"Fiction Writing"
Four men are arrested at Delhi Railway Station, with regard to robbing 2 men off their valuables through the use of sedatives. Mumbai Detection Crime Unit gets to the location where bulks of explosives were hidden. J&K Army Force hunts down 2 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists and recovers tones of explosives from Kashmir forest areas. CRIME PATROL is a reality series. However the case presentation would be a story telling form that would have the interest of a fiction drama presentation. The prelude and finale to the case would make the case a complete story. Interactions with the analysts on the show would be treated with the audience interest point of view keeping it only as much as essential to the story telling. Going beyond the drama of police action in a crime situation, the show also aims to look into the “why” behind a crime. Police action on one hand gives the show the edge of how the law keepers bring the culprits to book or stop a crime from being committed. On the other hand, the show will also be looking at the sociological aspect behind a crime- both from the victim as well as the criminal’s side. The cases would be driven by cameras moving along with the police force from the time a crime is reported or when the police receive a call till the point the case is brought to a logical conclusion in the police records for further movement in the court of law. As such the police force is deemed to be the law keeper and not the justice authority.
Question: Why would more people spend their money seeing movies Like “The Da Vinci Code” and?
“The Last Temptations of Christ” than going to church or reading their Bible? IF these movies are “fiction” and IF you’re one to believe the Bible is fiction, than why not read IT??

its all about having an open mind and enjoying the views of others!
US & New Zealand: GIANT SQUID Somewhere in the deep dark alien world of the great oceans is one of the most mysterious creatures of the modern age — the Giant Squid. Once believed to be a terrifying sea monster, but now seen as this century’s greatest natural detective story, the Giant Squid is still out there, somewhere and yet no human has ever seen one alive and in its natural habitat. USA & Australia: ANIMAL PHANTOMS Is it possible that the bond between humans and their pets can be so strong that they can’t be separated even by death? Animal X meets a number of people who have encountered ghostly apparitions in an attempt to separate fact from fiction and look for possible explanations. International: KAMIKAZE MATING Insects and arachnids first appeared on earth around 400 million years ago. Today more than a million species survive making this ancient class of creatures by far the most successful to ever roam the planet. But evolutionary success isn’t easy, and in a world where survival rests on the ability to reproduce, the race to procreate has created some unusual behaviour… Animal X explores the world of Kamikaze mating.
Question: Why do people claim they have proof or “evidence” when they have none at all?
Has anyone ever noticed that when people say “The Earth is 6.3 billion years old” there is always a “probably” in between “6.3″ and “is”? How come no one ever points that when people say “Human-like creatures appeared
It’s all theory.
Who are we as mere people to say what it is and what it isn’t? Nothing is certain so what’s the point of all this argument? How can we determine “fiction” from “non-fiction”. Who are we to say everything we know and believe is not the way the other person believes it to be? Maybe this is all a huge joke and Zeus or God or Odin or maybe all three are up there laughing at our “genius”? Then again maybe nothing’s out there but a cold vaccum or it could be whipped cream and chocolate noodles. I have no idea and neither does anyone else so why do we fight?
(Ugh… I need to go lie down)
Sorry sorry I got 6.3 billion from the Earth’s population. I’m 15 cut me some slack. Jeez…

Sciencitic facts are not subject to opinion or belief. You either accept it or reject it. If you reject it, then you show that you do not understand science at all.
What you just wrote shows that you do not understand science, or what a scientific theory is. You’re better off if you learn this first before trying to make an argument against it.
Question: Does anyone remember the show “Beyond Belief”?
And I don’t mean “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction.” I believe this show used to run on Nickelodeon in the early 90s, fairly early on weekend mornings. It had a guy for a host who went through the chamber of horrors at Madame Tussaud’s in London and looked at other kind of morbid stuff.

Question: Is feminist “fictional” literature harmless?
Earlier, I quoted Marilyn French from her book “The Woman’s Room” & someone chimed in that the book was “fiction.”
In an interview about the book, Marilyn said:
“”God, how they attacked me in some quarters, And why? Because I told the truth. They said I was a man hater, and I never defended myself against that, because I do believe that men are to blame for the condition of women.”
http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/generalfiction/story/0,,1799025,00.html
This book is promoted in Women’s Studies programs all over the country. It is a popular piece of feminist literature.
Read the reviews here:
http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Room-Marilyn-French/dp/0345353617
Here’s a quote from one:
“Simply, this book changed my life completely… …I have been unable to look at men, women, and relationships the same since.”
I won’t let Marilyn’s sexism be explained away as if it’s “fiction.”
EDIT:
Context is key.
When universities use books like this in their curriculums & when you see how women are impacted by this particular book, you can’t help wonder if a sexist & anti-male author should be given a soap box in academia.
It’s bad enough, that women read books like this on their own accord… but when they are assigned reading at a university, there is an automatic credibility associated with that connection.
(vintner)
That makes no sense.
EDIT:
(lyanthya)
I don’t care if you think your words do not carry implications, but let me assure you, they do. You were bothered by the fact people keep quoting the “all men are rapists” line. You mentioned how one of her characters uttered those words.
Let me show you again how she herself describes that book:
“”God, how they attacked me in some quarters, And why? Because I told the truth. They said I was a man hater, and I never defended myself against that, because I do believe that men are to blame for the condition of women.”
Let’s just say her “characters” reflect her own opinions with regard to that book as she herself admits.
I’ll go with what Marilyn French herself says over what you say to try & defend her.
EDIT:
(Tracey)
Overreactions are fun, aren’t they. I advocate the removal of that book from universities (some of them state funded) that promote sexist literature from sexist authors. (Go ahead & deny that she was sexist. I have a nice quote ready for you.) Misandrists will always read things that make them feel better about themselves by tearing men down. “Burning” that book as you suggest would do exactly nothing. There’d be another one along from another sexist author the next day.
(Rio)
Read some of the reviews from the link I provided. …Then do a Google search for both the author’s name & the book title. You will see that nearly every time the book is mentioned the words “inspirational” & “life changing” are used.
EDIT:
(lyanthya)
I’ve read more than one excerpt from the book that have all been sexist. I wouldn’t waste my time reading the whole thing.
What does the phrase “telling the truth” mean to you?
She defends her book & the “man-hating” therein & goes on to conclude that “men are to blame for the condition of women.”
I’m sure in feminist fantasyland, a person like this can write a sexist book, make sexist comments to defend the book, but be allowed to step away from all of it with 0.0% accountability.
Feminists are funny like that.
Again… I’m going to go with Marilyn French’s own words & not your desperate hopes that she was not a sexist & didn’t believe that which she wrote even though she admitted to it in plain english.
EDIT:
If Michael Crichton wrote a book that was racist in tone with anti-black views & contained the phrase “all black people are criminals & that’s all that they are” …& later told the media that he was “telling the truth” in this book, what do you think people would and should think about that?
Would it be safe to assume he might believe a remark like that was true given the fact that he was clearly a racist & thought he was being “truthful.”
What would society think about him?
Would they have his books assigned at our universities?
You go ahead & think about that.
Answer:
Answer by roman_hex
I dunno, I would say it’s harmful if the idea of the book is the kind that says “All men are sexist pigs who don’t respect women”. In that case definately.
But if it’s that kind of feminism that promotes female power rather than denouncing male power, then what could be wrong with it? I hate those books where every man is described and portrayed as an evil man with an evil penis that enjoys exploiting women, but I love the kind of books that tell about a changed life because a woman realized her own inner beauty or something.

Question: Do you like “Natural Born Killers” (the movie), why/why not?
I’m not trying to be judgmental. I know there are people that like it. So please don’t take this as a judgmental comment.
I personally couldn’t stand the images of that movie
I haven’t seen it, but my dad warned me against watching that movie, for a good reason: the movie seems to glorify mass murdering for no reason.
And I heard it was sick and twisted when it came to graphic violence.
I’ve seen “Pulp Fiction,” and I think this movie is even more twisted.
Usually I watch violent movies, like “Godfather,” “GoodFellas,” “Casino,” cause the violence is done for a reason–revenge.
“Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction,” while sick in certain scenes, also had the revenge.
What I’m talking about is when you’re angry, violent movies tend to diffuse your anger.
From what I know, this movie doesn’t.
Please don’t get graphic with your answers. Just give it to me brief.
This movie has upsetting subject matter.
Like I like violent movies usually, for the reason many that have been through a lot likes them, because you can relate to that desire for revenge.
But this movie crosses the line, for me.

Images I saw because I saw the trailer to this movie once.
