What we must consider are the implications of having full and free speech( the unimpeded ability to think as we please and the ability to express ourselves as we please) and weigh the costs or the worst-case scenarios of having such rights against the costs of the existence of stipulations that hinder these rights.
In the 1930’s the Timber and Paper industry was at an all time high. With this Growing Industry stood floods of manual labor or migrant workers who carried a certain plant called cannabis with them. They just happened to be Mexican and African.
Have you ever found your curiosity extending to the point where, whenever you hear about or read about something strange, you use Google (21st century's best friend) to search deeper into it?
With pitchforks and torches they come, knives sharp as the rows of teeth their mouths seem to contain stretching back deeper than light its self dares to enter
The future is a scary place, and some of you (Kt) have come a long way from where you started. Who here reading this knows how to use a rotary dial? Who here knows what a rotary dial is? My guess is, if you're twenty or older, you know what one is. If you're about thirty, you may know how to use one.
For the lucky locals in this city of tourism, there is an event celebrated each month in Downtown Las Vegas that is known as First Friday. This cool and hip festival entangles art on its many forms.
I will never forget that red car from my childhood memories. In those memories, it was always the same man in the driver's seat. He would always smile and laugh at me and I would always sleep in his car or look at the window and get fascinated with the tall buildings. Thank you for keeping us safe whenever we go to the mall or to my school.
I don't know what I expected when I went to see 'Hall Pass', but it was nothing that I saw on screen. Ever wonder what would happen if two sex-obsessed men were given a 'hall pass' by their exaspirated wives?
Who wrote "The Book?" Can anyone really answer that? To be clear, I don't mean "The Book" as in the Bible, the Koran or any other religious knowledge base printed on gold-edged paper and seemingly developed with a scent of age beyond it's years to introduce the experience of beliefs being passed on through "credible" stories for centuries.
This is about player celebrations, not fan celebrations. Here, the fans tend to celebrate by burning car, sometimes with the occupants still in them. The Brits celebrate with what police call "riots". They are, to quote a Brit,"boorish." In certain South American nations they go by the term "revolution".
Men have this tendency to look back on their life and feel ungratified. That's why there are so many grumpy old men. That's also why men don't worry about losing their memories. They want to lose them. Set your goals a little lower, or a lot lower, and you'll be content with your life.
The roach world, while it resembles ours, and exists in ours, is a separate part of the universe. God originally was going to make roaches the intelligent beings on earth and then changed his mind. That's why roaches can be chased, sprayed and killed but never eliminated. Let's look around the roach world for a bit.
Really, didn't the Waltons take way too long to say goodnight? By the time they finished saying goodnight it was time to start saying good morning. How did they ever get any sleep?
I've lived in places and know people who have live in places where an Arctic chill is 10 below zero. An Arctic blast drops the temperature to -20 to -40. That's when you blow out your breath and reach out and catch it. That's when you can freeze your lung breathing. Down here on the Southern coast, though, it's different. Here, an Arctic chill is temps under 32.
Here in Charleston, South Carolina, we have a flooding problem. It's not like when the Mississippi overflows it's banks and certainly not like the Great Flood. Seeing it written like that makes it seem like we're a bunch of whiners. So be it. The problem here is that the original Charles Towne, which is now downtown Charleston is below sea level.
People go on about how dumb animals are and how smart people are. Well, that's nonsense. Animals may not have the intellectual capacity we humans have but they also don't think about doing dumb things to other animals and then go ahead and do it. People do. How smart is that? Let's face it- some people are just plain dumb.
There is a theory going around amongst Physicists, Astrologist and Assorted Nuts that there is a single theory that explains everything. I don't think much of it for two reasons. One, no man can explain any woman and,two, no one understands the theory itself.
Here in South Carolina we have two types of people. Natives and "from off". That's right, from off. The locals say it sneeringly too. It's not a joke. I don't care if you were brought here at one-week old, you always from off. You will never be accepted as anything else. People from off are never welcome and are the object of all the natives' criticism.

DesertRat: Lance Morrow wrote an article for Time in 1995 on which he talks about sexual abstinence for teenagers. Somewhere in there he mentions 'the swamp of the id.' That word ("id") stuck with me for a while, it is a Freudian term. I would like to see someone use it somewhere. Another couple words I'd love to read in fresh work are 'ennui' (Constance Woolson in "Miss Grief") and 'debutante' (seen in a movie). DR1 day 2 hours ago

Routh: Ok, I have tracked down a bug with the Drupal and the password reset system. If you're logged in to the site when you request a password reset, it will ask for your current password when resetting. In order to fix this, use the link to get your temporary login, then logout with 'My Menu' > 'Log out' - Once you do that request a password reset again and it will not ask for your current password. The Drupal developers have been made aware of this issue and are working to resolve it.3 days 5 hours ago
