The Divinci Code: Ok. Here it is, my opinion about this Divinci Code thing. Here is the one line version.
'SO???'
Ok. Now to explain.
    I actually watched that 'Breakthrough' minister talk about the facts behind the false statements made by the book/movie. I can sum up with one of his own lines why this entire thing is about as effective as trying to shake hands with someone with no arms. He said, 'The novel and movie are based on a doctrine that was published 100 years after the events it portrayed. Therefore since it was written that long after, it can not be stated as fact nor accurate' Hey, Mr. all knowing minister guy, the bible was written WAY MORE than 100 years after the events it portrays. Does that mean he is saying that the bible is not accurate?
    What I say is this, Who Cares? It is a movie. If people want to take it as a shame against their spirituality, fine. But as I have said about these people till my ears fall off. Stop telling me how I should feel! Things do not offend me the way that people say they are supposed to. I quote Ron Howard (Director of Divinci Code) 'I am not adding a disclaimer. If you are that worried about the film, DONT GO SEE IT!' Way to go Ron! About time someone stood their ground and spoke it like it is. Stop changing everything in the world just because one person is offended. Even if millions are offended, think about everyone before you go changing shit. Here is the example. 'We need to change the film because it offends the Christian/Catholic community' Notice the totalarism (sp?)? It only is concerned with 1 group or people. Now saying something like. 'We might want to think about changing this because it could hurt some peoples feelings and beliefs' But notice here that it doesnt say WE MUST!

     September 11th: A lot of things have been tossed around about this. Well, here is mine.
    I, for myself, weep for the people who died just doing what they do on a day to day basis and I am not underscoring what happened. Yet, as stated, this is an opinion forum. These people at the heart of this act do this because we supposedly are evil according to their religion. I can understand how that can happen as there were times in our history that we have done the same thing. Regardless on that fact, I do not feel, nor have I ever felt that a life is worth proving anything. No matter if you think its right or not. Even if you prove your point, the person is still dead. 80% of people who kill someone, even a cop, feel terrible about it and wonder if there was another way to solve it. That goes along with our racism thing. Just because you don’t like someone, is that a reason to kill them? Come on, what have we come to. Making them see all the people that they have hurt, like the old 'locks'. Remember those? You were publicly put in shame without any way out, and people could piss on you, throw things at you, or whatever they felt worthy. Now theres some good punishment!!

     Distrust in banking: This is some funny stuff. This one blew me away when I heard it. Banks are endorsed by the FDIC and most other federal institutions. The event happened like this. I had a $420.00 check written to me on a check from the bank I went to. Most banks policy is that if the check/account is drawn off their bank, they will cash it. A fee might apply, but they would never deny it. A drivers license is all I have ever had to have. (This gets better). The person at the bank, told me that all I would need is the check and my Drivers License. I brought those items. When I arrived at the bank, they wanted two pieces of id. So, I showed my Social Security Card. I was told it is not an acceptable id. When I asked them why is a federal id not accepted, they told me only a License and a credit card are accepted, due to fraud of social security cards. They even said that the fingerprinting on the check was not enough. Even if they did the fingerprint, they would still need a Credit Card. This was just amusing. Let me see if I remember this. In order to get a credit card, you have to have a Social Security number. So if the SSI number is invalid and yet you get a credit card, the bank doesn’t care, as long as you show it. The only thing a Credit Card proves to me is that someone is covered in the case of a purchase. When do we use credit cards to prove identity? Hey, can I drive my car with just a credit card :) Last time I checked, if you believe someone has a false id, you tell them to wait a moment, contact the police, and have them check it. That’s what most places do. But instead, this bank's policy is not to protect anyone, but to deny service to the most import person, a customer. I fully understand policies of a business, but turning away business to not only customers but to people who have money in your bank, is just stupid. You tell people who put their money in your bank, hey spend it anyway you like, but if you write a check, the person receiving it, is going to produce a blood sample in order to cash it.

     Women, Men and Sex : Oh yeah, get ready for this one. As I grew up, I was always told how glorious sex was from my peers. My parents on the other hand, didn't say hardly anything on the subject. So, I have put together a cute little opinion and it goes like this. Its all the same. Men and women are always wondering about their opposite. Well, here goes a pretty good explanation.
  Women and men want sex the same amount (Scientifically documented). Ever since we were children, we have always been curious about why we are different. Why do we have different locker rooms, bathrooms, and other things? Well, the need for sex is the same. Once kids are told about it, its like 'Oh WOW!' But, somewhere down the road, there is a change. A rather huge one at that. Men want it and will dream about it just by looking at a woman. They don't need prompting or need to size up the target. They will think about that later. Most of the time, it is 'Gee, there is one', 'I wonder what it would be like', and then the thought process kicks in. Women, believe it or not, go thru those same steps, but there are more of them and they need outside opinions. That seems to be the problem. If a man sees it and wants it, there is no other thought. But, if a woman wants it, there are requirements and thoughts on 'how can I get him to do it the way I want', asking the girlfriends 'Gee, what do you think he would be like'. The funniest statement I have heard referencing sex from a man was 'on top, under, whatever, just get it in there'. Gee, wonder if that about sums it up. But with women, it seems to be more of a treasure, something not parted with, a prize. 'Jump thru this hoop, do this for me, and you get your cookie'. Well, that could also be why men seem to have it more than women because there is no requirement. Even if a women is not attractive, a man will try it and deal with the consequences later.
  Here's the funny part. Once a woman has had all of these 'requirements' above met or found someone that just sends her flying, it seems an attempt to catch up and then a reversal happens. The woman will want it non-stop, or as much as possible, and the man becomes bored with the same thing and wants something new. For the woman, if this excitement or magic dies, another must be found who can 'jump thru the hoops'. That is one of the reasons why there is so much before-marriage sex. Men and women want to size up what they have, then get married (Almost like a test drive on a car). Funny how life is. The thing that is the greatest is the couples that have found each other, some thru the above example, and have made sex the non-driving force. Once sex is looked at as only a way to make children, it becomes a non-vital part of a relationship and other things that should have made the relationship, can come to the front. However, one thing that is wrong with sex is that it feels to damn good. Yes, I know, I am a man, but as a famous comedian once said 'There isn't a woman here tonight who wouldn't want a big, stiff, one in them. (Eddie Murphy)' Well, I can only ponder if that's true.
