Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

Brother @Johann used that pic as an avatar when he first joined the forum!

Ahh, that makes sense!

My favorite quote that I look at quite a bit when I need a little boost is this one:

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”​

― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa

Being from Philly and being an Italian, Rocky holds a special place in my heart!

When I was in High School in Southern California we had to read aloud the screenplay from the first movie in English class. Southern California—don't it figure?

What do you think-put on "rocky" again Barn?
Lol!
Johann.

Aw yeah

Being as biased as I am about Rocky, I say that it is a good thing that they did that!

It certainly is!

My favorite lines are from III:

Apollo to Rocky:

"There is no tomorrow!!!"

Rocky to Paulie:

"Don't get mentally irregular, all right?"

Good or no, it was definitely Southern Californian!

Those are good ones too!

I am a fan of this one as well:
"I think we make a real sharp couple of coconuts."
