    Marina, can you do a word “fortnight”? Please :)

  • Warren

    2nd
    I just watched it on YouTube.

  • Warren

    Oh, I forgot: #3
    Thanks for the workout. I feel better now.

  • http://palopalacz.blogspot.com/ palopalacz

    Yeah, I guess it’s #3 too :)

    I tried to take salmon, but it didn’t work ;(

    More excersises with Marina! :D

  • Warren

    Now that I’m thinking a bit about the answers can I change it to #1?

  • gio.forever

  • gio.forever

    I like exercises, I love to do workout, exercises are really cool :grin:
    But :eek: be careful with the neck, it can broke !

  • georgeofherjungle

    Cracker is the term used to reference a slave driver carrying a large whip. The large cracking sound used to “encourage” a slaves production is the source of the name. Most Caucasian or white people mistake the meaning for many reasons, the white color of a saltine cracker, the brittle texture can be used to liken a person as weak. When a saltine is crushed the cracker flakes and crumbles it is also taken as a flaky personality and crushed under pressure and threat of violence

  • maple742

    jewelry – i have always thought it would be interesting to learn the origin of this word. And does it relate to our Jewish friends?

  • lustre of havoc

    I always thought we were called cracker because everyone referred races as a type of snack food. Like how oreos refer to blacks who act white, and reverse oreo was whites who act black. Then there’s chocolate chip choco cookie which are blacks, and then there is crackers or nillas cookies which are whites. That’s just what went around my childhood, dunno if thats exactly right.

    I say #2. I wonder when the firecrackers were 1st invented. I love shooting firecrackers or fireworks. I’m glad that independence day is near. :smile:

    labbatt78,
    How do you get the link next to your name?

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    Found it.

  • TongueTwisler

    ohh :???: well….. umm, i think it’s number #3

    oh yea, sorry but i really hate salmon especialy smoked salmon :!: ! :!:

  • greenbush

    Number 14. Attention captainjack, remember we blogged about our dear teachers’ eyes? Only one answer for GTW: ans. number 3. 1 and 2 are out based on cognitive dissonance. If I’m wrong, then I will have to stay after class to clean the chalkboard, and take Fido for a walk. :oops: Five stars for the video, which makes us PC users wonder how to look at the haze that surrounds the blue and white top Miss HFW has on.

    Streeeeeetch ……..feels good …….. Thanks HotForWords!

  • micheldiego

    Jewelry comes from joy, Jewish friends come from Judea. :roll:

  • greenbush

    well i don’t really hate salmon, but it does give off a strong odor in the kitchen, and i guess in my breath, so i avoid it.

  • Bob

    Haven’t a clue on this one as the usage is not, afaik, found in the UK.
    Over here we say someone is “crackers” meaning they are crazy.
    Of the three choices, I’ll go for #3. (No! Marina, that’s NOT a request. :lol: )

  • micheldiego

    I will choose number 3.
    Then an interesting portemanteau with cracker: jawcracker a word dificult to pronounce.

    Marina salmon is good but I learn recently that it is better to buy the wild one from Alaska, not endangered. Better than the one grown in farms. I was surprised when I read this but the rational make sense: to grow salmon in farms the farmers use a gigantic weight of other fishes for the feeding, and they don’t always control the impact of the waste on the environment. So guys let’s eat wild Alaskan salmon (beside it is better)

  • Bob

    That was interesting, about the Gaelic connection, because here in the North-East of Scotland “having a good crack” means sharing jokes with your companions, and a really good joke is called “a cracker”.
    Now I’m wondering if Christmas Crackers are so called because of the sound they make when pulled, (as I had always thought) or because they contain little slips of paper with excruciatingly bad jokes written on them. :???:

  • http://www.zenithmaritime.com/ captainjack

    Yeay! I’m 21st. oh … hummm. oh yea BLACKJACK!! I HAVE 21!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :roll:

  • sam09holden

    hey love your channel :mrgreen:

    i would like to request 2 english slang terms

    “wanker” and “twat”

  • koalabear

    No idea.

    Crackers in Oz means someone is “crazy”.

    Marina’s blue and white striped top does weird things to the video.

    Any physics teachers out there to explain this affect?

  • http://www.zenithmaritime.com/ captainjack

    Im going to guess #2… And yes I remember. And I did see her eyes blink for 1 and 2 but not 3. Also I did use a second technique of eye movements. And #3 was a lie according to one technique im familiar with. But this is a rehearsed script and edited video so I have to throw out all my techniques because I have no controls in place.

  • superdanilchik

    :???: :neutral: :arrow: LES JEUX SONT FAITS …numéro 3. Did you know Marina that in England you would be called ”an exceptionally gifted CRACKER? :cool: OF COURSE,this slang word has got a completely different meaning in Britain!!!…as maybe you already know or you can imagine……лепота,всего тебе хорошего!

  • http://www.zenithmaritime.com/ captainjack

    I have some friends (the guys from the Deadliest Catch) now up in Alaska that are going to ship me some salmon (among other things) this season. Eddie taught me how to make fantastic sushi. My mouth is watering in anticipation of devouring fresh Hawaiian style sushi. :mrgreen:

    Reminds me of the words from the food storage robot in the movie “Logan’s Run”

    ["Fish, plankton,sea greens and protein from the sea!]
    (–insert evil laugh here–)

  • thxeleven38

  • Chemikal

    Thank you for the delicious salmon, that’s good eatin`!
    But the after dinner exercises made me ake all over.
    I must be out of shape, that or you are in great shape. :-)
    Oh yes, the game… I made 0 research on this one, but I think it’s #3

  • annuddermale

    my friend Jimmy says to go with origin #1…then again…

    Jimmy crack corn & i don’t care… :cool:

    oh, and do i need to remind you to do your kegels?… :roll:

  • Bob

    I’m not a physics teacher so I won’t attempt to explain this effect which is known as Strobing. It is connected with Aliasing/Antialiasing.
    If you Google those three terms you will become immersed/drown in a sea of information.
    Hope this helps.

  • jmao

    Please tell us more about “Beck and Call” versus “Beckon Call” Thanks!

  • Bob

    Hi Jack,
    Did you notice that the picture used to announce the Teacher’s Pet was reversed?
    I wonder if Marina is trying to hide the fact that she’s wearing an engagement ring … Hmmm, now it’s me who’s getting paranoid. :lol:

  • superdanilchik

    NICE exercises ,well done Марина! никогда не забудь латинскую мудрость: -Mens sana in corpore sane- try also something i particularly love -Tai chi chu’an- you’ll see that it works!

  • Bob

    The more I research this, the more I wonder if Marina has done one of her “all of the theories are correct” tricks.
    However, she did say, at the beginning of the video, that there is a lot of confusion about the origin of the pejorative term “Cracker”, so maybe she is sitting on the fence by giving us a GTW game.
    I’m still going with #3, out of the choices Marina gave us, as the slavery/white master idea seems the most logical.
    There is also a fourth possibility which Marina didn’t mention.
    According to wikipedia, Cracker might be a corruption of the term the Spaniards used to refer to the English/Scots/Irish settlers, “Quáqueros,” itself a corruption of the English word “Quaker,” which the Spanish used to contemptuously refer to any Protestant.

  • dakilla

    I wanna know where the word beautiful comes from?

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    That song ran in my head so I changed my answer.

  • Bob
  • tayljim

    # 1 & 3 I think
    5 stars, I guess an exercise video is in the works :!:

  • capman911

    I don’t know Bob. I didn’t see any ring and I watched the video three times. That stripped top sure messed with your eyes though. :???:

  • Bob

    Me too. See my other posts @ 5:19 and 5:43

  • capman911

    I have to go with number three. I have only known blacks here to call us crackers or honkies or hones. I don’t know about other countries if they refer to us as that. :???:

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    I thought that my eyes were going since I didn’t see it either.
    I was thinking, Oh,oh don’t get BillyB started again.

  • capman911

    Salmon is very good if you grill it like a steak :smile: It’s is just as tender as a filet mignon :wink:

  • http://18wheels.mevio.com/ Warren

    Bob,
    Ok, I’m not going to change my answer again.
    This is driving me crackers.
    Got soup?

  • frenchysim

    Marina,
    I would request the word “Rendez Vous”

    Thanks

  • capman911

    That was very interesting article. So really the answers could be either number 1 or 3 or both since your article covers both origins and not the second. Hummm very intersting. :cool:

  • capman911

    Jack read the article that VC-companybuilder has put out . He’s three comments above this one. It explains answers one and three but not two :cool:

  • hutchiee

    My guess for the cracker answer is #1.

    Marina many thanks for wearing that striped shirt – the interference patterns while you did your stretching at the end were very trippy.

  • capman911

    I thought you were sporting a new warren today. How do you link your name to another name? Does it have to do with your profile and do the “Heriff thingy :?:

  • capman911

    My neck is in bad shape. I have congenerative arthritis of seven vertibrae in my neck 1 through 7. Every time I turn my head I can hear the vertibrae snap, crackle, and pop just like Rice Crispies. I have to take pain pills and musle relaxers just to stop the headaches that I get from it. I jumped in a pond at an earlier age and damaged my neck . I hit the bottom of the pond floor head first. So like you said every one needs to be careful with their neck and spine.

    Hi Marina: It was a nice video. About the game I think it is number one. Corn crackers. Always your videos are interesting and funy. that exercise is yoga? :smile: have a nice day.

    Alidor

  • capman911

    Lets just ask her. Marina are you engaged now? It’s not going to stop us from watching your videos and doting after you. We will be very very happy for you. If so you don’t have to tell us who the lucky man is. Every lady likes to share when they get an engagement ring. It’s such a happy occasion. :cool:

  • Bob

    It took me a while to work it out.
    It just looked like someone else; now I’m trying to think who. Maybe Olivia Newton John
    I hope that doesn’t offend you, Marina; it’s not a very flattering likeness of her, much less of you. :smile:

  • capman911

    Come on tayljim look at how much fun we had with the panties :lol: But we will bow to the masses :cool:

  • Bob

    Especially as all the nerves and blood vessels between the brain and the rest of the body pass through the neck.

  • Bob

    Oh! dear, what have I started? :oops:

  • capman911

    Nothing. If she doesn’t answer it doesn’t mean anything. She’s just keeping her personal life personal. I can very much respect that. It’s like the paparazzi that stalk all of the celeberties. Don’t feed them and they will go away. :smile: But I hope she will still feed us comments. :cool:

  • BillyB

    C911 has the “hope” diamond LOL.
    #2 My guess on the Game, & No, I did’nt even know “cracker” was a “bad” name. To say someone was crackers, to me, was an endearing way to say “your crazy”.

  • capman911

    Well Bob at least I got a proposal for asking. Made me feel so elated and lucky to get such a reply from her. :smile:

  • capman911

    I have 22 so I busted :sad:

  • BillyB

    We have PNW Salmon swimming around our Island & folks here go out often to catch fresh, I find it is cheeper to go to work & buy fresh salmon on the way home. My fishing skills suck, although when I do go with friends, I usually get the prize for most unusual fish caught. Candied salmon is a real treat here, I buy some once a year in a little town called Coombs… better than any candy I’ve ever eaten.

    Hmmm, I’m not sure on this one. I grew up in South Georgia and the term was used widely there as a derogatory term to describe white folks. I found this article which mentions all three explanations. If I had to guess, I would go with number 2 although I’m wondering if this is one of those, “All three theories are correct” kind of games.

    As for your striped shirt and stretching…..well, let’s just say I found the workout invigorating and leave it at that….. :eek:

    jarkaruus, I think this game is a good one… as people are EVERYWHERE on which theory is correct! :-)

  • BillyB

    I had to look, one more time, just for a ring LOL (Bob brought it up). Warren don’t worry about getting me started, I never stop, thats’s what cofee’s for. Marina shows she has no ring on @ about 4:21. I did notice that her right leg will stretch much higher than the left. I hope she’s not nursing an old injury.
    BTW I would, however, love to see it when a ring does show up on that finger, although the poor guy would have to pass a tough screening process with all these guys that care about her future checking out his worthiness.

  • capman911

  • pennsyltucky9

    139th!

    I believe it’s #1. I’m reminded of the old folksong “Jimmy Crack Corn” where the lyrics imply that cracking corn is something that the “master” wouldn’t tolerate, but

    “Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care, the master’s gone away.”

    Armed with the knowledge that cracking dried field corn was part of the process of making moonshine (corn liquor), and further conjecturing that after a few drinks of moonshine “I don’t care” it seem appropriate that this may well have been an origin of the term ‘cracker.’
    Personally, I always thought it was a comparison to the bland, flat and pasty “saltine crackers” or soda crackers and that such a comparison sounded reasonable enough. Maybe this is one of the reasons this nickname persists today. But what the hell do I know? I’m just a dumb cracker….

    Most of the People have no idea why they call Whites this, They only care that it a derogatory way to slam Whites.
    Have you ever noticed, When you help someone like give them money or what ever they tend to resent you …..?…..quickly.
    A VERY small % of Whites ever were EVIL to Blacks, Yet Blacks Hate all Whites. If not for the majority of Whites standing up and helping Blacks, How would they have made as much advancement??
    People are tribal by nature, and because of this there will NEVER be Holding hands around the World and singing Kumbaya. Ps by the way I am a White Guy :wink: BUT I get slamed by The Man all the time. I thought that only Blacks get dumped on??

    It’s from the interference pattern generated when the thin stripes run crosswise to the pixel grid. You see the same weird cross-striping as one would when looking through a picket fence at another picket fence. In the graphic art industry (especially newspaper and magazine print industries) we run into stuff like that all the time because most grayscale photographs (those printed using a series of tiny dots, usually called a half-tone screen) cannot be submitted to the same screening process twice because the interference of one grid over another results in similar distortion patterns and they come out looking like a strange plaid design or something like that.

    This is called a Moire’ pattern (sounds like MWA-ray or moray), named for the French doctor (Dr. Moire’) who first discovered it.

  • pennsyltucky9

    No, I’ve never noticed that people whom I’ve helped resent it.

    In fact, they appreciate it and it always shows. I think it all hinges on what’s in your heart when you extend kindness to others. If you show patience and understanding and expect nothing in return, gratitude is the natural result.

  • http://www.myspace.com/shawnmnorris shawnmnorris

I normally would try to flip a photo to make it frame better with an ad Im making but I didn’t see a reason for Marina to do this. At 3.37 am I was getting to tired to mess with such mundane …. Yawn whats the word Im looking for? Sorry I just woke up and have not had my coffee yet. Oh better yet. I’ll make some tea. Yea… What do I have in my treasure chest of goodies? Oh yea I keep my tea in a treasure chest because a friend of mine kept her tea in a large makeup case. I had a spare TC sitting around from my last looting.

  • richardj

    Dear Hot Teacher,
    In the “Cracker” game I think you are looking for the third answer. However I believe that your answer is incorrect. As I learned it, crackers was the nickname given to people, mostly from the South, who drove the cattle by cracking whips to move the heard in the desired direction. Years latter the word picked up it’s negative conotation. It had nothing to do with slavery. At least thats what I was taught many years ago in the third grade. I live in Florida and the book was about Florida’s history although I can’t remember the exact name.

  • micheldiego

    RR, if you are speaking about USA, perhaps you should include in your reasoning native Americans: what did Blacks to native americans, and how Hawains feel about Blacks :wink:

    On a more universal perpective, there are very interesting data: the mixed marriages numbers. It is very interresing to see the % of interacial marriages by countries and by census, it’s a way to track diferences between countries and times. For the USA I can tell you it is one of the lowest (in OCDE) but lately it’s going up. If you don’t like numbers just take some vacations in Brazil, and you will understand what interracial marriages is and what it means in terms of “racial” integration.
    In a way we could say that HATE sometimes has a colour, but LOVE don’t know about colours (I know you could here imagining a rainbow, but I am not speaking about this colours).

    I realize that the specific situation (and history) of the US is tough, but it is not desesperate. You can look for example our mutual friend, child of a mixed marriage, recent political succes in diferent ways. There are signs of increased fracture, but at the same time it seems to me there are also signs of a new perception of “mixed races”. When for ages somebody with a drop of “black” blood was considered black (I think there are laws about this about 1 grand-parent is enough, or even 1 grand-grand parent, an historian could tell us the criteria), it seems to me that people now tend to somehow identify thru the “mixed” child to the mother or to the father, in the specific case I’m speaking about. Some are discovering you could be son of a white and son of a black…

    To add another optimistic note in this answer I can tell you my personnal experience. I am white and I adopted a black (very very black) son when he was 15 days old. He is now 11 and it is so nice to see how much he looks like me (and I look like him)! When people see us together it is easy to see the conexion between us and understand we are father and son.

    Bob, Olivia Newton John and Marina? Marina is way better looking. I have not seen anyone that looks like Marina. Even Marina looks have changed from her early modeling years. I prefer the way she looks now to what she looked years ago. For example the photo banner on the top this blog is much different that her today. Still I think what makes Marina attractive is her intelligence. I can go down my dock and find any pretty trophy girl but I best most of them would have just average (or below) intelligence. I always look at intelligence when im dating. If I can’t carry an intelligent conversation with a woman then I see no reason to continue dating that person. One woman I admire very much is a former PE teacher, Dee Caffari. First woman to sail ‘wrong way’ round world SOLO. She sailed 176 days at sea, navigating her 22-meter (72ft) yacht, Aviva, into the jaws of all the wind, rain and waves the open seas could muster. She smart, sexy, and knows more about sailing than I will ever know. If she didn’t have a BF I might be at that docks trying to court her. This is a woman that I could trust with my life. If I fell ill and could not function, I could trust Dee to sail the ship all the way home. That’s the kind of gal I’m most attracted to. No she doesn’t have to know one thing about sailing. Just have the mental capacity to learn, solve problems as they come up, and the nerve to do it. I have yet to come across someone like that and yes thats a very tall order. I guess thats why I’m still single. :neutral:

Then it would not be guessing game. It would be an educated guessing game. :grin: Most new discoveries are from accidents. Just look at what Columbus ran into..And he thought he was in India..hehehehe

    GB, If you can smell salmon its not good. Yea it might be still safe to eat but really your not eating good salmon. I hate the smell of any seafood. Make me want to spew sugar (ain’t I so sweet? NOT). Good seafood will have a slight aroma that is pleasant. The best fish to eat is the fish that was caught that day. OMG its fantastic. That said you will not ever see me eat at a chain seafood restaurant. I used to work at one for about a year. So I know what goes on inside. :wink:
    Frozen is ok. All it does is make the meat a bit mushy. Not a big deal for me and most people don’t know the difference.
    Also you should thaw your seafood in the fridge and not on the counter. Its the little bugs that make the fish smell bad. Not the fish itself. The fridge will keep the food at a safe temp to keep the bugs from growing.

    Hi roadrunrnch,

    From what poll did you derive your statistical data (“all”=100%, “never”=0% probability, “the largest %,” etc.)? It would be interesting to know.

    According to my friends, you certainly don’t speak for “all” Blacks. And you DEFINITELY don’t speak for anyone but yourself when you purport to speak for “all” whites. So, if you don’t mind my quoting a famous misrepresenter of others’ views,

    “Know that center in the universe? The point that ALL revolves around? AINT YOU Mi Amigo.”

    Moral of the story: Never speak in absolutes. Ever. “Mi amigo…”

    I don’t lend money. If I give money to a friend in need, I’m delighted when someone pays it back, I don’t expect it, and I express that. If someone needs money from me, I’ll figure out something they have that I can buy from them instead, so our friendship stays strictly on an even keel. If I can’t help them I tell them I can’t help them. There is no dishonor in telling the truth, especially to ones’ friends.

    Nor do I borrow money from friends. They are far more valuable to me than as a source of cash. If they see me struggling and offer to help, I accept their help with undying gratitude. But if they try to lend me a large sum, I decline. Friends are not just some credit account you can draw from. They are a source of inner strength, of recognition, of understanding, and of loyalty. These things are far more important than money could ever be. I’m sorry you haven’t had the same experience with your friends, and I apologize if my earlier comment ruffled your feathers at all. I can assure you, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to express my views on being human, as opposed to being “white” or being “black.” We all started in the same place, and are all in this together whether or not we choose to recognize that. Have a nice day, my friend.

    As you just said “When I question race, religion, liberalism, I expect to get jumped and chastised”, I will enjoy the opportunity:
    You said “A VERY small % of Whites ever were EVIL to Blacks” and probably you don’t understand some could desagree and even be offended. As we are in 2008 you may also say “A VERY small % of American troops ever were EVIL to Iraqis”, and will even insult anyone arguing this opinion.
    Apparently the world is very simple, the only thing that you don’t understand is why blacks hate whites, and why Iraqis hate Americans.
    Without the whites/American troops how would they have made as much advancement :?:
    That is the question. Blacks and Iraqis have made so much advancement that they should show more gratitude isn’t it.

    Well none of those are the real origin of the work “cracker”. The first use in US history comes from the cattle drivers of Florida is the 17th and 18th centuries. In Florida then as now much of the state was covered in thick brush. There were no barbed ware then so cattle roamed freely in the brushy country side. Cattle drivers, this was before Cowboy was a word, used whips to scare the cattle into opening so they could be collected and barged to markets in the south east. It was the sound of the whips “cracking” that would drive the cattle out of the brush so the cattle could see what was making the fearful sound. The cattle drivers were over a time known as Crackers. Much later some but not all slave owners that used whips to punish their slaves also became known as Crackers. A more contemporary meaning was when blacks said the high pitched voices of whites sound like their speech is cracking. This more modern use goes at least back to early 19th century.

    BTW Marina, ever thought of doing an exercise video and throwing in some language lessons? Should sell like hot cakes! And just where did “Selling like hot cakes” come from? Sorry I can’t join you in stretching but just came back from the gym, exhausted. Thanks for the salmon! Delicious!

  • nw2394

    Well, I don’t know which origin is correct because I’ve never heard “cracker” used in this sense. However #3 sounds plausible.

    Is “cracker” an American term?

    aLx are you talking about me again?

  • pennsyltucky9

    Yeah. We sure helped all those blacks by taking them from Africa and separating them from their families, then literally working them to death. Then we cut them loose, starved them, lynched the ones who noticed anything wrong, and drafted the rest into the Infantry where they could shield us from enemy fire. They should be more appreciative! Not everyone gets such royal treatment. Free ship passage, all the lashes you ever wanted, and a lifetime supply of mistrust. Who could ask for more?

    Hi aLx, good to hear from you again.

    Responses are generally welcome. Your observation regarding assessment of relative intellectual discussion value is correct, however.
    Don’t get all sunburned, bud. My recollection of Florida at this time of year is that it gets very hard to wear any clothes there. Hope you brought a vidcam to help share the bounty with us.

    Peace

  • roadrunrnch

    1 ) gratitude , maybe. Recognition yes.

    2 ) PT9 ? Really? Like in Africa there was lands where People of Nature, An Utopia. And evil White Men swooped in and hunted and caged Africans and whisked them away to the USA? Is this your story?

    Is your knowledge of slavery come from watching Roots?

    Do you believe Whites started slavery?
    Do you realize the Dutch bought slaves from African kings ?
    Do you realize the first went to what is now Mexico? To the Spanish.
    Do you realize it started some 200 years Before the USA existed?
    Do you realize it was White Americans that freed the slaves?
    Do you realize the whole world had slaves and one of the only places that still has slaves today is Africa by Africans.?

    The World is an Evil place full of Bastards across the line. Skin color has nothing to do with anything but to point out the members of each team. Red vs Blue

    Who are these Whites anyway?

    It would be better if we called them Green. The color of the Powerfull.

    Hey, well I had one more idea in mind.

    There’s always this one senior citizen that walks around my neighborhood and he likes to say the word:
    “Whippersnapper” like “Those young whippersnappers”

    Can you tell me about that? It’s kind of confusing

  • micheldiego

    RR, I’m sorry I can’t agree with your rules #1 and #2.
    1) Biological reason: the natural selection in human species clarely don’t help the strongest or the more egoistic. Dawkins will say it is the gene who is “egoist” and is the fittest, sometimes thru a less adapted human. Look arround you and note how many little guys, fat guts, and “normal” guys you can count for one “strong” mr muscle. Then look arround you and note how manny people fundraise, tip, coach little league etc etc then note how manny don’t tip etc…In evolution there is something called collaborative evolution, it works best inside a family but apparently once you are a “good guy” with your family you also are with the community.
    2) Cultural reason: Humans (as several other species) live in society, and this means that it is not the powerfull who rules. You have some rules let’s call them “moral rules” impose on you during your education. In your country moral seams to be “utilitarian” what is good is what is good for the majority. Moral try to optimize the benefits for most of the people. Because of this rules (for example you will not eat another human…) and of the subsequent set of laws consistents with the moral it appears that playing solo is extremly dificult. One of the most striking thing a foreigner observe when looking to your society is how much it is anti-individualistic. It is rather strange after all this years spent fighting communism to observe how communitarian your society is.

  • vasdrugleonard

  • http://myspace.com/dirtylogicband crunchy_pickle

    on another note, it seems like your stretching exercises were just filler this time. are you trying to turn us on or get us in shape? lol

  • micheldiego

    So RR as there is not “evil” per se there are good guys and bad guys and anybody is responsible of what he is. Yourself seem to put some blame on other countries and what you say can be true but is not relevant when speaking about America, the people of America the good guys and the bad guys of America.
    I must say that what really makes a guy good or bad are the decsions he takes. Anyone at that time was responsible in deciding to help, or to punish a slave. To fight to free him or to buy him etc…
    What we can see is that historically there are been suficient bad whites guys to give let say some anger to the sons of the black slaves. It is our responsability now to admit it or not.
    We can’t change the past but it is a good thing to accept fit or what it is. It is a way to honour the victims, and think about the future with the proud given by the understanding of the mistakes, and even the sins.
    Maybe we can go back to etymology now my friend :cool:

    I assume you meant monotony.

    Monotony comes from “monotone” where the voice stays constantly at the same pitch (literally, ‘one tone’) instead of fluctuating up and down, which is usually the case. This makes for very boring delivery. The only similarity these two words have is the prefix.

    I hope this helps.
