What am I politically ? Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Liberal, Conservative or something else ?
I am politically confused. I want to where do I lean ? SO I i am going to write down the major issues and where I stand,, and I want YOU guys to decide for me based on what I write for ALL the issues and decice what am I ?

Foreign Policy/Terrorism:
I think we should fight Al-Qaeda and the Taliban whereve it is, and kill its members without mercy, but we should not invade countries that have nothing to do Al-Qaeda like Iraq(Hussen was a moderate muslim) or Iran(they are shia, not sunni). But I do agree with Afghanistan’s mission and wish we send more troops.
Israel must be supported but talking with rogue leaders should be given a chance. We also must maintain are nuclear capability and never surrende it.
America should work with its allies, but it should also put pressure on them to share burdens. We should have a New World Older and help in humanitarian mission, but not take sides in a civil war.

Healthcare:
I think people should choose what they want. If people can afford private insurance, they should have it. If people cannot afford, there should be options for poor people. I also think government should be involved to an extent and make sure people, especially women remain slim, and don’t get fat, cause we lack having thin women.Veterans should be treated with more respect, and have half price on medical costs. Also doctors cannot be sued for no reason. That must stop. There must be tort reform. Only doctors that are reckless without any regard should be sued.

Education:
Teachers should be paid more if they are good teachers. Period. Good teaching means the kids learn and do well in class. There should be extra help provided to students in case they don’t understand the material. Critical thinking skills and logic must be taught early in a child’s life to prepare them for standardized tests. Also Corporal punishment like caning should be used on parents not involved in kids education. Evolution and sex eduaction must be taught in school. Reasonable accomodation should be provided to kids that wish to pray. Gay curriculum like that penguin book is not needed in schools. Gays only need to be mentioned during Sex ed. Our budget must spend more on education and work-fare programs for those that are are not sure of college should be allowed.

Gun Control:
People should have whatever guns even assault rifles, BUT as long as they pass strict background tests. If people are found to be reckless, they have no business having guns. Also no hard drug users should ever have guns. Drug testing should be required.

Energy:
We must invest in many forms of alternative energy. Oil should not be the only one. More experimentation and exploration needs to be done. At the same time, there should be investment in Euroepan and Japanese style of high speed rail and urban transportation to Europeanize American cities. The Amtrak Acela is a joke. It’s not real HSR. Real HSR means 250 mph to 300 mph. Even China has us beat on this. I am not talking about coast to coast, but regional services like in the Northeast, Southwest, Northwest, Midwest, and Southeast should have high speed rail corridors. Eminent domain must be used and protests against this should be crushed brutally. We must have more urban transportation European/Japan style transporation in other cities of America as well aside from NYC, Chicago, Boston, and DC.

Economy:
Capitalism and free markets shouhd be allowed but with reason. Local and small business must never be allowed to suffer.Compeition is key. A McDonalds or Wallmart cannot for example move nearby a 100 year old bar/restaraunt or a mom and pop shop . It will destroy business. There should be free trade, but CEOs cannot make indiscriminate amounts of money or cheat people to make their profits.
1 or 2 Months of paid vacaction should be allowed in workers of high skilled jobs.

Crime/Judical:
Death penalty should be reserved for those that commit cold, calutated, pre-mediated and heinous crimes. If a a gunman robs a shop, and kills the clerk cause the clerk grabbed his gun, that is not enough to sentence to death, life in prison is enough, BUT if the gunman ties the clerk up , after the clerk surrendered the money, and shoots, him, then the gunman should get automatic death. Child molesters(those that commit crimes to kids under 12) should be sent to work labor camps. Judges that give light sentencesd to them should join them in those camps.

Immigration: There must be a large wall on the southern border due to the high crime rate. It must be large enough that they cannot cross. Coast guard must increase patrols in our water. LEGAL immigration is fine as long as people wait in line. Foreign students studying engineering or medicine with good grades that graduate with a Masters or MD should have the right to be U.S. citizens because they will contribute greatly. For unskilled workers, a guest worker program should be allowed since there are cer

Ratz gave a good site, check out the political compass, it’ll give you an idea about where your beliefs lie in reference to well known political figures.
Vitki | Dec 21, 2009

My advice – don’t just take one politics test, because sometimes different tests touch on different issues and you can be slanted one way or another based on the authors of those tests. Take a few and weigh the results.

Here’s the best I can help:

Foreign Policy: I think you can generally expect support on both sides from continued Al-Qaeda pursuit. Republicans are a little more ready to ride solo than Dems, so I’d say your a moderate Dem here.

Healthcare: Your opinions on public option place you in the far-left Dem/socialist area.

Guns: Standard Republican all the way. I’m actually pro-firearm dem myself, yeah we do exist.

Energy: Both sides would agree with you on the need for alternative energy, but I think you would garnish more from Dems because tons of Reps want to keep drilling for oil on our soils. Your stance on Eminent Domain is extreme socialist. High speed rail and mass transit is definately the next big thing (coming from a civil engineer) although I’m not sure you’re going to have trouble operating cross-state Midwest and Near West systems without government subsidy: read, you’re a Democrat here. The key issue is that these systems need a dense user base and that just simply doesn’t exist sometimes. Thats why they work well in Europe and Japan and exist on the East coast, but not in the middle states.

Economy:

Neither Dem or Republican really – CLinton was a free market idealist as a dem. Are you in support of raising minimum wage? Limiting CEO wages is very liberal also.

Crime:

I’d venture to say you’re in the Dem category here.

Immigration:

Republican

I would also through a social category in here: Pro life or pro choice? Those issues.

Good luck!

In a Dark Place (2006)

IMDB rating: 4.40

Plot: She thought she was their Guardian Angel, but was she really their Nanny from Hell? A chilling modern ghost story, inspired by a classic of the genre, In A Dark Place is the suspenseful, erotic story of a young woman fighting to redeem the souls of two children seduced by dark influences beyond the grave. Anna Veigh, a recently qualified art therapist and teacher, is finding work at her inner city special school a tougher psychological challenge than she can cope with. The offer of a new post minding two wealthy young orphans whilst their wealthy uncle is away on business seems a perfect escape for her. It is a welcome escape. Her new workplace is Bly House, a remote country estate with beautiful grounds and a small resident staff. Miles and Flora, the children, seem sweet and charming, if a little strange, and Anna thinks that she has really “landed on her feet” after the rigors of her previous job. The only fly in the ointment is the frosty estate manager, Miss Grose, who seems remote and unfriendly to the new arrival. Very soon, moreover, Anna makes disquieting discoveries. Miles, the boy, has been expelled from his school, for a sin so dreadful the headmaster will not even discuss it. Anna then learns that her predecessor in the job, one Miss Jessel, died in suspicious circumstances. To add to her unease, she begins to catch glimpses of unknown sinister figures lurking in the grounds, but nobody else admits to seeing them. Anna confronts the Miss Grose with her suspicions about these intruders, but is surprised by the force of Miss Grose’s reaction. The figures Anna describes are unmistakably those of two ex-employees at the house. The only problem is that these employees are dead. Anna senses that the ghostly manifestations are malevolent in their intent. Not only is the psychological welfare of the children in very real jeopardy, but their lives and their souls are also at risk. But Anna is forced to confront dark secrets buried deep in her own psyche as she fights to cleanse the children’s souls of darkness, with terrifying consequences for all concerned.

Please read and comment on this writing?
Ever since Andy was born, his parents always wanted him to be the best at everything. When he was three years old, his father was already enrolling him in the Indiana Youth Soccer League team. When he was five, his mother signed him up for piano and flute lessons, wanting to make sure that she had a little child prodigy in the house. When he was eight years old, he had already won the second grade science fair, making him the top of his class. By the time he was eleven years old, he had already obtained fifteen awards and trophies from playing soccer. He kept all of his awards in the glass display case in his room.

Every kid he had known thought he was perfect due to his talent in soccer, playing the piano, and being a science whiz. But it was hard work for Andy. When he was three years old, he had to be trained day and night in order to be in tiptop shape for soccer. It did come with benefits, however. Now a days, he was able to be strong and impress the girls out on the soccer field. He was practically the best on all of his soccer teams. If he didn’t show up for a game, the team would be toast. He didn’t understand why his parents didn’t make Ariel or Rebecca do all the things Andy did. It was as if they were always focusing on him rather than Ariel and Rebecca. Even Ariel spoiled him like rotten bananas sitting on the counter for six weeks.

But sitting in Algebra class didn’t make him feel spoiled, special, or even a child prodigy at all. Math was his worst enemy. Hearing his Algebra teacher, Ms. Rosenthal, an obviously unmarried woman with stringy, gray hair, pale skin, horn-rimmed glasses, and an extremely long neck drawl on and on about the first semester was really getting to him. Not even the fact that he was sitting next to Palma Voorhees, the hot girl from The Netherlands who Maris had adopted as a new bff, could cheer him up. He put his head down on the desk, trying to tune out Ms. Rosenthal’s drawls.

"Young man." Rosenthal said semi-sternly. "Please put your head up. It’s rude to sleep while someone’s talking."
"I wasn’t sleeping." said Andy. "I was just resting my head."
"Be that as it may," Rosenthal went on, "you can’t even appear to be sleeping. Now put your head up."
A few students in his class laughed.

He leaned in towards Palma. "Alright, you get behind and I’ll push."
Palma laughed. "She’s not that bad."
"Are you kidding me?" asked Andy. "She’s a monster."
"She’s just stern." assured Palma. "Besides, I kind of like her."
"Well, it’s only the first day with her." said Andy. "I guess I can give her a try."
"Sweet." she said, filing her poppy-pink colored fingernails with her blue nail filer.
Andy didn’t know that much about her except that she was a soccer player just like him and that she enjoyed swimming. But he knew her long enough to catch on that she always gave people the benefit of the doubt. She certainly always gave Maris the benefit of the doubt even when Maris did something extreme such as writing nasty comments in the girls’ honesty boxes on Facebook or doing something to piss Holly off.
He loved Maris too death, but like the rest, he was ready to throw her off of a high platform.

Rosenthal handed Andy four copies of a paper with math problems on it. He took one and handed the rest to the student behind him. Looking at the problems, he couldn’t believe his eyes. They were all variables and no numbers. Adding numbers was one thing, but adding letters was hell. Then to make matters worse, you had to add, subtract, and then divide.

Despite Rosenthal’s class being colorful and vibrant (with its purple wall paint, multicolored carpet, and pictures of former students that dated all the way back to the mid-nineties on the huge bulletin board that was hammered on the wall behind her desk), Andy was still bored.

"Is everything alright, Andy?" Rosenthal asked concernedly.
"Yeah, I’m fine." he lied. "Just tired."
"Well, next time don’t stay up all night texting your buddies." she said, chuckling at her own "joke".
"This is gonna be a long semester." he sighed to Palma, who was now wrapped up in her new iPhone that Maris was so "kind" enough to buy her. Andy knew that Maris was only into helping the foreign girl because she thought it would improve her chances in to getting into Notre Dame.

Andy and Palma met up with Lucas and Maris near the two water fountains after class.
"Math was a drag." complained Andy. "That woman gave us a five paged packet to do for homework. And I’m supposed to be the smart Jew, here."
"Too bad your teacher wasn’t hot like my Algebra teacher Ms. Smith." Lucas said sympathetically.
"I wish I was you." Andy said. "My teacher wouldn’t even let me fall asleep in her class. Do you have any idea how hard it is to go through the trials and tribulations of sitting in that class?"
"I can help you." offered Maris, tying her hair into a side ponytail. "I get A’s in everything like math, science, English, hi
"I can help you." offered Maris, tying her hair into a side ponytail. "I get A’s in everything like math, science, English, history, art, and any other course you could think of."
"Thanks a lot, Mare." he said, and meant it.

"No problem!" she said cheerily. "I’ll help you on your homework this afternoon if you can come over."

"Yeah, okay, but I have soccer practice from three-thirty to five forty-five. So maybe I can come around 6:00?"

"Sounds like a date." Maris said, flashing him a bright smile.

Andy knew that working with Maris would get him a passing grade. She had a way of making learning fun. He tried asking Holly for help on his homework the grade before, but she was always yelling at him whenever he got an answer wrong. He never went to his parents for help because their way of teaching was always going the long and difficult way. Especially his father. He would spend an hour explaining how to do a simple two minute problem. Andy never had the time for that. So he would
So he would always rely on his friends to help him.

"Well, I guess I’ll see you later." Andy said, dismissing himself from the group.

"Where are you going?" asked Palma.

"To homeroom." he said. "Like you, Mare, Lucas, and everyone else in this building."

"Who do you have?" asked Lucas. "Cause I have Decker."

"I have Sells." answered Andy. "I heard Decker was supposed to be cool though. Carter told me he’s just as cool as our eigth grade science teacher."
He remembered last year when his science teacher, Mr. Quinn, would bring in his pet iguana, Iggy, every Friday and would allow to play with t it. There were times when he would take the class to field trips such as the power plant, science museum, and the Electric Company where everyone would be wowed at all the amazing things he would show them. Andy had a close bond with Quinn and even had his phone number saved into his phone. He had promised him that he would call him every once in a while.
"Yeah, me too." Maris said, waving at Gigi and Melissa who were in a deep discussion with Jen over by the staircase. "I have him for third period history."

"I love you, Marebear." Andy said, high-fiving her. "So do I."

"Awesome!" she cheered, hugging him once more, this time prolonging it.

"Bye, Andy." she said, letting go of him.

"See you next period." he said, and then adding, "I’ll text you in class."

He took out his iPhone, put the earphones into his ears, and started blaring Wu-Tang Clan’s "Can It All Be So Simple" through it.

One of the good things about Paramount was that if you texted during class, it was very unlikely to get caught by the teacher if you were able to conceal the cell phone properly. That was something he had learned from his upperclassmen friend, Kevin Presley.

"Come here, Palma." he said, wrapping his arms around Palma’s neck. "I’ll walk you to class."

"Alright." she said happily.

Lucas winked at Andy as the two walked away.

Actors: AnimationFamily,Drama,

How well do you think I wrote this?
First of all, I know some things are out of place or incorrect. I’ll be editing in when I have more time. This is only the prologue to a story I’m writing. For any further question, just ask me.

Here’s my writing

My alarm went off, the loud beeps bringing me back into reality. I was already awake from the sun beaming through my window, but I just pulled the covers over my head to make it seem like night again. I didn’t want to get up just yet, I was having a nice dream. I was having a dream that I was a mother deer playing in a bright and colorful field with my foal, much like that one scene from Bambi. It felt strange that I had a dream over something I watched a year ago. Then again, the film got me interested with nature and it’s beauty. About a month after I watched "Bambi" stop by the library after school and checked out books on forest life, animal encyclopedias, and anything I could fine that taught me more about the world outside the city-life I knew. Okay, I don’t live in a city but I do live in a suburb that happens to be in the country side, but whose to argue. I grew up getting my food from the store, milk from a carton, and never knowing where it really came from. I knew that milk came from the udder of a cow but that is so commercialized. I had to learn you can’t just pull a teat and milk comes out. The cow would have to had been giving birth before. Things I never care to know before became important to me and I was fascinated. It’s funny how one thing can lead to another, because I have lost track of what I was originally talking about. Oh yes, the dream. The Bambi induced dream. I think I know why I had that dream. Today was the day mom and dad weren’t home, and I had the chance to go into the woods. I have no younger siblings to look over and no baby-sitting job. What else is there for a fifteen-year old girl to do on this beautiful day? Before I would just watch tv and probably roam the house nude because I could. Curtains closed of course. But now was the perfect time for me to get to know nature in person and not just from books and documentaries in school.

(I need to make this next paragraph more interesting)

I streched my arm out and shut off my alarm and threw my covers off of me and headed down the hall to the kitchen. "Good morning Diana." My mother greeted me. She had already gotten a shower and prettied herself up with make-up. She looked nice, but something was missing. "Mom" I asked "Where’s daddy?" "He’s getting dressed. After he’s done, we’ll be heading out. By the way, can you stand watching the house by yourself for the day or should I drop you off at your cousin Traceys?" mother asked, eyes still in her newspaper. "I’ll be fine just staying here, but thanks anyway." Dad walked in all dressed up, "Good morning Diana, we’re on a tight scehdule so your mom and I must be going. See you tonight?" "Sure thing dad" I replied. Mother gathered her purse and they both were out the door. I had a typical breakfast of a bowl of cereal and toast with orange juice. I always eat breakfast before brushing my teeth. Orange juice tastes disgusting otherwise. Other typical morning things followed. Brushing my teeth, taking a shower, my morning tinkle and trying to figure out what to wear for the day. I decided it’s best to wear something like dark brown shirt and dark green shorts so I can blend into the forest today. I emptied out my old backpack and started filling it with things I might need. Things like guidebooks to birds and plants. Toilet paper in case nature calls. Some jerky I bought, heard it was a good snack. Add some lunch and trail mix and I now I’m all set for my nature journey for today.

I locked all the doors and windows to our house, and sneaked off into the woods. I tied a small, brightly colored string a tree to mark where my back yard is. I would continue to do this to other trees only so far away so I can find my way back and headed deeper into the woods. Many pictures later, it was mid-day and I must’ve journeyed a couple miles into the forest. I left around nine and now it was twelve-thirty. I started to feel something in my stomach, like it was breathing in air through a dirty hose. I was hungry. I set my backpack down and pulled out a sandwich. I took a bite and sat down myself and looked around. For awhile, it was quite peaceful. The brightly colored leaves, the sound of birds chirping and something I can only distinguish as the water rushing of the side of a cliff in the distance. I would check that out after I was done eating.No background music like in the features, not that that was ever a problem. It was kind of eerie but at the same time calming. However, I could just imagine the beautiful score of "Bambi" playing through my mind. For a second, I forgot I was even human and I felt I had fur and a tail. For a moment, I was a deer. A deer munching on bologna and mayonaise, no that’s not right. Leave it to my lunch to ruin the mood. Suddenly th
Whoops, some got cut off, here is the rest.

Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck rose and I felt uneasy. Then I heard the dead leaves that fell from last fall crinkle. I stuffed the last part of my sandwich in my mouth and zipped up my bag. I began to run but was pounced on and the beast was tugging at my bag. I flipped over and gave a blow to whatever it was. That’s when I realised that a wolf was trying to get my bag.
Stupidly, I kept my bag on and started to run. The wolf gathered himself back up and caught up to me, biting my leg and tripping me. Now there were more of them coming and I knew I couldn’t win. They gathered around me and started biting at my face and arms as I tried to push them away. I was able to keep them from biting my neck but my stomach and my legs were getting bitten and scratched immensely. I yelled out for help as much as I could while trying to fight them off. I eventually threw my bag down, thinking they wanted it, but they still kept attacking me. Eventually, I heard a gunshot. The wolf pack looked up and I looked towards where the sound was. I could barely make out what it was. It made a face and the wolves ran away. I passed out as the thing walked over to me. Only later would I find out what it was.
