navel fluff is real.. this is totally weird and kinda gross, but my brother dated a girl a while back and she apparently was obsessed with picking the lint out of his bellybutton.. the worst part of it is that they felt compelled to share their cute little story with me.
yea.. and the huge lists like this only need one example followed by a link to the rest.. i don't like having to scroll half-way down the page just to get to the next post.
thanks alecks.. i was hoping someone would say something along those lines. agreed 100%. although yes, it's great to identify with series of books, but they should not be used in order to establish a particular identity (here, it is to be identified as 'manly'), rather, they should be used to gain perspectives that help shape your identity. i think HALF of those books should have been by women because half of the world is female. if you only know and exhibit the patriarchal perspective, half the world is going to hate you.
that's awesome. 100-kudos to that guy and i hope he does really well! i'd be curious to follow his term and see what improvements (or disasters) he may bring to the Muskogee area. and that's a big commitment for anyone because going to school and working in a could-be career is hard to stay with. why go to school if you already have the job? that's a decision i had to make, but i'm glad i stayed with it. i hope he does too; he won't regret it when he gets that diploma.
i don't think anyone who has commented on this actually knows what they're talking about... first of all, it's a fact that the environment is warming. BUT like many said above, YES politicians and other such leaders have turned it into global propoganda, which is the wrong part. there just needs to be an overall understanding that it's happening and we can't do anything to reverse it, AND ALSO BE 'OK' WITH IT. yes. ok. it's happening. let's move on and think of ways we can live among our environments as they change. it's called "adapting," and humans are the most adaptable animals on the planet. we are the ONLY animal that inhabits every continent on earth. regardless of whether this phenomenon is happening because of us, or if it's just a part of the cycles of the planet, it's happening and we can't stop it. and it's stupid to say that we can. it's also stupid to deny it at all, because then you're just showing how much you HAVE NOT looked into it. go read a book or something and compare temperatures from 200 years ago.
@jimbo- yes, temps dropped last year. that's a part of it. what people don't realize is that there are two sides of everything. with global warming also comes global cooling. they're called 'cycles.' has anyone looked at the rise anf fall of the stock market? look at global temperatures that way.. when they rise- they fall again. then they rise some more and fall again. the US economy is a perfect comparison- we saw great strides and improvement in the economy during the first years of the 20th century and then it saw the great depression. that wasn't the end of the world and the economy got stronger and stronger. well, look at us now. we're falling again, but we'll soon rise back up and become stronger and stronger. same thing with global warming. as we rise in temperature, we lose some degrees along the way, just to even out the cycles. if cycles didn't happen, we would have nothing to compare anything to.
regardless of whether you think the world is warming or not, it's still ignorant to deny that it COULD happen. before we humans even set foot on the planet, it saw three great, global transitions. there were two other large land masses before pangea, and the earth was completely underwater at one point. these things happened millions of years before us and they're going to continue to happen long after we're gone. the only reason we're freaking out is because we haven't lived long enough to experience any of these great transitions. now that we are, we think we can manipulate them to suit our own needs. nature is going to continue with or without us, so we better start learning how to live with it.
ironically, humans were not meant to drink cow's milk. but i suppose it's sort-of difficult to extract milk from humans in large enough quantities to satisfy consumer demand. wow.. there's a new perspective you don't mean to pay attention to every day.
i just have to say... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA AAAHHHHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH OH WAIT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA! ok. wait HAHAHAHA! alright. alright. enough of this junk. the whole mentality that our country is going to sh*t BECAUSE of immigration is a load of crap. our government is sooo stupid sometimes that i can't believe this country has lasted this long under the same name. 'united' states? more like 'everyone does their own thing while the gov't severely limits them' states. can't wait to move to canada...
i would probably be pissed too. but yea, i agree to a point that that's just how it goes.. there's only so much that we can prevent because the 'big boys' are the ones with the money and in this country, money does all the talking.
very sad to see your childhood be taken away by a bulldozer, though.

skin + friction + asphalt DOES NOT = divine intervention.
sorry, guy. maybe some knee-pads would have prevented such confusion.
