Ten More Random Questions

[MrLegacy]

Ok Morph, I got another round of ten questions for ya!

As the gas prices goes up, do you think that the Escalades, the Hummers, and the Excursions of the world would be extinct?

And Why Pres. Bush And John McCain are trying to look for more oil when there are many alternatives for fuel?

Why is it easy for women to manipulate men than the other way around?

What are the main reasons of why we are in a economic slump right now?

Ok, It's more likely that Obama will be in the Oval Office by 2009, but will he being the president of the United States will open the door to more men of color AND women?

And will people will try to bring him down during his time in office?

Is it really worth it to work hard for years and years to get that career you wanted or it's better to try and take every shortcut possible?

Do you believe in Kama?

What's the REAL answer of stopping violence in urban cities?

You think that the real enemy is in North Korea and not the Middle East?

[unstable]

Im sure not morph but i got some answers for you.


Ok Morph, I got another round of ten questions for ya!

As the gas prices goes up, do you think that the Escalades, the Hummers, and the Excursions of the world would be extinct?

Now im a great American car hater. And I can hapilly say YES! (although american cars have a small group of fanatics who will always love american cars no metter how much they suck.

And Why Pres. Bush And John McCain are trying to look for more oil when there are many alternatives for fuel?

Oil is where the money is at. There are alternatives but they are cheaper and producing them is much cheaper too. So there is less profit in alternative fuel. Ones a wise men said to me : " If car industry developed new technologies as fast as the computer inustry, we would be able to drive 1000km on 1 liter

Why is it easy for women to manipulate men than the other way around?
I dont know, I'd like to know too

What are the main reasons of why we are in a economic slump right now?

Ok, It's more likely that Obama will be in the Oval Office by 2009, but will he being the president of the United States will open the door to more men of color AND women?

And will people will try to bring him down during his time in office?
Yes

Is it really worth it to work hard for years and years to get that career you wanted or it's better to try and take every shortcut possible?

Do you believe in Kama?

What's the REAL answer of stopping violence in urban cities?
Education, and equal chances for everyone

You think that the real enemy is in North Korea and not the Middle East?
The real enemy is in the White House

[MorpheusX]

As the gas prices goes up, do you think that the Escalades, the Hummers, and the Excursions of the world would be extinct?

No, not for some time. American's love affair with large vehicles that denote status, place them physically higher on the road than the rest of traffic so that they feel superior and make them feel larger and more imposing is something that appeals to the American's feeling of sexual and financial inadequacy.
So it will always remain a status symbol. in the near future, they will sell less of them, but they will become symbols of wealth, as filling up one of those gas tanks regularly will be something that only the wealthy will be able to afford to do.

I JUST filled up my little Honda Accord with regular gas and dropped like $65 into the tank. And that's with a 15 gallon tank. Can you imagine what one of these 25 gallon tank having SUVs take to fill up routinely?


And Why Pres. Bush And John McCain are trying to look for more oil when there are many alternatives for fuel?

Because Bush is an oil man to begin with and makes all his money on oil, even today and McCain will need ExxonMobil and the other big oil companies to fund his current and future campaigns, so he's selling out the country in order to gain special interest donations.

Scientists, economists and other experts have already proven conclusively that there are CURRENTLY shitloads of land marked for drilling that they haven't even tapped yet which would release many times over the amount of oil found in ANWAR (Artic National Wildlife Refuge) off the coast of Alaska. IN fact, all the oil contained in ANWAR and the areas they want to drill will only account for 2% of the total oil we need. Hardly worth violating pristine land like that. ESPECIALLY since we're not even using the drilling land we already HAVE set aside!

It's like if a fire breaks out in your house and instead of dousing it with water from your own garden hose, you use the fire as an excuse to break into your neighbor's house and grab a pitcher of water from their kitchen - oh and you get to come in and use their house as you please going forward as well.


Why is it easy for women to manipulate men than the other way around?

Because men crave pussy, therefore it is in high demand. Dick, however is plentiful in supply and the market is flooded with it.

High demand = higher value and higher selling price.
Large supply = lower price and weaker negotiating position.

What's fucked up is that pussy is like oil is now. It's in plentiful supply, but fucking insanely expensive and nobody really knows why.

They the reason oil is high is because of market speculation, but I've heard experts say that speculation only accounts for about $2-$5 dollars per barrel of the cost, which would not cause gas to go from $2 a gallon a little over a year ago to over $4. SO there are other forces at work,

I'll flip the equation, how easy is it for you to find an ugly fat girl and fuck her? I rest my case.

Low demand + high availability = low value.

I could fuck fat ugly girls every day of the week if I could get the Shallow Hall effect thing happening so I wouldn't realize what the fuck I was sticking my dick into.

But given that we want the pussy and they get hit on constantly from the time they are like 12, they see and learn a lot about men's psychologies, habits, techniques and behaviors. So they see us coming and know our game because they've heard it all before.

They become like Veteran Dick Cops. They've heard every perp's lie, seen every scam, every trick, heard every sob story and they can smell the bullshit a mile away, so they're skilled at getting what they want out of these criminals.

Same with us.


What are the main reasons of why we are in a economic slump right now?

Incredible number of things.
Market forces gone awry as a result of 7 years of Christmas Time for corporate criminals.
New investment products like junk bonds, hedge funds and loan bundling and selling, etc - which came into existence after the laws and regulations which govern investment vehicles were written. None of those thigns were anticipated by the laws and under any other administration, would have been reigned in and studied before being approved by the government, by under Bush, were rubber stamped and approved without any study or safeguards because Bush's entire presidency was an inside heist job by the corporate elites.

AND Bush blocked bills in Congress which would have prevented the mortgage crisis from happening in the first place, after they saw it coming and warned them and tried to put the brakes on it.

Add to that Bush's tax cuts for the super wealthy, his slashing of every educational and sex ed, condom distribution and pregnancy prevention program so the population exploded as it has in the last 7 years and you get an enormous strain on our resources.

Combine that with his purposefully lax border enforcement and the swarming millions of illegal Mexicans that have come over to this country to work for pennies for the corporations (increasing their profits while keeping costs low), selling drugs and setting up gangs (increasing the drain on our police and drug enforcement) and you get an even more enormous burden on our medical, welfare, school systems and food resources.
Jesus fucking Christ and how many kids are these immigrants going to keep churning out?!! I saw a family of 8 the other day and the father couldn't have been older than 21-22! All those kids have to be cared for, fed, schooled, given medical attention, etc. All of that kills the economy when the parents are only earning $5 an hour and paying taxes on that tiny amount of money.

Supply and demand. High supply of cheap abor means no demand for good, high paying jobs.

Suddenly, there's not as much to go around and more mouths to feed, less decent jobs (why create a job position that pays $10 an hour when you can hire a Mexican to do it for $5?).

So American joblessness beings to increase. Crime increases. Poverty increases. Drug use increases.

Add to that hot fucking mess the horror that is NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) where U.S> companies, in an effort to continue to create and grow stock shareholder value/revenue rather than just solid profits, began to ship their factories over to Mexico and India and China where they could pay the workers $1 a day rather than $10 an hour, cutting the cost of manufacturing an item by 50%, allowing them to sell it cheaper, thereby selling more of them and making more profits on every item, which makes the company's stock value go up, which is all they NOW car about.

And then, add the Bush corporate criminal culture and realize that the Republicans wrote new laws which now SUBSIDIZE (use American tax payer dollars) to HELP companies move their factories overseas and give them TAX BREAKS FOR DOING SO - at YOUR expense!

Combine that with the massive, multi-trillion dollar deficit-financed (meaning we borrowed money on credit from China's banks instead of raising taxes and paying for it as we go along like Bill Clinton did) wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The wars triggered the higher deficit and eventually the collapse of the housing market, which killed off the much of the construction industry, which hurt a lot of retail stores that relied on people buying shit to decorate their houses, etc, etc, etc. The trickle down effect of the shit rolling down hill hit every sector, fucking shit up.

Then because gas is no $4 a gallon, every product that has to be trucked around from one state to another and around town now has to be more expensive because the cost of transporting it has risen. So the prices of goods also goes up, especially food.

Because fuel is so expensive, the government goes apeshit trying to add ethanol to thin out the gas, so it's more abundant and cheaper.
But ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn and it's expensive as hell. And it takes lots and lots of corn to make one gallon of ethanol, so we pour half our entire national corn suupply into making ethanol.

But corn is the central ingredient in almost half the foods we eat (look at how often corn is found in cereals, snack chips, etc) as well as much of what we feed our cattle and other livestock animals we need for food.

So the price of food shoots up as a result of the corn shortage.
I mean, it's a fucking domino effect unlike any you've seen in your entire lifetime.

There are more factors involved, but I think that's a good shortlist of reasons.


Ok, It's more likely that Obama will be in the Oval Office by 2009, but will he being the president of the United States will open the door to more men of color AND women?

Yes, but believe it or not, Dennis Haysbert, the Black President on Fox's TV show 24 opened the door for a Black candidate for president to be taken seriously.
And Geena Davis in the ABC series "The Commander In Chief" helped make Hillary look viable, way before Obama and Hillary ran.

But yes, once Obama is President and Americans see how the entire WORLD embraces Obama, how our standing in the world improves, terrorism declines precipitously, foreign nations begin to work with us again and use their power to help improve our trade positions with those countries we now owe money to (thanks to Bush) and Obama shows true visionary leadership in times of global crisis, America will begin to realize that they were missing out on incredible opportunities because of their racism and the door for other minority and woman candidates will be pushed further open.

I suspect that once Obama leaves office, if the country is in a much better shape and place than it's in right now that a woman president could be next (though female heads of state are nothing new (Kim Campbell - Prime Minister of Canada, Margaret Thatcher - P.M. of Great Britain, Indira Ghandi- PM of India, Golda Meir - PM of Israel, Benezir Bhuto - President of Pakistan, Angel Merkel - Chancellor of Germany, etc, etc.)


And will people will try to bring him down during his time in office?

Of course. He's the first non-White head of state of a major country and the head of the largest (though declining) superpower/empire of the world so the scrutiny will be massive and no matter how transformative his presidency is, he'll never be given credit for what he manages to accomplish.

But work his heart out for us and his daughters.


Is it really worth it to work hard for years and years to get that career you wanted or it's better to try and take every shortcut possible?

Shortcuts are always great, as long as they don't risk you going to jail. But there's no substitute for learning your craft, then taking shortcuts.

If you haven't done your homework and don't have any depth of knowledge in your field, then you can find yourself out of your depth, in deep shit and with no idea of what to do to make it right.

It always helps to have some gray hairs on your roster to turn to when a fire breaks out and you need a cool headed, steady hand to help guide you back onto the path. ;-)


Do you believe in Kama?

Karma? No. I believe in Vibrations. What you think about and focus on expands. And what you send out to the universe, you create more of, even in your own life. Violence attracts violence, etc.
But it's possible to short circuit that feedback loop by shifting your vibrational set-point on any topic. So just because you may have been a loser all your life doesn't mean you can't up and change that today, this very moment, just by shifting your vibration and thought (same difference) to what you would like to attract.


What's the REAL answer of stopping violence in urban cities?

Understanding the causes of violence.:

Poverty + Lack of options + Ignorance.

Even if you're poor, if you have options to relieve stress and find value in your life and cope with your struggles, you won't turn to violence. Lots of people turn to the church, dancing, basketball, etc to relieve stress and meet their 6 Human Needs:

1) Certainty/Comfort
2) Uncertainty/Variety
3) Significance
4) Connection/Love
5) Personal Growth
6) Contribution

If you lack options, but you're wealthy, chances are you're not so stressed out, just bored, and unlikely to be violent.

If you're take only 2 out of the 3 trifecta that creates violence (Poverty + Lack of options + Ignorance), you don't have the requisite formula for violence, so you don't see great numbers of violent people that fit into those categories.

But when you take poor, ignorant people without a lot of options in meeting those six human needs, you start to see violent individuals emerge.


You think that the real enemy is in North Korea and not the Middle East?

No, North Korea is another rogue nation, but just this week they agreed to dismantle their primary uranium enrichment nuclear facility and blew up the main silo where they produced it in order to ease U.S. and U.N. sanctions against them.

Kim Jong Il is fucking crazy, but not stupid. He knows North Korea is just a fucking blip on the scope to us and if we get tired of their shit that with tactical bombs, we could wipe out their most vital infrastructure and STILL shoot down their few little missiles before they ever got a chance to leave their airspace (we believe they only produced enough fissionable material to create like 1 or 2 nukes).

However, they wouldn't nuke us. They'd nuke South Korea, which is our ally in the region. That would NOT be good for us.

But in the end, they realize that the world is globalization-bound, so they need to be able to compete. They want and need greater access to emerging global markets in order to exploit their technological and labor advantages , so they've decided to play ball - for now.

Now, the Middle East is a fucked up place of religious zealotry and pseudo-theocratic governments where the powerful use the name of Allah to control and subjugate their people. Those with the money and the oil, basically the cash-rich OPEC countries (OPEC = Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc, keep their citizens in line by using money and military power.
Those countries that are poorer use religion and extremist movements to keep the citizenry scared and off balance and obedient.
And all the time the oil flows and the money piles up in the bank accounts of the royal families and corrupt governments who then funnel cash secretly to extremist religious factions who attack the strategic interest of the West in the region in order to create wars, conflict and spikes in the price and demand for oil, as well as to justify price gouging and price fixing.

If we develop alternative fuels and break our dependence on foreign oil and hen eventually do away with oil as a fuel (replaced by electric/hydrogen/biofuel) then the Middle East will destabilize, it's citizens and governments will go broke and nobody will deal with them.

The Middle East is a region of incredibly inhospitable and intolerant government and peoples with savage religious extremism (public stonings and beheadings even in this day and age?!!) built into their culture and way of life.

NOBODY else in the world wants to do business with them, but they've got all the oil and they are willing to drill for it and export it, so we all hold our noses and pretend to be okay with these angry-all-the-time, suicide bombing, irrational, religious nutjobs who beat their women, force them to wear veils and burkas over their faces and cover every inch of their hair because THEY can't control themselves if they even see a woman's face, so the women have to suffer, they behead people, cut off hands, etc.

Middle Easterners are in a very unique position because throughout history, nations who have traded with each other have done so by being hospitable and peaceful, going out of their way to entice other nations to do business with them by being more cooperative and even adopting foreign styles and culture via the natural cultural exchange that occurs.
But eh Middle East has always been a "FUCK YO.. We have the oil and if you want our oil, you're going to have to just shut the fuck up and tolerate our hopelessly fucking backwards, regressive, misogynist, tribalistic, savage religiously irrational behavior - and do it with a smile.

Trust that the fucking INSTANT oil is no longer used for fuel that the Middle East will be fucking ABANDONED by the rest of the world.
And then THEY will experience a cultural shift as their people go into extreme poverty and religion won't be enough to tamp down on the violence and histrionics that will wend it's way through the populations.

The entire Middle East will be reshaped, secular rule will be installed and eventually, those people will start getting laid, watching HBO and stop being so fucking angry all the time.

Plus with the royal families control the now useless oil wells, new money will come in the form of some new product or service, but now THEY are going to have to show the world that they are not just angry little Semites living in the desert that don't know how to shave their beards and that they can be pleasant and accommodating and open to new business.

In short, they will join the global economy.

(Sorry Unstable, nothing personal against Arabs/Semites/Muslims.)

But the REAL evil today comes from China, Russia (back on the make, bucking for super power status again) and India. Yes, India. who, although the people are nice and the businesses are amenable to our interests, have ZERO environmental standards and are the greatest 3rd world source of carbon emmisions.

China and India (Asia in general) is so hellbent on turning a profit at any price, that they are willing to destroy the planet to do so.

If China doesn't clean up its' act, I see a 3rd world war coming. And this shit will be ugly as China's got hella nukes...

You know what i often think. Fuck the US and UN, if a country wants dto produce uranium. Its their fucking ground let them do what they want. If you feel its beginning to form a threat, BECAUSE YOU HAVE PROOF!!!! they'r making weapons out of them, then you can let the UN negoriate. Keep your troops out, its non of your business.

Seriously if i had a country, i would be saying cheese in every spy sattelite while tapping uranium. I'd say fuck you, you betta shut up before i start aiming them missiles at your doorsteps

That's exactly the problem. You see many governments and cultures are very similar to individual people.

For example in America we have laws that say that psychopaths, criminals and the mentally insane people are not permitted to purchase handguns.

Why? Because they are fucking crazy and eager to kill. That's why, although we all have the RIGHT to have guns, not everyone is PERMITTED to have them.

Same thing with nations. There are some nations who have stable democracies, who are responsible and who will never use a nuke except for defense and then there are some fucking crazy countries - Take North Korea or many of the terrorist-sponsoring Middle Eastern countries - who should NEVER be allowed to develop nuclear weapons because they would potentially use them OFFENSIVELY.

See, most Western countries value life. So the concept of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) has meaning to them. They would never consider sacrificing themselves or their citizens for any reason.

Meanwhile, many Middle Eastern countries believe in jihad, suicide bombings (which they call martyrdoms) and promise the poor, angry, celibate young men that they will go to heaven and have 50+ virgins if they will blow themselves up to kill Americans, etc.

So there's the possibility that they would nuke the U.S. or sell nukes to extremist groups who would take a nuclear weapon into the U.S. and detonate it manually, so there's no missile launch to trace back.

Nuclear weapons are population killers. They can kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people. The power to wipe out great swaths of humanity with the push of a button is NOT the kind of power you want just ANY country to have.

If a country is willing to use nuclear weapons to force their religious beliefs on others or push their morality on others, then they are not rational and should never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

I know you're looking at the nuclear issues as foreigners interfering with what sovereign nations do on their own land with their own resources.

But look at it from a rational, intelligent, impersonal perspective: there are countries where their religion with extremist and sadistic elements rule the government. Where citizens are encouraged to kill themselves in order to bomb Western targets. Where they behead people, cut of hands, stone people for no reason and many other barbaric atrocities.

These are civilizations who can't honestly be called civilized because as a whole, they don't value life very much at all and are willing to throw it away in hatred and rage to take as many people with them as possible.

Why in the world would you allow them to develop weapons that they can use to kill you, knowing they not only have no problem doing os but are eager and desiring to see you die?

Would you let your next door neighbor start a fire in your building? No because you know it could burn down the entire building, including your apartment.

I'm sorry Unstable, but this isn't about sovereign right. It's about survival.

Crazy rogue nations should never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. I say those that try to should be stopped at all costs.

But hey, that's just my opinion. :smartass:

Look, invading Iraq was wrong for every reason you can name. But keeping Iran from gaining nuclear weapons when we have proof that they sponsor terrorist organizations who have attacked the U.S. is a worthy goal.

Fortunately, Iran is not seeking openly nuclear weapons, so that's not a concern.

[unstable]

From that point of view, you are right. But I think the world should have one Independent army who is checking that stuff and if needed they can act.

If the US will attack any country they think is bad, that will create hate.
You should walk around here for one day and listen what people got to say about the united states. They say less bad things about Bin Laden for gods sake.

[MorpheusX]

From that point of view, you are right. But I think the world should have one Independent army who is checking that stuff and if needed they can act.

That's exactly what the U.N. is supposed to be, but they need more money and more support in order to be a truly multinational police force.
But it COULD be necessary to act unilaterally in order to protect your country's survival. However, no such occasion has presented itself and certainly NOT the case in the invasion of Iraq.



If the US will attack any country they think is bad, that will create hate.

Of course! I'm not for U.S. being the World Police and invading or attacking every country we just don't like. Who the fuck are we? And who the fuck are we to judge another culture?

We SHOULD just mind our own fucking business and just conduct business with those countries we do get along with and worry about making THIS country better instead of going around acting like a fucking Empire.

And that's EXACTLY what the American public wants, especially now. But we don't have the power. The government does. And the government in power right now is corrupt, so until we vote them out and replace them with one headed by Barack Hussein Obama, we're going to continue having problems with the rest of the world.



You should walk around here for one day and listen what people got to say about the united states. They say less bad things about Bin Laden for gods sake.

Well, GEORGE W. BUSH decided he wanted to be a fucking Cowboy and a war criminal, not America. Tens of Millions of Americans were against the invasion of Iraq (including me) and protested it before it even began. But the Bush administration didn't listen or care. They wanted their war so they could make money from weapons and oil. They got everything they wanted and left Afghanistan and Iraq in fucking pieces and ruined our country's economy, human rights record, civil rights and fucked up our reputation and image to the rest of the world.

So no, we're not happy.

But just because the last President was an asshole that deserves to be executed for war crimes and treason doesn't mean that the next one should close his eyes to nuclear proliferation in penance for his predecessor's horrific actions.

We need dialog, honest communication and diplomacy with all other nations, even with the ones we don't "like". War should be the LAST option - the very last thing you resort to once you've exhausted all other diplomatic and financial means and your country is in imminent or near-imminent DANGER.

Obama will try very hard to try and heal some of the wounds the U.S. has made on the face of the world these last 7 years, but it's going to take people from around the world to give the U.S. an opportunity to show that we are not monstrous, ignorant warmongers.

Just a country who's government was taken over in a bloodless coupe, that sat powerless while the corrupt dictatorial government committed unspeakable atrocities in our name.

But we're going to fix that in 4 months' time. ;-)

[unstable]

But we're going to fix that in 4 months' time. ;-)

I hope so. I certainly liked the US as a place to live. IF you have a descent job.

Im planning to work and live in the US. Should be a matter of 2-4 years
(I was in Fairfax County so i guess i have only seen the good side lol)

[MorpheusX]

Try New York. A LOT of diversity, open minded people and lots of fun things to do.

[MrLegacy]

No, not for some time. American's love affair with large vehicles that denote status, place them physically higher on the road than the rest of traffic so that they feel superior and make them feel larger and more imposing is something that appeals to the American's feeling of sexual and financial inadequacy.


Sometimes I really don't understand why men will buy a big ass SUV to compensate for their small penis...:no:


Because Bush is an oil man to begin with and makes all his money on oil, even today and McCain will need ExxonMobil and the other big oil companies to fund his current and future campaigns, so he's selling out the country in order to gain special interest donations.


All the funding in the world won't help McCain to win the 08 election...alotta conservatives gonna have a fuckin reality check and jaws dropped once Obama get in office...


What's fucked up is that pussy is like oil is now. It's in plentiful supply, but fucking insanely expensive and nobody really knows why.

So true...Porn Industry, Strippers, Hookers can make madd money off a guy who can creamed in his without even touching him amazing...I swear if I wasn't married and really desperate for sex...I'd be paying for it too...lol


Because fuel is so expensive, the government goes apeshit trying to add ethanol to thin out the gas, so it's more abundant and cheaper.
But ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn and it's expensive as hell. And it takes lots and lots of corn to make one gallon of ethanol, so we pour half our entire national corn suupply into making ethanol.

So the price of food shoots up as a result of the corn shortage.
I mean, it's a fucking domino effect unlike any you've seen in your entire lifetime.

There are more factors involved, but I think that's a good shortlist of reasons.


Dude! Last Year me and my wife usually buy groceries that come to bout $90-$100, now the same food that we buy comes up to nearly $200!!!:yikes: I'm like wtf why shit cost so much I mean a gallon of milk cost over $4...shit!

But you know who REALLY got it bad? Hawaii...cause since most of their food is from the mainland, they are paying hefty price for groceries...the price for a gallon of milk over there is like over $7!!!!


But yes, once Obama is President and Americans see how the entire WORLD embraces Obama, how our standing in the world improves, terrorism declines precipitously, foreign nations begin to work with us again and use their power to help improve our trade positions with those countries we now owe money to (thanks to Bush) and Obama shows true visionary leadership in times of global crisis, America will begin to realize that they were missing out on incredible opportunities because of their racism and the door for other minority and woman candidates will be pushed further open.

Is a Mexican President is not that far behind?


Of course. He's the first non-White head of state of a major country and the head of the largest (though declining) superpower/empire of the world so the scrutiny will be massive and no matter how transformative his presidency is, he'll never be given credit for what he manages to accomplish.

Will they still give him a hard time even if he shaping up our country?


If you haven't done your homework and don't have any depth of knowledge in your field, then you can find yourself out of your depth, in deep shit and with no idea of what to do to make it right.


See that's the thing, I DO!!!! I have a associate degree in Computer Information systems, I have my A+ Certification, my Network+, And my MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) Certification and I STILL can't get a fucking job in my field. Sometimes I be going fucking crazy that I don't know what to do! One of my good friends in NY told me to get that job that you wanted you either have to a) know somebody or b) with some luck. And since I don't know nobody here I not getting much luck....I'm thinking I should stop my job searching and continue getting my MCSA and Cisco Certifications...


Karma? No. I believe in Vibrations. What you think about and focus on expands. And what you send out to the universe, you create more of, even in your own life. Violence attracts violence, etc.
But it's possible to short circuit that feedback loop by shifting your vibrational set-point on any topic. So just because you may have been a loser all your life doesn't mean you can't up and change that today, this very moment, just by shifting your vibration and thought (same difference) to what you would like to attract.

Very good point...:yes:

Hmmmm That's so true....When I used to live in the South Bronx I had only only 2 of the trifecta (Poverty and Lack of options) But there was something in me that was like "you know, this shit is not for me" I think high school turn it around for me once I got introduced to QBasic...




Kim Jong Il is fucking crazy, but not stupid. He knows North Korea is just a fucking blip on the scope to us and if we get tired of their shit that with tactical bombs, we could wipe out their most vital infrastructure and STILL shoot down their few little missiles before they ever got a chance to leave their airspace (we believe they only produced enough fissionable material to create like 1 or 2 nukes).

As the gas prices goes up, do you think that the Escalades, the Hummers, and the Excursions of the world would be extinct?
Not extinct, but I think a lot less of those type of SUV will be purchased in the future.

And Why Pres. Bush And John McCain are trying to look for more oil when there are many alternatives for fuel?
"BUSH" because he's an oil man! As for McCain i haven't really did to much reading on him to really know what he's into. But i'm willing to bet he reciving some type of profit off of it also.

Why is it easy for women to manipulate men than the other way around?

What are the main reasons of why we are in a economic slump right now?
The war and that that super fraudulant thing everyone called the housing market!!!

Ok, It's more likely that Obama will be in the Oval Office by 2009, but will he being the president of the United States will open the door to more men of color AND women?
I don't think it will open more doors, i just think people will relize the opportunities are out there you just need to go after them.

And will people will try to bring him down during his time in office?
Of course

Is it really worth it to work hard for years and years to get that career you wanted or it's better to try and take every shortcut possible?
That depends on your personality. I think it's worth it to work hard, but not for years and years.

Do you believe in Kama?
Nope!!!

The people there have to change their mind set first. hey have to want to succeed instead of just wanting to get by.

Just wanted to weigh in on the big SUV comments: I have one and bought it simply because I always wanted one. No 'little dick' complex here. After you work hard for so many years, you want to reward yourself. And I'm a big guy, so an econo car wasn't an option for me.

I dunno. I'm 6 feet tall, but I weight 283 lbs (down from 310 a few months back), so I'm a reasonably big guy myself, yet I drive a 1999 Honda Accord.
Sure I have to swing my legs in sideway when I get in, but I fit comfortably in it. Plus it's rated for 22 MPG (even though realistically it's more like 18), and when you use hypermile driving techniques, you can get very good fuel economy. Some hypermilers get 40-50 miles to the gallon in their Accords.

I fill up my tank and when I hypermile it, I get around 25 miles to the gallon, in actual miles. Sometimes I drive for a loooong ass time, days in fact, before the needle even budges from the Full line in the tank.

Now those gas guzzlers are about to become a serious liability economically.
Only the very wealthy will still be sporting them. Now they're REALLY be a status symbol! It'll say "I'm a rich, polluting, planet destroying asshole". lol..

No offense of course. I'm speaking about in the future when everyone is driving electric cars.
