I have noticed I can lie to people a lot easier than I can tell them the truth. Why? I think it's because they like lies better than they like the truth. I get friends galore when I tell a bunch of lies. They gather around me in an attempt to hear more lies. If I post a topic that gets down to the nitty gritty truth, it makes me wonder if it's gonna be responded to, at all. I wonder how many more enemies I am going to make. But, if I come on here with "make up on my face," it seems that people can see, right through the screen, how beautiful I have become. It seems that they thi

Well, I guess I'm a thief, Mrs. O! It's not your fault that I am a thief. But, you could help the victims of my thievery. Why don't you get in tough with the victims you think I have victimized, and help them pursue justice? You seem to be quiet concerned about their need for justice in this matter. I am ready to be prosecuted.

Thanks to all three of you for taking notice, and not just simply turning your head to businesses who only seek profit, without regard for human rights. I was noticing that human trafficing (slave trade) is going on right here in the United States, regarding child prostitution. Foreigners are finding the United States a good place to come to in order to get a child slave for their favors. If this video works take a moment to watch it. http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/.../moore-kutcher-join-our-crusade-to-end-child-sex-trafficking/

Does a Sagittarius do different in certain situations than a Scorpio does? I sometimes hear otherwise smart people indulging in this kind of voodoo. I ask myself why the heck do otherwise smart people believe in voodoo, like this? Do they like to classify people in order to have a predictable set of boundaries associated with others, and even themselves? High School was, to me, a breeding ground for impulses to classify people, and things, into categories. There were the cool and the uncool, the jocks, the nerds, the beauty queens, granolas, freaks, dopers, etc., etc.. What were

An investigative report by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) showed, in 2002, that hundreds of thousands of children are being purchased from their parents for a pittance, or in some cases outright stolen, and then shipped to the Ivory Coast, where they are sold as slaves to cocoa farms. These children typically come from countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, and Togo. Destitute parents in these poverty-stricken lands sell their children to traffickers believing that they will find honest work once they arrive in Ivory Coast and then send some of their earnings home. But that’s not wh

Do you believe in "honesty" among the people who moved jobs out of this country. How honest do you think they are? What have these businesses done with the lesser regulations they have had on their doings, in the past few years? Do you ever think to ask yourself what you are buying from other countries, and under what conditions it was manufactured? Do you do any research at all to find out if you are contributing to violence in other parts of the World? How much money have you managed to save up, over the years that you have been buying foreign goods?

A global institution, and its international operations and sourcing arrangements are exposed to various risks. They can be party to serious human rights violations in the workplace. These business operations means having relationships in a number of countries, including China, Indonesia, and Thailand, where the U.S. State Department, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch indicate law and public policy do not adequately protect human rights. Where Forced labor, illegal child labor, and violence against women, not to mention violence against all humans in various ways, are rampant.

The course I took, in Commerce Law, helped me quiet a bit with the whole situation. It even helped me spot things, regarding liability ins., that were valuable in my search for a good insurance policy. I would say it's worth the research to avoid conflict of interest. Insurance companies are in the business to make money, and your research can help you. Somebody else's insurance company may not be the one for you. You are doing the right thing, right now, Subby, bu asking the question you have asked? My business is quiet different than yours, because mine deals with a small segme

People are classified by objective opinion, and by objective fact. Objective opinion is not based on a concrete distinction of a person's true classification. We know the truth about ourselves, by weighing the facts in a way that is our honest opinion. If we cloud our honest opinion, about ourselves, with data that is not credible enough to rely on, we can get off track of who we really are, If we are labeled as "a hopeless case," "a loser," or "just plain old ugly," someone is attacking our worth. And, we might say, to ourselves; "who am I to disagree?" "Maybe They're right." "Maybe I am

I don't give a rats arse about the beauty of the wedding. I just hope this Princess is as nice a person as Princess Diana was. I think Dianna's son had some good up bringing, and I trust his choice.

I like Michael Bloomberg's attitude about unions. Whether a union is a Corporate union, or a Labor union, everybody deserves representation. Corporate unions have Law Firms and Lobbyists to represent them, in this country; why should Laborers not be represented, with a Labor union? Here's a pie chart from 2007. I know it's a few years old, now. But, how did 2007 statistics relate to what happened in 2008, where the stock market crashed? I think it's the American people's fault. They allowed the cash cow milkers to milk, milk, milk! This pie chart shows that 50% of us have only 25

I don't suppose carpet bags are needed anymore, but the objective seems to be quiet the same.

People in South Carolina will work for almost half the hourly wage that a big Washington State company has been used to paying. The big company has been making good profits, but they want more. The way they have decided to do that is move to South Carolina, and pay the workers 42% less money than they have been paying Washington workers. Boeing is opening a plant in South Carolina to help build its 787 Dreamliner. They are investing $750 million in that South Carolina plant, and expects to pay the workers there 42% less than its Washington state workers get. By shifting substantial p

Here's some trickle down economics. But, I think it's a better business dill for Boeing. Boeing is opening a plant in South Carolina to help build its 787 Dreamliner -- the up to 330-passenger aircraft whose scheduled delivery date has been delayed six times. BusinessWeek reports that Boeing is investing $750 million in that plant and expects to pay the workers there $15 an hour, 42% less than its unionized Washington state workers get. With 850 Dreamliner orders worth $110 billion on the books, Boeing can hardly afford more problems with this plane. Is this move by the company short

Do we ever want to know the truth? Here's how to find out the truth about yourself!

A simple cuddle can work wonders.

I believe our representatives are making decisions based on the assumption that people are cold, rationalistic individuals who respond to incentives, rather than to reality. It's like when the Soviet Union Fell, according to David Brooks, "we sent all these economists into Russia, when what they really lacked was social trust." Brooks tells Robert Siegel on All Things Considered. "We invaded Iraq totally oblivious to the psychological trauma and the cultural realities of Iraq. We had financial regulatory policies based on the ideas that bankers were sort of rational creatures who woul

I have noticed that people get real defensive when someone presents them with the bitter truth. My question is, "do we force our representatives to pander?" I know people get upset with me for telling the bitter truth, out in public. They don't like for me to say that I'm doing worse, when they ask me how I'm doing. Even though I am actually doing worse. If I pull off my shoe, and sock, and show them my ingrown toenail, which is very swollen, they don't want to know anything else about how I'm doing. Why do people do that? If our country is going to pull itself up by the boo

The uglier a pet is the better some folks likes them. I think the hairless rat, above, has its toe nails painted. I guess it's a real rat, because it was in with a bunch of other hairless rat pictures. It was the ugliest one. "The Doctors," on channel 2, had a show about hairless pets. The hairless ones are supposed to be better for people with allergies. But, some people just hate rats of all kind.

Can you resist the best deal in Atlanta when it looks like this?

Did you take the test? If you did, have you got an internal "locus of control," or an external "locus of control"? If you have an external "locus of control," it means that other people and things control you, while you have little control of your own life.

Don's this little mother look cute?

Understanding things like I talked about, above, is worth doing now. Waiting until somebody is in their period of grief is no time to talk about these things. If you Googled "locus of control" you probably learned how to identify yours. You probably suspect what kind of locus is at work in your own life. Go back and Google, "locus of control test" and take that test. It's educational.

There are different ways to look at the question I asked in the Topic. Understanding and addressing your "locus of control" (Google that)is very important. Understanding your "locus of control" makes you a logical, and/or reasonable person. Suppose you are at a football game when, a thousand miles away, your father died of a heart attack. You might internalize that event by saying, "Oh, if only I had been there, he might still be alive. I blame myself for what happened." But, that is not very logical. If logic doesn't step in soon, that kind of thinking means you have a low "locus
