    To me, it is not how a person looks on the outside or what they wear that makes them beautiful or ugly to me....It is what they do and what they say and how they act that makes them either beautiful or ugly to me.....
    I have no respect and cannot stand people who do not treat other life on this planet with respect and kindness and care,.......To me, that is the biggest reflection of who a person is inside.

    As far as other things go....religion, politics, etc...i don't care...everyone is entitled to their own opinions, beliefs, philosophies, etc......we are not all the same person or should expect anyone else to be an exact mirror of ourselves.....Live and let live.

    I am a Beyoncé fan. "Irreplaceable" was my fucking anthem in 2007.

    The way you posted this, it reads as though you are relieved to admit you are a Beyonce' fan :D



    I enjoy Phantom of the Opera. The play and music.

    I also enjoy the alternative theories to History; we know so little about it so why not look into outside the box ideas. To be honest, sometimes they make the most sense.

    If you want me to watch your video of an baby animal/baby human on the basis that it is cute, that's fine. However, don't try and sell it to me on the basis that it is "hilarious" it is not hilarious. It is dull.

    It guess I could want a player to do badly on the team that I want to win in some parallel universe. It doesn't make much sense to me in this one though.

    Dammit I spelt her name wrong again ... I actually wrote a paper refuting one of the fascist claims she has made. Luckily I caught it that time before turning it in.

    Guy I work with said he wants her in office because she has more experience. Umm mm yeah experience lying cheating and getting rich off of the working man's dime while she gets in office from votes of lifetime unemployment scum.

    Actually according to the Democratic election 8 years ago this isn't really that unpopular.

    This is the paragraph I wrote addressing Hillary's Claim on encryption:


    Hillary Clinton claims that, “impenetrable encryption technology is a threat to our national security.” I disagree with Mrs. Clinton, as she has not studied computer science, cryptography, or computer security; this is made obvious by her contradictory and somewhat ironic claim. In fact, encryption is one of the best tools for keeping computer systems secure; weakening the security of our computer systems and networks will actually weaken our national security. Banning encryption will make it trivial for black-hat hackers, terrorists and other cyber-criminals to break into our systems to steal sensitive personal information or commit other crimes covered by the Computer Fraud and Misuse Act. How secure would you feel if you were not allowed to lock the front door to your home?

    That seems odd. One would think encryption would keep the front doors locked.

    In saying that, didn't they just say they want like 17 billion in computer safety upgrades.

    It can't cost that much to hire some clued in Hackers and pay them $100,000 a yr





    Opinion restart:

    Politics should be 10 people from whom the PUBLIC votes in, weed out 5, then the public votes on those 5 and their ideas/plans and whoever get the most votes wins. The Presidential race could be done in a week.

    That's Democracy

    So let me get this straight, if I may.
    It is ok for the hackers to get into people's private info but not the govt?

    very contradictory and ironic indeed. Every company has "clued in hackers" on the payroll already, because most companies care about their security, and you can bet they use encryption. An intrusion on a server is bad enough, but if it were to happen and the server contains confidential data, it'd be better for all of us if the data was encrypted ... you know so the black hat hacker that gained access can't actually decrypt it and steal all of your banking info or other personal information on the company, or it's consumers. I attended a meeting at my university on computer security, and one of the guys there was talking about how one of the teams has a project that basically has to do with identifying bad tor nodes, i.e. tor nodes that are run by bad people like the NSA. One of the guys there is working on his PhD and is currently studying bitcoin, and how under certain circumstances double spends actually are possible. Pretty interesting.

    I'm not sure what we have can properly be called true democracy. The system is cleverly disguised as such but in the end it seems the people have little say.

    I think he's referring to what we call "white-hat hackers" ... in other terms computer security experts.

    Wanna know another secret? My sister and I went to her concert in 2007. It was during a recession, so tickets were $37.00 AFTER fees and taxes. She sang for over two and a half hours. It was an incredible show.

    The last time she was in town, tickets were minimum $150.00. I still feel super lucky that my sis and I got to see her for so cheap.

    Guy at work was just saying his wife wants tickets to Beyonce and she was trying to talk him into letting her get the $100+ tickets but he was saying she can get the $40 tickets or get new speakers and a CD.

    I like powerful cars that guzzle gas.

    I think that if you haven't ever driven a car that lacks: power steering, power assisted brakes, turn signals, seatbelts, automatic transmission, and a radio, you lack appreciation for modern cars.

    I wish more people would invest more money preserving old cars like they do in Cuba

    I also believe conspiracy theorists and conspiracy realists are wiser than those who always accept the official story.

    And the reason conspiracy realists are demonized, shunned, and mocked so heavily in our society is because the liars and leaders in charge see conspiracy advocates as a threat to their agendas.
