Interesting perspectives!

Scared to express her preferencesscared to get hurt doesn't know what she wants I recommend getting her some books on communicating - if she is open minded to them How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk Nonviolent Communication Satisfactions by Pete Gerlach (although it's long) are some suggestions

I didn't find that cute or funny. That mum doesn't know how to mum, he was genuinely upset and she didn't empathise.

Ayahuasca is not a drug, the active ingredient is Native To The Brain and so it coul be as easily viewed as a nutritional suppliment. Studies have shown very clearly that Aya can reduce or eliminate drug and alcohol dependency, including amphetamines and heroine addiction. Some people don't like to ask for help, but as someone who has some reasonable experience with this particular tool I can testify that it helped me learn things I have literally no idea how I could learn in other ways. It has helped me improve my psyche, my relationship with myself and others, improved my self esteem, made me a braver person, and much more eager to embrace life and see it as a good thing and a giift rather than a series of challenges. It is a deeply conservative strain that says "manipulating your state of consciousness is dangerous" you manipulate your state of consciousness when you eat, drink, breath, sleep, watch tv, listen to FDR.

The higher the count the more credible it looks and more likely the resources are to pop up in the side bar for related videos, so thanks! www.youtube.com/theprogressiveparent

An interesting watch, 5 minutes or so:

"Advice/opinion needed. "Trailer trash " type woman, with 2 wee boys, stays nearby. Barely interacts with them except to tell them what not to do "SIT DOWN!", etc. smokes in front of them whilst playing on phone, casually smacks them without looking at them, etc. tells me to mind my business or ignores me when I make suggestions. Advice please? Have seen her 3 times now and I feel very sorry for those children-they will grow up as I did."

Penn Jillette is a well known libertarian, having him on the show could attract a lot of viewers and be an interesting to hear his views.

Hey! Attention! I posted the wrong version of this story!! In the original, Ivan was - ABIGAILS MUM!!! which makes a massive difference, look: Once upon a time there was a woman named Abigail who was in love with a man name Gregory. Gregory lived on the shore of a river. The river which seperated the two lovers was teeming with man eating aligators. Abigail wanted to cross the river to be with Gregory. Unfortunatly, the bridge had been washed out. So she went to ask Sinbad, a riverboat captain, to take her across. He said he would be glad to if she would consent to go to bed with him preceeding the voyage. She promptly refused and went to her mother to exaplin her plight. Mother did not want to get involved at all in the situation. Abigail felt her only alternative now was to except Sinbad's terms. Sinbad filfilled his promis to Abigail and delivered her into the arms of Gregory. When She told Gregory about her amourous escapade in order to cross the river, he cast her aside with distain. Heartsick and dejected Abigail turned to Slug with her tail of woe. Slug feeling compassion for her, sought out Gregory and beat him brutally. Abigail was overjoyed at the sight of Gregory getting his due. As the sun sets on the horizon we hear Abigail laughing at Gregory. Please reassess!!

I came across this at a workshop once, I would love to see your responses and your rationales behind your responses before telling you why I wanted to post it and giving you my thoughts THE ALLIGATOR RIVER STORY Instructions: Please read the following story. After reading the story, rank the five characters in the story in the space provided below it, beginning with the one you consider as most offensive, and ending with the one you consider as least objectionable. Also, briefly note your reasons as to why you ranked them in that order. From LovePrevails: Please don't just rank them, explain why you have ranked them as such There lived a woman named Abigail who was in love with a man named Gregory. Gregory lived on the shore of a river. Abigail lived on the opposite shore of the same river. The river that separated the two lovers was teeming with dangerous alligators. Abigail wanted to cross the river to be with Gregory. Unfortunately, the bridge had been washed out by a heavy flood the previous week. So she went to ask Sinbad, a riverboat captain, to take her across. He said he would be glad to if she would consent to go to bed with him prior to the voyage. She promptly refused and went to a friend named Ivan to explain her plight. Ivan did not want to get involved at all in the situation. Abigail felt her only alternative was to accept Sinbad’s terms. Sinbad fulfilled his promise to Abigail and delivered her into the arms of Gregory. When Abigail told Gregory about her amorous escapade in order to cross the river, Gregory cast her aside with disdain. Heartsick and rejected, Abigail turned to Slug with her tale of woe. Slug, feeling compassion for Abigail, sought out Gregory and beat him brutally. Abigail was overjoyed at the sight of Gregory getting his due. As the sun set on the horizon, people heard Abigail laughing at Gregory.

thanks, make sense

wow what a sad story! I hope you're happier now that you'e got us! xx

one track on here: https://myspace.com/revolutionaryjam looking to do more in the way of putting vocals on other peoples stuff because I love the hiphop tradition of mcs bouncing off one another

Hey I'd love to do a verse on one of your tracks, cross-the-ocean collab?

Hey has anyone read this great sci-fi by Ursula LeGuin which features a stateless society? (although not our kind) The first two chapters are a bit slow but don't let them hold you back, it gets so good! I think it would be great if Stef read this and did an analysis as a podcast, lots to say about these societies, childrearing views, views on the family, etc. there is a conflation of statism and capitalism as in much of the old anarchist literature (the book is now 40 years old!!) but it's still entertaining to see different views and projections of stateless societies Urusla LeGuin's father was a famous anthropologist, and her passion for the subject is seen in a lot of her books because she always vretes very interesting and distinct societies that are culturally rich, sometimes several different ones in the same book! quite an impressive imagination.

can you clarify?

thanks for putting things in perspective I was asking because I was close to it and wanted to make sure I wasn't in the wrong

So are you saying that if someone makes claims about my personality, it is counter-productive for me to be compelled to defend myself? can you explain further No I'm not. You did defend yourself at points, as I mentioned. It was just that that your defense of your posting (picture) wasn't particularly relevant by this point. It was perhaps a triggered emotional defence you may have been experiencing at this point. I guess I'm saying you didn't defend yourself enough. The empirical approach would (I think) have been to say, 'ok, so you are making accusations of me, which is kind of annoying, given you haven't provided much evidence, can you explain where you got this idea from and help me understand where I may be reacting to my history? ok thanks for clarifying with an example. That looks helpful I'll bear it in mind in future.

thanks for taking the time to reply based on one or two previous posts, such as when I was staying at my parents' and my mum woke me at an ungodly hour by screaming at the top of her voice that a light bulb was switched on and I set my status to "Fuck you mum for waking my up at x in the morning... etc." partially to see how my facebook contacts would react so I could do some asshole deletion This just seems all kind of laden with shaming tactics. Not particularly helpful to you, if you were actually doing what she was accusing you of. Let's say if you had been doing something unconscious, then a more gentler approach with getting you to focus on that unconscious part would have been more profitable and indeed charitable way of helping you understand better. In fairness she does later apologise for this, perhaps realising her approach had been a bit harsh, which it was by the way. Unfortunately she doesn't give you any insight into that harshness or even admit to it. Which consciously or unconsciously (from experience) is all kinds of annoying of course. thanks for putting this in perspective for me, yes it is. yes I think it's all along the lines of "you should forgive, forget and move on." So are you saying that if someone makes claims about my personality, it is counter-productive for me to be compelled to defend myself? can you explain further

haha, well thank you for confirming my suspicions. good day.

You did not bring up an opinion on the interview – and on self esteem – on the basis that self esteem is just a personal definition, of course. Yes, fallacious thinking. Alright, thank Joseito, I didn't come here for an argument. No need to be agressive, which i have found your posts to be.
