Elvira's Waterfall
If you're reading a book or thinking, showing emotion will mean people will think something is wrong with you, but if you're doing something with other people: "Are you okay?", "I'm boring you, aren't I", "Did I say something...?". It's impossible to keep on top of :(
I think the song expresses the conflict between the desire for fame and need for tranquility. The speaker criticises modern society in "Passion... for more", which I would say is a metaphor for anyone deemed attractive from celebrities in the media to followers of fashion being pressured until they cannot take it anymore or lose some part of themselves.
I've never heard anyone say a good thing about Fox. Of course, as an outsider I don't watch Fox, the only times I hear of this particular broadcaster is an article about how ridiculous they are. Which could account for my bias against them.
I don't think it really matters, but I don't like the saying very much so I'm on this side, yay. Some Christians find it really offensive for anyone to 'take God's name in vain' so I don't think people should say it, atheist or not. I really hate the textspeak OMG, and how it is used in designs aimed at teenagers. I personally don't understand why anyone would wear a t-shirt with something that is not only tasteless, but offensive on it.
Side: I actually used to say "Oh I say" when I was in primary school because I grew up reading Enid Blyton books which were written in the 4/50's. I now use "Ye gods" (Discworld). The outside world isn't a thing.
Ritual Seppuku, because: "From ages past it has been considered an ill-omen by samurai to be requested as kaishaku. The reason for this is that one gains no fame even if the job is well done. Further, if one should blunder, it becomes a lifetime disgrace.
"In the practice of past times, there were instances when the head flew off. It was said that it was best to cut leaving a little skin remaining so that it did not fly off in the direction of the verifying officials."
As it can be imagined that the head would fly off into the spectators, landing in someone's lap, with the eyes staring creepily up at them.
American policeman swear on duty? I'm shocked. :)
The video was actually quite interesting, it makes me want to repeat the study in different locations and write a paper on how racism differs between different states or countries, and maybe explore different variables such as gender, age, dress sense, model of car. A study of suspiciousness. Oh dear...

If it was a choice: are we all born bisexual and then choose to be either straight or gay? Why would anyone choose to be gay, anyway? There is no reason to. Gay people are discriminated against at varying levels around the world, from cyber-bullying to execution.
As in any war, any side. The British pretty much invented the term concentration camp (Second Boer war). The Americans put many innocent citizens of their own country who just happened to have a japanese ancestry into concentration camps during the war, some of which were fashioned out of horse stables. (The hrses were killed to make room for the people) My point is that all sides in any war will commit atrocities. Using civilians to test out a nuclear bomb on though? That's taking too far too far.
