    Rereading your last comment, I realized what you said in the first paragraph. Haha, I guess I misread your article then as well. Sorry, the add kicks in a lot. I've been keeping close tabs on what has been occuring in government right now, mostly dealing with how the media is portraying everything, the presidency, and even Congress, and I know what you mean by it not meant to be socialistic. I think we're all just being run by babboons without a care in the world, except for their money and their mistresses. So I'm fully agreeing with you on the no socialism thing. I'm in the middle when it comes to liberal and conservative, and both sides just seem to be overdoing it. I'm so moving outta here.

    I understand what you are saying, and I would know about that more than a lot of people, but I also know that there are ways to prevent yourself from starving. There are many people that tend to rack up credit card debts, make unwise spending, buy houses they can't afford, and even with two paychecks, didn't even think for a second that they wouldn't be able to afford it in the long run. I appreciate what you are telling me, but what I want you to know is that socialism is highly risky, considering the people that would probably take advantage of it. Think about it, if everyone gave out their money to others, and then people stopped working because they would get money anyway, we would decline faster than we are now. And monarchies and dictatorships are probably the worst thing you could have suggested, not to be rude. What we need right now is a stabilized democratic republic, more now than it is. Where people can help make decisions, but have representation. Like it is now, but with less money going to the bigwhigs, more programs for our less fortunate, and for god's sake, NO NATIONAL HEALTHCARE. I find that your chats are very nice, and I'm not going to deny the fact that your articles are good. I just find your suggestions of different government to be a little overstepping.
    That's all.

    That right there should be an article. You spin your words so perfectly. I'm in awe of your intelligence and depth. I wish I could express myself as fully and concisely as you do.

    I agree with everything you said; you just were more eloquent and lush in your approach. The thing about Glenn Beck is that he is either incredibly, tragically deluded or an excellent businessman. I believe he is both. One must have a touch of insanity in order to say the things he says or believe the things he believes. It is incredibly heartbreaking and frustrating to watch him essentially embarrass himself in front of the nation. If someone loved him, they would stop him.

    Do you watch the Colbert Report? It is one of my favorite shows (second only to the Daily Show) and lately he has been brilliantly satirizing Beck. While I watch Mr. Colbert do so, I can't help but feel he is kicking a dead horse. That is, I think that until I realize that Beck has over twice the viewers Colbert does. I read an article on the Huffington Post site that basically said that Colbert is doing to Beck what Jon Stewart did to Jim Cramer. The New York Times did something on Glenn Beck and failed to mention Beck's "hatred" of the families of the 9/11 victims. Last night, however, Colbert mentioned it. Oh did he mention it. His writing staff is beyond fantastic.

    The line? "The 9-12 project is not for families directly affected by 9/11. Just people building their careers on it."

    I know you know what the 9-12 project is.

    I am not so much angered by the likes of Hannity or O'Reilly; I may disagree with their politics and views but I do not dislike them as much as I do Glenn Beck. I am appalled that his family and friends allow him to go in front of the camera every day and that fact alone leads me to believe that they are just "milking" it or that it is a facade. Either way, it is disgusting and wrong.

    I am so glad to find someone else on this site that is willing to discuss things such as this. It is rare. Thank you for this discussion!

    No, you haven't given me too much to chew on. I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier-- I've been the tiniest bit overworked this past couple weeks. I've regained my composure, however, and I hope things will be working out better soon!

    I promise I'll take a look at your updates when I have the time... which, unfortunately, is not now.

    So, how have you been recently? Been up to anything exciting?

    Um, wow, thank you for those kind words. I seriously just wrote that story out of boredom and decided it wasn't all that important to me and posted it. (I only really post stories online if I don't really have any big plans for them.) I was doing too much reading about 'mysterious cattle mutilation' with the two main suspects being cults or aliens. I liked the aliens better, but I couldn't think of anything to write about it. Though I'm starting to strongly dislike the story, funny enough. But at least my English wasn't [i]too[/i] broken in it. Hooray for second languages!

    But that sucks about journalism. A lot of it is the fact that journalism is a dying profession. I look in the paper, and it's all watered-down, boring articles. People don't have the attention spans to read something truely well-written anymore, and most people get news off television. And the article you wrote is definately not something found in an everyday newspaper.

    Anyway, you've got me interested in your story now. I'll probably read it at some point. It would be nice to read something good on this site for once.

    Oh, those journal entries are so old I'm surprised they're still up. I was a very angry individual back in the day. (6 months ago) And I think that's very visible in my journals. The amount of cussing in them is horrible and I kind of laugh at how much a person can mature is such a small amount of time. Ah, but anyway. Yes, my myspace is weird, I've changed the setting at least 3 times but it still stays the same.

    Oh, and your article was very informative. By far one of best structured articles on this site. Kudos!

    Well I thought the poem was rather delightful and I love that style of writing, and anything to do with the Victorian era for that matter.
    And thank you for the comment on my pictures, yours are very distinctive, I like the black and white effect :)

    And, as an after thought darling cousin, I am part of the modern teenage society, and while I may not conform to the rules exactly like everyone else, I still like to listen to "pretty" bands with "pretty" images, after all, I am only thirteen and have many years to develop a more classy music taste.

    every one is entitled to his or her own opinion, but I suppose my music taste could be worse. I'm perfectly content with what I listen to at the moment, and in a few years, i shall see if I still find them interesting and shall get back to you with it.

    Moonlight sounded so much better when I wrote it out the first time in my notebook. Pity, it sounds rather......not so good? now.

    Have fun with that, but right now, you could always put your journalism degree to good use, until you become an english teacher (God bless the kids your teaching). Just kidding, your going to be a great teacher.

    I have a story idea, but I am finding it impossible to write, for every time I attempt to, I burst into tears. Though you may not like it, it is a fanfiction, dedicated to the keyboardist and back-up vocals of german band, Cinema Bizarre. Luminor was forced to leave, due to a health condition, and it was terribly sad, so it is impossible for me to write.

    I am enjoying Bloodgroom, but if you chose not to write it any more, I will completly understand, I too have left many stories that may have once been great, because writing them was becoming something like a particularly horrible chore.

    I'm great, I heard from mother you got your degree? Congratulations! Sorry I haven't been on in quite some time, busy busy busy. I shall read the new chapter and admire the new layout as soon as I get the chance.
    In other headlines, I still have yet to be able to write anything worth reading. I have no idea why, but alas, let us not worry about such depressing matters!

    I hope to hear from you soon!

    Wow. That might be the most elaborate praise I have literally [i]ever[/i] received. Thank you so much, that means everything. I'm so glad you like my story, and WOW; I'm only fourteen, but I'm glad you think I have a fresh perspective. Thank you so very much.

    Again, thank you; my band thanks you, haha. We're writing a lot of originals at the moment, since we've progressed a little bit since we first formed. Still, in the beginning, we did play a lot of covers, and they're fun to play. Usually, though, we use the cover songs to warm up, and that's pretty much it.

    Thank you for your interest. :)

    I really love you at the moment! Whenever someone comments on a story it's always [i]"Awesome!" [b]or[/b] "Can't Wait For the Next Update!"[/i]

    Of course with atrocious spelling and grammar to match. But I thank you a million times again for your opinion on my story.

    Oh, and you said something relative to my age and experience; how old do I look and of which experience are we speaking of?
