Kokoda
Kokoda (2006)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: A bitter battle is fought between Australian and Japanese soldiers along the Kokoda trail in New Guinea during World War II.

Directors: Grierson Alister

Actors: Finsterer Jack,McMahon Travis,Stone Simon,Ford Luke,Budge Tom,Le Marquand Steve,Sampson Angus,Baker Christopher,Leslie Ewen,Barrack Ben,Bourne Shane,McInnes William,Taylor Darren,Stibbard Lucas,Gunn Jeffey,Drama,War,

Does Australia owe its survival to the soldiers who fought in Kokoda?
There is a debate on whether Australia was fighting for it’s survival in 1942 because it is unknown whether the Japanese would invade it. If invasion theory was true, does Australia owe it’s survival solely to the soldiers who fought in Kokoda and the New Guinea campaign or must the Battle of Midway and Coral Sea be taken into account? Who does Australia owe it’s survival to?
However, if this invasion was a myth, what threatened Australia’s suvival that it was compelled to send out it’s troops? What were those men fighting for?


The initial goal of the Japanese campaign in SE Asia was to seize the oil fields of Indonesia / Borneo.

Check.

Drive out Allied bases in the area that would interfere with the supply lines. Singapore, Philippines, Indo China.

Check.

Extend Japanese bases west to interfere with British attempts to retake those bases. Burma campaign.
Check.

Extend Japanese bases southeast to interfere with American/Australian attempts to build up forces to counterattack from that direction. Rabaul, Port Morsbrey, Guadalcanal.

Ooops.

Once the Japanese had established bases in New Guinea to support bases in the Solomons to attack the supply line from America to Australia, the next step was to eliminate the ability of Australia to be used as a threat against them, which was invade somewhere north of Brisbane and drive south.

The Japanese were not only concerned with the oil of the Dutch East Indies, but like their German allies, something called lieberstrand, literally "Living Room". Japan is CROWDED. China is filled with Chinese. Australia was a whole continent , comparatively barely settled, with a few people who could become comfort women or slave laborers, who’s army was 7,000 miles away fighting the Italians in North Africa.

The Japanese never had a detailed plan for Australia, the way, say, the Germans had "Sea Lion" for England, but it was next.

and yes, you Aussies owe your survival to the few Australian ..and one US regiment…that fought in those hellish conditions; to the improbable alliance of a vain aristocratic genius American general and a radical leftist Prime Minister who saw that "Australia must be defended in New Guinea"…….and yes, to the USN that stopped the sea born invasion of Port Morsebry which would have cut off the Allied troops ashore at Coral Sea; and to the USN ( and the cruisers Australia and Canberra ) and the US Marine Corps that stopped the right flank attack on the communication lines at Guadalcanal.

Plot: Set against the backdrop of a mythic “New West,” a satire that follows grammatically-challenged, “user-friendly” candidate Dicky Pilager, scapegrace scion of Colorado’s venerable Senator Jud Pilager, during his gubernatorial campaign. When Pilager finds that he’s reeled in a corpse during the taping of an environmental political ad, his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven, hires former idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny O’Brien to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager family’s enemies.

Why do Christians ignore Jesus' words in Matthew 10?
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth after he had charged them, saying: Into the road to the Gentiles go not, and into a city of the Samaritans enter not;

6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

9 Provide not gold, neither silver, nor brass in your girdles;

10 no bag for the journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer is worthy of his support.

11 Into whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go forth.

12 And when you enter a house, salute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Especially verse 5 and 14…
EDIT@me. Yes I do.
Now, do you have an answer or not?


They lack the sense of answering a question is the reason why.

Sirius R?g?n?rat?d | Feb 04, 2010


do you even understand those verses?
Me | Feb 04, 2010


You have to be filled with the Holy Interpreter to understand those verses. SInce I am, I will explain. It means people are supposed to wait until planet Mars (called "city of the Samaritans") is inhabited before taking any action.

These will be the pupal stage of a moth of some sort. By your description of a storm window I guess that you are not in the UK so exactly which moth I could not tell you.

What does this mean?
I was reading a biography on Mariah Carey and it said this

Her father, Alfred Roy Carey, was African-American and Venezuelan, and her mother, Patricia Hickey, was Irish American. Her racial background gave Mariah Carey her unique beauty.


It means that her mix of a lot of races is what makes her beautiful.

Why do people say Disney's animated movies lack diversity?
If you look at where the movies are set you notice something else. They are set in:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs = Germany
Pinocchio = Italy
Fantasia = Ambiguous
The "packaged" movies = Latin America
Dumbo = USA
Bambi = Austria
Cinderella = France
Alice in Wonderland = rural England
Peter Pan = London, England
Lady and the Tramp = USA
Sleeping Beauty = France
One Hundred and One Dalmatians = London, England
The Sword in the Stone = medieval England
The Jungle Book = India
The Aristocats = Paris, France (1910)
Robin Hood = Nottingham, England (~1100)
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh = England
The Rescuers = New York, USA (one of the characters is Hungarian)
The Fox and the Hound = Ambiguous
The Black Cauldron = Wales
The Great Mouse Detective = Victorian London (one of the characters is Scottish)
Oliver & Company = New York City, USA
The Little Mermaid = Denmark
The Rescuers Down Under = Australian outback
Beauty and the Beast = rural France
Aladdin = Arabia
The Lion King = southern Africa
Pocahontas = United Kingdom/Native American land
The Hunchback of Notre Dame = Paris, France (several of the characters are Romani (gypsies))
Hercules = Ancient Greece
Mulan = China
Tarzan = West Africa
Dinosaur = pre-historic setting of what is now Venezuela
The Emperor’s New Groove = Inca empire (now modern day Peru)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire = Island of Atlantis (characters who are Atlantean/American/French/Italian)
Lilo & Stitch = Hawaii
Treasure Planet = South-west England mid 18th century/Caribbean
Brother Bear = post Ice Age North America (some characters are Native Americans)
Home on the Range = American West
Chicken Little = Small-town America
Meet the Robinsons = America in the future
Bolt = Hollywood/New York City/Las Vegas

And the next one out is the Princess and the Frog which is set in New Orleans with African-American characters. But why are some people seriously saying Disney lacked diversity before this? Do they seriously believe that all whites are the same? Are they choosing to ignore other Disney movies with non-white characters?
@David: 0.0 I guess you’ve missed the storm that has come since the announcement of TPATF. ;D


Regarding ethnicity, I have no problems with Disney, but I have to admit that I’m not keen on the way they alter and change the original fairy tales and stories. I grew up with H.C. Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid" and the Disney version just feels wrong and in my opinion misrepresents the original fairy tale. Why even base the movie on the original story? Why not just write a new mermaid story with a happy end?

Voelven | Dec 14, 2009


Who said they aren’t diverse?
David | Dec 11, 2009


Alice in Wonderland does not take place in England. It takes place in Wonderland. Peter Pan takes place in Neverland. Just sayin’.

What they mean is that all Disney movies use the same cliches and plot devices. They aren’t racially in- diverse, they’re cinematographically in- diverse.
Rob | Dec 11, 2009


Nobody said it wasn’t diverse. It’s just that they didn’t use a black person, and black people are a significant part of American History, yet we never used a black person.

Racing Stripes
Racing Stripes (2005)

IMDB rating: 5.30

Plot: In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some very precious cargo—a baby zebra. The gangly little foal is rescued by horse farmer Nolan Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channing. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or “Stripes,” as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm’s misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who’s hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm – in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing’s top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he’s hooked—he knows that if he could just get the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust. What he doesn’t know is—he’s not exactly a horse. But with characteristic zeal, he devotes himself to training for the big time, with a little help from Tucker, who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

Man Who Would Be King, The
Man Who Would Be King, The (1975)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: ” The Man Who Would Be King” is about two ambitious ex-soldiers stationed in India who set out to become the rulers of an entire country. After finishing their tour of duty in India, Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan have decided that India is “too small for the likes of them,” so they decide to bribe a local ruler and extort money from him, in order to buy twenty Martini rifles, which they will use to take over villages in Kafristan. They face many challenges and perils along the way, including difficult terrain, hostile natives, freezing temperatures, and an avalanche high in the mountains. They eventually come to a small village, Urheb, where they meet Ootah and Billy Fish, an Indian who speaks English; he then becomes their translator. They then train the natives of this village to use the rifles, and soon conquer village after village. During a battle, Daniel is struck by an arrow that seemingly sticks out of his chest. The ignorant natives believe that he must be a God for not having died, and fall down and begin worshiping him. Daniel and Peachy decide that it would be easier for a “God ” to take over the country, so they pretend that Daniel is a god, the son of Alexander the Great who has returned after 2200 years to again rule Kafristan. The entire country celebrated the return of their new ruler, the Son of Segunda (”Alexander”). As a token of their admiration, the holiest of holy men gives Daniel all of the gold and riches left by Alexander in 328 B.C. It is enough to make them the richest men in the world . . . All goes well until Daniel’s ego and greed gets the best of him. He asks Peachy to bow when he walks in front of him. He later tells Peachy that he has decided to stay, and now believes that he is the son of Alexander ( ‘in spirit, anyways”), and that to fulfill his destiny, he will marry Roxanne, like his “father” Alexander did before him. The Kafiri’s believe that a mortal cannot marry a God, but Daniel goes ahead anyway. Peachy was set to leave with his share of the treasure, but Daniel convinced him to stay ” for old time’s sake” for the wedding. At the ceremony, Roxanne, believing that she would soon die, bites Daniel, drawing blood. The entire crowd realizes that since Danny is bleeding, that he is a man, not a God, and that he has been deceiving them the entire time. Peachy grabs Daniel and they run off with their twenty soldiers, shooting at the crowd of monks who set out to kill them. They are eventually captured, and Daniel is forced to walk out on a rope bridge. The monks cut the ropes, and Daniel bravely falls to his death. Peachy is later crucified; when they come to see him the next day, he is still alive, and they say that it is a miracle that he lived and they cut him down. He eventually climbs down into the valley and retrieves Danny’s head, still wearing the crown. He brings it back to Rudyard Kipling, a writer for the Northern Star, as proof that Daniel accomplished his goal, and became the King of Kafristan. Themes developed in the story: 1. ambition 2. friendship 3. taking risks 4. perseverance (not giving up) 5. power 6. honor and dignity

can a 15 years old man work at burger king or McDonald?


Depends on the state, but most likely yes. Also one more thing, you’re not a man.
Child Please | Feb 07, 2010


Well, I won’t call a 15 year old a man (thats just me) but there isn’t a true age limit to working at Mc Donald’s, However law does have some control over the age. Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) outlines the working conditions and restrictions that apply to workers, including minors. The rules change depending on the age of the minor and the job he is doing. Basically FLSA has made 14 years of age the legal minimum age of employment in most kinds of jobs.

You have to prove to the manager that you are responsible and can handle the job efficiently. Good luck. Check my source for more info.
Shock | Feb 07, 2010


Well there’s your problem, you’re considering yourself a man. On a serious note, depending on what state I believe you have to be 15 1/2 and you get paid less. I’m not sure, I just friends who worked at Harkins Theaters and that’s how it was for them.

What is the song name in GTSA that goes like "in the desert"?
-It’s in Grand theft Auto Saint Antreas
-It is a country song i suppose


It’s called "A Horse with no name", and I believe that the band was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It’s on the oldies channel, and the credits should be listed in the back of the instruction manual.
