It's a cold, windy, rainy day here today so I decided to watch a movie. I stumbled upon this. Just finished watching it now. EXCELLENT movie!! Big MiracleInspired by a true story. In small town Alaska, a news reporter recruits his ex-girlfriend - a Greenpeace volunteer - on a campaign to save a family of gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. [ link to www.imdb.com] SO GOOD!!! :s27heart7: Quoting: Simple27 Love that movie! Remember when she (Drew Barrymore) was up here. You might like this it's the original story Operation Breakthrough The true story behind Big Miracle On this page The morning I heard the news What I went through behind the scenes The Greenpeace channel My craziest week The whales were fading A truly joint effort To mark the launch of the movie, Big Miracle starring Drew Barrymore, about the 1988 rescue of grey whales in Alaska, we're publishing this fascinating story by Campbell Plowden. Plowden, then a Greenpeace whales campaigner, describes one of the craziest weeks in his 14 years with Greenpeace, and puts the whale rescue story dramatized the movie Big Miracle in the context of a wider campaign to end whaling worldwide. [ link to www.greenpeace.org] Quoting: AKObserver Just finished reading it. It really is such an incredible story. And they did a great job with the movie! I wanna watch it again right now! I wish it was on Netflix so bad! ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Quoting: whiteangel I've been feeling the same today. It's too bad that movie I posted isn't on Netflix. You would like that movie. Quoting: Simple27 Maybe. It looks a little sappy and not in the mood for anything that pulls too strongly on the heart strings. Too tired, lol. Emotions take a lot of energy, something in major short supply today. Quoting: whiteangel Then you definitely wouldn't want to watch it today. There was one part that made me cry a little. : ) :pandahugs: ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated Got a question for you all. This isn't to pick on you, rather I am just curious as to why, so no offense.
Why do so many people nowadays, use such nasty language all the time? I have seen good Christians, Hebrews and others cuss with the best of them. I have seen small children using words I am appalled at. F is used so often on GLP, you'd think it was candy or alcohol. Even the C word is becoming mainstream and I detest that word.
Can anyone explain this to this old woman??
Quoting: whiteangel Words are merely words. It isn't the words that offensive, but rather the sentiment behind them by those who speak them. The real rub is when they are taken with the same sentiment by those who hear them. Change always begins with ourselves. Quoting: JazzyG Oh, I understand they are only words. I also understand that the Bible saying profanity wasn't about cussing at all and bad words are not actually a sin. I get that. What I don't get it the use of F all the time now. Most don't even realize they are using the word as it has become so common. Some use it on purpose for the exact purpose of offending, while others don't mean a thing by it. The kids here last night, they were trying, really trying but F-bombs were flying. I know, they are older teens and want to be cool but but but....... |

What is the difference between those words and any others? They are what we ALLOW them to be. I could decide that I'm going to make the word frog offensive but until someone else accepts it as such, it still remains just the name of an amphibian. Once those who hear the words stop accepting the distorted meaning, they lose all proposed offense. Love those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

He still at 14 has trouble with R's and L's. We got out of church and the parking lot was full as everyone else was leaving also. A fire truck went by......yup, you know where this is heading. He screams in the loudest voice possible A Fire F*ck!!! A Fire F*ck!!!
I died of embarrassment, right there and then. Quickly looking around, I saw that everyone was laughing, including the pastor. Not one soul was frowning or looking disapprovingly at me or him. They all knew he has special needs and a speech problem. They all knew, that many small children have said this same thing many times for TRUCK is a hard word. My husband, when I looked at him, was bent over with his hands on his knees laughing so hard I thought he was going to cause an aneurism. Brat. He later told me, if I could have seen my flaming red face and horror - I would have been laughing also! |
