Watching Broken Arrow, goddamn the 90s was weird. Also, I really want to sit in a B2.

Shame it turned out to be the high-water mark of John Woo's English-language career. Current even: now I want to watch Hard Boiled and The Killer again.

He was pulled from a burning vehicle and afterward, supposedly, they couldn't figure out how anyone opened his door. Ergo, Jesus. After a couple questions from the student body about how this changed his life (jesus), someone was like "what about all the people that die" and then it was classic "we're out of time, back to class" mode. Like, gently caress, I'm not a believer and I can crank that out.

Oh, also this wasn't the school, but a friend of mine got a dumb bacterial infection and died as a teen. He was very much not religious. About half of his closest friends were. They fabricated a story about how right before dying he popped out of his coma and accepted Jesus into his heart and then they saw his spirit go to heaven. Even his religious mother was mad about that one.

Tell her to start praying for you to hit the powerball, then badger her every week about why Jesus hasn't followed through.

Did Hard Boiled ever get a proper bluray release? I kinda remember some re-release that looked worse than the original VHS print. Also the only thing my school ever did was lose 10% of a graduating class to opioid overdoses, wooo Appalachia

We're at 2 that I know of. 1 if you don't count the guy who decided to eat a bullet between sophmore and junior year. The other one died giving birth a couple years ago. I didn't think that really happened in the first world anymore.

I didn't think that really happened in the first world anymore. Yeah there's been a few of those here. It's almost as if a lack of medical health care in a poverty stricken area that would sooner put up more mega churches than a clinic is bad for you. But I guess everyone just needs to pray that much harder for those still alive. Oxy is still the biggest killer so far, though we've had a fair amount of suicides, genuine accidents, accidents that could've been avoided had people thought about what they were doing for more than three seconds and not launched an ATV down a hill to git 'er dud or whatever the gently caress.

That's like the way the Mormons posthumously baptized a bunch of Jews (I think this may have also been all 6 million murdered in the Holocaust), plus Hitler, Joan of Arc, the US founding fathers, multiple popes, Christopher Columbus, Stalin, and Siddhartha "The Buddha" Gautama.

At least they aren't lying. They just baptize souls posthumously. Making up a story of waking up, accepting jesus, then a visible soul going to heaven is loving weird. Especially when his Lutheran mother (they don't buy that poo poo), and several non-believe friends were in the room and got to hear them all kind of make up this story to tell at school in the corner minutes after he flatlined.

I don't know any Mormons, so I might be wrong about this, but I thought posthumous baptism wasn't even an automatic conversion. Something more like doing the ceremony offers a soul the chance to convert after death.

So, while the police department is hands-off, the Sheriff (an elected official) is going all in.  Yikes. Edited for clarity/screenshot. And to show off Sheriff Whittington's glorious visage, which he attached to his post. Arc Light fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Between my Senior year of HS and Soph year of college I lost 9 out of 68 people in my class. All but one to drunk driving accidents. This isn't including the 4 in my class that died my Soph year of HS and one other my Jr year.

If Smith thinks Stalin is bad, Smith needs to be reminded to forgive him 7X70 times. If Smith thinks Stalin is good, he's in good company because the early church was not only full communism (Read Acts 4:34b-35 again) but murdered capitalist holdouts to boot. milk milk lemonade posted:How the gently caress do you know how many people died in your high school class.

No poo poo. The only thing along those lines that I remember is one of the weird goth kids going to prison for murder after he deliberately hung his friend and watched him die.

My high school had an ex-skinhead talk about neo-Nazis and how they sucked and were evil (this was in like 1999 or so, goddamn he turned out to be prescient). In junior high we watched a film where a good ol' boy toxicologist explained exactly what happens to your body when you OD.

Had a kid in my class get creamed by a truck on the first day as a freshman in a completely brand new high school. Also the valedictorian rolled her jeep and died about a week after graduation. Nice little bookends for my high school class. Wasnt a student but in my senior year there was a teacher who had a heart attack and died outside the nurses office after playing basketball with some of the other teachers before class.

In junior high school, we had a lady who lost her son to drugs. Specifically, he smoked a joint provided by his babysitter and began a short but destructive spiral into inhalants and then crack, and then he ded. This lady had an admittedly effective technique where she would seem to lock eyes with someone in the audience while delivering some major point as though she were addressing them and only them. She did it to me when she was talking about how her dumb kid called her while high on Lysol or some dumb poo poo and yelled "MA IM BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL AND IT FEEL GREAT!" Guess my Alien Workshop hat and Smashing Pumpkins ZERO shirt had an effect or something. My most absolutely unforgettable moment of "adults accidentally making a lasting impression on kids" moment came when I was taking a health class as a sophomore in high school. The guy teaching it was one of the football coaches- a nice enough guy but completely unsuited for the task at hand. Someone asked if a woman's vagina would return to normal after childbirth, and he said," Oh, for sure. Hell, you could jam your elbow up in there and it'd be back the same the next day." I've never heard such silence before or since.
