Another Documentary
Unborn in the USA: Inside the War on Abortion Interesting. It left me a little pissed off, though... Those signs on the street were highly inappropriate and grossly ineffective. Not to mention how mad I would be if I were driving down that road with my kids and happened to drive by them - no children need to see this sort of thing. I remember in 8th grade home-ec they showed an anti-abortion film and one girl threw up. I remember thinking how inappropriate it was for the school to be showing this film to us - especially without our parents knowledge... I could go on and on about my opinions here, but I'm not really in the mood lol. I'm pro-choice, but I don't support the dissemination of images of mutilated babies to the general population.

Forgiving Dr. Mengele - CANDLES Museum (Terre Haute, IN) owner and her message of forgiveness

More Documentaries...
(I'm a documentary junkie... But here are more for you, Dorothy - I will test you on all these at my bday party!!!)
Since I'm up Anyway...
Dorothy wanted to know of some places she could watch some movies online. So here you go! (I will post more as I find them, so don't think this is the only post I'll have with links to documentaries)
Dorothy asked me what a W in a circle with a slash through it meant today and it only took a second before I realized what she was talking about.
Anti Bush
I'm thinking I should add this little gem to my own website, too. :-)
- First, which I've mentioned before, you should watch Sicko! You can find this on YouTube by doing a search for "sicko sottotitoli". It's in 10 parts approx 10 min each. (If you can't find it, tell me I'll email it to you)

Zeitgeist - The Movie
Undoubtedly controversial, (and unnecessarily lengthy at times) this anonymous documentary is worth viewing...
Its in three parts, and I will warn you - WARN YOU - that the first part is about religion and will offend some people. It points out the similarities between Christianity and previous pagan "sun god" religions, especially the Egyptian god Horus. Its very interesting, but don't get mad at ME if you watch if and get upset lol! The second part is a 9/11 "conspiracy theory". There are a few out there, and they are very compelling and its scary what we DON'T know, even if everything the theories say aren't true. The last part is about our banking system, war, and education - the last part is pretty scary.
I'm not saying that I blindly believe everything given in an anonymous documentary, but this does have some valid points and does make you think about some things maybe you haven't thought of before...
Zeitgeist - The Movie
It is about 2 hours long, but it goes pretty fast.
Oh yeah, and by the way, now I wanna move away from society and live on a compound, away from all government, money, etc, and be self-sufficient in every way lol...

Rumspringa
Today I watched The Devil's Playground a documentary about Amish kids and Rumspringa, which is where at the age of 16 they can live outside the Amish rules like "normal English" kids. They date (unchaperoned), watch movies, drink, get high, drive, smoke, cuss, go to concerts, dress in "English" clothes, etc. Then somewhere between 16 and 21 (normally) they either decide to commit to the church for life (with no judgment for things they did during Rumspringa), or leave for good.
One of the Amish men interviewed said that they DID have the same problems that the "English" did, i.e. unwed mothers, addiction, alcoholism, etc. when the kids return from Rumspringa, but if the person decides to come back and give up all those things and commit totally to the rules of the church, its all looked over by the church.
I watched a mini-documentary about this film a few years ago on 48hrs or something and had always wanted to see it. You know, I really kind of like the idea of Rumspringa (which translated means "running around"). It really gives the kids a chance to go wild and experience things they normally wouldn't have a chance to. They have a chance to see "how the other side lives" without persecution from the people around them (usually) and without judgment. This really gives them a chance to decide how they want to live, not just accepting what they've been taught without question or personal experience. It lets them decide for themselves, which is seriously important imho...
