...intolerance; we hear a lot about offending others. We have this thing called "political correctness," so that we don't accidentally offend or insult anyone. But I see a double standard in our culture regarding curse words, swear words, "four-letter words" -- whatever you want to call them. Yes, times are changing, and many people are no longer offended by the use of such words in everyday...
I feel like a snot pinata. My Nicaraguan cold did not, in fact, go away like I thought it was. Now, I am full of snot. It is gross. I took some Nyquil last night and slept for 10 hours. That stuff seriously... particularly Irish dark comedy is rather unique, I might still like it. Off to go do something marginally useful with myself. I guess I have to pick out a meal for tonight and make a grocery list
Lately, my heart has been calling out to the youth of other countries. I don't know why--considering that I've only been overseas once and that was when I was born--but something about different cultures...love to be a part of it. I'd love to be a part of SOMETHING. Oh boy . . . I'm getting restless. I love this town but sometimes it's too small for me. Gots to get to work. More on this later. Cassandr
... (not the one with the papers ), here are the five bases: In brief, the theory proposes that five innate and universally available psychological systems are the foundations of “intuitive ethics.” Each culture then constructs virtues, narratives, and institutions on top of these foundations, thereby creating the unique moralities we see around the world, and conflicting within nations too. The foundations...
S o, I was at Giant Eagle yesterday, and picked up the latest issue of Cosmo. Cosmo is dull and getting duller, along with the many other fashion/sex/diet magazines. The fashion portion is GREAT. Styles...pound this into people's head day in and day out, but if the DISCIPLINE is not there, they are always going to look for an escape or a new "trend" in dieting That's my health schpeel for the day.
Every year:
"Digital Dark Age" – preservation of information on aging media
The Internet is Broken – lack of authentication/trust considerations in major protocols
Every 3 months:
...is doing something – how can we make them look bad and accuse them of monopolization?
Every 4 years:
E-voting – it's about more than just killing puppies!
What am I missing?
Что одной из групп, которая вдохновила эмо-течение, по мнению одного замечательного культуролога, была Placebo. Можно отметить, что Брайн Молко приглянулся эмо мейк-апом и, возможно, своей бисексуальностью...худобу лица. Челки нет. Челка есть. Глаза опять закрыты. Можно ли считать сигарету символом самоубийства? Можно. Черный цвет. Спасибо kult-urolog.livejournal.com/ за размышления.
Okay, after trying Pandora to get my bearings in the music world and then splurging on CD's from bands with actual labels mostly from Buzzards and Half-Price Books, and after going to my first concert...along a similar line as well. There are others, but this is enough for now. I'll pick up a copy of the Volcano when I'm out tomorrow to see when any of these groups will be playing in the near future
...onto OverSexualisation. The way how 'being sexy' is everything is creating a lot of problems: anorexic and depressed teenage girls, a loss of focus on more important activities and a rampant consumer culture surrounding the concept of sexy, just to name a few. Liberty gave us the freedom to talk about matters concerning sexuality, but this abuse of the liberty, which I suspect is mainly driven by corporate...
