But during the time period when Jesus lived, such “spring ice” may have formed once every 30 to 60 years. Such floating ice in the unfrozen waters of the lake would be hard to spot, especially if rain had smoothed its surface. "In today's climate, the chance of springs ice forming in northern Israel is effectively zero, or about once in more than 10,000 years," Nof said. The findings are detailed in the April 2006 Journal of Paleolimnology. 2. "fara tata pamintean" - exraterestru? An Irish Blessing
May you always have... A sunbeam to warm you, Good luck to charm you, And a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, Faithful friends near you, And whenever you pray... Heaven to hear you. Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses. Count your joys instead of your woes; Count your friends instead of your foes. Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears. Count your full years instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. Count your health instead of your wealth; Love your neighbour as much as yourself. May there always be work for your hands to do; May your Purse always hold a coin or two; May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. Hills as green as emeralds Cover the countryside Lakes as blue as sapphires- And Ireland's special pride And rivers that shine like silver Make Ireland look so fair- But the friendliness of her people Is the richest treasure there. When the first light of sun- Bless you When the long day is done- Bless you In your smiles and your tears- Bless you Through each day of your years- Bless you. And I'm not going back into rags or in the hole

(la: SUFLETUL OMULUI - Ce-i aia?...) Draga medina,
ma asteptam ca cineva sa vina cu astfel de raspuns,era inevitabil!Este ceva natural sa gindesti asa cind viata o traiesti in total dualism....bine-rau,urit-frumos,curat-murdar,onest-mincinos,cald-rece etc etc. Marele intelept Dalai Lama a spus cindva:"Problema cea mare prin care trece omenirea este ca vede totul ori in alb ori in negru,nu realizeaza ca exista si un gri la mijloc."Poate ai dori sa-l critici si pe el?Eu cred ca are dreptate. De ce am spus ca doar Dumnezeu exista?De ce nu am spus ca implicit ar trebui sa fie si ...opusul Lui? Omenirea si religiile au trebuit sa inventeze un opus al binelui pt. a justifica ororile lumii in orice forme ale ei si atunci a aparut Mr. Satan,ori Lucifer ori Dracul ori Schamael,si mitul raului s-a creat,vinovatul a fost gasit si f. usor acum s-au "descoperit" vinovati eretici si vrajitoare in Salem buni de pus la prajeala ori torturi,si preoti exorcisti etc. etc. In dualismul vietii trebuie,nu sa existe si Necuratu",dar am o surpriza pt. tine: Ce-ai zice de faptul ca imi mentin teoria mea si spun ca Satan NU exista nici ca ...forma si nici ca spirit? Ca de fapt doar Dumnezeu exista si am sa vin si cu argumente pt. a-mi apara teoria,desigur ca din nou vor stirni discutii si iar voi fi pus la zid dar sint obisnuit cu astea,numai sa nu ma luati la pietre. In primul rind,esti de acord ca toata creatia apartine Lui Dumnezeu pt. ca El insusi este creatia toata? Daca da atunci NU IL limita si-l plasa doar de o parte a ei adica ceea ce consideri tu ca este virtuos si moral si etic este Dumnezeu si ce-i urit si meschin si vulgar este...Diavolul!Dintr-o data Il minimalizezi ca existenta pt. ca in adevar Dumnezeu este dincolo de dualismul vietii. Vezi totul subiectiv si ca tine din pacate marea majoritate.Daca admiri un trandafir si te incinta culoarea petalelor si parfumul lui,afla ca Dumnezeu NU e doar in acele petale dar si in spinii lui. Ori indragesti un animal si ai grija de el esti atasata de el,de ce te uiti atunci cu scirba la un sobolan?si el este parte din aceiasi creatie si chiar si in el exista un suflet si este expresia vietii Lui Dumnezeu prin el. De ce spun ca doar Dumnezeu exista?Pt. ca exista NUMAI BINE in creatie dar in diverse GRADE.Aici este problema din care se nasc contradictiile umane! Cel mai mic grad de BINE(daca am gindi intre1-10)este ceea ce am numi "RAUL''.,si STIU CA ESTE EXTREM DE GREU DE ACCEPTAT ca de ex. si un mare criminal in fapt nu este rau ci are in el si un % de bine care de fapt e la baza existentei lui....parca vad deja o piatra aruncata spre mine acum! E greu de acceptat ca oameni ca Hitler,Stalin,Ceausescu,Mao,Bush,in esenta sufletului lor au fost sau sint buni,dar in cel mai mic grad posibil. Am mai scris ca nu poti intelege creatia si pe Dumnezeu fara a nu crede in conceptul de reincarnare si Karma,stau la baza ei,Buddha a numit-o "roata vietii eterne"de unde si simbolul Buddhist ca religie si credinta. Oare chiar crezi ca Buddha a nascocit adevarul din senin? Ori hai sa fim si mai ortodocsi,crezi ca Jesus a rostit invataturile Lui aiurea ca si cum le-ar fi visat si apoi spus discipolilor Lui basme sa-i puna la culcare? Acesti avatari au avut in ei ADEVARUL si l-au si rostit pina in ultima clipa. "Iarta-i Domne caci nu stiu ce fac",Jesus a iertat in stinga si dreapta chiar pe proprii LUi ucigasi,pt. ca a stiut ca NU sint RAI si nici posedati de vreun Satan! Chiar si pe Judas stiind ca el l-a tradat!Oare nu am invatat inca nimic de la Dumnezeu nici pina in ziua de azi?Daca INSUSI DUMNEZEU(Caci Jesus a fost Dumnezeu in carne si oase nu fiul Lui!)iarta si vede in jurul Lui numai BINELE ce te face sa reinventezi un personaj ca Lucifer ce nu exista de fel? Pt. ca vezi TOTUL ori in ALB ori in NEGRU!!!!Dalai Lama are dreptate. A te purifica in suflet si ajunge treptat de la gradul de 1 ca bine la 10 iti trebuie sute de mii de vieti prin care ai trecut deja si in functie de nivelul la care ai ajuns in cea prezenta de rafinare spirituala depinde prin cite vei mai avea de trecut.NU uita ca si Jesus a vorbit la vremea LUi despre reincarnare! Si clericul din pacate(pt. ei si ...eforturile lor de a ascunde acest adevar,din punctul lor de vedere!)a incercat sa schimbe ici si colo pasaje din noul testament,dar ar fi insemnat sa fi ramas doar citeva pagini despre Jesus daca cenzurau totul! Biserica trebuia sa scoata din Biblie reincarnarea,ceva politic si de putere. Ce-ar fi insemnat daca lumea crestina ar fi crezut ca exista?Ar fi zis cam asa: "Ce nevoie am de biserica?daca am gresit cu ceva in viata asta ma repar eu in cealalta."NU,credinciosii trebuiau sa STIE ca au de trait doar o singura viata si au de ales intre...rai si iad,si aici au venit cu tot felul de pedepse in iad si suflete pierdute etc.etc.Mai tirziu,catolicii au trebuit sa inventeze si purgatoriul,ceva de mijloc,adica ai putea avea o sansa DACA vei dona bani bisericii pt. absolvirea pacatelor,deci iti poti rascumpara greselile si vei ajunge in rai....apoi contrar bisericii au aparut asa zisii"soul eaters",un fel de mercenari care spuneau ca au darul de a lua asupra lor pacatele altora(de obicei ...f.bogati!)si le pot asigura intrarea in rai fara acordul...bisericii.Evident,biserica s-a pus pe urmarirea lor pt. a-i extermina. In fapt biserica mai ales cea catolica a facut o gramada de acte ilegale pina la crime.In rest,bigotrie,minciuna si diverse politici ce n-au de-a face cu credinta in Dumnezeu. Eu zic ca inainte de a trage o concluzie ar fi bine sa cauti raspunsuri sa te intrebi de unde vii si unde te duci,sint primii pasi spre o adevarata spiritualitate,decit sa crezi mecanic in ceva ce inca nu cunosti decit in mod papagalic.Nu te limita doar la ortodocsism sau catolicism etc. sint multe alte credinte de la care poti invata f. multe ,sufletul tau vrea sa stie,nu-l incarcera lasa-l sa exploreze sa se cunoasca pe sine prin tine. Toate au acelasi numitor comun in esenta,dar fereste-te de dogma,este un drum incuiat si fara sa vrei devii cu ochelari de cal si ar fi pacat. Dar fiecare cu karma lui-ei,si cu destinul lui-ei,nu poti schimba peste noapte o ideologie.Daca asa crezi e dreptul tau,in alta viata urmatore vei gindi total altfel,dar nu-ti vei mai aminti de cea de azi.Vei fi o alta persoana,dar in tine va fi mereu acelasi suflet de milenii. Imi dau seama ca ce am scris e greu de acceptat de multi,dar nu pot decit sa -mi expun si eu parerile mele personale si credinta mea,si nu vad nimic rau in asta. Nu sintem nimeni real perfecti,cei care sint in lumea toata ii numeri pe degete si de fapt nici nu stii ca exista,pt. ca duc o viata de total anonimat si cu toate astea EI sint cei care conduc universul tot in lipsa avatarului. Vor fi mereu 5 la numar si cind se vor reincarna la vremea avatarica(ciclul avataric este de 700-1400 ani),ei vor aduce spiritul Lui Dumnezeu intr-o forma umana aleasa de ei.Apoi rolul lor va fi preluat de Avatar in intregime. Despre astea poate altadata. LOVE&PEACE, Ozzy Ps: Daca esti interesata,iti recomand sa citesti cartile despre mituri si religii scrise de un f. mare erudit si cel mai mare expert in istoria religiilor si miturilor din lume,de necontestat cel mai mare!JOSEPH CAMPBELL.Vei descoperi totul in ele si la fel vei invata f. multe,raspunsuri la orice fel de intrebari ai avea. La fel citeste autobiografia lui Dalai Lama. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Viata omului este ca o mare oglinda sparta in milioane de cioburi.Se vede in fiecare din ele drept altcineva,de fapt se vede pe sine insusi fiind acelasi suflet etern".

the Passion of the Christ de Mel Gibson: O marturie de credinta

(la: Filmul "The Passion of the Christ" si antisemitismul) the Passion of the Christ de Mel Gibson: O marturie de credinta
Pr. Claudiu Bãrbut Pe data de 15 martie 2004, actorul Jim Caviezel, care a avut rolul principal în filmului The Passion of the Christ a lui Mel Gibson, a fost primit de cãtre Sfântul Parinte. Seara, actorul a dorit sã prezinte el insuºi filmul intregii Curii Romane prezente in aula amfiteatrului Regina Apostolorum al Ateneului Pontifical. Am avut marea ocazie sã vãd acest film în avanpremierã ºi sã stau de vorbã cu actorul Jim Caviezel la sfârºitul proiecþiei. A fost o experienþa extraordinarã pe care aº dori s-o împãrtãºesc în aceste câteva rânduri. Jim Caviezel: “Interpretarea rolului lui Isus m-a ajutat sa-L cunosc mai bine pe Mantuitorul” “Nu m-am gandit niciodata de ce, cand eram mic, imi placea mult sportul, in mod special baschetul. Am crezut, pana nu de mult, ca voi ajunge un bun atlel. Cand eram adolescent, in perioada cautarilor, m-am dus la tatal meu si i-am spus: 'Cred ca Domnul ma chiama sa fac un lucru deosebit in viata, insa nu descopar inca ce anume trebuie sa fac. Simt ca ma chiama, insa nu stiu in ce directie sa merg'. Tatal meu mi-a raspuns: 'Poate te chiama sa fii preot'. Anii care au urmat nu au confirmat cuvintele tatalui meu, insa crescand, parintii m-au ajutat sa descopar - in Biserica Romano-Catolica - darul credintei in Isus. Cu anii am descoperit ºi calitati proprii, in mod special talentul de a intepreta. Am inceput sa ma pregatesc pentru a fi actor, totul mergea fantastic, am crescut din toate punctele de vede si am ajuns la Hollywood unde...reputatie, faima si glorie (pamanteasca). Intr-o zi primesc un telefon de la managerul lui Mel Gibson: 'Sunteti cautat de Gibson pentru a interpreta un rol in care este esential sa stiti sa faceti Surf '. Am acceptat si m-am intalnit cu Mel Gibson…In primele minute regizorul mi-a vorbit despre surf si apoi m-a întrebat daca eu cred in Dumnezeu si ce cred eu despre Patimirea lui Cristos. Imediat mi-am dat seama ca surf-ul nu avea nici o legatura. Era numai un motiv. I-am raspuns: Vrei sa fac rolul lui Isus? El nu mi-a spus nimic si mi-a lasat timp de gandire pana a doua zi. Primesc un telefon a doua zi de la el. 'Cine e?' 'Mel', raspunde. 'Mel si mai cum?' intreb. 'Mel...Cross'. 'In acest caz eu sunt Isus Cristos', am raspuns. Mel a inceput sa-mi spuna ca acest rol este dificil, incomod, ca imi pot ruina cariera de actor, ca o sa fiu luat in ras de colegii mei actori de la Hollywood. A incercat sa ma convinga sa nu accept acest rol, însa am decis contrariul. Astfel am descoperit ca sporturile pe care le-am facut, evolutia pe care am avut-o din punct de vedere uman si artistic au avut un anume scop: acela de a putea interpreta acest rol crucial din viata mea. Nu a fost usor: chiar din punct de vedere fizic a fost un rol extenuant. Mi-am amintit ca Mel imi povestea ca a avut momente dificile in viata, odata ajungand chiar in pragul sinuciderii, insa credinta in Isus l-a salvat. Atunci a promis Domnului ca va face un film pentru ca el, si poate si altii de langa el, sa poata pretui marele dar al Mantuirii.” Experienta personala de intalnire cu Jim Caviezel - Acest film te-a ajutat sa cresti in credinta? l-am intrebat la sfarsitul filmului pe Jim Caviezel. Iata ce mi-a raspuns: -Da, si cred ca foarte mult. Am avut o ocazie privilegiata de a ma apropia de cuvantul lui Isus, de a avea o comuniune speciala cu El. Cand am inceput filmarile mi-am dat seama ca fiecare minut insemna o noua sansa de a ma apropia de Mantuitorul. Am inceput sa studiez latina si aramaica. Nu eram pregatit si stiam ca am nevoie de ajutorul Sau ca sa-l pot face cunoscut. Prietenii mei preoti m-au ajutat sa inteleg si sa ma rog. Stiam ca nu as fi putut sa intereptez acest rol fara ajutorul lui Isus si al Mamei sale Sfinte. Intrarea in comuniune cu Dumnezeu m-a ajutat sa trec bariere umane pe care nu credeam ca sunt capabil sa le depasesc: frigul pana la congelare, biciurea si oboseala fizica pana la extenuare. In zilele in care am filmat momentul crucificarii, a trebuit sa raman pe cruce ore intregi. Datorita frigului si a pozitiei, nu eram capabil sa mananc. Au fost zile in care m-am hranit numai cu Trupul Domnului, dimineata, la Sfanta Liturghie. I-am cerut in acele momente, precum si in toate zilele cat au durat filmarile, sa ma ajute sa-l comunic lumii pe El si nu pe mine ca protagonist - Astazi a fost o zi speciala pentru tine? - Absolut. Dimineata am avut marea onoare de a-l intalni pe Sfantul Parinte si de a-i multumi pentru tot ceea ce face. I-am marturisit ca pentru mine el a fost un model de curaj care mi-a dat forta in momentele dificile. Ma aflu in acesta aula in fata multor cardinali, episcopi, preoti si surori si sunt emotionat. Va multumesc pentru tot ceea ce faceti, pentru ca v-ati oferit viata Domnului, pentru marturia voastra de credinta. Voi sunteti eroii mei si veti ramane astfel pentru totdeauna in sufletul meu. Rugati-va pentru mine. Filmul In timp ce Jim Caviezel urca scarile amfiteatrului, pe ecranul panoramic incepea proiectia filmului. Umbra actorului proiectata pe ecran disparea cu fiecare treapta urcata, pentru a da spatiu unicului portagonist al acestui film: Isus Cristos. Muzica, atmosfera apasatoare, imaginea Mantuitorului, suferinta de pe fata sa ne-a proiectat in cateva secunde in realitatea din Getsemani. Ritmul imaginilor, putinele cuvintel rostite in limba aramaica ne-a predispus spre o profunda meditatie. Fiecare detaliu devine un element important in realizarea simfoniei Mantuirii, stiind bine noi toti ca ultima parte a acestei simfonii nu este Crucea si Invierea. Toate personajele traiesc momentul patimii intr-o continua tensiune care se dovedeste a fi benefica pentru unii, iar pentru altii un cosmar. Maria,intepretata de actrita romanca de origine evreiasca Maia Morgenstern, este tot timpul alaturi de fiul sau pe drumul Clavarului. Ea reprezinta imaginea durerii dar si a bucuriei de a fi mama. Gesturile sublime si pline de gingasie din copilaria si adolescenta lui Isus cristalizeaza dragostea de mama si forta credintei. Imi amintesc cu placere de cuvintele lui Jim Caviezel care, afland ca sunt un preot din Romania mi-a spus: “Maia Morgenstein este si ea romanca. O femeie extraodinara si o actrita deosebita. A fost pentru mine un privilegiu s-o cunosc si sa pot interpreta Patimirea lui Isus langa o persoana din poporul lui Isus, dar dintr-o cultura a Europei rasaritene. A interpretat rolul Mariei sublim.” Maria Magdalena, intepretata de Monica Belluci, participa alaturi de Mama lui Isus la drama Calvarului. Titlul filmului ne arata intentia autorului de a se concentra mai mult asupra Patimirii, asupra misterului Mantutirii noastre prin cruce, insa mesajul este clar: acela al vietii si sperantei. Sangele preotios a lui Cristos varsat in curtea lui Pontiu Pilat la biciure, pe drumul Clavarului ºi pe Cruce este pretul mantuirii noastre. Giulgiul in care era infasurat Mantuitorul se goleste si trupul sau se ridica de la pamant pentru a lua locul la drepta Tatalui. Iar fetele tuturor celor care au sperat in El se insenineaza, se umplu de lumina, de pace si de viata. Concluzie The Passion of the Christ vizionat cu ochii credintei te patrunde in profundul sufletului, te face sa constientizezi marele dar al mantuirii dat noua prin Cristos, stimulandu-te sa meditezi asupra vietii tale, asupra lucrurilor realizate pana acum si a celor pe care trebuie sa le infaptuiesti, in lumina marelui dar al credintei primite la botez. Este o ocazie care ni se ofera si prin care noi putem sa ne apropiem mai mult de realitatea credintei noastre, ocazie la care noi putem sa raspundem cu un act de credinta, facand viata nostra asemeni cu cea a lui Cristos.

Poate aceste cuvinte iti vor spune ceva,poate nu,poate nu a venit timpul sa intelegi,dar candva vei intelege: "Uita-te la mine-sunt sarac si gol,dar sunt un Chief of a nation.Noi nu vrem bogatii,vrem doar sa ne crestem copii sa fie pe drumul cel drept in viata.Bogatiile,banii sunt doar hartii pictate fara valoare pentru noi,ei nu spun nimic,nu-i luam cu noi pe lumea cealalta.Ceea ce vrem este doar peace and love."

Am gandit in acest weekend trecut sa mai stau o vreme cu voi toti si sa mai fumam putin tobacco,dar am incalcat legea.Legea noastra.Peste acest weekend trecut am gandit ca mai pot ramane dar nu o pot face, azi si ieri am scris ultimele texte si ...Destin-ul a ales pe tine sa fii ultimul care va primi ultimul meu text,e scris asa si este menit sa fie asa,the eagle flies free my brother,you can't stop his wings... Azi ,si este noapte cu stele,ele mi-au vorbit,a fost vant putin si cateva picaturi de ploaie,am stat in gradina si gandit la Marele Spirit,mi-a vorbit si am plans din nou,lacrimi si picaturi de ploaie pe obrajii mei. Mi-a spus prin Creatia toata ca trebuie sa plec si tu esti ultimul WARRIOR care va purta cuvantul LUI prin mine. Imi pare sincer rau,toti din cercul cafenelei imi sunteti mai mult decat dragi,NU va imaginati nici in vise cat de mult va iubesc pe toti deopotriva,imi sunteti frati si surori si mereu ma voi gandi cu dragoste la voi toti. M-ati injurat,m-ati indragit,ori m-ati considerat un excentric,cine sunt eu sa trag concluzii?Ceea ce stiu e ca va iubesc si voi fi in spirit mereu cu voi. O spun cu sinceritate,si tie draga Frate iti multumesc din suflet pentru cuvintele tale. A venit timpul sa plec,va iubesc mult si veti fi mereu cu mine in inima,spirit si suflet.Si asta e ,fiti siguri,o certitudine. Multumesc Daniel pentru tot si la fel Admin.Niciodata nu am fost impotriva voastra si a nimanui,fiti bravi in viata si sa stiti ca fara sa cunoasteti cu totii,fiecare din voi are in par pene de pace si razboi,este legea. Wakan Tanka este cu voi in voi si in jurul vostru,NU sunteti separati de EL. Nu esti idealist si visator daca vei crede in dragoste,iubire si pace.Vei intelege sa devii intelept si sa te vezi pe tine in oricine si in toata Creatia. Imaginati-va ca Bufallow Cow Woman(Creatia toata)este cea mai frumoasa femeie de pe glob!Oare nu veti fi indragostiti de ea?Oare nu vreti s-o protejati si s-o iubiti,sa o aparati chiar sfidand moartea?

(la: Pedeapsa capitala sau inchisoare pe viata?) Dragul meu frate,
Te rog sa citesti textul meu la subiectul"Darul Magicianului"de Ovidiu Bufnila,la fel cred ca-mi cunosti parerea cand cu timp in urma am scris textul"Guns'n Roses". Daca ar fi fost pe vremuri mai acum 300-400 ani as fi luat pistolul sau arcul cu sageti si omorat pe loc pe oricine ar fi facut un mare rau familiei sau poporului meu,nu inainte de a lua scalpuri multe! Nu uita ca indienii sunt un popor al pacii,nu omoara decat pt. a se apara si nu pe ei in primul rand,ci familia lor si natia lor. Desigur ca au existat triburi f. dure si in special cele din nordul statului NY si in sud-estul coastei Atlanticului,mai ales Huronii(din tribul Mohawk-Iroquois). care erau considerati de alte triburi drept Renegades pt. ca erau de partea albilor,francezi sau englezi,in filmul"The Last of the Mohicans"acei indieni rai erau Huroni. Azi insa traim alte zile.Parerea mea la intrebarile si subiectul tau este ca sunt pt. pedeapsa capitala,s-au facut si se fac multe greseli insa,si multi nevinovati au fost omorati degeaba! Trebuie sa fim siguri cu certitudine ca acea persoana este real cea vinovata. As opta pt. legea de omerta,adica felul sigur si simplu de justitie in stil Cosa Nostra. La fel faceau si indienii.Si ai dreptate,cei care omoara copii si batrani sunt lasi si trebuie sa plateasca.In 1890 a fost masacrul de la Wounded Knee si am scris despre el traducand exact cuvintele marelui Chief Black Elk care a luptat impotriva armatei ce pur si simplu a ucis fara distinctie,copii,femei si batrani,au violat fetele si taiat gaturile la copilasi de tita!!! Ce ai fi facut tu,fiind sotul unei femei violata si ucisa si ti-ai vedea copilasul cu gatul taiat? Iti spun eu:ti-ai fi pictat trupul in culori de razboi,ai fi luat winchester-ul sau arcul cu sageti si tomahawk-ul,ai fi pus pumnalul intre dinti si ai ucide pe orice soldat in calea ta fara teama de moarte! Si asa a fost,Black Elk a condus 100 de razboinici impotriva a peste 500 soldati si cavalerie.I-au omorat pe toti. Este greu sa aplici legea azi,dar si in trecut de multe ori a fost nedreapta. Te rog sa vezi un film clasic cu Henry Fonda din 1946"The Ox-Bow incident" in care o posse,grup de cetateni ai unui oras se aduna cam 20 la numar sa prinda 3 hoti si criminali si sa-i spanzure pe loc.Anthony Quinn e in film de asemenea. Ce se intimpla?Dau peste 3 cowboys si cred ca ei sunt hotii...dar acestia sunt nevinovati si din pacate doar 7 din cei 20 cred ca nu sunt hotii pe care-i cautau,dar numarul mare al celor ce-i cred vinovati e mare si ii spinzura!!! La plecarea lor dupa ce acesti 3 au murit apare in calea lor seriful orasului si le spune ca nu ei erau cei 3 criminali si hoti ....ca au omorat 3 oameni nevinovati! Asta e povestea pe scurt si morala ei,sa vezi totusi filmul,e desigur f. bine jucat. Astea am avut de spus in cercul nostru.Daca esti dovedit vinovat,trebuie sa platesti,dar sa fim atenti cu cei care nu sunt si credem ca ar fi. Love&peace, Ozzy(Little Eagle Who Cries)

for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short. Let he who hath understanding and reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number it's number is six hundred and sixty six. I left alone,my mind was blank I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind, what did I see can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy. Just what I saw in my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me, 'cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair. The night was black,was no use holding back 'cos I just had to see was someone watching me in the mist dark figures move and twist was all this for real or some kind of hell... 666 the number of the beast hell and fire was spawned to be released torches blazed and sacred chants were praised as they start to cry hands held to the sky. In the night the fires are burning bright the ritual has begun ,Satan's work is done 666 the number of the beast sacrifice is going on tonight. This can't go on,I must inform the law can this still be real or some crazy dream but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes... 666 the number of the beast 666 the one for you and me I'm coming back I will return and I'll posses your body and I'll make you burn, I have the fire,I have the force, I have the power to make evil take its course..."

N-am intentionat sa jignesc pe nimeni si nu stiam ca "jidan" e un termen insultator; daca e imi cer scuze. Cum s-ar traduce atunci? --- ca n-am un dictionar englez-roman la indemina.
Dupa cite stiu eu: hebrew = evreu
israeli = israelian
jew = ? (eu credeam jidan---corectati-ma)
jewish = de religie ?

Orig. a Hebrew of the kingdom of Judah, as opposed to those of the ten tribes
of Israel; later, any Israelite who adhered to the worship of Jehovah as
conducted at Jerusalem. Applied comparatively rarely to the ancient nation
before the exile (cf. HEBREW sb. 1), but the commonest name for contemporary
or modern representatives of this group, now spread throughout the world. The
word `Jew' is also applied to groups, e.g. the Falashas in Ethiopia, not
ethnically related to persons of the main European groups, the Ashkenazim and
the Sephardim.

defect that the defined word is included in adjectival form in the definition.
The same flaw occurs in part of the new definition enacted by the Israeli
Parliament in..1970, according to which a person is a Jew if he or she is the
offspring of a Jewish mother or has been converted to the Jewish faith by the
Orthodox Rabbinate or by the Rabbis of the Jewish Reform Movement or by the
Rabbis of the Jewish Conservative Movement.

In medieval England, Jews, though engaged in many pursuits, were particularly
familiar as money-lenders, their activities being publicly regulated for them
by the Crown, whose proteges they were. In private, Christians also practised
money-lending, though forbidden to do so by Canon Law. Thus the name of Jew
came to be associated in the popular mind with usury and any extortionate
practices that might be supposed to accompany it, and gained an opprobrious
sense.
