the image of caligula that keeps being shown is actually of Malcolm McDowell, of "clockwork orange" fame, who starred as the title character in bob guccione's infamously produced 6 million dollar porn film "caligula." the movie contained several highly ranked, well known actors, including McDowell, John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole, none of whom appeared in any of the porn segments of the film. and, no, i've never seen the film. its said to be pretty gross.

... islam doesn't allow for graven images of people. they call it idolatry. idols are what pagans worshipped. christians are supposed to be anti-idolatry too. but they just ignore it. its a part of the ten comandments, of which islam has its own version - "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" let's face it. regardless of your race, ethnicity or nationality the history of humanity is infested with greed, slaughter, mayhem, war and slavery. INJUSTICE, CRUELTY, BRUTALITY and blind conformity, gullibility and stupidity is what has defined our species for over 6000 years.

@Puzzoozoo ... they were basicaly defrauded into their roles. i'd be angry about that too. i've seen other tinto brass films, softcore (i don't think he's made another hardcore film), that i liked. the production values and cinematography in his films are excellent. but i really dislike films, any films, that are designed to shock and intended to gross out the viewer. there's a huge difference between "realism" and deliberate "bad taste." when bad taste becomes popular you know your culture is in decline. which is why i hate slasher films and torture porn. these aren't horror movies but blood splattered gross-out films. screw that. america's culture is definately in decline.

odd how religion, even more so than politics, brings out the worst in people. it creates suspicion, fear, social divisions and hate. it also results more in hypocrisy, double standards and situational ethics than reverence, true devotion or actual belief. why are people such suckers? because the zealots, extremists and fanatics keep killing the insightful and smart people who know better. the independent, free-thinking, dissident gene is dying out.

papal history, like all religious history, is soaked in the blood of dissidents and non-believers. odd how religion, even more so than politics, brings out the worst in people. it creates suspicion, fear, social divisions and hate. it also results more in hypocrisy, double standards and situational ethics than reverence, true devotion or actual belief. why are people such suckers? because the zealots, extremists and fanatics keep killing the insightful and smart people who know better. the independent, free-thinking, dissident gene is dying out.

and to demonstrate how fickle people can be, today there's a resurgence of italian supporrt for the reestablishment of a fascist state. and fascism is on the rise throughout the world. hitler sending troops to greece to counter the italian failure of defeating it, had another effect on the war as a whole. hitler sending troops to greece delayed the german invasion of russia making german troops vulnerable to the harsh russian winter once the attack commenced. the russian winter halted the german advance until the following spring and allowed russia to regroup and replenish her troops. it also must be remembered that mussolini didn't invent fascism or its brutality and rule by terror. many fascist states existed for centuries throughout history long before mussolini. stalin, himself, was no socialist. he ruled like a brutal fascist dictator. all mussolini did was give fascism its name. thanks for the video.

i disagree. monty python, that great profit and toothless soothsayer expects the spanish inquisition. now we're all on guard for the spanish inquisition. or are we? a new spanish inquisition seems to rear its ugly head at least once a generation. what's up that?

why would humanoid species have so many variations? do elephants, dogs and snakes, etc, have so many variations? they talk like evolution doesn't exist. species just show up and disappear. what makes them think none of them evolved into us?

i would buy the entire human race and set them all free. then when i saw stupid, gullible humanity willingly sell itself back into slavery i'd build a rocket ship and get the hell off this planet.

yes we should teach the fact that african history is just as full of greed, corruption, hatred, war and injustice as the history of any other peoples. let's face it. regardless of your race, ethnicity or nationality the history of humanity is infested with greed, slaughter, mayhem, war and slavery. INJUSTICE, CRUELTY, BRUTALITY and blind conformity, gullibility and stupidity is what has defined our species for over 6000 years.

no rich person on earth was ever the "man of the people." the sooner we accept that reality the better off we'll all be. let's face it. regardless of your race, ethnicity or nationality the history of humanity is infested with greed, slaughter, mayhem, war and slavery.

@dudeonyoutube ... you're right. many of the actors reported they knew nothing of the pornographic intent of the film. and were shocked upon the film's release. McDowell said he was flatly lied to about it. the director, tinto brass, went on to make numerous big budget italian softcore porn films. some of which are actually pretty good. "caligula" was his first film and, too my knowledge, his only hardcore movie.
