My school uses Apple computers. Recently, they added an Apple tool to the school website that allowed teachers to give assignments with wikis and blogs. The tool's homepage (http://buzz.7hills.org ) shows that this tool is on a Mac OS X server.
So, on the list of blogs, it shows the few teachers who had already begun to use the technology.
I figured that I'd be blocked if I tried to create a blog, so I clicked on the Add Blog button for the heck of it. Surprisingly, it actually let me create a blog, even though I'm just a student. Unfortunately, my name is in big letters on the blog list and the server doesn't seem to have a Delete Blog function. I'm probably going to get in huge trouble as soon as someone sees this so I desperately need a way to get rid of this.
Please help me get my name off that list!!
Of course we will be told that no, no, no he didn't mean that, it is out of context, it is this or it is that ..blah...blah blah. How many times we have heard, no it isn't as you heard it. But guess what, we did hear it and he did say it.
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can,” Obama said. “It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.”
Get ready to see those electric bills go way up. During slow economic times....won't that be nice? Don't worry though, the wealthy elite can afford it and the government wonks....well hell the taxpayer will pay for theirs.
Hey the SF Chronicle has had this info for a long time. How strange we didn't hear about it or maybe we weren't to hear it?
" Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

Getting rid of coal at the moment will lay off thousands of people. Think, people, think.
^^ directed at Tabbie.
Its hypocritical to blame conservatives for unemployment rates and preach about getting rid of industries such as these. not only that, but it will make our electric bills go sky high. please think about it
Another interview with Obama surfaced that should have made it to the national scene months ago. This one on his stance on coal. It was suppressed because liberal media knew this can hurt him.
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/11/02/politics/fromtheroad/entry4564043.shtml
He wants to bankrupt companies that use coal fired equipment.
First off burning coal is not the dirty Technology of 30 years ago. That is why the words clean coal are used.
Today the coal is pulverized in to a very fine dust and is then injected into a boiler to be burned like it was oil. In many instances the coal dust is mixed with water or steam to further clean the burning process. Add to that the stack scrubbers and the whole range of computer monitoring of the coal burning process is actually cleaner than burning oil in many cases.
The white smoke you see coming from the stacks is just condensate from the water used in cleaning the air.
Obama's plan is a very bad one. It will not bankrupt the coal using industry (Electric producers - who will pass the cost on to us) And the coal producing industry will just continue selling coal to Europe and other nations.
What his plan will do is cause the price of energy in this country too eventually increase over 5 times in cost to the US consumer. But he and the other Democrats don't seem to care.
How do you feel knowing that under Obama, Taxes will increase, energy cost will increase, our military will get weaker and we will still have 4 years to go before the republicans can fix it?
I bet the ones that voted early are sorry now. If you still live with your mommy and daddy and you don't pay the bills, don't answer this question as no one is interested in your opinion
control?
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Obama said, “That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in wind, solar, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches. The only thing that I have said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.”

--Barack Obama in January 2008
NewsBusters' Tom Blumer has found out that the San Francisco Chronicle story published on January 18 based upon this January 17 interview did not include any mention of Obama's willingness to bankrupt the coal industry which you can hear on the audio.

U.S. coal reserves contain 12 times as much energy as all the oil in Saudi Arabia! A brief look at some numbers explains why coal is the country's most abundant and important energy resource.
According to the United States Geological Survey, we have 1.7 trillion tons of identified coal resources -- coal for which geological evidence and engineering studies provide reliable information about location, rank, quality, and quantity. (Geologists recognize that more coal deposits are likely to be discovered in the future, so they estimate total coal resources could amount to 4 trillion tons.)

I have a media class and we have been studying the internet, advertisements, current news/music, web 2.0, blogs, facebook, myspace, Second Life
I hate myspace/facebook so working on a project like that would be a disaster.
I wanted to do something more towards advertising...
our professor hadn't gone in depth into it which I wish she had
we only did parody ads and effective ad study
(we even created a parody)
Any ideas on what I could do about advertising?
We have to do a powerpoint presentation and a seven page essay
I love making videos (not with home shot footage)
so I thought maybe I could add it to my powerpoint
Any advice on the advertising thing or the other topics I listed?
We're supposed to provide history and how it affected modern technology, etc.

It is reported today that Exxon Mobil has shattered their profit records. In their third quarter alone, for 2008, profits for the company were $14.83 billion dollars! $14.83 billion dollars!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081030/ap_on_bi_ge/earns_exxon_mobil
They are just one of the corporations that get the big tax breaks here in America. Yet a large sum of Americans have more than 10% taken out of their paychecks for taxes. I do not believe the Exxon Mobil corporate monkeys are struggling to buy a gallon of milk, pay their light bill, send their children to school, or suffer the everyday struggles most of us do.
Yet, that is exactly what McCain's tax plan would do. Put more money into the hands of oil companies. It is fact, a study done by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, concluded McCain's tax cuts would give $200 billion to corporations and $4 billion to oil companies.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/28/fact-check-mccain-tax-cuts-give-200-billion-to-corporations-4-billion-to-oil-companies/
Most say that the taxes are given to the oil companies to help pursue and complete projects. Then why are we the retards in energy efficient technology? Let's be honest with ourselves, do the Exxon Mobil's of the world need more money?
m1a1mike...I concur, profits 8% compared to some companies 20%. But the fact Exxon is buying more crude than they are selling and that is severely cutting into their profits. "Did you get your memo"...Ignorant I am not, you apparently so. If you had a clue you know what you are saying is a bunch of Shiznik!
*Second quater, 2008, the company returned $10.1 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks, 12% more than last year.
*On an earnings-per-share basis, Exxon made $2.22, 24% higher than last year, a gain Exxon attributes to their stock buyback plan. http://money.cnn.com/2008/07/31/news/companies/exxon_profits/index.htm?cnn=yes
*Exxon spent $31.8 billion to buy back shares in 2007, while shelling out $20.9 billion for capital expenditures. In 2008, the company expects to increase its capital spending to around $25 billion. http://www.baselinemag.com/c/a/Finance/Exxon-Profit-Disappoints-Even-with-High-Oil-Prices/
Poor investors and shareholders!
Ok, so I just started back to High school here recently and I wan to delete ALL of my blogs off of my Myspace account, to start off "fresh" I guess...What I'm trying to get at here is, I want to know how...but I can't find anything on about it on wikihow, or Google...Please Help?!
Oh! And ummm, I'm kind of technology-incapable...so if you could put it in a "step-by-step" easy to understand format, that's be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!! : )

We all know about the usual stuff to use AI programs to monitor phones, emails, blogs and even special microphones that listen through walls etc. What else do the listeners and watchers have that is breakthough tech? They are surely ahead of retail sherlock holmes tech, ya think? Just curious.
I found a new technology advancement for a computers class I am taking and I need to know what kind of technology the new invention requires, but I can't seem to find the exact technology that the Ford company used. Can anyone else?

I've been reading the Mojave blogs along with this one and so badly want to sound off.
The Microsoft Blog, from top to bottom, is a septic tank of misinformation. Microsoft has a long history of disgraceful behaviors and self-serving objectives and this futile public campaign is right on par with their long, distinguished track record.
For starters, it's purely transparent. We have David Webster, a high-level Microsoft manager who is simply another Borg puppet for the Microsoft army of self-serving, profit-seeking, white collar liars and phonies.
His "Vista Blog" begins begins with a T-Rex lie: Microsoft Vista customer satisfaction statistics. According to Borg robot David Webster, Vista has a 90%-plus customer satisfaction establishment. You can read his deep, deep BS here: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/08/26/mojave-the-experiment-continues.aspx
I KNOW that Vista does not have a 90% customer satisfaction rating because I know Vista. Yes, I have struggled with it for more than five minutes. No, I am not basing my STRONG opinion of Vista on rumors or advice of friends. I KNOW Vista inside-out; I could write volumes of technical information about all versions. Having stated these things I now state: MICROSOFT VISTA IS PURELY A FAILURE.
I find few things more insulting than despirate corporate measures that assume consumers are idiots. Hey Mr. Webster: IN A PIG'S EYE!!
Microsoft Vista is a bigger failure than Windows Millenium Edition! It is no surprise that Microsoft has moved in entirely wrong directions with Windows evolution and Vista is the latest testimony to Microsoft's ongoing failures.
The Mojave Experiment is a Microsoft campaign where they interview computer-saavy consumers who are anti-Vista. Borg personnel interview these consumers (undoubtably rehearsed, actors playing as common consumers) and ascertain consumer reasons for being anti-Vista. They then reveal a new Microsoft Operating System called "Mojave" and show these folks a phony operating system package for the product (this aspect of the experiment surely comes very naturally for Microsoft - deceiving and misrepresenting consumers). These anti-Vista people then examine laptops with this new "Mojave" operating system and proclaim joy, excitement and approval for the system. Then Microsoft personnel reveal that Mojave is really just Microsoft Vista.
So let's break down Microsoft's marketing campaign: They are implying that anti-Vista consumers are simply ill-informed, prejudice and misguided people who need to be shown how wonderful Vista really is. By disguising it as a new operating system, the prejudices are circumvented and an unbiased judgement of Vista is rendered - and it's all positive.
This pathetic marketing campaign reveals that Microsoft thinks the general public are morons and easily conned. "Vista is not really a piece of garbage. Those are all nasty rumors and we're confronting all of those people that act as bad influences for other, unsuspecting consumers".
Could this corporation possibly be more morally deficient or arrogant? This assumption of lack of intelligence in the wide population of consumers is deeply insulting at best.
The Mojave Experiment - code name "Polish a Turd".
Vista is garbage. It is a tangible testament to the adage: Lots of things work well in theory but not in practice. Vista is a record-breaking pile of over-bloated code built upon good ideas but poorly implemented and integrated. The net result? A Microsoft operating system that has NO PLACE in any office or commercial environment and certainly no place in any consumer's home computer.
Sadly, Microsoft continues with it's anti-trust behaviors by forcing all of the big computer vendors to load new systems with Vista and remove the customer's option to choose Windows XP.
To qualify my comments and sentiments: I am a 15-year IT professional. I am a 4-generation MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and a 3-generation MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer). I know Microsoft technologies as well as Microsoft Tier-Three technical support engineers and have a long, distinguished and accomplished career as a computer consultant.
I have made a career and lifetime of fortune from Microsoft technologies and believe whole-heartedly that Bill Gates deserves to be in jail. I believe this because it is the truth. Vista is more of the same - Microsoft failures from top to bottom of the corporation and their stubborn commitment to ride it into the ground instead of facing the catastrophic financial losses associated with Vista development. And, as per usual, consumers must suffer for it.
I adamantly advise all of my customers, colleagues and friends to run away from Vista as fast as they can. If you've got a computer with Vista - I PROMISE YOU - it will run so much better with Windows XP. The more powerful, advanced

Can you live without a Phone?
The truth is, I can live without a phone, but it would be slightly difficult for me to do so.
Well in reality, the only things that we cannot live without are food & oxygen. However in context, which is what the question is talking about, I can live without a phone but it would be slightly complicated for me to accomplish. People in today’s society rely quite heavily on technology, and one of the very common and overused piece of technology is the phone. People today have let phones become a prop for support—we get so used to finding ways to use them that we get dependent on them and find it easier for us to function. In today’s society, people have learned to incorporate phones into their hectic lives to help them get away with certain things, such as keeping in touch with friends & family etc, and gradually get to the point of needing them. In today’s youth culture, young people are constantly communicating with their friends and family through various things (i.e. IM Messaging, online blogs, Facebook, Myspace etc), however they still feel the need for a phone, for the reason that no one would only want to have that, and not in emergencies if family & friends live far away and are hard to contact—what if something critical happens? Shall we wait for an email to find out? In my opinion that is ridiculous—that just isn’t enough, because with a phone, you can contact someone within minutes.
In conclusion, I can live without a phone, but it would be slightly difficult for me to do so.

I have 10yrs experience working primarily as a dba/developer using Informix/Ingres on Unix platforms. Developing 4GL forms, sql, reports etc.., I am very competent in Microsoft office and excel/access vba and the Ingres working included maintenance of embedded C code and several label programming languages.
I left my job of 10 years, after 2 years in a software testing role to pursue a university degree.
I have an interview for a graduate vb.net programmer role which includes using asp.net, xml and ado.net.
Through my HNC qualification (2001) I have experience in visual basic and java. I also graduated this year with a BSc Hon in Applied Information Technology with a first which is a general IT degree. The programming elements included access/excel vba, flash actionscript (similar to java), OOP theory, XML and JSP.
So my overall experience is a mixed bag in a number of languages and applications on all kinds of platforms unix, windows, ibm mainframe.
How should I tie in this experience to .net solutions?
I know XML is feature heavily in the ado.net and jsp can be compared to asp.net. Also I have used visual basic 5 which of course is pre.net and procedural based.
I know there will be other graduates and programmers who have more experience than me in the general languages such as java, C++, C#, Vb.net etc..,
What can I do to prove that I could be a better candidate than Joe blogs who did a computer science degree and used .net technology for 3 years?

I cannot remember the name of this website that, I believe in 2005, launched a free service to automatically transcript podcasts and then make the text searchable in a global database. It was I think a US company that had developed this technology for TV etc and then applied it to blogs. It was not very well known even to blogging experts.
I'm looking for the right subject to do for a blog I'm going to start. I want to know what people want. There are already popular blogs for news, gadgets, and technology. What kind of blog do you want to see? I don't want to just do a blog about my life and what I do, because nobody likes those boring things.
I am examining how organisations can respond to negative criticisms made against the brand online. Blogs, social networks, forums etc are being used by consumers to complain about brands, products and organisational practices. The volume of negative user generated content increases on a daily basis. How can companies monitor this ever increasing volume of content effectively, and how should the company subsequently address these criticisms? Can these organisations use the same online communities to address threats to the brand equity? As an online community, what are your thoughts?

I live in new york
Presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) purportedly told House Democrats in a private meeting Tuesday that Israel may strike Iran if sanctions on the country fail to prevent development of nuclear technology.
Obama told the caucus, according to an attendee, "Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the sanctions don’t work Israel is going to strike Iran." Others in the room recall this as well.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/obama-to-house.html
MORE:
Now that the Bush administration is engaged in diplomatic efforts with Iran, many Israeli officials are worried the US is getting soft on Iran, prompting Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak to travel to the US this week to meet with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. Barak's office released a statement saying "a policy that consists of keeping all options on the table must be maintained."
Another attendee at the meeting of House Democrats recalls Obama saying that the good news is that Obama got the sense that the Arab states understand just how destabilizing a nuclear Iran would be -- a "game changer," Obama said -- because they know Israel would probably strike and that would be bad for everyone.
I'm not sure if it's anywhere else in the world, but theres a new law-thing where if you're caught downloading music illegally, you get three written warnings and then are cut off from the internet. At least 4 major ISPs have signed up (BT, Virgin media, Orange and Tiscali) that I know of.
Question is: If I download some music for my holiday (on Saturday) and the law hasn't came in, will it still count for a warning? And does anyone have any ideas when it's coming in?

If you read any blogs about apple or regularly watch "The Feed" you will know that Apple is projecting lower sales in the 4th quarter. They are speculating this because of "new technology that competitors are not attempting." I heard of OLCD's and price drops. Does anybody know of any other speculation and have links to your sources. IF YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION BY SAYING I DONT KNOW I WILL CLICK THE LITTLE THUMBS DOWN BUTTON!!! SO PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH GOOD INFO.
Hi, I wanted to know the top technology blogs . can you people suggest some regularly updated blogs where i can read about internet , software news etc..
Please, please! I really need help. I'm sorry this is so long, but I need helpful advice. Right now, I'm about to cry, I feel nauseated, stomach tightening, about to gag, having the start of a panic attack, feeling like my life is ruined. Why can't I live life normally, because of my mental disability? My life is so complicated. No one really understands. No one cares. People treat me like I don't have a right to live, & family members hate me so much they want me DEAD. I'm not allowed to get a job, a car, or a husband, have kids, take a vacation, do what makes me happy, etc. without people judging me & telling me what I should & shouldn't do, & telling me how I should live my life. I'm tired of people hounding over me, feeling the need to MONITOR me 24/7 because they think I'm too stupid to know left from right.
It doesn't matter to others whether I have a college degree or not. I have a BA in Spanish, & people tell me, "I really don't believe you have a college degree. & you stole someone else's degree & made a xerox copy of it & put your name on there." (which is NOT true).
People DEMAND an answer for my personal business. I don't have a right to privacy. People look for excuses to trigger off my mental illness symptoms, just to feel powerful & get their kicks off of getting me wrongfully arrested or mentally institutionalized, evne if they feel they need to make up a LIE, just to get me put there, if their original strategy isn't working.
I just don't understand. & if I DO get a boyfriend or a job, family members, enemies, acquaintances, etc. do EVERYTHING in their power to get them taken away from me. My OWN twin sister hates me SO much, & she spread lies on me, saying I molested her kids, which is NOT true. She lied to her friends, saying I'm the lesbian, & she's the str8 one. She's the true lesbian, & I'm the heterosexual one. Everything she does wrong, she blames it on me. Or any difficult situation she goes through, she says it's ALL my fault (again, blaming me). We used to be in long-term foster care with abusive foster family members who hiked us up to argue, fight, etc., & students from school used to try to get us to argue & fight, too. 1 person would tell me, "Say girl! Your sister said you *********." [Sorry to sound graphic, but that's what they say].
The foster family used to beat on me & try to murder me, & give STRANGERS permission to "bust my @$$". They told me that I'm gonna wind up in jail or dead & deserve it. After we turned 18, the dumb social worker ENCOURAGED my foster mom to take my checks-my social security back pay & a trust fund from my dad. I didn't know any better. The social worker made me sign over my checks to the foster mom, & the foster mom did "who knows what" with my $$. I was young & didn't know any better. They lied & said that they were gonna give me the money later. I never received it. The bank said it was HER $$ & not mine. & the foster mom is so quick to jump down my throat over a 10-cent piece of gum, saying I spend up ALL my money. She would DEMAND an answer for how much $$ I have in the bank. When I was working during my Sr. yr. in high school, she made me give her my checks. I was very intimidated by her. Still am.
They're OBSESSED with talking about how I deserve to get my @$$ kicked, & saying that people have a right to do so. I don't bother anyone. I don't do anyone any harm. People are always controlling & meddlesome. They choose "ME" to pick on, misuse, take their anger & frustration out on, take advantage of me, etc. & when I call the cops, they lie & say that it was all in my head, & that I'm crazy & imagining things, making things up. THIS is NOT made up. Cops say they don't believe me because the people would get fake witnesses who weren't there to see the situation with their own eyes nor hear. The neighbors & the foster boys lie & say I was "cutting up", which means misbehaving.
If someone yells @ me & tries to publicly humiliate me for NO reason, & others laugh, OF COURSE I'm gonna throw a fit! They find it AMUSING that I'm 24 & still get bossed around & told what to do. When the foster mom's family members come over, she yells @ me for DUMB reasons, & her family get their kicks out of seeing me be verbally & mentally abused. & she's always starting trouble with me, & when I verbally retaliate, they're READY to jump in & POUND my face into the ground like that (I think it's called a power driver) thingy that construction workers use to break up old cement off the ground. But anyway, when she goes off on me, they LAUGH. They would choke me, beat me, put me in wrestling moves where I can't breathe, & I'm suffocating & smothering.
I HATE 99.9% of people I know. Family or not. Past & present. I'm afraid to leave the house & venture out & make new friends. I'm glad I'm out of this situation with them now, & I have my own apt. But now I have to put up with this from my biological family. EXACT SAME TREATMENT & ABUSE! My past abuse treatment is incorporated into my intrusive, unwanted OCD thoughts.
I see a psychiatrist & a counselor, but the 50-minutes, once a week sessions aren't enough for me to say what I need to say. I feel like I have NOBODY. I only have 1 friend. That friend is out of the 0.1% people that I DO like & love.
I can't even go swimming or listen to my favorite songs on my mp3 player without being considered WRONG or a danger to society. I mean, how can listening to music be a danger to myself? How can going swimming or taking a hike/walk be a danger to myself & others? People always think it's THEIR place to punish me from doing what makes me happy, or make me punish myself.
I see people my age married with kids, a good job, people younger than me financially better off than me & OWNING BUSINESSES! I can't even host or throw a casual small party without someone going OFF on me, yelling @ me, & telling me that I shouldn't try to throw a party because I don't know what I'm doing. I can't even have a family get-together @ my house or their house because my holiday would be a disaster with them ganging up on ME & disrespecting me.
It's not fair how my twin sister gets treated better than me because she strives for popularity, & I'm considered the antisocial geek. & they say I'm jealous. I have no need to be jealous of wrongful favoritism.
We weren't supposed to have any contact with our birth family until after we turned 18 because shortly after birth, my birth mom tried to smother me & kill me because she said she was jealous of how my grandma chose me as the favorite because I was a pleasantly plump baby. We were newborns/infants. & my twin had to stay in an incubator for a long time. My mom is a schizophrenic who uses street drugs & overdoses on steroids. Her mind is so messed up. & people think that just because my mom is schizophrenic, that makes me crazy, too. I don't suffer schizophrenia.
Before we turned 18, my twin sister would sneak over there, & she told the family EVERYTHING bad about me before I can even meet them. Then, when I met them, it was like a disgrace.
My twin sister has been struggling with her sexuality with all her life. She was in the closet & in denial for yrs., & figured if she married a man who resembled a female & had 3 kids for him, then that would "prove" to the WORLD that she's NOT gay. I never knew she was really a lesbian until now she calls herself a stud. I have nothing against the LGBT community, I'm not homophobic. My friend is BI. She's 1 of the 0.1% of people I love. People think my twin sister has more sense than me, just because she's ghetto & hard, & I'm not. She tries SO hard to try to please & impress the world, when I'm out to please myself. But others won't allow me. Even as an adult, if I try to go to the store to get groceries, meddlesome people (family or not) are always like, "Where are you going? Does yo' mama know where ur at!? Get yo' @$$ back inside...NOW! Before ' I ' bust yo' @$$!" & once again, everyone around laughs. Even though I'm 24, 15-yr. old teens talk to me this way, & their parents tell them that the child has every right to bust my ***.
My foster sister's stepdaughter told me @ age 15 that I shouldn't EVER have kids! & this is very bothersome to me. After she left to go back to her mom's house when she turned 16, she got pregnant AS SOON AS SHE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. & people agree with her "a child's" opinion that I should never produce kids. Why is it OK for my twin sister to get married & have kids, & not me? & also, that same girl (the foster sister's stepdaughter) stole my cellphone @ age 15, using it to call men out of town @ night to talk sexual dirty talk, & she ran up ALL my minutes. She snooped through my phone & listened to my messages. & she had NERVE to say that I'm always complaining about people doing me something. OK. If someone stole your cellphone & did you all these things. Wouldn't you complain, too? Wouldn't you PROTEST against this unfair treatment?
People say I'm weak, naive, gullible, & vulnerable. That's why the choose ME to pick on. I hate when groups of people gang up on me, & I have no defense. The foster & biological family are so manipulative that they say if I tell anyone about the way they abuse me & encourage others to abuse me, then they're gonna take me to court for defamation & slander. But I'm telling the truth. I just have no one on my defense. & of course there's no video surveillance or tape recorder. So this is hard to prove in court. & they stalk my MySpace blogs & hack into my account & make threats to sue me. My foster sister's husband is supposedly a technology expert who knows all the hacks & everything. They make it like I'm REALLY supposed to be afraid of them.
I suffer OCD, Tourette's, anxiety, & depression, & I had 2 strokes @ age 5. @ I had hearing & speech problems & was at risk for pervasive developmental disorder when I was very young. & I also had a behavior disorder, but my behavior improved TREMENDOUSLY since 6th grade.
By 7th grade, I was a person who studied a lot & had my career goals planned & set. My family & the psychiatrist thought it was bizarre, & that I was talking out of my head because @ the age of 12, I had a desire to become a doctor. I tried to pursue a Biology/Pre-Med major in college because I wanted to become an OB/GYN becaause I'm very interested in women's health & childbirth because I think it is very amazing.
People took it out of context, saying that I'm pervertic for wanting to be an OB/GYN. I wanted to go to the Air Force, & the foster family pushed EVERYONE in the family to go, but I was eager to join, & they made up lies about me so the recruiters wouldn't accept me. They pushed my twin sister up to go, & when she got in, they were saying that I'm JEALOUS. Why didn't they say SHE was jealous when I graduated high school with 3.6 GPA ranked in the top 10% of my class? 39 out of 404, while my twin sister had to do to summer school. But anyway, I'm not for any comparison or competition. But people always try to compare us 2, & make it like she's better than me & looks better than me because she's hard & ghetto. & when people DECIDE to give her undeserved incentives that " I " worked hard for, that's not right. So why should I be jealous.
But over time, I've began to feel more & more depressed. I went through Hurricane Katrina, lost a lot of my belongings, in financial debt because of it. Now debt collectors are trying to sue me, but no employers want to hire me because according to them, I seem throwed off (throwed off, meaning ditzy & klutzy. Like my head isn't screwed on tight.) Well, of COURSE I'm going to seem mentally off if I had 2 strokes @ such a young age, right?
Many people tell me I dwell on the negative & the past & complain too much. I know I seem child-like, but I didn't get to live a normal childhood. I was always punished from social functions & social activities. Never get to watch TV or talk on the phone. Never got to go to the mall with friends. The foster family always felt like I needed to be chaperoned. & not because I'm gonna do anything bad. They just want to have a reason to get me punished again.
Like I remember this one time when my foster sister took us swimming, & I was in 7th grade. A kid offered to let me play with his swim toy. I think it was those floaties. & my foster sister punished me the ENTIRE evening! & every time people from school would see me, & tell me hi, my foster family would punish ME for saying hi back. & then when we would go to school the next day, that kid no longer had respect for me & was no longer my friend.
I can't have friends. I don't want friends. Every new friend I get tries to boss me around & control me, telling me what I should & shouldn't buy, when we go grocery shopping. & they yell @ me & publicly humiliate me in WalMart, & they're not looking out for my best interest, & neither do they care. They just want to have somebody to CONTROL! & then when I see them @ school (college campus) then next day, they turn their nose up @ me. & then I feel like, "Well, I'll be DAMN! If that was the case, I could've bought that 10-lb. bag of sugar that was on sale for $2.", for example.
& the only friend I have, she's the ONLY one who doesn't treat me like this. I ain't gon' lie. She USED TO at first, but then as she got to know me, she started to have more respect for me. The guys, who sexually want her, try to to make up lies against me, & they want her to delete me out of her life so they can have her all to themselves. & they think we're sleeping together since we hang out so much. Well, I'm hetero, & she's BI. I have no desire for another female. I want to get married & have kids. But that looks unlikely to happen. =(
People don't care about me. Not even my family. It's like, I'm supposed to be single, helpless, & child-like for the rest of my life. I hate being 24 & getting yelled @ by a 14-yr. old BOY. I hate that the foster family allowed the 12-yr. old BOYS to send me to my bedroom as time-out. & those boys got a KICK out of that, too. People say " I " have poor social skills. People scream AHHH & run when they see me, they try to avoid me, they treat me like I'm a pest. & other people say that people don't treat me like this for no reason, & they think that I MUST'VE provoked them to abuse me. So, the fact that I EXIST is provoking you? I'm 24, & a 13-yr. old tells me not to buy McDonald's, & I ignore HIM & do it anyway. & he aims for knocking ALL my teeth out. He doesn't succeed, but he busts my lip. The cops get called, & the foster mom lie & say that I tripped over a rock & fell on concrete or something. Or they say I choked myself, when the foster brother put his knee in my throat & tried to murder me over an argument over something he had nothing to do with. Even the MEN in the family 6'7" tall & try to hurt & try to kill little bitty me, 5'2". & they punch me & pound on me with ALL their strength & might. Last time this happened was like 2 yrs. ago, but it's still bothersome to me. People think I'm an attention-seeking drama queen, when I'm not. When I get sick, they lie & say it's all in my head. It's not. Sometimes it's the side effect of the psych meds. Sometimes it's Irritable Bowel Syndrome pains.
People don't want me to be an adult. 1 time, I tried to take my older brother in because he's a lot like me, but he needs people to take care of him because he's more mentally disabled than I am. But we're alike in many ways. The "foster" sister overheard my conversation & ran & told my foster mom, & the foster mom tried to STOP me from trying to take care of my brother. I'm totally different than my twin sister. & this brother surprisingly gets more respect than me, but we still get treated the same way sometimes. & the foster sister's husband tried to butt in. & he told me that I put myself in the position to DESERVE to be abused for dealing with my family because I keep putting my hand in the fire by dealing with them. Well, dealing with HIM-the foster brother-in-law, I guess I'm putting my hand back in the fire. Lots of my situations I could not escape from because of lack of money & access to available resources.
In conclusion, I just want to know if this is normal. I know it's not, but what do YOU think? How would you handle dealing with this? How would you feel to have to question the morality of everything you do, think, or say? Would it drive you INSANE to question to yourself if what you're thinking, saying, or doing is rational, logical, making sense, or not.
Many people tell me that they couldn't deal with the $hit I had to take off of people for so many yrs. They said they would've committed suicide LONG time ago! Many people think I'm weak because I obsess over this & can't get this out of my head. But then, they say I'm very strong for still @ least TRYING to pursue my career & not giving up.
Sorry so long, & thanks for reading.
It's cool we have we lots of news coverage to see what's going on but so much of it is divisive, one sided, and full of propoganda. I sometimes wish for the just the days of NBC, CBS, and ABC news coverage. You're weekend and nightly news. Not being inundated with gallup polls, and internet blogs. Sometimes I think alot of this new age media and technology sucks.
A small blog, which could attract traffic and help me make some money, and its at least known for some technology/science related stuff, or for hosting good blogs.
Any Idea? I'm willing to use blogger but it doesn't attract that much traffic!
Blogs would be an example of:
A. movie-watching technology.
B. the most recent technological trend.
C. outdated technology.
D. one way the Internet creates new shared images, patterns, and symbols.
Yes it is nice and wonderful to experience & enjoy superior technology thru google, yahoo & msn. Yes I certainly enjoy the emails, blogs, chats..VOIP.. but just couldn't understand till date why on earth are these people offering these facilities free.. I have heard many many times .... "There are no free lunches"... .Is it really such a self-sacrificing...self-enlightening movement from these guys to provide "free-stuffs..to the world..or if there is something cooking behind in their R & D labs .."...Btw .. i understand i am using yahoo answers to ask the world this question....
. I would love to hear your views....
Cheers
I just created a blog and I'm thinking about posting a lot of technology news. When I do this, even if I write my own article, I need to provide the source website, correct? I'm pretty sure I do, but I wasn't completely sure. Thanks.
Thanks for all the great answers! ^_^
I have seen many anti-furry sites,blogs,forums,petitions.
What the hell is going on?
Recently, i stumbled upon the most anti-democratical petition i've ever seen:
To: Furries
This petition is to ban the use of the word "yiff" in any way, shape or form.
If foxes do, in fact, make this sound, they will be shot on site.
Signing this petition also shows your support for the banishing of all furries from this planet. They will all be sent into space on a giant rocket, powered by their own stupidity (we have the technology!).
Sincerely,
Should i start my own petition against these anti-furry freaks?
I got bored today and decided to just google 'zombies' then I came across 'zombie apocalypse' and then got lost and dragged into reading many blogs and articles about it. Personally, I love zombie movies and I know that they are only movies and that the dead can't possibly walk the earth and eat people but I came across this one article and I really never thought about it the way they had explained. Apparently technology has gotten so advanced that we are actually able to turn people into 'zombie like' creatures and such...It's kinda disturbing. Oh, and even somewhere in the Bible it says that the dead will walk to earth when hell is full or something. I don't know Give me your opinions on this. Oh and this is the website I came across if anyone is interested =p

Haa yeah so uhm I didn't realize that is said "cracked.com" I was just surfing. Thanks for all you guys feed back though. I was just curious and babysitting my siblings while they were all taking a nap. I don't know, keep sending stuff it's fun reading your comments =]

CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. -- Numbers come precisely from the agile mind and nimble tongue of Frank Buckles, who seems bemused to say that 4,734,991 Americans served in the military during America's involvement in the First World War and that 4,734,990 are gone. He is feeling fine, thank you for asking.

I would argue that in order to have a better education system and augment to our current education system, we need new technology such as blogs and discussion boards, and i was wondering why in the world would some schools in the united states ban the use of these things?what is their point in this argument and how have they been able to do this in a democratic country?
