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...
As our carbon dioxide output a day is similar to that of a supervolcanic eruption ( http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/
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.
Darkness rise
Howl of the wolf
The dank surprise
Her hand drifts through
Midnight waters, sing,
Imperfect, torn shapes
Of slime ridden debris
From the living, the beautiful
The imperfect, the mortal
Rend her fair skin
And maybe in this laughing lake
There are tears
Darkness rise
Song of the light
Her shining eyes
Like Shallot, cry,
She lets her boat drift on
And stares with that
Beautiful empty stare
At the moon and her daughters
Her eyes flicked shut
Over quick blue diamonds
And she danced with the stars
In her isolated mind
Darkness rise
Keen of the weak
Those everlasting cries
Her dark, curled hair
Brings out miniscule lines
Of red order, crossing her face
Her wealthy, pristine pallor
To match her lotus dress
Which fell around her thin body
In a chaotic, yet alluring way
Yet in her mind
She danced in black
Darkness rise
Silence of the wise
Millennia dead ring the wooden sides, bay,
Of her floating stronghold
Gracelessly, she descends
Perfect armies lay waste to silk
Of her torn dress
And the mirror rises to allow
Besieged yet beautiful, silent yet screaming
The rushed imprints slurred in the sand
Trace her infernal race
To rest in his arms
To be also be sexist, women are traditionally better at handling money than men.

Second, Third et.c births are supposed to be a hell of a lot easier than the first, and take much less time, 3hours compared to 8-12 hours for the first. Also, women in poor countries are more likely oppressed- believing themselves inferior to men and that having children is their job, have no access to education and are uneducated. Births differ from woman to woman, but my family has a history of difficult births. Also, there is a high death/injury rate from childbirth in LEDC's (As I have said before, an average of 800 women die a day from childbirth) http://www.fistulafoundation.org/
You go through the most amount of pain a human has ever experienced without passing out for a long amount of time, so I'd say it's torture, and potentially fatal. (One of the options was the female role in keeping the child, the other was the absentee father paying child support)
going to become president of the US or something and save the world from a nuclear explosion (opinion).
Or it could be a psychotic serial killer, the next fascist dictator...
then? I mean, letting a woman have abortion is like letting her play god of some other person's life who was never born. What I mean is that you don't know if the person you are aborting will deserve life
Your actions have infinite consequences on you and other people, what of it?
Maybe the people who die will be the poor who can't afford to move or don't have access to media. And there's the animals who are completely blameless in this scenario, who will lose habitat etcetera. It's not all about rising sea levels due to heat expansion of water and land ice melting (the stuff about icebergs is complete nonsense, that's just a symptom- icebergs melting won't cause the sea levels to rise), there's also the problem of glaciers disappearing which means some communities will have to relocate or die out because there is no water(Nepal). Drought won't be too nice, either, in Africa conflicts are already beginning over water supplies (people have been killed).

And yet you hear about the businesses with their rich managers, while the government is slowly dying. Personal wealth could be an issue, possibly. In the UK we have a problem as well~ yet the government is happily spending away like there's no tomorrow on things we don't need. My school, for example. Top of the range computers- hundreds of them, a new technology block- there was nothing wrong with the old one, an Astroturf in the place of our grass field, an amphitheatre that isn't used... as an example of government spending gone mad. In America, you invest too much in the military.
Maybe a diversion of spending is in order?
People want things like big cars, long haul holidays. Companies want to make profits at the expense of others, so they might not invest in technologies that make no difference to their profits but reduce their environmental impact~ greed for money, basically.
That's a rather odd ideology. In the books it's quite funny. Egwene, his childhood sweetheart talks to her best friend Elayne, saying she doesn't want to marry him anymore, Elayne say she loves him and they engineer a 'transfer' of him. Elayne and Rand continue to have a normal relationship after that. Elayne is close friends with Aviendha at this point, and they later have an Aiel ceremony to become adopted sisters. Min really likes him, and confides in Elayne and Eqwene. Rand walks in on Aviendha taking a bath, she freaks out and makes a portal (being an Aiel wise one who wields the one power) to Tremalking and he follows her and finds her nearly freezing to death. They end up sleeping together. Later, when all four are in Andor, he confesses that he loves them all, and he thinks badly of himself for it. They sort it out and have him bonded as all of their warders. He later sleeps with Elayne who becomes pregnant with twins.
The book didn't talk about that, lol. One was a tomboy who could see into the future (Min/Elmindreda), one was an Aiel Warrior woman turned wise one (Aviendha), and the other was an Aes Sedai Queen of Andor (Elayne).
