Is Obama delirious???

Personally I think this guy is a great orator but has no depth nor ability to carryout his ideas. And those that follow and support him are shallow, race following, and grasping for straws. The real world is rough and tough. The ideals of flower power are long gone. Does he really expect to "talk" a suicide bomber out of reaching his objective??? In my opinion, he offers change in the wrong direction. I'm loading my guns and stocking up on ammo just in case he becomes president. I'll be damned if I"ll give up my country without a fight!! Your thoughts??

Is Obama delirious???
I am with you, now get ready for a barrage of obama bots slamming your question.


blind fools!





out of obamas mouth he says stuff and the obama bots say he didnt say it!





they are too busy in here to listen to any of his speeches or any "real" news
Reply:Of course he's delirious. A little response to 'thekool k' : many politicians have sat down with terrorists to talk, and guess what, they were the liberals trying to undermine our own soldiers, no big surprise there.


It's surprising to me that the top Dems agree to an economic stimulus package that gives money back to the Americans to boost our economy yet their poster child Obama says he is going to take all our money away to pay for his ideals, and they think that's a good idea also. They need to pull their heads out and smell the fresh air for awhile.
Reply:Did Obama ever suggest talking to a suicide bomber? No. What he is suggesting is that he will do what EVERY previous president has done....he will talk to our enemies. I suppose you think Washington was naive for negotiating with Britain. Lincoln was naive for talking to the South. Reagan was naive for talking to Russia. Nixon for going to China. And even Bush Jr. negotiated with Khadafy - the guy responsible for shooting down the jet over Lockerby, Scotland.
Reply:OH! You haven't heard Obama's "cynicism and fear" rebuttal yet? Every time someone makes a comment like yours, Obama will say something along the lines of "We have to get over our cynicism...%26lt;blah blah blah%26gt;... and embrace hope and change...%26lt;blah blah blah%26gt;." Obama doesn't believe in reality, he thinks he can change things and make our world a better place by doing whatever he does. All I have to say is: if he becomes President, I just pray to God that he does, at least, a decent job in the White House.
Reply:Listen I know your mind is made up about Obama... I will tell you when I knew he was the leader we need in terms of Foreign Policy.... He is the First Politician I have heard to actually come out and say that one or our primary goals should be to change the way America is viewed internationally.... When I heard that , I said Bingo... What we have been doing is fighting the symptoms, instead of looking for a cure... And I am no peace nic. I am a Gulf War Vet, who has been deployed to Panama and the Gulf in defense of this Country...
Reply:I think he's an idiot, period. I won't vote for him and I'm a Dem. He reminds me of Jimmy Carter and we don't need something like THAT after Bush - it means the complete demise of America. I will vote McCain if Hillary doesn't get the Dem nomination. I ashamed of my own party for pushing this jerk on us and trying to force us to accept him. He does not represent typical Dems, just those on the far left.
Reply:Go ahead and vote for McCain and a continuation of this stupid war. THIS WAR CAN'T BE WON, it's like the war on drugs. Even if we were able to set up a democracy in Iraq it would crumble shortly, look at the sea of countries surrounding it. IT WON'T WORK





Hope you can sleep at night knowing that the thousands more of our boys and girls will die needlessly and our country will continue to waste billions on the war each month because of dimwits like yourself
Reply:Ever heard of the phrase, "Everything I know I learned in Kindergarten." Well it is true. The basics are taught in kindergarten. That includes TALKING instead of fighting! Resolving issues, finding solutions!!! That is what needs to be done!





Guess you didn't go to kindergarten and therefore missed the basics! Looks like your education is lacking!
Reply:My thoughts? You're paranoid. When did Obama say he'd talk to a suicide bomber? Try again, you're reaching. Actually, I'm being too polite. You're lying.
Reply:man you will be under secret service watch


and besides you dont know the history of this country or its just you hate him too much


go google presidential history and you will find several presidents have sat down with terrorists
Reply:He ain't serious, he can make you delirious.
Reply:No, it's not delirious, it's socialist.
Reply:You should probably move to the mountains in Missouri, or maybe a compound in Texas, just to be on the safe side.





Have a nice day!
Reply:You smell of much fear old fading generation.
Reply:I think the FBI will soon begin watching all of your actions very closely....
Reply:Amen, brother.
Reply:Remember Ronald Reagan exchanging arms to Iran for the release of hostages? Now that's appeasement.

Didn't George W. Bush negotiative with Libya? They bombed the plane from Lockerbie Scottland (Pan Am Flight 103)





http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1329...





I think you are delirious. You have already given your country to the GOP and they have put us all in harms way just to benefit big oil companies.





Who masterminded the attacks of 9/11 -- It wasn't Saddam Hussein, it was Osama Bin Laudin. Bin Laudin is alive and well and just released another videotape to remind us.





If you want to fight for your country you should vote democratic and encourage everyone else to. The republicans are liars who project all of their own weaknesses onto their opponents. Reagen and Bush are appeasers, not the democrats.

Stoner music?

i really want to find some like 60's and 70's viedeos. i'm looking for that "flower power" style with all the flowery swirly stuff. if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Stoner music?
Do some research on it at maybe Amazon? and you may find some DVD documentaries or collections from that era if you want VIDEO. VH1 Classics is also a lot of performances before music videos were a big deal, a lot of concept film clips. Bands to watch out for:





Jefferson Airplane


Crosby Stills and Nash (with or without Neil Young)


The Doobie Brothers


The Doors


Sly and the Family Stone (trippy but with soul)


George Clinton (trippy and funky)


Bela Fleck has been around forever...new age banjo kind of thing. Flight of the Hippo? is very very trippy. Check old Austin City Limits footage for that.





Cream


Zeppelin


Pink Floyd


Jeff Beck


GRATEFUL DEAD!
Reply:the best band 4 that is pink floyd. they were stoned half the time they filmed the videos.
Reply:how about the yellow submarine, anything hippie wold be good for you...
Reply:oh those early black sabbath videos were like being on acid
Reply:Listen to the Doors-Light My Fire. That will be trippy enough for you.
Reply:The best song I can think of is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the beatles. I'm sure their pobably isn't any videos of this since it is so old, but maybe you can watch some episodes of the Monkey's. It would be entertaining at least. Remember that show? I loved it!
Reply:Pink Floyd, Bob Dyaln
Reply:Watch Beevis and Butthead on MTV for awhile at like 3am.

Myspace layouts...?

Hi. I'm looking for an amazing myspace layout. i wanted like a hippie sort a peace thing. i dont want it like girlie flower power junk. if anyone can tell me where to find some awsome ones are that would be great. THanks.

Myspace layouts...?
I, personally, use http://www.strikefile.com/myspace/ , where you can set everything yourself. You can set up the tables and backgrounds and text all separately. I know you said like the hippie thing---you can also take pictures from the internet of flowers or anything and put them in and it'll set it as your background. Or, if you want to use a picture from your computer, you can go to a site like http://imageshack.us/ that you can upload your pictures to and quickly get a url for them.
Reply:http://www.icopyandpaste.com/MySpace_Hip... has some really cool myspace hippie layouts.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Need music ideas for my summer party!?
besides Beach Boys:





"Whine up" by Kat deluna - awesome summer song!





"Summertime" by New kids on the block -can't exactly dance to it..but it's still good





"Into the Night" by Santana - summerish





"don't stop the music" by Rihanna





" Apologize" One republic

What do you think of this old, Chinese dragon-related poem I wrote?

Soaring through the puffy clouds, twisting through the air,


Regulating precipitation is my designated care.


With five-clawed toes and a wingless snaky length


I am regal, Imperial: gifted with Dragon strength.


The atmosphere is my open, continuous lair.





Imperial China is great, vast, monumental:


The Emperor expects me to be sentimental.


“Uphold the divine honor of the dynasty in power!


Exult in its glory; guard it like a precious flower.”


I mustn’t ignore His Highness when he gets temperamental.





Insurrection erupts on a far-flung plateau,


A few rebellious elements disrupting the flow.


Yet these are mortal concerns; I make rain for the crops.


Frankly, I don’t give a damn about ideological props.


The peasant families need nourishing harvests to sow.





The Emperor summons me to the Forbidden City, in Peking . . .





(Continued and completed here: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/p/j/p... )

What do you think of this old, Chinese dragon-related poem I wrote?
that's awesome!! i'm going to steal a line from it and use it here, to show what i think of all the non-answerers:


"The rebels are cowards and will never show their faces"





i like it.








*sigh* you know, pauly, if you'd asked "OMG! did you see Paris' new nail polish?" you'd have gotten 150answers, and 100 would have starred it as interesting.
Reply:You've done a fantastic job with this. You've missed a beat here and there, but nothing you couldn't easily fix. For example, "the emperor expects me to be sentimental" might have flowed better as "the emperor expects me to be more sentimental"...try it and see how it rolls of your tongue. There are only a few other places like this in your otherwise exquisite poem. Very well thought out, very well done.

Believers may I ask you a favor.?

Of course I am speaking of those who believe that flowers carry our souls. What else did you think I was refering too?





Today I saw someone step on a dandelion and heard a scream. Can we pray for the lost soul...tell me my brothers and sisters of the believers of the flower power...can we pray?

Believers may I ask you a favor.?
Can you believe my husband brought a DOZEN red roses home to give me as a PRESENT for my birthday?





What kind of monster does he think I am? I cried for days over their poor lost lives.

Reply:OF course, dear heart. You are such a sensitive soul.
Reply:Queen,


You do know that the Dandelion was brought to America from Europe as an herb, don't you. Many herbalists use them regularly. I am not a follower of the Flowering Soul Religion but I do not poison Dandelions either. Have a great weekend.


Thanks,

Reply:Praying for your Dandelion, Sister--I hope it recovers!
Reply:I believe that every flower is the home of a tiny fairy, and that when you kill the flower, you kill the fairy.


What you heard was the scream of a tiny fairy dying...
Reply:I will pray for those who step on flowers to be more considerate but I do not believe thay carry our souls.
Reply:Just meditate on it.

Why can't i BEaT IT?!?

The Flower Power scenario is unbeatable?! anyone have any tricks? i've put those do not enter signs on the park entrance. i've done it 3 times and the most i can get is like 1400 guests.what's the deal?

Why can't i BEaT IT?!?
I say putting a variety of rides helps. Balance out your park. No one wants a park with all gentle rides or such. You need to make a lot of bathrooms and concessions. Do Not Enter signs on the entrance will make customers very angry and the park rating goes low. If the rating gets low, you went get a lot of guests. Remember to hire a lot of mechanics and handymen. And maybe a few mascots and police guards.

Comment on all these girl names please! :)?

Rosemary Chiara (Romey)


Eloise Fiore Valencia (Elsie - and the middle names mean 'flower power'!!)


Isla Prairie


Maisy Claire


Isabelle Promise (Belle, Bella, Ellie...)


Jaime Calypso (pronounced Jamie)





or any different combinations if you prefer





The surname is: de la Lowe.





What do you think of each of them?

Comment on all these girl names please! :)?
I like the first two the best, especially the nick names they are very unique and cute!


Maisy always reminds me of a mouse, what about Macy instead?


Isla reminds me of that Madonna song.


Isabelle is very popular but if you don't mind that go for it, it's very beautiful.


I do like Jamie, I dont think it stands out as much as the others. Good luck!
Reply:Variations out of yours that I like......


Isla Claire


Isla Maisy


Isabelle Claire


Isabelle Maisy


But I think Maisy Claire DeLaLowe has the best ring to it out of all of your combinations.


Love the name Eloise...and the song but cant think of a middle name to go with it and Im not sure it goes with surname without being a mouthful.





At the end of the day these are just my likes and everyone thinks different. She might be born and you decide that none of your preferred names suits her...I did that with my first!!
Reply:Rosemary Chiara - I like both the names, just not together. I quite like Chiara Rose though.


Eloise Fiore Valencia - Too many unsual names in one name. Perhaps just Eloise Fiore?!


Isla Prairie - I like this a little bit,only if pronounced *I-luh Pri-a-ree*


Maisy Claire - I quite like this. Its a bit girly and sweet.


Isabelle Promise - I'm not sure on promise as a name.


Jaime Calypso - First name yes, second name NOOO





I quite like;


Isabelle Claire


Eloise Fiore


Isla Jaime


Chiara Rose
Reply:Maisy Claire has the best sound to it... think of it this way...





The best flow is when you mix up the syllables in the names. With Maisy Claire De La Lowe, you have a 2 syllable first name, one syllable middle name, and three with the last name. Flows when you say it.
Reply:LOVE Eloise and Isabella most but first is Eloise


dont likr Rosemary sorry - bad assocatitions and sounds to old to me.


Isla - sounds bit different and plain


Maisy - cute like it


Isabelle - not sure like Isabella


Jaime - but think Jamie would be better


Love Eloise Isabella . good luck and hope i helped :)
Reply:In my opinion, the names are all a bit too fusy with the surname also being fairly long.... I do like the names; Isla, Maisy, Isabelle though, and the nicknames are all lovely sounding.


So yeh, not really my taste of name but thats only my thoughts, x.
Reply:I like Chiara but not Rosemary but if you call her Romey Chiara thats nice.


Eloise I like


Isla Prairie - I like Prairie but not keen on Isla


I like Maisy but not Claire


Isabelle Promise is nice


Jaime Calypso is nice - LOVE Calypso.





Some interesting and nice names you have there! x
Reply:Rosemary Chiara- I dont like Rosemary name is too old and overused

Don't you think it is funny how people today are trying to be earth friendly when Pagans have always been?

Flower power! Taking care of the plant and do thinks to help it. Now those who do not follow the Pagan way is now trying to be pagan and live green.

Don't you think it is funny how people today are trying to be earth friendly when Pagans have always been?
I'm not Christian but one of the things the bible teaches is that all people are the stewards of the earth, meaning they are *supposed* to be taking care of it anyway. It wasn't until the industrial age that it all went to the garbage heap with a passion.
Reply:Not all that funny. Not even particularly true.





Just another self-righteous fantasy.
Reply:Pagans used to be farmers...





Anyway, pagans know their place in this universe. Respect that which is stronger than you, and you'll survive. Don't, and you'll feck everything up, even yourself.





Too bad the others didn't quite catch on to that until it was too late.
Reply:I don't necessarily find it funny...but it is great. We really all should have been doing that all along.
Reply:Actually, the Christian's god started celebrating the first "earth day" the very night the first man and woman were created. And every "seventh day" from then 'til now believers have been "remembering" by "keeping the Sabbath."
Reply:People are beginning to realize that we only have one Mother Earth, and we are its manifestation. They're also beginning to realize that the Mother is all that keeps us alive.
Reply:Man the only reason most people are trying to be earth friendly is that they are scared.They are finally figuring out that when we destroy this planet,where we going?All this global warming has gotten everyone stirring the pot.
Reply:Absolutely. Metaphysicians (Religious Science, etc.) find it hilarious that people (scientists)keep "discovering" how mind works, but never seem to realize that the power of mind has been taught for ages. The Secret is an example, but at least its author gives credit where it is due.
Reply:That can only be a good thing although I have seen people caring for plants by spraying them with things that are poisonous to animals and children. Guess we still have a way to go...
Reply:I think it's great that Pagans have always been so in tune and friendly to the earth. I admire you guys so much for that! But I also think it's a good thing that more people are trying to be "green" these days, despite their motivations. It certainly can't hurt!
Reply:I'd like to see a Pagan driving a big fat SUV.. I don't know any who do. Most Pagans I know couldn't afford one to begin with, and wouldn't have one if they could. We don't generally have the mindset that humans have dominion over the animals and nature, as some religions believe. We like the earth the way it was made and don't think humans have "improved" things much by decimating the environment.
Reply:Because the pagan only has the earth and nothing else. We have a living God who is going to give us a new earth.
Reply:I'll try to think of that next time I see a pagan in a big fat SUV.

i like the first hair link with the blonde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:I think you look good right now. but if you wanted, you could put red highlights in your hair.
Reply:i say mix the 2 together to get the blonde color with the lindsey hair cut. just dont go bleach blonde cause that color makes people look like s luts
Reply:i'd go for the lindsey lohan one, but not that colour. it'd be easy to style and wouldnt take much work. all youd have to do is put in a side parting at the front, moving it further across as you go to the back of your head, so your hair is even on each side. youd have to blow dry and straighten the fringe across the side, but that would only take 10 mins at most. colourwise, try getting some dark brown and/or red lowlights with a slightly lighter set of highlights. as they grow out, theyll get lighter, so you can make your hair lighter or darker later depending on your tastes. it gives you a lot of choice later on. go for easy to style and keep up, i went for a high maintenance style and really regretted it- it takes up so much time...

So every decade has that one fashion thing that defines it....?

whats the 2000's?

So every decade has that one fashion thing that defines it....?
1985-2000





Grunge


Grunge was based on fashion started by a youth cult in the Pacific North West region of America in the early 1990s. The key to the look was that nothing matched, nothing was coordinated and an item was preferable if old and worn. The point was to look tousled, uncombed and unkempt, as if not too much effort had been made. Many consumers thought it pointless. Actresses like Julia Roberts who adopted the look were heavily criticised for their lack of glamour. Only those under 21 could get away with this look and Grunge died within a year, but left the fashion term. It is frequently used now to describe unattractive fashion features or unkempt individuals.





Deconstructionism


Deconstructionism questions the rules and breaks conventions in fashion. It includes putting seams and zips on the outside of a garment showing the inner construction workings of tailoring that in the past were the hidden features. It recycles old fashion and makes the undesirable part of dress such as a laddered stocking a desirable feature. Hussein Chalayan, Martin Margiela and Comme des Garçons are all deconstructionists, but Zandra Rhodes first did this 25 years ago when she put huge pinked sig zag seams on the outside of wool coats.





Minimalism


Minimalism describes pared down clothes in neutral tones in clean and sculptural shapes Quality fabrics in solid neutrals, with minimal detailing were first seen as a reaction to the glitz and glamour of 1980's styles. It became more popular in the 1990s. It is functional, urban subdued understated clothing which is never out of date.





Purism


Purism uses the neutral tints and shades associated with white, grey and beige. It is an expensive, quiet, unobtrusive uncomplicated look based on good cut. It lacks superfluous embellishment in its pure uncluttered simplicity. It is easy to wear and never feels out of place because it consists of simple functional items that are reduced to the basic elements of elegantly cut modern classics. It uses virtually no jewellery to accessorize the look.





The designers Jil Sander, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein all strive to produce modern classics within the framework of pure functional natural simplicity

Would there be less racial hatred today if dr. martin luther king jr. hadn't been assassinated?

having been graced by living in the days of stable families, attending high school as the first blacks came into my school and us liking one another an awfully lot, going into the fun of the beatles, becoming a flower power hippie, having a lot of disposable income, and then ! boom ! watching dr. martin luther king get assassinated--what do you think america would be like today if he had not been killed? i remember the times of peace and love, the time that everyone got along relatively well, even of different race, and then, when king was shot, all of a sudden people stopped publicly hugging. women's lib and black power groups began to run the show. hatred crept in. never did we go back to those peaceful times, life just became more stressful and filled with spite. do you think that if MLK continued his preachings that our society would have less racial hatred? i think so, and i wish he wasn't shot. he added SO MUCH to brotherly love. what do you think?

Would there be less racial hatred today if dr. martin luther king jr. hadn't been assassinated?
Probably the Civil War propaganda that was not corrected after the war did more harm than anything. It has actually grown into pseudo-truth (if there can be such a thing). Most people in the USA today actually think the war was fought to free the slaves. If we could go back today and fix the misconceptions about whites and blacks and slavery, we could wipe all racism in this country , at least for those who were willing to work on it. Unfortunately many politicians still make a living on this. What a shame.


I was raised in the Mississippi Delta in the 40's and 50's. Most of the time my neighbors were black. We all worked in the same fields, got the same pay, lived in the same housing, and some times when to the same church. We did go to different schools. That was Federal law, not Mississippi law. The white children had an old wooden school house with a coal stove. The black children went to a new brick school with running water and bathroom inside. We did not know why. I played with black children every day. I went to their house and they came to mine. We never heard of racism, or hatred. My dad got a car when I was about 7 or 8. When my mom would go to town she would take as many black women as she could fit in the car.


Most all black people then were very poor, as most white people were also very poor. When many today think of how bad it was for the blacks they forget how bad it was for the poor whites and Indians. We were lucky, my dad worked in the fields and also got a job at the Federal Compress because of his experience in the Army. He made about $120 per month. A field hand could make about $100 per month working 6 days a week from daylight to dark. This was for hoeing cotton. When picking season came in, you could get 2 cents per pound for picking cotton. Both jobs were seasonal. Everyone worked about 6 months out of the year, the rest of the time you looked for odd jobs. Times were hard, but everyone respected each other. No one stole from their neighbor. No one took dope, and few drank beer or wine. We all got along. We helped each other. There was no hate.


When I was 10 we moved away. I went back just a few years ago. No one had jobs, everyone was on food stamps and welfare. There was nothing there but a small grocery store and 2 beer joints, and fields and fields of rice.....sad.
Reply:Personally, I think there would be less racial animosity if he had never been born. Aside from all the flowery speeches, and the image that the media has created of MLK since his assassination, the truth is, he was not that popular when he was killed. he went around the country provoking red necks. When he got the reaction that he wanted, the politicians would respond by passing another law, and increasing the power of the federal government. That's the real reason they made a holiday for him.





I think that blacks would have been accepted sooner if there had not been so much confrontation. The politicians want confrontation. They want racial strife. That's what they work for. It's the old Divide and Conquer.





The Rap culture was created to alienate blacks from whites. The culture of American blacks was very similar to the culture of American whites forty years ago. Since that time, we have been treated to Rap and Hip Hop, the rags around the head and Kwanzaa. The politicians and mainstream media have done everything that they can think of to alienate one group from the other.





Now you know what I think.
Reply:Just a little bit. It would not be as bad, but of course it would still be here.
Reply:NO! The racial beast will rear his ugly head eventually. Just look at the race card being played today more than a slot machine at a busy casino. Blacks have no scruples, character, intellect, or responsibility for their actions.


MLK was a whoremonger, doper, pilagiarist among other things. They call that a street angel and a home devil; on the street, he's nice and cordual, but at home, he's satan revisited.


The night before he was assasinated at the Loraine Hotel in Memphis, he was having sex with three white prostitutes (one of whom he beat severly) and he was recorded by the FBI saying "I'm f*cking for God tonight!" "I'm not a Negroe tonight!"


He was a flawed, drunken, no-count burrhead!
Reply:i agree with you and i think my colt's are going to kick your bears butt's
Reply:There is only "hatred" because Whites are forced to import millions of non-Whites to their countries.





There's a reason Africa, Asia, and other areas of the globe do not import people outside of their dominant race.





"Diversity" and diverse nations are very much "White things."
Reply:Even one thousand Martin Luther King cannot make the change. Racism is deep-rooted in human hearts throughout the world for millennia, and it can only be abolished with time under a proper education which enlightens all hearts for the truth that mankind are one and are equally noble in the creation of the One True God. Each individual among us can contribute to remedy this disease by learning to love equally all mankind and actively pass this lesson on to our neighbours.
Reply:People stopped hugging in public???????? what???





Sad to say but, no, there'd still be this type of hatred.
Reply:actually, not many people know this, but i remember in my history class when we was talkin about MLK that before he died his speeches had actually become more radical, my belief b/c of his frustrations at the lack of progress, then his earlyier speeches which were more peaceful oriented. I hate to say it but he was killed at a good time b/c i fear that if he wasnt, his speeches wud start to alienate himself with just blacks b/c the whites who were involved wud have been scared or threatened away by his messages. Put it this way, from what i learned it seemed his future speeches might have been too radical for anyone to even consider changes. MLK was a martyr, and a damn good one too, becuase without his death the american public wud prolly not have took a step back and say woah all this racism stuff aint right
Reply:I agree whole heartily.if he had preached his peaceful Resistance to segregation %26amp; inequelity .all these years then the black folk would have listened %26amp; learned to a degree.to bettter themselfs both mentaly %26amp; psycicaly but also spiritualy.


when someone when I was a young hippie myself would say something against blacks, I would say,hey,I AM a black man, and proud of it, though I am as white as a person can get, ha ha.


I wish their would come to america another Ghandi type. King type person.King studyed %26amp; learned much from Ghandi.we truly need that person right now.spirituallity should prevale in society. not this mess we have now.It took a few months part time, but i painted for free an all black church property in my neighbourhood..True peace comes from the heart.

Reply:Skip the balloons. Especially flower shaped ones. That is just going to look cheap....there's a reason why you havn't found them.





Instead why not get some garland and use lilacs (silk or real) to embelish it then hang it around the site. You could also use some white and lilac tulle wrapped around white christmas lights to decorate.
Reply:Hi! I'm planning my wedding and doing a lot of unique things however after planning my wedding for over 1 year I found that balloons are more for B-day parties, bridal showers, and other non-wedding parties. I would suggest other decorations, if your theme is flowers, I would incorporate simple arrangements around your reception area guest book table, gift table... for the guest book table you should do a "pot of flowers made out of pens".... it's simple; buy some simple pens, floral tape, and your choice of silk flower (in your wedding colors) wrap the floral tape around the pen and as you get closer to covering the pen put your flower in and finish wrapping your pen all the way to the top, your flower should fit at the top. Buy a small flower pot and insert your pens there and your guest can use this to sign the book and it will also be a visual addition to your decor. Hope this helps.

What can I do about 2nd-hand cig smoke coming into my apt via A/C vents, from the upstairs apt?

My apts were built in the 70's but have had good upkeep and maintenance (I thought). The neighbors upstairs chain-smoke, and all day and all night till 5am I am smelling the 2nd hand smoke that comes into my apartment through the a/c vents. It's disgusting and stinks, and makes my eyes burn. What can I do to make the apt mgr do something? I've told her about 4 times, and she says there is nothing she can do about it that I just have to live with it, burn a candle or something! I've been burning candles and it's not taking care of the problem; not to mention the soot the candles put out!! I'm frustrated and at my wits end over this ordeal. Plus when the neighbors DO go outside on their balcony to smoke, they then throw their butts down below on the beautiful lawn or into my Flower Pots! I'm pissed. This is a nice area in Addison where I live, and I try everything in my power to keep my area nice and then "thugs" move in and it all goes to hell. I have a year left on my lease.

What can I do about 2nd-hand cig smoke coming into my apt via A/C vents, from the upstairs apt?
Take up smoking yourself. You won't notice the smoke drifting in.
Reply:See if there are any loopholes in your lease. I live somewhere where people CONSTANTLY would speed through the complex and I finally had enough. I have a lawyer friend and he helped me get out because I was moving because I did not have a sense of expected safety or something like that. 2nd hand smoke is a serious health risk, I assume you could get of the lease based on this. Especially if they never told you that the vents would work this way.
Reply:the prob is, not much, you more than likely have an "abovethetub" A/c unit. the whole ceiling space between the floors is the air return to the unit. So unless the u/s neighbors pull the carpet and seal the floor with plastic sheeting there is nothing you can do. no filters or air purifiers will stop the smoke from getting in. So you will just have to see if anyway out of the lease early. As for any serious health threats, unless the smoke blown directly in your face will not cause anything more than irritation, not cancer like suggested.
Reply:Tell your neighbors to stop smoking! If they don't listen, go to the landlord or the homeowners' association. I'm sure they can give your neighbors the boot.
Reply:See if you can put a filter over the a/c vents, and possibly look into getting a good quality air purifier that you can set in front of it. Your air will be clean and healthier for you to breathe. As far as the cigarette butts go, you need to address this with the landlord, as that's littering, and shouldn't be tolerated. They will most likely be fined if they continue to do so.

Which is your favourite year musically?

Mine is 1967 - Flower Power and lots of lovely tuneful records released.

Which is your favourite year musically?
1966 was the year that rock and roll grew up. The standards established in the fifties and continued through the early days of the British Invasion were blown to pieces in 1966. In '66, the typical guitar/bass/drums line-up was augmented by more exotic instruments like the sitar (played by George Harrison and others) as well as the vast array of instruments Brian Jones integrated into the Stones music that year. It was also the dawn of acid rock with all its vast sonic possibilities as evidenced by, among others, the 13th Floor Elevators, the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "She Said, She Said", Love's "7 and 7 Is", and Hendrix's earliest recordings such as "Purple Haze" (released in '67 but actually recorded in late '66). Also in 1966, rock lyrics flowered into more than the doggerel love songs that they had previously been. Though Dylan had already demonstrated the possibilities of poetry in rock lyrics, he largely stood alone in that endeavor until '66, when he was joined by other visionary lyricists like the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed and Jim Morrison of the Doors (both of their groups recorded their debut albums in 1966 but didn't release them until 1967). Finally, 1966 was the peak year for garage bands, the quintessential rock and roll phenomenon. All this to me makes '66 a fascinating year in rock history.

Reply:Because we all felt the sting of 9/11 the vietcong didn't crash planes into building here in the US.





Besides, in the 60's college was an option, back in those days you could get a job at the local mill/farm/auto plant.....etc and have a good life. Not today, todays youth are working harder and longer to have the same quality of life enjoyed by the baby boomers, they are in more debt and school costs have gone up over 1000% since the days of the "hippies". What do you expect us to do???? Protest, or try to get ahead in life........unlike the hippies we cant just go off on a whim like our parents could, if you fall behind nowadays, you generally stay behind.
Reply:Cause there's absolutely no point. What is the point getting your head kicked in by the police when it will probably not be reported and the government won't care even if it is - not even if 49% of the country protests at once.
Reply:I'll protest with you! I think people feel like their voice won't be heard so why bother, and if it is heard then nothing will come of it. But I say I want Bush and other countries to know that I do not support this war and will not support this war. I only support the troops that are over there fighting for our country. I do feel like a change is needed I just hope America makes a better choice in 2008!
Reply:If we ended it now the country would colapse and it would be a terrorist breeding ground. We've got to at least set things up for them to succed before we pull out.
Reply:These kids lived through the 9/11 attack. They may not understand wether or not the war is just but they do feel that somthing needs to be done...
Reply:I don't like the war in Iraq but I have seen what the police do to hippies and there is no way I want to go through that. Plus there are different ways of protesting than standing outside the white house wit ha picket sign.
Reply:Because apathy is where its at.
Reply:Because we realize that it is useless to protest. Protesting just creates more violence. and conflict than it would be trying to stop.
Reply:Our generation is like, the exact opposite of the hippie generation, so yeah.
Reply:im a young person. and i dont protest cause i dont pay attention to the war, cause my own life is so complicated.


If you were a new muslim would you please tell us why you choosed islam?

How I Came to Islam (Cat Stevens)











All I have to say is what you know already, to confirm what you already know of the message of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) as given by God - the Religion of Truth. As human beings we are given a consciousness and a duty that has placed us at the top to creation. Man is created to be God's deputy on earth and it is important to realize the obligation to rid ourselves of all illusions and to make our lives a preparation for the next life. Anyone who misses this chance is not likely to be given another, to be brought back again, for it says in the Qur'an Majeed that when man is brought to account, he will say, "O Lord, send us back and give us another chance.' The Lord will say, 'If I send you back, you will do the same.'





My early religious upbringing





I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.





We know that every child is born in his original nature, and it is only his parents that turn him to this religion or that. I was given this religion (Christianity) and thought this way. I was taught that God exists, but there was no direct contact with God, so we had to make contact with Him through Jesus, and Jesus was in fact the door to Good. This was more or less accepted by me, but I did not swallow it all.





I looked at some of the statues of Jesus; they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three, I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it, simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.





Pop star





Gradually, I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took h old of me, and perhaps I thought this wa my god: the goal of making money. I had an uncle who had a beautiful car, and I thought "Well, he has it made". He had a lot of money. The people around me influence me tho think that this was it, this world was their God.





I decided then that this was the life for me, to make a lot of money, to have a 'great life'. My examples were the pop stars, and so I started making songs. But deep down, I had a feeling for humanity, a feeling that if I became rich, I would help the needy. (It says in the Qur'an that we make a promise, but when we make something, we want to hold on to it and become greedy)





So it happened that I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated (with liquor and drugs).





In Hospital





After a year of financial success and 'high' living, I became very ill, contracted TB and had to be hospitalized. It was then that I started to think: what was to happen to me? Was I just a body and my goal in life was merely to satisfy this body? I realized now that this calamity was a blessing given to me by Allah, a chance to open my eyes, 'why am I here, why am I in bed', and I started looking for some of the answers. At that time there was great interest in great interest in the Eastern mysticism. I began reading and the first thing I began to become aware of was of death, and that the soul moves on, it does not stop. I felt I was taking the road to bliss and high accomplishment. I started meditating and even became a vegetarian. I now believed in 'peace and flower power', and this was the general trend. But what I did believe in particular was that I was not just a body, this awareness came to me at the hospital.





One day when I was walking and I was caught in the rain, I began running to the shelter and I realized, 'wait a minute, my body is getting wet, my body is telling me I am getting wet.' This made me think of a saying that the body is like a donkey and it has to be trained where it has to go, otherwise the donkey will lead you where it wants to go.





Then I realized I had a will, a God given gift: follow the will of God. I was fascinated by the new terminology I was learning in the Eastern religion. By now I was fed up with Christianity. I started making music again and this time I started reflecting my own thoughts. I remember the lyric of one of my songs. It goes like this: 'I wish I knew, I wish I knew what makes the Heaven, what makes the Hell, do I get to know You in my bed or some dusty cell while others reach the big hotel/' and I knew I was on the Path.





I also wrote another song 'The way to find God out.' I became even more famous in the world of music. I really had a difficult time because I was getting rich and famous and at the same time I was sincerely searching for the Truth. Then I came to a stage where I decided that Buddhism is alright and noble, but I was not ready to leave the world, I was too attached to the world and was not prepared to become a monk and to isolate myself from society.





I tried Zen and Ching, numerology, tarot cards and astrology. I tried to look back into the Bible, and could not find anything. At this time I did not know anything about Islam, and then, what I regarded as a miracle occurred. My brother had visited the mosque in Jerusalem, and was greatly impressed that while on the one ;had it throbbed with life ( unlike the churches and synagogues which were empty), on the other hand, an atmosphere of peace and tranquility prevailed.





The Qur'an





When he came to London he brought back a translation of the Qur'an, which he gave to me. He did not become a Muslim, but he felt something in this religion, and thought I might find something in it too.





And when I received the Book, (a guidance that would explain everything to me: who I was, what the purpose of life was, what reality was, and where I came from), I realized that this was the true religion - religion not in the sense the West understands it, not the type foe only your old age. In the West, whoever wishes to embrace a religion and make it his only way of life is deemed a fanatic. I was not a fanatic, I was at first confused between the body and the soul. Then I realized that the body and soul are not apart and you don't have to go to the mountain to be religious; we must follow the will of God, then we can rise even higher than the angels. The first thing I wanted to do now was to be a Muslim.





I realized that everything belongs to God, that slumber does not overtake Him. He created everything. At this point I began to lose the pride in me, because hereto I had thought the reason I was here was because of my own greatness. But I realized that I did not create myself, and the whole purpose of my being here was to submit to the teaching that has been perfected by the religion we know as Al-Islam. At this point I started discovering my faith. I felt that I was a Muslim, on reading the Qur'an. I now realized that all the Prophets sent by God brought the same message. Why then were the Jews and Christians different? I know now how the Jews did not accept Jesus as the Messiah and that they had changed His Word. Even the Christians misunderstand God's Word and called Jesus the son of God. Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an; it asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur'an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and Good's creation in general. Do you realize how different the sun is from the moon/ They are at varying distances from the earth, yet appear the same size to us; at times one seems to overlap the other.





Even when many astronauts go t space, they see the insignificant size of the earth and vastness of space, and they become very religious, because they have seen the Signs of Allah.





When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt that the only answer for me was the Qur'an, and God had sent it to me and I kept it a secret. But the Qur'an speaks on different levels. I began to understand it on another level, where the Qur'an says "Those who believe don't take disbelievers for friends and the believers are brothers." Thus at this point I wished to meet my Muslim brothers.





Conversion





Then I decided to journey to Jerusalem (as my brother had done). At Jerusalem, I went to the mosque and sat down. A man asked me what I wanted. I told him I was a Muslim. He asked what was my name; I told him 'Stevens'. he was confused. I then joined the prayer though not so successfully.. Back in London, I met a sister called Nafisa. I told her I wanted to embrace Islam and she directed me to the New Regent Mosque. This was in 1977, about 1 1/2 years after I received the Qur'an. Now I realized that I must get rid of my pride, get rid of Iblis and face one direction. So on a Friday, after Jummah I went to the Imam and declared ;my faith (the Kalima) at his hands. You have before you someone who had achieved fame and fortune. But guidance was something that eluded me, no matter how hard I tried, until I was shown the Qur'an. Now I realize I can get direct contact with God, unlike Christianity or any other religion. As one Hindu lady told me, 'You don't understand the Hindus, we believe in one God, we use these objects (idols) to merely concentrate.' What she was saying was that in order to reach God one has to create associates, that are idols for the purpose. But Islam removes all these barriers, the only thing that moves the believers from the disbelievers is the Salat. This is the process of purification. Finally I wish to say that everything I do is for the pleasure of Allah and pray that you gain some inspirations from my experiences. Furthermore I would like to stress that I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him), we will be successful. May Allah give us guidance to follow the path of the Ummah of Muhammad ( peace and blessings be upon him). Ameen!

If you were a new muslim would you please tell us why you choosed islam?
Growing up I could not understand some things that I was being taught in Sunday school.





My Mother is a Christian and my Dad is an Atheist. My mother would just tell me the same thing that the Sunday school teacher was saying. My Dad would tell me that I needed to find my own answers and told my Mom that if she was not going to help me by giving me an answer that I could understand instead of telling me the same thing without her to questioning the answer then I was not to go back to Sunday school. He told me that I needed to do my own research and find the truth on my own. This was when I was 10.





At this time I would spend my summers with my grandparents. My Grand father was a Deacon and my Grand Mother was a Sunday school teacher. They would try to guide me but when I would question they too could not give me the answers.





Then when I was 16 I was in a world religion class in high school. There I began to learn about Islam and I could finally have my answers. I was so excited when I went home. But my mother was totally against it. And I was told that none of the garbage was to come into her home. At this time Dad was out of town and did not hear what she was telling me. So I would study in secret.





Less than a year after I graduated from high school I was told that I was to get married or get out of my parents home (by my Mother). I married and my husband was anti anything that was not Christian. So again I studied in secret.





After 5 years of an abusive relationship (with him cheating, hitting and being mentally abusive) I got out. I started college and began to openly study Islam. My Mother tried to set me down and tell me how wrong I am but my Dad has been there beside me still telling me that I needed to find my own way.





I reverted 2 years ago and have never been happier. I learn something new everyday. I am now married to a wonderful Muslim man that treats me with love and respect.
Reply:doesn't sound like your mom or first husband were very good Christians. I still think Christianity is the right way, but you have obviously been beaten away from the truth. I'm glad you found a good man. Am wishing well for both of you. Report It

Reply:Babes.





...Oh wait — I'm not a Muslim. But if I was, it would be for all the babes.
Reply:Short (very short!) answer: unlike ALL the other religions (both mono and polytheistic), the two's and two's simply add up to four (finally!).

Reply:I came from a Christian upbringing. I really didn't have a problem with Christianity except for the some of its Dogma which in my eyes conflcited with teachings of Jesus. I ignored a lot of this Dogma, knowing that God understood that my intentions were good. As I got older I began cross referencing this Dogma with the Bible often finding out that it was nowhere in the Bible or the Dogma was very elaborate interpretrations of the Biblical verses. I thought to myself, there has to be some truth in this, right? I was certain of the existence of God, I could not bring myself to deny him as I witnessed proof throughout my life. But why would Christian institutions preach all of these things and not be able to reasonably back it up with the Bible. Again I had and still have no problem with Christians but I was at angry at the damage false teachings of the Bible was inflicting. So I stepped outside of Christianity with hopes of being able to identify what Christianity truely was. I began doing a lot of objective research only to seem to get less and less of an understanding what Christianity was. So I began cross referencing Chrisitanity with Judaism and Islam.


In short Islam, the Qur'an answered all of my questions about the Bible. Where I began finding the Bible to be more and more confusing in comparison to Christian Theology the Qur'an reconfirmed my belief in the Bible. I will say that Bible reveals Islam and speaks the truth. Islam is about worshipping God through universal and unconditional respect for the world around you.
Reply:there is no use when someone read the story with unbelieving heart. i'm a muslim and thankful to be a muslim. I'd heard that after 11.9 tragedy, islam spread quickly in europe, western's countries, and also jews. this is because, after the tragedy, non muslim wanted to know why muslim willingly to sacrifice their life for their religion (unlike any other religions). and after they studied about islam. they find the truth. you can read about how someone convert to islam in this internet article:

Reply:i am not really a revert to Islam, however in the recent year or so my deen has been strengthened and Alhamdulilah Islam found me. I dont know the reason (as in the question) as ALLAH (SWT) knows best. What I can say is that I never knew how empty my life was before and now I have contentment, happiness, inner peace and am a much better person for it. Masha ALLAH.





I really just wanted to say thanks for sharing this story with us. Islam humbles me every day in so many ways. Allahu Akhbar.

Men don't WANT women to have power. Why can't you women understand this????

If we give you power then we can't control and manipulate you. We want to keep you dependent on us so we can continue to control you. We want to keep your self esteem low so you can look up to us!














Why else do you think we keep you in burkas?





Why else do you think we objectify you in the media negating your intellect and emotions?





Why else do we bombard you with photoshopped hot model images for you to compare yourself to so you can feel ugly?





Why else do we discourage you from voting/ running for President or being President?





Why else do we keep you from becoming heads of religious organizations?





Why else do we prohibit you from driving?





Men worldwide want the same thing everywhere. We want CONTROL over women. And to make things great for us, is that we can give you flowers or a little compliment and you forgive us easily and think you're the ones in control. LMAO!

Men don't WANT women to have power. Why can't you women understand this????
teach a man you teach one person, teach a woman and you teach a nation.
Reply:Oh how wrong you are. Women have all the power when it comes right down to it. How we treat our men determines what type of day they will have, how they will sleep, their moods, etc. Women have more power than you are willing to admit. We don't need power in politics, we have it in our homes.

Reply:Yes, for centuries that has been men's goal. What so funny to women about that is men will never learn that you will never be able to control women.





Pinky and the Brain is the perfect illistration of men's taktics in attempting to "control" women.





Don't you know... women have been controlling men all this time and you don't even realize it. Why do you think men will not succeed in controling women.

Tao quote what do you think do you agree?

here is the quote(my fav.): wealth staus honor and praise that come from enlightened qualities are like flowers in mountains always growing and blooming naturually. those that come from ones achievements in ones career choice are like flowers in a pot being moved about, removed , and replanted. those that come from temporal power are like flowers in vases, with out roots, soon to wilt.

Tao quote what do you think do you agree?
flowers from mountains can be uprooted to be replanted in our homes, after which cut and placed in vases, soon to wilt. However, before they die, we can collect the seeds they produce and grow another flower, this time it can be placed anywhere desired.





This is my own explaination of how power and wealth can be manipulated if you put a little effort and thinking in it
Reply:enlightment is truth which never changes.


The rest is temporary.
Reply:I understand and agree with the concept that the value of praise, honor and to some degree status are directly related to how you come by them. The one that I don't understand is wealth. Wealth is tangible and has a set value, how it is attained does not affect that value. Now I would agree that how it is used can impact the true value of that wealth.
Reply:Taoism is a philosophy which is rooted on following the Tao (Way)





In this quote, i think its says that when one follows the natural way, then he'll be successful and permanent. But he follows the artificial, then it will not last long.





It is important in the Taoist philosophy to follow the way of nature. To avoid artificiality.
