Is lust necessarily a bad thing? Know thyself because whatever you see as 'bad' is merely reflection from within. I'm learning to accept aspects of my personality. I have just written a poem about a dude who is physically and emotionally addicted to his ex-girlfriend. I'd appreciate reflection, both criticisms of the poem or advice about the subject matter! lol Tribe used to be much better for dialogue, there have been less comments in the past year.

What is there to say? sneeze is a type of orgasm or spasm, hiccup is what? goowik says, "A hiccup or hiccough (pronounced /ˈhɪkʌp/ HICK-up), is the spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm that repeats several times per minute." or just once, hardly ever in a lifetime. gw continues, " In humans, the abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, creating the "hic" Hiccupsound.ogg Hiccupsound.ogg (help·info) sound. In medicine, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus, from the Latin, singult, "the act of catching one's breath while sobbing."The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc." the pretenders requested that one stop their sobbing. behavior may be its own reward or even punishment, if that were your coin of your realm. existence is a bright light in day, a glowed dark absence where sleep takes hold with comfort and rest. The term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern. Causes...Hiccups (singultus) can be caused by many central and peripheral nervous system disorders, all from injury or irritation to the phrenic and vagus nerves, as well as toxic or metabolic disorders affecting the aforementioned systems, I'll be back. it is 10:52, here is what I did, >"Again there is a reward for doing so, a release of guilt, and responsibility" <sounds like original sin concept or call it guilty by nature innocence is presumed. what is there to release when no guilt exists? it (meaning guilt) happens true enough, when it does not occur. where does that leave what is accepted or rejected? sounds like you are proposing a carrot and a stick. eat the carrot or not, burn the stick and build a flying machine and leave for higher ground then go plummeting to the rocky coasts of Madagascar. >"if someone has limited energy and expends that energy it is only rational that they seek some kind of response or reward or why do it?" <I see a question mark, yet the question seems to be begging a response, and a change of subject ensues. Now that you have left reward behind, I see that it is response that you seek. Feel better and sin no more. or stop dragging your borrowed guilty nature at home, if there is where it was acquired. conclusion: some behavior seeks response. perhaps all, except for rhetoric, that appears to not require a response. sounds like ice breaker material, small talk, leading to.........something to eat, something to build. good luck, I wonder what a good response to a single hiccup might be? bless you is taken by sneezing, spasms of all sorts like a response I think. in kind, of well wish and the rest. Love came shining over the mountain, love came shining over the sea, love came shining over my baby<chrissie singing. hey! Treatment. Ordinary hiccups are cured easily without medical intervention; in most cases they can be stopped simply by forgetting about them. extraordinary spasms may require an interinventive response. more good luck, may you never get enough, be good, take care, of bod and company. glen over and IN Absence. I dreamed of you again last night. How I wish I did not. How I grateful I am that I do. You are always with me and yet I cannot find you. You exist in some far off place in a far off time and yet you are always with me in the here and now. Are you only the smoke of my dreams or memories of a reality a long time past. Will I ever know? Do I really want to know? How I hate this memory that leaves these tears on my pillow. How happy I am for this smile they leave in their place. borrowed Tamara, stolen like a thief, that almost always gives back, more than taken, shared relief, respite, enjoy! Digital rectal massage has been recommended as a remedy that causes immediate cessation of hiccups and which should be tried before resorting to drugs. some doubt as to if land reform causes any permanent change, as cycles endlessly spin control to and fro. Back to the ancients, that cast the world into the shape it has retained for millennia. almost certainly any simulation would contain knowing players, and those players would be constructs with a historical beginning, that included the basic myths we continue to be saddled with, their inability to forget and their unwavering stubbornness to continue trying to not remember. ACHOO!!~"I don't know. Are you serious?" bye@pvn&tr Staff an open source initiative not at all imitative "For example if there is a God who is omniscient, his knowledge would not be axiom based." possibly a useless example, in so far as it answers everything and nothing. omniscience might cause simulation in order to observe thought waves in a dimensional form, any early creative form would soon learn boredom and soon after learn to hide it, thus forgetfulness is born, not long after forgiveness becomes a default selection, omniscience is forsaken. The ensuing mess is left behind for others to cleanup and fix. Enjoy! Suffer the consequences otherwise.

From the intro to "Flotsam": "Elissa Malcohn burst into our pages in November 1984 with her intensely powerful story 'Lazuli.' Although another tale appeared in our Mid-December 1986 issue, we've been waiting twenty-three years for the third. We're delighted that the hiatus ends with 'Flotsam,' a story that was partly informed by Elissa's employment at a government contractor during some of those intervening years." Matt Bruensteiner, Garbled Signals (http://garbledsignals.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/asimovs-octobernovember-2009/ ), commenting on "Flotsam," writes: "As a young girl Mercedes discovered a biological 'impossibility' in the polluted coastal waters of her city. The discovery, and the way it was denied haunts her throughout her life in the working class world of the US-Mexican border. Working blue collar jobs, she spends her free time researching the impossibility she’s sure she remembers from childhood. An excellent story, which does particularly well at blending the story of Mercedes as a person between cultures into an sf story." My story in the mid-December 1986 Asimov's was "The S.O.B Show," a fond spoof informed by five years of volunteer planetarium work. The title took its name from the field's nickname for the "Star of Bethlehem," or Christmas, show. "Lazuli," a science fictional treatment of childhood sexual abuse and my first professional sale, single-handedly placed me on the final ballot for the 1985 John W. Campbell Award.

An old man was driving an old delivery truck, Going through his steady daily routine, Up the ramp, On to the highway, And he would make it to the Poconos and home to the kids, Where on the third Saturday of every month, The fishing pole beckoned to his favorite pond, And the kids, in tow, with their rods, The soft crackling of the stream, And everything was all right again.

And who believe, that if we come together this can be changed. In general I am very much against censorship however this is NOT a tribe for arguing the premiss and anyone who does so will be kicked off. (You may advertise a tribe here, that has been created to disagree with us. But keep it short.) Useful constructive criticism intended to improve our ability to achieve our ends is welcome. If you choose to join us, Your mission is to find articles and news that will help to educate us, as well as organizations that support our cause. And to help bring in more people thru email, Tribes and other social networks. If we are successful I will start a website to continue the work. It is my intention that we will never ask for cash donations and that this will be an all volunteer organization. Lets start a movement to make our nation a better place with equal political power for all. Outlaw Corporate Political Pacs OCPP http://tribes.tribe.net/outlawcorporatepoliticalpacs Grass roots movements start with a handful of people. Please join us. We CAN make a difference.
