Originally written by Lenar Research Facilites:

Traditionally, the figure in question is believed to be the apostle John (the one who wrote the gospel).
John's practically leaning on Christ comes from a reference in John 13, which literally said that the apostle that Jesus loved (philos, or brotherly love, for those who get the wrong idea) was positioned to lean on Jesus during passover. This is a common theme/setting in many protraits of the last supper. Da Vinci's is simply the most popular.
On a side note, resting on someone's chest was not an uncommon occurance, as the meal would have been consumed while the participants were in a reclining position. Many scholars agree (or at least in the lectures that I've been in) that in order for John to talk to Jesus, it would probably be easiest to simply lean over, planting him in the other's chest.

--------------------
The Silent Assassin went to a seminar today.
His favorite speaker's topic?
"The Lint Brush: little known uses."
Except that no figure is leaning on Jesus in da Vinci's painting.

As far as I can tell, this is the original artwork. There are so many reproductions, though. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The painting of The Last Supper, where it shows Mary Magdalene next to Jesus, ...
Why do you say that the figure to the right of Jesus is Mary Magdalene? It is not the only clean shaven figure, neither are long flowing locks uncommon on the bearded men. There are 12 figures other then Jesus and 12 diciples reported at the Last Supper in the Bible. Common sense says that it is one of the twelve.

Even if it was intended by da Vinci to be Mary, It looks as though the grey guy is being much more 'friendly' to her then Jesus.

I have not read the book or seen the movie. I think it may be interesting to read the book, but all the rotten tomatos for the movie make me not want to watch it.

I've kissed him so many times, it's hard to remember if I've regretted any. I think there were a few times that I tried to kiss him in public and he pushed me away. I don't remember any specific time though. He doesn't like PDA's much. As far as regret goes, it was pretty minor and short lived.

Not kissing someone else, though... sometimes.

If you agree that it is legal for CIA to tape any conversation in the country, it is perfectly legal for somebody like Nixon to tape all conversations of opposition leaders.

If the current wiretap program existed during Nixon's time, Nixon would have had a legal right to point at any person and say "I want to know about all of his conversations". That's essentially what Nixon did during the Watergate.

I am not talking about some evil government conspiracy to repeal the First Amendment. All I am saying is that giving a president this kind of uncontrolled power will make it perfectly legal for him to do everything that Nixon got in trouble for.
Nixon was impeached more as a result of his coverup attempts and what he did with what he learned, then the actual acquisition of information. We have not/are not going to give the government the right to do whatever they want, just the right to be able to learn if they need to do something. If any individual uses the knowledge gained illegially (ie. causing the IRS to conduct biased audits as Nixon did) they should be prosecuted and removed from power.

And to be frank, I'd also argue that you don't care -- because you lead a sad, sick life of submissive subordination and the idea of non-oppressive authority is foreign and hostile to you.
I am very dissapointed that you ignored my most sincere question about your source and knowledge of the military action during 9/11 to instead attack my sick submissive subordinate self. None of which I deny, I am what I am. I was tempted to post in the 'If you were President' thread saying I'd be impeached for trying to become a totalitarian dictator.

Political purposes. Watergate ring a bell?

EDIT: Whoops! A little late on this one. Still though, Jewels, I think you need to seriously consider what you're saying. Say a particular interest group seized power after such authoritarian devices were established in our government. It's not much of a stretch from there before "religious police" or "thought police" a la Iran come into being, and then your very rights as a women could come into question.

The rights we enjoy live and die by how transparent our government is. I don't think it's a coincidence that the current regime is so secretive and the state of foreign and domestic affairs so craptastic for everyone except the wealthiest 1%. Don't be surprised if you see even Republican congressmen start to balk at these measures.
Yes, yes, watergate. Nasty stuff that. And the wrongdoers were kicked out of office for it, since it wasn't really the 'government' doing illegal activities, just individuals who happened to hold government office breaking the law.

If by 'not much of a stretch' you mean the repeal of the first ammendment. Then sure, I can agree with that. I see that very likely to happen in the forseeable future. :rolleyes:

Individuals will continue to abuse power, and they will continue to be brought to justice for it. But the chances of the government really turning into a dictatorship are about as good as TM being born again.

Not that I won't keep hopin...

I've had another dream last night with the same theme as the recurring 'no private toilet' ones I mentioned in the last dream topic.

There are lots of people, mostly children, that need a place to sleep. All that is available is a large wooden barn like structure. I am in charge of finding a place for everyone. Once everone is in their 'beds' it's time for me to take a shower, which of course, is in the open along a wall. It's night time and reasonably dark. Most people near me are sleeping and those that aren't can't see much anyway. So I start my shower and carry on conversations with some night owls in the dark. Then a car pulls up outside, it's headlights shining in a window right on me. For a split second I consider screaming and grabbing a towel but I'm not done. I haven't even soaped my hair yet. So instead I finish my shower and my conversations before turning in for bed myself.

Didn't happen that way. In fact, this 'interpretation' of events is particularly sickening - taking the piss out of the bureaucracy for the benefit of the executive branch is a particularly inaccurate portrayal of how things happened on 9/11.
But, of course, it's a portrayal inaccurate in a way that marches perfectly with the fiendish prejudices of U93's target audience, so what can you do.
Well, since you seem to know the facts, what is accurate as far as military action timeline(This is really what I am most interested in) and what is your source?

Surveillance of the citizenry is the first step towards the breakdown of the rule of law. States which routinely practice it also do things like interfering with the personal affairs of opposition figures. The government doesn't like a public gathering you plan to hold? Well, conveniently enough, they just happen to have all of your personal information - bills, mortgage, bank accounts, and, if worse comes to worse, they know when you'll next be on an interstate miles away from the nearest settlement.
I know you conservatives have this weird-ass S&M thing going on with the government, but trust a scholar of history on this one - they ain't got no safe words where we're headed.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't really care. I understand fully that everyone in this country has the right to privacy. If the government tries to abuse that right, they are wrong to do so, but you won't find me at the protest rallies fighting it. Besides, worrying about such conspiracy theories can be hazardous to ones health. Either in unwarrented stress because the government was planning nothing of the sort, or in a government hit because you were causing too much trouble over it. :P

quote:
Has it occurred to you that that is evil, more or less in a nutshell? Even if they had been some kind of fundamentalist Christian crazy instead of some kind of fundamentalist Muslim crazy, they'd still have killed thousands of people to no tangible gain.
Who is to say what is evil? Who is right and who is wrong? I know where I get my plumbline but the same tells me that God works all things out for the good of those who love him. My standpoint isn't that the events of 9/11 were not evil, it is that the terrorists, 'those people', are people just like us with different beliefs, different influences, different causes to fight for, but the same capability for love, compassion, guilt, and shame. I do not believe in their cause, I disagree with their methods, but I can't help but see them for what they are. People doing what they can with the information life has given them. Some may have had malicious, vengful hearts, but some may not have. Who can tell? This really is a molehill, though. I'm not trying to go anywhere with it.

Basic theme of the movie-

It is a chronological pictation of 'what happened when' on United 93, in the Air Traffic Control rooms, in whatever office is in charge of overseeing all airspace flight over the US(and where the order to stop all flights came from), in the news, and in the military command centers in charge of scrambling fighters on the east coast. It ended when U93 crashed.

Of course most of what happened on United 93 is left to the movie producers discression, but there were many real phone calls made from the plane which they based it on.

I would think that everything else that happend on the ground is reasonably accurate and verifiable within 'poetic license'. But I am taking it all with a grain of salt.

**SPOILERS?**
According to the movie, the military attempted to scramble fighters soon after (forgive my memory) the first or second plane hit the towers but were refused clearence by the FFA, they then scrambled their planes anyway in defiance of the order, but the planes took off on a standard scramble coordinate by mistake heading east over the ocean and then had to get clearence to even turn around. It did say that the military were not even notified that U93 was a hijacked plane untill 4 minutes after it crashed.

Of *course* you can trust the current administration, right? Right...
I, in truth, do not care that the government has my phone records. I'm an open person by demeanor, and would probably enjoy being on a show like Big Brother(actually Survivor's more my type). I am not concerned with my privacy and I have nothing to hide anyway. What 'other purposes' should I be worried about?

With 9/11, it's true that a few evil men are responsible for the grievous acts.
At first I was surprised that you agreed that the terrorists were 'evil men'. Then I remembered that you think I'm evil. :P The movie does a beautiful job of portraying the hijackers, not as evil, but as devout men of the Muslim faith. They did not believe they were evil or doing evil, instead they thought they were doing the will of God. It does not make what they did any less horrific, but their motivations, imho, were not as malicious as it seems. Their actions are not that surprising considering they hold to the Old Testament, but not the New. God calling for the death of nations was not unheard of.

After experiencing this powerful movie last night, it got me thinking about how unprepared we were for an attack. Something I thought a little about immediately after 9/11, but seeing the portral of our millitary unable to even get clearence for it's fighter jets to take-off brought it much more to light how bad the situation was. If you have not watched United 93, I give it my recommendation. Even with the violence and bad language (which were part of the reality of the day), imho it is a must see film.

I leave this topic open for comments on the movie, the events of 9/11, respect for the lost, and even some good old Bush bashing which is not far from my sentiment today.

I didn't have a dream that I remembered last night, but just as soon as Corey(3rd and almost 4) woke up he told me that he had a dream about a bad guy that walked on four legs and had a bird. The bird was nice to the four mice, though. The mice were nice too.

Originally written by too long, don't read, too many CRs:

I find myself narrowing in on the question which is the "real personality?"
I would think that the 'real' personality comes out more readily in an online forum, then it does in real life. RL has so many expectations from family and friends and much larger consequences for breaking those expectations. It is much easier to tell a complete stranger, whom you have no obligation to ever talk to again, who you really are. Especially those deep dark secrets that warrent rejection.

Angel and Shiver are our current kitties. We also have a smattering of fish - mostly guppies and swordtails.
