Man I saw a disturbing film yesterday..

Mr.Klein..... A Frightening depiction of France (Not Nazis, but French Police imposing absolute fear and horror upon the Jewish Community)

The plot is interesting.. A French Businessman ( Mr. Klein) involved with buying works of famous art from French Jews trying to gather enough money to escape from their nightmare...Mr. Klein obviously was buying these art pieces at very profitable price... Piece of Shit... His problem was the fact that somehow he got on The List.........Suspected Jew!!! So most of the film was about Mr. Klein trying to prove to officials that he wasn't a Jew ( Couldn't obtain his birth certificate)...He never was able to prove his true background .. So he was forced in the end along with the Jews on the death train to Germany... He was young& Handsome. But he deserved what he got..

The hardest thing to watch in the film is the manner in which French Police rounded up the Jews in order to send them to the death camps.. Very real images..Shot in a French City (Paris?) Devastating Scenes..Fuck those French Patriots. These horrible scum of the earth French Police...

The most disturbing film I've ever seen is called The Begotten. It's not a film with dialogue, but the imagery is creepy. Had something to do with god disemboweling himself or something? Just weird.

Despite being raised by Christian not-quite-fundies, I got circumcised as a "hygienic measure." That seems to be a standard thing here unless your parents strenuously opt out.

All because that nutter Kellog thought it prevented masturbation apparently.

There are pluses and minuses of circumcision. One thing that I read was that eventhough it was assumed babies didn't feel any pain, the part of the flesh cut off induces lots of pain. I also read that resident Doctors are normally performing the circumcision, the first time they did surgery on a live human being. On the plus side, I read that circumcision reduce the chance of hygienic diseases.
