? do you think the Economy will get better in 09 or worse

At this time in the economy is where you find out if your an optimist or a pessimist. whether or not you have belief in your government or not.. i have the belief that our government has more than enough resources to get us out of this mess, they just have to figure out where to put it and when to put it.. This whole $700 billion bailout is gonna come back to bite us the tax payers in the ass, but at least money is being pumped back into the system. we can't look at the gas prices at this point with a sigh of relief. things are still horrible out here and if we don't turn it around very soon the prices of gas will go right back up and we'll be driving miserable again.. There are 2 types of recessions. one is domestic which last 6-8 months. and the other is global which lasts for roughly 16 months. we are in a global recession at this time.. the good news about a recession is that since society reacts 6 months late to the decisions our government makes, we have been in this recession since january. they officially announced a recession in june, so we've already been in this global recession for 10 1/2 months.. All signs are pointing to the economy getting worse before it gets better.. i predict that our economy won't be back to full speed until the first quarter of 2010. and i'm a bit shaky on that prediction.. these markets are so tough to call from day to day and without everyone putting away that partisan bullshit nothing is going to get accomplished. we have to look at it as everyone's issue. in this situation we have right now the rich won't get richer without helping the poor keep their heads above water. better yet get them a damn boat... what do you think?

? would you ever Sellout to get to the Top

Everything changes when money is involved. had someone told you they would give you $1 million to vote for John McCain instead of Barack Obama in the past election you would have been all over it. (my McCain readers can flip that scenario around. i can't forget my lovable losers) Yes we should definitely have some pride and integrity for ourselves, but we also need food and safety for our families. so what are you gonna tell someone who's not used to having shit? you gonna tell him to stay broke and save face. last time i checked being in the good graces of other people can't pay your rent or your car note.. I try to work my ass off on a daily basis to avoid situations like the one above. people can only take advantage of you if your lacking something they can provide you. and selling out isn't only used in situations like turning on your own people, it exists anytime your going completely against your core beliefs and values. so for someone in porn to sell their body for money doesn't actually define selling out because their belief system compliments the action. that's ok for them.. but that analogy brings up a great point because your value system and what you place importance on may not be the same as someone else.. You'll find out so much about someone when they have the opportunity to advance in life. everybody wants to be a superstar, but not many people are willing to work for it.. So before answering the title question answer this one for me.. If offered total financial security, would you ditch your core values and personal integrity?... what do you think?

? is reality based on Facts or Perception

Perception is reality. i really enjoy this quote because it sums up so much logic and answers so many question. questions you ask other people such as, 'what in the hell were you thinking'. or 'are you crazy'. and my personal favorite 'you gotta be shitting me', and yes that is a question.. If you ask a man what color is the sky and he tells you green you would would ask him one of the questions above, but how do you know he's not color blind? his perception is different from yours regardless if you can take him to the library or the internet and present him with actual facts, cause even then he may be dyslexic. i'm just bullshitting with that one, but you get my point.. That's why it would save you so much time and energy if you go through your day -to- day life practicing empathy and sympathy. you have to be able to put yourself in someone elses shoes even if you would never buy the shoes yourself. just being able to say 'i'm gonna work with the differences i have with other people' instead of using one of the quotes from up top will honestly change your life forever.. We've all been wrong before, but the way our society works is if the majority of people perceive something the same way and a small minority doesn't then we refer to that minority as 'crazy'. now i'll usually give someone the benefit of the doubt, but if your perception consistently out ways the facts that already exist then we may not have much to say to each other. i'll do my best to co-exist but we can't hang out. and yes crazy does exist, psychologists are over paid in my opinion. crazy doesn't need much diagnosis, we all can see it.. So remember that no two people are ever thinking the same thing, and even when they are they both don't see it the same exact way. so live with a purpose of empathy and sympathy because nobody is perfect... what do you think?

? is it ever acceptable to not perform Proper Sanitation habits

Don't shake my hand.. and yeah i saw you.. you excused yourself to go to the restroom and came back way too fast and without any paper towels to dry your hands with.. Let me be clear. whether piss actually touches you or not, wash your damn hands!.. Basic sanitation is slipping everyday and it's disgusting. now i'm not saying we all should be germophobic or overly cynical about the situation, but letting the little things slide is how bad hygiene begins. first it's not washing your hands. next it's forgetting to put on deodorant. that leads to wearing clothes again without dry cleaning them(please stop performing the old 'college smell test').. and last but definitely not least. if you perform a #2 and you only use toilet paper to wipe your ass, you should be ashamed of yourself. your not doing anything but smearing. you better take your ass to the nearest grocery store and purchase you some 'wet ones'. hell, baby wipes aren't just for babies. buy some for yourself.. and always keep another pack in the car, you never know when you gotta go.. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. it's something that should be practiced by all of us no matter who is watching.. yes that means you too fellas. you can't just wash your nuts just because she's coming over tonight. and ladies that goes for you as well. your not fooling anybody with all that damn bath and body works everywhere.. Damn i haven't been that fired up in a while, ya'll can thank my Egas... what do you think?

? what will happen faster: another Black president or a Female president

So much has gone on over the past week and i'm still trying to catch my breathe.. you can never fully soak in a great moment right at that time. you can enjoy the moment of coarse, but to fully understand it's significance you must look back at it through reflection.. The question posed for today was very close to being the other way around. both Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama are truly one of a kind individuals.. in reflection of the democratic primaries i am extremely fascinated with the person Mrs. Clinton is. she is just as difficult to replace for women as President Obama is for men.. had Obama not have won this time around the world may have had to wait another 20-40 years before this opportunity would present it's self again.. I say that because we live in a world where it's extremely tough to do anything for the first time. so in order for some shit to happen for the very first time there has to be some extraordinary circumstances surrounding it. hence the Bush Administration.. So in my opinion i believe that we will see another black president faster. my logic stems less from better or worse, and more from done it and haven't done it.. when Obama knocks this President thing out of the park it's going to make it much easier to vote for the next guy. had the shoe been on the other foot; or the heel in this case, then i would have said a female president would be chosen faster.. Americans fear the unknown.. plus i believe the best Clinton is still yet to run.. Chelsea 2024... what do you think?
