Dear World III

Dear World,
      I would like to take a moment to talk about video games. Many of you know that there is a lot of controversy over the effects on video games between children and video games, no doubt you already have an opinion (if not a small one) about how video games should be sold and destributed. Also, you may agree that some restrictions are healthy for young children who choose to play the games like Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, and others. There is a reason for the M rating. Now on to the point of the convorsation. For those of you who enforce the M rating to either their kids, their neiphews, or even the neighbor, good job, no great job, if there was an award for role models among the community, you would be that winner, but there isnt so how about a pat on the back instead. For those of you who allow there kids to play whatever the F@#k they want without any care or thought to what happens, you have got some problems and the only question i have is, Have you seen the games out today! REALLY! But for you parents that fall inbetween the gap, the parents who allow there kids to make their own desicions but with a little guidence, you are in my opinions the real parents. You know that kids (now when i say kids i mean those like 14 and up, if your laxed about a twelve year old playing something like DeadSpace, you belong in the problem category) need a little down-to-earth parenting, the parents who realize that there kid is old enough to tell right from wrong. Those are the parents I wish were more of, and yes there is that grey area when you need to sort out the difference. I am now seventeen, and i remember when i was fourteen and wondered what could possibly be so bad that i wasnt allowed to play a silly game, now im not so naive! I've played the games today and they are not a happy fun time elmo show. But I guess what im trying to say is that, we need to set boundries, video games dont have them, and if parents dont or have too many, then you will never see the really huge difference maker between reality and video games, and that is just that, IT IS JUST A GAME, FAKE, NOT REAL, and im not saying people shouldn't worry about there affects on children, im just saying that if you think that if you get into a car with a hooker, that you will be cured of all of your diseases, come on.

Dear World II

Dear World,
You know, if you think about it, we are all a bunch of losers. We really are, but dont break down and slit your wrists or anything after reading this (that means you, anonymous reader with the knife). There is nothing wrong with being a loser in this world. I mean come on, it could be worse, you culd be a crazed cult leader who killed millions of his own people, only to eventualy be screwed by his own deal when he was put on the America's Most Wanted list. Then in a bizarre sequence of events, (well, actually, it's not been that bizzare really it was more traumatizing, we'll get back to that) drove a few terrorists into a state of vulnerability that lead them to the false conclusion that if they flew some planes into two buildings, (I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just not going to make it sound like it was any better) and a military facility, they would be able to have endless pleasure with 40 virgins in a heaven-like state. (*fhew*) And finally, ten years later you could have made a list of horrible, horrible, things that we, as a country have all gathered and agreed that you are the most evil person/place/thing, in the entire world, ends up with a bullet wound to the face, and is now drowning at the bottom of the sea where no one could ever care about you ever again. You know that sounds really familiar, huh, must be something I read.
So you see you dont need to worry, being a loser can be kinda fun. Well, that is all for this letter.

SYDNEY (AFP) – A 22-year-old Australian university student has solved a problem which has puzzled astrophysicists for decades, discovering part of the so-called "missing mass" of the universe during her summer break.
Undergraduate Amelia Fraser-McKelvie made the breakthrough during a holiday internship with a team at Monash University's School of Physics, locating the mystery material within vast structures called "filaments of galaxies".
Monash astrophysicist Dr Kevin Pimbblet explained that scientists had previously detected matter that was present in the early history of the universe but that could not now be located.
"There is missing mass, ordinary mass not dark mass ... It's missing to the present day," Pimbblet told AFP.
"We don't know where it went. Now we do know where it went because that's what Amelia found."
Fraser-McKelvie, an aerospace engineering and science student, was able to confirm after a targeted X-ray search for the mystery mass that it had moved to the "filaments of galaxies", which stretch across enormous expanses of space.
Pimbblet's earlier work had suggested the filaments as a possible location for the "missing" matter, thought to be low in density but high in temperature.
Pimbblet said astrophysicists had known about the "missing" mass for the past two decades, but the technology needed to pinpoint its location had only become available in recent years.
He said the discovery could drive the construction of new telescopes designed to specifically study the mass.
Pimbblet admitted the discovery was primarily academic, but he said previous physics research had led to the development of diverse other technologies.
"Whenever I speak to people who have influence, politicians and so on, they sometimes ask me 'Why should I invest in physics pure research?'. And I sometimes say to them: 'Do you use a mobile phone? Some of that technology came about by black hole research'.
"The pure research has knock-on effects to the whole society which are sometimes difficult to anticipate."

So now what?

Ok, now you have got to be kidding, "the end of the world", really? Because out of the last five "end of the world" predictions have actually happened, well i'll tell you:
Oct. 22, 1844
No, but thousands of people gave away all their posessions, only to be surprised when the world did not come to end, and the day came to be known as "The Great Disappointment." The Millerites splintered into several religious groups, the largest and most mainstream being the Seventh-day Adventists, and the smallest and most unconventional probably being the Branch Davidians. Millerism has also influenced the Baha'i Faiith.
How about 1806?
Nope, Charles Mackay's 1841 book, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds," describes it thus:

"Great numbers visited the spot, and examined these wondrous eggs, convinced that the day of judgment was near at hand. Like sailors in a storm, expecting every instant to go to the bottom, the believers suddenly became religious, prayed violently, and flattered themselves that they repented them of their evil courses. But a plain tale soon put them down, and quenched their religion entirely. Some gentlemen, hearing of the matter, went one fine morning, and caught the poor hen in the act of laying one of her miraculous eggs. They soon ascertained beyond doubt that the egg had been inscribed with some corrosive ink, and cruelly forced up again into the bird's body. At this explanation, those who had prayed, now laughed, and the world wagged as merrily as of yore."
Ok, then Dec. 21, 1954, something had to had happened.
Wrong again,
Martin's followers, many of whom quit their jobs and gave away their possessions, gathered in her home to await the aliens. (Martin's husband, a nonbeliever, slept upstairs through the whole thing.) To avoid being burned by the flying saucer, her followers removed all metal from their persons, including zippers and bra straps. Midnight came and went, and the group became increasingly agitated. Finally, at 4:45 a.m., Martin said that she received another message from Clarions informing her that God was so impressed by her group's actions that he changed His mind and decided to spare the earth. The group was infiltrated by a psychologist named Leon Festinger, who used his observations to develop the theory of cognitive dissonance.
But, what about Y2K?
Bubkiss, in fact the man who had predicted the end is still at it with his new book. In 2008, he wrote a column for the conservative news site WorldNetDaily suggesting that Barack Obama is the Antichrist.

Although, we can be rest assured that we will have another prediction to add to the list. But untill then goodbye, and have the best of today,

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The 12 astronauts circling the Earth received a blessing from Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday in the first ever papal call to space.

The pope addressed the crews of the linked space shuttle Endeavour and International Space Station from the Vatican, making special mention of the U.S. commander's wounded congresswoman wife and the recently deceased mother of one of the two Italian astronauts on board. The historic communication — "extraordinary" in the pope's words — took place just a couple of hours after the shuttle astronauts finished inspecting a small gash in Endeavour's belly to ensure their safety when returning to Earth. It is the next-to-last flight in NASA's 30-year shuttle program.

Seated at a table before a television set tuned to NASA's live broadcast from orbit, Benedict said the space fliers are "our representatives spearheading humanity's exploration of new spaces and possibilities for our future." He said he admired their courage, discipline and commitment.

"It must be obvious to you how we all live together on one Earth and how absurd it is that we fight and kill each one," the pontiff said, reading from prepared remarks. "I know that Mark Kelly's wife was a victim of a serious attack, and I hope her health continues to improve."

Kelly, who's Catholic, thanked the pope for his kind words. His wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, had surgery to repair her skull Wednesday, four months after being shot in the head at a political event in Tucson, Ariz.

The shuttle commander told the pope that borders cannot be seen from space and noted that on Earth, people usually fight for resources. At the space station, solar power provides unlimited energy, "and if those technologies could be adapted more on Earth, we could possibly reduce some of that violence," he said.

Benedict also asked about the future of the planet and the environmental risks it faces, and wanted to know what the astronauts' most important message would be for young people when they return home.

Space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. spoke of the paper-thin layer of atmosphere "that separates every living thing from the vacuum of space." And shuttle crewman Mike Fincke described how he and his colleagues "can look down and see our beautiful planet Earth that God has made."

"However, if we look up, we can see the rest of the universe, and the rest of the universe is out there for us to explore," Fincke said. "The International Space Station is just one symbol, one example, of what human beings can do when we work together constructively."

Near the end of the 18-minute conversation, Benedict expressed concern for astronaut Paolo Nespoli, whose 78-year-old mother died in northern Italy at the beginning of May while he was serving on the space station.

"How have you been living through this time of pain on the International Space Station?" the pope asked.

"Holy Father, I felt your prayers and everyone's prayers arriving up here where outside the world ... we have a vantage point to look at the Earth and we feel everything around us," Nespoli replied in Italian.

Nespoli will end his five-month space station mission Monday, returning to Earth on a Russian Soyuz capsule.

He will bring back with him a silver medal that shuttle astronaut Roberto Vittori took up with him aboard Endeavour, that was provided by the pope. It depicts Michelangelo's "Creation of Man," the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Vittori floated the commemorative coin in front of him, then gently tossed it to Nespoli, positioned on the opposite end of the front row of astronauts.

"I brought it with me to space, and he will take down on Earth to then give back to you," Vittori told the pontiff. He added that he prays in space "for me, for our families, for our future."

The long-distance papal audience was arranged by the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. NASA provided technical support from Mission Control in Houston.

Inside the ancient frescoed halls of the Vatican — where email wasn't even in wide use until a few years ago — the call was received with visible awe.

The 84-year-old Benedict chuckled when one of the astronauts began floating up at the end of the transmission. He waved to the crew at the beginning and end of the call.

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the call was evidence of the pope's desire to communicate with people however possible, be it sending a text message with a prayer of the day or a YouTube channel playing church teachings.

Before gathering for the extra-special VIP call, the shuttle astronauts conducted an hourlong survey of the gouge in Endeavour's belly, using a 100-foot extension boom.

NASA ordered the inspection, even though managers said there was no reason to be alarmed by the damage generated by Monday's liftoff on Endeavour's final voyage. Experts on the ground immediately began analyzing the 3-D images beamed down.

The extra safety checks were put in place following the 2003 Columbia disaster.

The gouge — spanning two or three tiles — measures just 3.2 inches by 2.5 inches. It's the depth that flight controllers hoped to ascertain with Saturday's survey, to make certain no repairs were needed.

Similar damage was seen on a flight by Endeavour in 2007. That gash turned out to be just an inch deep, and no repair was necessary. By coincidence, that 2007 mission was commanded by Kelly's identical twin brother, Scott.

Still ahead for Kelly and his crew are three more spacewalks, the next one on Sunday. Landing is scheduled for June 1.

Dear World

Dear World,
It's no secret that the world is in a screwed up situation, with the death of OBL, the oil spill off the coast, the world "crisis" in increasing oil prices, there is a lot to take in if you think about it.
And what now, what can we do in the future to deal and to cope with all these goings ons? Well, for starters, we could stop worrying so f@#king much! Just sit back and enjoy life, for once, just ignore the nuclear radiation spewing out of Japan, the countless warheads stored away beneath the floors of America's "unmentionables".
It's not like I'm saying just drop what your doing and say screw off to your job, (as much as that would be amazing), just relax, the world is not going to end if you decide to have a beer or something.

why did the chicken cross the rode

george W. bush

we dont realy care why the chicken crossed the rode. we just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the rode or not. the chicken is either with us or agenst usthere is no middle ground here

al gore

i invented the chicken. i invented the rode. therefore, the chicken crossing the rode represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the american people

 colin powell

now at the left of the screen you can clearly see the satolite image of the chicken crossing the rode

hanz blix

we have reason to beleve there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the rode

saddam hussein 
this was an unprovoked act of rebellion and were quite justified in dropping 50 tones of nerve gass on it

iraq ambassador

the chicken did not cross the rode this a compleat fabrication we dont even have a chicken

jerry falwell

because the chicken was gay! isn't it obvious? cant you people see the plain truth in front of your face? the chicken was going to the "other side." thats what they call it--the other side yes, my friends, that chicken is gay and, if you eat that chicken you will become gay too i say we boycot all chickens untill we sort out this abomination that th liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side"

Stephen Hawking says afterlife is a fairy story

By Liz Goodwin liz Goodwin – Mon May 16, 11:07 am ET

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking recently explained his belief that there is no God and that humans should therefore seek to live the most valuable lives they can while on Earth.
Guardian writer Ian Sample asked Hawking if he feared death in a story published yesterday. This was his response:

I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

Hawking's 1988 book  "A Brief History of Time" sold 9 million copies, and in it Hawking referenced God metaphorically as the force that could fully explain the creation of the universe.
But in 2010, Hawking told Diane Sawyer that "science will win" in a battle with religion "because it works."

"What could define God [is a conception of divinity] as the embodiment of the laws of nature. However, this is not what most people would think of that God," Hawking told Sawyer. "They made a human-like being with whom one can have a personal relationship. When you look at the vast size of the universe and how insignificant an accidental human life is in it, that seems most impossible."

Hawking's latest book, "The Grand Design," challenged Isaac Newton's theory that the solar system could not have been created without God. "Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to ... set the Universe going," he writes.

Hawking was diagnosed with the degenerative Lou Gehrig's disease at the age of 21. He lost his power of speech and for decades has talked through an electronic speech synthesizer. The device has allowed him to continue his research and attain a top Cambridge research post, which was previously held by Newton. His most famous theory explains how black holes emit radiation, according to The Guardian.

So if everyone is destined to power-down like computers at the end of their lives, what should humans do to lend meaning to their experience?

"We should seek the greatest value of our action," Hawking told the paper.

(Hawking in China in 2006: Elizabeth Dalziel/AP)

from: yahoo.com

I honestly think that what he is saying is contradictory to science and math because for one, no mater or energy can be destroyed it just changes forms. This is proven and who we are the personality and memories the things that make us who we are is composed of energy. now I am not saying there is a heaven or hell but for him to say there is no afterlife is logically wrong because one there is an after life because when life is over you are dead otherwise known as an afterlife. I know it is just a play on words but who ever wrote this should have been more specific. One other thing the universe recycles everything so when this life is over the matter and energy are simply changed into something ells so it can be used in the big picture of things instead of just lying there inert some time in the past he had a theory that mater and energy that went into a black hole was erased but later he retracted that statement to say the information is not erased but radiates off the black hole as hocking radiation so again it is not destroyed just changes into something ells

but i agree there is no god humanity start taking credit for your own acheviments and stop giving it to imagonary beings in the sky.       

why not

Throughout the world people, namely the younger generations have been rising to the challenge of over throwing corrupt governments. I ask why have we not done the same, our government is corrupt to the point of no return when presidents come into office they have a hard time passing new legislation and making any king of change to the country and after a while they become as corrupt as the congress and the other branches of government.
Every new term there is a new problem or issue that takes center stage diverting the attention away from the important issues. These controversies and social problems are all important in there own right but more important things should be addressed first. like the national debt or free universal health care and college but instead congress finds the most asinine things to argue about, like House Bill 1243, Senate Bill 234, Senate Concurrent Resolution 8, House Resolution 180, House Resolution 83, House Resolution 47, and House Resolution 18 it took them 28 minutes to talk about House Resolution 83 and it is to recognize the significance of Black History Month. Honestly some of these items are important but could have sat on the back burner compared to some other issues oh say for instants the continued mistreatment of minorities so yes House Resolution 83 is important and I am including it in what I said earlier about the continued mistreatment of minorities but still other things like congress wanting to award a gold medal to Arnold Palmer because he is a good golfer. That award is the highest honor that congress can bestow on a civilian but they give it to him simply because he is a good golfer what is even worse is that they wanted to inspect rescue workers from 911 to make sure they were not terrorists before giving them money to help pay the medical bills
A closing note to ponder do you want representatives who will continue to dishonor you or do you want to clean house so to speak and get some new blood in, or just start from scratch. anyway you look at it we are heading off a cliff because the driver’s are to drunk with power to notice the emanate doom approaching, so hears what I say we do push them out of the car and take the wheel so we all don’t die the new generations should head the collective future of the human race because the adults are going to destroy everything. Even though one day we will be the adults our selves and find our children, want to lead the future I hope that we would hand them the reins to it instead of them taking it like we will have to.

politics

http://www.thedailyshow.com/

One of my favorite people in the world Jon Stewart he is funnier than hell and preaches a less extreme form of politics for both democrats and republicans I don’t think anything is going to change though because of all the people who appose moderation. I have never been a fan of left or right wing extremists. I have seen both points of view and the one I do not care for in the least is the Republican Party simply because they are not in touch with the people and tend to oppose any kind of change.
if it weren’t for J.W.B.'s paranoia or rather that of the republicans, stem cell research would be much further than it is and we would have cures for diseases people who were paralyzed in car accidents might gain there mobility back. Its people like him who are misinformed and brainwashed by Hollywood films who hold back progress at there own expense and that of others.

a dime a dozen

When I look back on the past few years, I seem to think about only the despicable things like what has hurt me and who has tried to hurt me. All I can say to keep myself going is it will get better and for a time it works and I forget the nastiness in life temporarily of cores. Then life’s little hardships show up again, that is why when I was ten years old I came up with some guidelines or little sayings for life

1. Never look down on others because more than likely they are looking down on you
2. Love is fleeting but lasts when you have it
3. Out of all the rarities in life finding some one who cares is among the hardest things to find
4. You are only mortal so live life, don’t dwell in the past other wise life will pass you bye
5. don’t impose your self on others unless you want drama
6. Trying to teach some one who is stubborn never works out they have to learn the hard way even if they end up killing them selves
7. You don’t know your body as well as you think you do so don’t keep old eating habits you will only get diabetes or die sooner rather than later
8. Options are just that unless they are hard fact so don’t let a disagreement ruin a friend ship or your day
9. Everyone has there own intelligence so no one is stupid just focused on one aspect of life so you might be able to learn something from them
10. Unless you are a doctor don’t act like one because more than likely you are wrong
11. a lot of autism is misdiagnosed because people just want an explanation for things they don’t like in them selves or others
12. ADD is very common just like ADHD so do your self a favor stop buying energy drinks and candy for five year olds they don’t need a pick me up
13. No matter who you are we all have a lot of growing up to do some more than others
14. Some parents are to immature to be respected by there children                                                    
15. Just because you are older dose not mean you are wiser some 5 year olds are wiser than 90 year old adults
