Hm, I'd say it does feel like that, because you don't feel like needing anything, anymore. No matter if sleeping, drinking or eating. So, you just got an empty stomach.
mufflers? that'd be a good compromise somehow! guess, nobody would mind, if they were a bit less that loud...
ah, actually I don't know that situation anymore. But I still can rememer one scene, when an australian Player fouled a german one and the referee didn't stop, because german was still in an advantageous position (havin the ball). But afterwards, that australian Player got the yellow one.
Yeah, but because he really wanted to fall - a dive ('Schwalbe'). That's what the referee saw as well...
Anyway, I didn't deny that the german team was playing good. Actually, they reached the best result so far!
It was just the referee (and assistants) I was criticising. And that's something, which has been really bad in nearly any game so far. Especially much wrong offside-situations. Worst one I noticed is that one, which lead to a goal of Slowakia(in blue) against New Zealand(white). The upper Player was offside (but passive) and the lower one was also offside (and shot the goal!).
The german team was good, yeah. But what the referee(s) did was kinda shame in my eyes. About the 1:0 goal I'm not too sure, but I'd really say that it has been offside before. But apart from that 'maybe'-situation, there've been a number of other offside-situations the referees just didn't see.
The red card, was indeed a real shame. It happened accidently (he was falling, surely not attacking the player with intent), plus: he didn't have a yellow one before. But even if he was given only a yellow, it still wouldn't have been fair (in my opinion). Anyone remember the yellow card that was given a few minutes later to another australian player? Was that really a foul???
My conclusion: The referees messed up the game. (I'd really appreciate a 'camera overview'-referee! ) If it isn't a fair game, then it's no good game, at all!
Back to the main topic:
The vuvuzelas are typical to african football traditions and so just a part of it, like eg. drums in european (or other) countries. To ban them would be very intolerant - no matter how loud they are!
The outbreak of the volcano and even the earthquake have natural causes and have ever been part of those regions - differing in periods (how long it takes, till it happens again) and in their intensity. But that oil-'crisis' was a cause of human failure. Oil, naturally, was never meant to reach the surface. So, if it wouldn't be pumped up, something like that could never (or hardly ever) happen. And: It would take lotsa decades until all nature (influenced by the oil) has recovered(without human help). Maybe now, the damage, which was dealt in those catastrophes, seems to be much more than that of the oil, but those actions ended - the oil is still there and deals damage to nature.
How should that work? I'd say, the oil would rather get dispersed even more that way...
Ahhh, LOL! Sorry, but u did't really read that article, did u?
First of all, it's very obvious that the article is yellow press. Already the beginning sounds like taken from a bad criminal story:
"High winds and rain squalls buffet me as I walk along the beach on the remote Louisiana barrier island which is on the front line of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico."
That's nothing I'd call serious!
To go on with your statement about the 1,200 Dollars payment:
"Ma’am, I hate to say anything good about BP,’ I was told by a fisherman who asked not to be identified, because he is collecting $1,200 a day by the company to skim oil."
Hah! "paying fisher men 1,200 greenbacks A DAY for loss of earning"
They make em work and clear the oil for a price (I'd bet!) professional companies with special(adequate) equipment wouldn't do at all. Anyway, the payment is not "for loss of earnings"!
And that: "fishermans take home pay was no more than 1,000 PER MONTH" isn't too much believable, if it comes from an unknown source. Wonder whether that fisherman exists anyway...
ps: about the volcano in iceland: scientist state, that the volcano has ever broke out, shortly (very few years) before the other one - the bigger volcano - broke out. And that volcano would reach a much times higher intensity.
Imagine this horror scenario: The oil can't be stopped breaking through and more and more gets out for years. Poisoning most of the ocean, spreading all over the world. And then, iceland's big brother breaks out. Hot pieces of lava are burst hundreds, maybe thousands of miles away. Reaching the 'oil fields' an enflaming them. Alot dense smoke - especially in reach of the volcano.
If you imagine that only 1 drop of oil contaminates about 500 to 1,000 litres of water, then u soon will imagine, how serious that already is.
Just don't want to imagine to what that might lead in near future. Even if that water is no drinking water, it's gonna destroy much more than 'many' animals and aquatic plants. Maybe whole genera...
And just figure what's going to happen to all those states at the coast, which will be reached by the oil - now, in the summer time! Tourism will be much less in those regions, for sure.
Would BP have to pay for that lack of (expected)income, what - in usual circumstances - would have been earned (compared to past years profit for example)? If they had to, they wouldn't be able to pay all that, anyway. So, that'll be another financial problem the affected states had to deal with, in addition to the high costs to cleanse everything.
ahh, and I was thinking like close one of your eyes only and have a look at your nose. stay focused on it and then open the other eye again. and then... whooah... your nose turns invisible!
My first guess would be 'dreams', but it doesn't sound totally right, does it?
That must be the eyes, right?
Got it! It's the letter 'a'. Quite tricky though.
I'm always in charge I'm never in debt I'm known as the first amongst all my kind (beginning of ABC ^-^) I'm found within cars But never on buses I'm not used in Mexico, I'm used in Palestine?
It's very easy to state that we all are born evil. Sounds like a foul excuse from those (religious), who commit bad action. Like: "Oh, I'm sorry. I just wasn't able to control the evil inside of me, anymore."
Wrong one. There's a big difference between believing in god and believing in what some people had written down.
"Live your life as if it's the only life you have."
That includes "doing your very best - for yourself and others as well" and that there could be something after this life, but you shouldn't rely on that.
Guess, this should even sound 'OK' to religious people...
Well, with me it's somehow like you stated, but the other direction. I don't identify with any religion that I got to know (so far), because I don't want my belief to be depended on what other (bible, pope, etc.) define it - how a man/woman has to think, believe or live to be accepted as a real member of any religion. According to science, I don't see any problem why not to believe in both - science and god. Maybe science can, in distant future, proof anything about the development of life. But it won't ever be able to tell us, what we are living for. And that's what my belief in god gives me: a sense.
I actually don't think much about how or what god is and I don't understand why it is so important to many people. Some people think about god, believing in god, etc. in a way that they didn't really choose on their own. For that reason, they'll lose their belief as soon as something really bad happens to them that doesn't seem to make any sense. They don't want to accept that such might be part of a greater plan - that such had to happen because god wanted it to happen for a good reason, which they are just not able to see. They ask themselves: "Why should God let something like that happen?" More than once I asked myself this question. But none of those religious phrases like "It is god's will/ belongs to his plan" or "God wants to test you/ He wants to test your true belief", etc. were a satisfying answer.
Some day I realized that "All this happens for a good reason" doesn't make any sense, because it... doesn't make any sense. In my opinion, god doesn't want to let bad stuff happen. God's neither good and forgiving ("just regret and pray for forgiveness and your sins will be 'washed' away"), nor is he full of wrath ("he'll send all the sinners right to hell"). To me, he/she/it/whatever is just right(eous). Anything in the world is balanced somehow. Anyone will sooner or later recieve what they truely deserve, if we are willing to let it happen - we, not god.
Bad stuff happens, because evil people want it to happen. Bad stuff happens, because good people just let it happen.
God doesn't have to do with it. He never had. God has given us, only us, the posibility - the ability - to choose. Any other being on this planet is totally depended on its instincts. But we can control it at most. We're able to ponder on our (possible) future actions and reflect our past actions. We can differ right and wrong and are able to decide whether to become good or evil(in the end). So why do especially very religious people want to blame their or other people's actions on god? I'm not a god-fearing person, but if there's something about all that, which could make me fear, it's surely the day that 'he' really could intervene. Because that'd be the day when he has finally lost his belief in us.
