who’s best?


Although this is a hard one, I actually think they picked right on this one. That rape scene with Jodie Foster..I liked that her character wasn’t necessarily super-likeable. She had issues for sure, but you wanted her to get justice.

meryl streep!
maricar | May 27, 2006


Once again, Meryl Streep. With Sigourney Weaver a close second, maybe tied with Glenn Close.

1. F ("god" is energy of some sort. I do not refer to "god" as him, I use "He/She/It" He/she/it is deistic to me)

2. F (As I said maybe some form of energy, undefinable)

3. A combination of A, C and a deistic view of a "creator"

4. F (Again energy that may exist in everything or ceased to exist after the big bang)

5. D but not completely. Some morals are almost always fixed, but I think D is best here.

6. F The "energy/deity/ god" who started the big bang does not judge or hold anyone accountable. Karma is partially true, but generally no judgment by any supernatural forces.

7. F I think life might begin in 3rd trimester but it is not as valuable as after birth

8. C

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

Plot: Long time inmate Twitch (Kurupt) gets himself transfered to a tougher prison than the re-opened Alcatraz. He claims it’s to be closer to his lady but his real motives are a bit more grandiose.

But there is a gang war brewing between the black and hispanic inmates…

internal stitch from almost 2 months ago possibly not dissolved and coming out?
I had a laceration on my hand that required 21 stitches to patch up. 14 were regular stitches, 4 were cushion stitches or pillow stitches, and 3 were internal. I was told the internal ones dissolve in about a month. It has been at least 6 weeks, I think more like 7, and I had just pulled either a whole stitch or part of a stitch out last night. It healed up great, no infection, doctor told me i was doing a perfect job at tending to it and keeping it covered. I noticed some dry skin around the end that was the deepest at the edge of the scar, and was pulling off dead skin, when to my suprise I found that the one piece of dead skin had something attatched to it. Only after getting it out and gawking at it did i realize it was one of the internal stitches, because it was white and wet. I’ve been having pain around the scar the past week or so… I know I cut deep, cuz i nicked an artery and cut through some nerves, so i assumed the pain was due to that… but after pulling that first stitch out, I noticed there might be a small white speck at the center of the most painful spot, which is also at the deepest end where the internal stitches were used, and I think that there might be another undissolved stitch there that my body is rejecting. I had 2 plates and 13 screws about 2 years ago in my right arm, and they had to come out about 6 months after they were put in because my body was rejecting the hardware. After getting it out, the doctor was suprised to find the one plate was actually broken in half, and a screw was embedded in the bone. I dont know if this is relevant but I figured i’d mention it to be safe. Anyway, has anybody else ever had a problem like with internal stitches not dissolving in a month’s time and then having your skin literally push them out? because i think that is what is happening with this other site of pain along my scar. the small white speck that i believe to be the end of a stitch isn’t close enough to the surface to pull it out with a tweezers yet (i’ve tried, and won’t dig my skin open to find out because that would hurt more than it hurts if i leave it be). I know nothing terrible is going to happen, but i just never heard of anything like this and would feel better if i knew it wasn’t unheard of. The first stitch that came out yesterday really shocked me, and it did kinda fall apart then after i pulled it out of my hand, but I would feel better knowing that this second spot is just a stitch coming out, as it isn’t the burning pain of nerves regrowing, and is actually quite a painful little bugger. Going back to the doctor isn’t an option, I have no health insurance… and honestly, other than giving me an answer, a doctor couldn’t be of any real help. they wouldn’t cut it out of my hand, as i know skin can rid itsself of foreign objects like this on its own, and it would be more work to cut out then to let it be pushed out. Any advice or similar stories, or even just a confirmation that this isn’t a freak occurance would be welcomed. thanks!


I just had a doctor pull one out that was sticking out of my stomach. The surgery that I had was about 5 years ago…lol. I also have another one under the skin that you can see. As long as it isn’t red, swollen, or warm I wouldn’t worry about it.

Barbie as Rapunzel

Barbie as Rapunzel
Barbie as Rapunzel (2002)

IMDB rating: 5.10

Plot: In this contemporary twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) uses the power of her own creative energies to paint her way out of the confines of a castle keep and save her prince from the nefarious clutches of Gothel, the evil witch (Anjelica Huston). It’s a charming animated tale that finds Barbie far from the sandbox and in a fantasy land with rabbits and dragons for friends and a chance at romance.

Zion, How do you take care of your eyes??? Help~!?
Now I have some questions…what do you think abour movies/shows with dragons, vampires, bashing, obcenity,..?
Do you think you can watch a cartoon with dragons in it like Barbie: Rapunzel, wich portrays a dragon very friendly?
How would you tell if a movie is right to watch even if it’s for children ? What categories of movies are best recommended for Christian audience?
As a Christian what kind of movies do you watch?


Just good clean ones, that’s all, if your conscience bothers you change it, God uses your conscience to direct you, I don’t do vampires, supernatural, dragons, if obscenity goes on and on and clear I move on, same with sex, but I really don’t watch movies much, I keep my T.V. tuned to Religious channels, Joel Osteen, Praise The Lord, the church channel, I listen to My T.V. as a radio, as I do my work or cooking.

How do I stop my really bad flatulence?
It’s affecting my life. All I can concentrate on in class is my flatulence. By flatulence, I mean it’s like the feeling of your stomach growling, but with gas. As hard as I try to hold it in, I end up stinking the room. It’s silent, but I feel bad for people around me. I see them covering their noses. Please help


Go to a store, such as Walmart, Walgreen’s, CVS Pharmacy, etc and get Beano tablets to carry with you at ALL times. It says to take 1 or 2 or 3 just before you eat anything, but I often take 4 tablets before I eat anything. I am 42 yrs old man who had the same problem until I started chewing up Beano tablets right before I eat most things.
Also, The Foods that you are eating are causing this. I had to Stop Eating certain foods. I am 42 yr old man who had to stop eating these foods as well as other foods: French Fries, Milk, Yogurt, Cheese, Saltine Crackers, Graham Crackers, Salsa, Tostito Chips, Dorito’s, and French Fries and Greasy hamburgers. I suggest you notice what foods are causing this and cut Way Down on those foods.

Lmao.
When you gotta go, you gotta go ;D
Stephanieeff | Feb 06, 2010


Well, for the most part, your flatulence is determined by your diet. Diets high in protein foods (meats, beans, and eggs) will caused the bacteria that is located in your digestive system to produce more gas, which equals more flatulence. Flatulence also varies from person to person, so there is a genetics aspect to it too.

So, basically, you will have to lower your intake of protein foods to have any affect on your flatulence.

Screw people around you. You need to do what I did in school — embrace your farts. Become the best farter in the whole school. When you feel the urge to erupt the anal volcano just hold your hands up to silence the crowd, bend over a little, lift your leg and peel off a bottom burp that will shake the windows. Everyone will love it and you will probably get a standing ovation. Indeed, your carpet bombs will make you famous. So next time you have to poke a hole in the ozone just remember; barking spiders is ALWAYS funny and you will soon have every guy in the whole school trying to exceed your butt sneezes.

Never let your stomach get completely empty. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. Don’t skip breakfast & no Pop Tarts! You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Keep some snacks in your book bag to nibble on every two hours so your stomach doesn’t become empty to let air pockets form to cause gas. You can nibble on a snack between classes.

Fluer de Lis taught me to use chlorophyll pills. They work, just give it time. It will help your smelly feet, breath and pits too. Also, eat some yogurt or take probiotics capsules.

Dealing with a family that INFURIATES me?
I’m 24 yrs old, finished college about a year ago, had a job but got laid off, so I had to move back home. I freelance, but I’m not making enough to support myself, so I can’t move out, and that’s irrelevant to these people cause no one respects what I do when I’m doing it, even though it’s what I went to college for.

I HATE my family. I’m a male and my family is a matriarchal parasite caught up in their image, how the world sees them. I’m not respected, and I bottle up my emotions. When I do explode, they play the victims and make it seem as if somethings wrong with me for not putting up with their BS. My mom’s house I’m staying in is falling apart, and I feel like I’m living like an animal. I don’t know how to fix anything. I’m not that kind of man (a carpenter, plumber, or mr. fix it), and when I tell my mom about maintenance, she just makes up excuses and beats around the bush, like the rest of my family. They can never be the ones "wrong" in any situation. Everyday there’s just some crap that gets on my nerves and it piles up. I’ve been putting up with this for years since high school. When I was younger, I contemplated suicide for years, but over time it’s turned to so much hate and loathing my thoughts have become more homicidal. I fantasize about killing these people.

My parents are split, and my dad can’t support me, so that side of the family isn’t really an option.

When I was in college and working, I was in HEAVEN. I was barely making enough to support myself, but at least I wasn’t here dealing with any BS. I LOVED that. With no money I was practically stress free.

And before anyone tries to make me look like the bad guy, yes, I am grateful for the fact that I have shelter and food to eat, and no bills to pay. The conditions are still infuriating. The reason I’m up at 5.34 in the morning is cause I mom stays home to get away from her BF when he pisses her off, so I have no where to sleep. No couches, just a makeshift wooden shelf against a wall with a cushion on top that I can’t fit on anyway but she wants me to sleep there. F*** THAT!


you my friend fit the stereotype for clinical depression, possibly bipolar

call your doctor

We cannot pick our family members. NOR can we change them. WE can only change HOW we react to them. We can only change ourselves. Try working on improving how you react to them. No real big changes at first, just slight improvements. Be like a duck and let the water they splash at you slide right off your back and away from you. Then, when things get better for you $$wise, go rent yourself a room/studio in a strangers house. A friend of mine does that, and he loves it. He only pays $200.00 pr/mo + mows the grass on the weekends, and takes the garbage out to the curb. He works daily work daily pay for a few days a month to pay for his room, and concentrates on his real career the rest of the time knowing that, that will pay off for him one day.
