You can't be serious.
Really? Really??
I was with a group of individuals one day when the topic came up.
Apparently I was the only one who didn't completely agree with the show.
Honestly I did not think much of TLC's new hit show "Sister Wives"
I wasn't with it or against it. But after seriously thinking about it I have come to the conclusion that I am definitely, 100% AGAINST it.
Now, I did not think people got any more Liberal then me. I thought I was as Liberal as they come.
Bit apparently some group I associate with disagree. Without going on and on, the main points made were
On my side: Polygamy IS accepted in many parts of the world, and is an excellent form of population reduction when it is 1 wife and several men. Polygamy is part of several cultures and is accepted. In the case of North America legalizing Polygamy, it is much different. Remember that North America is a pot of every culture in the world. It is not just a stretch to hope that everyone is on the same mind set, it is IMPOSSIBLE. In other cultures where the majority of people follow the same traditions and mind sets , something like this is easily dealt with and fine. But In North America, which walks a fine line between trying to give everyone full protection under the constitution, and keeping our countries and protected, we can only go so far.
Believe or not you stupid nits, there is such a thing as too goddamn acceptance. If we accepted polygamy here then it would spark a huge debate and other cultures whos traditions were formally not accepted when they moved here, would demand their traditions too. And lets remember, NOT ALL TRADITIONS ARE GOOD ONES. Sometimes it doesn't matter if its tradition or part of someones culture, BAD, is BAD.
There ARE nut jobs out there that will hide under the charter of human rights and use it to abuse people. Don't believe me? Here are some 'traditions' thats still go on all over the world.
INFANTICIDE. HONOR KILLINGS. STONING. THE SEWING OF WOMENS VAGINAS AND THE CUTTING OF THEIR CLITORIS AS A PASSAGE INTO WOMENHOOD.
At what point do we draw the line?? Are we going to stick our heads in the sand and say "Live and let live" until were over run with child brides and cults??
Thats another thing, these people I was talking to said that Bountiful (Yes, BOUNTIFUL. Remember that little cult that came from the south then wormed their way into Canada and started a cult? No? Weeeellll, two brothers took a few girls up into the mountains and started a religion up there, in the end, there was 30+ women all having sex with these two brothers. This means they were screwing their daughters and getting them pregnant and then screwing their grandchildren! Don't worry, they couldn't hide forever. One brother escaped but the other will never see the light of day again, at least not outside his prison cell.) was completely blown out of porportion, they said "How do we even know they women were being abused? It's so stupid to believe everything the media tells you". I couldn't believe my ears. The only reason the cult was found was because of two women who escaped and told the police. And EXCUSE ME, but I'm not so stupid that i'm not going to believe something just because I wasnt there to witness it. I KNOW rapes happen, I KNOW the Holocaust happened. I don't have to see it to believe it, there is a point at which common sense must be used. I refuse to put people in danger for the sake of being ''more open to other peoples cultures'. Whats worse is when polygamy is being compared to gay marriage and interacial marriage, how people were against that at first. NUH-UH. COMPLETLY DIFFERENT, and I'm not going to waste my time explaining how or why because if you have enough brains to get onto this website, then you surely have enough brains to know why.
If we let polygimists here, it would be result in cults, child brides and put womens rights back 100 years. It would only bring negative and put a market price on women.
That's my opinion, AND I DON'T CARE WHO LIKES IT.

Happy Thanksgiving/ Monday
Fuck. Where do we go when we die, I'd like to know I think.
I don't know what I want, I wanted to experience everything in this world, it's much to do in one life time. I think I just want attention, when I see someone being praised for something or when someone does something cool, I want to do that. But people do things that take a lifetime to achieve. Is it that I just cant stand not being more important then everyone. I need to get over that, I'm only one person, I'm not the center of the world. I am important to people though and that makes me happy :) I can't do everything, but the least I can do is protest my friends and my family, I want to help people. I do want attention, can't help that ;) But when I am famous, it will be because I've done something wonderful, i'll help the whole world.

That new Lady Gaga song is really something, I can't get it out of my head! In a good way ;D

University Reds
One would think this should be a happy time. Yup, I'm Going off to university, not going anywhere great. It's the closest university their is, I havn't moved out or found what makes life so fucking grand yet.
But I was happy to be out of high school, I knew all that bullshit about missing school once it's over was crap! I was reminded much I hated every second in that place whenever I woke and went out to get the paper and watched sullen faced students make their way to school, backpacks and all. Me and my housecoat were happy that I could go back inside and fall asleep if I wanted. So not, I do NOT miss high school.
So why would I choose to do it all again in University? Aha, no reason, I was under the impression that there would be something there to offer. Or maybe cause I would be free from the morons that surround me every day for a few hours a week. Course, I'm getting a cellphone so I'm sure the morons wont hesitate to call me and tell me how wonderful their day is going.
Now, at first. I was excited, for the first bit. Ignoring the dumb comments from my family how schools a waste of time was easy enough to do since I've become a pro at tuning them out anyway. I've successfully raised almost all the money I'd need for school since March working at, well, let's say the place I "work" at was a big factor in contributing to my urge to make it big and be free of ever having to be talked down to by any person in this world again. Where did the excitement go? Honestly, don't ask. It just left. Maybe it was when a would be teacher called me and told me I couldn't take a class because she thought that I had completed a requirement in high school to take it. Which is fine by me, because she offered me a placement test to take. If I could pass her test then i could take the course. Then she laid down the study guide for the test, apparently I was way in over my head. Mom surprised me by encouraging me to take the test anyway and see what happens. Where she got the sudden urge to support me in anything, I don't know! Maybe she had been saving it up my whole life and decided to lay a bit on me then.
Why knows, know cares.
I dunno. Maybe it's the courses themselves. I'm not going for a degree, if I did it would be the business one but I'm missing some math classes in high school. When I was setting up my classes in high school I didn't then wanted to take business. At that time i still wanted to be a massage therapist. And of course my plans changed bu too late, when I discovered I needed math to go into any business class I was already graduated. Now of course I know I could go back and take math again but hey, I'm stubborn, so that will be a goal for future me to deal with, present me just wants to get out of here.
Has the pressure finally gotten to me? Have I succumbed to every word my family's been telling me? But I've been so adament on resenting them and not caring what they think of me, why would they suddenly get to me now..
Here's a great deal! Since I'm out of school my mom can't get child support from the dirt bag who I once called father dearest. Buuut if I'm in school full time then mom can get money out of him still, so me being the horrible ungrateful child I am, will take 3 courses, which counts as full time, so Mom can get her $200 and something a month. Do I even entertain the idea some of it will go towards helping me? Naaah, remember, I'm ungrateful.
Along with discovering the other classes I was going to take needed a previous class, I decided I would need to rethink my classes a bit. So here we have an almost completely changed schedule. 1 class was kept and 3 changed.
The once wonderful school I looked upon with hopefulness and determination while I awaited my final graduation was high school was changed. It doesn't represent freedom for me anymore, it now seams closer to going back into what i thought I had just gotten away from.
Hence my university reds, not blues. I'm not sad, I'm not about to boo-hoo over what may be reality. No, I'm not sad, I feel cheated. Like someone somewhere is laughing at me. Like every goddamn idiot in my family is sitting back with big fat "I told you so" on their stupid smug faces.
Still, I want to hold onto the hope that my saving didn't mean nothing, my hard work will pay off, the harsh words said my the undergraduates around me will be proven wrong. That school will indeed have something to offer me. Maybe I'll meet some new people or come out of school with an entirely new outlook on life.
I don't know yet how hard it will be, if I'll have fun or how many wrong classes I'll walk into, but still. If I don't at least try my best and keep going forward then I'll never have the chance to tell the world who I am.

Bad Horror Movies
BELIEVE IT.
Their out there.
>>>>>>>>>>
Bad, bad movies, crappy plot lines, cheesey characters, sappy or stupid ending
and plot holes so big you could store Pamala Andersluts coligen injections in them.
I've been told im a little bit of a cridict when it comes to movies
i usually give them about a 2/5
2 meaning it wasnt a total and complete waste of my memory space but im happy i didnt pay to watch it. Notice how alot of movies coming out these days going down hill? Fast?
You know them, the movies that have at least 1 tiny bopper brat punk star hollywood one shot wonder danceing around pretending to sing and act? De Ja Vu is becoming rather common when going to the movies these days..
I say, wait for actual good ideas for movies, ones actually worth seeing.
And drop all this crappy filler junk like high school musical
There ARE people out their with ideas, they just havnt been given a chance.
Posibly because Jimmy thinks/hopes that little kids will make their parents take them to the new movie Miley Cyrus (NOT HANNAH MONTANA) is staring in. Conformity. Gross.
So, so far we got hollywood airheads stealing all the glamour from good movies because they think it's what people want. Sure...
Considering more then half the world are women, and asuming that only about 20% are lesbians, that means about half of the world probably hates all these girls jumping around on stage.
Oh right, i forgot they have their own personal fan club of little girls who scratch each others eyes out over the new Jamie-Lynn doll or whatever. I might be jealous, if i wanted little brats to worship me. I dont like kids, their minds are to simple.
Maybe thats why they like these stars?? They both have the same brain span!
wow..im so smart..i even surprise myself..
hmmm..getting a little off topic.
So neway, back to horrors.
One thing you should know about me
Im scared of my own shadow.
So obviously something like THE RING or amityvile horror would give me issues...thanks Dawn.
Oh yeah, Dawn, shes my buddy, she really has a thing for horrors, baaaad horrors.
Have you ever watched number 26?!
Not exactly a horror unless your me, i consider it a horror because i was scared that the movie makers might make more movies like these!!
Let me describe the thrilling plot.
"Hi, im a random movie character, my name is___
hmm..you know whats weird, if i add the month of my sons birthday..which is july
which is the 7th month..and i subtract 2 because thats the first letter in my adress
..and i add howmany fridge stamps their are on the fridge which are 21..that adds up to 26!!
OMG IT"S A CONSPIRACY!! OMG IM BEING HAUNTED!!"
So this guy spends like..an hour of my time finding things that add up the number 26..
..and at the end of the movie, he finds out he's insane, or once was. Duh.
Dawn says im totally wrong about the movie but...ok watch it yourself and leave me a comment on what you thought of it! XD
What's a good horror?
Well their is one, Mirrors.
I give it a full 3.5
maybe even a 4!
Definetly the best horror i've ever seen.
I dont want to ruin the plot for anyone so i'll let you all decide for yourselves! ^-^
Any movies you recomend or not? Leave a comment? :)
Their out there.

FREE.RICE.WEEK -1
Question- Did i send the exact same message to all my contacts on msn and just copy and paste it to my blog?
Answer- Yup! :)
Look up my name on facebook, Savannah Douglas, for more info on FREE.RICE.WEEK
or join the group
hey my people, so i found this site and it seams pretty ligittest your brain skills and play a simple
question game from different catagories.for every question you get right, 10 grains of rice are
donated to people who cant aford it.10 grains of rice doesnt seem like much but it adds up.
i managed 500 grains of rice in playing for 10 minutes500g=5 bowls of riceif someone played
this game for an hour, that would mean (my math isnt the best but im sure this is right)that 30
people would get a bowl of rice each. 1 hour a day means you can feed 30 peopleif you emailed
this to your friends and got them to do this, even if it might only be 3 people, that would mean
120 bowls of rice! (if you played to)And if we did this for just one week, it would mean 840
people would be fed.See how it adds up? 1 right question X 10grains X 10 min X 4 people X 1
hour X 1 week = ALOT of food, for almost no effort on our part. If your one of those people that
spends all day on the comuter anyway, why not spend it doing something that could change a
persons life? I'll be posting this on my facebook account as well as my blog as well as
FREE.RICE.WEEK and when it will start This is the site you can go to for the questions and for
more info www.Freerice.org for a video of the rice being distributed, clicky here*CLICKY CLICKY*http://www.wfp.org/english/?ModuleID=148&Key=193

Writer's Block Right?
yeah right, writers block.
You know what writers block is?
Writers block is when a person has created a story so amazing, so wonderful and inspiring that they cannot find the words to make it better, complete or progress in the story in a way that doesnt make their readers sending a googleplex amount of hate mail because this writer had suposedly ruined their favorite story. This is the type of scene when someone would say, "oh..i have writers block".
A scene when you WOULD NOT use it would be when some lazy ass kid in english (not pointing this at anyone in my english class at this particuler time) complains that the essays are to hard and that they cannot posibly write a 10-0 word page on something. Ok, i see their point. 10-0 word essays on totally easy topics WOULD be hard. For a kid in kindergarden. I have not yet had an essay that i found SO difficult that i could not write 10-0 words about it. And just to prove im not just a big ol' hippocrity, heres an actual difficult topic. Let me think of a real hard one..
Alrighty, why do muscles have black shells?
WELL. Firstly, not all muscles HAVE black shells.
"There are roughly 1,000 distinct species of freshwater mussels worldwide. Close to three hundred of those are found on the North American Continent, the most diverse population in the world. The Mississippi River Basin is home to most of these." I'll get back to you l8er, i started writing this after i finished a business plan in Entrepreneurship, just further proof that writing a 10-0 words IS NOT HARD.
I'll get back to you all l8er ~<3
