and damnyouparas - why do you not have spell check?

Well, it'd be complicated to do spell-check in a manner that would be usable without being annoying. And I'm not really interested in writing that.

Besides, I'd think that the student of English in you would see spell-check as a crutch that impairs our abilities to actually spell good (not to mention the whole spelling vs. grammar thing.)

Religion has always been a very touchy subject with me. From my standpoint my dad raised me as:

"What actions you take speak louder then any religion you may preach. A Triad (chinese mafia) who kills a man and then ask buddah for forgiveness is both guilty for taking a life and trying to hide behind religion for salvation."

That being said religion by itself isn't evil. It is just when people bend it to suit their own needs that it becomes evil. Religion is trying to answer the questions of: Why are we here? Who created us? What happens when we die?

point taken mary... that was a lot of alcohol talking though.

Although this movie was based on a true story.
I will however cut down on the harshness of alcohol (and radioactive craters) and simply say that I consider religion to be inherently detrimental to the wellbeing of the human race.

Discuss.

I just watched this movie called "Weird Science" and now i hate all science.

I just finished watching Not without my daughter and drinking... I don't know if anyones' watched this movie before or not it's kind of old (1990 or so) but it's about a woman who's married to an Iranian guy who takes them abck to meet his family, only doesn 't tell them they can't leave until they're there. Anwyay there's a whole lot of stuff about islam that I didn't know before. Anyway the whole thing just pissed me off and now I think the whole middle east should just be better off as a giant radioactive crater. Damn I hate religion.

Sure I'll go. Parking will be a pain though.

Anyone interested in going to Transamerica tonight? The Princess is showing it at 9:10pm. if you do want to go, drop me a line. I don't mind driving

So, barring a miracle in cross-country skiing, 24 is the total.

I managed to catch Clara Hughes' race this morning where she won the women's 5000m long track gold medal. Now there's an Olympic performance. She crossed the line, looked at her time, hugged her coach, and promptly collapsed into a heap on the ice. Forget giving 110% or leaving it all on the field or backs against the wall or any of the other bullshit clichés that pro athletes use, this performance was the real thing. Well done on her part. If you get a chance to catch the highlights from that event, it's well worth it.

That or the curling final. Canada's Third was amazing; he shot 97%, and they weren't exactly gimmes, either. I wish I could find video online, but no such luck thus far. Here's the result of the sixth end, in which he made his best shot (Canada scored 6 on that one):
