pdogg Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Another weak President has met his match against a strong Russian leader with Obama's weakness giving Putin the green light to start throwing his weight around. Anyway, here's my question - what type of movies did Stalin like to watch? And the answer is ironic. Charlie Chaplin? So what should Obama do? I don't think the USA should act unilaterally. If something is to be done then NATO should do it. Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Still no takers for my question? Perhaps I should give you all some latitude: No, I shall be cruel, & not map it out for you... Ok so it's something to do with locations I presume. Brain too frazzled to think it out too much just now. Anyone else take a stab at it? Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Charlie Chaplin? So what should Obama do? I don't think the USA should act unilaterally. If something is to be done then NATO should do it. Stalin's favourite movies were Charlie Chaplin & Westerns. Ironic when you consider it. As for what Obama should do, that's the very question that crossed my mind when I typed my post. His action in endorsing sanctions is probably enough, time will tell, but it isn't so much what he can do now, it is the judgement that has already been made about the man going on his previous form. Russia see Obama as a left wing ideologue, a man who developed his beliefs through his upbringing & academic experience. He has never been hardened by war, he isn't a "hawk" who came to continue the Middle East conflict willingly. That he did was to his credit, the man is not silly & the arguments would have been well considered. But his talk of peace & closing Guantanamo have marked him as someone who the Russians have labelled as an easy foe. Putin would have carefully considered what reaction he might expect from Obama & calculated that he was never going to commit to another fight over somewhere like Crimea. However Crimea isn't the problem, Obama's worst nightmare would be if Putin decides he wants to take back Ukraine. Or other states. NATO would do nothing without Obama's imprimatur. They are mainly an extension of the US military there to do the bidding of their master. Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Islam believes Jesus was a prophet. Muhammad was another, how many prophets do Muslims believe have been sent to Earth by God? Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Gall-Peters/Mercator projections? OK, JaiDee thought it was to do with eyes, but it's not something you look with - but it is something you look at. Still no takers for my question? Perhaps I should give you all some latitude: No, I shall be cruel, & not map it out for you... The Mercator scale is to be found on any large map. I think it relates to the laying out of the world on a flat surface which gives a false scale for the top & bottom of the world. i.e. a globe can't be drawn to scale in two dimensions.

JaiDee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Awesome, Islam seems like such a nice, friendly religion. In America all you need is to be rich.....this clown was part of the Dupont chemicals family and he got NO time for raping his own 3-year old daughter. Fine, upstanding citizen.....you think a poor black guy from Harlem would have been spared jail time? http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/02/justice/delaware-du-pont-rape-case/ 1 Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 OK, saw this one online just today, BB and others who are good with musical questions may know this one; Name the only all-female band, who wrote their own songs, to make it to number one on the Billboard chart?

pdogg Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'll guess the Waitresses since the Gogos seem to poppy. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'll guess the Waitresses since the Gogos seem to poppy. The one you thought was too poppy was the winner! Maybe "We've got the beat?" Not sure..... Quote Link to comment
globetrotter Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 And "Vacation" was kind of catchy too Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Islam believes Jesus was a prophet. Muhammad was another, how many prophets do Muslims believe have been sent to Earth by God? Probably a bit much to expect for someone to know without googling the answer. (Unless you're one of *them*.) The answer is 124,000. That means we have all probably met one of them. I suspect SiamSam is one, he comes out with some weird stuff now & then... Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wow, that sounds almost as weird as Scientology or Mormonism. Almost. But then again all religions are whack, some just a little less than others. Quote Link to comment
Snick Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think the answer is around 20 to 30, with Mohammed being the last Prophet. It's heresy for anyone after Mohamed to be called or compared to a prophet. Quote Link to comment

Hint ; American The Bangles Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The Go-go's was the answer for that one. Quote Link to comment
Snick Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That was going to be my 2nd guess...oh well. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hey, at least you gave it a shot. As our esteemed moderator, Mister P.Dogg always says; "Better to put down something than just leaving it blank!" For what it's worth I liked the Bangles better, but both bands were quite wimpy. 'Walk like an Egyptian' was a cool song and Susanna Hoffs - yummmmmm Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think the answer is around 20 to 30, with Mohammed being the last Prophet. It's heresy for anyone after Mohamed to be called or compared to a prophet. I thought there were three - Moses, Jesus & Mohammed. I had never heard of so many prophets but 124K is the number.

Snick Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 wikipedia says 25, which is what I (kinda) said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Quranic_prophets Its basically the old testament guys, Noah,Abraham, Isaac,Moses...then Jesus and Mohammed. I have no idea what this 124,000 number is referring to. Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Snick, if you type into Google "124000 prophets", there are over 29,000 sites mentioned. The first page gives plenty of evidence supporting this number of Islamic prophets. Quote Link to comment
