| Why is The Golden Compass getting so much controversy?? Philip Pullman wrote those books like, a while ago. No one was complaining then!! And he even got a few awards for them.
It reaches a point where it's no longer offensive to people; they just need something to complain about. | | |
| Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. | | |
| NY Times Article Regarding New City Mural
The main story is, a group of 11 artists got together to form a large mural that is placed at an intersection in New City (over by the court house and Keep Rockland Beautiful) and while there were some objections to the murals' imagery (ex: one woman complained to a county legislator saying there was a picture of a nude woman meditating when in fact she is not nude), the main objection by some people was that "it made New City look like the Bronx".
This is ridiculous; for one thing, it's just a mural- it's there in part to make Rockland beautiful (the same person curated the murals who also partaked in painting the garbage cans seen all throughout Rockland). For another, there is artwork (sculptures) all over that particular area (one that vaguely resemebles a vagina), and yet there's no objection to that.
Basically, my suggestion: people need to quit bitching about artwork and just accept the fact that there are several talented artists living in Rockland who are incredibly creative and would like to make artwork to make Rockland look not quite as shitty as it really is. | | |
| Wow so last night was fun. It wasn't spectacular, it wasn't something that would normally stand out, but for whatever reason, I found last night to be incredibly memorable.
Some memorable things I can think of that made the night interesting included:
-the fact that the hotel didn't have our table. Which is ridiculous, because we were at table 1. How they hell they managed to screw that up is beyond me. We ended up taking some random table which was actually the faculty table. Oh well. Serves you right for forgetting our table.
- Dan stealing sixteen candles. I'm sure that's significant on some level.
- the music we played in the radio on the way to and from prom was better than the music they played at prom (with the exception of Bohemian Rhapsody, Livin' On a Prayer, Sandstorm and Another Night)
- going to Cafe Wha? afterwards. That place is awsome, and I want to decorate my bathroom like theirs.
-Mike Park did indeed win prom king. This has no signifance towards me or my life, but some assholes have been trying to get him to be prom king since sophmore year. So congratulations, whoever you are.
- taking pictures at Jane's house before going to prom. For people that were there, c'mon and admit- you had fun :P
- the roses. I really liked those roses.
And all those miscellaneous occureces that happened inbetween.

| Woot xanga works again at school! Eh I'm just bored really. Two more periods, then I can leave, go dress up and chill until three in the morning. On top of my unsusually euphoric entry, I'm done with all my physics labs. So all I need to do for the rest of the year is economics final, lab practical for forensics, power point presentation for art, and physics final. And graduate. Woot I leave for Europe in a little less than a month. I started to attempt at learning basic phrases in French, Italian and Greek; French and Italian aren't that bad, what with them being romance languages and all, and I can pretty much figure how to ask "where is the bathroom?" without a hitch. But Greek is something else entirely. geiá sas (yeea sas) is hello while efcharisto (ef-cha-ree-sto) is thank you and miláte anglika? (mee-la-te an-glee-ka?) means do you speak English? Erg...I don't know how I'm going to remember simple phrases like that. Oh well, I shouldn't concentrate on Greek too much...I'm gonna spend most of my time in Italy anyway. And now I'm off to do...something....I should probably go back to working on my computer graphics final. Eh. Whatever. | | |
