    Reading Groups

    I think having smaller groups within this forum would be nice. One of the reasons I joined was to broaden my horizons, but I still want to enjoy what I am reading. I have read two of the books of the month, but there were several other books that were voted on that I think I would have enjoyed...

    The first sentence in the book you're reading

    The orders were that while Caesar and the major part of his army were in Britannia, none but the most urgent communications were to be sent to him; even directives from the Senate had to wait id Portus Itius on the Gallic mainland until Caesar retuned from his second expedition to the island at...

    Being SCARED by a movie

    The ring kept me from s;eeping soundly for several weeks. It was not so much the movie itself that was scary, it just got my imagination flowing in a different direction than what it is used to. I watched several movies when I was really young ( around seven) that had an effect on me...

    Writing Workshop

    Sounds like fun! Yeah, just give us a partial sentence and we will finish the rest...500 words or less. Should it be POV specific, i.e. all of us write 3rd or 1st person, just to get a feal for proper POV use...or anything goes just for fun?

    Favorite TV show of all time

    Hey she's like my mother too!:D I used to love the X Files years ago. Then came the Sopranos, and HBO ruined it. I really like Two and a Half Men, but I see it going down hill fast. Right now I just like South Park and The Family Guy, and Greys Anatomy. As for best of all time, I can not...

    Muslim Over Reaction to...everything

    The bad thing is, from what we are told, they go directly to heaven if they kill an unbeliever, it's in their book. Oh yeah, there are a few virgins up there if they die while killing the infidels. I know it sounds like I am slamming all Muslims...I am not, I really want to understand what is...

    Muslim Over Reaction to...everything

    From the bible...not quoted: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. EXODUS 21:24-25 "Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death." EXODUS 22:19 "He who sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." EXODUS 22:20 Those who break...

    Muslim Over Reaction to...everything

    I realize there have been many thousands killed in the name of God. I do not think christianity teaches to kill anyone. Like I have said before, I am no scholar in any religion...however, is this taken out of context? "Strike off the heads of the disbelievers"; and after making a "wide...

    Muslim Over Reaction to...everything

    I do not remember any Catholics, no mater how small of a group, wanting anyone’s heads for offending the Virgin Mary after the show aired! That would be a funny sight; old ladies with behead Matt Stone signs. Believe me, if this had happened, it would have made the news.

    Iraq-what should we do now?

    Can there be an Iraq not ran by radical Islamists? I am not a Middle East scholar, nor do I live there, so my opinion is just that. If there is no influence by the outside in Iraq, or more specifically, put Iraq into a hermetically sealed container. Essentially you then would have tribal...

    Muslim Over Reaction to...everything

    Looking at the pictures of picketing Muslims with signs that read "Behead those who insult Islam" and other colorful phrases on handmade signs made me shiver just a bit. I realize that this is just a handful of the Muslim people, but it seams to me that a handful can sometimes be enough...
