Gee whiz never take inflation rates as anything more than a monthly measure ….. measuring it by decade paint a picture of 400 % or more inflation
But our candidates never supports anything but the measure in monthly quarterly and annual growth — which is good enough for me because my guy— never mentions it —– really I assumed it didn’t matter and I shouldn’t pay any attention to it at all
Just because you know that birth rate demographics severely impacted society the economy along with wages and expectations — in times gone past —- the baby boomers
That is absolutely no reason to discuss it today . What about the birth rates here and now — Can’t we look ahead and discuss it reasonably ? Does the mere mention of it always have to be the hate filled ranting of groups dedicated to killing someone or something ?
Every time those people are given the stage — they serve as the boogey man that justifies a dull sleeping society to ban the subject completely — The question can no longer be asked talked about or even mentioned without hate filled rants
Are there more or less whites blacks immigrants indigenous people ? When asked more people are comming into or leaving XYZ religion and what do they say their main reason is for staying or going ?
How many blacks got sickle cell how many Jews got tazzacs —It either IS or it IS NOT —But you can’t ask if someone yells something obscene
Are you happy with the amount of power you gave someone who yells obscenities — Or were you wearing a blind fold trusting the leaders that they would guide all of us in manner that would suit us all and therefore there was no reason to participate in the outcome of your own society
If you don’t participate — and leave that void — someone will sooner or later fill it
Are we there now ?
Did you vote for the put your blind folds on and follow me candidate again ?
If left in your hands —- would war be your very first thought — Or self sustaining free and independent growth that supplied the needs of all ?
What would you write for the story of tomorrow’s society if it were left to you instead of the blindfold party candidate ?
I voted (twice, 1992/1996) Ross for Boss!
Never voted for a Bush or a Reagan.
I like Jimmy Carter!
So no, I didn’t/never have vote(d) for the "Blindly Follow Me" candidate.
he’s ugly, his voice just kinda makes me sick to think of doing stuff with him.. And he’s over weight. I dont want any answers like DONT DO IT, and stuff like that. I’ve made a deal, its a long story, so i’m going to do it.. How can i make myself not think about his looks and weight..? I was thinking maybe A blindfold.. ? lol
F***K OFF TROLL
I read it, a man, up in a room. Can’t control everything I do.
But what do I know? What do I know?
And if the story of the man isn’t true, Then tell me what I should do?
Should I take off the blindfold?
Or do what I’m told?
I think you should ask a question and stop wasting my time!
So i’m writing a story.
And basically, my lead guy Andi is secretly blind.
And the lead girl Sarah doesnt realise this until half way through the story.
I’m writing a dream sequence here where Sarah dreams she is blindfolded by Andi.
I want this dream sequence to not mean anything right now but I want it to subconsiously foreshadow the future plot. (the reader finding out Andi is blind and the dream meaning that Andi is showing Sarah what its like not to be able to see and not being able to imagine anything new as her imagination is based upon memories and things that she has already seen)
But I don’t seem to be getting anywhere with it right now. =/
I want Sarah to feel what is feels like to be blind.
And I want the reader to feel blind with Sarah, in the sense that the reader doesnt understand what the chapter/dream sequence is about.
any help will do (:
critisism is appreciated
here it is:
“Sarah, that’s twice.” he groaned.
“Then stop counting.” I smirked.
The sun was high in the sky. Birds, scattered themselves across the ocean above, and sang to one another lovingly. Clouds hugged tightly, morphing into whatever a viewers imagination could compose.
“Sarah!”
“Ok, ok, sorry, I’ll stop it.” I tried to contain my laughter as I closed my eyes once more.
“Now this time, really, no peeking!”
“Ok, I promise.” he placed the black blindfold around my eyes for the fourth time, secured it tightly but not uncomfortably tight.
He helped me to my feet.
“Hold still, now.” he ushered.
I outstretched my arms in front of me, and opened and held out my hands. I felt a cold breeze rush through the gaps in my fingers, dancing around my fingertips. I inhaled deeply and stared into darkness.
My imagination could compose nothing new. All I could do was relive previous memories, as I felt the rush of wind through my hair, whistling delicately as it passed my ears.
It’s a bit too easy-to-understand and straight-forward for a dream. It needs to be more confusing and make less sense. Try to focus more on what’s happening than their suroundings.
Okay, so if you have been following my MIkaela, Janessa, stories, then this one will be good.Based on true stories, my girlfriend Mikaela has been acting very strangely lately, this is CSI, these are their stories lol haha jk but yeah here you go:
So, I am laying in bed, the walls feel as if they are closing in on me, the shadows skip from wall to wall blushing from the glaring of the moonlight peering through the cracks in my blindfolds. My breathing is soft yet constant.
MIkaela: "You have already done this to me before you push the ones you care about away"
I just roll my eyes in pure disgust, she does not understand that I need to end my life because I feel as if it is not worth living anymore. I do not want to live my life a failure, I did not graduate from highschool this year and I am very disappointed in myself. I know I could have tried harder but I didn’t and I am paying the price, in yet.
"I do not care Mikaela, I hate my life and my parents and I just want to die, ugghh, why dont u just leave me the *uck alone, I hate you, your so stupid…."
The anger built inside of me like lava in a volcano, the rate at whiched I breathed began to increase, my nostrils flared in frustration.
Meanwhile, I was having phone sex with this girl Janesa I was talking to: I am sorry, I must fastforward to our main conversation for some of the details are too explicit for Yahoo answers community. Thank you.
"Hey baby how are you doing?"
Janessa: I am doing good baby, I missed you, were you thinking about me, I hope you were, I have a surprise for you this weekend baby, maybe you could..or I could come over??"
I knew what was going to go down. I was all for it and Mikaela just couldn’t get the message.
"Hell yeah baby, you can come over my house, my moms doesn’t get in until very late so maybe we could uhmm have a little fiesta in my room, what you think…?"
I smiled myscheviously, knowing that sex was only a few days away. How could I have known that she could be so fiesty yet sensitive to my needs?
"Oooh baby, ur krazy, u want me to bring condoms?"
Let’s see here: Condoms, or no condoms, feel less or feel more…hmm…
"Nahhh, no condoms, I wanna feel everything, all of you baby, quiero estar tu papichulo en la cama, baby, going to give it to you nice and slow…."
Meanwhile back to the conversation with MIkaela:
Me: "And I just cannot take it anymore. I am going to either use acetaminophen overdose which will kill my liver…yeah i did my homework…and umm I guess cutting I do not know…"
"You always do this, you push people away who just want to help you..and what you are doing is selfish do you know that? What about us? I thought we werre going to spend the rest of our lives together. I wanna help you but you won’t let me in."
I could hear her sobs over the receiver. My resolve was undettered.
I sighed and just took the receiver away from my ear, laying on my bed in utter silence staring up at the blankness of the ceiling.
"Well, whatever, I am going to do this, I hate you, your such a (really bad explicit language I am sure you can guess) ,,,,I am loosing your number, go away, oh yeah, I am going to have sex with Janessa this weekend, so…"
Mikaela: You don’t hate me. Hahahahaha. Your just saying that so you can push me away and then it will be easier for you to kill yourself in the end. I am not stupid. I still love you.
Me: Well I hate you, and I am going to have sex with her, I AM CHEATING on you, break up with me, any normal girl would.!!!"
Mikaela: I told you, I am not leaving you no matter what happens. I will always be there for you and hahaha better use protection and be careful you might get some kind of rare disease haha."
I rolled my eyes.
Me: Whatever MIkaela, your dumb, you know what I am doing and you still will not break up with me, what is wrong with you?"
"Nothing, what the hell is wrong with you?
End.
Okay, so summarize:
I am suicidal and depressed.
I told Janessa but she just said, "Well fine, I give up, I cannot stop you so yeah," (Then we began to talk sex)
I told Mikaela I was cheating on her with Janesa and to leave me alone, but she wouldn’t and it began to annoy me, "I love you Denmark, and what you are doing is selfish and go ahead, have sex with that female dog, I do not care"
What is wrong here?
Do I need help?
Will Mikaela ever learn to leave me?
What about Janessa?
What role does she play in all of this?
Teenage love.18 years old.
i didnt read ur bulshit story it 2 long but ur a sadoo u need help go get counceling by da way if u realy was a suicidal u wdnt b typing dis long bulshitt story u would killed ur self by now grow up n stop wasting our time
But what do I know?
What do I know?
And if the story of the man isn’t true
Then tell me what should I do
Should I take off the blindfold?
Or just do what I’m told?

Hassan my dear, I think you & I need to write a book. I love all your ideas…so many easy ways to make someone feel loved and most don’t cost a thing. I see why all those Pisces women (including me) love you….you’re a one in a million!!
Long ago there lived an old woman who had a wish. She wished more than anything to see for herself the difference between heaven and hell. The monks in the temple agreed to grant her request. They put a blindfold around her eyes, and said, "First you shall see hell."
When the blindfold was removed, the old woman was standing at the entrance to a great dining hall. The hall was full of round tables, each piled high with the most delicious foods — meats, vegetables, fruits, breads, and desserts of all kinds! The smells that reached her nose were wonderful.
The old woman noticed that, in hell, there were people seated around those round tables. She saw that their bodies were thin, and their faces were gaunt, and creased with frustration. Each person held a spoon. The spoons must have been three feet long! They were so long that the people in hell could reach the food on those platters, but they could not get the food back to their mouths. As the old woman watched, she heard their hungry desperate cries. "I’ve seen enough," she cried. "Please let me see heaven."
And so again the blindfold was put around her eyes, and the old woman heard, "Now you shall see heaven." When the blindfold was removed, the old woman was confused. For there she stood again, at the entrance to a great dining hall, filled with round tables piled high with the same lavish feast. And again, she saw that there were people sitting just out of arm’s reach of the food with those three-foot long spoons.
But as the old woman looked closer, she noticed that the people in heaven were plump and had rosy, happy faces. As she watched, a joyous sound of laughter filled the air.
And soon the old woman was laughing too, for now she understood the difference between heaven and hell for herself. The people in heaven were using those long spoons to feed each other.
I find this a great story, Hell is nothing more then a place without God’s love. What do you think?
Im Christian, I know hell is a terrible place.
I imagine heaven filled with naked women feeding me grapes, and hell overcrowded with atheists.

"Chief among the complaints is delaying the return of more than 250,000 displaced Tamils"
CSM needs to verify numbers because at my last count there were 220K in IDP Camps and over another 5,000 IDPs from Tamil, Muslim and Sinhala backgrounds were resettled yesterday.
Family reunification continues as appropriate depending on clearances and separation of combatants from non-combatants.
"Last Friday, President Mahinda Rajapaksa announced he would ensure the return of all refugees by January"
Actually, what President Rajapaksa said was that his target was to have 70% of IDPs resettled by the end of January.
"The government said Mr. Elder, who had said recently that the island’s monsoon rains would cause chaos in the camps, was "spreading propaganda"
The propoganda that Mr. Elder was spreading were comments related to the "months of hell" that children and combatants had to endure prior to reaching IDP facilities without any consideration for the THIRTY years of hell that they had to face at the hands of the LTTE and its recruitment and indoctrination wing - including that by fellow Aussie "Aunty" Adele Balasingham, a nurse from down under that taught women and children to be underage soldiers, suicide bombers and to take cyanide instead if surrendering - our rehab camps are full of young women who tell the stories of "Aunty" Adele.
"Treating every Tamil as a terrorist?"
We are certainly not treating every Tamil as a terrorist and in fact there are more Tamils that live in areas outside of the North and East and these people also have been terrorized, run out of their communities by LTTE and its affiliate organizations. We are daily discovering influx of LTTE from overseas, movements within and outside of IDP camps and huge stockpiles of weaponry.
""It seems absolutely racist, to treat every Tamil as if he was a potential member of the Tamil Tigers," says Suhas Chakma of the Delhi-based Asian Center for Human Rights."
Asian Center for Human Rights knows much better than casting such aspersions on Sri Lanka for this is patenty untrue.
"Only days before Mr. Rajapaksa’s comment, British television aired a video that apparently showed soldiers killing unarmed, naked, and blindfolded Tamils – which would constitute a serious violation of international law – during the last and bloodiest phase of the war."
There have been 3 independent studies done on this video and thay have all proved that the backstory, timeline and other details do not add up including elements of editing, date stamp VO and SOT.
"The footage was obtained by Journalists for Democracy in Sri Lanka, an organization made up of several dozen expatriate Sri Lankan journalists, which said the film was taken by a Sri Lankan soldier in January using his mobile phone." Even the edited version shown on British television as "original" video has a date stamp that does not correspond to the January time frame, the original on Asian Tribune indicates that language spoken by "soldiers" is Tamil, the investigation provided to the Sri Lanka government shows that there has been sound editing, discrepancy in regulation uniform and that the footage was not shot using a camera phone.
http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2009/09/20/new02.asp
3 studies by three different organizations have all proved major credibility gaps for both Journalists for Democracy and the video itself. There is also historical references of LTTE commiting such vile propoganda techniques.

Why didn’t Tamils for Obama write a letter to Raj Ratnam???
