Just as Miami's hotels, restaurants and retail stores are
seeing a bump in business for one of the biggest sporting events of the year,
law enforcement and social service agencies say they are also witnessing a spike
in trafficking of underage sex workers.
As a result, volunteers are out in force in Miami,
Florida, this Super Bowl weekend to try to try to get teenage girls off the
streets… by moving them into Charlie Sheen's house.
What a shame we have aloud a progressive dumbing down in language, social skills, manners, common sense, knuckle dragging monkeys with pants. Hey these are my grand children!!
I was at a bus stop waiting for a bus when this cross-eyed boy stopped in front of me. He then started talking in sign language to another boy about the same age. As I watched theirconversation, one and then the other glanced at me. Of course, this made me wonder what they were talking about. Then I proceeded to get paranoid the way one does when people are speaking Spanish or Arabic in line at the post office.
As I considered what to do, it occurred to me that if I wanted to let them know I was on to them, I would haveto get them to read my lips. First I would have to get the attention of one of them: “Hey! Over here. Look at me!” And then I would have to speak clearly and slowly: “I-know-that-you-are-talk-ing-about-me, lit-tle fag-got!” Of course,there was the chance that neither boy could read lips, in which case they would probably give me a quizzical look, move away and continue talking, now almost certainly about me. This would drive me crazy.
Another possibility was that the boy’s eyes were crossed because he had caught dyslexia, maybe trying to read the lips of a person with crooked teeth, gold fillings and really big lips, at night. As a result, maybe he would read, “Hey! You know about me? Here I are,that little talking faggot. Look me over!” Then they would be sure to laugh at me in sign language. I wouldn’t know whether they were laughing at me, the little talking faggot or me, the little talking faggot with poor grammar. Trying to convince them that’s not what I said would only exacerbate the situation. And to make matters worse, people would get angry at me and say things like, “Hey, little talking faggot! Stop harassing the cock-eyeddeaf-mutes!”
After a while the cross-eyed boy was going on about something, and was looking away from his audience. He didn’t notice when the other boy walked away, so he continued to sign. Soon, he turned and saw that he was alone. When he continued to sign, I thought he was just finishing his sentence. But he didn’t stop. I was bewildered and looked in the direction he was facing to find his new audience. Nobody. What the fuck? Deaf people talk to themselves using sign language?
All kinds of possibilities popped into my head. For example, what happens with deaf people with acute schizophrenia?Does everybody have to wait their turn to use the hands? Or are some voices assigned to the left hand and the others to the right (with slight to moderate grammar and pronunciation problems)? And does this lead to altercations where one hand is used to shut the other up?
And if deaf people sign to talk to themselves, are they allowed to have important jobs, where it’s necessary to be able to keep a secret? I mean, could a deaf person be trusted to be a spy? And what if they sign in their sleep? The social, personal and national security implications are staggering. And what do deaf people say about deaf people who talk to themselves?
Right wingers calling him a socialist Nazi, Repugs obstructing his every move, Tea Partiers bringing firearms to rallies and being openly disrespected by fellow politicians, even Supreme Court Justices during his addresses to the nation...if I didn't know any better, I'd think some Americans have a problem with Barack Obama just because he's faithful to his wife.
A local chapter of the National Socialist Movement, a white supremacist group participated in a state Adopt-A-Highway program. The group calls itself
America’s Nazi Party and picked up trash along a 1 mile stretch of highway in a suburb north of
Denver.
Onlookers complained that the Nazi’s picked up the most of the garbage but left the white trash behind.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, the wars, global warming, my savings, Social Security, my credit card debt..... So I called the Suicide Hot Line.
I got a freakin’ call center in Pakistan.
I told them I was suicidal.
They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
Mary Bussey of Denver, Colorado, looked up to see an
8-month-old baby dangling off a third floor balcony and hanging on by one tiny
fist. Luckily that little kid held on just long enough for Mary to get under
him, and she made a miraculous catch. Police say the 17-year-old mother
left the child in the care of her two younger brothers while she went to
work. The boys had left the door open and the baby had managed to crawl
onto the balcony. The baby is now back with its mother, but under close watch
of social services. ***MARLAR: And now you know why catchers often oil
their mitts with baby oil.
Last year 60 Minutes eldery anti-social dust collector, Andy Rooney did his thing about the Airlines . " I really hate flying almost as much as I hate the holidays or getting up in the morning . When I do fly, I always make sure I get an isle seat on a crowded airplane . This way if we do make an emergency landing, I'll be the first one to stumble and fall . The thought of me trapping so many innocent, panic filled passengers evacuating a burning aircraft, makes me feel all warm and tingly inside "
Cosmopolitan says when women dine out with several girlfriends at
once, they consume more calories than if they'd eaten with a few people, in
a coed group, or with a guy, new research shows. ***MARLAR: Note to men.. never let your woman have a social life.
When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed at work, chewing
gum can help tame your tension, report Australian researchers. People who
chewed gum while taking math and memory tests experienced a 17% drop in self
reported stress. "The act of chewing may subconsciously be associated with
positive social setting like mealtimes, and this association may reduce
stress," says study author Andrew Scholey, Ph.D.***MARLAR: Michael Moore is the least
stressed person in America.
