Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic. Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment. Extraversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have solved the world's fuel crisis. I have the perfect alternative fuel source: sin. Now in Christianity sin basically taints the soul and will cause you to go to hell, unless you confess, removing the sin from your soul. This suggests that a sin is a tangible thing. However, in case Christianity is incorrect, several other religions back this up.

In Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, you must detach yourself from everything in the physical world. Committing what would be a sinful act ties you down to the physical world and also determines your next reincarnation. In ancient Egyptian belief, when one died, it was said in the afterlife their heart was put on a scale and on the other scale a feather was placed. If the heart was heavier then the feather, you would go to the Egyptian's version of hell. These all suggest that sins have some sort of weight to them, and thus physical properties.

Now, normally people would assume that if you cleanse yourself of a sin, it disappears. I disagree. If you steal someone's purse, even if you give it back and make amends, that purse was still stolen. Short of you hoping in your Delorean and firing up the flux capacitor, you cannot change that. Thus while the sin is no longer on your soul, it still lingers.

Now, what happens to that sin? Well I would assume it gets recycled and used again on someone else, but who knows. However if scientists were to find a way to tap into that pool of sins, we would have an endless fuel source. Even if all the sin combustion engines had the worst mileage possible, it would not matter. We would not run out for one simple reason: people sin constantly.

It is the sad truth of the world. If we did not sin constantly we would have little need for atonement. Thus humanity would refill the supply constantly. Don't believe me? Sit in rush hour traffic on I-195 for an hour and observe how many times you, and the people around you, sin. And let us not forget if sins are constantly being made, then all those past sins are out there somewhere. They all cannot be being recycled, if they are recycled.

Now what if I am wrong? What if we can use up the world supply of sin and it can not be replenished. We now have a world without sin. Tell me where the bad in that is? If you can come up with an answer, other than one involving people creating new ways to sin (which would replenish the supply,) tell me. I would love to hear it.

So everyone, get on the phone and tel your local congressman you want government funding to go into the invention of a sin combustion engine. Do it today!

It has recently come to my attention that the reason many older people do not like Barack Obama is that he has little experience. Now normally I would agree that this is a bad thing. After all, you do not want a barely qualified construction worker working a wrecking ball. The results could be disastrous, quite literally. However, maybe someone with a fresh slate is exactly what we need.

Let us face it, politicians have strings attached. The longer you are in politics, the more you have. What makes a politician influential or not is dependent on how many of those strings they control, and how many control them. Barack Obama, even though he is a presidential candidate, is less likely to have as many strings as let us say, John McCain, a veteran in politics. Now I am not endorsing Barack. As far as I know, he is a politician and is not to be trusted. In fact, he could have more strings on him than a marionette. I am just saying; do not let his lack of experience sway your vote and keep your mind open to the possibility.

However, this got me thinking on to political mindsets and it’s affect on voters. Why is it politicians never swear and always talk as if they studied in Harvard, even though they may have gone to a state college? Simple, people want to believe politicians are better than they are. They want them to be smarter, wiser, and better leaders then they are. If they did not believe that, they would probably be politicians themselves, running for an office. The reason they do not swear is because swearing is viewed as crude and profane, which is certainly below a politician.

However, I can accept all of this. It is all a part of the show, which has been going on since the days of kings and queens. It is when politicians start acting as if they better than us in every way that bothers me. It is when politicians not only do not swear, but become offended if a swear word is uttered in front of them. Politicians are the ones who are supposed to be guiding the world to a better place, and yet they become morally offended over a swear word. How are they suppose to handle all the evils of this world when they cannot even handle a swear word?

Too many politicians view the voting mass as inferiors. This has become more and more obvious to me as things like the “electoral vote,” which negates a lot of our voting power in the elections, have become accepted and even embraced, and things like “superdelegates,” which took away some voting power in the primaries, are instituted without regards to the common man. Truth is, while I, like everyone, want a candidate who is better than me in the area of politics, I do not want someone who thinks they are better than me. After all if a politician thinks they are better than the people voting for them, then that politician does not understand them, and if that politician does not understand them, how can that politician ever hope to lead them?

Truth is I would not mind a candidate who dropped the F-Bomb a few times, or did not try to act perfect. It would be reassuring to know that the person I am voting for is human, and not someone just spewing what I want to hear. It would be a great day indeed. However with politics today, that person would be alienated, not only by the opposing party, but by the media, and eventually, his own party as well. Not to mention the average Joe could never afford to be a candidate, unless he ran independent, and only a small handful of people vote independent. Sorry Average Joe, but politics is a member's only club.

Andrew Massey is a fourth year Psychology Major at RIC. He is the current Opinions and Lifestyles editor of the Rhode Island College's newspaper, the Anchor. He put this blurb here so Erin Boucher would not beat him with the Copy Edit spatula.

So today Micheal Shiel decided to put TWO DVDs in the DVD player at the anchor. This, obviously broke the DVD player. Thank God for Kellye Martin, as she was able to fix it. From now on, Mike Shiel is not allowed in anyway to operate the DVD player. I am not sure if I want him near any technical equipment more complicated than a toaster from now on lol.

Thing is, the fact he did this, or anyone would do this, is not a surprise. The world is full of idiots who do things like this. Unlike Micheal Shiel, they will be fully awake when they do it. Ever look at some of the warning labels on products? A chainsaw will say "Do not stop chain with hands, feet, or groin." That means some idiot out there decided that he wanted to stop the chainsaw and he put it in between his legs. Seriously, I am kind of glad he did stop it with his groin. That means now he will not be able to breed and put his genes in the pool.

Sad part is, i know there is some clerk at the Wal-Mart's return desk who got back a DVD player that didn't work, only to find out the luser (cross between user and loser) who had it tried to play two DVDs t the same time. Of course the person would swear up and down they did not do that and that the DVD player did not work, and that they wanted their money back. It would be that point, if I were said clerk, that I would have to go get my manager and have them explain to the luser exactly what I told them for them to believe us.

It is a sad sad world out there, and I am living in it.

This is a a video I saw on CNN the other day:  Skimpy prom dress lands teen in cuffs. Funny, isn't that how it normally works?

To be quite honest, I am not surprised that there are people that stupid. I just love how she has NO idea why she was kicked out. Maybe high schools should put up signs saying "You must be this dressed to enter the prom." I mean a girl dressed like that i would expect to see on a street corner, not in a high school prom.
 

I have decided. I want a super hero with super legal powers. He can do anything he wants within the restraints of the justice system. He can bend any law he wants, anyway he wants and it all happens instantly.

No one would be able to stop this guy. If you commit a crime, he can have you sent away for the maximum sentence. The paper work would be filled out and filed properly as it happened. Are the bad guys getting away? Have their car repo'ed. Someone upset you? Have someone check in on all of their unpaid parking bills. It is the ultimate power and it would be 100% legal.

Now, what is the downside to this ultimate power? The person from then on could not break the law. It would be physically impossible for him to do it. Thus he could never go evil. Also, he would give him a zealous attitude towards legal things. However, for this price, you could do anything you like to someone within the legal confines of the law. Now who would not want a hero like that on their side?

So after discovering several of my friends had a LJ, I decided to blow the dust off of mine. It was angry at me for neglecting it, and it even bit me. I think it is infected. Stupid LJ. Not like it has feelings lol. So I decided after fixing so many of the writing errors the me from two years ago made, I am now blogging.

On to my life! Well not really. I have never really been much for smearing my personal life over the interwebs. Sorry folks, if you want to hear me rant and rave about my personal life, you will have to talk to me in person. It sucks I know. You come on to LJ to read some people be emo and cry about how horrible their life is and how no one understands them, and here is some kid being private and realizing the internet is open to everyone. Damn me.

Oh well, I just guess you will have to endure reading rants and raving about everything else, mixed in with my own touch of wit and banter. Not to mention crazy ideas I think of that actually would would well and more! Thats right. I am here to break the norm of LJ. In the great words of the internet: I'm in your LJs, messing with your emo kids.

Enjoy!

I'm pretty much just posting this entry here because I can. Just to let everyone know, this LJ will if updated rarely if ever, cause I'm cool like that. Thats about all I have to say. BYE!
