WTF is meatloaf?

That's been pissing me off ever since I started watching Sister Sister.

[Stryke 9]

It's like the bastard child of a hamburger and a loaf of bread, with lamb and **** included. Done well, 's good, in a mystery-meat kinda way. Done poorly, it's basically an enormous hamburger.


And why the **** are you watching Sister Sister? Unless there's some non-utter-crap show that also goes by that name, I'm disgusted.

Tia is hot.

That's hardly excuse enough to put up with what happens every time she opens her mouth.

an0n's got other interests with her mouth

as for meatloaf, i wouldn't do a google image search if i were you

naaa, i really don't think i was wrong.  i never argued that Aramaic was a dead language; i said that people (while few) still speak it.  an0n on the other hand:

There is no Aramaic language. It's all supposition and guess work.......like Dutch.

And since everyone who knew Aramaic died a few thousand years ago, the pronunciations died along with them, therefore it is a DEAD LANGUAGE.

unknowingly (i assume, since i'm supposdly on your ignore list Stryke) you agreed with me, when you said

I should point out, though, that Latin's a thoroughly dead language, too, and yet we have a pretty clear idea of how it's spoken, because even though it's dead people have kept reading it and speaking it in order to access information that was written in the language- and since this has been going on constantly since the days when everybody actually used it conversationally, the verbal part has stayed, too. Same with most "dead" languages- the only thing that can make the spoken form of a language completely lost is to basically wipe out the civilization wholesale, and take basically everyone who spoke the language with it (like the Incas, Cretans, etc.).

that was my point, that people still know how to speak Aramaic today. therefore argue it as you will, but i am right... and i direct that at teh Orgy:  Stryke, squeak, and dumass

[an0n]

..........I'll put in terms you can understand: People in Egypt speak Egyptian (I assume). But that doesn't mean they can read heiroglyphics out loud.

[Stealth]

you're as bad as squeak.  

the point is... well... look at my last post, and you'll get it.  learn to admit when you're wrong.  it's not that hard dumass

[an0n]

Yet the ability continues to evade you.

Secondly, if they wanted it to be so true-to-life, why isn't Jesus black?

Don't know about that one, but he (the actor) is Jewish at least.

Capitalize? The film wasn't mean to capitalize on anything.



RE: Dead Languages - Hebrew was a dead language, kept alive only in traditional blessings and the like. But now it's a fully-revitalized one. Nyah!


And an0n and Stealth - you both really REALLY need to stop speaking to each other, like, NOW.

No offense but what's funny is I could have sworn it was you who made a post six months or so ago when the movie was first being announced that it was a "evil liberal Hollywood" portrayal, etc. Maybe it was Lib or someone else though. *shrug*

Maybe, but back then I may have not know about Gibsen's recent "change of heart" so to speak.

But yeah, I really liked the movie. Really thought provoking. So if you haven't seen it, go. If you are gonna see it, you'll be amazed. If you weren't going, you should.

AS for the charge of being anti-semitic, buncha bull.
A) If you know the story you know that Jesus had to die in the first place.
B) since you know He had to die, you can't get mad at the "killers" since someone had to do it.
C) if you still haven't seen it or seen it and still call it anti-semitic you're just plain crazy. (like an0n)

Well, I'm probably going to see it, but I might wait till its on DVD... so I can skip past the really gory parts. I mean, I appreciate the reasons why they're there, I just don't want to watch them.

Well, taking into account the basic skin coloration of people of that area in that era, and excerpts from the Bible, Jesus would have a brown color to his skin (not as dark as peoples native to Africa, but definitely not the pale coloration often depicted in Biblical art), dark brown hair (as opposed to light brown, as is sometimes depicted), and short hair (this is shown by a question by one of the Apostles).

 Joseph and Mary went from place to place trying to get place to stay and even though Mary was heavily pregnant no one ever let them in until finally someone said they can sleep in the stables with the animals. You want to argue that they weren't black?

Bah... Brutally realistic is different than gory just for the sake of it.

[Stryke 9]

Yeah, except that the reason Jesus is at all significant isn't that he got tortured in really nasty ways. I'm not sure whether this is "missing the point" or it goes all the way into "being sadistic under the guise of piousness".

[aldo_14]

Useful controversy.  Get's the bible bashers all riled up at the criticism so they block book seats in a show of support.

*is seeing tommarrow night with his parents church

*all seats in the theatre are bought out by said church

Oh boy.

Lucky you.
