Don't hold Grudges against Babies
Fat cats are deceptive. When you go to pick them up, you expect your hand to get engulfed by the rolls. But somehow, cat fat is made of solid stuff. For proof see Anna's cat Messier or Nate Dogg's adopted cat Casper.
The Grudge sucks. Don't rent it. I encourage downloading it illegally. The ending makes you angry. One thing that my dad brought to my notice was that it is in fact a moral movie. Lesson: don't hold grudges, cuz if you die while holding one, scary Asian boys will haunt your house and your spirit will be stuck killing people for eternity. Aren't there better things for all the spirits in horror movies to do than to hang around a crappy old house and kill people? Go throw deathday parties with Nearly-Headless Nick. Go find a nice Gothic cathedral or something. I think killing loses its novelty after a while, even if you get to literally frighten people to death (poor Frank Bryce {might not want to go there if you haven't read GOF and intend to}).
**********************Million Dollar Baby spoilers begin*********************************
I just saw Million Dollar Baby, and feel i need to express my views on the whole euthanasia issue as portrayed in it. I don't think Eastwood's character was wrong to do what he did. Here was a girl who every doctor said didn't have a hope. If she had been living a generation or two earlier, she would have already died. Her form of life was no real life. Don't families everyday make the decision to "pull the plug" on a loved one? They know that complete reliance on a machine for breathing and life is no life, and that the suffering endured needs to stop. You say "but Frank wasn't her family." Yes he was. Were those selfish hillbillies more family than the man who loved her most? With those few things in mind, i think Frank did the right thing, althoug hthat didn;t make watching it any more comfortable. Understand that this is my opinion on that particular instance. But i would love to hear your feelings on the subject in general.

Dang, how does Doug always make it into your blogs?! I am so jealous! ~Amy
Amy, send me a picture of you holding an automatic rifle and i promise, you will get in :).
I would say we need to realize what he did was wrong though I can understand why he did it. Like if we lie to protect someone from being killed never lose sight of the fact lying is wrong.
So are you saying that lying to keep an innocent person from dying, e.g. hiding Jews during the Holocaust, is wrong? I don't think you are. And if you are not, then you can't make blanket statements like "lying is wrong." Lying is usually wrong, and the same is probably true of euthanasia, but there are always those extreme circumstances that we have to take into account. It sounds like your (anonymous) first statement is barely more compassionate than that of the priest portrayed in the movie, "yeah, he can do it, but it's wrong."
