MarineGunrock says he's too busy to post this up himself, so he's asked that I do it. Here's MarineGunrock's List:

1. ABBA - Dancing Queen
2. Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt
3. Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
4. Shirley Bassey - This is my life
5. Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out
6. George Michael - Outside
7. Miquel Brown - So Many Men, So Little Time
8. Patrick Cowley & Sylvester - Do You Wanna Funk
9. Marianne Rosenberg - Ich Bin Wie Du
10. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

So... it looks to me in the video that the couple are supposed to Princess Diana and the Prince of Wales. Is the song about them too? Anyone know?

>> ^Peroxide:
Funny thing about the Christian bible is, it doesn't ask me to go out and lay waste to the 'infidels' or beat my wife, or anything of the sort.


But it doesn't say those things, thats a common misconception, the Qu'ran was written as book of religion, of law and of warfare, because the Prophet was not only someone of faith but also a warrior and a statesman. Further more there is plenty in the Christian bible that is also cruel and archaic anyway as well so. It does contain passages on conduct of warfare, that does not allow killing of innocents, women and children that seeks to accept negotiation over war.

Of course extremists bypass this conveniently by saying infidels are "against" Islam, or rather are seeking to eliminate the faith and thus its okay to kill those who are not Muslim. But a closer examination shows that more Muslim people are killed by terrorist actions then anything else, major scholars of modern Islam have spoken against that and against Osama himself. The events of 9/11 brought more hardship and misery upon Muslim people then any western populace.

With regards to womens rights, you are diluting the issue again by thinking that Saudi Arabia which forces women to wear head covering is the example of what Islam is. That is nonsense, Saudi Arabia practices Wahhabi Islam, a extreme reading of Islam with various add on rules, people there in itself question that here is a video of a Saudi writer questioning this. The faith there has more to do with keeping political power then anything else. Frontline's documentary the House of Saud explains this issue very well.

The Wilder's assumption that Islam would destroy Europe is vapidly stupid, Europe was ruled by Islam already, another aspect covered in the Islamic History of Europe. Here is a quick clip that shows how the interchange of information from the Greeks to Muslims to Europeans lead to Renaissance. Also When the Moors Ruled Europe.

There is much more that is seen all over http://islam.videosift.com, the religion is not perfect but you need to look at it with a wider appreciation to History and actually understand it before claiming simplistic uninformed views from a few extremist talking heads. Start with What is Islam.

A good post dealing directly with Extremism is Doha Debates video. Where At the second Doha Debates Special on February 28th, 2006 guest speakers, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Professor John Esposito and Diana Buttu, answered questions from the student audience on the issue of how to combat extremism and improve relations between the West and the Muslim world.

Lady Diana of the Isles must be cold in that armor.

I'm WRONG ! It's from Germany. This video is from the movie called "Mädchen, Mädchen" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258827/), and the girl (called "Inken" in the movie) is played by the actress Diana Amft.

And I've found it : “Also, das nächste Mal nehmen wir wieder die Räder.”, meaning: “That’s it, next time we’re gonna ride our bikes as well.”

When my critics find a message about the assassination of a prime minister encrypted in Moby Dick, I'll believe them.

don't worry, pretty soon we can all watch the same shows...
Tiempo Real, con Flaco y' Gordo
Siempre en Domingo with SCTV players
and
Good Morning Amerexico, with Diana Sauza and Samuel Championes....

These whining writers, gimme-gimme-gimme their mantra, may very well be shooting themselves in their collective feet-give distracted attention-manipulated monkeys another season of hurry and wait, and the veil of reconstituted entertainment will be lifted, revealed for the creative vortex it is, and dear Jesus, Allah, and Nosferatu, maybe TV's staff will shrivel like the geriatric lingham on artificial blood-flow stimulators it really is, and we won't be watching dick, on the cathode-ray nipple.....

Again I say, "Good Riddance to television as we know it."
Writers?? Actor wanna-bees?....Put on some gloves, and pick up yer shovels, we need cheap labor to build the NAFTA Super Highway......

Diana Ross and Ron Paul?!?!! Wow, that's just so... Oh, wait. No, thats Diana Ross and Ru Paul. I see now. Yeah. Guess I'm just used to seeing Ron Paul up in here, so... yeah.

wow

upvote for the
*terrible
and
*wtf

...I went to high school with Ru Paul BTW lol
..and is it just me or is Diana Ross starting to look a bit like Michael Jackson?

Personally, I find the vocal affectations so many female singers seem to use to be distracting (eg. Diana Krall, Norah Jones, the singers in this video... and most other popular female vocalist I can think of).

I like someone who just sings a song - hits notes and then holds them, without so much vocal athleticism. As an example: Stacey Kent.

This is very much just a personal taste thing - not any kind of hate or anything - but I encourage people to give Stacey a try.

Here is the complete translation:(bold text translated from Norwegian)

We are the best in the world* !!, the best in the world*!!! We have beaten england, we have beaten ENGLAND!! England: Birthplace of the giants, Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Atlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana!!! We have beaten all of them , we have beaten all of them!!! Maggie Thatcher. Can you hear me Maggie Thatcher? Your boys took one hell of a beating. Your boys took one hell of a beating."

*I know this is terrible english grammar, but he doesnt really specify if he means the team, all Norwegians or whatever, a better translation would probably be just "We are the best!!" or "We are the Champions" but we didnt really win the world championship or anything, its just that Lillelien thinks "we are The Best" at that moment

He's still got it...

I give up - you're all right; the towers were brought down as part of an (almost) impossibly intricate conspiracy, involving the White House, the owner of the Towers, your mother, and your pet dog. The fact that the perpetrators have kept silent on this for going on five years proves they were abducted by aliens and tortured at Area 51 with anal lasers.

It's all so obvious; why didn't I see it before?
Not having to provide credible alternate theories is FUN!
What do you guys want to dream up next?
How about...the Spice Girls killed Princess Diana to keep her from revealing her alternative car fuel made out of packing peanuts?!?

The last piece of commentary is hilarious. The sound isn't that clear so here's what he says as Norway beat England..

'Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!'

Farhad, try to stay on message - this is not a documentary about the inner goings on of the U.S. government leading up to 9/11, it's about conspiracy theories. This is one episode in a series of docs on conspiracy theories; Diana's death, JFK, etc. etc.

I'm sorry this doc wasn't exhaustive enough for you, but it was never intended to cover the vast amount of area you're complaining about - just conspiracy theories.

If you want meatier investigations, go back and watch some of PBS' Frontline episodes on the lead-up to the war; they're excellent. But don't crucify the BBC because they were covering a different topic entirely.
