Coupons with conditions
- BeeZee Mar 22, 2009 07:10 AM
Here's the question: there is a local restaurant which has a decent coupon floating around, buy one get 1/2 off the second or something similar. This is a nicer restaurant and one I wouldn't mind trying. The catch: on the coupon it specifically says "must tell server about coupon before ordering". Cynical self says that is so the kitchen will know you are the cheapskate coupon user and give you the less-than-generous portion.
I think the reason is for your benefit.
The server can make sure the coupon is still valid and mention any any other restrictions. That would prevent a nasty situtation if a customer tried to present an expired coupon at the end of the meal.
Yes, it gives the kitchen the green light to give you 1/2 an entree.
re: monku
Sorry, but I can't see any benefit to having to tell them up front of my coupon. "Mention any other restrictions"? I don't think so. The coupon is a printed contract. They can't just unilaterally modify or invalidate it with further verbal restrictions after the fact. Before using a coupon I read the fine print carefully, expiration date and all. That coupon's verbiage is the sum total of the discount offer. They can't change it by telling me anything they neglected to print on it. Their saying it doesn't make it so.
If it says I must tell server about coupon before ordering, I would avoid that place like the plague. Big red flag. Nothing in my favor can come out of that, i.e. reduced portion. Same for coupons that place onerous conditions such as "Good only on odd-numbered Wednesdays before 6 pm or after 8:45...not good on specials, family-style dinners, buffet night, holidays blah blah". That would turn me off so much, I would never go there coupon or not.
re: Leonardo
I should have said the server could "clarify" any restrictions which might exist on the coupon offer.
The other reason is the server probably needs a manager's key/password to price the 1/2 off discount on the POS register.
I have seen several different situations:
- A code and/or manager override must be entered when ordering for the POS to accept it
- The establishment won't accept it (management change, expiry, left program, or just changed their mind) and wants to avoid trouble later
- You'll get a diminished portion and/or reduced service
- The coupon issuer (e.g., Entertainment) tells you to present it when ordering, but the restaurant doesn't really care (server may say use it when you pay your bill)
While the number of decent local restaurants handing out coupons or participating in coupon programs has diminished in recent years (I wonder what the current recession will do), I have seldom had a problem using a coupon. In one local Greek restaurant, we will use a 1/2 price coupon and be given four more for two people when we leave.
re: embee
I've used some Restauarant.com "gift certificates" recently, and I've mostly encountered the last situation: I proffer it at the time printed on the certificate (in one occasion, it specified to the host/hostess when being seated), and I've been told not to worry about it and give it to the server later. I've also been told it was okay to use it for a single diner, even though the terms and conditions specify minimum party of two, so there's some flexibility sometimes.
The Restaurant.com certificates specifically state in the terms and conditions that the diner should tip on the pre-discount value of the meal (which I would anyway).
The main reason for the "before ordering" is to prevent register problems like having to go back in and void the original transaction which could cause delays because now a manager has to "override" the transaction.
In most cases it is not a "red flag" or an alert to the staff to provide sub-par or less food/service.
Why would it ?? - Most often coupons are intended to draw in new customers in the hope that they will become repeat business. Providing less than normal quality/service defeats this.
Seems like a lot of people are ready to see the worst possible intent behind things.
re: hannaone
I'm with you on this.
About 6 months ago we tried a new local place because we found a coupon in a mailer. We probably never would have tried them had it not been for the coupon because they are a bit out off our normal beaten path. The food and service were excellent, and we're now regulars - with or without coupons.
re: hannaone
I'm with you also, in theory. Because it makes absolutely no sense for a restaurant to lure you in with what looks like a deal, and then serve you a disappointing meal. The restaurant would just lose a potential future customer AND collect less dough on your single visit.
However, a quick perusal of the many "Restaurant Week" threads on the Manhattan board reveals that yep, some restaurants are perfectly ok with offering a promotion that fails to deliver and ends up turning diners against the restaurant. So make of that what you will.
re: small h
Ditto the "'licious" events in Toronto...
re: hannaone
>>>>Seems like a lot of people are ready to see the worst possible intent behind things.<<<<
hannaone, you are so right.
and, your explanation makes the most sense, as you have the professional experience.
When we used coupons from the Entertainment Book that said show first, it meant a set menu. You couldn't order off the regular one. One time we forgot to show the coupon and they wouldn't honor it. We didn't eat their set menu.
I wouldn't like it, either. After my work as a server at a nice restaurant, I learned that most people still don't tip on things not on the bill. No corkage fee? They still tip 15% on the nose, despite the fact that the server took the time to open 3 bottles of their wine. Something is comped because the guest didn't like it? Rarely did I ever notice people tipping on the original amount. So, I would assume that the server is thinking I'm just another person who is gonna tip them on the one entree, not on the pre-coupon amount, and ignore me. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I have little tolerance for bad service.
I have used such coupons and never gave thought to what the restaurant staff might think of me. If the restaurant prints coupons, it's obviously trying to encourage people to dine there. I have never noticed any problems with portion size either. Honestly, I'm just there to eat, not to psychoanalyze the staff or vice versa.
And I always tip on the original amount.
re: cstr
If, upon presenting my coupon, the server had the nerve to give me "info" in the form of an admonishment to tip on the full amount, that would surely mean a hit in the tip. No one instructs me how to tip.
How could the cook know it's a discounted order? Easy. The server rings it up as such and the cook then sees the ticket where the dish is called something different than the normal portion size.
Btw: I always tip based on the pre-discounted amount, same as for a comped item.
re: Leonardo
"If...the server had the nerve to give me 'info' in the form of an admonishment to tip on the full amount..."
Whenever I use a coupon, the servers seem to handwrite the total before discount (with a notation stating such) next to the computerized adjusted total when delivering the check.
While it's obvious why (s)he does this--does this reach the level of an admonishment? Just curious.
re: tubman
I've no problem with them handwriting the total before discount.
It's what cstr said: If the server told me that I must tip on the full amount as in saying "Now remember...because I see you have a coupon...you must tip me 15-20% based on the pre-discounted amount of the bill!" Has anyone ever been warned like that? Does anyone really think that is OK?
re: Leonardo
I'd be horrified if any mention of an expected gratuity ever came out of a server's mouth. But it is worth noting that more and more often, I'm seeing autograts of 18-20% of pre-discounted price included as terms on the coupons themselves, both in Pennysaver-type publications and on restaurant.com.
re: tubman
If it is printed on the coupon and I know it going in, I've no problem with it. I understand that many coupon users are cheapskates, servers get shafted too often, and if they need to protect their servers that's OK with me. What I object to are surprises, when management or server remakes the coupon terms on the spot. Not cool.
When I was 18, the server instructed me on the credit card charge slip how to tip! He pointed to the line and told me "This is where you fill in the tip."
re: Leonardo
Maybe you should have replied "I thought you had to be 21 to tip".
Every restaurant I've worked at needed to know at the time the order was placed so it could be rung up properly. It seems like it would be simple to correct it later, but restaurants seem to have the most a$$backwards systems ever devised. Add getting a manager to put in their code on a busy night and you may have added 20+ minutes to getting your check.
I really don't get the cynicism towards the restaurants motives. They offer coupons to increase their odds of getting new patrons to try them. Staff is aware of the chance to make a good impression and most employees try hard to give excellent service.
I use coupons for meals on occasion and never have a problem with service, quality or portions. I treat people respectfully, as I would like to be treated and they respond in kind.
I present the coupon when it tells me to. If I get bad service or a diminished size entree as a result, I don't go back. I've never had that happen, although one time we decided to use a Entertainment book coupon, got to the restaurant and they had posted a "We no longer honor the Entertainment book coupon" sign on the door, so we got in the car and went somewhere else. They closed shortly after that.
When else would you tell them about it?
If you hand it to them once they give you the check, they have to redo the check--at best an extra trip, at worst a run to find a manager, void and re-enter items on the ticket, etc..
I went to a local restaurant many years ago and gave the coupon at the end of the visit, although I was supposed to do it at the beginning (I didn't notice that on the coupon). The management absolutely refused to honor the coupon, and they wouldn't give a reason other than that I didn't give it to them at the beginning like I was supposed to. They were also pretty unpleasant about it.

1. Letting themselves get out of shape.
If you've ever watched The Biggest Loser and questioned the contestants desire, based on their struggles — you've never been out of shape. You'll find that the rumors are true, and your metabolism moves slower than a snail at the DMV as you get older. If you continue washing down brownies with Mountain Dew and discounting the value of working out, you will pay. I assure you that once you've officially gotten out of shape, it's so much harder to get fit. The mere sight of a treadmill will make you want to run anywhere but on it.
2. Spending substantial amounts of money on farfetched concepts.
Buying several lottery tickets, playing the slot machines and joining pyramid schemes are all poor decisions, with slim chances of making profit. (Heads Up: 99% of well-dressed individuals who approach you with a business proposal/job opportunity just want you to help them build an unprofitable pyramid.)
3. Staying involved in destructive relationships.
In middle school and high school, everyone dated everyone — but your 20s should see stricter standards and principles enforced. There's no sense in being with someone whom you can't picture yourself happily with in the foreseeable future. Don't get me wrong, fixing damaged relationships is great; but trying to glue back a thousand broken pieces while getting cut in the process is unhealthy.
4. Cohabitating with a lover whom you're not married to.
Often couples convince themselves that moving in together is a splendid idea, when that's not always the case. Sure, some live happily together, but it's not for everyone. Be certain that you're not rushing into things. It's not as simple as sharing a shower, owning his and hers robes, and having sex frequently. Many characteristics are revealed, and obnoxious habits are exposed. Living with a significant other too early can be detrimental to the entire relationship.
5. Accepting and embracing drama.
When you graduate high school, the cattiness and immaturity proceed to follow some. We have to refuse to be a part of any high school level shenanigans. Hearsay, gossip, he-said-she-said — all those bastards got a diploma and followed some miserable souls well into their 20s. It's a matter of rejecting the slightest hint of drama, and wisely refusing to speak, act, or feel anything based off of it.
6. Settling for a subpar job that makes you miserable.
Hard work and dedication, no matter who the employer, are admirable traits. If you find yourself performing unhappily at a place, be certain that you're just doing so as a means to get by until you can pursue your personal goals. Every opportunity to take a shot at your dream career should be greeted passionately by you. Too often people forget that the 20s are an ideal decade for trial and error. Test things out, then fail or succeed.
7. Putting excessive amounts of value in attention received on social networks.
Gauging your popularity and significance by the amount of likes your Facebook statuses got. Feeling physically unappealing because your Instagram photo — which you spent an absurd amount of time selecting an effect for — didn't get a satisfying amount of compliments and responses.
8. Being a pushover.
Little things like accepting the wrong drink at Starbucks, or pretending not to notice someone cutting you in line aren't crucial. The issue is the snowball effect that follows. People see that you'll give an inch, so they'll greedily take a mile. In today's world, it's hard to be nice without somebody trying to take advantage of your kindness. Establish firm limitations that people know better than to cross. It might take temporary sternness, but in the long run it'll pay off.
9. Taking pride in being widely considered a b-tch or a d-ck.
Why being loathed (for good reason) has become a fad is beyond me, but it's definitely a thing. It's fantastic to be who you are, but to consciously treat people sh-tty and then brag about having "haters" is just dumb. Nobody is invincible — so continuously pouring gasoline, lighting matches and burning bridges will come back to haunt anyone eventually.
10. Being self-destructive.
Continuing personally damaging conduct, with no intentions of stopping can have a lasting effect on your 20s. Getting arrested, pissing off friends, being irresponsible with finances — these are just a few of the seemingly infinite ways to ruin one's self.
11. Passing on spontaneous adventures and the opportunity to experience new things.
If friends are taking an impromptu trip to a nearby city, pack a small bag and roll with. These little things are what make the decade. Beyond the inside jokes and perspective on classic stories that you'll miss out on, you'll lack good times. If serious responsibility isn't withholding your presence, then nothing else should be. Attend gatherings, give unfamiliarity a chance and build a résumé of awesome memories.
12. Remaining bitter.
If you're still angry with the ex from over five years ago, or badmouthing the company that didn't hire you — do yourself and those around you a favor by stopping. The anger is unhealthy to hold on to, plus it makes you a misery to be around. Bitter passes are typically handed out to the freshly dumped, or recently rejected — but in time you must forgive or forget. Whichever you choose; be firm on it.
13. Making yourself difficult to love.
By being shutdown and over-complicated, you create a seemingly impenetrable shirt, doused in cupid repellant. We all struggle in our own unique, disastrous ways — the key is to fix them. Making yourself available, approachable and open/honest will work wonders for your love life.
14. Being a pessimistic, opinionated hater.
Yeah, that's something we all want to be around in our spare time. Every movie out isn't terrible, every song isn't garbage. This personality type is in for a reality check when eventually nobody wants anything to do with 'em.
15. Spending large chunks of time dreaming about a utopic, perfect world in which everything is just peachy.
Having high hopes and aspirations for the future is a great thing, it's just important to draw the line of frequency somewhere. Picturing a fantasy land in which you own nice things, are surrounded by beautiful people and have Uncle Scrooge sized piles of money isn't going to bring those things to fruition. The dreaming is the easy part, it's the living that requires some heavy lifting and effort.

Tilling by Six Lips
Set in the rather beautiful surroundings of St Nicholas Fields' environmental centre, a perfect choice for this piece, Six Lips 'Tilling' invites us into the greenhouse of one woman, in the recent aftermath of her husband's death. The intimate 30(ish) seat venue provided the team with the perfect backdrop for this deeply personal piece, which felt all the more invasive as the story continued.
Klimaszewska's script is one that pays great attention to detail, demonstrating that she has a remarkable ear for dialogue. The conversations face to face and over the phone seem to have come so naturally that almost every moment seemed to resonate in some way, shape or form with the spectators. Wallace has also paid time and attention in directing the cast of three, in order to do justice to the delicate writing. The realisation of Martha's character, played by Lindsay Smith, was brought out so naturally, and out of the three, Smith was the one who I felt showed the most consistency in performance. Unfortunately for the characters of Helen and Judy, played by Katy Divine and Janice Barnes Newton, the performances weren't as up to scratch. Divine, at times, seemed a little self-aware, and generally some of the acting felt forced. This isn't to say that they were without their strengths. Divine's monologue in the second half was delivered wonderfully, without any inhibition whatsoever. That being said, whilst the monologue in isolation was great, it was out of place for the rest of the script, as it was without any previous build-up. The character unloaded her bottled-up torment on the mother, confessing her anger at the mother's moping when she (the daughter) had allegedly been trying to help anyway she can...oddly, the reality was that she spent a large chunk of the first act eating grapes, and putting forward a case to get tropical fish. Again the problem wasn't those moments, as they were enjoyable to watch, but put together it felt like we'd missed something fairly crucial.
One thing that frustrated me, was the time frame of the play, as there were no costume changes, despite it covering more than 24 hours - this was more noticeable, though less excusable through the character of the neighbour, Judy. it just seemed a little clumsy, given the finer details in the rest of the piece. Also, whilst I liked the brief interaction with the audience just before the interval, I didn't see that need as it was a convention only used at that moment. With regards to pace, the opening was a little slow, but I can't deny that I was engaged throughout. I couldn't help but watch every movement closely, reading between the lines and absorbing every pause. The second half however, was much faster and came to an abrupt ending, feeling somewhat anti-climactic, and leaving us with a sense of it being unfinished. More balance between the two halves would have been preferable.
Still, Tilling is a lovely, subtle, realistic portrayal of coping with grief, parenting children, and dealing with people in difficult circumstances. Its definitely worth a watch, and shows great promise for Klimaszewska as a writer, and Six Lips as a company.

Oh, I forgot to talk about the Haunt thing. Could have sworn it was in a different comment. Oh well, here we go.
True, you cannot constantly keep Haunt rolling on two targets at the same time. There is, however, a small window of time, approximately 3 seconds, where you can have it on two targets at once. 3 seconds may not seem like a lot, but it's actually nearly half the cooldown, and it's a pretty big deal.
Actually, now that I think about it, the timing could be a little bit longer than 3 seconds. Theoretically, 3 seconds is likely close to the limit that you could get given an 8 second cooldown, 12 second duration, and then a cast time of at least 1.5 seconds but reduced by haste. Haunt does, however, have a fractional travel time, so based upon distance it can take up to 1.5 or so seconds to reach a target at max range.
Assuming that one target is at max range and one target is in short range -- such as V&T -- you'd actually be able to have a time frame of around 5 seconds where Haunt is on both targets. Of course this would be off-set in the next portion of the rotation, but it's a point.

It's pretty much come down to club tracking and stats with my GPS. I play the same courses all the time so unless I really mishit something the club selection doesn't change much. I can pretty much eyeball it using the 150 marker. Inside the 150 anything goes and lie is the biggest factor. I thought it would be a game changer but I find myself using it less and less.

Most of the GPS's require a annual fee to download new courses and update existing ones. Callaway does not charge an annual fee for their basic courses which provides you most of what you need to know (distance to hazards and green).
Rangefinders are great in that they work on all courses and don't require you to download any courses or pay any fees, downside is that instead of the information sitting there in front of you, you have to actively use it from each location and they can something be difficult to use, especially if you don't have steady hands.
If you don't need exact distances, GPS is easiest and fastest to use. If you want to know your exact yardage to the flag, nothing beats a rangefinder.

There are no fees at all with Garmin, ever. All of the features, all updates, everything is included in the purchase price.
Thanks for correcting me, for some reason I thought they did charge fees for updates. I know they charge or used to charge for updates on their mobile GPS for cars, so maybe that's why I thought they did for golf too. I know SkyCaddie charges an annual fee but did some research on Golf Buddy and they don't appear to charge an annual fee either.

I have the Garmin G6 and love it. I also have a lazer rangefinder but find I use the GPS more often, it is just easier. The G6, like most GPS, also has the electronic score card. Allows you to keep you stats etc. has more functions then I will ever use I know that. One problem is if you are playing with guys who don't have a GPS they are always asking you for the yardage. Wish they would invest in their own GPS.

Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairman Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said that increasing the power of unions is key to addressing income inequality in America.
"We need a comprehensive plan, but let's start with increasing the right to collective bargaining," Ellison said on MSNBC. "We've got to get workers on the job in a position to demand that the wealth that they create be shared by the company. That's a key thing. If you look at how wages has stagnated in the United States and you look at how union did something that has gone down, the lines track right together. You got to get power in the hands of the workers. That's key."
As I went from event to event Monday celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King, I was struck by both the tribute and the distortion. The tribute is remarkable. Martin Luther King held no public office. He amassed no great fortune. He led no victorious armies
One day after a top Obama administration official deflected a congressman's call for executive action to raise labor standards for contractors, activists Wednesday announced the filing of a new Department of Labor complaint over alleged wage theft in a government building. The complaint alleges that dozens of workers in D.C.'s government-owned Union Station are owed over $3 million in back pay and damages for rampant failure to pay minimum wage or overtime.
It is that time to pause and think about the incredible life and contributions of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., oftentimes referred to as MLK. He was named Michael King Jr. after his father who later changed both their names to Martin Luther, in honor of the religious reformer.
After drawing thousands of protesters to the state legislature and inspiring the arrests of more than 900 people for nonviolent civil disobedience, North Carolina's Moral Monday movement challenging the extreme conservative agenda of the state's Republican-controlled legislature and administration is gearing up for more actions in 2014.
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern says the "War on Poverty" has shifted from helping the poor to fighting them.
McGovern, a Democrat who represents the 2nd district, spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday about hunger in America and potential cuts to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) in the proposed Farm Bill.
Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson, lamenting that too many Americans "live on the outskirts of hope," declared an "unconditional war on poverty in America." This will not be "a short or easy struggle," he stated in his State of the Union address to the Congress, "no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we will not rest until that war is won. The richest nation on earth can afford to win it. We cannot afford to lose it."
At the Future of America Learning Center in the West Bronx, the pre-K curriculum is built around adult jobs—visiting real workplaces and then learning about the vocabulary and skills that grown-ups use every day.
Back in the days before modern feminism, a young woman looking for work might typically be advised, politely, to "learn a trade," with the implication that she wasn't bound for college or an elite career, but a humbler job as, say, a secretary or seamstress. Such a phrase might sound condescending today. Yet working in a trade might still be sound career goal for a woman, if she gets the right kind of job—in a union.
This Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, tens of millions of Americans will travel to Walmart stores to look for holiday discounts on computers, toys, and cell phones as well as to buy groceries and basic household items.

"We ought to be going after the bad guys"
July 21, 2010 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
Last week, a letter was released to Utah media, law enforcement, and legislators by "Concerned Citizens of the United States." Attached to the letter was a list of 1,300 names of individuals who the authors "believed" were "illegal immigrants." It was more than just names that were released. Also included on the list were addresses, Social Security Numbers, birth dates, the names of children, and the due dates of women who were pregnant.
Someone took it upon themselves to release the private information of people they judged to be in the country illegally. The people on the list—here legally or not, citizen or not—now have to worry that it is open season on them for identity thieves or worse. Release of the list is a chilling development in an immigration debate increasingly marked by hysterical rhetoric and violent xenophobia.
While Congress seems content to allow the problem to fester, the State of Utah acted swiftly. On July 16, Utah's Republican Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, announced that there would be an "aggressive investigation" into the release of the list, and the persons responsible would face state charges and likely would face federal charges as well. The Utah AG is working with the U.S. Attorney's office. On July 20, the Utah Governor's office issued a release announcing that the investigation into the matter was complete. Two employees of the Utah Department of Workforce Services have received "intent to terminate" notices from the state, and information from the investigation has been turned over to the Attorney General's office.
In the press conference, Mr. Shurtleff sought to assure people that the state government was not going to use the list to round people up.
"People call it a black list. I see it more as a hit list, more reminiscent of what happened in Nazi Germany. … I understand the threat is real and I just hope people take comfort in knowing that that's not how we do things and that the State of Utah itself is not going to be using this list in order to start knocking on doors and rounding up people."
In his view, enforcement should focus on dangerous criminals.
"Enforcement-only… we think is counter-productive, harmful ultimately to public safety and to our efforts … and it's very important to understand that the people whose names may be on this list in the immigrant community—legal and illegal or documented and undocumented—are important to us as confidential informants all working together because we are all being victimized by the bad guys, and that's who we ought to be going after, and any effort to try and turn the people against and put the government against everybody who is in this country really harms that effort to try and root out those who are the danger…."
(You can listen to a recording of the press conference, which also featured John Wester, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, Paul Mero, of the conservative Sutherland Institute, Luz Robles of the Utah State Senate, and Clarissa Martinez, of the National Council of La Raza, by going to this page of our Web site.)
The Utah response to this incident is in sharp contrast to Arizona, where SB 1070, if it is not blocked by the courts, goes into effect next week. That law will have police "going against everybody." Instead of going after the bad guys, Arizona police will be overwhelmed by the law's directive to arrest persons who they believe might be in the country illegally and the subsequent paperwork.
In terms of public safety, the effects of SB 1070 can be previewed in new research by America's Voice. In the state of Arizona, violent crime rates have been going down throughout the state—except in areas policed by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Under the leadership of Joe Arpaio, that office has made it a priority to go after otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants.
"From 2002 to 2009, while the violent crime rate across the state as a whole decreased by 12 percent, the area policed by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office suffered a 58 percent increase in violent crime. Compare that 58 percent crime increase to other law enforcement agencies in Maricopa County who engaged in community policing, not targeting immigrants. In that same time period, Phoenix enjoyed a 14 percent decrease; Tempe, a 26 percent decrease; and Mesa, a 31 percent decrease."
Sheriff Arpaio has made the decision not to focus on "the bad guys," and public safety in Maricopa County is suffering.
At the national level, we are unfortunately getting a little of the taste of Arpaio's failures in Arizona. On July 15, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) released one of their quarterly reports showing that criminal prosecutions of immigration violators have reached the peak levels of the Bush Administration. In other reports, TRAC has noted that immigration prosecutions now make up more than 50% of all federal prosecutions, and the most common prosecution is for illegal entry. Federal prosecution of other, more serious, crimes is declining.
The continued escalation in the prosecution of immigration violators by this Administration may soon be reflected in the crime statistics, as it has in Maricopa County, Arizona. Communities along the border and elsewhere will see their violent crime rates go up, they will be less safe, and their jails will be filled with people who came here to find work.

I do not find this Beauty and the Beast Paradody funny. It's one big singing stereotype.
That's the point. It's self-referential humor.
I applaud the people involved for being able to poke fun at themselves, and understand that at the end of the day, it was just a bunch of people having fun and putting together something neat.
The video was arranged by black people, and the girl playing Belle was the only white person involved as far as I can tell. While it is making fun of black stereotypes, it's not doing so in a malicious way at all. It's implicitly worse that the N-word has become a common part of everyday language for many black people; if that's not a bad thing, then I don't see why jokingly mocking cultural stereotypes is.
@crazyfilledmind keep in mind that if this was so begrudgingly offensive, I don't think that the blacks in this would've done this. On top of that, the parody was created by a black person. Please do your research please C:
African Americans/African/Those of African Descent are often involved in projects/movies/film/media that negativily paints a stereotype of their race. It's how we (african americans,etc.) became involved in Hollywood in the first place. People have to make money and put food on the table and some will do anything to get there.
Now I did not know it was created by a black person. However, that does not make it less offensive in my eyes. But again this is my opinion, which I am free to state.
Thanks for letting me know to do my research beforehand but I would suggest the same thing to you. How do you think PoC got involved in Hollywood/movies in the USA in the first place? And believe me, it was not by portraying their cultures in a positive light.
You said you were stalking my blog?
One of my followers who's never met me in person actually cares about my posts?!
Chile, bless your heart. ; ~;
I was TOTALLY stalking! Especially when I found the tag with my url. teehee~
I regret nothing. by the way.
kieradoe replied to your post: College Boys and Men in general are assholes (not all of you guys but a large majority)^ I firmly believe what uncdan said, but everyone here thinks I'm being too stuck-up about my taste in guys. College guys suck for the most part. Well, more…
I'd be fibbing if I said I didn't have a "type", but I can't exactly pin-point it. I'm more of a "I know it when I see it" kind of girl, but the only thing that comes to mind in terms of a "type" is manly/masculine. Other than that, I'll know when I see it!
And "here" actually means "here", in Connecticut. On my campus and in my hometown. People can actually relate to me here on Tumblr, bahaha. But yeah! Same situation here with my friends! All of them think I'm either over-exaggerating or being a stuck-up bitch when I say it's hard to find good guys in college, and I get that same line that I should leap at every guy that comes along instead of being picky.
Rant time since we welcome rants here: Why the fuck shouldn't I have that right to pick and choose who I should get involved with? I will not leap at every man's feet like I'm thirsty, because I'm not, and not every man is into me for me. From experience actually, every guy that's ever shown interest has owned up to just wanting sex, and then threw a fit and started ignoring me and treating me like crap after I wouldn't give it to them. Those particular guys, some were attractive, but they were overall childish fucking douchebags. I can't speak for anyone else but I certainly don't deserve that treatment, so why the fuck am I not allowed to be "picky"?
We have every right to be, I think. Big girls who know what they want need love too, and so do twigs who are still trying to figure everything out!
LIKE I SAID THOUGH, I have a list of places I wanna travel! Can we talk over it and kinda combine our destinations together and just be flighty black women who love the world? :D
I hate that I just found this post from stalking through your blog. I apologize for a lateass response.
Agree 100%. We, as women, have the right to be picky. It's our bodies, minds and souls that go into a relationship and some of us don't want to give all of that to some random idiot who doesn't deserve it.
It is hard to find a guy in college. College is the perfect place for people to fuck with no strings attached. Which is what most men and some women are doing. Which is perfectly fine. But normally the phase of fucking random strangers fades after sophomore year and then people are ready to be in relationships. Not always but most of the time. And for those of us who moved on from the college guys were were fucking with no strings attached for two years, we truly don't have time for college guys when it comes down to it.
I vow that we both stick to our values and continue to be picky!!1
kieradoe replied to your post: I have no idea if the two notes I wrote to that "college guys" post came out. I think because I reblogged it as well, but anywho… did you get them, sweetie?
Can we go to Trinidad and Tobago!? Or Hawaii!??!?! CULTURE AND NEW FACES, YEAH~
YES! Hawaii then Trinidad and Tobago and then Vanuatu!!!
kieradoe replied to your post: College Boys and Men in general are assholes (not all of you guys but a large majority)
^ I firmly believe what uncdan said, but everyone here thinks I'm being too stuck-up about my taste in guys. College guys suck for the most part. Well, more room for gettin' stuff done, like you said! Can I travel with you? :P
What exactly is your taste in guys if I may inquire?
I get the same problem in real life (I'm assuming here means Tumblr) because I guess because I'm a big girl I should settle for any guy and that's not what I want. I may have high standards but they aren't superficial ones. Like it doesn't matter where the guy works or if he has a car or he's rolling in dough. It just matters if he has a personality and can have a conversation which is a hard combo to come by these days.
People think my standards are too high for a big girl but I tell them to fuck off.
Excuse my rant. :)
College boys are useless these days.
uncdan replied to your post: College Boys and Men in general are assholes (not all of you guys but a large majority)
Hear hear. Also, believe me, travel increases the pool from whom to find better partners. Spoken from experience.
Oh I honestly believe you on that! Traveling will expose me to more people not just for dating ;D but also for new opinions and experiences.
uncdan replied to your post: I don't like it when guys play games with my emotions.
Yeah, we guys don't like it when girls do the same…
i feel as if guys do it more. Guys play more games with girls because that's how they hide their feelings…in my opinion. Do you disagree?
This past saturday was my area's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. In the past, this holiday falls on a work/school day so not many people show up. But it landed on a saturday this year which means everyone and their mom came out for the parade. Not to mention it was seventy degrees outside. Now…
Are you fucking serious? Immature, unfair, racist, rude-as-hell, ratchet, mean-spirited, white privilege, deplorable, I just…no. I fucking cannot, I ain't got no words for this.
But if I were you, momma present or not, I'd surely tell them to have some seats and enjoy "their" parade from there. "Block my view", my ass, man. The fuckery of the people in this world, ಠ_ಠ.
What's worse is, my mom prolly wouldn't want anything to do with this and tell me and herself that it's "not our business" and that I should keep my mouth shut.
"The fuckery of the people in this world" I love this! That's how I felt as it was happening. People are full of shit these days, especially those who are suppose to be considered mature. I actually did shout and tell the "adults" that they were yelling at children and to leave the children alone but they ignored me. My mom was a little pissed during it too. This one couple next to us also thought it was stupid (they were white) and my mom told the woman, "ignorance like this shows you that these people haven't traveled anywhere or experience anything." The couple agreed with us which angered the family in front of us who glared at my mom as she laughed. After that, my mom started calming me down.
Certain things become everyone's "business" especially when it pertain to discrimination.

1) we gotta find out how to be in one of their videos!!! so we can be the western girls :D
3) i shall but i still feel like it was chicago…dont know why.
spazzy-peanut replied to your post: Finally saw the "Bad Boy" video by Big Bang.
1) no idea. i also do not approve, although one of them had really cool shoes 2) i know!! especially taeyang XDD 3) this was filmed in NYC baby!
1) no approval for the western girls!!! 2) all of them; normally just taeyang and gd dance really well but all of them did a good job. however, i feel as if their dance move was borrowed from somewhere. 3)it feels as if was filmed in chicago because of the metal subway above their head.
kieradoe replied to your post: I'm happy that Big Bang is back but they could have done better with their title track.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea how glad I am that you said this, 'cos I thought I was the only one; the song's incredibly flat and dull, and the best parts for me were whenever Daesung sang, tbqh. :/
for the oddest reason, i knew I wasnt the only one so that's why I had to state it so i could find like minded people. yeah the song is flat and just not fun. Big Bang is suppose to be like a big banging party not all these sad songs. Daesung in general just look good in the video.
spazzy-peanut replied to your post: K-poppers are flipping out over the little bit of skin TOP is showing in the new photo…
exactly! what skin!?!
thank you!!!!! He has shown his arms a million and one times. However, the day he shows his bare chest will be the day fangirls die from ovary explosion. And possible nosebleeds….
spazzy-peanut answered your question: Got a question for people in the Tumblrverse
i dont think thats too bad. if the age difference is bigger, thats where i find the issue. it would be hard to find things to relate to
Tank you for your opinion M.I.A~
The bigger the gap, the less to talk about…..
Bring it on.
Going through the same thing, honey, just cuz I said I don't like Hyuna. Honestly, give me a fucking break, opinions are opinions.
THANK YOU! But K-pop fans, especially international ones, get so offended about k-pop groups the second someone states a negative opinion. It's okay to not like Hyuna because I'm not a big CL fan but i still like 2ne1.
Thank you but I do. It was catchy yes but was promoted with the title, "featuring B2St's Kikwang". That's how it spread so quickly. It's called using someone famous to help another become famous. It's how most artists get famous. Not just talent. But thank you for gladly stating you opinion and laughing. But here's what I have to say to you….
Keep trying to insult me. it's humorous haha.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Via NESN:
The Lakers have been nothing short of utterly disappointing this season, and that means everyone around the NBA is going to take their shots at them.
After all, the Lakers did go out and acquire Steve Nash and the whiny master of missed free throws, Dwight Howard, in the offseason to team them with an aging and increasingly bitter Kobe Bryant. The Lakers were supposed to be world beaters. Instead, well...
Rockets radio play-by-play guy Craig Ackerman summed up the Lakers' recent play in blunt fashion after the Lakers lost (again) on Tuesday night, this time in Houston. Howard missed a bunch of free throws down the stretch, and the now 8-10 Lakers blew a 10-point lead to the Rockets. Ackerman saw his chance to pile on – referencing Kobe's recent public plea for teammate Pau Gasol to "put your big-boy pants on" -- and oh, did he pile on.
Nash involved in tense custody battle
Steve Nash's breakup has been a bit of a sideshow so far, and the injured Laker's point guard's latest action against his ex will only add to that.

"On July 3, Seventeen magazine's editor in chief, Ann Shoket, announced that the publication had written up a Body Peace Treaty, signed by the whole staff, which pledged to "never change girls' body or face shapes" and use images of "real girls and models who are healthy."
"The American Medical Association and the National Eating Disorders Association, among other organizations, say that unrealistic images propagated by the media can trigger body image and self-esteem issues and contribute to eating disorders. Over the last year, the fashion industry has been under pressure to limit airbrushing and avoid using too-skinny models. In February, Glamour promised not put its models or featured celebs on a "digital diet" and the following month, Vogue said they would ban underweight models."
"In response to her win, Bluhm wrote on her petition page, "Seventeen listened! They're saying they won't use photoshop to digitally alter their models! This is a huge victory, and I'm so unbelievably happy." Now, she is supporting a new effort by two other young activists, Carina Cruz and Emma Stydahar, to end photo retouching at another girls magazine. Look out, Teen Vogue."

^ This is incredible news! It also gives me hope for when I have children someday :)
My breakfast this morning
Green tea infused with honey (I am trying to ween myself off of coffee)
1 egg with ground pepper on top
1 piece of ezekiel bread, toasted, cut in half, thin layer of organic peanut butter
1/3 cup of Fage 0% plain yogurt. I diced fresh fruit and mixed it in which gave it flavor. 2 strawberries, 2 blueberries, a child's handful of black caps lol, and a few chunks of pineapple. Pineapple being the only fruit I had to buy from the store (:
If you haven't worked out today - GO WORK OUT! RIGHT NOW!!! :D
Even if it's not a "workout" even if it's doing crazy dance moves or cleaning your bedroom as fast as you can or 100 jumping jacks. Or maybe a pop pilates video or a bodyrock or a tone it up! Just DO IT! Set your timer for 5 minutes, step away from your comp and do something active!
I went to bed at 3AM, woke up at 9AM, felt like a dead possum on the side of the road ALL DAY LONG, despite the amount of coffee I consumed, and now I am literally bouncing off of the walls!
Speaking of bouncing off of the walls, have any of you ever tried running up the wall and doing a backflip and then landing on your feet? Can anyone do that??? Seriously, I have been wanting that skill ever since my friend showed me in the 8th grade. I need to start training for that because I would feel like the biggest bad ass.
ANYWAY. At the moment I am running all over the room practicing my weirdest dance moves to Rihanna radio on Pandora. OMG I SWEAR - "Idiot friends" by Sponge bob JUST came on my pandora station!!!!! WTF!!!! Hahahahahahah
I also challenged my puppy to a race, which I highly suggest! She is an extremely tough competitor and it is WAY more fun than any HIIT running workout I have tried ;)
If you haven't worked out today GO WORK OUT! Right now! I mean it!
I swear it was all of the squats and deadlifts I did ;)
You will feel AMAZING afterwards! :D

What are the challenges that gifted and creative individuals face at present?
Hi everyone! I am working on a research about the gifted and creative individuals. I'd like to know what are the challenges that the gifted and creative people experience in your country. Share your thoughts please :) Thanks!

Feb 18 2013: I focus my creativity on business, so the biggest challenge for myself and others like me is funding.
Business property is horrendously expensive and often comes with a locked in multi-year lease, so even if you manage to get initial funding, its not like you can just close things down and start up again if things don't work out in ideas 1 and 2, for example.
You have to be sure that its going to work AND be financially successful even before you've opened it (which is a nightmare when it comes to new and unusual ideas) and that greatly restricts creativity.

The outpouring of support for a Copiah County family continues this week, after four relatives were killed in a traffic accident.
You may recall, Joan Teasley, 67, Gavin Tompkins, 6, Gunner Tompkins, 3, and 15 month-old MaKenna Bass were killed in a Wednesday morning traffic accident in Crystal Springs.
WLBT has learned a benefit concert will be held Friday night at Railroad Park in Crystal Springs.
Local band Soulshot is scheduled to perform.
The show kicks off at 7 p.m. All proceeds will go to the victim's family.
Teasley was the children's great-grandmother.
Her 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt collided with an 18-wheeler at the intersection of Highway 27 and Lee Drive, according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol.

XDA member lyriquidperfection's Touch Tools 2.0 Suite is a staple piece of software for HD2 owners as it contains almost everything you need to make your device as user-friendly as can be.
Included in the package are:
The application has recently been updated with new bug fixes and features such as a revised user interface, faster loading and two-way in-call recording. You can find the Touch Tools package in the project's thread.

The release of much press-coverage of the imminent Windows Phone 7 operating system has spawned many look-a-like themes and applications, which allow older devices to imitate the look and feel of the new software to please their tech-hungry owners.
One of the more popular of these modifications was WP7UI by XDA member ashiqiqbal. Recently, the project has been terminated and reborn as 'the Host' – ashiqiqbal's new WP7-like home screen replacement.
'The Host goes one step further than WP7UI ever did, by offering additional customisation tools to its users. For instance, animated tiles are now available as well as finger-swipe navigation and support for landscape mode.
'The Host' is a standalone application and, unusally for such a release, is compatible with almost all resolutions found on Windows Mobile devices. If you would like to add a little bit of WP7 to your device, simply download the .cab from the application thread.

Many owners of Windows Mobile devices have bemoaned the official Facebook application provided by the Marketplace and hoped for an alternative other than using the basic and finger-unfriendly mobile web version.
Despite being the second most-visited website in the world, Facebook applications for Windows phones have been notoriously slow and buggy, with many iterations not even allowing users to send video clips or complete messages to one another through the service.
This has led XDA members Sopis, joe_coolish and Fredz to develop a rivalling Facebook client. Since building up support for the project, the trio have worked hard at providing another option for those who would like to keep up with their friends will on the move.
Currently up to version 3.0 beta, the app focuses on being faster and user-friendlier than the one by Facebook themselves. You can install the application on your device by downloading the .cab file from the project thread.

Microsoft have always tried to establish a separation between non-touchscreen Smartphones and touchscreen PocketPCs. By doing so, they have allowed themselves to also segregate the two groups' software and to give that of each different features. Smartphones were branded separately to PocketPCs when they first arrived – they were more suited for communication, and were more like a cross between a PocketPC and a traditional feature phone. The PocketPC was capable of more due to its more advanced hardware and higher popularity and was seen as a phone for the business environment.
As a result of this rift between the two lines of products, their operating systems are quite contrasting. While PocketPC owners regularly received the newest builds straight from Microsoft, which include the most recent additions and fixes, Smartphone owners were always somewhat left behind.
This is particularly obvious in the case of Windows Mobile 6.5: Microsoft have marketed the Smartphone version of the OS as 'Standard' and the PocketPC as 'Professional'. However, in many cases the internal hardware of the Smartphones are up to scratch with the requirements of the Professional version of WM6.5, with only their lack of a touchscreen holding them back.
To highlight this, XDA member tj_style has managed to get one of the more recent builds of the popular Windows Mobile 6.5.3 operational on a non-touchscreen Samsung GT-6625. Although developmentally young, the project is very interesting and a downloadable ROM should hopefully be made available to the XDA community soon.
Included in the port of WM6.5.3 are the instantly recognisable buttons-at-bottom layout and the Titanium home screen interface (a cursor is used) along with other improvements Microsoft have made. In porting this previously exclusive operating system to a Smartphone, tj_style opens the door to a vast number of possibilites for non-touchscreen chefs. To find out more about this project (and to view an evidential video of the port at work), take a look at this thread.

Are you into flashing ROM´s frequently? Then you will agree that creating shortcuts to your favourite programs or applications should an be easier or automated task for every time you flash a new ROM. XDA member dubidu took care of this and created CplLinks. This application goes through the registry key which holds the settings items and creates a .lnk file for each of the entries. Once installed, there are no messages, it only runs and creates the links.
The developer's app only takes 11.5 kb and must be installed on main memory.

[APP] Control Panel Settings to Links (.lnk)
Hi guys,
I know it's a 10 seconds job to create a link for items inside the control panel (settings) such as "Usb to PC" or "Power" but I'm too lazy to do it every time I try a new rom,
also I found some of the values change from rom to rom, so I create a really simple app that goes through the registry key which holds the settings items (KLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start) and creates a .lnk file for each of these entries.
Having a direct link allows me to add that option as a quick link which is handy 8)
Anyway, here is the tool in case someone wants it.
The exe must be installed in "\Program Files\CplLinks" (Device). It only takes 11.5 kb. The only reason the .exe is needed after the lnk are created is to provide an icon.
When you run it, it reads the HKEY mention above and creates .lnk for each item in the "Settings" menu. The lnks are created in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CplLinks" so are directly accessible through the Programs menu.
There are no messages, it runs and creates the links, no interaction whatsoever so do not expect any nice popup window 8)
Next version will use specific icons for each item, right now, all the links use the same icon from the cpllink.exe executable.
The icons for most of the Settings are .png files rather than .ico, and WM doesn't have an easy way to convert from .png into .ico, the idea for a "future version" is to collect all the .png files,converted to icons and create a dll on the fly with the icons as resources, so they can be referenced from the .lnk files
Couple of screen shots from the emulator.
You can find more information in the application thread.

Well-finished icons can bring a finishing touch to a well-themed device, but it's often hard to find a corresponding icon for a relatively unknown application.
Created by XDA member poksh, IconHelper is a building tool that replaces and generates icons for your favourite shortcuts.
The application, which is available both in English and Russian, allows you to apply effects such as transparency and reflection to a start-menu icon simply by holding your finger down on the icon you want to change.
IconHelper is currently only at version 0.14 as its initial release was only a few days ago, but the developer has some interesting features planned for the application's future. If you would like to try the app out, it is available in the original thread.

Due to being some of the most-read books in the world, applications that allow you to read religious texts on your mobile phone are becoming increasingly popular. One of the most recent electronic conversions is Quran for WM by XDA member kopraljono, which grants the user access to the Islamic Holy book while on the move.
The developer promises the application to be finger-friendly (it is designed for use on large touch screen devices) with support for several languages. There are also search and zoom features, along with night mode when you don't want to disturb others. Quran for WM will even read out verses for you to listen to.
The final addition to the application is a special mode intended to help you to memorise the texts yourself.
If you are interested in using the program, you can find it in the application thread.

Profile Switch was recently launched by XDA member rlmouse as an application designed to change the status of multiple settings such as WiFi, Bluetooth, volume, and data at just the press of one button. In addition, it can program the phone to change profiles automatically at certain times of the day.
Since its initial release, the developer has been constantly updating the application with new features. Recently, Profile Switch was updated to version 1.7, with the capability to add separate icons to the start menu for each profile and to select the roaming status of the phone while changing a profile introduced along with fixes for numerous bugs and errors.
Try Profile Switch out for yourself by downloading it from the app thread.

One of the main perks of owning a Windows Mobile device is the relationship between it and your Windows-running computer. By taking advantage of the interconnectivity between the two, you can put the phone to good use even when you have something larger to work with.
BigMani's Remote Control App for Windows Mobile is one of numerous good examples of this. The application, which is available in English and German, uses a WLAN or an ActiveSync connection to allow you to control various functions on your PC through your Windows Phone.
Included is the ability to control media players (including VLC), mice, keyboards, presentation software and Windows Media Center.
The application should work on all WVGA-resolution Windows Mobile devices provided that they are running Windows Mobile 6.0+ and .NET Compact Framework version 3.5. You can find the download link in the application thread.

Since expanding his ROM kitchen to cater for other devices, XDA moderator NRGZ28's releases have become some of the most highly anticipated in the Windows Mobile forums. His trademark blue-grey colour scheme has inspired icon sets, wallpapers, and many other modifications alike but more recently, XDA member doug3673's take on HTC's 'YOU' advertising campaign (for the purpose of creating an alternative boot animation) has incorporated screenshot's from NRGZ28's more recent ROMs.
The four-second long animation uses the familiar 'YOU' graphic seen on many billboards that advertise HTC phones within the last few months. The HTC Touch Pro2 is the device featured on the animation.
You can try the boot animation out by downloading and installing the .cab found in the project's thread.

Many icon sets can seem similar and unremarkable due to the stereotypical smooth corners and muted colours. However, XDA member minuted74's Dev-Fam icon set is designed to look a bit different.
With a breaking-out look and clear, bright graphics, the Dev-Fam set can give a very different look to any start menu. Also included are switch buttons (including controls for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and vibrate mode among others) for use with the quick-links area in Co0kie's Home Tab.
In addition, minuted74 has also skinned the popular EndKey replacement application in the same style.
The icons can be found in the developer's original thread in the HD2 forums.

XDA member brandi's first application on the site, the Deutsche Bahn App, has become very popular due to its effectiveness when updating the user with the latest information on the German transport system. Being in a similar line, the latest from the developer should prove to be just as useful.
The trafficMate application is a tool which downloads and displays the latest traffic data for major German roads. Although still very early in its development cycle (version 0.1 has just been released), reports by users of the alpha-stage application have been positive.
If you live in Germany and constantly find yourself frustrated by unpredictable traffic jams on the way to work, you might want to give the application a try. The download and feedback are in the application thread.

blog visits
I'm feeling more than a bit anxious because tomorrow Thomas over at Sunday Best is going to post a piece he asked me to write as part of a series on men's fashion magazines. Every week or so, he's been writing a review of a different magazine and he's been following them up with guest posts. I'm not sure why he decided I'd have anything to contribute, but our cyber-paths have crossed recently en route to The Thoughtful Dresser and Une Femme d'Un Certain Age. At any rate, I was flattered to be asked, and had fun writing the piece (some musings on shopping for Paul over the years). But I've just come away from Thomas' latest post, in which he reviews the Autumn/Winter 2007 Man About Town, and I'm feeling rather out of my league -- not only is Thomas' writing hip and witty, but he's ever so much more knowledgeable than I am. Not to mention the sheer stylishness of his blog's design. He also writes about music at Tyee and once posted about his discovery of tobiko sushi with quail's egg on another blog of his to which I can no longer find the link (which is apropos of not much except that that's a favourite sushi of mine as well). Check out Sunday Best because you'll be entertained and learn a thing or two, and be tolerant of tomorrow's guest poster 'cause, you know, she never claimed to be an expert!

downtherebythetrain said: Thanks for following! I'm confused about your blog situation... but droppingtheball looks good, so I'm going to try and follow you if that's okay by you. Have a nice day/week/life
Yeah, I somehow ended up with my main blog (droppingtheball) not being my "primary blog" (Tumblr's terminology). So whenever I follow people etc it shows up as this user name, but I only ever post to droppingtheball. I've somehow managed to make something as simple as Tumblr unnecessarily complicated. Story of my life!
Oh and thanks!

I can understand that. Especially when you first lose someone.
Maybe these 'psychics' wouldn't be so successful if human beings, particularly in the Western world, were taught better how to deal with Death, mortality, and how to support those experiencing Grief. I've talked with enough people to gather that they felt mostly abandoned by friends when Grief kicked in their front door to knock them around. A lot of times people leave the grieving to themselves a little too much or just flat out avoid them because they can't handle it themselves. So, grieving folks are kind of easy targets for psychics because they're more vunerable than usual.
"Oh yes, your Mother is standing right next to you and says she wants you to continue with college and that the occasional chills you feel aren't a cold breeze but rather her standing next to you." That's the kind of crap these readers say. And people eat it up because they want to believe it.
Sylvia Brown would not be nearly so well known had it not been for the show that Montel Williams hosted. She was a regular guest and he let her have free reign.
Really? Wow.

Ok, so that's what the Bible says. That's fine. I'm not here to debate dogma. The relevant question, however, is who cares what the Bible says? By unquestionably following the words of some ancient text written by a bunch of desert nomads, you are demonstrating your total lack of critical thinking skills. If I used your logic in school--"this text says this, therefore it's true and we should uncritically follow it like a bunch of goddam sheep, because it says so," I wouldn't have gotten past 6th grade. You are an embarrassment to middle schoolers everywhere who daily demonstrate higher levels of thinking than religious folk.
What you should say in regards to the Bible or any other text is the following: "OK, whoever wrote this is obviously trying to convince me of something. But what are the logical reasons why I should believe in this?" THINK, for Christ's sake!
