Haha...yeahhh Suspeckted. I read A Girl Masterbates out of curiousity.....weak. I was wondering why a woman couldn't describe it better than that! My theory? Dirty Old Man. Sorry Manya77, but you could always prove me wrong...
"What drives a man to dedicate his life to a god?" In a Christian sense, people dedicate their lives to God because it makes them feel good, and safe, and like they are doing the right thing. They can find peace in the followings of the bible and sharing those following with other people. They are looking for a way to make sense of everything that is happening around us. They find it in God. It's the old 'good things happen to g
I don't know if you meant to bring some light-hearted-ness into this, but I think it was effective. I can feel your frustration and resentment, but then you just throw in that mastercard (?) commercial block, and I really get the impression that there's hope for you in the near future! Not that there wasn't...haha. I wish you the best of healing.
It's bumper to bumper again. Pairs of small rectangular lights weave around each other. Stopping and starting. Stopping and starting. Their color blurs into streams of red. Red, red, red. In the absence of anything else, last night comes back to me. Could you, I thought? I know the absence of affection over long periods of time makes people
Draginol, You're so far off here... You'd be hard pressed to find articles on this site by "right wingers" that could be described as "racist". Did you happen to miss little-whip's artical recently titled Poor, Black, and Filthy ?? That's just the beginning of all t
She’d only been gone only a short time. To me it seemed forever. It was at least long enough that I feared I’d forget what her voice sounded like any day. I was stubborn, though, and angry, even bitter. Not him though. I thought he was naïve to still have hope. I’d given up soon after her short-lived effort died. Somehow he never did. Naivety, I thou
BS but I don't think you were abused needlessly Are you suggesting that there is ever a time that abuse is needed? That's creepy.
Thanks for the recap bro. I diddn't actually think you'd put your story up here. It holds up better when you tell it.
Thanks for the recap, bro. Sorry I didn't get all the facts straight. A story holds up a lot better when it's told by the person that experienced it. Welocome to JU!
Alison W Having to do this takes time out of my classroom to teach the life long values that music has to offer...but wait....according to W the arts are just an extra curricular activity and have nothing to offer. MUSIC EQUALS BRAINPOWER! I know music equals power. Maybe you could do some
Suspeckted's latest article Adopting the Feminist Label reminded me of a conversation I overheard between two women in their 20s and a 5th grade book order. It's random enough, I know, but they do relate. Thanks for the inspiration Suspeckted. I'll start with the women in their 20s. I was half taking part in a conversation about movies. The old w
CrispE Thanks, I'll check it out. I think that darkness appeals to a lot of kids!
Since the beginning of the school year, the teacher that is suppose to be my mentor has been running her classroom like I imagine basic training for the US military (no I haven't been through it, but she did show a video to the class!). It's been riddled with punitive consequences, usually unrelated to the offense. She calls the team leaders, herself and the pricipa
Gaiman, Neil. Illustrations by Dave McKean. The Wolves in the Walls . Harper Collins. 2003. The eerily decorated jacket and pitch black endpapers, along with just the title The Wolves in the Walls, attracted me to this book. Each page looks as if it has been pasted together using multiple mediums in a charmingly awkward way. The dark and mismatched i
BS Even Disney movies are riddled with undertones that reinforce negative stereotypes about all kinds of people. How is that teaching compassion? It's not. It is showing kids (specifically refering to Disney movies now as one example) that people (animals, characters, whatever) that are evil are going to be from another country or African American (usually). This doesn't even teach tolerance, let alone compassion for others. There are a lot of
Just because your daughter brings home literature and people come in to talk about conflict resolution doesn't mean that she is actually learning to be compassionate. She probably is if you show her how to be, though. That's what a lot of kidsaren't shown, for whatever reason of which there are many. We'd be a more peaceful nation if people were taught how to be more compassionate than we are right now.
Everywhere but in the modernized world, where its teaching are much more moderate, young Muslims are taught in school that all non-Muslims should be killed in the same way we are taught that we need to be compassionate to those different from us. For the most part, people in the US are not taught to be
Yeah, it's their event. They still lied about why they were making them leave, just like they lie about most everything.
The Democratic Party wouldn't be listening to third party issues. The Democratic Party has more liberal views than the Republican Party (barely) but they don't make things worse, generally. So if enough (more and more) people vote for the Democratic Party over and over again, that means that the popluation is generally becoming more left. So then likely, more and more people are voting for a third party, like say the Green Party as they see the so
BS He swore at a sales lady who overreacted. Again, Anyway, swearing aside, the point was that when they were escorted out of the convention, the reason they were given was that they looked conspicuous. It was a flat out lie. The officials knew that they couldn't escort them out because they swore at anoth
In talking, I've heard two philosopies about how to pull a third party into the picture. The first is to vote third party. And continue voting third party as the percentages rise. The second is to vote for one of the two parties. Of course, you'd vote for the one that is most like the third party that you would have voted for. It's like a successive approximation. Keep voting for the party that can win now that looks the b
Where to land when the only thing significant is the feeling of grass on your skin Noticing one feature of an infinite amount Seeking the passing breeze for its moment, the moment For a covering of water Loving the drying drips for the way the beads roll Knowing their tracks leave burns To fall off the roof And know the feeling of the pavem
BS If your brother doesn't like Bush, why is he hanging out at a Republican "meeting"? My brother stays informed. He listens to all he can hear from every perspective as much as he can. He's an information addict. He was at the convention to hear the discussion. Just because he doesn't lik
I find this humorous. This weekend, my brother and his good friend, a firefighter, went a meeting of the republicans in their city. They had recieved the tickets for free from the fire department and decided it would be at least an interesting experience. Before sitting down, they were looking around at the stands that were set up selling Bush g
