Easy, guys... It's a debate, not a fight. It's starting to look like the latter from the last few posts. People have their own point of view and they can express it on how they want. Either republican or democrat, and also... You shouldn't be provoking each other either. *looking at last few posts* Anyway, I'm just happy it's working out, Obama's already working hard and fast to change things.
*waves from seat at work* Have to be quick and can't debate, but whether you're Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative really doesn't matter at this point. We're in a war that is being compared to Vietnam, the all-feared D word was mentioned yesterday. (If you know what that is, you get a cookie.) And the banks are still asking for help despite even in their own words openly admitting spending that money on things they shouldn't have. And yes, I was against the bailout because on either side, left or right, I knew they were going to get away with murder. This moment is significant for any religion, any race, anyone who is not a white male in the United States. Because this dream was given to everyone who said: "No we can't." There's still work to be done, but it gives so many people hope where they haven't had any for years, it even gave me some that I gave up on a long time ago. Yesterday wasn't about politics, it wasn't about religion, race, gender or anything of that kind, it was giving a second breath to a nation that has been crippled for so long by so many problems.
Ugh... Laptop crashed, I'll get the pics soon. And Neku's my fave.
*kicks computer* It died. >> I finally got on the library one. vv Hoping to get another lappy soon.
You coders need to get out of the hole more often. :P I've been kicking around for months.
Heya guys... I'll post pics soon. :D
I think it's around eighty dollars. It's near impossible to find, I saw it once and never have found it again. It's on my Christmas list, I love the look of it.
Like everyone said, it's worth every penny. I bought it after several friends recommend it and I played through it in a week. It was that good. The characters, plot and gameplay are excellent, and the music isn't my type of thing and I still loved it. It's one of the best games out there.
Asburgers is sorta like Autism, ADHD, there's two types, I have the rarer kind where you can't concentrate and stare into space a lot. And a learning disability. That's what I know about it, my mom thinks that's what I have.
I have a learning disability and have full control of myself, thank you. I also have autism and maybe ADHD. Don't label kids with mental disabilities as "unpredictable". There are varying degrees, and he maybe couldn't have controlled his actions, but I know that if I ever did that or anyone else who did anything like that, they would get in trouble. I grew up with emotional problems sometimes, and I never threw anything or did anything like that to anyone. Neither did all the kids I knew in special ed, even the temperamental ones. He could've had a more severe disability, but don't label everyone as "unpredictable" who are mentally disability. I agree with the post above. She seemed to be shaking the kid. Also, that seemed to be supervised before that and he probably at least knew he was doing something wrong. On another note, my cousin is very violent and I wouldn't put it past him to behave like this kid in the video. Or even worse. He's never been tested for any disabilities, though. It doesn't mean that he doesn't have it, but he would do the same thing and get mad and hit the driver for her shaking him.
From what it sounds like, they were trying to see if the kid could behave on his own for the first time. The kid, mentally ******ed or not, could have been planning it or was just being mean. There all all levels of disabilities, and he could be smart enough to have waited for when they didn't monitor him. Or he could have done it for the hell of it, or his disability, there's a thousand different reasons. In any case, he shouldn't have been doing that, and the driver shouldn't tolerate it. Note: All drivers by law can't physically touch a child while they're in the bus. This includes gang fights, bullying, and other things. A kid has been beaten to near death by a broom once on a school bus and the driver couldn't do anything. Whether or not this is going to be an exception, who knows. But she had a right to shake him, I don't know if she choked him, it's hard to see.
This is a opinion area, they're allowed their own opinion, Sorcerer.
How do you stop a Christian extremist from kicking their kid out on the street for getting pregnant as a teen? How do you stop parents from not allowing their daughter to have an abortion of the same kid when physically she's not ready to carry one? How do you stop a person from believing that they should donate thousands of dollars a year to a church based on the belief that it'll give you passageway to heaven? People have done heaven's gate, a ritual where you basically kill yourself all in a mass suicide. They've done a religion where you tried to overthrow the government, which ended up with a lot of people dead. This was all within the United States. I won't touch the Mormon group, I like the group, don't like the polygamists. Think about it this way: Bush's biggest supporters was the religious right because of gay marriage and abortion, McCain had the biggest group also from that group. They're considered the largest religious group out there, mostly evangelicals and born again, like my dad. My aunt did believe that the last days were upon us because Obama was running. When he won, she was hospitalized from the news. She's out now, fyi. This came basically from the religious right, she believed everything she was told. It is scary, but you have to see a few things here: One, there's always going to be extremists. In any religion. Two, you can't change their beliefs once it's deeply embedded in them. Unless they decide to change, no one else can. People can't change or stop what is so deeply embedded, the people won't believe anything else, or your life will be endangered for trying to stop it. To comment on the last post... The death sentence was made from the bible. An eye for an eye is basically where the death sentence comes from. Crusades came from spreading their religion, and god-knows what else. It's not the religion that's the problem, it's people.
25... *pets kitten sleeping on chest*
There is very few cases where someone is fully evil. Some act like they don't have a conscience, some act like they only care about themselves, and some do true evil things when you wonder why. It's not religion, it's not race, it's not a disability, it could be anything that triggers someone to be evil. There is only a very few cases where the trigger happens and there's no reason why. There is no pure evil, as there is no pure good. It might be hard to find, but it will be there. I remember in a show called Joan of Arcadia where the main character asked God if one of the bullies was pure evil. He said that it's very hard to reach that end of the spectrum, and when you do, you're turned into a monster, cruel, uncaring demon-like things. All along the ways, these people can be helped but are mostly ignored. I believe in that. Evil is seen every day, but the question is, who is there to stop it or help that person who does the evil?
For. Every. Frigging. Question. "Well, when Joe the Plumber gets to the point where he earns 250,000 dollars, he will be affected by the taxes Obama is giving." Yeah, that's what all the people who are plumbers, make pizzas, and everything else is going to make soon. I have a very high demand degree that is in business, that will give me at the most, seventy thousand when I start. I might reach that quarter million at some point, but not in the next four years. McCain just did a poorly run campaign. He did a great concession speech. My mom said if he said stuff like that all along, she'd vote for him. He was rash in some cases, Palin basically was the last straw, kept on changing tactics, and did a lot of dirty work against Obama, which honestly, I was sick of. Bush did that enough for me, thank you very much. He wasn't even speaking to Palin at the end of the campaign. All in all, he just kept on making the situation worse for him and lost a vast amount of people in the process. Come back in eight years, yes, after Obama's done, and run it like you did that concession speech. You most likely would win. To kill the race thing once and for all: The South for the most part except for the more educated and black counties, voted against Obama because he was black. The South was one of the biggest influences to elections and are now losing that reputation for this election year. Something to think about.
I never linked him to Bush, not fully. I looked at the debates and the past. This is what I saw: Tax cuts by McCain for rich: - Didn't work under Bush, people didn't spend, they saved. Even my economists teachers encouraged that, or to go to a nice restaurant and save. It won't work again. Obama giving tax cuts to the middle class will help them save on oil, prices for homes, buying stuff, things that they need, buying stimulates an economy, you can't do that without money and not saving. McCain's policies: - Vague, he never gave a clear answer to any of the questions on what he did. He put Joe the Plumber so many times my mom was like: "Oh God, not him again..." At the end. When he was clear, it was old-fashioned and not for my tastes. Obama was clear and concise, giving direct answers and answering as fully as possible. Job market: - McCain had a good deal, but it would be specifically for some industries. Also, it was a long-term deal and would cause more environmental damage to a country that has enough. Obama offered what F.D.R. did, who is one of my biggest admirers not for WWII, or for the Depression, but HOW he fixed the economic crisis. He made jobs in the GOVERNMENT. He made a plan to plant trees, to build dams, to get things done that needed to be done. Obama is offering jobs in alternative sources in oil, which is a government research including windmills, solar, and who-knows-what else type of jobs, you need labor for that. War in Iraq: - People are dying over there, the world hates us for being in the war in the first place, and we're increasing more terrorists and another 9/11 because we keep on killing or bombing, torturing and whatever the hell else to not only the Iraqi's over there, but here also. We need to get the hell out of there before something does happen. And I'm saying this one. more. frigging. time. Afghanistan caused 9/11, they admitted it, we attacked with the worlds support, Iraq came two years later and everyone is still pissed. That's why I voted Obama. Some people do vote blindly, but that's on both sides, my aunt believes that Satan is going to destroy us all now and that Obama is going to cause another 9/11. She doesn't listen to anyone or anything else. That's from two sides of the parties. Even news reporters are commenting on how badly the republicans need to modernize and maybe even start to stop their own crisis.
We didn't have much of a chance under conservative rule with Bush either. I should point out. And Bush should I remind you played the fear campaign and crucified his opponents. It could've been a ton of different reasons, the republicans did lose some seats, but not a massive amount. The reason so many people wanted Obama at 18-36 is because his views, appeal to the age, and the fact that Bush and McCain don't appeal to that age group. And in the past, republicans HAVE been able to appeal to that group. Reagan, one of the biggest rightists I think in this quarter of a century about had a huge amount of support from everyone. Nixon was another huge example, because he wanted to end Vietnam, but people flocked to him. It depends on the president. And there will be cases when that happens, when someone ends up with a position of power for some reason that seems like it's inexcusable when there's a perfectly good reason for it. Same thing with senior citizens, they supported McCain. They hoped McCain would win, and I saw a lot of people behind McCain who were young also. It was a close race, yes, Obama looked better in a lot of cases, but this was last minute decision making. Even the officials were saying if McCain won the south like he did and some other factors, he could win. It was close in all counts. Obama just managed to make more appeal to win. Obama just had more.
I called it, FOX News. No idea if it's true or not, but I don't think Obama would associate himself with a group like that. Even if they were working independently, it's up to them. It's not Obama's fault.
True, but now we have a black president, Evil. What they're saying is it's possible to be a president regardless of race. While before it was all white and except for Kennedy who was catholic, Christian. And yes, I know it's a branch, but not the same. And people might not watch FOX, I don't, lol... It might be people are assuming the info is from FOX or another site like it because of the twists of info they give out.
