Varsity Theatre Drama

 This month, Varsity Theater hosted the Cinema Paradise film festival. I was there to watch   "2pac Ressurrection", a documentary made by Afeni Shakur and MTV Films! It was very interesting to learn about 2pac's life from childhood, his early career, his troubles with the media, the law and the Bad Boy crew (Biggie and Puff), and his death! It showed a lot of 2pac's fun side, with a lot of hoochies coming on to him.

But the real drama was while waiting for the film to start. 

This was what I sent to the 2 local papers. Hopefully one will print it.

On Friday, September 17, the staff at Varsity Theatre was very disorganized. On that day, there was a film festival going on. Films earlier that day started late, which caused delays for those waiting to watch films later that night. Because of those delays, me and others who were waiting for a 10pm film weren't let into the theatres until 10:20. To add insult to injury, I went to use bathroom after finally entering the theatre, and a big burly staff member didn't even let me into screening room until a co-worker told him to let me in.

If this is how Varsity Theatre usually operate, then I'll support any plans to knock that theatre down and replace it with housing for UH students.

A Day to Remember

It was 3 years ago today, when Islamic terrorists slammed airplanes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania!

Take a moment of silence to remember the innocent victims of the attack, to remember those who attempted to rescue those stuck in the buildings, and all those whose loved ones passed away!

Shoot the Crop Thieves

Earlier this week, a farmer in Kahuku shot and killed a crop thief.

He was arrested and recently out on bail! He might go on trial!

I say LET HIM GO ALREADY!

That Kahuku farmer doesn't belong in jail!

That crop thief DESERVES TO BE SHOT AT! That's what he gets for taking things that aren't his! You don't ask for permission and you take, you should get a beat-down or be shot at!

If that Kahuku farmer is found guilty and put in jail - THE CROP THIEVES WIN! They will celebrate by stealing more crops, knowing that the farmers would be reluctant to defend what's rightfully theirs!

But of course, gun control fanatics, and the mega-left don't care about the livelihood of farmers who live FAR from the nearest police station! It doesn't matter to the mega-left that many crop thieves are dangerous psychopaths!

People whine about vigilanteeism! I say Vigilanteeism is NECESSARY! Cops don't arrive on time! Criminals KNOW THAT! By the time cops come, you're already severely injured, raped or even killed!

And peace pansies say "just give the robbers what they want and you wont get hurt" I say BULLSHIT! When someone ask you for your possessions in an aggressive manner, it has NOTHING to do with getting your possessions! The robbers say "give me your $$$" to see if you're scared! As soon as you show signs of fear, not only they'll take your stuff, they'll beat the living shit of you, even if you gave them your stuff!

Remember, it's not Dick Cheney or John Kerry getting robbed in the streets. Criminals know those people are well protected. It's the common person who has 1% of Cheney's or Kerry's wealth, that get robbed by street thugs! Why? It's not the possessions the common person has, it's the vulnerability the common person has!

I remember my former co-worker told me that during his middle school years, he would step up to some kids and say "give me your $$$, muthafucka"! He said he did that because he thought it was fun! That same guy told me that at the same time he was robbing other kids, he himself had more than enough $$$ in his pockets to buy snacks and soda! Money wasn't his motive, bullying the other kids for fun was his motive! He wouldn't even dare rob The Rock or Suge Knight for $$$, even if both those celebrities he WAY MORE $$$ than the kids he was robbing. Why? Because The Rock or Suge Knight would give him a beat down if he even dared! So he robbed kids are LOT LESS RICH and a LOT MORE VULNERABLE!

You cant reason with thieves, muggers, rapist, etc. Those people think reasoning is for sissies! The only language they know is fear and violence! So if a robber steps up to you, DONT EVER THINK giving him your stuff, pleading for respect, etc would ever work! The only thing you can do is 1) run like hell and hope they wont catch up, 2) knock them out or 3) point a pistol at them! You don't like those options? IT DOESNT MATTER! This is reality, you can't sing "give peace a chance" to someone who is threatening you! Criminals aren't politically correct!

Republican Convention

1) some great comments by Arizona Senator John McCain

Our choice wasn't between a benign status quo and the bloodshed of war. It was between war and a graver threat. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not our critics abroad. Not our political opponents. And certainly not a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace when in fact it was a place of indescribable cruelty, torture chambers, mass graves and prisons that destroyed the lives of the small children held inside their walls. Whether or not Saddam possessed the terrible weapons he once had and used, freed from international pressure and the threat of military action, he would have acquired them again

.2) Arnold again used the "girlie men" comment in reffering to Democrats. I admit, it was funny to hear Arnold say "dont be economic girlie men". But the feminists do have a point in saying that the "girlie men" comments gives the image that women are weak and therefore, weak men are "girlie men". Maybe next time, Arnold can call his opponents "cowards" and "whiners"!

Bush Saved Iraqi Lives

Of course that title is blasphemy to the Radical Left

Anyways, here are some facts, courtesy of Stuart Hayashi

Saddam Hussein became presdient of Iraq in 1979. His reign ended in 2003. Within that duration -- those 24 years -- Saddam Hussein killed 1,000,000 people. That is worth repeating. Saddam Hussein killed ONE MILLION innocent Iraqis on account of their disagreeing with him. That means that, within those 24 years, Hussein killed an average 41,666 people every year.

And with the invasion

In 2003, Bush had the U.S. military invade Iraq. As a result, an estimated 10,000 Iraqi civilians were killed by accident.

But do you know what would have happened if Bush did not invade Iraq? If Saddam Hussein continued killing Iraqi civilians at the same rate that he did from 1979 to 2003, he would have killed an estimated 41,666 Iraqi civilians in 2004 ON PURPOSE. That is over four times the number of Iraqis whom Bush killed accidentally. And Saddam Hussein would have continued murdering tens of thousands of Iraqis in every succeeding year. And let's not forget that after he died, Saddam would have been replaced by Uday Hussein -- an even bigger reputed sadist and serial rapist -- to kill even more Iraqis.

In 2004 alone, GEORGE W. BUSH STATISTICALLY SAVED THE LIVES OF AN ESTIMATED NET TOTAL OF 31,666 IRAQI CIVILIANS.

My comments: Those facts will be ignored by Bush-hating Radical Lefties, who care more about promoting anti-Americanism than saving Iraqi lives,

Safe Olympics

With the exception of one lunatic trying to tackle the Brazilian marathon runner, and a post-match fist-fight between the wrestlers from Russia and Belarus, this Olympics that ended yesterday has been very peaceful.

No terror act, no bombing, no chemical/biological/nuclear attack!

Olympics 2004

I've been so busy, I haven't had time to comment on the Olympics on this blog!

1)Iranian judo guy refused to compete with an Israeli because of Israel's human rights violations against Palestinians. Hey, Mr Iranian judo guy, look in the mirror! It's Iran that has one of the worst human rights record in the world! You don't see the USA chickening out of competing with China, Iran, Cuba or anyone else

2) Congrats to local boy Brian Clay for his silver medal in the decathlon. He is a Hawaii boy of multi-racial heritage (part black/part Japanese) so the mixed race folks have another athletic role model in addition to Tiger Woods.

3)with the gold medal win, there might be a professional softball league for the women in the USA soon. Though I think they should start small and grow gradually. The Major Leagues didn't get to where they are overnight! The expectation of overnight growth has hurt WNBA and the women's soccer league! They should've started in smaller stadiums, and gradually graduate to bigger stadiums once interest increase.

4) The biggest individual hero of this Olympics might be Michael Phelps the swimmer. He'll be the one with the biggest hype after the Olympics. Will he continue in 2008?

5)The torch will soon go from Athens (the birthplace of the Olympics) to Beijing in 2008. Will Taiwan be playing? Will there a Tibetan athletic hero or will China continue to oppress the Tibetans?
