power corrupts,absolute power corrupts absolutley
Says Satan, but, never God.
In other words, it is never the people with the highest power who thinks they are more corrupt, it is the people who struggle to gain the power - and, they are already corrupt, or, they would not be vying for power, to begin with; especially not if they truly believed it would corrupt them.

I wonder how I ever got to be (almost) 50 without needing to have a gun, or any weapon to sustain me .. thru the terrors of life
When I was a kid, I lived in a State with one street gang, who sometimes robbed places like KFC, making sure to do it when it was empty. There were no drive-bys, there were no drug dealers standing on the corner or harassing children at the school. When I was a teenager, there was still none- except that one pusher, who got shot n the chest for trying.
And, if it wasn't for America getting oh so tough on gun laws, there probably still wouldn't be. Because, criminals, and, politicians, are all oh so much more polite to a well-armed populace. It's really hard to get up the gumption to steal someone's farm, or, invade a home, when you know there will be a gun waiting on the other side of the door, held by a person who would just rather you change your plans.
Guns are a wonderful deterrent to crime. They do not sustain you, unless you need to hunt. But, in the case of living in a society where the criminal elements have so many rights, they do help equalize the playing field.

But, if you are going to discount the actual experience and knowledge of people who have Fibromyalgia, you are not going to get anywhere! The primary point that was being asked about is, will pain play cause Fibromyalgia, and, the main point to my answer is that no, it will not. I don't need evidence to make that statement, as I AM THE EVIDENCE, in this case. You want proof of that? Go screw yourself.

However, what would make it a good profile to me, regardless of whether he was what I wanted (or I was what he wanted), is if it was friendly, rather than bragging; if it displayed personality, rather than a rich fantasy life; and, if he seemed honest, instead of telling me he was. I really can't stand the profiles that say things like "Of course, a submissive must never wear clothes, so Mistress would force me to be nude at all times", or, things like that. It's crap! There is no "of course" about those things, until you narrow it down to a particular Mistress and she is telling you so. But, it's fine to say that you enjoy being nude, in some way where it does not sound like you are attempting to force your potential owner into doing things just as you think they ought to be done. |

SlavesNotToys Vanilla Posts: 12 Joined: 7/2/2011 Status: offline | You know, I read these little things, occasionally, wherein it is speculated as to why the media, and others, are so very vitriolic when it comes to Sarah Palin, and, it amuses me, greatly - in a way that makes me want to kick people in the head and start a revolution. Fortunately, I am not political and I will not do so. Sarah Palin is not Alaskan. She was not born in Alaska, and, she spent the majority of her life living a very civil, as in citified, existence. Who says so? Alaskans. The ones who know by what criteria someone is, and is not, considered to be Alaskan. This is separate from what the Federal Government says, true; but, since the Federal Government is, also, not Alaskan, no one much cares for their opinion on the subject. However, the media thinks she is Alaskan and the media is, whether it admits it or not, highly influenced by the government. Why do you think the few despicably honest reporters suddenly retired or died, when the whole sham election, 911, etal happened and we all moved ever so much closer to living in a Facist, Neo Nazi state of existence? The American government never liked Alaska and never had any attention of making it a State. It only made it a territory with the intention of strip mining it, clear cutting the timber, and, tossing it back in the ocean, as it were. In other words, it was purchased as that worthless piece of land which could be used for its resources, without thought to the consequences to the environment or the people who lived there. The only reason Alaskans voted to become a State was that it was the only form of protection they could get from the American government, who spent its time trying to force them to remain a territory, so that it could steal their resources and oppress them. This is not the first State in the Union this has happened to. If you don't believe that, read the history of Texas, sometime! The only reason the American government ended up accepting Alaska as a State is that the Governor of Hawaii, who had no interest in Hawaii being a State, and, the Governor of Alaska, made a pact between them that Hawaii would only become a State if Alaska were made a State first. This is why Alaskans love Hawaii, why it is their first and best destination for vacations. There are places that are cheaper to go, easier to get to, but, none who have gone so far as to sacrifice their freedom to protect the innocent from the depredations of a corrupt government. One of the reasons that the Feds hate Alaska so very well is that, despite rumors, there are no Reservations there. Alaskans could have put the Natives in Reservations, and, it would have gone much better for the rest of the citizens of Alaska if they had. Yet, they refused to. They refused to believe that the color of someone's skin or what sort of house they lived in was any sort of proof of inability to live in America and thrive, so, rather than oppress the Alaskan Natives and force them to live on Reservations, they helped them start their own Corporations, learn to run them, and, made an agreement with them as to what lands the Natives would keep and what lands could be used by everyone as citizens of Alaska, the State of America. In other words, Alaska did what America should have done to start with, when they became a country. It left a stench in the nostrils of those who like to believe that the American Indians were treated in the only logical way, at the time. The American government, even after Alaska became a State, made laws to prohibit Alaskans from governing themselves, and, would not allow the criminal prosecution of those politicians the Americans appointed to run the State, even when they stole millions of dollars from the people. That was the plan - to bankrupt the State and force it back to being a territory, because, ladies and germs, that is what they can do with States, if the States are not capable of caring for themselves. They also made laws that it was illegal for anyone to hire an Alaskan for any job that anyone from any other State wanted. First, the employer would have to advertise in the Lower 48, rejecting Alaskans, and, they would have to accept anyone who was remotely qualified. Then, they would advertise and allow Alaskans to apply, if they still had not filled the position, but, still only in the Lower 48. Then, they could advertise (once they laws were relaxed) within the State of Alaska, but, preference had to be given to non-citizens, even if the non-citizens could not do the work. This is how Alaska became filled with doctors, lawyers, nurses, judges, police men, etc. who were unfit for their position where they were, due to sexual misconduct, violence, thievery, etc. and how so many ex-felons ended up there. The American soldiers went on maneuvers, wherein they were encouraged to shoot people's dogs and shoot at the children in the yards. They were told that Alaskans were not real Americans, but, only people who were forcing themselves onto the American people, and, therefore did not have the same rights as American citizens. In fact, the only reason things got better, in that regard, was that there were many foreigners working in Alaska, at the Air Force and Army Bases, who were so shocked by the treatment of all Alaskan people that they actually helped petition the United Nations for relief for Alaska, to have it declared as its own third world country, to be protected from America .The Alaskan National Guard, when ordered to attack the protesters and treat them as guerrilla soldiers, pointed out that they were ALASKAN National Guard and took the side of the people, rather than the government. This all embarrassed the American government to the point that they started to treat Alaskans almost like human beings. In the 1980's there was actually a vote taken to make Alaska the nuclear waste dumping grounds for the United States of America and it came terribly close to being passed. They already use it, unofficially, in that capacity, which is why so many native people are born deformed. It is passed off as alcoholism and the problems thereof, but, the people of Alaska know about the nuclear waste being dumped out on Native lands. In other words, the reason why the media is in such a frenzy over Sarah Palin is that she is one of those uppity, not quite real Americans, who should know better than to raise her gaze and look you real Americans in the eye, much less have the temerity to run for office. But, as I said, she is not Alaskan. She did not grow up with this same horrible violence and oppression, as she grew up in Alaskan cities, with other Americans who think they are Alaskans, and, who have no idea of the horror endured by the rest of them. She didn't know she shouldn't expect to be treated like an American citizen. She thought that if she ran for office, they would look at her merits, not her supposed place of origin; she thought that if someone burned her in effigy, it would be considered just as much of a crime as if they did it to some other candidate. She didn't know. If she had talked to the fire fighters, who go out in response to natural disasters, who are treated like crap the whole time by American fire fighters, and, ignored by the media while fake heroes who allegedly did the work, instead, were paraded around, because the American government would rather lie to its people than admit that anything about an Alaskan could be an asset, she would have known, though. The fact that she did not know, that she was not forewarned and ready for the battle, is one of the biggest reasons she is not an Alaskan. Do not write to me about this, and, do not expect a response. I was born and raised there, lived there most of my life. I know the truth and I don't care what you think, or, what misinformation you have been fed, that you feel the need to share with me, on any subjects I have brought up, by the way. Just saying, it's not all as cut and dried as you think. |

Even when I was young, and, we'd get stopped by the police for being out late, or whatever the police were stopping us for (being young, I believe), and, they'd ask me why we were ... (doing whatever it was they were pretending was illegal that day, or, on rare occasions, actually was illegal that day) I would reply "Well, if I was going to lie, and, I assure you I am ..." and then I could tell them a lie, that would make them happy to leave us alone. All they wanted was the lie, all my friends wanted was the lie, but, even upon risk of arrest, I couldn't just lie, unless everyone knew it was a story.
Also, when I was in a business class, my teacher returned some papers to me, telling me that I had done a marvelous job on the work, but, that she had to give me a slightly lower grade than I otherwise deserved, and, next time she would give me an F. Why? She seemed to think employers prefer their letters and such without doodles all down the sides and backs of them.
The doodling isn't all bad, though. I once was offered a job as an art director, $26 per hour, at a t-shirt shop, when all I had to show them by way of portfolio was a doodle that I had just drawn as we were out, driving around, looking for places to apply for work. Unfortunately, due to severe bitchiness at home, I had to move and couldn't take it, but, you know ..sometimes OCD works wonders for you.
