Easter tv: the 10 Commandments.
yep this one

Ben Hur if we are lucky

But also Disney movies! Not complaining about those

Nite dina!! going to bed soon too

Goodnight Dina!!

Eli: We don't get the religious stuff. Well, I'm sure there's some of that as well, but it's not like what "matters" here during easter. We're not that religious I guess.

Here we get the pope doing his Easter mass thing in Vatican city airing live during lunch
but we actually get that every sunday (and on the main tv channel too!), so nothing new there

Ah, well now that you mention it, I think maybe we get that too. But it's on a channel that mostly just old people watch.

OMG LOLLLLLLLLLL!!!

One of my closest friends broke up with her boyfriend of two years (And they like, lived together), and he thinks she and I are sleeping together. I mean, admittedly I've seen her naked, but only because I was helping her pick out an outfit.

Oh jealous people.

Also, re: Kony.

Others express what I can't find words to.

Looooool so true. Their latest addition is "the passion of the christ".
Also, "Jesus of Nazareth" is a total classic that they show at least 50 times during easter.
Ohhhhhhh Chocolate eggs. I want the big Kinder one this year.

I have the Ten Commandments on Bluray. I am a sucker for that like old epic Egyptian stuff in Movies.

Also, Hi.

Ok, so there's a lot to respond to there. Some very good points made. Some extremely valid, and that I don't dispute.

But first I'll go back to my point about man's impact. This is a small part of a much bigger article that was published way back in 2004. Still holds true though, and I wish I had could find links to the graphs, because when you see if graphically it's very disturbing.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4797-earth-faces-sixth-mass-extinction.html

Of course we have an impact.
As I have already said, I believe we're a virus upon this earth, and I have not a single doubt that we are, and will be, the cause of mass extinction of species. Probably including our own in the end, directly, or indirectly.
So I'm not saying we don't have an impact, and that we don't, and can't make a difference at all. My issue is the global climate, the warming and cooling of the earth, and whether it's our fault or not.

And I do believe in climate change. That it is happening. It seems you think I don't believe in it, so I just have to make that clear, that I do. I'm just not sure I believe that we are the cause, or as big of a cause as it seems the powers want us to believe, and that it's even reversable.

And you know, the more I think about this, I do realize that my beliefs are founded in my distrust in politicians, and those in power in general. I can't look at this world, and truly believe they have the worlds populations best interest at heart (oil & wars as you brought up, for an example), and I'm more inclined to believe they lie for their own benefit. If a politician would tell me the sky was blue, I'd probably argue him on that as well. I know this about myself, I just don't always see it, and how it affects my beliefs and emotions towards different issues.

Because there is nothing wrong with reducing pollution, and I am 100% behind that as well. I'd like us all to live greener, and more in harmony with the earth, like I believe was intended before we mutated evolved enough to conquer the world. And I hope we can.

But I've read and taken in over me everything you wrote. I'm probably not fully convinced, or willing enough to change my beliefs about the issue. But in the end I feel we want the same thing, we just think and feel about it differently.

And now that I have officially branded myself as insane with paranoid tendencies, I'll gracefully bow out

I think that's ok though

You don't sound insane or paranoid either lol. I'm generally distrustful of politicians too.

Cause they're so ancient haha (well mine is lol)
I think it's awesome though

Looks kind of like the uni in my city. I can't post just the picture because I'm in work. Here's their website though:

Newport Uni

Is that uni in Oz? It does look very UK like

My uni was in the UK but looked nothing like Hogwarts unfortunately... I know those in Oxford and Cambridge really do though!!

English and American schools are so cool, in their old buildings and beautiful grounds.

All we get is this:



That's the admin building, the one right in the center of campus.

EDIT: Holy shit this is an old picture too, that big circle thing is now a giant war cenotaph.
