Here is a clip from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. It has dialogue and music. The movie constantly goes from prison escapes, to KKK rally, to bank robberies, to a guitar player selling his soul to the devil, to corrupt Mississippi politics. It’s kind of like Forest Gump in that respect.

The Dish was boring. Much like Brian.

Oh, Brother is IMO a great movie. Great music.

The 50th anniversary of the first moon landing is coming up in July. Can you imagine the head of NASA Mission Control telling his staff, "When calculating how to get the crew back to Earth, both approximations and precise answers are appropriate!"
Never seen the movie "The Dish" have you, 4E? Nor read anything about how they got Apollo 13 back from the moon after their accident. In both cases ("The Dish" cover Australia's contribution to Apollo 11) approximation was good enough to find Apollo 11 after it was "lost" by the Parkes Radio Telescope and to get Apollo 13 back to Earth. I'd recommend you watch both movies, you might find them educational... :roll:
What's the second movie?

Apollo 13 although while accurate, it dramatises several segments of their ordeal. The various books are better on the topic.

Maybe for a starter first change your broken and completely corrupt economic systems :Hi

There are no mass shootings in Russia, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary because here there's love, there's normal relationships between people, true friendship, and the mental illnesses were always - to the bare minimum.

Guns are not a problem. Mentally challenged morons, raised by single moms, distanced by society, and living like robots - is the true problem. Start from ground zero and work your way up :thumb

For a starter - don't separate kids, one children sitting alone on a desk. That's the quickest way to create psychopaths. In Russia and many other Eastern and Central European countries - children sit together, boy and girl, thus this allows them to form real bonds and friendships, and not for example - become socially awkward, detached, mass murderers.

That's a real comparison all right - primary school classrooms with upper high school classrooms, yeah, that'll really work out OK. Flektarn, you're full of bullshit, you realise that? :roll:

I imagine that the Russian classroom are sitting EXAMS. Probably Maths as they all have calculators .... which weren't around when I did exams. Note the bloke wandering around peering over shoulders to make sure nobody is cheating?
