I hate how people aren’t permitted to express negative emotions based on the fact that live in an industrialized nation. Like you have to put a disclaimer like “Yes I know that my life could be worse and in comparison to other people’s problems they’re trivial.” and if you don’t then people completely disregard everything you said and make some petty comment like “Yeah well what...

Conservative German Die Welt: “[T]here are few signs of self-doubt or self-awareness in the U.S. … [The Tea Party movement] sees the other side as their enemy. Negotiations with the Democrats, whether it’s about appointing a judge or the insolvency of the United States, are only successful if the enemy is defeated. Compromise, they feel, is a sign of weakness and cowardice.”

Fall Schedule
Fall classes start August 24th! I’m excited to begin my last semester. This is what my very last undergraduate schedule looks like:
History classes:
- U.S. History to 1876 MWF 8-9 AM. This is Freshman U.S. History…which I only passed with a “D” my Freshman year. A “D” is considered passing for general/core credits, but not Major/Minor credits. So since I...

Kids
My uncle visited this morning and brought over his youngest daughter, Cameron. She is 4 years old. She can’t say Amanda so she calls me her “cuvin” (cousin). She is so cute she melts my icy childfree heart.
I think if I could guarantee that any child I would produce would have a good personality (as judged by me), I’d be more inclined to have a kid. But there is so much...

Socialism (pronounced /ˈsoʊ̯ʃəɫɪzm̩/) is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled cooperatively, or a political philosophy advocating such a system.
Would someone like to explain to me how “socialism” has come to be a scary and horrifying word?
Because America is...

For the longest time I thought that I had gained nothing from all of my Psychology classes and this has just been a big waste of time and money. That for all my reading and testing and research I don’t know much more about mental processes or abnormal psychology than other college students in different majors.
Then one day someone in one of my History courses casually mentioned someone in...

samosaasforthought replied to your post: i’ve been misusing semi-colons
Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college. - kurt vonnegut
I said the other day I’m not a big Vonnegut fan, and I think this may be the reason why.
Also, in...

Grocery shopping
Last night I headed to Kroger to buy some food. I live with my parents while I’m going to college full time/working part time, so I don’t have a lot of extra money and because of that, for the past couple years I’ve just been eating whatever my parents bring home. My parents were both raised by poor people, and even though they have more money than their parents did, they still...

What we know as Democracy is nothing more than a fleeting moment of illusory power.
The political system exists as an integral State apparatus. Its primary concern is self-preservation.
Irrespective of a party’s alleged progressiveness or the faithful promises of politicians, the most “radical” of governments will only ever be able to implement the most tenuous of reforms.

“This study was just routine,” said Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov, in what could end up as the understatement of this century. Surov and his colleagues set out to discover if Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction. What he discovered may uproot a multi-billion dollar industry.

New post
It took me almost a complete month, but I finally have made another post on my weight-gain related blog, Appetence. This one is about reconciling a desire to gain weight with other desires and finding balance. Not exactly sexy or fun, but relevant.

he says: “Our constitution guarantees separation between church and state. Islam combines church and state.
