Sanita wooden clogs (the company is in California, btw.) or cowboy boots...?

Male can: "This must be a figment."

The spectrum of light we can see is quite small in comparison to the full spectrum of light. I.e. the predator in the movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger could see infrared. And what about x-ray? Or if we could see electromagnetig waves - what kind of a world would we see? A world surrounding us full of colours, phenomenally changing colours, and our brain would have to grow up to the size of a basketball just to interprete all these impressions. Not much place for thinking. That's why we only can see a small spectrum of the light and its colours. I've heard that cats can only see black and white. But see how happy they are when they have enough food and they can lay on your chair. This proofs that happyness doesnt't depend on the quantity of colours you see. It's only important, as given by the example of a cat, that a well tasting fish can be distinguished from a clothes peg. Cats don't have fine noses, dogs have, so cats have to explore and to see the world with their eyes. But black and white seeing as a visual ability seems to be enough. Do we really need colour TVs? I would say no. Not for the reason to be happy.

But thanks to God we only have one brain.

Oh Claire... the answer is quite simple: he'd be a lower god than God the Allmighty. That's the most fundamental difference. Have you ever thought about the endless Universe and its uncountable galaxies? Have you even an idea of how grand is what HE has created? Mormonism is the Christian doctrine of the eternal evolution of the human spirit, and, as we sprang from God Allmighty's spiritual creation, and we were his spiritual children, and we were sent from the status of pre-existence here to Earth, to be free to make our decisions, to return, to find out what's right or wrong freely, to develop and improve ourselves in the sense of the everlasting truth, the Gospel, the laws God Allmighty has given to us in form of direct or indirect revelations by the prophets or inspirations, we are one day more than we are now, because this is HIS great plan for us. See the stars. See the endless universe. And see HIS endless mighty power. HE is GOD. And HE can rise HIS spirits to higher places or dimensions or let them fall. What's a planet? What's a galaxie? What's the local group of galaxies? What's a cluster of galaxies? What are myriads of galaxies? What's eternity? For HIM it's nothing. Amen.

Okay... this thread's gonna go to get a wrecked train. This is the end, and the end of the story of Clark Kent... my friend...

What's up? Let's dannce! Bring yer horsen and sheep to der stable and let's dannce with pretty maiden! Play, fiddler, play!

Hau! Tokeske yaun he?

Hau!

But hold away the matches, because of the metaphorical steppe fire. Yelo! ...hihihi ...the old chief is only afraid 'cause he lives in the prairie.

Have you got a link for that video on YouTube?

A lawyer? But maybe you are not wrong: light, for instance, can be described as a wave or matter.

Sorry I must disappoint you. I've never heard about the name Vortex in my family tree. My mother's parents came from Westpreußen (my grandmother) and from Schlesien (my grandfather). My father came from Sachsen (Saxonia). He was a mariner (as a young man he served for the Kriegsmarine) and met my mother here in Hamburg in the 50s, where they married. I think it was in 1944, however, when all family documents of my mother's parents were lost as a result of an English bombing, that destroyed their house here in Hamburg (I still live quite close to there, and the house was rebuild again, and you can still see where new bricks were used and where the destroyment once was). My grandmother was buried alive with other persons in the cellar, under the remains of the house, but she survived. Under Hitler each family had to lead an Aryan's proof, in form of a complete family tree, which went back many generations (there were clearly defined rules when someone was an Aryan or not). These family documents don't exist any more, for the reason I mentioned, and it's impossible to find any information about my mother's forefathers today, as Westpreußen and Schlesien were lost to Poland. Well, Vortex, I'll send you a PM with my name, and the name of my grandmother's / grandfather's (my mother's parents) family, but I'm afraid it won't bring us forward concerning the question if we're related, except in a sense of the awareness or understanding that there is a great probability we are not.

That's a great disadvantage for me; I will always be the preferred meal.

You said: "German is catchy, throwing the verb at the end of the sentence." Sometimes the verbs belong there. Okay - and about the rest of your posting let me think till tomorrow. It's nearly midnight here in Hamburg, and questions about the material that's feiner and reiner than normal matter, when it's even consisting of larger particles, are blowing my mind at the moment. Maybe Vort can give a statement here. I will let the curtain fall for today. ' Night, ladies and gents.

He mixed up real German words with a fantasy language, with a little American accent. Even if he didn't know German, it sounded quite authentic for Americans and absolutely funny for Germans, however. He was some kind of a genius in some ways.

An interesting standpoint. I will have to think about it. Maybe it's the same with me and English... a few days ago I dreamed in English, only a small scenario, but I've remembered it and I think it's because of this forum. I've never been in English-speaking countries or have I ever travelled much. Why should I've done this? Hamburg ist the best place. And, to be honest, I'm not a sailor, and I'm certainly a landlubber.

What makes it a "cool" language for you? Is it the sound, the pronounciation? What makes German so attractive for you? And, yes, you are right. I've found some sites about Old English recently, and it was very similar to German indeed, not quite easy to understand, but not far away. But later it changed and the distance between English and German became greater. But the roots, of course, are the same. But what I'd like to know was: what does it make a cool language for you? Der Wiener Schnitzel... und der Sauerkraut? Demokratie: schtunk. Liberty: schtunk. Free sprechen: schtunk.
