Holy shit. This guy's awesome.I'll have to look up AIPAC and see what that's all about, not familiar with that one.
Not true. One of the programs I run, the one that trains the teenagers to be good listeners, has a section on identifying and referring kids with intent to commit suicide. What we found in our research while putting together the curriculum is that 4 out of 5 teens who attempt suicide give very clear warnings. I don't know what the figures are for adults but my guess is they would be very similar. It is actually a rare thing when someone who commits suicide didn't give warnings ahead of time. The problem is, those warning signs go unrecognized. Most people who are suicidal don't really want to die. They want to get rid of emotional pain. And that's why they give warning signs. They want someone to help them, but they don't know how to get it otherwise. Most of these signs show up in the week or two preceding their attempt.
Meanwhile, I will begin arming and training Golden Eagles for combat.
Southern Cross lyrics
Rebellion is like Freedom in this respect.
If you see either, printed on the front of an overpriced teeshirt, available in a range of rad, this-season colours - assume it's counterfeit.
protip: Real rebels don't think of themselves as rebelling - they're just exercising the freedom that everyone else thinks you have to ask for.
oh, and you shouldnt take life too seriously because if you do you may piss of a lawyer and then THIS will happen to you...
I can ruin him for you. He's in deep with AIPAC, so his stance towards Israel and the Middle East kinda sucks. Badly.
Still, he's about 100% right on his stance towards the finance industry and the GOP currently, which is a higher batting than I give to most other politicians.
It's good to know that criminal justice system works.
I must add a rant from 'noxious' Titled "Circle of shit" here:
I know times are hard for you (cause' your a fuckin' emo) and you think you need to share all your problem with everyone (cause your a fuckin' emo) and now I'm trying to help you ( cause your a fuckin' emo). Best of luck. I would have sent this right to you but you're a fuckin' emo and I didn't want the drama.
The short and magical "Circle of Shit" theory resides below.
Quit bitching and crying, it will do your self esteem wonders! This boils down to a theory taught to me by me dad called the "Circle of Shit". If you imagine yourself as the center of a "dart board" or "circle" and assume the the outside areas or quadrants are your friends, work and life.
If you fill those outside areas with crying, complaints, misconceptions and what not (hence the "Shit" in the "Circle of Shit") You soon find yourself surrounded by "shit" and smelling like "shit". Break the circle. Don't smell like like shit.
* does not apply to those that complain sarcastically.
But you've got to be careful there, man. Rebellion is a tricky subject. After all, isn't it just another tool of The Machine™? Rebellion these days is carefully controlled and contained. I think Rebellion is a lot like Passion, in that regard. There's Passion, and then there's Passion™. Sure Rock at one point was Pure, Raw, Powerful, it was fucking beautiful. But all of that is being swept aside by the Radio, fucking MTV, here's what you should listen to. Here's what you should buy. Buy. Buy. Buy. Listen to this, wear this band's shit. Like every other tool of Rebellion, The Machine™ figures out how to turn it against us. Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking "Hey, Chief, what about X band's message or their Ideology. They're still rocking it!" And that may be true. But for every one of them, one of us that gets it? There's thousands--millions, who don't fucking get it. They bob their heads because they're programmed to. That's Rebellion™ for you.
That's what makes The Machine so fucking horrible. It can turn one free thinker's ideas and thoughts and scramble it over the airwaves to their drones. They can take something so beautiful, and market it, spin it, overplay it, until the message is lost among all the noise.
