  It was about the New York Five Points area during the Civil War timeperiod...

  1/2...Four 1/2 stars out of five.....very good as plmkrzyn described it is good, bloody and well done....very long run time.....

  Daniel Day Lewis "The Butcher", may get the big Oscar for this ONE....

  Yahoo review....

  Set in New York City, 1840-1863, a young man named Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) seeks vengeance against Bill "The Butcher" Poole (Daniel Day-Lewis), the man who killed his father. Though he secures the help of pickpocket Jenny Everdeane, the task at hand may be more dangerous than Amsterdam ever imagined when he realizes that his father was murdered as a result of gang warfare between the powerful Manhattan gangs. Amid the crooked cops and corrupt politicians of the Tammany Hall era, political enforcer Bill Poole stands out as only one scoundrel in the crime-plagued Five Points section of lower Manhattan in the early 1860s

  for years i started a conversation with ......i am __xxx_____ and i am a salesman for__xxx____!!.

  after being fired from a couple of jobs and while being unemployed i realized that i am much more than just a career person....many people get caught up in this.....many when they first meet you will ask, "what do you do" ?????.

  i think all of us are much more than just a working stiff.

  .

  i'm just not interested in celebriating christmas.maybe the witnesses had that one right.. if i had children i would probably give presents , just so they don't feel left out , thought not having them myself did me no harm , maybe it made me stronger.but christmas is just one big fake pushed by big businessess, i am not their pawn to be played with.. ok you can have a good laught a few drinks and all that but all the while we are being taken advantage of by the comercial world .imagine the money they would lose if their was no christmas.. can't wait for that big turkey tomorrow though.

  Monogamy overated!! ??

  by breeze in

  2. relationships

  monogamy is overrated.??

  when i was young i thought man was meant to have multiple wifes/sex partners, now i see why you only need one!!!

  the problems we encounter are more than enough to keep me busy, i cant imagine why a person would desire more conflict and grief.. .

  No, COMF, It is a question???

  I thought it was a way to get a discussion going with x-jw's, to get them to talk about monogamy as the best choice?

  I think it is the best in the long run.....but there are many Bible references to men with many wifes and as a young man this was an interesting alternate choice??

  november 26, 2002. by larry witham, the washington times.

  religious broadcaster pat robertson said yesterday the news media and political leaders have failed to educate americans about violence in the koran and in islamic history and wishes president bush had never said that "islam is a religion of peace.".

  "he is not elected as chief theologian," mr. robertson said.. .

  I believe the Moslems are the ones who attacked America.....9-11-01???

  Last week, Mr. Hooper said on a New York radio show that conservative religious leaders such as Mr. Robertson were "equivalent" to Osama bin Laden because they want to divide the world into a religious war. When asked whether Christian leaders would urge killing members of a different faith as bin Laden has done, Mr. Hooper said: "Given the right circumstance, these guys would do the same in the opposite direction."

  Yes, given the right attack on America I am certain that all would respond strongly??

  I agree that the Islamic group in this country is in full accord with what is going on in the rest of the Islamic world and bear watching closely.
