Why Islam is Violent

Posted 06-30-2015 at 09:02 PM by Continuum

note: I used 'Buddhism' as representative of the major Eastern religions.

1.[B] Buddhism[/B]: 1. 90% good people, 2. 10% evil-prone, 3. no violence in holy texts, 4. Non-martial founder, 5. limit violence, 6. Large number of followers

2. [B]Judaism[/B] - OT: 1. 90% good people, 2. 10% evil-prone, 3. Lots of violence in holy texts, 4. Non-martial founder?, 5. no limit to violence 6. Small number of followers

This is true. There are supposedly many avenues to help ex felons however those doors seemed to stay locked!!! Many will always be in and out of prison but many want to change and better themselves and their lives. If the government wanted to keep them from turning back to crime there should be more halfway...

Astros Radio Guys Have Improved Over Time

Posted 06-29-2015 at 08:39 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The Houston Astros have had Milo Hamilton. They've had Alan Ashby. They've also had Brett Dolan. And they've also had Dave Raymond.

Wings (1966), directed by Larisa Shepitko ★★★★

Posted 06-29-2015 at 01:15 PM by oeccscclhjhn (I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.)

Ukrainian director Larisa Shepitko's debut film. Included in Criterion Collection's / Eclipse Series 11: Larisa Shepitko which includes this film and her last: The Ascent (1976).

The opening scene is an out of focus view of shoppers on either side of a busy street. I immediately got the feeling like I was in a Michael Haneke film, and that I better pay attention or I'll miss something (as in Cache's final crowd on the steps scene, and the early scene in his The Piano Teacher, when...
