I saw this film last evening.

A really good film produced and directed by Russell Crowe and a appropriate opening day in rememberance of "Gallipoli" where Anzac troops were used as Cannon Fodder by the Brittish in WW1. A real Black Mark on Winston Churchil's biography.

I just recently discovered "Ted Talks" and now I am hooked. It's a series of 10 to 15 minute talks on a wide range of subjects where the speakers have all been pre-screened for quality of performance and content.

I just finished re reading some of his works and though he was born a Englishman he was a true American Hero and was right on with his comments re: religion.

<t>For me it was a 1976 Cad Coupe DeVille (the last of the big trunk Caddies). It was purchased new and within two months the silver vinyl top started peeling and then the interior molding and trim started peeling, then transmission problems, heating and air conditioning problems. Finally, when the ...

Isis destruction of ancient sites and museum artifacts in addition to their acts of barbarity illustrates really how backward they are in their thinking, and yet they go on to utilize all the weaponry and technology of a modern society. I guess they don't see a conflict.

<t>I have never liked the idea of a Minimum Wage. I instead believe in Offer & Acceptance as a part of a Free Society. You are free to offer and I am free to accept or reject.

<t>Embalming in one fashion or another as most everyone knows was practiced by many ancient civilizations.

'Gone missing' and now Passed away ?

Not To Worry-------They were just PASSING THOUGHTS :wah:

This is another expression that I think about. Where did he or she go? Have they gone because we will really miss them or are they missing because they are gone? Did they disappear? If we never see or hear from them again will they still be missing?:guitarist

<t>Why don't they just say he or she is DEAD or has DIED or was killed. Is PASSED AWAY supposed to be a gentler way to say that some one has BIT THE BULLET, BOUGHT THE FARM, CROAKED? PASSED AWAY.

I am wondering if perhaps it isn't due to the rapidly increasing group of seniors over the age of 70. Good medicine has let many of us get to that post 70 age, but along with it the possibility of Dementia & Alzheimers.

Even with my state of the art hearing aids I can't enjoy lyrics and even the music itself is distorted. Loud music is the cause of my severe hearing loss.

It's complicated is what we read as the marital status of many people when they are asked, married/divorced. Have you ever wondered about that? I have. Sounds like there could be an interesting gossipy story.

It was the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) which was formed during Re Construction after the Civil War 1866 and unfortunately lasted almost 100 years. To the best of my knowledge it was the only-organization that could truly be called Terrorist that the U.S. has ever had.
