hey hey stranger!
i dont know why you second guess yourself in regards to how you are perceived based on peoples subjective and highly irrational understandings.

humans...a curious lot.

you are a total sweetie.you are just super sensitive and some people never really understood that about you.
your husband is an idealist.
thats not a bad thing,in fact that can be a very good thing.

we NEED people to be dreamers and your husband is a dreamer and sometimes that can be frustrating if you are in an argument with him (which i have been).

i didnt always agree with him but i always liked him.

some here on the sift have questioned my friendship with @chingalera.
they didnt understand.
i seemed to be so much more approachable and less acidic in my commentary.
so how could i align myself with such a trollish sifter?

the answer is simply because i get him.
we BOTH are idealists.
just like your husband.
the difference lies in that both ching and i battle,on a daily basis,the rising tide of cynicism.

a cynicism that was born out of being beaten,imprisoned,lied to,betrayed and many times by the very people and/or institutions that we once were idealistic about.

disillusion is a real motherfucker.

yet we still retain that idealism.
we both are humanists.
we care about people.

so everything we do or say is with that at its heart.
so when ching is berating somebody,they may perceive that as an attack.
and it is but it is NOT an attack on them,personally,but rather an attack on their media-induced mythology.
or maybe a person is suffering a severe case of myopia and needs to be shaken out of their apathetic dystopia.

but its always,and i mean ALWAYS to get someone to look at a situation with a different perspective or challenge a belief.
to get people to actually think.
to not just give in to authority but to realize ALL authority is illegitimate until proven otherwise.

i tend to use less shocking and confrontational vernacular than ching does.so that may explain peoples confusion why i consider him a friend.

but if you understood his intent,the words he uses would have less of an emotional impact.

note* by my commentary i am not excusing,condoning nor dismissing chings very real outbursts that actually did hurt some feelings.
but i also know that when people get their feelings hurt they sometimes lash out (and i also suspect that those outbursts were in conjunction with copious amounts of booze).

passionate people are just as sensitive as the next and can/will retaliate in kind when hurt.i know i have.

which brings me to the actual point at hand (sorry..i tend to rant).

why would we remove/negate anything from the archives?
the organic growth and procession of a community should be held intact.
warts and all.
to remove,edit or scrub clean serves nothing,except to maybe repeat past indiscretions.

we never use the ignore button.
nor the sarcasm or jokingly.
so why would we erase the communities past dealings?
be they enlightening or incredibly droll?
its who we were and gives us all a marker where we may be going.

just a thought.

Because historically, Australia was fulla drunks and rounders, the exiled and the wild-
Blame Prohibition in the U.S. for the terminology: “Soft Drink” refers to most beverages that do not contain an inordinate amount of alcohol (hard drink)-Booze bees the culprit, although a lifetime of soda on the tummy is as hard a drink as you can get as far your stomach-lining is concerned.

The important thing to take away from this kids is: Even your most innocuous suspicions are correct and any behavior unbecoming of a booze drinking american is proof positive that brown guy is a terrorist.

And since the gov't is usually not allowed the resources to hire a crack web application developer and server resources. They usually have to contract out for such things. In all likelyhood, it's a private company responsible for the server issues.

In addition, it's ALSO likely that since it's federal, they contract a lot of their stuff out to Booz Hamilton, the same company that hired....ta da! Edward Snowden!!

The booze on the table would suggest that she's half in the bag already, and it also looks like she's already falling backwards before she could collapse her arms. Doesn't matter though, had she collapsed them or not, she was still going to fall backwards, and if her head was at the wrong angle that could be potentially worse than a leg on fire.

You can see the booze bottle and FULL shot glass she falls on...

Your video, What you're not being told about Snowden and Booz Allen., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

it follows that Booz Allen and the NSA would have a preference for fear and unrest in order to legitimize their massive and insanely expensive existence.

it also follows that Booz Allen, in a culture of open bribery, purchase their congressmen, in order to preserve the status quo and ensure their continued existence.

When was the last time someone walked into a food court and killed a bunch of people with a hoagie and a large coke? Booze is allowed and can be dangerous, but it is also illegal to drink and drive, also being drunk isn't a legit court defence.

Don't ban guns, like I said, they are tools for a lot of people where I live. Things like shotguns, hunting rifles are things that are needed to survive. Maybe it's the difference between Canada and the US. I trust my police services to defend me when I call.

I still don't see the point of hand guns for the public. Why does anyone need one? Again, it could be a difference of culture. Why would anyone need an assault weapon? Call the cops.

*edit: I also hate that Piers is using this to make himself like a hero. To me, him doing this is the same as when Fox News brings on the Phelps family to boost ratings.

Lyrics:
I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday

I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I thought that if I didn’t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn’t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I must quit, I must quit, you

I wonder what her point is, assuming there is a point. Is this just absurdism? Commentary on fame, celebrity, music, pop music? Is she mocking high art society? Is it a John Cage 'art is what you put your frame around' kind of thing? Is she purposely provoking the audience? Daring them to laugh? Are these supposed to be gutrural sounds of raw humanity? Does she hate the song or Katy Perry? Too much booze? I never really get where she is coming from.

I don't imagine this being filmed & laughed at with someone in there. Maybe there was booze in the hydraulics

I've often wondered what my cat had been up to during the night... and why she was smelling of booze

You could make serious money by having one of these and renting them to parties (including the alcohol as well, such that you make money from both the rental and the booze).

Here's my suggestions for channels
~Subterfuge (artifice, bluff, device, hoax, ploy, stratagem, trick, deception of all kinds)
~Beavershots & Moonbeams (exactly as it reads)
~Liquor channel (Booze)
~Channel N°5 (fashion)
