Will we eventually have one global language?
Lately, I found myself wondering whether we are slowly sailing towards one global language. If you take a closer look at the current linguistic processes around the world, you will quickly notice that there is a limited number of languages that substantially influence all other languages. Such media like the Internet only intensify this process.
If we assume that English shall continue to spread and make such a tremendous impact worldwide, is it prudent to say that our languages are gradually melting into one? Will they transform overtime to the extent that despite using different languages we will be able to understand each other?
Or are we evolving to bilingualism/multilingualism? Our mother tongue will be retained, but the "overlord" language will be required to fully participate in the global affairs.
Would it make our everyday existence easier, or - on the other hand - would losing other languages trigger a decline in culture-dependent thought diversity?
(see linguistic relativity or Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for details)
Please share your thoughts.

Nov 17 2013: For the past several months I have been backpacking the world and therefore encountering hundreds of people of numerous languages. My general knowledge of multicultural languages is very limited. And by that I mean almost non existent! I can understand and know the basics in French/Spanish/Portuguese/Japanese (oh and my english is apparently not awful... It's not like I've lived and studied here my whole life! ;p) I originally believed my basic langauage skills would see me through and surely at least someone within maybe 100 yards of wherever I am shall understand something I'm on about. Naive was I. Whilst gallivanting from small town to large city, across boarders and oceans I realised the stretch just one language can have! The utter confusion which can easily be caused if you use a similar word or language or slang you have picked up from a neighbouring location. Something as simple as a border control bridge can be the divide between people fluently understanding you and not even police or taxi drivers making sense of a single word. I think because of this huge diversity amongst the already huge array of languages throughout the world, to have a universal language would be very tricky. HOWEVER; one way or another I have eventually been understood one way or another everywhere I have been, so maybe a universal language would not be the optimum since even then it will be infiltrated with slang, different abbreviations, pronunciations and accents. I found that without the use of language (well an understandable one!) you can still be perfectly understood with body language (by this I mean over the top he's tired and actions haha) and guessing words or pointing at things similar etc. Language doesn't have to be a social barrier. Just improvise and have fun with it :DNov 16 2013: No, I do not believe that there will ever be a single universal language that all communicate with.

For two main reasons-
Language is constantly changing even in the last 20 years so much of the English language has changed. Can you imagine the writers like Dickinson or Shakespeare trying to understand a modern day text message conversation? Yet they were both English speakers. There is no way that even should one language become the common language of all that dialects and variations of that language would not begin.
Secondly, language is often apart of one's culture and self-definition. Just as people hold to their nationality, with that comes their language.Nov 13 2013: For a person who comes from a country where dialect changes every 40 miles (Gleason et all) and there are are as many as 22 'scheduled' languages and as many as 1576 'classified' mother tongues that idea seems improbable and sad. Everything global may not be good. Consider an epidemic.
Having a global language of commerce and a global language are two very different realities.
scott fowler
Nov 12 2013: I think it could go either way. I think there is a benefit to a global language but also diadvantages. Language is a cornerstone of culture. We are creatures of tradition as much as habit. I think that because we have 7 official languages in the un that we will continue to consolidate toward those languages. Having a common trade language has been the norm for millienia. English is by my estimation the global trade language of the modern age. If you look at star trek the klingons, romulans, and other civilizations all have a unified language although there are dialects. This was not arbitrary. It is founded in social science of in grouping. If we become a global culture/civilization, and I believe it is a natural progression, then yes we will have a global language. Information can travel much faster and with less cost if there is a global language. Look at vietnamese, they are the only asian country that use roman letters influenced by the french.

There have been as many languages as cultures. In the past it served to protect ideas which was helpful to block the stealing of ideas and technology. Now we are collaborating more and more inter culturally and internationally. In science the common language is latin. In trade it is english. In politics it is the seven un languages.
Nov 14 2013: You are right here, the reasons why we kept our languages distinct are no longer valid. It is no longer helpful to be separated from other nations because of these linguistic differences. But if we unified our languages anyhow, would the benetifs outweigh the cons? Languages are windows into human nature and thought, and thanks to this diveristy we gain a lot of different insights, ideas, approaches and so on.
Nov 14 2013: there could also be a middle ground where the benefits equal the cons. If anything, bilingualism will be a stepping stone to a universal language. To be clear I think it is very valid to have multiple languages because of the various thought approaches and insights.
Joshua Bond
Nov 12 2013: Most of us in Europe have already evolved to bilingualism or multilingualism.

As you point out though in your introduction, every language is a culture carrier, and speaking 3 languages I am aware I adopt a different "cultural mind-set" with each language. It would be a shame to lose that.
It is likely that there will be an "overlord" language'; I would not necessarily bet on it being English, though, despite its current status.
Languages also have a habit of diverging with geography, as evidenced by the number of American-English dictionaries available, so there is also a pull in the other direction; people are very precious about their national and/or regional distinctiveness.
Nov 14 2013: My thoughts exactly. To be a full-fledged citizen of the fast evolving world now, more than one language is required. It is not only about the communicational needs, but also about bringing an entirely new and different world view, values, thinking, approach etc.
The status of English is not exactly clear, but jugding by its fairly uncomplicated structure at initial levels, it would be within everybody's reach to learn it. Maybe it would not be sufficient for regular communication, but it would add to the bigger picture.
Nov 14 2013: Hi Tomasz,
I think Spanish is also a possibility as an "overlord" language, given its impact already in South America, and increasingly in North America too. It's also fairly simple and is written as it is pronounced - unlike English.
Some people think Chinese will be the new world language, but I don't think so - "which Chinese?" I usually reply to people who suggest it.Nov 25 2013: Any young person in any country with internet access already speaks a lot of English. Now for the first time in human history we can and do communicate on a global scale. Ergo, (Latin)for the first time in human evolution we need a universal language and, voila (French), it is evolving right before our eyes.
Terraish, I made that up, will and does encompass pieces and parts of all spoken languages. Watch the internet and you can see it happening every day. By the way, the word "internet" didn't exist before 1968 but nearly everyone on the planet older than 3 knows what it is...evolution in progress.Nov 24 2013: Yes, I think we should and will eventually have one global language, and I think we could accomplish this while preserving native languages all over the world. This would mean that people the world over would be bilingual.
I'm impressed that European Union has a language goal for its 450 million citizens, which is to learn two languages in addition to one's native language. And it appears that the EU is making progress toward this goal, with the most commonly spoken second language being English. I'd like to see the US adopt a language goal of English+1, meaning that everyone speak English fluently plus one other language of their choice. Moreover, I'd like to see the US become the most diversely bilingual nation, consistent with its heritage as a nation of immigrants.Nov 21 2013: "it does not necessarily have to be english" (no zapewne polski) - we have a global language, which is english, (encompassing whole universe because even aliens can speak english!) ... only pity it wouldn't rule in multiverses because contrary to HARD evidence that they exist, it is probably the greatest illusion of modern science.
"It is not only about ... , but also about bringing an entirely new and different world view, values, thinking, approach etc" - very nicely and wisely, but the only thing we can do is enter in that world of english and stay... but the richness of our language doesn't have to disappear, we can enrich, improve and develop english as did the great Poles... J. Conrad or J. Bronowski
my greatest tragedy is that i'm very limited in my ability in using English... inability to learn English at a decent level is my biggest constraint for my mind, my biggest disability... probably i forever remain stupid Pole!Nov 20 2013: I live in Lebanon and it is totally the norm there.Nov 19 2013: I hope so. Communication is a cornerstone to advancement and diversity a hindrance. The more easily people communicate the more efficient they are as a team and the more efficient they are as a team the more efficient they are at accomplishing projects.
Nov 19 2013: Hi Chris,
Welcome to TED conversations.
Sometimes communication across languages opens up new possibilities for advancement because each language is a carrier of differing values and perspectives. Indeed, in this case diversity is not a hindrance, but a catalyst to creative problem-solving.
Once one language dominates, so does one mind-set, which increases the danger of dysfunctional group-think. Also, although it's O.K to have a linguistic "like-attracts-like" for a certain set of assumptions of "being on the same page", it does not necessarily mean people understand each other any better, or even are able to resolve differences any better.
Nov 20 2013: Joshua,
Thank you for the welcome.
I'm curious about your truth statement:
"Once one language dominates, so does one mind-set, "
I haven't seen that happen. In my IT "world" the foreign nationals who speak great English have still kept their unique backgrounds and thought processes. I don't see the relationship between how one language affects mind-set. I would think similar regional cultures would affect mindset, but not language.
As a matter of fact, even in the US, mind-sets are extremely varied depending on which region people hail from.
Nov 20 2013: Hi Chris,
You're right. I was using language more in the 'cultural' (and cultural-regional) sense than in the sense purely of language. But embedded in "mere language" is still a host of cultural values and assumptions.
I'm always aware when speaking other languages (German, Portuguese, French) that words and phraseology and that country's history just how deep embedded assumptions can be, about "how things are", etc. These are very present in the language of any conversation. In this sense one can speak of a "German cultural mind-set" or a "Portuguese cultural mind-set" with a broad sweep of expectations of how things are done.
Of course, people are people and cosmopolitan professionals of any country probably have more in common around a particular industry than people speaking one language in one country with diverse work experiences - as you have pointed out.
I think cross-cultural diversity is generally a good thing, and brings new perspectives to the table of creative problem-solving, though of course lack of language skills per se can be hindrance to progressing a specific project.
Chris Taylor
Nov 20 2013: Joshua, thanks for the replies. And I agree that cross-cultural diversity is a good thing as far as bringing new ideas to the table - and it all starts with communication in some form - and a common would go a long way to speeding things up. The story of the tower of Babel springs to mind - the one change that was made was to strip them of a common language thus causing [in their case] an impossible to overcome interruption.Nov 19 2013: Isn't that Esperanto?
- +1
Nov 19 2013: That was attempted decades ago but never took off. No surprise, why create an artificial language that is new to everybody if there already well accepted natural languages available.
English seems to have the potential to be a global language, mostly because it's probably one of the easiest to learn. Chinese might be important, but the learning curve would be much steeper I suppose.Nov 18 2013: yes but it will be a shame.Nov 15 2013: Tomasz, what you're asking here is along the lines of a similar thought I've had for a while, not so much targeted at language but rather concerning diversity at large. Indeed, technology has socially connected people and their cultures from all over the world, and I often wonder to myself what will happen when the differences among us become blurred as a single race. I think this connection, exposure, and "blend" of our different cultures through technology is important, and I agree that technology is definitely changing the way we communicate with each other including the way we manipulate language, but I don't think this is a bad thing. Invented acronyms used in mobile texting (such as, lol, :-) , etc., -- what I call "chromatics") help to efficiently express an emotion or set a specific tone, whereas the lack of these chromatics can make a message vulnerable to being misread. In essence, these inventions colour words with an intended affect that couldn't otherwise be as easily evoked unless delivered verbally.
With all this said, as a supporter for transhumanism, I believe in evolving side by side with technology. Some people say that we (society) have already become cyborgs in the way that our cell phones are attached to us almost constantly, as if they were an extension of our own bodies, and even realities. (You could find some TED talks about this if you're interested.) What I fear though is similar to the very question you're asking, that being, "would losing other languages trigger a decline in culture-dependent though diversity". What I fear is that perhaps technology is not blending our cultures together, but is rather creating a new one through an inflation of self curated personas and thus collective social groups that abandon the classic forms of what we regard as cultural identities . This scares me for a variety of obvious reasons, but also b/c defending the idea of nationalism/culture was one of the primary archetypes explored under WWII conflictNov 14 2013: Eventually this will happen. And i think it should because if there was to be one global language then we all will be able to communicate easily with individuals from different countries thus creating more equality. I think language is what separates us and causes conflicts among us. Also it will benefit the global economy as the world business would be better able to communicate.
Although cultures might lose their meaning, i think having one global language is a uniting force.Nov 13 2013: Eventually.Nov 13 2013: I don't think we are evolving to multilingualism--I think we have always had it in our nature. A multitude of languages still exist in use in the world and are being used functionally and productively--especially if we look at the concept of language more broadly as a tool for communication and sense-making. It's hard to imagine all but one disappearing.
Nov 19 2013: Hi Marjorie,
If you lived in Europe, you might well believe that multilingualism could be the norm.Nov 13 2013: Technology will overcome/resolve the language barrier. No need to invent a universal language.
Da Way
Nov 13 2013: When you say 'eventually', i imagine thousands of years into the future. To predict what happens then, it can be helpful to look back at the past few thousand years to see what's happened so far.
- 0
Languages are born, evolve, and die. Just like we do. At one stage, when latin was the dominant language, I'm sure many scholars predicted that it would be the universal language eventually. It's pretty much a dead spoken language now.
Until recently, there's pretty much only 3 ways a language spreads and becomes dominant- through military dominance and invasion, through economic expansion and trades, and through birth and population growth. These are how most of the current dominant languages came to be. One thing these methods have in common though, is the limited rate of spread. They occur slowly, limited by geographic expansion.
The reason English is fast becoming the dominant world language now isn't because of the success of the British Empire or the US economy or political power. It's simply because the internet happens to be invented at a time when the English speaking countries are influential. If the internet was popularised a few hundred years back or in the future, when another language, Spanish/Chinese/Hindi is influential, things may well be different.
The internet breaks geographic barriers instantly, to keep up with this sudden fast paced communication, people need a convenient tool. English happens to step in first to be that tool.
Back to 1000 yrs in the future. I agree there will be an 'overlord' language and local tongues. I dont imagine the overlord language will be one we recognize now, bound by a particular nation. It may be called 'English' or 'Chinese', but fusion will have occured so much it'll be like trying to identify the race of a child who has great grandparents from 8 different nations. Look at how many foreign words in the English today compared to 100 yrs ago.Nov 13 2013: Defenders of cultural diversity should be able to defend genetical diversity as well, and oppose cross-ethnic mariage.
Nov 13 2013: Why?
Nov 13 2013: Let me see. I think I was drunk when I wrote that. I don't quite get what I meant either, but if I had to guess, I'd say this ; there is no logic behind the discrimination of genes and memes.
Whatever that means.
Ok look, I'd rather live in a world populated by individual diversity than by group diversity, because differenciation of a group is caused by isolation over time. And I believe isolation over time sucks ass in the age of information. We can let the memes get mixed and evolve through rationnal selection, rather than any other selection.
Nov 13 2013: I think that the biggest diversity is in our minds. I don't understand what u mean by group diversity.Nov 14 2013: I mean the evolution of groups that are, and identify as, different from other groups.
Nov 14 2013: Don't you do the same in your daily life?Nov 14 2013: Shame on me if I do, and I'm sure I do.
Nov 14 2013: We all do Gerald, everywhere even in the intimate lifeNov 12 2013: Probably, but not any time soon. At the end we all might very well communicate in "0s" and"1s"

Nov 14 2013: Right Gerald ,
Look at the grief He had to give us the last time.
Nov 14 2013: - The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
How do Christians defend that bit? I've always wondered.
Nov 18 2013: Don't understand the need to defend. Mankind was instructed to fill the earth. We decided to stay together; God twisted our arm a bit. It worked, now we fill the planet.
Where do you think the languages came from?
:-)Nov 18 2013: I'm tempted to reply languages evolved, but doubt that you're a big fan of the E word. You believe languages were God given, all languages different as are every animal species, with no common ancestry?
Nov 19 2013: You saying they evolved is just like me saying god did it. Lol. Doesn't really get us anywhere. The origins of language is a bit of a mystery; leaving aside biblical faith; there are many theories, but nothing concrete.
To the question. The trend is certainly for less languages, but my perspective is that we won't be around long enough, as a species, to reduce it to one language.Nov 19 2013: " You saying they evolved is just like me saying god did it."
Yes, although it implies that God does things exactly the way evolution would : blindfolded.
Nov 19 2013: Evolution would start from simple & defective & improve.
Creation would start perfect & degenerate.
If we are on a middle rung, how do you decide whether we're going up or down ?
:-)Nov 19 2013: Evolution is not synonymous to improvement. And there is no such thing as a middle rung for things with no definite ending.
However, species as much as languages have been witnessed to come into existence, and the process of how it's done is well understood.
But never mind science, you've excited my curiosity : if perfect things degenerate over time, does God?
Nov 19 2013: Science says very loudly that everything degenerates over time.
God is a spirit (as are you, but within a body); Mr. Einstien et al will tell you that time only affects items with mass. Therefore God is totally unaffected by time. In fact He created it.
So, no, He will not degenerate, neither will you; only your material packaging.
:-)Nov 19 2013: You raise ever more questions!
1/ What's the difference between my spirit and God, then?
2/ Are you saying God existed before the existence of time?
Nov 19 2013: 1) The bible describes you as being in God's image. You are also described as His child. What exactly that means I'm not sure, but the prospect sure has me animated.
2) Yes, God made time along with the material universe. Material & time are co-dependant according to current scientific theory.
God is eternal, He had no beginning, He will have no end. The material universe seems to have both.
:-)Nov 19 2013: 1/ You seem to take the Bible's word for it. Yet there is no mention that "in God's image" refers to something non-physical such as a spirit, and the distinction of male and female is troubling in this regards. If you could comment on that.
2/ Are other zero-mass objects eternal, since "time only affects items with mass" ?
Nov 19 2013: If we were created "in God's image" then I reckon that's how we remain (ie: spirit beings of consciousness). "I am as God created me"; it is impossible to be anything different.
In which case the physical world of duality (eg: male/female, etc) is at a completely different "impossible" level and can only "exist" inasmuch as an illusion or a dream "exists" (ie: not at all, it's just an illusion, though at the illusion-level it is full of tragedies, heroic achievements and the whole story of human endeavour).
And time is one of the greatest illusion-tricks ever.Nov 20 2013: Gerald.
Seems to me that as God is an eternal, omnipresent, spiritual being the our 'likeness' must refer to similarities in our spiritual makeup. Of course He came to earth in a human body to die for us, but that's another story.
Male & female only relates to our material body, our spirits are, I think, asexual. It's like whether you drive an auto, or a manual box, car. It's a temporary thing of little relevance.
You really need to check out relativity elsewhere, I only understand the basics necessary to understand my bible.
You are right, that I trust the bible. It is demonstrably a message system from a supernatural source, awesome.
We're getting off topic. If you want to continue go to...
:-)Nov 12 2013: It really depends on how quickly population expands versus how quickly high speed communication spreads. It would require a very tight social network however to prevent sub-populations from keeping their own languages and to prevent new languages from forming in these sub-populations.Nov 12 2013: I had this thought some weeks ago but I imagined what Russia would be like if it converted it's common language
to American English. I tried to understand what the impact would be on how we see the Russians. What would change. Would we automatically include their industries and business into new trading partnerships etc. Good Question.
Nov 14 2013: Russia is a nice example here, but I would be more curious for North Korea or other secluded and unaccessible regions. Well, with such scattering the idea of global language seems moot, but provided that one day we live in one super megalopolis and other lands or uninhabitable, it suddenly becomes real.Nov 12 2013: While the trend is towards fewer central languages (and fewer, central most things with globalization), we're nowhere near a global language, and won't be for the foreseeable future.
Mandrin Chinese is the most common native language, and it doesn't reach even 20% of the world population, and doesn't seem to be spreading much beyond China (a few businessmen learning it aren't enough to put a dent into the demographics).
English has more if you count all the people who know it as a second language, but we're still nowhere near a majority of the world population--estimates range from half a billion people, to three times that much, depending on how strict your requirements are (from barely able to ask where the bathroom is, to proficient in both the verbal and written aspects of it). Still less than 25% of the world's population given even the higher estimates.
A more realistic situation that already exists in large parts of the world, which would still take at least a good few decades to become universal, is a scenario where almost everyone speaks at least basic English, but as a second language which isn't used for day to day communication.
Nov 14 2013: Would you be inclined to say that ubiquity of English would facilitate any sphere of our everyday existence? I mean, apart from obvious travelling benefits, what exactly does it provide us with? Does it mean that everybody would become a citizen of the world?
Nov 21 2013: Citizen implies government, and a world government is a pipe dream even if we all spoke the same language.
In terms of practical effects, easier communication and travel, which is always nice. Again though, English probably won't come to replace the other languages, just supplement them.Nov 12 2013: See i doubt other countries will adopt the English language even though many of them have already. other countries like China and Japan are usually traditional with language and such. Look at china and their rules already they are very strict about traditions and keeping them. So even though many countries are converting to English I do not think every country will eventually speak the same language.
Nov 14 2013: Well, it does not necessarily have to be English. It would be exceedingly difficult to predict now what language it might be, but in general, do you think it is an inevitable direction to blend all verbal communication systems into one? Or at least they will be densely packed.
Keith W
Nov 12 2013: Yes English is already on the way of becoming the one world language. Other languages will exist for a long time but within the next 50 to 100 years probably the majority of alll people will speak and understand english

The Fort Wayne Komets beat the Cincinnati Cyclones 7-2 at Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night. Here are five keys to the win.
1. The Komets had much more energy at the start. The out-shot the Cyclones 9-5 in the first 11 minutes and led 1-0.
2. They kept going to the net. The Komets forwards clogged the Cyclones' crease so much goaltender Michael Houser couldn't see the shots or control his rebounds.
3. Matt Firman, in particular, found holes in front. The rookie scored two goals from about a combined two feet from the front of the net.
4. Charlie Effinger played great. After playing one game all of January, the goaltender played for the second night in a row and made 34 saves.
5. Brett Smith came out with a huge chip on his shoulder. He led the way offensive, defensively and physically, with help from Kaleigh Schrock.

So like a bit of stone I lie Under a broken tree. I could recover if I shrieked My heart's agony To passing bird, but I am dumb From human dignity. – William Butler Yeats
After the first round of presidential elections, the bleak prospects facing Egyptian society since the revolution have become apparent – with the incumbent, largely fake polarisation between the former NDP and the Islamic-style NDP (aka, the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party) consuming far more energy than it is really worth, all things considered. This is due, as much as anything, to the failure of "the civil forces" representing "the revolutionaries" to coalesce into an effective political front – if not to compete with the two blocs, one of which, that supporting the SCAF-cum-former regime candidate Ahmad Shafik, is detracted far more consistently than the other: the Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi – then to provide the revolution with adequate representation in society at large. Aside from the fact that culture has been relegated to a secondary and less visible part of the stage, it is hard to see how or why the cultural and social renaissance promised by 25 January might happen in the foreseeable future. Yet the vapid polarisation has transferred itself into cultural circles too, and much intense argument has taken place therein.

That's the mantra these days, and high time! Right now, it's all about looking unique. Your inspiration: Five women who've embraced what they were born with—because there's room for everything beautiful in this world. Especially gorgeous you.SEE MORE
"I Love My Two-Color Eyes"
"Some people notice right away, but I have friends who took months to see the difference," says model Verena. "I was offended when someone suggested I get colored contacts." She's right: Originality rules! On her gorgeous eyes, BTW: mascara. Try Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara ($25, lancome-usa.com).
"My Curves Make Me Feel Sexy"No question, model Jennie Runk is smokin' at 5'10" and around 175 pounds. But she didn't always feel that way. "I used to compare myself to others, until I realized it's better if I don't look like everyone else." Her new mantra: "Every woman, of every body type, should be able to stand up and say she's beautiful."
"My Hair Shows My Personality"
Big hair gives model Sabine big confidence. "I tried to relax it once and burned everything—never again," she says. "I love how my tight curls bounce when I walk!" When her hair gets thirsty, she lets a rich conditioner like Dove Intensive Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner ($5, at drugstores) sink in while she's showering.
"I'll Never Get A Nose Job"That gorgeous little bump helps model Amanda Lopes feel connected to her Italian heritage: "My grandmother had the same nose!" And though she's been teased, she says, "I love every part of me. Why would I want anything else?" Choppy bangs draw attention to her favorite feature.
"I'm Happy In My Own Skin""I like that I'm not a cookie-cutter girl," says model Diandra Forrest, who has albinism. As a child, she realized she was different from the rest of her African American family only when other kids asked if she was adopted. Her confidence booster: sports. "Your abilities, not your skin color, stand out."

Ninth-year Urbana High School football coach Ryan Hines asked himself one question as the Hawks returned to the field following their overtime score in Friday's Class 3A West Region semifinal at top-seeded Damascus: Should he put the football in the hands of a sophomore or a senior?
Down by a point after the Swarmin' Hornets scored on their first overtime possession, Hines' mind was already made up about going for the two-point conversion.
"You're on the road, you're in a hostile environment, they had the momentum going into overtime and then they scored on their first play, I didn't want them to have the ball anymore," Hines said.
As Damascus' defense collapsed on Urbana sophomore running back Raekwon Gray, a likely choice to be dished the ball for the 30th time Friday, Hawks sophomore quarterback Donovan Pannell softly flicked the ball to wide open senior tight end Brendan Wharton in the middle of the end zone to clinch the 24-23, overtime win.
"I think everyone in the stadium probably thought we were going to give it to [Gray]. Brendan had dropped a few passes earlier that would have prolonged drives, so I'm glad he was able to get that one," Hines said. "That 6-yard throw was in the air for 90 seconds, I think. That's what it felt like. We were big underdogs, no one thought we had a chance."
Friday's win was Urbana's (8-3) fifth straight after a 3-3 start and Damascus' (10-1) first loss.
The Hawks will face second-seeded Seneca Valley, a 12-7 winner over No. 3 North Hagerstown, in next Friday's region final.
"We kept in-house how badly we were banged up," Damascus defensive coordinator Al Thomas said. "The kids showed great courage to play as hard as they did. When you go into overtime, if you win the toss, you go on defense. Then you know what the other team does. We would've done the same thing they did."
After a scoreless first quarter during which both teams struggled to produce on offense, Urbana took an 8-0 lead when Pannell's 31-yard pass to Darren Ambush set up Gray's 2-yard touchdown run.
Gray finished with 145 yards and two touchdowns.
The Hawks increased their lead to 16-0 early in the third quarter on Pannell's 40-yard pass to Wharton.
The Swarmin' Hornets, who lost leading rusher Trevor Patton to injury in the first quarter, cut Urbana's lead in half with Chase Williams' 8-yard pass to Zach Bradshaw.
After several clutch defensive plays — Damascus twice stopped Urbana inside the 5-yard line — The Swarmin' Hornets tied the game with Williams' 7-yard pass to Rashard Budd.
Caleb Baisden ran the ball 10 yards into the end zone on Damascus' first play in overtime and the Swarmin' Hornets went for the field goal.
"We were debating whether or not to go for it. But we just decided we had to go for the win. It was win or go home [at that point]," Pannell said. "I think we shocked the world. No one expected us to win."
Urbana 24, Damascus 23 (OT)
Urbana (8-3) 0 8 8 8 8 8 — 24
Damascus (10-1) 0 0 8 15 7 — 23

Love is overrated
You will never find your true love, there is no perfect relationship.
Or is there?
Isn't love overrated? Shouldn't we aim for other types of relationships (eg. open relationships, not monogamous relationships, communes)?
Emily Tapley
Sep 22 2012: I think Love (in a relationship) is what you make it and it all comes down to perspective. If when you look at your partner and think of the positive things - positive things will happen to you and your relationship. If when you look at your partner and think of the negative things - negative things will happen to you and your relationship. Perfection is the good + the bad. The balance is needed. It just comes down to keeping the balance and not letting the bad override the good.Sep 22 2012: Love is underrated. Its not a relationship but the basis of human connection. Our traditional understanding of love is limited and its depiction in literature, social and inter personal communications and its different shades are not fully explored.Sep 29 2012: In my point of view, the older people become, the more they are disappointed in love (and not only in love..in people, in friendship and in life generally). When we are young, we don´t know a lot about life. Everything seems to be interesting, good and you want believe in good things. So mb because of my youth and brief experience of life I believe in love. I believe that you can love somebody strange (including homosexuals). Of course love is not ideal. But it is amazing how love can change us, our thoughts, feelings, actions etc. Somebody feels so happy, somebody gives way to despair. Everything depends on how strong feelings are, how mutual love is. It is really hard to decide is love overrated or not. I think people, who are very happy in love they overrate it, people who are unhappy vice-versa (underestimate it). There is no middle sight. You have everything or you have nothing (often broken heart).
- +4
I want to believe that love exits. Then, why we feel so depressed, sad and bad when we lose people, who we took care about, who we like and with whom we want to be? I guess the reason is love..we love each other inspite of age, weigh, sex etc.
As concerns not monogamous relationships, I dispute it. Although, there are a lot of people, who like it or have reasons for it. People are different, if they allow each other to be "free", so it is their own business and decision. But when people, who are in couple or already in marriage (which was built on love) start to betray each other - is unacceptible, mean and disgusting.
In conclusion I would like to say inspite of all unhappiness, bad love experiences is better to move on and keep belief in love, than assert that love is overrated, become self-contained and push away other people. It is easier to live, if you have belief and hope to find real love.
Fritzie -
Sep 30 2012: I think you will find as you get older that getting older does not make you more disappointed in love and friendship. Once you are in the last third of your life, you may well have a chance to marvel at loves and friemdships that have lasted forty and fifty years (and are still going strong). You will see how you feel every day to see your children or hear their voices on the phone, You will have seen your parents in their old age look at you and see that behind their eyes, a film runs of you from your first cry, to your first steps, to your helping them walk up your stairs...
- +1
Young people can easily guess wrong about what is going on in the heads and hearts of older people.
Sep 30 2012: Yes, I fully agree that these people, who found real friends and love, which one has been lasting for 20-30 years are happy and able to love. But also there are people who were divorsed early in life and didn´t raise a family. With age it is hard to find someone for them, because once they already had bad experience and now afraid to trust people. They are more attentive. I meant this situation.Sep 22 2012: The greatest thing you can ever learn is just to love and be loved in return......... I would suggest that you need to look inward and love yourself first before you can love another. I am certainly not talking about pride or ego. If you find peace inside you, you will fine love there as well.Sep 22 2012: Maybe it's old-fashioned, maybe it's connected with customs in my country, but I believe in true love. Of course is no perfect relationships and it's good (in my opinion sth perfect=sth boring), you have to learn sth from your girlfriend/boyfriend and she/he has to learn sth from you. And you have to trust. If love is overrated? Commercial love from TV- yes and it's annoying. Real love from real life-no.Sep 22 2012: With your comment about communes I'm assuming you mean love in a carnal, monogomous sense. The relationship and courtship of love.
I am a monogomist. I believe in monogomy so much I've done it three times (more if you don't count the church and the paper) you might call me a serial monogamist. It's great, it's wonderful. I've screwed it up more times than I can count, but I think I finally got it right. Or at least that's what my wife tells me.
So, while I am not the best example of a continually successful monogomous relationship, I will always defend it as the ultimate expression of the completeness of the human being. There is so much of us that is only half, and two people coming together, in spiritual as well as a carnal sense, is the greatest, the ultimate, expression of how we are only complete when we finally subsume ourselves into a greater whole. It demonstrates that we are not complete on our own, but in one other, we can be a greater "together."
While open relationships or communes are wonderful ideas, especially when people can compartmentalise their living relationships, and when a greater sense of communal love permeates those collectives - basically, when everyone understands their own set boundaries enough not to get their feelings hurt - then yes, they can work for a time. To me, the main purpose is to love each other, to be kind and giving to each other, to help each other through this life.
In fact, I've even seen some communes - open relationships like this - work. For awhile. Just like marriages.
However, I will always state that a loving, monogomous relationship is the ultimate demonstration of two human beings reflecting the varied aspects of the creator God, and is the perfect example of two humans giving up a life centered around self for a life centered around a unit.
But that's just my opinion.
And lastly . . . LOVE - can never be overrated!Sep 22 2012: I found this few days ago, that is what actually triggered this debate:
I think it is fairly impossible to find Prince Charming/Princess Charming who is 100% for you and vice versa. Although I strongly believe that these persons exist somewhere in the world. Who are just... perfect (for you).
If we accept this as a fundamental truth, and we still want to have relationships, then we' ll have to make compromises. If you are young/immature, then you are less willing to do that, if you grow and mature, you accept this more and more. And frankly, we need relationships and maybe it wouldn't be that good at all without these compromises, annoyances and frustrations.
Sep 22 2012: It's because these people don't exist. The perfect person for anybody does not exist. What you are to do is to find the person with whom you grow into the perfect couple. Two people, growing together, changing to become that Prince/Princess Charming.
That takes time, commitment, honesty, and a devotion to each other and the goal of creating that type of relationship.

Sep 23 2012: many things do not exist like what we think .sometimes we should change our solution .to search
- +1
sometime new. long we do one thing we may be locked .changing brings change.
Sep 24 2012: I know this well. The search is the key, and it takes a lifetime to learn how to search well. Once I learned how to search, that's when I realised my perfect peace had been with me all the time.
And also, when my soul mate and I had both found and created each other.
This is why it is so important to tell everyone always to keep searching, exploring, with an open heart and mind.
"Changing brings change" - so well said, thank you!

Sep 22 2012: Including the affection of parents for a child...? I don't think so.
- +1
I haven't found my true love yet(and I don't believe there's a charming prince waiting for me lol), but I don't think love is in itself overrated.
Even if all relationships aren't perfect, where there's love, there's a hope, I believe.
Well, maybe romance we all talk about isn't all about love.
I'm not really fond of romance--and sometimes the cliché --"I'm falling in love with you"-- sounds a bit silly and superficial especially when gf &bf break up with each other so easily and quickly.
The romantic atmosphere from movies and dramas could be a little too overrated, if you ask me.
Nonetheless, love is in itself perfect.
The things that are overrated are fake ones--usually meant for nothing, but attracting someone.
We need to differentiate between true relationships and shallow relationships.
In that way we might be able to get a hint of how we can love one another more truly.
Good question, btw

Oct 3 2012: Love is the spiritual part of SYMBIOSIS.
- 0
It consists of:
(a) Primary symbiosis: ---- Marriage, parenting,...
(b) Secondary symbiosis ---- Friendship, classmates, society, ....Sep 30 2012: Love, by itself, might indeed be overrated, but that is because I believe love can do nothing without wisdom. There is a 'system' to this that influences, or even controls this whole universe. We can say we love something or someone but the less we know about it or about the person, the more meaningless that love is.
Swedenborg's definition of love is
"The essence of love is loving others outside of oneself, wishing to be one with them and devoting oneself to their happiness."
Another one I like is "love is the life of man[kind]" and that is said because we do not move one single muscle without a love being the motivator. In fact, this last quote is the title of the first chapter in this book about love and wisdom:
What might even be more applicable in this discussion is his book on marriage love.
http://webhome.idirect.com/~abraam/documents/CL.pdfSep 29 2012: actually i dont learn about gaga a lot ..i just want to lisen her songs
why not an america girl ? just have a different experience .Sep 28 2012: Problems arise when we attempt to shoehorn our own intuitive responses into societal "norms". I think the substance of love is more often poorly defined than overrated. We "should" do that which we feel is the most personally beneficial within the constraints of our personally defined code of morals and ethics. I think enlightened selfishness is more conducive to sustaining love than misguided altruism.Sep 28 2012: you still like gaga now, even with the extra padding? but, yeah, gaga is awesome for her open beliefs and compassion.
i think in a former life I was asian. i've always been attracted to asians so I dated a vietnamese girl in my earlier days.
my chinese wife, however, is very open-minded, and that's what I love about her most. maybe that's a little ironic in context of your response.

Sep 28 2012: love is.
- 0
We are the ones who RATE it (subjectively)Sep 27 2012: "Shouldn't we aim for other types of relationships (eg. open relationships, not monogamous relationships, communes)?"
Well, at least in the western world you can have open relationships, non monogamous relationships, communes and whatever else of that kind-and, surprise, the great majority of people does not want to live like that. Nobody forces them to look for monogamous, closed relationsships, but the most people favor them.
As every person has a personal view on what "true love" means to them, you could not say they will never find it. Also, there is numerous people who say they have found that, so it seems to be possible...Sep 27 2012: Love is a thing for poets and bookwriters to sing about.
I started with a friend I could relate to, talk to, be comfortable with. Over time and further commitments we have developed a lasting relationship.
The term love brings with it baggage and expectations that are always looming over the relationship.
Seek a friend, a confidant, and I wish that you will know the happiness I experience.
All the best. Bob.Sep 27 2012: It is overrated in the sense that we spend our lives looking for love 'out there'....not just overrated, but it's an illusion; we are essentially seeking someone out there to love us to make us feel better about ourselves, when that love is within us all the time.
Sep 27 2012: love will always be there
renently many people say that there isnt ture love now .they just complain and complain .i dont think so .why not .why dont you use your heart to find ,why dont you to love someone by heart .they just caomplain .it is useless.if you dont try ,you will never find you ture love .
so go ahead .you will find .at least my ture is always be that!
Sep 27 2012: define for me what this 'true love' looks like for you....thanks!Sep 27 2012: You are right. At first I hate when people only complain.Everything is possible, but it required your work. But I also think that for true love you have to feel mature (maybe it's quite subjective,sorry, it's just my own experience ;) )Sep 27 2012: That's the spirit Chen,never stop trying,the best that anyone can do is if actively searching is look for the qualities that you lack within yourself and if she has them then she is the one,this can be the opposite with the image of the perfect woman that you might have within yourself as we can fool ourselves into thinking that the person we want has to be perfect in every way but in reality it's their imperfection and the fact they will view you as having qualities that they lack that will make them see you as their perfect man.we are searching to be completed,made whole.

Sep 28 2012: Juliette spero che non sei sola con il sole e sei sola con il tuo amore sotto la luna del tuo cuore piena di amore :)Sep 27 2012: You really find the true love when you do not think or have any conscious intention to do it. Is like you let yourself guided by an interiour feeling on the waves of love to your perfect soul mate. In this way God help you and guide you to reach that person and gives you chances and chances to be together. Just to not lose all the chances you have. God help you all lonely hearts. :)Sep 28 2012: i think many of you has been confused by the love from tv ,movies etc.while ture love it not like that
from that you have a higher hope .you think love should be that .while you know it is not real.at least it does not happen in your life .so you suffer you hurt.
change it .less movies more actions...i think you will find your ture love
i dont think i am a perfect man also maybe isn't mature enough .but i strive to adapt to my friends .and i get very well with my friends,boys and girl .i think this will make me more mature and perfect !
Sep 28 2012: You have all the time in the world to eagerly find out,(sigh) Ah memories
Good Journey young warriorSep 28 2012: fortunately, for myself I have found my life partner, my wife -- she's chinese, too, so do I owe you one? :) -- and it is not my first go-around in this realm either...so I'm familiar with seeking a 'true love'...I would not settle for what love I found to not be authentic enough and so I have gotten divorced once as well.
"while you know it is not real.at least it does not happen in your life .so you suffer you hurt"........I do agree with your comment here in how it relates to how we spend our energy/thoughts on things and thus receive or do not receive outcomes related to these energies/thoughts.
My previous point was that if we spend our lives seeking love outside of ourselves we are missing the very thing we are seeking. If we look within, love within, then love outside will come into our lives accordingly as we love ourselves enough to receive that 'true love' from out there. If we always look for external love we will never be satisfied, even when we think we have found our soul-mate, we will continue to pursue conditional love.
Sep 28 2012: first i will clean up that i have not gotten divorced ever .and i have never been married ..
actually i dont like american girl .. they are too open . while i like laddy gaga very much ...i dont know why
i want to know how do yo like chinese girl since you have a chinese wife ?
and i totualy agree with you we all should love withinSep 26 2012: Depends what you mean by love. If you strictly construe love as an emotion, then sure. I'll suggest that that's an incomplete characterization of love.Sep 23 2012: is not! Can't think of anything that feels better than love and causes better human behavior than love.Sep 23 2012: Up to you whether you want to have an open relationship etc.
Ideally with partners who are willing and supportive of this approach, not accepting because they feel they have no choice.
I believe we are evolved animals. Our sexual drive is powerful. Also we have reason. Now love is in part a natural drive in terms of attraction, or wanting to feel loved etc. But the deeper aspect of love is choosing not to hurt another person. Choosing to consider their needs, to try make their life happy too.
Love is also about sacrifice and compromise, self discipline, not lashing out when angry etc. Now it is up to you what you want to sacrifice or not.
If you want a partnership, you need to work at it.
I don't know if you are suggesting you will fall in love with someone and have a perfect happy life and not be attracted to other people, or have issues to deal with. But obviously some people are more compatible than others. Some people are more mature and less selfish, more giving, more emotionally stable and strong.
So some partners will be a better match, but we humans are not perfect, neither are our relationships.
Personally the deep love I have for my wife, and feel back from her in words, looks and actions is one of the best things in my life. Working for both our happiness is the one of the greatest projects of my life. This doesn't stop me being attracted to others, but it my choice not to entertain these things as per our agreement.
Most of us can not have our cake and eat it.
I suggest if you can find happiness via another path that is fine also if it does not hurt others.Sep 22 2012: "You will never find your true love, there is no perfect relationship."
There are relationships that are close enough to the ideal to last a lifetime without either of the partners feeling regret at the end of their lives. By "perfect" I suppose you mean "no conflicts ever", but that would get too boring for human beings so people are actually happier in relationships that are not entirely "perfect".Sep 22 2012: You can never "find" your true love, until you wake up one day and your true love lies sleeping on the next pillow, the same as s/he has been for the past twenty years. That's when you've found your true love.Sep 22 2012: The discussion seems to be focussed on a romantic/sexual kind of love. There are other kinds of "love" too. That between siblings, between parents and children, that between friends. That said, I consider all these forms to be delusional.
I realized that it is a hollow concept when I came across cracks in the wall. The drastic changes I see in couples before they are "in a relationship", during, and after the "relationship" has convinced me that either our culture or our biology has created false gods for us. I have also seen parents doing mean/horrible things to their children, despite claiming to love them. I have heard children talking about the mean things their dad, for example, have done to them and then conclude "but, I know my dad loves me."
Someone once asked me, several years ago, that if I have gotten rid of "love", what I have substituted it with? I was not clear of what she meant. But if she was talking about my basis for all relationships, it is these two factors:
1. Enjoyment -- how much we enjoy each others' company.
2. Trust -- built over time, that we can count on each other in difficult times.
Sep 22 2012: One thing struck in my mind after reading your comment - love between parents and children, siblings, etc.
These things seem obvious, but you really don't have a choice when it comes to these people. You love your mom and dad as a kid (and maybe you drift apart when you are an adult, but something ancient and deep will always be there, because you are their blood), but you never think about what would happen if she/he was a stranger, somebody you would meet in a bar - would you chat with him/her? Would you have something called love? I doubt it... And yet - these relationships between family-members can be really really good.
So can be pre-arranged marriages in some cases, where, again, you don't really have a choice. - but that's a whole another debate...
Sep 22 2012: I have asked myself that too. It is unlikely that if I were to meet most of my blood-relatives, I'd get along fabulously. We are all good people, but our tastes and interests are so different that we might as well be from different planets, in a manner of speaking. What still holds us together is trust, solidly backed by actions. With very young children, it's the opposite. Though there is no question of trust with a 3-year-old, I still enjoy their company. But with people of my age-range, it's some combination of these two factors. With people I have known for a very short time, we spend time together because of mutual enjoyment. Doing things together, and consistently building on this adds to trust.
I don't know if I have missed some other factor(s) that make each relationship worthwhile. At the moment, I can't think of anything else.
But how well would you get along with your own family members if you had met them as strangers?
Since you bring up arranged marriages, I gather from my Indian friends that family background is very important. I guess such relationships start off with a large deposit in the "trust" account. Divorce is extremely rare. Psychologists' research of this concluded that "love" grows over time in these relationships, just as they do in well-functioning non-arranged marriages.Sep 22 2012: Look for what you don't have inside,if she/he has got it then she/he is the one.Sep 22 2012: Love is underestimated and misunderstood.
A Yoruba proverb says "Beware of the ragged man who promises you new clothes"
Most people get their ideas of love from romantic novels, TV shows, movies and love songs; and most of the writers/presenters of the pop-love idea have failed woefully in their relationships. Turning to them is like depending on Gaddafi's idea of democracy as a blueprint for a new democratic nation.
Love is not a feeling; it is a choice that should turn to commitment. It is not selfish, and it focusses on giving rather than getting. It takes hardwork and commitment.
Some people expect their partners to make them happy; or for the feelings they had at the beginning of a relationship to last forever; or for their partners to remain faithful while they cheat.
We all need to love, and we all need to be loved; but how far can we go if we dont even know the meaning of love?
Sep 22 2012: "Love ... focusses on giving rather than getting."
Have you seen relationships where one person gives and gives, driven by this self-destroying principle, getting nothing in return? It's like chickenpox; if you get into this situation once, you're immune for life.Sep 21 2012: Love is a lie. Monogamous relationships give you security, and long term happiness. Open relationships, and communes give you fear, and short term happiness... In my opinion. Different strokes for different folks though. I have no interest in sharing my sexual partner with a diseased community.
Sep 22 2012: " I have no interest in sharing my sexual partner with a diseased community. "
Got to admit... good point. You just gotta be careful. But what if there were no sex-related diseases? What then, David? Where would you stand?
Sep 22 2012: Ooh, way to make me think twice about something, that I usually respond to rather snarkily. I might, theoretically live long enough for that to apply...
I don't know what I meant when I said love is a lie either, I've been in some crap moods lately. I just mean that it's not all hearts and flowers, and being perfectly happy with one sexual partner for the rest of your life. It's choosing one, over the desire to have multiple, and as I said to each his own, but the whole commune thing isn't for me.
I actually think I might personally have an antiquated and traditional enough personality, that I would still prefer one partner over being passed around, in the std free world... specifically because I think that relationship possesses incredible potential. I think when a man and woman vaguely tolerate one another for 30-40 years, and refuse to share that relationship with anyone else (I know like 1 in 100 at best), there is a lot of strength to be found there.
However, this has been an issue I've always concluded for myself, with the objective... "If everyone did the sex commune thing, we'd all have aids right now"... So I'm okay with the concept for other people, but it's not for me, and I think it's important it not become a culture, specifically for disease prevention purposes. If we had a bunch of doctors, sitting around bored, almost hoping there was a new disease around... I might be perfectly comfortable with the nature of the open relationship, or communal sexuality however. It would take some adjustment, but if there were not STD's, I would probably change my mind.
Sep 22 2012: David,do you think everyone around you where you live and the general atmosphere is negatively charged?Sep 23 2012: Ken brown... Yes... I kinda hate living in this country... It feels like everyone 30-60 lives in a fantasy world that's about to collapse on them... because... everyone 30-60 lives in a fantasy world that's about to collapse on them : p
I know no one outside America cares... but for the last 40 years we've been paying into social security and medicare as if we're going to live to be 70... but my parents generation are about to retire, and their life expectancy is 80, and population leveled off... So taxes are about to spike like a mofo, or we goin down... but no one's talking about it... So I guess everyone just decided to commit suicide.

Sep 21 2012: I don't like the word "love". What is "love" anyhow? Can anyone define it? I can say what is loving, but I can't say what love is.
- 0
Even "loving" acts vary from person to person. I was once traveling through a very fundamentalist christian part of the USA, and I saw a billboard. It read - "Spare not the rod, lest your children spend eternity in HELL" When parents spank a child and then say, "I'm only doing this because I love you", is that really love?
Some people say that they love one another, but do they really? Or have they found a suitable unspoken (or spoken) contract, such as, "I expect you to do this and in return I will do that". Is a secret agreement that requires one to remain stagnant and not "become" really loving?
But I do think that we are somewhat hard-wired to connect. Those hormones are pretty powerful. But it's hard to answer the question when systemic oppression still penalizes women more than men, and cause women to look for a protector with whom she hopes she will remain friends throughout life. If women had equal power, would they look for a man? Studies do show that men with wives do better in life. Perhaps the shoe would be on the other foot then.
But love? I think that it's a hormonal thing. But whatever it is that exists as a connection between people, I believe that IT is real. I would much prefer friendship over blind love. I want to see my partner with clarity, and not see him through rose colored glasses. And I want him to see me with equal clarity - flaws and all. That way, we avoid (I hope) the obstacle of not living up to the other's hidden expectations.
As to perfect relationship? What was perfect for me at 20 would stifle me today. People change. People grow. People become.
Sep 22 2012: "I don't like the word love" from TED Lover. Nice! :))
I agree with you, a real friendship is powerful, but many couples end up being friends after few years or months of the "rose coloured glasses". For some, it is enough and they remain together, but for many, I think, this is not and they end it. And sincerely, that sucks, because they were together for a reason, they started their own "friendship", they surely had a lot in common and it could have been something powerful. But they ended loving each other as a couple and it makes a friendship after the break-up impossible. A lot of potentially awesome friendships go down the toilet this way...Sep 21 2012: In my experience love is not over-rated. But love and perfection are not related.
You may be in the position that one or both of your parents are still alive. Do you think the way your parents feel about you love-wise is conditional on your being perfect?Sep 21 2012: There is true love. There are no perfect relationships. You don't need to aim to be monogamous. If you really love, it happens by itself and having sex with another partner won't make you happy. There is no love in an open relationship. People who do that are simply not mature enough. I hope this gave u a proper answer of ur question.
Btw people are different. Some people have a necessity to change partners, some don't. Don't try to generalize but be yourself in a relationship. There is no formula, it's a matter of finding the right person and a lot of time (maybe mistakes or going back and forth) to realize where your happiness really is.Sep 21 2012: I found true love. The perfect relationship that just checks itself for errors and corrects them daily.
But I don't bother with monogamy. I see too many couples around me collapse because of it.
Sep 21 2012: I guess it makes people happy or at least calmer to give themselves various explanations, find reasons and excuse themselves for making mistakes. But the mistake remains mistake.

Drama, Suspense/Thriller
Fritz Lang's classic early talkie crime melodrama is set in 1931 Berlin. The police are anxious to capture an elusive child murderer (Peter Lorre), and they begin rounding up every criminal in town. The underworld leaders decide to take the heat off their activities by catching the child killer themselves. Once the killer is fingered, he is marked with the letter M chalked on his back. He is tracked down and captured by the combined forces of the Berlin criminal community, who put him on trial for his life in a kangaroo court. The killer pleads for mercy, whining that he can't control his homicidal instincts. The police close in and rescue the killer from the underworld so that he can stand trial again in respectable circumstances. Some prints of the film end with a caution to the audience to watch after their children more carefully. Filmed in Germany, M was the film that solidified Fritz Lang's reputation with American audiences, and it also made a star out of Peter Lorre (previously a specialist in comedy roles!). M was remade by Hollywood in 1951, with David Wayne giving a serviceable performance as the killer.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Symposium on the Science of Disproportionate Environmental Health Impacts
You will need a media player program to play the audio files if your computer doesn't already include one. You can download free players from various places, such as Windows Media Player or iTunes . EPA doesn't endorse any particular media player.
You will need the free Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
EPA held a science symposium on March 17-19, 2010 to examine factors that help explain why some populations, particularly minority, low income, and tribal populations, are exposed to greater environmental pollution. The Symposium also focused on why some populations experience greater environmental health risks from environmental pollution. Discussions at the Symposium also focused on how this knowledge can be considered in the governmental decision-making process.
Following the Symposium, fourteen scientific reviews commissioned by the EPA were completed and are now published in the American Journal of Public Health. EPA also developed an update report (PDF) (73 pp, 1.69MB) to highlight ongoing and future actions by the agency in response to suggestions by Symposium participants and environmental justice advocates. These actions help to:
- empower communities to take action to improve their health and environment,
- increase interagency collaboration on environmental justice,
- advance scientific understanding of environmental justice issues, and
- better integrate environmental justice into the EPA's decision making processes.

When we have an external wound the wound generally tents to clot and there is a layer of solid scab formed.
Now,Yesterday while brushing my teeth i somehow hurt my gums and it got all bloody but didn't clot neither did it pain just after the accident
after maybe like 12 or 15 hrs later i have trouble opening my lips and when i looked at the spot in the mirror the gum tissue around and on the wound had become a White/Yellowish color.
Our Mouth are supposed to be the most contaminated regions on the human body so how come these mouth wounds heal in just about a week and don't get infected .
what is the healing mechanism found in the mouth tissue cause i figure its completely different from the process on the external body wounds

I remember one time hitting on a girl at a bar when she suddenly tells me she actually has a boyfriend who's in jail because he helped a friend move a body after the friend had murdered somebody.
I remember standing there in stunned silence for a second when she goes, "But he (meaning the boyfriend) is a real good guy, though."
So I look straight at her and go, "So then why'd he help move the body?"
I can't remember if she said something before I walked off.
Id like to think Id maintain enough composure to make fun of him for not doing a very good job at hiding the body, followed by all the foolproof methods i would have probably used. Not sure my mind would be working on all cylinders after that doozy though.
And I have the opposite ability. Not only do women hang onto **** i do/say forever, but they blame me for **** i have nothing to do with. Two chicks i knew got locked out of their own apartment by their psycho fat bitch roommate. This was the final straw for them. Cops had to be called to get the stuff out. When helping them move(curse for having a truck and fooling around with one of them) during the last batch of items the cops left, psycho fat bitch declared if they ever saw me again they were getting a restraining order. I told her id sign on the dotted ****ing lines so long as that meant id never see the disgusting cow again.
Then of course there was the ex of mine who did amatuer porn. Apparently once you do videos on the internet, they stay on there. This was my fault, despite us not dating for 2 years.
The dating an amateur porn star one is great . The way I figure it, Ive seen enough porn that theres a good chance Ive seen your penis before.
And now his fires have gone out.
Got me in a fighting mode, appreciate it gentlemen. Will return with stories of glorious conquest(verbal, physically id be hestitate about my chances of keeping my dick).

Maria Hoefl-Riesch followed up her impressive performances in the training runs to win her 27th career World Cup race and further extend her lead in the Overall World Cup. Tina Weirather took second with late starter Nicole Schmidhofer taking third.
Fresh overnight snow covered the course, requiring a huge effort by the army and volunteers to clear the snow and get the race off, resulting in the race starting 30 minutes late and down a shortened track.
For Hoefl-Riesch "It was not an easy race," she commented. "I knew I had to attack a lot and push to the limit. That's what I did. There were some difficult turns where some girls had big problems but for me it went fine.
"I am strong on this course. But mistakes can happen anytime to anyone. I always try to perform the best I can and when no mistake happen like today, it feels good but that is for sure not that easy to do," she added. This was the third win in Downhill for Hoefl-Riesch this season, matching her record of 2010 – 11.
Despite finishing sixth, Anna Fenninger said: "Everything is so tight, only Maria was just out of reach I was missing the good fortune when it comes back on another day, I'm not upset." Fenninger moves to third in the race for the Overall.
With Julia Mancuso following up her improved Super G form with ninth place, the form of the HEAD World Cup Rebels coming into the Olympics is looking very promising. Winner of the first Super G in this prolonged visit to Cortina d'Ampezzo, Lizz Goergl, suffered a visit into the netting not long into the shortened course. She appeared to be unhurt.
With the HEAD racers pushing themselves to the limit, they have another downhill scheduled for Saturday. With the Olympics drawing ever closer, the form of the HEAD World Cup Rebels is peaking at the right time. In the race for the Downhill Crystal Globe Hoefl-Riesch extends her lead and Marianne Kaufmann-Abderhalden stays in front of Fenninger in third and fourth.
