...game is torture enough. One of the captives debates with a reluctant guard about the logic of Iran's law banning women from stadiums. "There are lots of men in there," he argues. "They'll be cursing and swearing." Without missing a beat, she replies: "We promise not to listen." In his newest movie Offside (released in Britain on June 9, the first day of the World Cup), Iranian director Jafar Panahi uses such back-and-forth to highlight the absurdity of a rule that doesn't allow women to enjoy the beautiful game. But the conversation could easily apply...
...Hanks) and a French policewoman (Audrey Tautou) by a devout, albino hit man (Paul Bettany) and rival gangs of learned loonies, all in search of Christ's Holy Grail--has some superficial bustle, but essentially it's a course in speculative religious and art history.

It might take a while to get administrators to really listen, but progress is often made.There are plenty more complaints that could be debunked at least partially. And I’m not saying that it is plausible, or even logical, for us to stop complaining. But at the risk of sounding like Little Miss Sunshine, it’s worth remembering...
...invasion, but like many others, I chose inaction. I stayed silent and let others protest. I'll never know if I could have made a difference, but I regret not trying. Rosemary Garro Tanfani Fair Oaks, California, U.S. While Newbold may have heard The Who, he clearly did not listen to them. If he had, he would have been in tune with the thousands who protested before the war.
