IMDB rating: 7.60 Plot: Troublemaking duo Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, posing as their industrious alter-egos, expose the people profiting from Hurricane Katrina, the faces behind the environmental disaster in Bhopal, and other shocking events. |
Actors: Watts Reggie,Bonanno Mike,Documentary,
Would you like to save the planet for new years?
The true culprit in Global Climate Change is the SUN! BUT, whether you believe it is caused by mans green house gas emissions OR through natural cycles, one FACT is clear: In 5 billion years, the SUN will destroy all life on Earth. Once the Sun exhausts its hydrogen fuel, it will bloat into a red giant. Its surface will engulf Venus and may extend to our orbit.
Science backs this fact. Nuclear energy my friends is going to kill every polar bear, furry little seal and talking cartoon rabbit and dear on this planet! Yes, the same type of energy developed by the USA with the sole intent to murder peace loving Asians on the brink of surrender will destroy Mother Earth in the future.
The only course of action we as humans with a social conscience can take is to destroy the Sun, and do it before it gets a chance to destroy our precious planet. Right now, the Sun is sending harmful UV light which is fueling the green house effect, it is also a key component to the climate of the Earth…IT must be stopped if we are to truly survive. We can sit here and point fingers or we can attack the source of the problem head on.
Will you join us in our struggle for survival by writing your representatives and demand that they encourage global cooperation in this Earth saving task? If you wait another 5 billion years, it will be too late!
In order to buy time, we must reclaim as much hydrogen here on earth and send it to the Sun in order to post-pone the inevitable until technology is developed that will destroy it.
The UN needs to establish a Global Hydrogen Reclamation Committee, staffed by the best and brightest sociologist. This committee will be responsible for deciding on which nations have surplus hydrogen based on potable water supplies and indoor plumbing. These nations will contribute those surpluses of hydrogen to be collected on behalf of the world, to be sent directly to the Sun in order to stave off disaster just one more day.
It may sound impossible, but it is better than doing nothing until a suitable solution to destroy the Sun can be found.
We must work to get China and India on board. Also consider the benefits gained from "Yellow" technologies! Jobs will be created in the Global Hydrogen Reclamation Division and there will be many more jobs directed toward creating a device or method to destroy the Sun.
While the "Green" movement seeks to profit from a temporary "fix", the "Yellow" movement actually seeks to stop the problem at its source! By destroying it once and for all. Only then will this life giving planet be habitable for cola drinking polar bears, sad eyed baby seals, hyper-intelligent dolphins and talking cartoon animals. Unless of course you deny the science which backs the fact that the Sun will exhaust its fuel source and become a red giant…thus destroying all those lovable creatures previously mentioned. Or are you in the pocket of "Big Green"? Bent on raking in profits from temporary and futile fixes with out a care about what will come in the long run…?
Something must be done now to ensure the survival of our life giving planet for eternity! Governmental action must be called upon in order to save Mother Earth from eminent destruction. We here at M.A.N./F.I.R.S.T. (Mankind Against Nuclear Fusion Intent on Reversing Solar Tyranny) believe the science is settled on this issue. Big Green would rather profit in the short run with curly light bulbs and electric cars, but WE offer a solution to a very real problem!

There’s no way I’m reading all of that. But you’re against nuclear. So we get rid of it. What do we fill the void with? Coal? Oil?
Anything else is either ineffective or untested.

How many times you remembered me, oh ! Narada? what we learn from this story?
we go to heaven now…and then come to earth. (EPISODE 3 will come soon, since the Animals in forest postponed its trip to Africa due to heavy rain and strom there at Africa)
HEAVEN
Narada: narayana..narayana..
Sri Vishnu: Narada, welcome. what brings you here, narada ?
Narada: I have come here to ask you a question, oh ! narayana.
Sri vishnu: oh ! Let me hear it from you, Deva rishi.
Narada: Oh ! Thanks for hearing me, oh ! mahavishnu, i am singing your name every second
all the day, singing your glory all my life every minute of it, oh ! God, can any one there
more devoted to you than me ?
Mahavishnu: is that your question ? oh ! Devarishi, a farmer living in the earth is the great devotee,
why, he is the greatest devotee than you, narada. you go there and see him.
Earth
narada: yes, there the farmer..does he think of narayana, let me watch..
Farmer: while tieing a cow..om hari..hari..govinda.
while sitting to take food: om hari hari narayana..i am taking this food because of you oh ! namo
narayan..narayana..
morning: Govinda, hari..hari..oh ! God narayana, may i always have faith in you, i seek nothing else
while feeding the ox: praise be to Hari, who sustains the world..om namo narayana..hari..hari..
Narada : oh ! my dear farmer, what a pious man you are !! A great devotee of God Mahavishnu..
you keep repeating the name of narayana.. how many times or how often would that be?
Farmer: well, i think of Hari as i get up, before i go to bed, while taking food, as many times in
between as my work permits..
NOW AGAIN TO HEAVEN
Narada: Om namo narayana..narayana..narayana..i saw the farmer..Narayana, Madhava, Kesava,
Thiruvikrama, vamana, sridhara, rishikesa, padmanabha, damodara..nandha nandhana..
Mahavishnu: what narada ? what do you say ?
Narada: Narayana..what i have to tell ? is he a great devotee than me ? He is thinking of you
at night, in the morning, and a very few times only in between, while i think of you all
the time, even though ..and yet you call him one of your greatest devotees..wonderful..
Mahavishnu: (YOU WILL SOON SEE WHY?) Narada i give you a vessel filled to the brim with oil
balance this vessel on your head, walk around and come back here without spilling
a drop of the oil…..
Narada now with vessel on his head.. He speaks himself..” i must be causious lest the oil should spill..Ah ! Ah ! that was a close call, had i slipped, the oil would have split. i must be more careful..Aha..finally i completed successfully..om namo narayana..i did it successfully, narayana..
Mahavishnu: Good, you are back..nice. narada, tell me now how many times did you remember
me during your walk ?
Narada: not once prabho..i am afraid. how could i ? All my attention was fixed on the oil & vessel
Mahavishnu: HA..Ha..narada..that former has hard work to do, yet he remembered me at least
as you said a very few times, while you could not remember me even once..
Narada: narayana..narayana..i accept, those who remember you amidst hard works without doubt
even if they say a few times a day are really a greatest devotees…

Dear Mathangi Rani
Yet another great moral story from you.
Excellent way of telling whom God loves more and Who is God’s real devotee.
I do recite Adityahiruthayam ( in my mind ) while doing work ) and other astothrams like Vishnusaharanamam. it gives me lot of mental peace and keeps my mind occupied also.
ofcourse i do my job also lol
This story is based on a poem by Nirala.

if President Obama ran for president again would you vote for him?
in my opinion , everyone expects WAY to much from him already .. our last president was an ass , and we elected him TWICE ! obama is 1 million times better then bush ever was . idk why people expect him to be like super man and fix the world .
he’s TRYING to get us out of the economic crisis . he’s not GOD he cant work miracles .
i just feel like people are nagging him left and right , and when they dont get what they want they claim he’s the worst president in history .
yes he made a few mistakes . but its much better then what bush has ever done for us , but No , there wasn’t a big fuss on the news about how bush flipped off america . but there WAS a big thing on how obama " killed a damn fly " oh my gosh that’s like a million times worse then flipping off america =[ oo ho ho im going to cry ! please … people need to get their heads out their asses and look at reality . no ones perfect . bush was far from it , and obama is way ahead of bush .
so if obama ever ran for presidency again i would most DEFINITELY vote for him !
it feels like a big stabb in the back .. people were all gun ho and celebrating when he won . nd now they hate him …
i love this answer .. although i think people didnt JUST vote for him because he was black . it was partly that and because he was a good candidate . if he was white , people probably wouldnt have made such a big deal about this and he would have still won. but heres the answer that also makes sense by the person with the cat icon :
We had no choice. He was the only option.
To have Palin a heartbeat away from attaining the Presidency would have been a disaster beyond comprehension.
I’m still convinced that the election was given to Obama when Palin was chosen for McCain.

IMDB rating: 8.20 Plot: Attempting to impress his ideologies on religion, relationships, and the randomness (and worthlessness) of existence, lifelong New York resident Boris Yellnikoff rants to anyone who will listen, including the audience. But when he begrudgingly allows naive Mississippi runaway Melodie St. Ann Celestine to live in his apartment, his reclusive rages give way to an unlikely friendship and Boris begins to mold the impressionable young girl’s worldly views to match his own. When it comes to love, “whatever works” is his motto, but his already perplexed life complicates itself further when Melodie’s parents eventually track her down. |

Why is it when someone works for a company for a long time they feel they can do whatever they want?
I just got my first professional job after college. I’m relatively young and new (23 yo). This is a hospital that contains a large number of employees. I notice employees that have been here for 10 or 30 years. They feel they can do whatever the hell they want to. Even treat people who are smaller then them like ****. I notice they have a kind of like don’t care type of attitudes about issues that are pressing as well. Also they are more likely to say what they really feel about some issue. I notice this for employees that have worked short times as well 2 to 5 years.
I know what you mean because I am in a new job, But, sometimes its not that they do w-e they want its, that they’ve been with the company longer and they do KNOW more then us. So, we feel like they do w-e they want. You get very comfortable when you have been working in a company for such a long time. I worked at Washington Mutual for 5 yrs and I felt so comfortable but, I never treated anyone bad if I needed to train you or help you in something I would do it! Good luck!
Me | Aug 11, 2006
one word.. SENIORITY .
babes | Aug 11, 2006
When you have been going to the same place every workday for 10 to 30 years, you become comfortable. Kind of like going home and sitting on the couch.
It isn’t something they probably even notice (you do, because you are new with fresh eyes).
However, being really comfortable does not give them the right to treat newer employees with disrespect. It could be that it is harder for employers to fire someone with that much seniority (they would have to have a really good reason and lots of documentation).
Please don’t use these employees as "models" of how to behave on the job. Work hard, don’t gossip or mistreat co-workers and if you must complain - be prepared with a solution.

What's a good "bad" movie on Netflix?
Me and my friends are gonna watch really bad movies on Netflix using the party feature on Xbox Live. Any one know some poorly made movies that we can sit there and laugh at. We already watched "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus."
the classic is Plan 9 From Outer Space–that one is lots of fun. it’s impossible to catch all the goofs; they’re coming too fast.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space is another so bad it’s good.
I haven’t seen them, but I’ve also heard the following are really, really bad:
The Beast of Yucca Flats
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Manos: the Hands of Fate
then there’s my personal favorite–Striptease. how can a movie with so much money have acting so bad?

evil dead 1, is on there, it actually pretty good but very craptacular, it was later remade by the same director into a very funny comedy,
behind the mask the rise of leslie vernon was a great horor
if you like horror theres,
fido
the host
or tons of episodes of
the masters of horror, but before you choose one, you should check out who directs that particular episode, cause some of the episodes are way to gross for all audiances. like the one by takashi miike, its gross gross and sick, but for the most part, the movies are funny.

IMDB rating: 5.40 Plot: What brings best friends together? For Daphne, Velma, Fred, Shaggy and Shaggy’s spunky pup Scooby-Doo, it’s a mystery! The feature-length live-action Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins original movie takes you back to when four teenage sleuths (plus one dog detective) first met. Unjustly accused of staging a spooky practical joke complete with ghosts, the kids are suspended from Coolsville High. To clear their names, they team to solve the supernatural mystery… and head straight into nonstop laughs and adventure. Special fun, special friends and extra-special effects make this “how-it-all-began” story - from boy-meets-dog to the first trip in the Mystery Machine and more - a doggone great time! |

Tale of the Tribe

IMDB rating: 1.80 Plot: A modern sorceress crosses the line and contacts a force from beyond, disrupting the fabric of time; two lovers are threatened by forces unknown; eight souls draw together mysteriously. |
Actors: Cegnar Justin,Bravin Nick,Marcel Gregory,Elder Brian Lee,Meanza Jeffrey,Gjokaj Enver,Drama,Romance,
Will you please tell me I did this one right? (But if not, don't placate me with untruth…)?
Long before the birthing of Christ, or other Kings,
Before man pulled metal from the cold stone, and forged
weapons, tools and barring gates to which man now clings,
I bring you a tale by which a tribe was once scourged.
It was a bitter Winter and food was scarce had;
Barely could an infant suckle starved mothers’ breasts.
Inside the sealed cavern, the air was stale and bad;
Growing fear, a presence that could not be suppressed.
The old, wise woman held council with spirit guide,
Burning fragrant herbs and gazing into smoke.
Worried eyes of tribesmen were averted in pride,
The silence was broken when the old woman spoke.
She called to her the leader and his strongest man;
"Let us three go quickly and tunnel through the snow.
I will then tell you what the Ancient Ones demand."
Shadows shifted on cave walls as her torch burned low.
The people of the tribe were uneasy, dared hope;
Braced for blast of wind as the stone was pushed up slope.
Outside the killing cold was barely kept at bay,
Two men given orders felt dread consume their thoughts.
What price those unseen spirits bade they must then pay;
Yet in solemn hush, hearts heavy, did as were taught.
First they took the fur-lined cape from the old, still form.
Then they stripped the flesh from those old familial bones.
Lastly, they took the heart, not beating yet still warm;
Carried meat back to the cave and rolled in the stone.
They stood before the girl whom now would be woman;
And placed their heavy load before her on the hide.
Her Presence, then become something more than human,
She nodded once and saved tears, later to be cried.
"People, I bear tidings both sorrowful and sweet;
we have lost our dear Old Mother, she is now dead.
But these men were fortunate, they bring us bear-meat!
Enough to last until the Spring," she glibly said.
No one knew this secret, save for daughters of She
Who bore a line of daughters which ends now with me.
I attempt a sonnet-set here. If it is not correct, then I am going to make up a name for it. So please give it meticulous critique, if you will.
aaaaarrrrrgh!!!
Such a great piece of writing - and at
the end you ruin the effect by talking
about ’sonnet-sets’ and ‘making up
a name for a new form’……..
[I am a 'form anarchist', and such
talk causes me to have a serious
emotional response]
You write well, so leave the naming of
forms to festering pedants in musty
offices at at prestigious universities.
It’s not even close to being a sonnet.
Get over it. It’s too well-done to be
crammed into a ‘form’ anyway,
whether new or old and stodgy.
Let content come first and form
fall as it may. Or not - but if the
form doesn’t fit as well as you like,
accessorize! and hope for the best.
(kinda like you did here)
