I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.earnmore9.com

So you mean most Americans actually know there is a world beyond Ca? A disturbingly high precentage of Americans are not able to identify where India is on a world map, let alone Syria or Eyeraq. But, hey, Dancin with Stars is on and Cheesy twirls are still available in Walmart.......

That conundrum can be answered by an association quiz.

 

If I were to say retarded would they think about
a.)  their ignition timing, or
b.)  Rachel Dolezal?

You deserve that money. I can't imagine how much it hurts to shove that gigantic thing up in there with such vigor. And that guy doing that in your mouth! Your healthcare plan must cost you 6K a month to cover treating whatever disease is festering on his thing. Put that money in the bank kid. When you hit puberty, business will drop off.

All the world's indeed a stage

and we merely players

Performers and portrayers

Each another's audience

Outside the gilded cage

 

Integrity, and a realistic view as to the nature of fame and fortune.

Just recently took my 17yo step-son to see his first Rush concert.

He didn't know many of their songs, but came away quite impressed.

"Jeez, those 3 guys sound like 30 on stage. That was the loudest thing I had ever heard." Told him he should listen to my albums and actually read the lyrics and it would likely give him a much deeper appreciation of them, as it did for me.

He knows I love their music. I figured he may not appreciate it at his current age (unlike me, when I was his age), but 20 years from now, he'll be able to say "Man, I went to their last large tour," and maybe by then he'll appreciate how musicianship, music AND lyrics combine to make great songs with a theme. That, and maybe he'll move away from the garbage he listens to now.

One can hope.

My babies were each exposed to Rush- at high volume.  Our youngest is 21 just now, and wants to hear limelight from the vinyl, quite frequently.

She understands.

Geographers and Cartographers.  It's what we do in our spare time to keep the ordinary American ignorant of what actually goes on in the world.

You could just as easily be talking about the Chinese with a statement like that. China is American exceptionalism in the making.

Brits wrote the playbook on how to take down exceptionalism aka the opium for tea scam on the Chinese in the first place. Same playbook being used on the US right now.

Jsde helm is only practice and "a testing of the waters". In the near future a much larger "crisis" will be where the knowledge and conditioning gleaned from the exercise will used to an advantage by TP TB.

It may also be a honeypot... Let's see who moves their pieces around when we leak info about a constitution-bending civilian military exercise, shall we?

Uh..little catch phrases like"hey dude",and "soccer moms",came out of mid 80's hollywood..Back in the 60's,when we were putting men on the moon (and I'm assuming most middle aged people grew up in the 50's,and 60's),nobody talked like that..Middle-class Americans of that era were learning French at 15, travelling in vans to the Yucatan Peninsula at 17, drafted at 18,travelling the world by 19 (courtesy of unkle sam),and had experienced more of life by 20,than the average 40 year old today..

I saw a black ( or i think blank, maybe caribbean) chick walking down the right hand side of the street while i was driving carrying a big cross, like she was going to golgotha.....meanwhile....next to the 3 dollar car wash she had passed, i noticed the cross had wheels on it, good thing too. 

I dont like any religions, not a one.  lao txu or chauang tzu are the closet material any human should read, but christians make shit.  Kepp keep trash going, water pouring out of faucets, pave roads, print numbers on sidewalks, maintain gas lines, and a million other small things that keep this place going.  So i like them better than all others.  Plus they also give me their women which is really cool of them.
