the debate

i swear davis cameron has has botox..... defo wearing make up.

nick clegg is rather kool

gordon brown is rather funny

Part 2:

Nick Clegg is actually nauseating. Why? Well, he keeps saying we need a change from the old parties. He keeps trying to be emphathetic tooo much, and appears to be playing too much on emotions eurgh. He seems to discredit the other parties policies without really saying enough about his, he was doing this in the last debate.

Part 3:

Well, Mr Brown may be prone to gaffs (as was shown by calling a woman a bigot), but hey he has strong knowledge and experience of how to handle the economy, and right now, that's what we need, someone that can help our dire economy... go Gordon Brown! Also he doesn't talk with a lot of air

I'm starting to get the impression that Nick Clegg talks at you.. not kool. I love the way he keeps trying to act as if he is the peacemaker and still using the emotional card, and then when he can't answer a question, turns it back around on whoever asked it. And then keeps saying everyone has got it all wrong... EURGH!!!!








I've been finding the debates intriguing, and I like learning about what the parties have to offer me, but at the same time, I can't help but think, oh good, you say you'll be able to do all these things for me, but in reality, can they actually do them? Maybe on white paper, but just cos it works on paper doesn't mean it'll happen in the real world I've done enough physics questions to know that theory doesn't always mirror reality. Like stuff happens that we can't predict and our resources have to be diverted right?

Take the 9/11, I don't know whether or not it could of been stopped but either way, a lot of time, and money was diverted to what we now know to be wars and stuff... I doubt the running parties would of factored in wars to their manifestos.

I get the impression that of the three leaders, Brown is being the most sensible. Some people argue that we could of stopped the economic crisis we are in, or it could of been less severe. If you look at our economy, we rely heavily on imports, we export little, therefore anything that happens in other countries economies would of affected ours. This is what happens in a globalised world. I don't support socialism, but Russia because it is a closed economy suffers a lot less, just a note.
THis will be continued, but I got lectures to go to!

Prisoners

For a while now, I've known that a friend of mine, Michael Perry, of Polunsky Unit, Texas, is to be executed by lethal injection on 1st July 2010. A number of people reading this, may even look him up, and say well he deserves it. I've read into his case and I've read a lot about the legal system in America, and I believe that his execution (Should it go ahead) is wrong.

I've a number of friends in prison, and a couple I've kept in contact with a couple when they got out. Ok granted, they both went back in, one a number of times too... But at the end of the day, I know these people and yeah they may have done some bad things, but I can easily say, some of the most genuine people you could ever meet are people on the inside. Why do I say this? They are all blunt and to the point, they know that sometimes I may feel upset by their words, but I know deep down they are being honest with me. These people are some of the most beautiful human beings I have ever met in my life. One of them, in all honesty, if it weren't for him, I doubt I'd be doing physics are uni right now. He really opened my eyes to physics and showed me soo much wonder.

They've done bad things, and they are the first to admit it, but because of that, they try so hard to better themselves, to be better people. They want to show the world they are not worthless, but are full of potential, and it's beautiful to see just how hard some try. I get the impression that if it weren't for prison they wouldn't be the humans they are now. Because their world closed in on them, they want to do all they can to create a better life for themselves. How many people make an effort to improve themself when they have everything to distract them? Lord knows how many times I've tried to do something but stopped because I had nothing pushing me.

These people may not have many friends on the outside, and so they will cling to any friendship that comes their way. Some of the loveliest things people have said about me are from people in prison. And no they aren't trying to butter me up either, because they'e also been preetty honeest about some of my lesser traits. They know that it's not worth lying to me, or doing anything untoorde, cos they'll lose out in the end. Sometimes I've been given advice that I really didn't want to hear, but they were just being honest, and the amount of times I've said, no your wrong.. and in the end turns out they are right. These people have gained soo much life experience from being in prison. I'm not saying all prisoners are lovely people, You do get a lot of rotten apples in there, and maybe I just lucked out..but I hate it when my friends say bad things against them, judging them purely on their crime. That's not the person.

My friends have made my some really lovely things which I keep in my room. One is rather good at art, and I always done this fancy writing on the front of envelopes and would make me really nice cards. Another did loads of drawings and granted some I found kinda creepy, but they were still really good. Another opened my onto a spritiual path where I found inner peace and a better way of dealing with things.

musings

Ok, so lets say you hurt someone really badly but in your opinon you didn't cause it, yet everyone else seems to think you have. Why do you feel that it isn't your fault? I was thinking about this, and the best answer I could come up with is responsibility. Unless you take responsibilty for something, you won't feel like you have done anything wrong. Which then begs the question, Do we have to take responsibility for something? Like if you fuck around with someone mentally/emotionally, do you have to take responsibilty for what you did or can you legitimately not give a fuck?
