Lie Detector Tests

by averyniceguy in

would you like for your significant other or anyone to take a lie detector test?

i just hate people when they lie to me, but if they confess they did wrong, i will forgive them.

Since polygraph machines have been proven to be only 80% reliable I would go for sodium pentathol.

Feel like crying sometimes- Student Loan Debt

by Chameleon in

i went to a tech school because it seemed like a great idea at the time; i didn't even give community college a thought back then.. anyway, the total program cost something like ~$36k.

this was 4 years ago.

i was only 17.. i didn't learn anything, and now i have this massive debt.. the lender is sallie mae, and yes, i know they're horrible.. i am going to find out how many loans i have and hopefully, i won't have any private loans.. so, i was wondering if consolidation is a good idea?.

You should only consolidate if you know beforehand definitively what the interest rate will be. (They'll misrepresent it) Be very weary. I consolidated recently (last month) and ended up getting screwed.

XOCO- I totally agree. As I read through everything my respect for EbonyJet dropped. Why give this pedo more publicity? Does anyone else wonder what his "children" go through on a daily basis? I loved his music back in the day too but I can't support this guy, nor R. Kelly, etc.

Society's latest stance on Evolution in Jan 1, 2008 WT (bonus quote mining)

by marmot in

my parents gave me the latest "public edition" watchtower and it has 4-page festival of circular logic and hypocritical quote-mining entitled "is evolution compatible with the bible?

the opening salvo is golden, because they go and shoot themselves in the foot with it later on: "is it possible that god used evolution to create men from beasts?

did god direct bacteria to develop into fish and then to continue developing through reptiles and mammals, so that finally a race of apes became humans?

Wow Mavie, I'm stunned at that quote..

"Public Edition"? Are there non-public editions? What's this all about?

Lakota Indian tribe is now its own nation!

by skeeter1 in

lakota indians withdraw treaties signed with u.s. 150 years agothursday, december 20, 2007. .

washington the lakota indians, who gave the world legendary warriors sitting bull and crazy horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the united states.. "we are no longer citizens of the united states of america and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,'' long-time indian rights activist russell means said.. a delegation of lakota leaders has delivered a message to the state department, and said they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the u.s., some of them more than 150 years old.. the group also visited the bolivian, chilean, south african and venezuelan embassies, and would continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months.. lakota country includes parts of the states of nebraska, south dakota, north dakota, montana and wyoming.. the new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free - provided residents renounce their u.s. citizenship, mr means said.. the treaties signed with the u.s. were merely "worthless words on worthless paper," the lakota freedom activists said.. withdrawing from the treaties was entirely legal, means said.. "this is according to the laws of the united states, specifically article six of the constitution,'' which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land, he said.. "it is also within the laws on treaties passed at the vienna convention and put into effect by the us and the rest of the international community in 1980. we are legally within our rights to be free and independent,'' said means.. the lakota relaunched their journey to freedom in 1974, when they drafted a declaration of continuing independence an overt play on the title of the united states' declaration of independence from england.. thirty-three years have elapsed since then because "it takes critical mass to combat colonialism and we wanted to make sure that all our ducks were in a row,'' means said.. one duck moved into place in september, when the united nations adopted a non-binding declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples despite opposition from the united states, which said it clashed with its own laws.. "we have 33 treaties with the united states that they have not lived by.

they continue to take our land, our water, our children,'' phyllis young, who helped organize the first international conference on indigenous rights in geneva in 1977, told the news conference.. the u.s. "annexation'' of native american land has resulted in once proud tribes such as the lakota becoming mere "facsimiles of white people,'' said means.. oppression at the hands of the u.s. government has taken its toll on the lakota, whose men have one of the shortest life expectancies - less than 44 years - in the world.. lakota teen suicides are 150 per cent above the norm for the u.s.; infant mortality is five times higher than the u.s. average; and unemployment is rife, according to the lakota freedom movement's website..

Good for them but I don't see it working out the way they hope it might.
