Society & Culture - 16 October 2006

From our childhood, we are asked questions like

What is our favorite color. What is our favorite movie genre. Do you believe or not believe in god.

When given a limited number of choices, we feel pressured to choose one to be able to define ourselves and appear assertive.

I personally think some questions in life do not and cannot be answered because 1, we do not have enough information and 2, when our choices are limited, our decision is not based on logic but by what feels right.

What is your opinion?

I just made up jibberish because i wanted test the credibility of interpreters and speaking in tongues. The interpereter made up all kinds things about what I was saying when I just just making weird noises I used to make as a kid. That is not right to pretend to be an interpreter of god. is quite discusting of churches, actually!

The war gene ?

They lead from the back ?

If there is a propensity to war by way of genetics, we do not eliminate this gene by sending soldiers to war instead of those who desire it.

We are a democracy...we elect representatives to govern, and sometimes 'they' decide to go to war...LET THEM LEAD.

We loose one leader, we can elect another, or at least the runner up.

In the last American election there was a 50% split in popular vote, so we know who will be the second leader...we don't know if he or she will want to continue the war leading from the front ?

I mean, I like to wear diapers and then soil them. It feels good. What's the problem? Why don't women like that?

Just because my hair is pink and I wear an earring doesn't mean I'm gay, I'm straighter than a nail. I have some gay friends but I don't have feelings for them.

Everybody wants to feel as though they have contributed to our culture, there is nothing wrong with that! But why do black people want to start a new trend, word, craze, every two months? Like, they say they Americans don't let them fit in, but insist on having their own way of dress, mannerisms and dialect, WAY different than ALL assimilated, second-generation ethnicities in the U.S., and when someone like Eminem comes along they dislike him (And no, that's not just the way rap is). And the funniest thing by far is, their "white women we rule" thing...lol Even though it is funny, date who you want, but realize two things...firstly, compared to other second-generation ethnicities in America, by percentage of said ethnicities IN America, dating and marrying white women, they're WAY at the bottom of the RULE list...secondly, realize everyone dates. Why so much emphasis on being the "coolest" or "tightest" or whatever word you will make up next week for what you want to people in Ame

My top ten list is based on the number of good songs recorded by each artist.or group. (That's the number beside each name.)

The Joe Marzen Musical Hall of Fame (JMMHF)

Top Ten List

(As of 10/16/06)

The Beatles - 313
Paul Simon - 219
Beach Boys - 88
Stevie Wonder - 74
David Bowie - 61
Bob Dylan - 58
The Rolling Stones - 44
John Lennon - 34
Elton John - 29
Jimi Hendrix - 28


(Note: The Paul Simon category includes recordings from Simon's years with Simon and Garfunkel. I did this because Garfunkel is a glorified back up singer who never contributed anything of value. Had I seperated the two Paul Simon would still retain his number two position on the chart.)

As far as similarities, Blacks and gays are seen as things to target in society, but gay is less harsh than being called a ni#@%r or burning crosses (a sacraligious act), being not only beat, but lynchd over a long recent period of time is not fair.I've come to a conclusion why people (mostly white that start these rumors) percieve blacks as gay.Society needed a new target to forget what they did, instead of resolving the previous issue of the black community with solutions.Is that why men immulate women, because they think they look like men.So, they feel they must be more than half of a women than a man.Thus, think men could look feminine, since some black women look masculine in white men' eyes, even though bw don't claim to be a man and live as women.WM percieve this vice versa with finding some black men as more feminine than masculine.Thus, connecting gay to black.Ps. Black women have a little more muscle in arms than white women, but that doesn't make us your subject for judging

I'm trying to find a latin phrase that translates closely to 'Peaceful Revolution'.

Pax Pacis : peace, truce, treaty
Insurgo: to rise up, rebel, revolt
Insurgi: to rise up, rebel, revolt
Insurrectum: to rise up, rebel, revolt

I'm not sure if Pax Pacis is the best term for what I'm trying to express, and I'm not sure about Latin syntax i.e. which word would come first, I'm assuming Insurgo or one of those terms would come first followed by the adjective.

Can anyone help?

why do we do this, why not just ignore religious questions if you're not religious and ignore non-religious (which i mean questions that insult religious people) questions if you're religious. im no hippie or anything, but why would you insult them anyways? why not keep your thought to yourself? i bet you anything that somebody may even insult me and my question, although it's no religious question, i still think someone is going to.

Cult-feminism is the term I give to the manipulation of logic and truth to lie.

For example: "Stop violence against women' is a half-truth that polarizes the real issue of abuse. The model should read, "STOP THE ABUSE OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN" Cult feminists employ the deceptive part-of-the-truth that has divided Americans.

While Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a very well educated person, 'education' is part of the problem, as most people of the last 30 years have been 'educated' to believe these malicious half-truths.

While we must concerned with all politicians, what really is behind this Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the war in the Middle East that has cost American people many lives.

I Afghanistan, 489 coalition deaths, in Iraq there has been been 3,004 coalition deaths, 2,770 Americans, consisting of 2,649 men and 57 women. Not to mention the over 400,000 civilans, men, women and children.
