It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?
I didnt' really have room to write more about what the term "raise better kids" would entail, but obviously ti would mean getting to the root of why these people are mad. That's why I mentioned the need for mental counseling, which is sorely needed in a world where parents don't bother to find out why their kids are upset and don't or won't see the red flags in front of them.
Yes the problem is much wider than this limited space can give a voice to. But you won't solve the problems of the world by trying to throw one size fits all solutions onto the situation and attempting to look at the forest but not the trees. You can't conquer a global problem by a global solution, it requires one on one kind of treatment, and has to start at home or in school.
That's not necessarily true. My cousin is the nicest person you could meet, he was a programmer who tinkered around with a package delivery tracking system, and Fexex bought him out for almost 2 billion. He became one of our wealthiest citizens overnight. And he's amazing, he doesn't exploit people and he is not a bad person by any definition.
Oh I don't dispute that, I couldn't list all the names that I'm sure were involved in making Windows a viable system. I think a lot of them did make tons of money, at least I hope so. I don't mean to suggest one man invented the whole thing by himself.
My question is if no one man is worth a billion dollars - why are athletes worth several million. Unions aside, I know these people would be playing their sport even if nobody paid them at all. And I'm not saying they don't work hard. I just don't see how anything one person does in sports is worth several millions of dollars a year.
Well I agree, that's actually why I mentioned Bill Gates. He does a give a lot back in philanthropic enterprises and also just to give to charities. And I agree that is something you should do if you have more money than God and King Midas combined.
I know I remember seeing a documentary about all this and how surgeons who frequently did autopsies at that time would often cut themselves, develop a fever and die from septic shock, never having learned that they maybe should wash their hands after playing with dead tissue. Germ theory wasn't even a theory then, because people didn't have any idea there could be such a thing as germs.
It makes me wonder what would people in the Renaissance or middle ages say, if we were to travel back in time and talk about dinosaurs. I'm sure they'd lock us up as mentally ill. How could there ever have been such a thing as gigantic mega-lizards walking around on earth!
From the micro to the macroscopic it's funny how we humans always have to learn things very slowly and only after making many incorrect assumptions.
I'm sure of that too. It's 76 today in the middle of December, where in past years it's usually been 30. - what could be weird about that? My conclusion from all this earth getting warmer nonsense is, people should ignore it and learn to live with less clothes on.
Hmmm not sure what I would do with TWO double male plugs. I don't have that many people in my bed at once. : / Ummmm you should probably ignore that whole sentence.....
But the important thing is, they should be FLYING not merely levitating! Levitation is the opiate of the weak!!! or something. In the future, everything should be flying around indiscriminately at top speed!! TOP SPEED, DAMMIT!!! I want to zoom into the nearest brick wall as fast as possible! Also, I want my anti-gravity toast!!! I'm tired of having to keep my breakfast down by myself.
We did this test with petri dishes in my high school biology course where we had students wash their hands, air dry them or use paper towel dispensers or air-blower dryers, and compared all the results. Oddly enough the paper towel and air drying alone both resulted in lots of bacteria growing in the dishes. I'm not sure how effective those paper towels are - or if it's just that kids don't know how to wipe their hands!
They tried to teach people to use hovercraft, and it was a miserable failure. There are so many more controls with that, and people just couldn't get it right. I shudder to think about putting people into flying cars, especially when they already drive under the influence most of the time.
Well when you think that our adult bodies have more foreign bacteria in them than human cells, it's pretty amazing we can even move, or walk or talk. We're kind of walking bacteria bombs. Maybe our systems get used to being overloaded with bugs and so, that feels normal to us.
Actually I wrote that because I am not new to this stuff at all. Just kind of fed up with always getting called names just because sometimes I post things that arent the most popular view or are different ways of looking at things. I'm OK with people saying "I don't agree" if they can explain why without also adding "you idiot" or "you fucking idiot" onto the end. I try to be civil, but am always surprised how people respond with uncalled for name calling.
I can see where it's not just tempting but seems necessary sometimes, but all you're gonna do is bait the person into a useless bout of name calling back and forth.
That's exactly what I am being. Because Watterson went to such great lengths to try to keep his creations from being misused and mass marketed to sell other products. And also, it's a line from the Simpsons - Moe says, "If you could get me a decal of Calvin peein' on Hobbes, that would be great!" Well - it's funny in a kind of sad way if you think about it.
My fave is the cartoon where Calvin is busy hammering nails into the dining table. His mom rushes in and screams, "Calvin, what are you DOING??" And he looks at the table, then at her and says, "Is this a trick question?" I can identify as being that kind of kid.
No because I'm not willing to be put on a CPAP device. I suffer from bleeding throat due to an unnaturally dry throat, and I cannot tolerate any air forced down my airway. I probably DO have sleep apnea, but I don't have the usual symptoms of it, I simply usually just feel restless in bed and unable to feel sleepy at all. I go to bed late, you'd think I'd be worn out enough to sleep, but I just lay there. When i do sleep, it's all nightmares and I don't get any rest from that anyway.
8 ) I love this. It's so true! I don't really understand why anyone would voluntarily join twitter or be a part of it anymore. It seems like a deliberate act of self sabotage and self hate.
I remember that meme. I was just being over-explaining as usual. I also hope most people don't want to eat poo poo for many health-related reasons. Yet I see so much "dung" shaped food these days, candies and chocolate shaped like piles of poo (looking like edible poo emojis) - what are we encouraging our kids to eat when we give them "reindeer poop" candy??
I'm gay, and I'm very happy to be gay, but I don't really get what the term "gay" is about. When I was younger, I was straight, but then I met a guy who was a person I happened to fall in love with, and that's when I realized what I was all about. I don't really know what "gay" means other than that I am same-sex attracted, because I'm so much more as a person than just a sexual orientation. For example, I have two degrees in music theory and a masters in English, and have spent many years as a filmmaker, and a writer. So I don't really define myself through my sexual behavior, those some males do and I have no problem with that, to each his own is what I say.
Right. And I tell you this, most of the time most guys have pretty clean asses (from my experience). In fact usually the armpits or even the other body parts have odors but that part of the body doesn't (in my own experience). I realize other people's mileage may vary.
Well they say (this is gross but) they say that "ass is the new cunt." Sorry for the NSFW language. I've noticed in men's magazines that ass is a particular focus these days (yes I've seen it for myself). And I love it, personally. I think that it's high time the heiny was given it's due regard.
Your fake sympathy is misplaced and misguided, to no surprise. I'm not poor, and I'm not even all that interested in you or your comments. But, I have said I'm gay over and over again and I march in every Pride parade - it's hardly a secret, I'm very proud of who I am. If I seem high and mighty, it's only because I am. I am the great I am - I am the greatest person to ever exist!
That's true from what I've read. Baldness actually can result from too much testosterone, and often bald men are very "hung" also. And the same with men with very curly hair - the curliness is a sign of high levels of testosterone (I've read). I've also noticed it to be true in real life (as a gay male) - curlier hair usually also meant better hung for some reason.
Does France have a terrorism problem?
It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?

Would you rather be bald, or have great hair but be unable to orgasm properly?
Please don’t say neither (that’s not an option)
