Things Wrong With The United States
The Top TenXW
This is bad, but racism is everywhere. The dude who wrote this article isn't probably American, that's for sure. This thing ticks me off. Why does everyone think the U.S. is so bad? The dude who wrote this article is the bad one. He probably wrote this article to be a negative, mean person. I've never met one so horribly, thuggish person where I live. I live in Texas. This is so horrible, when people like this should stop spending their time degrading countries. If he isn't American, then he probably wrote this list to make him feel better about his country. Sure, their are some bad things going on right now, but you don't dwell on it. You try to fix it. Plus, the U.S. isn't horrible at all. Take a look at Iraq and Iran and North Korea, for instance. Geez, I'm 13 years old for God's sake, and am I the only one who's positive here? A lot of people on here are probably older, and don't mind being negative, because they already have spent time on this planet. So, try to fix the States, ...more
Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are the way they are largely because of US intervention...
If we looked past each other's skin and cultural background, we probably accomplish more as a unified front. But all the bottom of the totem pole people, in each race, are too busy being stupid and getting airtime for it, which makes us all look bad. Plus we're so caught up in stereotypes, myself included, that we don't take the time to give people a chance. We just judge them an move on. It's sad really because we're better than what we are portrayed to be and have so much untapped potential.
His guy below me says not to dwell in other countries yet he comments on North Korea Iran and Iraq as if it is only ok for him to comment on stuff and it isn't ok for other people to comment on us. That isn't fair to people like me who have a background from another country but was born here. And although we don't have as many things going on as them, we still have many problems so don't pretend that Americans are perfect when clearly some of them aren't. For example, youth in today's generation. Half of them are probably out doing something they're not supposed to. But you do get your point about Iraq and Iran and North Korea but don't dwell on them because you never know if somebody else on this site has a background from those countries it will really hurt their feelings if you do that to them. They will start thinking that their home country is a horrible place and might never go back because of what people say. So please don't dwell on others please.

This is an answer to all of these. The US does not think they own the planet. But for some reason THE US GOVERNMENT thinks they should have to take care of the planet. I do think our government sticks their nose in places it does not belong in the name of national security. Sure it should have been other countries going into Iraq and fighting a war. The American people did not want our troops to be in Iraq dying for nothing. A lot of the people in those Muslim countries were saying the US was there for the oil. Well the US did not take the oil which in my opinion after spending over 4 trillion dollars fighting in Iraq and Afgan they should have kept southern Iraq till they got the money back. And if it was up to me I would bring my eleven aircraft carriers and their battle groups and put 5 along the east coast staggerd from 500 to a 1000 miles off the coast and put one in the gulf of mexico. Then put 5 carriers in the pacific and I would protect the US and lock down the borders and ...more
Actually, the US government often gets involved in other nations for business and financial interests, often under the expanded guise of "national security" - Billyv
Honestly. America is controlled by 13 families. Rothschild and Rockefeller are probably the most known ones. Rockefeller owns the music industries, music is everywhere. In movies, T.V. series, commercials etc. Rothschild owns all of the banks. Therefore they own all of the money in the world. Now one of them is gonna marry a Hilton, then some "accident" will happen to the Hiltons and they'll own all of the hotels.
In America, the government sits laughing at everybody else. That's because everything people think about is money. The world is so obsessed with money that they don't realise that the 13 families that control America will soon control everything else. Their goal is to eliminate 90% of the world's humans and control the 10% like slaves and they won't even know it. RFID chips will become more advanced, til they can finally kill you by sending signals to your brain. In some states, RFID chips is a MUST. Everybody who refuses to install them will be caged up like animals. ...more
At last! This really should really be the top option. I HATE America's arrogance; they truly believe that the rest of the world is jealous of them when they couldn't be more wrong. America should have a high-voltage electric fence built all the way around to stop them spreading their poison to more civilized countries. Give me charming, beautiful, historical ENGLAND anyday! It's American independence day tomorrow - the day when Britain broke its ties with the Yanks. Good riddance!
The US isn't the greatest country in the world, AND IT doesn't HAVE TO BE.V24 Comments
Has everyone gone nuts.
Almost all the gas stations, Midi Marts,Hotels,Motels and a lot of other businesses are run by Hindus. Almost all our jobs in the United States are being taken over my Mexican Illegals and they don't pay into Social Security or taxes and nothing is being done about it. They are going to give Welfare and free hospital care and free Social Security to all illegal Aliens. You make a call on a Cell phone and you end up talking to a Hindu that can not talk English. They are making it a standard procedure for all children to learn Mexican. How long will it be before our children have to learn Hindu. Anyone coming into this country is suppose to understand our language and speak it. Hindu woman can not be searched at Airports. Are you kidding me. What do we have security Checks for at airports? I would never get on a plane if it has a Hindu woman on board. She could be carrying a bomb for Terrorist's. Please do not tell me that it is not possible. We had ...more
We've been waging illegal wars on countries since 1950. Do you think it's time we stopped? Drone strikes, bombings, the killing of innocent people in other countries who never did ONE thing to harm the United States? It's wrong! I'm sick and tired of this country being at war for sticking its nose in other people's business. America is a danger and threat to every country on this planet.
We have 5% of the worlds population, but 60% of the worlds mass shootings. More semi-automatic in the streets are not the solution to this problem. Our founding fathers believed we had a right to bear arms, not weapons of mass murder.
This week has been terrible for the US, a man shot in Fresno, a man shot in Michigan, a man shot in Baton Rouge and 5 police dead in Dallas- and that's just one week...V15 Comments
Uh, Ronluna, we are not trolls. Don't be such a jerk about it. I'm 13, and haven't been to too many places, but I know that I have met nothing but nice, considerate citizens. I'm an American, and me and my family donate to the poor all the time, we recycle, enjoy family nights, and have our neighbor community party nights, and we are not trolls. I respect every adult, as my parents have taught me. So, don't be so negative, and stop reading all these posts that say, "Oh, America sucks, blah blah blah. ", and go meet people and change your thoughts about Americans.
Oh you won't get any respect in the U.S. just be black and have a opinion and get on child support what's so sad the black women are the worse toward their own and don't even realize it they have the most to say about white woman stealing their men when they treat their men like crap and kids or the new trend is for black girls dating white women and be proud about it but years ago when black men were dating white women they were sell outs but whats that make them? - mountainhawk
Doctors also have lack of respect in people's lives, lack of respect of beliefs, favorites, culture, etc. - ronluna
That is not true. One time I went to the doctor, and the guy asked me if my beliefs or culture would allow my treatment. In fact, I believe asking that has become a law. So get your facts straight before making any false accusations. - BlueTopazIceVanilla
Many Americans do not respect their neighbors, their countrymen, politicians or other nations. Perhaps, many of us have forgotten the old adage 'Love thy neighbor as thy self.'V19 Comments
I don't agree, I think that all people should be entitled to their own musical choices. I have come across some really good rap and hip-hop and some great rock, they are different types of music they can't be compared to each other.
Who put this on here? Let me guess, some 90's kid Nostalgiatard hipster teen loser. Stop acting like that music is better, because it clearly isn't. Well let me tell you one thing: I CAN LISTEN TO WHATEVER I WANT. Just because the music was made 60+ years ago does not automatically mean it's better. People are entitled to their own music choices, so get out of here and stop acting like a narcissist. by the way, this is a pathetic reason to hate a country. A choice of music being chosen over another being deemed "wrong" just seems desperate. You American haters better cook up some more valid reasons. Racism and violence were good reasons, please make ones as sensible as that. RANT OVER.
I'm not usually raging like this, but I had to get something off my chest. - BlueTopazIceVanilla
Kids listen to Hannah Montana then they grow up and hear Lil Wayne and think it's the best ever. They never get a chance to hear real music.
It's merely a matter of taste, not a bigger problem than a country ruled by the bourgeoisie. - DieGedankenSindFreiV36 Comments
Donald Trump represents everything the rest of the world hates about America, and honestly, he is a disgrace to the Republican Party. I seriously can't believe he's made is so far in the elections.
Oh god. Don't get me started. I guess one obvious point is his superior attitude. He pretty much stands for everything that I hate about America. (I'm an American, and I hate America. What does that say about me? ) Also, there's that time he got attacked by the American Eagle he was trying to do a photoshoot with. If that's not a sign, I'm not sure what is.
I don't know if Trump is a disgrace to the Republican Party. Since they can't seem to find a candidate to overtake him, I would say Trump IS the Republican Party. Now you have Jerry Falwell, Jr., endorsing him. How hypocritical is that? The head of a Bible college endorsing a three-time divorced man. In the Bible, divorce is forbidden seven times more often than gay marriage.
If Donald Trump becomes president, the other countries won't take us seriously and target us more than ever because this clown is our leader. - NikBruskV23 Comments
Our current economic state is an utterly terrifying prospect. That's why we keep on ignoring it. As seen in the government shut down we only keep on raising the debt ceiling pushing the problem onto the generation after. We must do something now to stop the debt from piling up. When we perform diplomacy in wars such as Iraq or Afghanistan and if we have a good leader we should look at the general view. Our relationship after such a war, and what we gain from it. In Iraq we gained absolutely nothing except death and sad stories to go around. I to be frank cannot believe we even intervened to start it! Since we had gone we should have at least taken the oil which was there and set up a STABLE government. We should have used our ELEVEN aircraft carriers and a tiny bit less than half of our military during the war. We weren't very committed to it as it seems. We changed nothing and have only worsened the situation and how everyone views us. We need a strong leader to make the right ...more
People should not complain or worry about Greece. They have 500 billion dollars of debt. America had 16 trillion dollars of debt.
Obviously, these comments must have been written during the Bush administration since we have added jobs nearly every month since Obama has been president and our unemployment rate will likely be below five percent by the fall...
The most pressing issue is the economy. The ongoing economic crash leads to perpetual poverty, hitting minority families hard, and eternal grinding poverty is as awful as an ongoing nuclear holocaust.V9 Comments
Everyone should be given equal rights.
Gay marriage goes against your nature if you are heterosexual, as I am. To say that it goes against human nature would imply that I do not find homosexuals human, which is ridiculous. It may go against your religion, and in fact it goes against mine. My religion also forbids lying, swearing, worshipping anything other than God, adultery, and coveting your neighbor's property. These things are all, however, still legal and some of them, especially lying, are performed routinely on these websites and by Republican presidential candidates. The Supreme Court has now ruled on gay marriage, and frankly it's time to move on.
We as an American nation are homophobic. Many people are still afraid of coming out as gay, especially men. I personally believe it's due to the face that there are very set views on how men and women should act. Women being submissive and men being dominant, meaning (gasp) is suddenly a man loves a man doesn't that show them to be weak? Guys should be talking about politics and chasing women shouldt they! Trust me I speak from experience. Screw you america. I have been harassed and spat on, even hit due to my sexual orientation.
So, I can buy a semi-automatic assault weapon in most states, but I can't marry the person of my choice?V41 Comments
How stereotypical. Not everyone in America is fat. These are all so offensive and not true. You say we americans are disgusting look at yourselves and stop judging a country that you are simply jealous of.
America is pretty much 50/50 50% fat 50% normal sized

The problem isn't "liberals," it's progressive fools, which is what I think OP means. While the racist left wingers slinging slurs at white Americans keep their posts at universities, disaffected moderates and proper liberals are driven to the far right. The rise of Donald Trump and the Alt-Right have been a direct effect of the Regressiveness of the modern "progressive left", with their war on free thought and Enlightenment Principles, as true liberals move to sections of the political spectrum who do not censor. The modern movements of BLM and Third-Wave feminism have disaffected moderates and liberals on both the left and right. Donald Trump and partisan politics is the backlash.
Well, many of our founding fathers were considered liberal in their day and they were able to agree on the principals that underlie our US Constitution. Maybe, just maybe, today's liberals will bring forth the necessary changes to move our Democracy forward as they have in the past. I'm not saying Conservatives are a dying breed, but I am saying there are just not as many of them around nowadays -- could be because they tie their wagons to unpopular political stances or outdated stances. After all, racism, militarism, capitalist cronyism, and extreme nationalism sort went out of style when Facism failed in the 1940's.
I am sorry to be the one to tell you this (to the poster below). The Democrat party was the party that did not want to abolish slavery and kept dragging their feet for equal rights for both minorities and women. The Democrat party founded the KKK. If not for the Conservative party, we would still have slavery and women would not be allowed to vote. The Conservative party wants equal opportunity for all. The Democrat party has to keep their subjects beat down and so be dependent on the Government for handouts. Just barely survive.
That's because the republicans were, actually, the liberal party for a long time. Today, of course, they have switched places. You just proved that liberals were right many, many times in history. - dacetheace

The Contenders
One need not look further than the US Corporate Board room -- just start counting the number of women sitting around the table. Not only are the numbers dismal, but they tell a dismal story. It is a dismal story of corporate billionaires, bankruptcies, legal staffs, and their billionaire families -- sounds like something all of us can relate to right?
See rap and hip hop promotes this nasty way and makes make men more dominate than woman. People need to realize that these music genreadd are wrong and should be changed now.
Women are still just used for being sexualized in the media, and there are also feminazis everywhere who claim they want equality but they really want female supremacy. It goes both ways.V2 Comments
Political Correctness is a dangerous practice that weakens America because it is in effect a new, advanced form of censorship. America was founded on the bedrock of freedom of expression, and the proponents (liberals) of Political Correctness have developed a practice that targets & punishes those who express opposing viewpoints. The Constitution guarantees us protection from arrest and imprisonment with the Right to Free Speech, but the method of punishment used to suppress citizens' expression of a differing opinion is moot-- all that matters is if it's effective or not. Presently in America people are afraid to openly express their honest beliefs out of fear of reprisal. The reprisal may no longer be arrest, torture, or capital punishment as was the case centuries ago, but suppression out of fear of public shaming is an equally effective tool to threaten the disgruntled citizen with to keep him from voicing his true opinion.
I have yet to see politically correct absolutely defined. I think it is a vague term, and is intentionally kept vague by the right, so they can continue to support hatred. By politically correct, do you mean according to the constitution? According to the Bible? According to Robert's rules of order? By what document are we judging "correctness" by? None of us know, and I don't think the right wants us to know, so they can say and do whatever they want and justify it by not being "politically correct". They like Trump because he speaks honestly. Well, so do drunks after five beers.
All political correctness means to me is to treat others the way you would have them treat you. Does it mean something else? If not, why is it always talked about as something bad?
Political correctness prevents good ideas from getting heard because their not politically correct. And then you can't do anything because it's "offensive".V2 Comments
People need to stop acting like rape is a yes or no question, and actually educate themselves on the topic. If you're pro-life or whatever, you better be damn sure you know all of the facts because people are beginning to lose the respect for another person's choices.
Put it this way. If you were pregnant and didn't want the baby, you wouldn't get an abortion (obviously), so you put the baby up for adoption. But would you let an 18 or 20 year old girl adopt your baby? Would you say that she isn't responsible enough to have a child? Because if that's the situation then she should have full right to get an abortion.
Well, like most issues, abortion is all about Fundamentalist Christians tying to influence government legislators to make laws telling folks how to live their lives. If those legislators don't do what the Fundamentalists want, the Fundamentalists don't fund their election campaigns. How is the issue of abortion that much different than the issue of gun control. Sure both issues involve life and death, it's just one involves life and death before birth and the other involves life and death after birth.
The most basic and fundamental human right, the right to life, has been stripped away from our unborn children to guarantee a far lesser right for their moms, the right to not be pregnant.
An undeveloped fetus is not a conscious being- it doesn't have awareness or personality. There are many situations where an abortion is, arguably, the best choice. For example: the baby would otherwise be born with a crippling disability, the mum was raped, a smoker or a drug user. The family might not have enough money to support a child. As the other person who replied said, it's sometimes best for not just the mother, but to spare a human from suffering. - Flamesofsilver
Abortion is murderV25 Comments
That's so true!
I am from Germany and I don't know how often this dirty Americans have me considered as a Nazi, shame on you!
I am German myself and when I went to America the guy in the airport who looked in my passport said "don't go killing no Jews now" I was so upset! I had another incident when I arrived in New York where two men heard me with a German accent and proceeded to Nazi salute me!
The American attitude towards German people is so utterly wrong and Racist! I had nothing to do with the war! The people in the United Kingdom are so much more friendly it has never happens to me once there!
People don't understand that the war was over 70 years ago. It is in the past. Not all or almost any Germans are Nazis! And me saying this, I'm not even German! I just believe this is very wrong.
I'm sorry for you Germans that are offended, but I have never heard this in my life.V26 Comments
Wow don't you think your over exaggerating
Perhaps the anger should be directed at the do nothing Congress. We pay them a lot to be against everything.
Blame the Republicans that make up the majority of Congress who won't let Barack Obama undo the damage to America. Also, at least Barack Obama is making the right choices with healthcare (although it could be improved upon), good foreign relations, good education, and improving our country a lot from the damage George W. Bush started in the first place. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

They tax the poor more and the rich less.
I agree to much taxes for the poorer people. I live in the united states and it's just falling apart. I'm moving to England in a month. Way better country and the best place to live.. =)
It does not make sense to tax the poor. We pay taxes for many reasons and the most noble reason is to lift up those less fortunate than ourselves. As an American, I just want to make certain we are helping the poor in an efficient and effective manner.
They tax the middle class the most dumbassV9 Comments
I trust government to make certain the law is equitable and applied equally to all. We all know this not the case. A black man down south may receive a harsher punishment under the law than a white boy in California for committing the same crime. As far as the death penalty is concerned, it should be applied as a consequence for certain crimes -- murder, treason. I just wish there were a national system in place to make certain the correct punishment fits the crime and is applied equally across all 50 states. This will probably never happen, but it should.
I have mixed reactions on the death penalty. I'm not sure if the lives of criminals should be decided by law officials. Plus, a fraction of those on death row are actually innocent, but were framed. However, it ensures political control and gets rid of the murderers, spies, terrorists, and other people who are ripping society apart. Sometimes life in prison isn't good enough. - ethanmeinster
Life in prison is the perfect punishment, but whether someone should live or die is God's decision.

Michael L. Brown is Professor of Mathematics and Statistics. He came to Simmons in 1986 and, for his first fifteen years at the College, taught half-time in mathematics and statistics, and half-time in computer science. Following that period, he has been teaching entirely in mathematics and statistics.
Professor Brown's interests have been wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. As an applied mathematician, earlier in his career, he published in major journals in mathematical statistics, biophysics, and medical informatics. He also produced working papers in computer hardware design and econometric modeling. He in addition published expository mathematics. He was a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Computer Research Center of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
In recent years his interdisciplinary reach has taken new directions. He seeks to connect the mathematical sciences with issues of public interest, as well as with the arts. Twelve of his Letters to the Editor (eleven signed with his Simmons affiliation) on these topics have appeared in the New York Times. He is also concerned with the deeper motivations for learning and, more generally, questions of meaning and ethics in psychological life. He is a member of the Faculty Learning Community on Student Learning Theory, and has been a longtime member of the Simmons Honor Board. In the arts, he has a particular interest in theatre and drama, exemplified for instance by his very well-received performed readings at the Harvard Strindberg Symposium, a centennial gathering of scholars in honor of one of the founders of the modern theatre.
His Ph.D. is in Applied Mathematics, with a specialty in mathematical statistics, from Harvard. His A.M. is in Applied Mathematics, with a specialty in the mathematical physics of fluid dynamics, also from Harvard. His B.A. is from Columbia College of Columbia University in New York, where he was the valedictorian of his graduating class of more than 600 students.

Kimberly H. McManama O'Brien, PhD, LICSW, is an Assistant Professor at Simmons School of Social Work with a joint appointment at Harvard Medical School as an Instructor in Psychiatry. She is also a per diem clinician at Boston Children's Hospital, where she conducts the majority of her research. Dr. O'Brien is committed to a research agenda focused on the development and testing of brief interventions for suicidal adolescents and their families, with an additional specialization on adolescents who use substances.

Her installation embraces the illogic of chance, double dealing, and rule breaking that too often define our lives. Her work also includes the overt nod to Dada and recalls Duchamp's passion for chess."—John Stomberg ART New England.
Alister Inglis is the Freeman Associate Professor of Chinese Language and Literature. Prior to joining Simmons, he taught at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
His research focuses on Chinese traditional short stories of the Song (960-1276) and Yuan (1276-1368) dynasties. Inglis is best known for his translations of classical Chinese literature and also for his extensive research on Hong Mai's (1123-1202) Record of the Listener (Yijian zhi). This famous twelfth century text has become an essential primary source for historians conducting research on twelfth century society given the attention its short narratives pay to the lives of ordinary people; i.e., material that is often ignored by official history. Inglis' first monograph, Hong Mai's Record of the Listener and its Song Dynasty Context (NY: SUNY Press, 2006), is the first monograph-length study in English about this famous text.
Inglis is furthermore interested in fine art and practices various styles of Chinese calligraphy. He specializes in the "slender-gold" script which was made famous by emperor Huizong (r. 1100-1126) of the Song dynasty.

Kent commuters face 6% fare rise
Kent commuters are facing fare increases of up to 6% from January, adding hundreds of pounds to an annual season ticket. The government says extra money is needed to pay for investment across the rail network, but some passengers are staging a protest in the capital during this morning's rush hour (06:07, 07:07 and 08:07).
A wheelchair user from North Kent says disabled people are increasingly seen as second class citizens - because of a government crackdown on benefit cheats. Joanna Whisker from Northfleet receives Disability Living Allowance which is being phased out from next April.
Her comments come as a survey from the charity Scope suggests two thirds of disabled people have experienced aggression, hostility and name calling from able bodied people who believe they are claiming benefits they are not entitled to (06:25, 07:22 and 08:22).
Police in Kent are stepping up patrols on the M20 and M2 following a rise in fuel thefts from unsuspecting lorry drivers.
Police say the thieves often strike under the cover of darkness to siphon diesel while the lorries are parked in laybys.
The Freight Transport Association which is based in Tunbridge Wells says the problem has escalated in line with the price of diesel (07:39 and 08:39).

My dad was coach of my little-league baseball team and got ejected from a game after calling the opposing team's Hispanic pitcher "Taco".
After I married a black woman my parents didn't speak to me for nearly 2 years. They had a million reasons why and none of them made sense. It finally dawned on me that my parents were misdirecting their own racism (which I remember well as a teenager) so as to avoid the ugly truth they are racist. I remember the first black girl I dated that they met; before hand my mother called asking if there were topics she shouldn't talk about. I was totally confused, and when my brain clicked I replied, "well I wouldn't go shouting 'nigger!' I think that might be considered impolite." I mean really what topic was she planning to bring up that could be a huge issue?
My son was 8 months old when they finally laid eyes on him. I only live 20 miles away. I told them outright I don't give a shit if they ever speak to me again but they better step up and be grandparents since we don't have a lot of family around.
My wife is convinced they are relieved when we leave so the neighbors don't see a black woman at their house. I wish I could argue otherwise. She thinks I should confront them but I cant see any real benefit of opening that fight up with a couple of people in their 70s.
When one of my aunts (she lives in South Carolina) was young someone told her that black people can't swim.
A few years ago, she saw some black children on one of those floating docks in the middle of a lake and started screaming that we need to save them and how the hell did they get out there.
She was in her forties.
I used to live in Calais, Maine, which is not too far from another city, Eastport. To get to Eastport you drive through a Native American reservation, which is pretty poor, like most reservations, because of our country's depraved and racist policies regarding indigenous peoples. So, to boost revenue, the police on the reservation are very strict about the speed limit and enforce it extremely precisely. This works out great for everybody, because all the locals know not to speed, the only people who really get pulled over are tourists.
So I'm working at a radio shack and this woman comes in and asks how to get to Eastport. I give her directions and tell her not to speed through the reservation, because they'll pull her over. She looks me right in the eye and goes "Oh yeah?! What'll they do then, have a pow-wow?!"
The Royal Nonesuch
A gem from good old granddad: "Black people are good athletes because they have such big nostrils and can inhale more oxygen".
I was talking to a co-worker a few years ago. She's a black lady around 50 years old, and she started telling me about a white guy from Kentucky she dated for awhile back in the 70's. He asked her out, they started dating, blah blah blah.
A few months went by and he hadn't made any attempt whatsoever to get in her pants. So she finally came out and asked him why he wasn't interested in sex, and his response was "Well, it's just that my mother always told me black people have tails".
Just to note, I actually have family in Kentucky. Thankfully, none of them think that any groups of people are born with tails.
I was handing out programs for a free outdoor production of Othello and had a guy ask me if it was "the nigger play."
When I made embarrassed noises in the affirmative, he promptly scowled and stalked off.
Also, the guy who played Othello in that show said he was almost run off the stage when playing Henry V in a production in Georgia because the audience didn't want a black guy "dirtying" Shakespeare.
My grandmother used to call me "Tony" (not my name) because, apparently, "Aaron" is a "nigger name" (and not a Jewish name).
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further

Across the Bar
Scene, heard
Drew Phelps has been around for so long and played with so many people -- including Sara Hickman, the Dixie Chicks, and Café Noir -- that he has the reputation of a hired gun, to the point that even when he's playing gigs with his own outfit, people ask him who he's performing with. "I'm the guy that's always been sitting in the background," he says. "I'm trying to break out of that." To that end, he recently released his first solo album, Round To It, on Fwingo Records. The disc is a collection of songs Phelps has written over the years, some a decade old, that he didn't record until May. Phelps says he didn't even feel the need to put them on tape until he met his current backing band, pianist Brad Williams, drummer Woody Burner, and guitarist Richard McLure. You can hear whether it was worth the wait when his band performs some of the songs from the album on October 7 at Terilli's...
The Meat Helmets -- the band frontman John Freeman says has "been burning the torch that was lit by groups like 45 Grave, Crime, The Misfits, and April Wine" -- will play for the final time on October 9 at a Good/Bad Art Collective benefit in Denton, which also features sets by the Riverboat Gamblers, Gospel Swingers, and Austin's The Deadites.

Answer from: Meee
Where do u put the code ??
Answer from: Railee
On the AC adjust the knobs so the numbers are the same.
Answer from: Panda
Say the numbers that weren't covered by floss and you put them together to form two numbers were 23 and 26. You adjust the knobs so that one stops at 23 and one stops at 26, then when you hear a sound, you know that you have opened the armrest.

Fight bill with prayers, says bishop
Bishop says praying is the best weapon against controversial health legislation
May 3, 2011
A southern bishop is calling on Catholics to pray the rosary each day to prevent the passage of the controversial reproductive health (RH) bill in Congress. Auxiliary Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo of Cotabato said prayer is still "the best weapon" to oppose a proposal which the Catholic Church believes could open the door to artificial contraception. "Let us storm heaven with our prayers and pray that the minds of our legislators will be enlightened," the prelate said. He also called on Catholics to put up "No to RH Bill" streamers and posters outside their homes to show their opposition to the bill. "That's one way of at expressing our position together," he said. The Archdiocese of Manila this week started a nine-day "vigil for life" in a bid to show its disapproval of the proposed law. Similar activities are also being held in other dioceses. The prayer vigil is scheduled to end on May 9 when Congress resumes and is expected to debate the bill. One left-leaning legislator meanwhile accused anti-bill advocates of raising arguments to the "point of absurdity" after likening proponents of the measure to terrorists. Representative Liza Maza of the Gabriela Women's Party said the comparison was "over the top." Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma over the weekend said those who favor the bill are no better than terrorists and its passage could lead to deaths. "We are far from becoming terrorists who do not value life," Maza said, adding that the bill is "respectful of, and sensitive to, the traditions and religious beliefs of individuals." PM14081

International 14 World Championships at Weymouth preview
by Cailah Leask on 1 Sep 2011
International 14 in action - International 14 World Championships 2011 Christophe Favreau ©
Artemis International 14 World Championships will be held at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) from 3rd to 18th September. The International 14 Class is revving up for the 2011 edition of their most important regatta on the global circuit.
With 68 entries to date, including teams from Australia, Japan, Canada, USA, Italy, Germany, France and the UK, the event promises to provide a spectacle both on and off the water.
Two times defending World Champion, Archie Massey and crew Dan Wilsdon, will be looking to take an unprecedented third World Title, in the tough seven race series. Based in Australia, and the current 'International 14 Australian National Champion', Massey regularly competes against some of the best skiff sailors in the world on the 18ft skiff circuit in Sydney Harbour. But with valuable International 14 training lost due to the shipping time from Australia to the UK, Massey admits, 'with the boat having been moth-balled since the last Worlds, we are completely under-prepared compared to last time'. Maybe the door is ajar for a new 2011 World Champion? Or perhaps this expert is down playing his chances, during the moth-balled period Massey and Wilsdon won this year's Australian National Championships!
Competition comes in the form of Roger Gilbert and Ben McCrane, second at last year's Worlds in Sydney, Australia. They have been training hard in Weymouth and Portland over the summer and have been the team to beat on the UK circuit in both 2010 and 2011.
Three newly designed International 14 dinghies will line up at the Championships. The Tingtong 1, designed by Briton Tom Partington, the B6 designed by American Paul Bieker, who's boats have won eight of the last nine World Championships, and the Killing 3 designed by Canadian, Chris Leigh. The Tingtong 1 has shown blistering pace this year, under the guide of Doug Pattison and Mark Tait, winning the Riva Cup in Garda, Italy. The B6 is more of an unknown quantity, having only competed in a few races in North America; this could be the dark horse to watch. The Killing 3, the newest boat on the water may require some pre-event tuning but no doubt the Canadian Olympic 49er pairing of Billy Gooderham and Ian Hogan will inject some speed.
In addition to the World Championships there will be two events running in parallel to the main event both at the WPNSA venue:
'The International 14 World Team Racing Championships' will be held on the 5th and 6th September. Seven teams will compete over two days in the eagerly awaited 4 boat team racing competition. The Australians will be looking to defend the title won in home waters, but expect fast and furious action, with plenty of opportunity for rival teams to hone their skills and knock the Australian team off the top spot.
The globally renowned, 'Prince of Wales (POW) Cup', is scheduled for the 10th September. The POW Cup is a gruelling 25 mile race that also doubles as the UK National Championships. Roger Gilbert and Ben McCrane will look to defend their UK title won in 2010, but expect fierce competition in a race that cannot be shortened, can last for hours and notoriously provides many twists and

Creating index topics and references
Creating index topics and references
The first thing to know about building an index in InDesign is you do nearly all the work setting up an index in the Index panel, which you can find under Window > Type & Tables > Index. The panel has two modes-- Reference mode and Topic mode--and it's important to get the difference between these two clear in your mind from the start. Topics represent the names of each index entry. Topics have a level, so they can be a top-level standing by themselves or they can be subtopics within a higher-level topic.
Topics are just the names of entries; they don't have any page numbers. So to see Topics, you click on the Topic button. And I have several topics in this document already, which I can see by tipping open the triangles next to each letter. Double-clicking a topic or a subtopic brings us to the Topic Options dialog box, where I can edit the name of the topic, change its level or sorting. I can add topics by importing them from a Microsoft Word or other InDesign document, by ...

It was a few years ago during a cruise on a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship when in my travels around the ship I noticed there was a "Freestyle" deck. The ship had a "Family" deck, "Party" deck, "Quiet" deck and some others, but I had no idea what the "Freestyle" deck was. So I decided to investigate. You had to climb a set of stairs and go through a frosted glass door to get there and immediately my question was answered. I guess "Freestyle" is another way of describing "clothing-optional". I quietly turned around and went back down the steps.

wobbl dubstep imachine
By APPDESIGNER.COM INC.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
The ultimate wobble in a box. Wobbl is a beautifully designed sound board which incorporates 9 pre assigned throbbing bass wobbles and 6 loops which can be triggered simultaneously enabling you to create a range of sonic textures and grooves.
Wobbl is designed as a tool for beat producers of all levels and it's brilliance is it's simplicity and un complicated interface which enables the user to be up and running creating grooves within minutes.
BEWARE… wobbl can be highly addictive!
Wobbl incorporates 15 assigned pads used to trigger loops and one shot samples, they styles are UK dubstep, marginal drum & bass and electro.
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music which originated in South London but has swept the UK and world due to it's tight production and overwhelming bass and throbbing drum patterns.
One characteristic of certain strands of dubstep is the wobble bass, where an extended bass note is manipulated rhythmically. This style of bass is typically produced by using a low frequency oscillator to manipulate certain parameters of a synthesizer such as volume, distortion or filter cutoff. The resulting sound is a timbre that is punctuated by rhythmic variations in volume, filter cutoff, or distortion. This style of bass is a driving factor in some variations of dubstep, particularly at the more club-friendly end of the spectrum.
The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998 and were darker, more experimental, instrumental dub remixes of 2-step garage tracks attempting to incorporate the funky elements of breakbeat, or the dark elements of drum and bass into 2-step, which featured B-sides of single releases. In 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's night club Plastic People, at the "Forward" night sometimes stylized as FWD>> which went on to be considerably influential to the development of dubstep. The term "dubstep" in reference to a genre of music began to be used by around 2002, by which time stylistic trends used in creating these remixes started to become more noticeable and distinct from 2-step and grime. It was labels Big Apple, Amunition and Tempa that began circulating the "dubstep" term.
Wobbl pays respect to the artists who have driven the movement, 12th Planet, 16bit, 2562, Bassnectar, Benga, Big Chocolate, James Blake, Borgore, Boxcutter, Breakage, Burial, Caspa, Chase & Status, Clubroot, Cyrus, Datsik, Digital Mystikz, Dirtyphonics, Distance, DJ Chef, DJ SFR, Doctor P aka, Slum Dogz, Drop the Lime, El-B, Emalkay, Excision, Flux Pavilion, Foreign Beggars, Forensics, FS, The Gaslamp Killer, Geiom, Jon Gooch, Mick Harris, Horsepower Productions, Ikonika, Jakwob, Jazzsteppa, Joker, Joy Orbison, Juakali, Katy B, Kode9, Navene Koperweis, Liquid Stranger, Magnetic Man, Kevin Martin, Martyn Modestep, Mount Kimbie, MRK1, Nero, Joe Nice, Noisia, Pinch, Plastician, Rusko, Reid Speed, Ivan Shopov, Skream, Skrillex, Truth, Unicorn Kid, Vaccine, Vex'd, Warrior Queen, Jamie Woon, Zed Bias, Zeds Dead, Zomby …dues!
…wobble brings UK dustup to your fingertips
Customer Reviews
When I bought this, the main reason was that it said no reviews, and the producers showed a good understanding of DubStep. If the producers did some refinement and added some more features it may be taken seriously, but in my opinion it shouldn't be a payed app, even for a dollar. after about 2 minutes I was no longer interested, but hopefully they will update soon!
There's potential
Should be able to record among other things. I would rate this where it's at now, 2 1/2 stars.. This could be a really awesome app. I see potential.
Pretty weak
It's saving grace is that it's free. I didn't think the samples were any too impressive and there so few that within minutes it gets old... I like the concept.. But the execution needs a lot of work before this app can be taken seriously.
