As Regis Philbin said, it´s only easy when you know the answer. I this case, I knew ONLY that. But, it was enough. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¨Hey, what do ya know? I found Nemo!¨ ¨There's a man there! He's got a woman! She's tied up in a burlap sack and he's taking her to the Eiffel Tower!¨ ¨ Ah, eet eez Spring, eez eet not?¨

And along came a Raf with the correct answer! His turn.

What ABOUT my 'up'? ;) Ok, let's see.... "I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side. Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place."

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Close enough-it was the first one. Your turn.

In an adaptation of a novel by James Patterson, a congressman's daughter under Secret Service protection is kidnapped from a private school by an insider who calls Det. Alex Cross- not knowing the Detective has gained super-powers from an animal bite. Cross is sucked into the case even though he's recovering from the loss of his Uncle to a criminal's bullet. It stars Morgan Freeman as the hero, and Willem Defoe as the villain. (There's nothing "Amazing" about this movie.)

"My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse."

Actually, you meant the spoken section is "Late Lament", since the song is still "Nights in White Satin" until the "Late Lament" arrives. Meanwhile, this is "Comfortably Numb." Like a lot of people, I got into Pink Floyd a bit in college. I didn't do drugs or get the poster, I just listened to the music.

Yes. Too easy?

" You wanna dance, you gotta pay the band, you understand? If you wanna borrow, you gotta pay the man. Hey, I ain't emotionally involved, Bob, ya understand? Gimme some money. C'mon.... gimme some money." "That don't matter either, ya know...It really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance." "He looks like a big flag.

Or sorta spoken, I think....

songs remembered from just one line

That eliminates the sequels, so this is "ALIEN".

It wasn't that either- since Paul and Timothy would have acted morally-as they actually did. vpw didn't want to act morally like Paul-he wanted to speak AS IF he did, and do as he fool-well pleased. Paul told the Corinthian church their poor morals needed correction, and they needed to adjust their attitudes so they actually felt bad when they did wrong, or their people did wrong. (I Corinthians 5:1-13) As to other Christians, I try to make a distinction with what people actually do and say in their lives compared to a few demagogues who try to rule from the pulpit. I've seen Christians just blow off even local guys who tried that and did what they knew was right.

Is this the Beatles's song "Anna"? If so, there was an entire episode of Married With Children where Al went nuts trying to name the song, with only one word and 3 notes to go by.

Is the Nostromo in this one?

I have it down to a franchise, but not a number. Is it T-3, Rise of the Machines?

I think the author communicated himself poorly, and was addressing something completely different than what you addressed, and left out what you were looking for. He (she?) was addressing the long-term consequences of surviving rape/abuse, and about learning to live with YOURSELF and not spend all day hating the rapist/abuser. On a different page, they said this: http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/inner_healing_101.php "Many times when a person is hurt from past abuse, they will begin to think that perhaps what happened to them, was deserved because of something they did or the way that they were. This is not true. Abuse is never acceptable, even if a child was being out of order. Parental love disciplines and corrects, but never abuses." He's not saying the abuser didn't harm the person, or that it was acceptable. "Abuse is never acceptable." He wasn't writing TO the abuser or rapist in either case, but about the survivor, the victim. I'm not saying I agree with this website or this writer, but there's a completely legitimate point there. I think rapists should face FAR worse punishments than US law permits. However, I also think that the survivor needs to get to a place of recovery where they're not eaten up with rage, anger, hatred, loathing (of self or others), and can live with healthy emotions. I've seen people whose lives seem to be centered around nothing but perceived harm from others-sometimes real, sometimes imagined. They're in as much bondage years later to their abuser/attacker as they were at the time of the attack/abuse. They need to survive their pain, their suffering, and learn to live again somehow, to get through "normal" days that aren't centered around what they experienced, where their thoughts don't continuously circle past suffering, past abuse, past attacks. There's the trauma of what was done (or perceived in some cases I've seen), and there's what happens in the person's head afterwards. Many people slowly rebuild themselves, and become stronger eventually. Some people refuse to and continuously revisit it- not to achieve closure, but to make the suffering an integrated part of their daily routine. They can't go back and reverse the abuse, but they don't have to reconstruct it into their emotional lives. In that respect, they will have to learn to forgive THEMSELVES for what they were not responsible for at all- but they may feel guilty for nonetheless, irrationally. It's like "survivor's guilt"- where some people do their best to survive, and some survive and some don't, and the survivors feel like they could somehow have caused the others to survive and feel bad about having survived. It's one thing to have lived through such an incident, and another to get past it and live life without it hanging over every minute of every day.

The CABAL: Corps Assignments By Allusive Leaders
WordWolf replied to skyrider's topic in About The Way
Me, I thought it was interesting that he went away for over a year and left a tiny child with family members but not Mom and Dad. I thought it was more interesting that he described that same trip as supposedly the first time a minister traveled there "with his WHOLE family". Apparently, that kid really didn't count with vpw. Probably too much work. Then again, this is the same vpw that said women were built differently- and used an example that women can hold a baby for a while but a man will hand them over after a few minutes- and claimed it was a difference in how their arms were constructed. Me, I think it's a difference in how his regard was constructed. If vpw actually CARED for his kids or LIKED them, he could hold them for a LOT longer than he's claiming. I can hold a kid weighing much more than that longer than he claimed- if it's my kid. In my arms, and not just on my shoulders, I mean, just like the people in his example. ====================== And yes, vpw had NO military experience whatsoever and based his "understanding" on MOVIES and TELEVISION and not REALITY. He never entered any leadership training programs, either. I had more leadership training in college than he had in his entire academic career, and I never pretended I fully understood everything. -
[Apparently, either the goal of John's participation, or the Modus Operandi of John's participation, includes fogging the issues. In this example, a False Dilemma is offered where he supposedly is a reasonable person because he doesn't want to have his life "dictated" to him "by a special interest group that thinks he should devote the rest of my life to 'cult recovery'." Of course, nobody here claimed to want to "dictate" John's life to him. Nobody here wanted him to "devote the rest of his life to 'cult recovery.'" Is anyone here doing that themselves? No, but it's a tired old fiction that the posters here are doing that and have no lives outside of this board. John really can't tell the difference between what cults do and what the posters here do (who disagree with each other and are obviously the opposite of a lockstep cult), or what small towns do (like some Mayberry), and had been proud he doesn't and has no plans to understand the difference. It seems he's done all the growing in life he intends to.] [Well, we can see the HOW is to fog the issues and pass misinformation and remain "steadfast" in the face of contrary evidence, never changing his mind with a fanatic fervor despite reality and him having disconnects. I think part of the WHY is in that as well. That's a trademark- not of the devout- but of the fanatic.] [in John's mind, and he's had more than a decade to learn otherwise, there's no difference between the healthy processes you're advocating, and a fanatical zeal and life dedicated to exposing twi. John's fantasy puts you as a person who spends all his spare time coming up with anti-twi fictional propaganda and all your emotion hating twi and its adherents. But you're barely here- you live your life and visit here a few minutes here and there. John refuses to see the difference because it is inconvenient to him, repugnant to him. He MUST see you as unhealthy and your course as a nonviable option in living life.]

Well said, especially those last 2 sentences.
