Shinyblurry. You are so strange.


Titus 2:14

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

As a stranger and pilgrim in this fallen world, I take that as a compliment.

oh man... I remember that one. It freaked the hell out of me everytime!

I remember several other episodes i liked:



There's the one set in the future, and there's this kid who's going to be tested by the government, and he's all excited. In the end it turns out in this society, people with an IQ too high are executed to maintain society equal.

And there's also that one about the girl who gets transformed into a manequin.

And the one about this couple (i think) who get stuck in a sort of parallel time dimension where everything is put into place by blue men or something of the kind.

and there's also the classic about the box with the red button and if you press it, someone in the world dies and you get 1 million dollars (there's a recent movie made about this)

I also remember the one where a girl in the pilgrims' time and a boy in the 80's suffer from a fever and end up being able to communicate with one another

I used to love the 80's Twilight Zone episodes as a kid. There's a lot of classics.
For a genuinly creepy one look up "Grandma". Written by Stephen King. I believe the director was someone well known too.

love it. very "Scott Pilgrim"

The Mayflower and the people aboard her were a deeply religious sect of people that did indeed flee to the colonies to practice their religion. I fully understand that.

What you, and most cherry-picking christians fail to acknowledge is that the Mayflower crew was not the first nor the second or even the third permanent settlement in the new world. Jamestown, roughly 20 years prior was established without pretense of religion by wealthy Europeans hoping to find gold. The were ill-equipped and not manual laborers so to speak and that's why the first Jamestown settlement was in dire straights. A second crew arrived and began growing tobacco, which, at the time, the sale of tobacco seeds was outlawed outside of Spain. John Rolfe acquired some and thus established the first functional, economically viable colony at Jamestown a full six years before the Mayflower even sailed from England.

Economy, money and enterprise is what established America, not some freedom from religious persecution as, again, Americans have been force fed for years.

You're right, the first wave of settlers weren't strongly committed Christians, although one of the first things they did upon arriving was join the Rev. Robert Hunt in a communion service. However everything else is the complete opposite of what you said. Indeed, John Rolfe was the first to establish the colony, but what you've left out is that he was a deeply committed Christian! He is the one who converted Pocahontas to Christianity and took her as a bride. He had a Christian purpose for Jamestown such as to "advance the Honor of God, and to propagate his Gospel." He also said:

"no small hope by piety, clemency, courtesy and civil demeanor to convert and bring to the knowledge and true worship of Jesus Christ 1000s of poor wretched and misbelieving people: on whose faces a good Christian cannot look, without sorrow, pity and commiseration; seeing they bear the Image of our heavenly Creator, and we and they come from one and the same mold. . ."

So yes, Christianity was there at the outset, and it continued to be the prevailing influence in shaping this country.

I am not discounting what the pilgrims did at Plymouth. They did amazing things, especially with the Indians. I just want to clear that Plymouth was not what founded the colonies. They were not the first and were one of many.

If you won't listen to me, listen to the library of congress:

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Scott Pilgrim vs. the World -- teaser. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

I got a nice Scott Pilgrim feeling from this.

Who knew Hot Fuzz & Scott Pilgrim were made by the same guy..

Who cared?

You should see the home-made sex tape I made.

Also, let it be known that I liked "Scott Pilgrim" and am not ashamed! (Loved the other two too)

I loved Scott Pilgrim as well, one of my favorite movies. Pretty much anything ridiculously over the top is my thing.

I had loved the comics, and the comicky feel was really well transposed on screen.

I heard a version of this sort of joke a long time ago involving a conversation between a missionary and an Innu.


Yeah the joke actually dates back to 1974. From "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" by Anne Dillard.

The quote:
Somewhere, and I can't find where, I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary preist, "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" "No," said the preist, "not if you did not know." "Then why," asked the Eskimo earnestly, "did you tell me?"

The law they're breaking? Protesting in a Memorial. You can't protest anywhere in the parks without a permit. Everyone IS treated equally. The video itself is incriminating. It's labeled from a protest group as a protest video. It's not legal to protest without a permit in the parks.

An officer does not have to tell you what law you are breaking to arrest you. That's mythology. I know because I've been through it. It's the DA's job to figure that out. If the officer couldn't name exactly what you are being arrested for he has an attorney that will do it for him. That's why you need one too. In fact, in most places disobeying an officer is a crime. That's because police have a hard job, shitty pay, and should be respected, even if they're not articulate.

This makes it a very very bad idea to disobey an officer even if he doesn't communicate well ... but then maybe you weren't listening. In spite of the 1 in 10,000 instances that everyone hears about, the rest of the times the "dissident" loses.

If I'm at the capital I don't want my opportunity to visit sites disrupted by people, who I may or may not agree with in most general terms, breaking the Equal Rules For All concerning the management of protest traffic. You don't get to ruin innocent people's day just because you didn't get something you want. That's not being civil. If you want the rules changed you have to show that you're willing to live in the rules that do work. MLK would agree, I'm sure. Go dance outside and leave the Jefferson pilgrims the hell alone.

Yes, dancing is a visual distraction.
