People outside of America tend to hate American football. I really dont see why the NFL is attempting to sell this to Europe. Personally American football is my favorite sport, hands down no other is even close.

21Yet Another Question For People in Europe
by gitasatsangha inthis goes into the whole football-soccer thing.
i was watching a sports channel last night and an nfl-europe game came on between the scottland claymores and the amsterdam admirals.
the stadium was huge (regular football stadium) but it looked like about 500 people were in attendance.

SaintSatan,(ignore the above post)
For your premise to hold, you need to reconcile all the white people on the government council, and the central role many white people played.
I took a different meaning from all the black actors but since I just got back from the movie literally minutes ago I hope I can communicate it clearly. When you look at art from Africa, you tend to see a very ‘color out side the lines approach’. Or, for example the dance seen in the movie, very African. It almost looked like a type of chaos, very human. No patterns, no order just expression the complete opposite of what a computer would do. Compare African art with some Japanese art; Japanese art tends to almost be binary in nature, much more closely to machine in nature. The point is, African culture tends to produce people that would be more willing to live without machines. So maybe the point is that out of all the people offered the out from the matrix, the ones that choose would be the ones that happen to be more willing to live without machines, which happens to be prodominatly A-Americans.
My argument is not well formed; maybe tomorrow I will try to clarify.

Reading the Awake is EQUAL TO A 4 YR COLLEGE DEGREE--
by JT inbelow is the basic view of jw towards education and in 30yrs theirs views really have not changed much- a tweak here and a tweak there, but after all is said and done you can still get a 4 yr degree from reading the awake smile
1969 "in view of the short time left, a decision to pursue a career in this system of things is not only unwise but extremely dangerous .. many young brothers and sisters were offered scholarship or employment that promised fine pay.
however, they turned them down and put spiritual interests first.

Actually Pistoff,
I don’t think he was trolling. I agree that FDR was one of our better presidents but he did skirt some constitutional issues. Just ask the Japanese. Also to attempt to make the case that FDR could not be like Hitler because he was to the left if a flawed argument. If you go far enough left the government becomes indistinguishable for the far right. Case in point, Nazi Germany is equivalent to Stalinist Russia.
Point being FDR was a good president, but he skirted the constitution much more the GW ever has. A different argument would be was it necessary.

It's fairly clear the filmmakers want us to see similarities between then and now. When, in 1933, the Reichstag is burned, Hitler blames Dutch communists for the blaze (though Nazis themselves started it) and pointedly labels them "terrorists." Once he becomes chancellor, Hitler uses the threat of "terrorism" to justify the suspension of virtually all civil rights, including freedom of the press.
The implication is pretty clear. So while the man never said 'bush is hitler' his comparison is there.

Maybe, or maybe some people just get pissed when someone compares bush to hitler. There is criticism and then there is just being a jerk. The two sides of this issue really shouldnt be to hard for people to see.

It probably has something to do with the slightly different sub-cultures that black/white people tend to grow up in. White familes (mid-class) tend to suppress anger and not know how to deal with it; create a hostile enough environment with enough suppressed rage it comes out in messed up ways. Blacks, unfourtunatly and for many reasons sometimes beyond their control, make up a disporpotinate segment of the 'poorer lower-class' segment of society where anger usually comes to the surface quickly and is not suppressed. As blacks start to migrate economically and form a larger middle class you will probably see more black serial killers. I would be interested to see a breakdown of the economic class that most serial killers come from, it might be enlightening.
or maybe white people are just crazy.

I liked your web site too. Currently I am working on my web skills by taking a JavaScript class, last semester I had HTML. Can I ask how you made your page? Did you hand code everything, including the jscript, or did you have an editor to help? And if you used an editor which one do you prefer? I have both Dreamweaver and FP2000, but I do must of my stuff in editplus (hand code).
