I recommend a boycott of the program. Wouldn't want to become addicted to watching snakes.

If ever I write my own "meaning of life" it will probably have less about seeking pleasure or seeking enlightenment and more about spreading happiness. And the question may now become "what is "happiness" and how does one spread happiness, all the while living in the moment...

However, in the 2007 version, [spoiler]why did Russell Crow's character get on the train in the end? Couldn't he just have walked away?

Hmm, I liked the Bourne Ultimatum. Last night we watched the Bourne Supremacy -- I confess it is bit more interesting than either the first or third ones. But the film we really appreciated this weekend was 3:10 to Yuma[spoiler] -- a classic western with lots of chasing around. It's also a very inte...

...Lawless in Lotusland Lawless here. I lurk from time to time. Have been busy ranting about lawlessness in various and sundry jurisdictions like Myanmar, Pakistan, the USA and Canada. Happy new year to all those on llizard's forum. Speaking of Lucy, someone once called me "Lucy in the sky wit...

I wonder if it's actually fear of lawsuits. There are plenty of things that are still completely fine after the expiry date has passed. I have absolutely no doubt that it's fear of lawsuits.

Terror in the name of Islam is being committed not only in London, Madrid and New York, but also in Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Terror is giving a bad name to otherwise legitimate resistance in Iraq and Palestine. Such terror is our own problem first and foremost. It is not up to the West to c...

I tried downloading 1.0.2. The "blank page" problem has not been cured, although it may be a bit faster than 1.0.1. Llizard, what's a "profile?" (as in firefox erased your profile)

I am having a terrible time trying to deal with the mass deaths in Asia; how are forum members coping? Yes, it's really wrenching. I am thankful that so far I have not heard any news of people I know who have been personally affected. Perhaps you are feeling much the way I felt when hearing about t...

ARe there any rules about this that I might try to break? :lalala: It's all a matter of interpretation about what emotions, if any, the animals are representing.
