“Take from someone who just left roiworld that site has some of the most negative crazy weirdness thing you see. Sad and that people talk about sex show or draw graphic pics. Calling people out their names. And their a couple of racist on the site who will ask are you what your race..and if wrong their decline you..People get jealous of people who have lot of friends show their flag your work and you lose your points. If you start a forum and someone dont like roiworld will just deleted and not why telling you why. Oh and their suspend you if someone complain about you if another member lies about you…If your stardoll stay where at I know a whole lot of people who are deleted their acc with roiworld with all the crap going on their”

I just recently got this comment on my “Stardoll Vs Roi-world” post and it really made me think about bullying and inappropriate topics on every website around the internet.

 Now sometimes, i know its true that people take stardoll, roi-world, runescape, bebo, facebook and loads of different sites that you can create, dress-up, blog, and ect. but some people take this too seriously

For example those twitter freaks who post updates every single hour or even minutes! now that’s taking things too far but you get my point

No website is perfect, not even stardoll or roi-world and all the others ive mentioned
I’ve been called “noob”"nub”"loser”"ugly”"fat”"no-friends” on all those websites (except facebook and twitter) when i first started joining/signing up for the website but you get used to it and carry on.

Now the points she mentioned about roi-world, I’m really sorry to say this but stardoll is exactly the same, minus all the challenges and ect.

On the old animal-lovers club people used to make up sex stories and silly games for disscussions, theres bullying on the clubs which i have seen frequently, I have seen a persons profile with 30 pages of friends and who cares how many friends you have and why would someone get jealous of that anyways? You just “ask friend” and they’ll definatly accept, why woudlnt they?

People cheat on stardoll, people cheat on roi-world

People bully on stardoll, people bully on roi-world

People get jealous on stardoll, people get jealous on roi-world

People are racist on stardoll, people are racist on roi-world

The sites are basically the same, except roi-world has better dress-up dolls and on stardoll you can create your own me-doll

People take this too serouisly and if you did really care about the challenges that they have then you might need to go out and about instead of staying home on the computer/laptop (not to you, but to other girls)

It is exactly like stardoll, now half the covergirls are people who bribe other people with codes just so they can get 5/5, now this is reminder to myself;

make rating post

because i’ll definatly forget

but i enjoy playing on stardoll, and i enjoy playing on roi-world both for different reasons. Im really sorry all this happened to you on roi-world but you have the same chances of getting those things on stardoll aswell, just because you dont see it around doesnt mean it’s happening.

You don’t know how many teenage deaths over the years have happened, just because of cyber bullying, yes bebo and twitter and facebook ect. are fun but people are arrogant and take these websites too serouisly. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please look at this website

http://stopcyberbullying.org/

It sends a strong message to everyone about the causes of cyber bullying,

So thank you to the girl who posted the comment as it made me write this important post and i’m terribly sorry what happened on roi-world and i hope stardoll is okay for you now.

But you see on roi-world, im never a person who writes on their forums or comments or adds people, i just go on the website for what it’s for- Dressing up! Much more simpler that way and things dont get complicated

I’m sort of surprised the same sex marriage conversations are not evolving more quickly.  The long and short of it (to me) is this:

1. We still (sort of) live in a free country.  Government should not be denying anyone rights; we all agree on that.
2. Marriage is a sticky word – lots of religious folks want to protect it’s definition.

To me, the solution is so obvious I’m surprised we’re still talking about it.  I would love for someone to give me some real reasons with my solution explained in detail here (link) does not work for both sides.

In summary, here’s the solution: Privitise Marriage.  Get the government out of the conversation all together (State and Federal).  This would restore freedom to marriage.  This can be done a number of ways; here are two suggestions.

• Re-write the current government marriage documents and exclude the word marriage.  Write them so that they can be used in any combination.
• Remove the current marriage documents and don’t replace them with anything – get the government away from marriage.  We really should not need the government’s permission to get married.  I understand marriage is related to property but there are other, smarter ways around that.

IT WOULD WORK, RIGHT?

For the folks in favor of same sex marriage:

• Equality is achieved.
• Federal and State documents ether don’t exist, or are identical regardless if the union is same sex, or opposite sex.  The word “marriage” does not exist in government documents.
• Religious organizations have the freedom (regardless of what state they are in) to perform same sex marriages, or not perform same sex marriages thus respecting their religious freedom.
• Same sex couples can choose to get married at the places that choose to perform the ceremony.  It can be called anything in the world.  Party, marriage, celebration, union, lemon, whatever.

For the folks who do not support same sex marriage:

• Marriage is protected, and can be defined by your specific religious organization.
• Marriage is no longer a government word, and it’s name or definition will not be changed by the government.
• Religious organizations exist that do not allow same sex marriages which are an option for membership.

BUT WHAT WOULD SCHOOLS TEACH?

Because marraige would no longer be a federal or state issue, marriage would not come up in the classroom at all.  The only thing they could really teach would be the legal documents that replace the old marriage documents (if they even need to exist) but I don’t think schools would waste valuable time teaching that.  What would they teach… where to fill in the names?  As there is no lesson on W-10’s or other government forms I’m sure the new union documents would be left out of the classroom.

OK folks, so let me have it.  How does this not resolve the issue…?

Miss California - Carrie Prejean

So by now everyone has heard about the Perez Hilton/Carrie Prejean scandal.  There are three issues at work here.

1. Asking the question.
2. The answer.
3. The response to the answer.

Firstly, asking this question.  Let’s say Perez Hilton asked this “what are your personal beliefs on abortion?”  I think we would all agree that question is in appropriate.  Simularly, asking if same sex marriage should be legalized in all 50 states is also a very polorizing, highly opinion based question.  If I was Miss CA, I would have smiled, waived, and said “world peace.”

Second, the answer was actually pretty good.  She said she loves that we live in a land where people can choose.  Ok, I guess people can sort of choose because they could move to one of the states that allow same sex marriage… I do agree that same sex couples really don’t have much of a right to choose right now.  I personally think that’s a shame as we live in a country that really is supposed to be free.  Please see my previous posts on same sex marriage. So granted, that part of the answer was not spot on since the freedom for same sex couples is pretty limited right now.  None the less, she at least aknowledged that there are some options.

Then, since it was an opinion question, she gave her opinion: that marriage in her opinion was between a

Some guy... blogger I think.

man and a woman.  She did even say “I don’t want to offend anyone out there.”  She did not say anything negative about homosexual people, for all we know she has many homosexual friends.  She just commented on her personal opinion regarding marriage (which is the same opinion of Barack Obama, by the way) as she was requested to do.  I don’t see any fault there.

Thirdly the response.  This is where everyone finally is beginning to see what I have been saying for years.  Perez Hilton is nuts, crude, rude, and worse for society than MTV (and that’s saying a lot).  KEEP IN MIND, MY OPINION OF PEREZ HILTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS SEXUAL ORIENTATION.  If he was straight, or asexual I would think exactly the same of him.  He’s a blog version of the worst types of tabloid magazine.  I think his site is a plague on culture in the same way celebrity magazines are, and in the same way MTV is.  His actions are not shocking to me at all, unfortunately.

I say this – for every minute that people want to spend reading tabloid blogs or magazines, remember the people who are dying of thirst in other countries and spend some time thinking about them, perhaps donating some money.  I’m telling you, these celebrities are a terrible distraction from very significant things that are happening in the world.  Real people need our help.

Cuckoo and Hook are not the same.  I know they sound similar, but they are different.  Your crane does not have a cuckoo on the end.

Well this album came out on November 10th, but I think it needs to be reviewed.  Bon Jovi’s eleventh album is “The Circle.”  The title does sum up what this band has done in their career.  This album is a mixture of original Bon Jovi rock and a little bit of country style.  The do tend to on the song “When We Were Beautiful” sound a little bit like U2.  On some of the songs it seems like they took  country songs and changed the words a bit and added a rock beat.  I do like how they did this, but it doesn’t seem like a different direction.  It is just a compilation of all their work.  I do like the different work that they have done, but this really is not that much of a new sound.  If your looking to get this album still consider your tastes.  If you are more of into the old eighty’s type Bon Jovi you may want more of a song like “Thorn in my Side.”  And if you like more of the country rock version you may want “Work for the Working Man.”

Overall this is an average album for Bon Jovi.  The title says it all that they have come full circle with a mash of all Bon Jovi sounds.

Things are just going in circles. They never stop for a change.

No matter how I tried, it’s still the same, old, repeated outcome.

Maybe I’m happy for a while, just that short while. But things will just rewind back to the same sad moments.

Circles never end. They just continue repeating the same old things.

I’m just strange. I don’t understand alot of things, not even myself.

I just kept thinking of reasons, enough to deceive myself.

No one will ever understand me or even try to. People just don’t give a damn.

You can hear it can’t you? Clean dark medieval sound that once was lost and is coming back in the souls and expression of the Eleventh Sun. You can feel it can’t you; ripping inside of you telling you that you need more of this shaded signal. You can see it can’t you? The darkness shows you the truth; that the light hides when darkness comes; telling you that there will be more to come, more to hear, more to see.

We are proud to present the newest forthcoming release of the Eleventh Sun ‘Everybody Bleeds the Same EP’. This one is something new and innovative yet still keeping the vibe. DARK! …..COMING THIS DECEMBER

The Cribs are some busy guys. They just announced a new north america tour.
Anyway, they also released a video for ‘We Share The Same Skies’

Yesterday, Twitter started to officially roll out its own retweet function that has been the cause of some serious consternation from the Twittersphere (or whatever silly term you want to apply to the Twitter community).

Before we go into any detail please note the following and make sure you filter your reactions through the most important piece of data that you will need to know about this whole thing: you don’t have to use the new function. You can do whatever you want with regard to keeping your version of the status quo or adopting Twitter’s new retweet function. Also, this is not the final product as Evan Williams points out in his explanation of this overly controversial move by Twitter.

Overly controversial? Yup. While this can be viewed as a fundamental shift in how Twitter is used it’s not like some heavy-handed edict has been passed down to the users of Twitter in a “it is what it is” manner. No, it’s just another option. If you feel the need to complain even knowing this piece of information then you are likely to be the lottery winner that would say “Gee, if only I had won it last week I would have had more”. In other words, you probably complain about everything.

Back to the story. TechCrunch sums up the changes as follows

If you do happen to have it now, here’s a few interesting notes about the new feature (at least on twitter.com):

First, there is a new Retweets area in the right side bar. This allows you to see “Retweets by others”, “Retweets by you”, and “Your tweets, retweeted”. While the UI for the main homepage retweets can be a bit confusing at times, this Retweet area is laid out pretty nicely, as it is easy to see who exactly retweeted what.

Second, as co-founder Evan Williams noted today, there is an easy way to turn off retweets from individual users. Simply click on their profile and make sure the Retweet logo (the circular arrows) below their name is not highlighted green. This means that it’s off and you will not see Retweets from that user in your timeline. That’s great for users who go overboard with the feature and muck up your stream.

Third, if you do hate the new Retweet way, just don’t use it. Nothing is stopping you from still using the “RT …” syntax. The new Retweets simply give you an easy way to highlight something to your followers with the click of a button.

I HIGHLY recommend you visit the Ev Williams blog post for his complete explanation of the who, what, where and why of this change. Otherwise, this truly is what it is. Twitter has simply recognized that their third party developer and user system has created something of value. They are now trying to corral it in the best way they know how and leaving it open for debate and use. It’s actually that simple.

The Cribs performed ‘We Share The Same Skies’ on David Letterman november 12. Enjoy below!

Aww, ain’t Ross a cutie?! I’m really looking forward to see them support Franz Ferdinand next week, they’re a wonderful live band with a lot of energy!

You know, never thought I’d see the day when Paul Mero and the Sutherland Institute split from the LDS (Mormon) Church.

Earlier this week LDS Inc supported the Salt Lake City Council in passing fair workplace and housing ordinances, making it illegal in Salt Lake City to deny a person housing or a job based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Ironically, two of the loudest and brash local anti-humanity groups who normally use the Mormon Church as their claim to morality broke sides with the Church that they claim to believe is always in the right. The “America Forever” Rodriguez family spoke out immediately at the public hearing before the City Council but although Sutherland’s Jeffrey Reynolds was in the crowd, Sutherland did not immediately made a statement.

November 10th however, featured a small statement hidden away on one of their sub pages saying that the LDS Church’s view on the matter was “parochial” and essentially incorrect as allowing someone who is LGBT to keep their home can only lead to same-sex marriage. They went on to say that the Church’s statement were just a PR stunt and that the LDS leadership is just trying to “assuage the minds and soften the hearts of advocates of “gay rights” in Utah.”

Now the critical bit about this new statement from the “Meronites” is the essential bond that has always existed between Sutherland and the Mormon Church. The vast majority of Sutherland’s “constituents” are faithful LDS members, which means that Sutherland is now in essence trying to “lead the flock away” from the teachings of the prophet. Wait… did Mero just join the dark side? How will he answer that fun fun temple recommend question that questions if he is associated with any organization that goes against what the Church has said?

Well either way, I don’t know where Sutherland can go from here as they may quickly find out what happens to organizations that aren’t on the same side as the Mormons in Utah. I wonder if their followers will catch on, or if Sutherland will sweep this under the rug and pretend like the Church never spoke at all?

Arguably the top band ever to come from the North Country. Gord Downie’s haunting lyrics along with his echoing voice have made the Hip a staple in any true Canadians list of bands. To see the Hip play live anywhere 100 miles away from the Canadian border is a spectacle for any fan. When I saw them in Boston at the House of Blues this past spring, I was standing litterally 10 feet away from the legend known as Gord Downie as he whaled out a setlist of 25+ songs. The new album, We Are The Same, released in 2009, has many hidden gems that will just add to the continuing success of these indie-Canadian rockers. This happens to be my favorite of many off the album…and go figures, they opened with it that night and I was stuck in a cab trying to give the goddamn cabbie directions to the venue. Luckily, I also have the bootleg from the show. Enjoy the Studio version for now. I’m shutting it down for the night. I’m Beat. Keep on rocking and smoke em if you got em.
