Cruelty
cruelty. don’t talk to me about cruelty
or what i am capable of.
and i killed them. i took a broom to their country
and smashed and sliced without warning
without stopping and i smiled all the time i was doing it.
it was a holocaust of roaches, bodies,
parts of bodies, red all over the ground.
i didn’t ask their names.
they had no names worth knowing.
now i watch myself whenever i enter a room.
i never know what i might do.

Facebook keeps you alive !
quote...''Why people use Facebook or Twitter? Why people share videos, pictures and thoughts online? What pleasure do we get from the basic action of uploading a photo or sharing an idea? In the same breath one can also ask why people participate in reality shows, want to be a celebrity or even skydive? It all lies in the urgent need of every human being to feel alive.
When you upload a photo to Facebook from your last trip to NYC, you get excited. The excitement doesn’t come from clicking the mouse or commenting “I love shopping in NYC” on your keyboard. It comes from the feeling that in a few minutes (or hours) you’ll get the acknowledgement that you’re alive. When you know that people will see your photo and acknowledge your existence you feel alive. When your friend writes a response comment like “Great photo, you look amazing!” you get the feedback you needed.''

Proposed S. Korean Towers Resemble Exploding World Trade Center
quote [ The unveiling of pictures of planned luxury residential towers scheduled to be built in Seoul, South Korea, has sparked instant controversy. The reason is obvious.

Wigan 0-4 Arsenal celebrations
At full time though, the cocky Arsenal number one endeared himself to Gooners in the away end at the DW Stadium by marching over and leading them in a rendition of “We’re by far the greatest team the world has ever seen…”
With the majority of modern footballers so aloof from supporters these days, it is moments like theis that mean Szczesny is becoming a “legend” amongst Arsenal fans.

Senate Bill to OK Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Charge, Trial
quote...'In what may be a tale too bizarre to be believed by millions of Americans, the U.S. Senate appears ready to pass a bill that will designate the entire earth, including the United States and its territories, one all-encompassing “battlefield” in the global “war on terror” and authorize the detention of Americans suspected of terrorist ties indefinitely and without trial or even charges being filed that would necessitate a trial

Brazil great Socrates on life support
''Former Brazil captain Socrates is back in the hospital and on life support, though the 57-year-old's condition has shown slight improvement since being admitted Thursday.
A hospital in Sao Paulo says Socrates is suffering from septic shock resulting from an intestinal infection, with symptoms first appearing after a Thursday stroganoff dinner, according to Brazil's Globo Esporte.
Socrates was last in the hospital in September. That was for a hemorrhage caused by high pressure in the vein that carries blood from the digestive system to the liver.
Thursday's admission marks the third time this year the Brazil icon has been hospitalized for gastrointestinal problems.''

Student challenges Bachmann on marriage
I was even more stumped by the reason Bachmann gave for this: because it’s the law.A democracy is supposed to propose/change laws to fit the needs of their citizens, not to subject their citizens blindly to laws that are immutable.
The US will soon have to invade itself in the name of democracy…
