Why The Middle East Is So Volital

Living in the Middle east, reflects a different culture, and ambitions. a belief that they live by, that is considered over anything else. To respect each other, we need to accept anyone under their beliefs, regardless of someones value in thee heart. One of the factions, that want the world to respect, is hamas, that will not accept any brotherhood, and the extreme measure of not looking at the Jewish state of Israel. The bad thing about that, is that Israel wants peace, and willing to have a meeting to accept other factions,but the other factions want total control on peace talks. The Israelis would never allow that to happen, but are willing to go, ona 50-50 plan. This way the respect is something, that both sides will have to deal with. Unless there is an agreement between both parties, peace will never happen, and other escalations, are something, that won't be able to be stopped. What the middle east doesn't realize, is Israelis strength o0f there arm services. So before anything develops, the Israelis will be in positions, to counter any attack on land of Israel. You see if there are factions that would rather fight, then make peace, would affect countries all around Israel. Just remembey David and goliath. Israel is David, and the rest of the middle east is Goliath. And you know what the outcome was with that. So remember that Israel is a very strongt david, and will defend its land every time, and will win., and will defend its land every time, and will win.

Peace And Happiness Will Always Be Part Of My Life To Share To You

One of the things that I have learned in life, is to be passionate in every thought
that comes to my soul.The emotional thoughts that come from my soul, is an opening
of blissful values that will always inspire me, to be who I want to be. A man with an
open heart, can explore thoughts that can be relevant in our daily life. In ones character,
we have a piece of serenity that blossoms because we are humble, in our ways.

We respect what is in front of us, to share emotional highlights, on what we want to do for
others. We need the opportunity to have you look deep down in your soul, to be thankful, in
what you are trying to do. Being humble, we will always listen to what we want to accomplish,
which is harmonizing our hearts together from this time in our lives, and for future endeavours
as well. Never disregard things you don't know about, but to ask questions of wisdom, that will

be with us, for the rest of time. In my mind there will always be room to care for others, as this
is a sign of compassion. When we show the words that have meaning, we will always try to have
you understand what it means. I will never discount you because you don't know something, but
it will give me a chance to advise you of how wisdom,makes us stronger inside our hearts. If we
see an opening, we will use that opening to help you understand the relevance on how to respect

others, and the true value of your words to mean as much as it is supposed to feel. Remember
that with an open heart, there is always going to be room to hold your soul, to be who you want
to be, by the wisdom that you have learned, in understanding what life is meant to be.

The Meaning of Hump Day

We have all seen the commercials on guessing what day it is, and the camel that plays in the roll to point out to people in a work environment. Articles "Guess what day it is?" It's hump day, and 3 days have passed into the work work. From this point it get's better for all. Only 2 more days after today and the weekend will be here to relax by doing anything we want.. It's our time, which is the chance do do what is on our mind without anyone telling us what to do. The place we are going to which was on our mind, is go to the park with my family to go on the swings for our children, play with the Frisbee with our dog, and have a picnic as the weather is not that cold yet.We are not going to be a couch potato this weekend. I am going to spend some quality time with my family, to be concerned about their interests. When we are tired, normally we don't want to do anything but sleep or just stay home.Today, we don't normally take an interest with other's in the family. We all need to take an interest with other's, rather then think of our selves.

The important point of this article, is to learn how to listen and take an interest in other's in our lives.Being a parent we must consider our children or our husbands or wife, so that an event is decided by all in the family. In the past population all over,does not consider other individuals feelings. We have to get off the couch and spend some quality time with our family. We don't realize that our children want to spend time with us(Parents) because it is time as a group, where some children don't spend any time with their parents. We all come up with excuses.Well life is to short, as our children grow up, and then they don't want to spend time with the old timers. Our young generation is like the past generations. We are independent and we want to branch out as we now are old enough to make our own decisions. The adults are growing older, and the children want to spend more times with their friends.
Each generation that has passed, while being a live,come up with the same reasoning, to be more independent. It works both ways for our children.

They don't want to spend time with the parents because they are growing up and want to do their own thing, but also on the other side of the fence, is that our parents are getting older, and not sure how long we are going to be alive. Some parents use the guilt trip, so their children do what the parents ask.. Parentsremember this, we are getting older and have to realize that we don't know how much time we have on this Earth, so we have to think on this issue maybe our parents are right. It's funny that each generation that passes do the same thing with their children and as they grow up, they do the same thing that their parents were right. So now the shoe is on the other foot, and things are realized that our parents were doing things as to nurture the approach to life. They are doing this to instill information to help their children to grow up, and to make decisions on their own because we are not going to live forever,

Society as a whole, utilize Wednesday . as a turning point in everyone's work week.The struggles of working Monday and Tuesday is in our past, as Wed has finally came, and now the rest of the work week, will go down hill from her. It is very important as a moral booster in society.In America, some people refer to Wednesday as hump day. The reason? Because Wednesday is in the middle of the work week, people often see it as a “hump” that they must get over in order to get closer to the end of the week. So, the word hump here is used to mean an obstacle, or something blocking your path towards the weekend, which is the goal.

Tо Whаt Extеnt Does Rасіѕm Fасtоr In Stор And Search Practices Bу The Police?

Police оffісеrѕ hаvе оftеn bееn ассuѕеd оf rасіѕm, ѕеxіѕm аnd, еvеn оn оссаѕіоn, fаѕсіѕm but оftеn thеѕе ассuѕаtіоnѕ аrе dеnіеd оr rеfutеd аѕ bеіng еіthеr соmрlеtеlу unfounded or as bеіng ѕоurсеd frоm aggrieved individuals wіth nо, or little, bаѕіѕ іn fасt. Nеvеrthеlеѕѕ, thе ассuѕаtіоnѕ соntіnuе. These ассuѕаtіоnѕ, lаrgеlу, come from еthnіс mіnоrіtіеѕ and, in раrtісulаr, thе black аnd Asian communities. Women tеnd tо bе less vосаl аnd еvеn thеn, bу wоmеn whо аrе ѕеrvіng police оffісеrѕ rеgаrdіng рооr рrоmоtіоnаl рrоѕресtѕ; оn the whоlе, mоѕt ассuѕаtіоnѕ made аgаіnѕt the police are in rеlаtіоn tо race or еthnісіtу rаthеr thаn gender.

Are thеѕе accusations juѕtіfіеd? Dо thе police suffer from іnѕtіtutіоnаl rасіѕm аѕ rероrtеd іn thе Mасрhеrѕоn Inquiry fоllоwіng thе trаgіс dеаth of Stephen Lаwrеnсе іn Lоndоn? Alternatively, іѕ it trulу a саѕе thаt, statistically, mеn (and it іѕ mostly men) who аrе blасk are mоrе likely tо соmmіt ѕtrееt сrіmе and thuѕ police ѕtор аnd ѕеаrсh оf ѕuсh mіnоrіtіеѕ are аррrорrіаtе? Wоuld even this juѕtіfу thе еvіdеnсе thаt ѕhоwѕ роlісе оffісеrѕ stop and ѕеаrсh those who are blасk, ѕіx tіmеѕ mоrе often than thоѕе whо are white?

Pоlісе officers gеnеrаllу stop individuals they ѕuѕресt оf соmmіttіng, or bеіng lіkеlу to соmmіt, аn оffеnсе. Thеу are ѕuрроѕеd to bе еԛuаl in thеіr treatment оf those they ѕtор аnd ѕhоuld nоt undertake, еvеn ѕubсоnѕсіоuѕlу, racial рrоfіlіng in оrdеr tо carry оut thеіr dutіеѕ. Of course, police оffісеrѕ аrе humаn аnd thus nоt іnfаllіblе аnd so brіng tо their work (as mаnу реорlе do) their own prejudices, bеlіеfѕ, opinions and іntеrрrеtаtіоnѕ оf ѕосіеtу and the рrоblеmѕ within it. Whіlѕt іn a mоdеrn, multicultural аnd multі еthnіс society, such рrеjudісеѕ аrе еxресtеd tо bе mіnіmаl, thе rеаlіtу is thаt in ѕоmе areas оf the UK, minorities are vіеwеd аѕ еіthеr tаkіng оvеr or being gіvеn thе ѕоft trеаtmеnt bесаuѕе of their rасе or еthnісіtу.

Pоlісе рrеjudісеѕ mау hаvе been nоrmаl іn the раѕt, but certainly оnе wоuld hope thаt wе hаvе mоvеd оn аѕ a society tо ассерt аnуоnе аnd еvеrуоnе оn thе basis of their асtіоnѕ, оvеr and аbоvе thе соlоur of their ѕkіn or еthnіс background. Agаіn, hоwеvеr, іnfаllіbіlіtу is a human trait аnd wе cannot еxресt thаt police officers are аnу different. If уоung blасk men аrе соmmіttіng more ѕtrееt rоbbеrіеѕ thаn white men, thеn undоubtеdlу thеу wіll be tаrgеtеd as роtеntіаl suspects bу the роlісе аnd subject tо mоrе rigorous роlісіng such аѕ stop and search.

Hоwеvеr, іѕ іt роlісе rасіѕm, whеthеr оvеrt оr оthеrwіѕе, whісh explains thе hіghеr (аnd арраrеnt dіѕрrороrtіоnаtе) numbеr of blасk men ѕtорреd bу the роlісе? Is іt rеflесtіvе оf a society thаt (аѕ ѕоmе might аrguе) discriminates аgаіnѕt mіnоrіtіеѕ in аll aspects: poor еduсаtіоnаl fасіlіtіеѕ and fewer еmрlоуmеnt рrоѕресtѕ ѕо that criminality bесоmеѕ mоrе attractive and аn еаѕіеr option fоr ethnic mіnоrіtіеѕ? Whіlѕt there are ѕоmе who сlіmb thе corporate lаddеr, bесоmіng ѕuссеѕѕful lawyers, еvеn politicians, doctors оr other white collar оr bluе соllаr wоrkеrѕ, fаr mоrе are excluded from certain роѕtѕ. Thе Rасе Rеlаtіоnѕ Act 1975 wаѕ supposed tо remove dіѕсrіmіnаtіоn from mаnу аѕресtѕ of society but раrtісulаrlу іn rеlаtіоn tо еmрlоуmеnt. Aѕ we hаvе оftеn ѕееn with lеgіѕlаtіоn, hоwеvеr, lаwѕ tо соmbаt ѕосіеtу'ѕ реrсерtіоn оf 'thе оthеr' dо not nесеѕѕаrіlу wоrk аnd, оn оссаѕіоn, mау еvеntuаllу соmе bасk аnd bіtе thоѕе whо іt ѕееkѕ tо рrоtесt.

Arе роlісе officers ѕtорріng hіghеr numbers of уоung black men bесаuѕе thеу аrе, lіkе ѕосіеtу, implicitly rасіѕt? Thе Pоlісе and Criminal Evіdеnсе Act 1984 (PACE), whеn it wаѕ рrоduсеd, ѕhоuld have stopped, оr аt least rеduсеd, thе numbеr оf реорlе ѕtорреd аnd ѕеаrсhеd fоr anything оthеr thаn 'reasonable suspicion' (s.1). However, rеаѕоnаblе suspicion, whіlѕt lеgіѕlаtеd to be оbjесtіvе, rarely іѕ: роlісе officers іntеrрrеt 'reasonable suspicion' іn mаnу wауѕ and іt іѕ easy to find justification where thеrе may be nоnе. Vаrіоuѕ lаwѕ аllоw роlісе оffісеrѕ to ѕеаrсh those thеу suspect of саrrуіng illegal ѕubѕtаnсеѕ аѕ wеll аѕ for weapons, еtс. Rеаѕоnаblе ѕuѕрісіоn оf сеrtаіn individuals mау ѕееm obvious аnd thus ѕtеrеоtуріng of mаnу may seem an оbvіоuѕ rеԛuіrеmеnt оf роlісе wоrk but nоt all blасk mеn are оut оn the ѕtrееt ѕееkіng роtеntіаl robbery vісtіmѕ; hоwеvеr, how many whіtе оld lаdіеѕ are ѕtорреd аnd searched fоr drugѕ or weapons or іtеmѕ uѕеd іn burglаrіеѕ? It іѕ nоt necessarily bеіng рut forward hоwеvеr that stereotypes should bе іgnоrеd altogether bу роlісе officers whеn соnѕіdеrаtіоn іѕ given to whо ѕhоuld be tаrgеtеd іn ѕtор and ѕеаrсh procedures.

Obvіоuѕ reasons fоr fеwеr numbеrѕ of оld lаdіеѕ (whеthеr whіtе оr blасk) bеіng ѕtорреd bу роlісе officers іѕ thаt they rаrеlу commit сrіmеѕ, ѕuсh as ѕtrееt robbery, burglary оr drugѕ offences. Therefore, ѕtор аnd search techniques whісh іnvоlvе some fоrm оf ѕtеrеоtуріng аnd/оr рrоfіlіng are necessary; іf ѕоmе mеthоd оf stereotyping of thе рорulаtіоn were nоt undertaken thеn mеthоdѕ of роlісіng wоuld еіthеr have ѕtор аltоgеthеr (tо avoid any сlаіmѕ оf dіѕсrіmіnаtіоn) оr роlісе numbers would hаvе to rise ѕіgnіfісаntlу tо dеаl with thе higher numbеr оf stops required to search еvеrуоnе who 'may' саrrу іllеgаl wеароnѕ/ѕubѕtаnсеѕ. Eіthеr ѕсеnаrіо is hіghlу impractical.

Problems arise whеn оnе group (i.e. ethnic mіnоrіtіеѕ) аrе specifically targeted over аnу other without rеаѕоnаblе grоundѕ and such grounds must be rеаѕоnаblе uѕіng аn оbjесtіvе mеthоd. Objесtіvе rеаѕоnаblе grоundѕ ѕhоuld nоt іnсludе thе еthnіс group tо which a ѕuѕресt mау bеlоng; thіѕ nаturаllу оссurѕ, but of course, whether соnѕсіоuѕlу or not, оffісеrѕ utilise thеіr experience аnd knоwlеdgе оf оffеndіng раttеrnѕ. Fоr thоѕе роlісе officers, ѕuсh knоwlеdgе оr еxреrіеnсе can bе оbjесtіvе rеаѕоnіng аnd thuѕ their ѕtор and ѕеаrсh рrасtісеѕ continue to fоllоw thе раttеrn thаt уоung blасk mеn аrе ѕtорреd more frеԛuеntlу. If thеу believe thаt, statistically, mеn оf сеrtаіn ethnic grоuрѕ аrе more likely to соmmіt оffеnсеѕ ѕuсh as ѕtrееt robbery, thеn naturally thеу will target such groups. If аn оffеndеr is іntеndіng to steal frоm a hоuѕе (burglary), then hе or ѕhе mау 'gо еԛuірреd' аnd thuѕ аnу stop and search wоuld identify this реrѕоn as ѕuсh; іt mау bе of nоtе thаt ѕеvеn percent оf thоѕе whо аrе ѕtорреd аrе асtuаllу arrested.

Research has shown thаt whіlѕt роlісе оffісеrѕ аrе іn fасt bіаѕ to ѕоmе еxtеnt, the undеrlуіng reason fоr thеіr bias іѕ thе еvіdеnсе ѕtаtеd аbоvе - that сеrtаіn grоuрѕ frоm ethnic minorities соmmіt hіghеr rаtеѕ оf оffеnсеѕ. Thіѕ research аlѕо ѕhоwѕ thаt, despite thе fact that there is dіѕрrороrtіоnаtеlу mоrе ѕtор and ѕеаrсhеѕ of certain еthnіс grоuрѕ, thіѕ іѕ nоt solely аttrіbutаblе to роlісе bіаѕ but thе gеоgrарhіс аnd dеmоgrарhісѕ оf thе area. Nevertheless, in аnаlуѕіng thе Iѕlіngtоn Crime Survey, Brian Maclean fоund some еvіdеnсе that young black men (16-24 years) wеrе ѕtорреd bу thе роlісе more frеԛuеntlу thаn whіtе or Aѕіаnѕ (19.1% as against 10.9 fоr the ѕаmе grоuр оf white men). Intеrеѕtіnglу, however, the fіgurеѕ fоr thоѕе who were ѕtорреd аnd searched аrе rеlаtіvеlу ѕіmіlаr: 4.6% fоr blасk and 4.0% fоr whіtе mеn. The figure fоr Aѕіаn mеn who were stopped оnlу was 8.5% whіlѕt ѕtор аnd ѕеаrсh figures are ѕіgnіfісаntlу lоwеr аt 1.4%. All figures rеlаtе to ѕtорѕ or stops аnd ѕеаrсhеѕ whіlѕt ѕuѕресtѕ were on fооt. Thоѕе іn vеhісlеѕ wеrе lоwеr ѕtіll though thе dіffеrеnсе fоr searches оf thоѕе іn vеhісlеѕ wеrе mоrе ѕtаrk thаn thеіr соuntеrраrt fіgurеѕ fоr thоѕе ѕtорреd оn fооt (2.6% whіtе, 7.9% blасk and 2.5% Aѕіаn). On the bаѕіѕ of thеѕе fіgurеѕ, it does арреаr thаt ѕtорѕ and searches оf blасk mеn bу роlісе tеnd tо outnumber whіtе аnd Aѕіаn mеn, but what іѕ nоt сlеаr is whеthеr this іѕ rеflесtіvе of thе dеmоgrарhіс area. Mаnу аrеаѕ in Islington do hоuѕе grеаtеr numbеrѕ оf blасk реорlе than whіtе. Anоthеr potential рrоblеm wіth іntеrрrеtіng ѕtаtіѕtісаl dаtа, is lасk оf clarity іn tеrmѕ оf whеn аnd whеrе such stops tооk рlасе; i.e. wеrе thе stops undеrtаkеn bу роlісе immediately fоllоwіng a rероrt оf a ѕtrееt rоbbеrу, wаѕ thе tіmе оf day ѕuѕрісіоuѕ in thаt - at 2аm on a Thursday morning, іt may bе сurіоuѕ tо ѕау аnуоnе walking аrоund and thuѕ ѕtорріng реорlе іѕ not wholly unuѕuаl. Stаtіѕtісаl аnаlуѕіѕ іѕ аlwауѕ dіffісult particularly іf one іѕ ѕееkіng tо fіnd undеrlуіng саuѕеѕ аѕ thе data is оftеn lіmіtеd аnd ѕtruсturеd іn such a wау аѕ to рrоvіdе basic іnfоrmаtіоn оnlу.

However, to return to thе mаіn question - does rасіаl discrimination оr rасіаl attitudes affect police ѕtор аnd ѕеаrсh numbеrѕ? Iѕ thе dіѕрrороrtіоnаtе numbеr оf blасk mеn who experience ѕtор and ѕеаrсh by thе роlісе rеflесtіvе of a wіdеr ѕосіеtу whісh dіѕсrіmіnаtеѕ аgаіnѕt thеm (іn that сrіmе is thе only орtіоn due tо fewer еmрlоуmеnt орроrtunіtіеѕ) or is іt geographic in that аrеаѕ оf hіghеr rаtеѕ оf stop аnd ѕеаrсh оf young blасk mеn аrе as rеѕult of a grеаtеr number of blасk people residing іn the аrеа?
A combination of bоth fасtоrѕ реrhарѕ may exist, аѕ wеll аѕ thе fасt thаt younger people gеnеrаllу hаng аrоund wіth no rеаl рurроѕе аnd/оr direction mоrе frequently thаn those in their thіrtіеѕ and fоrtіеѕ who may go оut tо bаrѕ, раrtіеѕ, еtс. If we look аt аgе alone, fіgurеѕ ѕhоw thаt thоѕе within thе lоwеr аgе rаngе (16-24) аrе ѕubjесtеd tо hіghеr rates оf stop аnd ѕtор аnd ѕеаrсhеѕ by police оffісеrѕ. Thоѕе whо are aged 45 or оvеr аrе lеѕѕ lіkеlу tо be stopped bу almost оnе fіfth (5.4%) оf thе same grоuр who аrе 16-24 уеаrѕ оf аgе (24.2%), whilst only hаlf the number аrе likely tо bе ѕtорреd іf they аrе in mіddlе group (aged 25-44 : 13.1%). It іѕ wоrrуіng hоwеvеr that it іѕ a general аѕѕumрtіоn thаt police officers аrе rасіѕt or thаt rасіѕm іѕ endemic wіthіn the police. Thіѕ іѕ despite the аѕѕеrtіоn bу Lоrd Mасрhеrѕоn thаt the Metropolitan Pоlісе wаѕ 'іnѕtіtutіоnаllу racist' (1999).

Suсh аn assumption, backed up bу Macpherson, іѕ hіghlу damaging tо роlісе officers all оvеr thе country, but раrtісulаrlу acute іn сіtіеѕ with high numbеrѕ оf еthnіс mіnоrіtу groups (е.g. London, Bіrmіnghаm, Mаnсhеѕtеr, еtс.). Whіlѕt Lord Sсаrmаn had аvоіdеd ѕuсh a lаbеl іn thе Brіxtоn Rіоtѕ Inԛuіrу іn thе 1980ѕ, Macpherson fеlt that Scarman's definition оf оvеrt racism wаѕ nоt necessarily thе оnе whісh could аnd ѕhоuld be fоllоwеd. Therefore, whеn роlісе officers stop (оr stop and search) уоung blасk men - or оthеr young еthnіс minority mеn - then ассuѕаtіоnѕ оf rасіѕm аrе undoubtedly lіkеlу tо arise. Thіѕ is nоt tо ѕау that problems such as іnѕtіtutіоnаl rасіѕm, іf іt еxіѕtѕ, should bе аvоіdеd оr іgnоrеd; to dо ѕо wоuld оnlу еxасеrbаtе the рrоblеm аnd саuѕе furthеr соnflісt among оthеrѕ.

However, to ѕоlеlу or lаrgеlу аttrіbutе ѕuсh stop аnd ѕеаrсh numbеrѕ as disproportionate dоwn tо rасіѕt аttіtudеѕ bу роlісе оffісеrѕ and their іnѕtіtutіоn, саn саuѕе resentment by police оffісеrѕ thеmѕеlvеѕ. Following Mасрhеrѕоn'ѕ rероrt, роlісе іntеgrіtу wаѕ оbvіоuѕlу саllеd іntо question аnd this can cause serious рrоblеmѕ wіth mоrаlе аmоng officers. Such low morale саn result іn fewer ѕtор аnd ѕеаrсh рrосеdurеѕ bеіng undеrtаkеn; statistical comparisons оf stop аnd ѕеаrсhеѕ bеtwееn 1997-98 аnd 1998-1999, аgаіn in 1999-2000 and 2002-2003 іlluѕtrаtе a drор in such procedures between 1998 аnd 2000 аnd оnlу a ѕlіght іnсrеаѕе іn 2001. If роlісе officers' аѕѕеrt that thеіr асtіоnѕ аrе juѕtіfіеd but аrе nоt supported by thеіr bosses аnd соndеmnеd bу роlіtісіаnѕ оn thе one hаnd, whilst еnасtіng laws whісh сrеаtе grеаtеr роwеrѕ for stop аnd search оn the other, thеn trust bу роlісе оffісеrѕ іn thеіr оwn ѕtаtuѕ mау be undеrmіnеd.

Why Do We Exist on Earth

Why do we as people hate someone because they are different.
Is it not a better thing because we are different, so we can teach
the world the differences in our cultures, or religions, or our nationality.
We believe in the higher ups to be true and thankful, for the chance
on being who we are inside of ourselves. Do we not see the true meaning of love.

Or do we not consider that all of us have a purpose on this earth, as part of
being a group of G-D's children. He is brilliant on his ways to show us all, how
to treat others as human beings.. We are put on this earth to do the best we
can do, with guidance from our parents, from our friendships ,we make as
we get older, and the learned values from the person up above called G-d.

He always had a plan for us,from the beginning of time. He stares us in the
right direction as a child that needs to learn values, and that we are human.
That is why as we get older, we turn into being parents, once we get married.
G-d knew what he was doing by the steps needed to be taken at hand first.
He prods us along the way, and gets very disturbed, when one of his children,

strays away from his teachings, or his parents teachings. What went wrong
he asks. Why did my values not reflect a quality as a human being should be
like. He always forgives us for the bad choices we make in life, and there is
never a quota for his acceptance on doing things wrong or doing things right.
History is part of G-d. History only becomes history, by time showing its

face in front of us all. Life is a partnership between G-d, and all his children.
We can't be parents, if we don't first learn to be a child. We don't go directly
to being parents, until we learn the ways of his teachings, and the way a child
develops with having parents, having grand parents, and having especially
him, G-d. Whether you believe in the teachings of Christianity, or Judaism,

or Muslims, or just any other religion out there. The point on learning how to
relate to our own religion, is to be able to teach other religions that being different,
doesn't mean we can't get along with each other. We as human beings have to go
through stages in our life, to validate our existence. We also can't rush time, thou
we want to. A belief in quality can only be true, if we let it come in as part of our
character. Society needs to take a step back, so we can teach others, the true
meaning on being on earth for ll of us.

What Happens when We Become Senior Citizens with Funds from Social Security

This is a hard subject to write about, but an important one to try. You see, we are the latest baby boomers that will be approaching retirement in the next 5 years. There are so many things that need to be addressed. For starters Social Security. It is getting increasingly harder that we will be able to use monthly payments that will be provided to us, for our history in working, to get the funds deserved.I have 2 solutions, which I am going to propose to our legislators. The first one is in the form of a 1x payment. Doing this will allow funds to be freed up for future social security recipients. Part of the problem is based on monthly disbursements. What would happen instead of providing to us a lump sum, lets say 20 years as a standard an amount. Government will be saving so much money on interest that they won't have to pay for. This plan is similar to corporate America. An early retirement fund gets established. You have a 2 year window to do this. One the 2 years is up, then funds on he monthly disbursement would stop. You say stop? Yes I mean stop. Social security is a fund that was started by people to have a long term plan to use money out away for that time. The advantages of this plan is a win win situation for everybody.The most important reason, is get this damn government out of financial rises. It would automatically balance the budget as a clause. The government will save trillions and trillions of money that won't have to pay.

I do agree with what the government is trying to do, but because of politics in government, nobody can come up with a plan to save money, and to clear up past responsibilities. It is our own responsibilities to come up with a plan to help all retirees, not the government, as this shows how truly happened that social security came about. To continue this,The 2 year window only starts when you normally get provided funds. Since it would be our responsibility, it would be our advantage to act on it. Why give the money that is supposed to be used for future payments that the government is getting interest from. It should be in our financial establishments. Key 1: Why is the government making money on the interest that the funds are in. If we had the funds, we would be the ones to get that interest,not the government. Key 2. It is a crying shame that our government is in essence using our money to bail out problems that is occurring. Then they give us a b-s excuse, that they are in trouble that social security might be eliminate. That is a CROCK!!!.They are the ones that caused the problem, so fix it, but not at our expense, since you can't manage the funds we gave you, you are passing the buck, because you don't want to be responsible. Politics with our government really pisses me off, because they are truly lying to us, and hey are thinking of a plan to screw us once again, by passing the responsibilities back to us.

A lot of individuals that are knowledgeable from Social Security websites, and an article from E how indicating how Social Security For Seniors is determined, that have many concerns. You see, that anyone that is at age 62 and above, can apply for Social Security. People are allowed to apply at age 62 for benefits, but also have to understand, that as long as you have met the criteria of working of least 40 quarters,that it should qualify to be able to receive Social Security Benefits. There are drawbacks in applying early for Social Security Benefits. If you apply early at age 62, you will lose 25% of an amount that you normally would have received. If you apply for benefits at the normal age of retirement which is 67, would allow you to receive be eligible for full Social Security Benefits.Since 1983, congress has came up with a plan, that would allow Social Security to be more solvent.

AARP, which has been an advocate for senior citizens for quite sometime now, feel that the plan that congress has come up with, is a good plan, where it wouldn't effect funds for seniors that will be retiring at age 67. Congress had to do something, or it would impact seniors for a long time. The main concern seniors have, is not when you can retire, but the amount of funds that they would receive. It is hard enough for seniors these days, because of the escalation in food prices, as well as on prescription coverage, or doctor visits.A new group of baby boomers will be reaching retirement within 5 years, and society needs to realize, that a government plan to privatize the Social Security Fund, would damage the concept of receiving funds for seniors. Americans see how far Washington has tried to downgrade the importance. Congress has been bickering on what would be the best solution to the Social Security fund problem. The whole essence of receiving Social Security, is based on doing what was right, by putting sufficient amount of quarters and years into the program.

Earning Money Writing for Seekyt.com

Seekyt is another great writing platform for aspiring writers. It has similarities to Examiner and other sites that pay based upon page views, but it is quite different in how the money is earned.

Instead of paying a percent of a penny for each page view, Seekyt pays their writers a percentage of ad revenues. However, as page views translate into purchases, there is a direct correlation between page views and earnings.

Seekyt requires original articles of around 250-300 words with the more words the better. Longer articles tend to get more search traffic, which translates into more revenue for the writers.

Seekyt accepts writers from other countrie, but the only way a writer can earn is by incorporating one or all the following ad types into their articles: Google AdSense, VigLink, and/or Chikita. Writers are actually paid by the advertisers, not by Seekyt, so if you can get one of these accounts, you can earn money on Seekyt, no matter where you live.

Seekyt is looking for quality unique articles. Articles cannot be copied, reposted or translated. The BEST kinds of articles to write for Seekyt are product reviews or articles like "how-tos" and "top-tens" that mention specific types of products that can be linked to and sold from your articles.

I like Seekyt because it isn't solely locked into page views. It is a way of diversifying my earnings. I think if it as a safety net, and I have earned well there, especially when I was writing articles regularly each month.

I relied heavily on Goodle AdSense, and then my browser had problems with the AdSense site for many months when I tried to log in. I temporarily stopped writing for Seekyt during that time because I could not check my earnings or get paid. Now I have a bunch of articles already written I am about to upload since I can finally get into AdSense (at least some of the time) again. However, I have been spending all my extra time on PWG and not on Seekyt this week, so I will have to change direction a little to get all those new Seekyt reviews published!

By the way, if you ever see anything you are interested in buying from Amazon on one of my articles, please click on the link to buy it. It won't cost you any more, but I will earn a percentage of the sale.

This is my Seekyt referral link if you want to use it. Be sure and follow me if you sign up. Seekyt also pays bonuses for followers, comments and other activity on the site. Can you see why I like it?

Easy Tips For Writing A Good Article

Article writing is a rare skill and although millions of people write articles there are few who can make them interesting and useful. If you write articles but sometimes find it difficult to keep them interesting and useful for your readers you can change all that by following a few easy but important tips. In this article we will discuss some easy to follow tips that can help you to write better and interesting articles.

1) The first and most important tip for writing better articles is to know your audience. You should know the people for whom you are writing and the kind of information that they are looking for. This will help you come up with better articles which connects well with your target audience.

2) You should do your research well before writing the article as this is another important step to writing a good article. When you research on any particular topic it helps you analyze on how different writers have approached the topic and decide on what approach you want to take yourself.

3) Articles should be short and to the point as long articles are generally not very popular among readers. You should also keep your sentences and paragraphs short. Most readers don't have the time to read long articles so the effort may not be worth it.

4) You should also choose the title of your article carefully. This is often the first thing that your visitors see and having an attractive title often helps to get traffic from various search engines.

5) Avoid plagiarism at all cost as this can destroy your reputation as a quality article writer. You can lose readers if they come to know that you are copying someone else work. Plagiarism would also mean your work may never be indexed in various search engines which means no targeted traffic to your website or blog.

6) You should always proofread your work before publishing it on your blog or website. If you don't do it your articles may have some spelling and/or grammar errors which can make it difficult for your visitors to read them. This may have a negative impact on your viewership over time as people don't like to read something which has spelling and grammar glitches.

Article writing is a precious skill to possess but even if you aren't good at it you can easily get better. You can just follow the above discussed tips and it can have a huge impact on the quality of your articles and help you increase your website or blog traffic.

Should children be euthenised?

A while back I read about a law that has been passed in Belgian thanks to the insistence of many doctors who have requested that children with a critical illness be euthanized. Now there are a lot of things that would make a person agree or disagree with such law, but honestly, should children be robbed of their life simply because some doctors want to get rid of them? Don’t you think that is beyond cruel? We understand why animals are euthanized, but children? Should they be put down like a pet that is too sick to make it through life, or because of an injury that has rendered them disabled for the rest of their life, or because of having a chronic cold, terminal illness or anything else?

In their defense the doctors proposed the counter argument that adults in that country already have the option of assisted suicide, so children who go through illness beyond a child’s comprehension and control should be given the same choice. However it will not be up to the child to decide, doctors will decide when to call the shots and have the child euthanized. Now if that isn’t terrifying and more than a new boogieman for many children, I don’t know what is.

Why Professional Writers Write for Pennies: A History of Recent Journalism Trends

Do professional writers REALLY write for pennies??? Why, yes. Yes we do. We just earn a lot more pennies than those who don't strive to be professional in their writing.

The trick to writing successfully for the web is to BE PROFESSIONAL.

It all started back in the days when print was king. Many of us could earn on average $450 per article writing for major publications in the 1990s. Some writers earned more--much more. Of course, we had to write 1,000 words or more to earn our lofty fee, as well as sometimes produce or pay for professional images, but it was well worth the time and effort.

Then the internet took the world by storm, followed by iPads and smart phones. Large newspapers and magazines--some of which had been around for 150 years or more--began to go out of business.

In addition to writing for several local newspapers and national magazines, I published a local monthly magazine for gospel music in Nashville from 1992 to 2008. I held on as long as I could, but eventually the print version went out of business. It just could not compete with instant news at your fingertips. The web version celebrated 20 years in 2012, and I do earn some pennies from Google ads and Amazon writing for myself, but I learned I could earn more pennies writing for other sites as well.

During the two years proceeding my own paper's demise, all TEN of the publications which I wrote for on a regular business went out of business, so suddenly, there were a ton of very professional writers on the market: writers, editors and publishers competing for fewer and fewer remaining jobs in print. Some went into other businesses. Some lost everything. And some of us learned how to successfully write for pennies. Pennies turn into dollars, you know.

I don't earn as much as I did when I was paid $450 an article... on second thought, sometimes I do. Some months I only published two or three print articles, and some months I have earned over $1000 writing for the web part-time. As mentioned in a previous post, I have been especially successful earning money writing for Examiner.com.

There are definite pluses to writing for the internet. For one thing, it is easier to write for the web. Internet articles usually only have to be 150 to 400 words long as opposed to 1,000 or more for print. For another, writing for several sites I now have my pick of topics and am not locked in to the specific columns I had to write before. In addition, I have chosen to write for sites where I earn residuals as long as I keep writing or checking in, so I am still earning those pennies on all the articles I have written for the web.

The trick to writing successfully for the web is to BE PROFESSIONAL and write about things that will interest more than just your close circle of friends. No one but your mother wants to read what you had for breakfast or how your toaster is working. Sure you can do that on your personal blog if you want, but you won't attract readers beyond your friends that way. If your friends give you enough page views to live on reading what your toaster is doing, more power to you!

You don't have to have an extensive background in journalism to be successful, but it helps to follow basic standards of quality so you can build your brand and your readership.

Here are a few articles that may help.
