[QUOTE]Feeling too strongly about issues doesn't stop me! I can usually see both sides though (even though I usually think the other side is wrong).  For one of my college classes, our prof had us pick an issue and a side to present a position paper on.  When we met with him to tell him our topic and side, he told us we had to write on the OTHER side.  I did surprisingly well, and enjoyed the assignment.

</div><div>Ooh, I would have loved an assignment like that. In my high school history class we were assigned to either side of a debate on slavery in the US and I had to argue on behalf of the insitution of slavery. Obviously, I completely disagree with everything I had to say for that debate, but it's fun arguing for something you're completely against, if that makes sense.

Don't worry Leisel you will get plenty of practice with it in law school,

Nooo MuSu I meant there were other opinions but people not understand the law....overroad the convo. I can't argue with stupid. 

Lizzie no pic of the placemat. It's terribly uneven and not finished! My mother is a brilliant quilter so it's a shame I suck. I'm decent at knitting. Hoping to take some sewing classes soon, as I found a local shop today!

Yes.  I don't even mind when people have asshole opinions.  As long as they can logically argue their side (or at the very least admit the REAL asshole reason they support it.  I give a lot of respect for honesty like that) then I'm ok.  But when people spout off ignorant garbage or start comparing apples to oranges then I'm done having an adult discussion with them.

LeiselEB

That is one reason I tend to stay out of debates on TK for the most part. I hate when I've read a statistic or study somewhere but can't find the source material to back myself up or don't quite remember the point said source made. So usually I don't contribute. But I do have opinions

Not to change the subject...well, ok, I'm changing the subject...has anyone read The Godfather and seen the movies?  What did you think? Did you prefer the book or the movie?

I loved Godfather I and II...three was a waste of celluloid, IMO.  The novel was awesome.

musicalsunlight

I haven't read the books but I did enjoy the movies, Lizzie. I don't remember the 3rd much.

JessAndTrav

Unrelated to anything, I want ice cream really badly, but I'm currently too lazy to walk the 20 feet to the kitchen and get some.

THIS IS WHY I NEED DH HERE, DAMMIT.

Loopyseven

I didn't read the Godfather books, but I have seen all 3 movies.  I enjoyed the first two, but not so much the third.  

wrigleyville

Lizzie, I enjoyed the books much better. The movies got... tiresome.

Nickivegan

Good evening! I saw the first godfather movie in the theater for the first time. It was a special showing at the Berlin Film Festival. An awesome experience.

JessAndTrav

I have never seen, nor do I plan to see a Godfather movie.

angelstar975

Mob movies are genereally too violent for me, so I've never seen any of them. I haven't read the books either.

Girlie1030

Lizzie, I've read the first Godfather and loved it, have only seen bits of the movie.  But, I just got H the trilogy on his birthday (Godfather was Best Picture in 1972) so I'm sure I'll see them all soon.  He's actually watching a special on it now. 


Holly, dogs are weird.  My blind female dog tries to hump our female cat all the time.  And my male prefers the garden hose.  I try not to laugh but I can't help it. 

Oh, and my BF and I are making homemade ice cream this Sunday.  I can't wait!

calixtine

Evening ladies!

I've seen the Godfather movies but never read the books.  In general though, I find the book is almost always better than the movie.

Nickivegan

I'm nor into the violence thing in movies either, but getting to see an American classic like that on the big screen WA an opportunity I couldn't pass up. Usually when I go to a scary/violent film I bring a blanket. I play it up as the theater is so cold I need it, but really it is because I am a big scaredy cat.

JessAndTrav

Calix, I'm sure you know this, but your sig is freakin' huge.

J&K10910

Calixtine, your picture is lovely, but ginormous!

Nicki, that's so cute. I stick with the old fashioned covering of my eyes.  I am afraid to watch The Godfather in it's entirety because of the horse head scene, so that may be the perfect time for me to take a smoke break.

I AM  a DINK.  I'd never heard that acronym before.  Huh.

calixtine

Yeah, I was having some resizing issues.  It looks like I fixed it so hopefully my giant face is not the first thing everyone sees now.

Harry-what does DINK stand for?
