Society & Culture - 18 January 2007

Hi all,

I have established a comprehensive foundation of Spanish grammar, vocabulary and verbs, and feel that now is the time to make a decisive transition into the speaking and listening side of things, as well as speedy translation. Of course, since I don't live in a Spanish-speaking country, the only way I can get my 'head into gear' is if I expose myself to audio/movies in Spanish as an alternative.

I was scrolling through a few movies at amazon.co.uk and suprisingly, none of the films had subtitles in Spanish, despite having subtitles in other languages. Therefore, do you know if there ARE English speaking films that do have Spanish subtitles, and if possible, WHERE you can get them.

Any good recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

When Catholics talk about the One True Church are they talking about only Roman Catholics or all churches that call themselves Catholic like the Eastern Catholic churches - reading a little bit about these churches reminds me of Protestant denominations

People say islam was spread by the sword.

yet they can't provide proof of it, It is true that muslims fought for islam during the prophet's time but it was always self defense. NO one forced people to convert.

But why doesn't anyone say that democracy is being spread by the sword today.

Well because we don't use swords anymore.

democracy is being spread by the gun now a days.

If you believe that islam was spread by the sword, pease show me proof.

If you can prove it than isn't it the same thing today where democracy is being spread by the SWORD (GUN)..

Why so many people believe in an uncertaincy like God and Jesus and the devil, so profoundly, and are worshiped the most of the world, and completely reject another uncertaincy like alien life… is it easier to believe that some invisible force is out there judging everything we do… but its so hard to believe that there could be life in other planets… can anyone explain…?

Don't they know that His name is too Holy to write? This is the custom of many people, to show respect to G-d.

the newspapers are full of BB, but barely a mention of the undercover mosque show.

The undercover investigation found that moderate Muslims preach hatred against non-Muslims, call on Muslims to fight the jihad, preach that homosexuals are perverted dogs who should be murdered and that kuffaars (non-Muslims) are liars. Moderate preachers tell the faithful that women are “deficient” and pre-pubescent young girls can be married off to older men.


surely this is much more important than what some silly girls have to say about an actress?

I've had a few but one that stands out was from a few years ago. I was walking through the San Juan mountains with my dog and my partner. At one point I stopped to tie my boot and they got ahead of me and out of sight. A hermit thrush began singing and it seemed as though time stopped for a moment and everything became totaly clear in my mind and the entire universe made sense for that instant.

Anyone else have moments like that?

scientist at harvard have been studying the realm of the quantum world and have determined through quantum mechanics it is controlled through the very act of observing " dual slit experiment " atoms act like particles instead of waves just by observing them in a conscience way, also quantum entanglement proves how everybody and everything is connected to one thing or source, this is when they started the Global Consciousness Project and proved without a doubt that the very act of being conscious can have an impact on society through either negative energy or positive energy of the consciousness as a whole

A god that would create a people and then declare that if you don't love him he will place you in some kind of hell to suffer for all eternity does not seem to be all loving. Sounds more like an ego problem to me.
