Violence

I thought you guys deserved to know what has happened regarding this episode.

There was this person who used to work for my uncle, at his farm I belive, and used to steal from him. He eventually found out, and fired him, but decided not to press charges against him, he just fired him. That person, filled with evil thoughts, would clearly not get any jobs later, and sweared he would have his revenge. He eventually met 3 other people who had the shared the same hate for all that is good, and planned their revenge, all of those were previously arrested before.

On that night they had some beers and consumed some drugs at a local bar, and went to my uncle's house. As they locked all the family in the bathroom, they stole some goods to make it look like a robbery, and told my uncle it was him, and that he was getting his revenge, and stabbed him four times.

Most things they stole, they eventually dropped off in the woods nearby, including some clothes. But the thing is, all of those clothes were clothes that were used by people who were in the prison, and they had numbers on them. By those numbers, the police was able to know the responsibles for that crime and capture them. The ex-employee who wanted revenge, two other men, and a minor.

Now, in Brazil you can do pretty much what you want and get away with it, so the minor is most likely to be released, and the other 3 guys will probably get 5 to 10 years, if they don't escape before that, which is VERY likely.

Now, that been said, the whole case has been solved, and this thread has served its porpouse, so I rather declare this a dead thread. Also, I ask for trollers here to respect my uncle's memory (I don't belive they will, so I ask for Jay to please lock this thread).

RIGHT TROOPER: Is my helmet too big?
LEFT TROOPER: Nah... stop worring about it.
RIGHT TROOPER: It is, it is too big! That's why those people were laughing at me!
LEFT TROOPER: They weren't laughing at you, will you stop that!? They were talking among themselves and laughing, they didn't even see you!
RIGHT TROOPER: They did! They did, and they were laughing at my big helmet, and calling me names!

Asterix
Time
I am a huge, huge fan of Asterix since a small kid. I own about half of the books published up until the early 90s, and I've read them all at a public library when I was a kid. I haven't read the latest ones, the ones published from the mid 90s foward, but I intend to. I've heard that the last one is about an alien invasion! Which is really bizarre, because it goes out of the Asterix plotline base in such a drastic way, it would be like having a Star Wars book set in today's Earth...

Also, I kind of like Uderzo's way of writting, it's not as clever and brilliant as Goscini's writtings, but still he did a great job so far...

And I belive that as a kid I have watched "Asterix and Ceasar's Surprise" movie dozens of times...

"Hi, is this the russian war minister? Cool, listen, I need you to aim all of your nuclear warheads at the following location......"

Haha, it's all so funny... but you know what, Ric? I'm pretty sure that both NATO/USSR ICBMs were/are aimed at my city... after all it's an important port, where opposing forces could make a bridgehead (and I've already seen unloaded UN vehicles going South to Balkans during the war in former Yugoslavia). No matter what were the beliefs of our population, NATO had to target this potential site in Warsaw Pact country. And today, when Poland is semi-openly called "a threat" by Russia, you think they wouldn't try to "turn off" our shipyard facilities in nukyular attack if the war breaks out? (God forbid! )

I'm telling you, it's a real "luck" to be in the middle of that ****** Europe...

But at least I have post-WW2 German bunker about 5 min. of (fast) walk from here...


Well sorry if I offended you in any way. But, well, if you guys are menaced by nuclear weapons, so is the whole world, because such an atack would be so catastrophic that it would eventually affect everyone's life for generations to come, and I personally don't feel like anyone in this world could survive.

Hmn. This reminds me of a sketch on "Kids in the Hall", where this philipino kid met a Canadian tourist:

"Ah, are you an American?"
"No, I'm Canadian. It's like an American, but without the gun."

It was weird placed, it was right in the middle of Hayden's comments, with no proper introduction. Perhaps they were testing us to see if fans would not be pleased about it, so they know if they can make a special editon of Phantom Menace or not. I coudln't care less, I don't have The Phantom Menace DVD and never will, so I won't lose any money with that.

Dishonorable Luke
Time
What if Jabba had accepted trading C3PO and R2D2 for Han Solo? Or if Leia had managed to escape with Solo without Jabba noticing, leaving the droids behind? Wouldn't that be a horrible thing to do, leaving the droids with Jabba just to get Solo back? Then, he would probably have to fight to get the droids back anyway... So, either way, he would have to resort to violence. Well, either Luke didn't have much of a plan and decided to just throw in everyone at the same time and see what happened, or he thought he would resort to brutality anyway, and thought this was the best way to do... Quite Sithiistic, if you ask me.

Han: "Milenium Falcon requesting departure clearence, over"
Tower: "Roger, Milenium Falcon, taxi away to runway 14 and wait for the United Airlines 450 to land, over."
Han: "Roger, roger, uh... moving to head of runway 14 over."
Tower: "We got uh... some reports of uh, turbulence at 130 might want to cruise at 18 thousand feet over."


Or...

Obi-Wan: "That is no moon... that is a battle station."
Han: "What are you talking about? That is a moon over there..."
Obi-Wan: "Ah, yes, you're right... But... look! That! THAT is no moon, it has got to be a battle station..."
Luke: "No... that's a coffee stain..."

Violence

Once again I'd like to thank you all for the support and the kind words, I really apreciate it. Thank you all for being so supportive, even for a person you never knew in person and most ptobably never will.

It was somewhat of a powerful lesson life taught me this week, and I wanted to share this lesson with you guys and make you reflect on some things such as violence. Let us hope nothing of the sort happens again to any of us here, and that we may do what is right to avoid such things in the future. Those of you with children, please, teach them always that violence is wrong. If our past is bloody and our present is rotten, let us build a better future.

For now, I think this thread has served its porpouse, unless anyone would like to go on and talk about the "violence" subject, for that we'll always have that thread.

I will resume to post as my older self, being all geeky and humorous and such, because, well, that's what I am, and nothing can take that away from me, except maybe a gun opr a knife.
