I saw it this weekend. While it is a very powerful film, very well written and directed, and with the 1970s setting dead-on, I feel that Spielberg cheated a bit by making a powerful film using mostly gore and gun violence to shock... Maybe that was his intention, to show the violence in order to make a point of how horrible it was - kind in the way Scorcese or Tarantino did.

Also, that movie pretty much shows up what I've been saying on the political threads. When each side resort to violence, each side is a terrorist.

Now I totally understand you, starkiller. I am also like that, very reserved and all (having asperger's syndrom also contributes). I have never felt the necessity to date lots of women because I don't enjoy socializing with people I don't enjoy. I am very selective on my relationships, and most of those remain as friendships. I love my friends and I have no necessity to have sex with them, and we respect each others freedom and lifes, so...

So I totally understand those who don't actually go out and date and have this kinds of relationships, because that's not the important thing, that dosen't matter. What matters is what you feel right to you. And if by any chance you find someone you really want to have with you, you have the choice to marry that person, or not... You could live with that person and not legally marry.

What I enjoy about being single is the freedom it gives, but not between a husband and wife, but to myself. I can be by myself and isolate if I want to, and not feel guilty about it. Or, I could see whoever I want, and have the kind of relationship I wish. And yet, being married to someone you love is great, because you'll always have that person for you. Being single and being married are like two sides of a coin, like yin-yang... in a way...

Are you an ugly person?

(shot of a man breaking a hand mirror by facing at it)

Do women avoid you because of your looks?

(shot of that same man talking to woman, who are putting their hand in front of their faces to cover them from seeing his face)

Are you so ugly you become a reference point?

(one person asking another on the street)

"Excuse me, where is the closest post office?"
"Do you see that ugly man over there? Right next to him."

(pointing to the ugly man standing on the street at a distance)

Are you invited for parties just to entertain guests with your face?

(man is invited to a college guys party at this house frat)

"Wow dude, this is seriously freaky man! You should take that thing to a circus!"
"May I take a picture of you, so my boyfriend won't say my mom is the ugliest person in the world?"

(shot of the ugly man with his head on an oven)

Well, take your freaking ugly head out of the oven and try the new Perfoxycin!

(takes head out of the oven, cleaning his tears) "Wha...? What?"

That's right! With Perfoxycin you will look like a movie star! Just rub it in your face, and wait for the fast results! Now, how much would you pay for this product?

ugly man: "Nothing I'm broke."

That's rightm, you would pay hundreds of dollars, but it's available now for just 79.99! Call now, our operators are waiting!

(VERY fast announcer, in just 3 seconds): This product is to be sold legally only on international waters, the movie star term refered to kazakstani porn movie stars, the product may cause cancer blindness insanity tuberculosis and impotence, the cost of seventy nine ninety nine refered to kilos of gold the product costs seven hundred thousand dollars.

Yeah, those people bug me too. They should try and be more like me - I mean, I'm so damn good looking it hurts. I'm so devastatingly handsome that if anything were to happen to my amazing looks, 500 girls would kill themselves (and I wouldn't want them on my conscience - not when they ought to be on my face!) I'm so hot and sexy and I have the sexual capacity of a rutting rhino. But do I boast about it or rub it in people's faces? Hell no.


Or... do like me. Be an ugly, unnactractive man which attracts atention only from circus owners and shock TV producers, never from women. It's fun walking down the street and having mothers cover the eyes of their childs as I pass by, or homeless men looking at me and saying "Damn! What happened to you face?". Also, it's fun to amuze people with my "I am not an animal!" Elephant-man monologue.

Nonsense, you are welcome to post as well. There's no sense in limiting posting for only some people based on what the topic says, everyone should be able to express their minds. If I feel like posting on the married thread might add something to the conversation, I will, so...

Sometimes marriage can be difficult because it's hard to conciliate a life between the two, and there's always the money issue. I belive in such cases a marriage can happen in a later part of life when things "settle down", if they ever do of course... Of course, having a child changes everything.

I knew someone who told me to never get actually married, legally that is. He said that it would only bring problems later on. Now, by "problems later on", I belive he meant divorce, but still I do agree with him. Is it really necessary to show to the society that you love a person by marrying him or her?

Now, as there was a thread for the married OTers to share their experiences with their loved ones (and yes, I belive even same sex should be included), I thought it would be good to have a thread for the other side, BUT... not limitting the posting for those who are not currently married, since opinions may come from all different sides.

What could be discussed here is, how do you see your life as a single person? Is it by choice, or by lack of oportunity? Do you prefer being single? Or maybe not? Have you been married before, and now has been set apart from your ex companion? What happened?

Also, I'd like to point out that many of the OTers here are underage and not yet in the age where a marriage would be acceptable, although those are still welcome to post and opinion, I'd rather have comments on those who are at the age of serious relationships, and are not married at this present moment.

First, let me start by letting my point of view out. I am single, and currently not dating or seeing anyone. I had a few "selective" relationships, which by one reason or another, didn't work out or didn't progress to the point where they would become more "serious". On the question of marrying, I am still unsure. While I'd be happy to share my life with someone who would make me complete, and that should work both ways too, I am content on being on my own for some reasons. Freedom is one of them, even though this is disputable, as married people do share a sense of freedom with responsibility between then (and I must say, I am not that much promiscuous in which it would make so much of a difference being married or not). There's also the whole budget thing, as I am unable to afford a decent life for a wife and child and yet able to live pretty well by my own standarts. In a shell, I can save money I would spend on other priorities, so I can spend on crap for myself. Yes, that's a bit selfish, but still... Also, I consider myself a bit imature to have a mariage-type relationship - and I mean that by the "emotional" side of being mature, not that I couldn't make a married life work.

So, uh... come on. Share your thoughts.

Yeah Ric, there are those who say Tupac is still alive, and apparently there are a number of clues to support this theory in his music.


Like with Andy Kaufman. Only thing is, Andy Kaufman IS alive.


ANOTHER BELIVER!


If there's anyone out there that could really have faken his own death, that person is Andy Kaufman, so I really say there's a 50-50 chance of him being alive somewhere.

And Paul McCartney died back in the 60s.

Well, this thread has turned into the Me and Adam show without actually going off-topic. Still, all this crap about Adam doing the Ouija board is getting old, so does anybody have anything worthwhile to add? Strange stories, experiences, theories, etc?


OK so to make it easier, here are the subjects we can go through:

* UFOs - UFO sigthings, alien sightings, kidnaps

* Weird natural phenomena - Ball ligthning, human combustion

* Weird human phenomena - ESP, future prediction, telecinesis

* Afterlife contact - Ouija boards, EVP, ghost or spirit sigthings

* Other insanities: Bigfoot sigthings, Atlantis, conspiracy theories
