RE: WHO ARE THE BEST FILMMAKERS ? SHOULD AFRICAN PEOPLE BE BANNED FROM MAKING FILMS ?

Just a lil note to those who were offended and critisised Gilly... it was a Rhetorical question.... one which he answered in the negative.. he just wanted to provoke critical, and honest discussion.. if u can't do it here.. then where can you do it??

Geez.. it's like 'don't mention the war'... not mentioning the war is not going to erase its negative aspects retrospectively... from reading Gilly's posts it appears that African Cinema.. faces significant challenges (in the real world) in terms of funding and industry respect, despite it relevant and informative content.. this is clearly not a good thing..

RE: Would you quit job, sell car, house, tv and move after someone if you had fallen in LOVE?

Is it really that bad.. or are we just been conditioned to think that... I think you will find statistically that a large portion of people are actually law abiding and reasonably moral..which comes first the chicken or the egg.. has the institution of marriage been eroded by our growing mistrust and determination to self preserve??

Some of these types of thoughts can be self-fulfilling

RE: Would you quit job, sell car, house, tv and move after someone if you had fallen in LOVE?

Its a shame in a way that we have all seemed to lose our innocence/trust... our parents and our grandparents generation would have thrown it all into the pot and taken a chance... and a larger proportion of those marriages lasted...

Shame really.. having said that I wouldn't be reckless about such a choice myself and would want to be really sure.. true love doesn't come along everyday, and not everyone is privelaged enough to have it.. so if it came along.. I wouldn't turn my back on it...

RE: How many times have you been married ?

Sounds like a good plan

RE: HAS ANYBODY GOT ANY SKILLS THAT THEY'RE QUITE PROUD OF ?...AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT ?

Most things creative Gilly.... and I love to sing... I only occasionally do it in front of people (and normally alcohol involved )..

RE: WHO ARE THE BEST FILMMAKERS ? SHOULD AFRICAN PEOPLE BE BANNED FROM MAKING FILMS ?

We need more African Films... film is a good way to get potitical and social messages accross.. artistic freedom.. also being that Africa is such an astoundingly beautiful country it would be a good way for it to exploit its resources in a profitable but non pervasive way...

Ireland has done that to lucrative effect.. introduced tax breaks to filmakers and opened up studios... our film industry has benefited and the economy has benefited....

As to the first part... I love European Cinema (French, Spanish).. Irish Film is getting really hot also

RE: life afer death

RE: life afer death

Good to hear.. because that is the only genuine way to find anything which is even close to the truth... absorbing, digesting and rejecting that which doesn't make sense or resonate

Good luck

RE: life afer death

I don't think so.. not on the basis of the posts.. she is clearly a very intelligent girl with alot of intuitive knowledge... but any suggestions for further information are rejected outright... there is no harm at all in checking out what people are telling you and rejecting them... but to reject them outright... she reminds me of me.. at 18 very much..

RE: life afer death

RE: life afer death

Well at least open ur mind.. explore all the possibities.. enlighten urself and then draw an informed conclusion... as a clearly clever person, you would be doing urself a serious injustice if you didn't at least to that

RE: life afer death

Check out Quantum Consciousness explains the Near Death Experience on U Tube then.. based on BBC documentary... it is possible... according to science

RE: life afer death

Check out Pam Reynolds NDE on Wikipedia.. it has scientists and physicians baffled.. believe me they are actively seeking a way to discount the possibility that it was a 'devine' occurence.... they could cut off or limit the blood supply to the brain by reducing her body temperature.. read it.. it is certainly food for thought

RE: after alot of Research I've found How to stay Younger Looking

I find sleep to be the best.. if I stick to at least 8 hours a night I get away with looking in my 20's.. if I don't I look closer to my age... also genetics has a role to play... but thanks great tips think will try them

RE: Your Keyboard: Dirtier Than a Toilet

Me too, I am never sick and I grew up in the countryside.. played around in mud the works... we are too paranoid about germs these days...

Perhaps a notion which is cultivated by detergent manufacturers.. who stand to make a lot of money from our fear

RE: life afer death

A cat scan revealed that Reynolds had a large artery aneurysm in her brain, close to the brain stem. Because of the difficult position of the aneurysm Dr. Robert Spetzler of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona decided that an unusual surgical procedure, hypothermic cardiac arrest, had to be performed. During this procedure, also known as standstill, her body temperature was lowered to 60 °F (16 °C), her breathing and heartbeat were stopped and the blood was drained from her head. Her eyes were closed with tape. Small ear plugs with speakers were plugged in her ears. These speakers emitted audible clicks which were used to check the function of the brain stem.

For a brief period in the middle of the procedure, she had a flat EEG, a non-responsive brain stem and no blood in her brain. The operation was a success and Reynolds recovered completely.

During the operation but prior to her being put in cardiac arrest, Reynolds later reports hearing a sound like a natural 'D'. The sound seems to pull her out of her body. Then she is floating around in the operating room and watches the doctors performing the operation. She feels more aware than normal and her vision is more focused and clearer than normal vision. She makes several observations, for example:

She notices the doctor using a drill to open her skull. It surprises her that it looks like an electric toothbrush, not like a saw as she expects. It is later confirmed that the drill used by the doctor was similar in appearance to an electric toothbrush.
She hears a female voice say, "We have a problem. Her arteries are too small." It is later confirmed that the doctors first tried to connect the heart-lung machine to the right leg. But the arteries are too small so they switch to the left leg.
These examples appear to show that she was able to see and hear during the operation.

At some point during the operation she notices a presence. Then she is pulled towards a light. As she gets closer the light becomes very bright. She begins to discern figures in the light, including her grandmother, an uncle, other deceased relatives and people unknown to her.

The longer she is there, the more she is enjoying it. But at some point in time she is reminded that she has to go back. Her uncle brings her back to her body. When she looks at her body she doesn't want to go back in. Her uncle tries to persuade her, but she keeps refusing. Then she sees her body making a jump (caused by the defibrillation to start up her heart). Her uncle gives her a push and she is back in her body.

The 'Pam Reynolds' case is on Wikipedia.. if ye want to check it out....
