A young woman wrote poems praising Muslim Terrorists. Most of us wouldn't agree with the sentiments expressed but isn't this really a conviction for 'thought crime'?

my friend gave me a mini air compressor.he got it at a flea market with a bunch of other things,when he asked the guy,who was in his 60's,what it was he said it was an air brush.i have an air brush kit and it looks like it definitly could be one.the only part that i have though is the compressor and the glass jar with lid,that holds the paint.the name on it is HUDSON.it looks like its something from the early 50's.possibly made of stainless steel,has a handle above the electric motor/compressor and a glass jarr similar to an old canning jar,with a 2 piece metal cap.and there is i fitting bolted to the lid with 2 holes in the fitting and on the opposite side of the fitting are 2 very small tubes soddered to it that go down inside the glass jar.it plugs into a regular outlet/110 volt.like i said it works/pumps out air.have you seen one and since its old is it worth anything?

I know he is older but he is also pretty decent and I bet not very expensive. Just exploring the options here since it seems that any deal for Bay is over, with the Pirates wanting the Franklin mint and the Indians not putting that much value on Bay who is coming off knee problems and a bad year. Thoughts on Taguchi or who can fill in decently at LF? J-Mike does not cut it, Dellucci certainly does not cut it, Shin Soo Choo is a question mark...etc.
here is the lowdown on Taguchi

Diction refers to a writer’s choice of words. In some ways, this choice is like the appropriate selection of clothing. For example, normally you would not turn up at a wedding dressed in dungarees, at least not an ordinary wedding.
John L. Foster, the translator of these Egyptian love poems, made the following statement about his choice of words: “The diction should be unpretentiously colloquial, simple except when elevated by the power of strong feeling or slipping over into the sometimes slangy verbal patterns of irony or humor. The language should be conversational, quiet, the usages of personal and private speech; for those are the kinds of words for lovers.”

Wow, what a statement to make!!!!



First poem:

The Voice of the Swallow, Flittering, Calls to Me:
“Land’s alight! Whither away?”
No, little bird, you cannot entice me,
I follow you to the fields no more.
Like you in the dawn mist I rose,
at sunrise discovered my lover abed (his voice is sweeter).
“Wake,” I said, “or I fly with the swallow.”
And my heart smiled back
when he, smiling, said:
“You shall not fly,
nor shall I, bright bird.
But hand in hand
We shall walk the Nileside pathways,
under cool of branches, hidden
(only the swallows watching)-
Wide-eyed girl,
I shall be with you all glad places.”
Can you match the notes of that song, little swallow?
I am first in his field of girls!
My heart, dear sister, sings in his hand-
love never harmed a winged creature.

Second poem:

Your love, dear man, is as lovely to me
As sweet soothing oil to the limbs of the restless,

As clean ritual robes to the flesh of Gods,
As fragrance of incense to one coming home
Hot from the smells of the street.
It is like nipple-berries ripe in the hand,
Like the tang of grainmeal mingled with beer,
Like wine to the palate when taken with white bread.

While unhurried days come and go,
Let us turn to each other in quiet affection,
Walk in peace to the edge of old age.
And I shall be with you each unhurried day,
A woman given her wish: to see
For a lifetime the face of her lord.

Third poem:

I think I’ll go home and lie very still,
feigning terminal illness.
Then the neighbors will all troop over to stare,
my love, perhaps, among them.
How she’ll smile while the specialists
snarl in their teeth!
she perfectly well knows what ails me.

Do you agree with Foster’s statement about the correct diction for the following poems below? Why or why not?? Please do not provide me with references to each poem. Just tell me if you agree with foster’s statement about the correct diction for the following poems. And why?

This guy I previously dated keeps texting me random little messages. It didnt start until I moved on and now have a new boyfriend. But the weird part is that he also has a new girl. Why does he keep doing this? Is he trying to make sure I dont forget about him?

A lot of Democrats have said that the surge is working but most haven't changed their position on the war. However, candidates like Sen. Clinton, Sen Edwards or Gov. Richardson basically disapprove of the war because of their political agenda.

So would candidates like these people change their position on the war if most of the general public supported the war?

My wife dresses to kill. She also cooks the same way.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

I bought my wife a new car. She called and said, "There was water in the carburetor."
I asked her , "Where's the car?" She replied, "In the lake."

Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.

The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.

After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."
The husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months - I don't like to interrupt her.

My girlfriend told me I should be more affectionate. So I got myself two girlfriends.

A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it since the thief was spending much less than his wife did.

I'll be staying at Mandalay Bay for New Year's Eve, but plan on doing our festivities at the Palms. I went to Vegas a couple years ago for NYE, and the town was completely gridlocked in traffic. My question is, are there side streets (not the Strip) from Mandalay to get to the Palms via taxi?

I'm thinking of starting martial arts and was wondering if someone could provide suggestions for my situation. I'm a tall and thin teenager, in good physical condition and quite motivated. For now, the most time I could dedicate to it would be two nights of practice a week with some time spent at home. I'm pretty sure I would either like to study a stand-up or ground fighting style. I wouldn't like it to be too high impact, although I would like some form of contact to be involved. My goals with this are increased fitness, self-discipline and self-defense skills. Ideally, I would like an asian martial-art, for some reason this appeals to me. Finally, nothing too obscure, as I may not be able to find a school for it. All answers appreciated, please back up your responses to some degree.

On a P&S question, an answer is based on people's opinions. There's never a wrong opinion. I think I have stalker haters. A person can ask, "Do you like hamburgers?" & if you say yes, people give you thumbs down, & even if you say no. I think people treat P&S like a popularity contest.
