... Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On Friday, millions of people ...

DAMN THOSE ACTIVIST JUDGES!

... This is better news than just Obama indicating a preference for inclusion of GLBT benefits; it gives him the backing from one of the other three branches of government to recommend that congress move on new progressiveness, rather than just him unilaterally asking them to do so. It turns the fight into 2 against 1, not just 1 against 1 with 1 abstain, and it gives congress the means to tell ...

and now some hating on the federal and private financial aid system

... with a lower interest credit card so that i could use the money for what it was intended for: MY PRIVATE FINANCES. while lesley claims to be "waking up the world" with all it's progressiveness and inclusivity, their system is actually oppressive, discriminatory, classist, and rascist. i can't imagine what a single mother would be doing with this, or someone with no parents. NONE of my everest ...

Rotation #109

... one. [3.5/5] Fokofpolisiekar: Lugsteuring *** Straatligkinders: Bloeisels Subgenres: Just Rock XD Comment: Described more specifically as melodic indie rock, the Parlotones is a band with some progressiveness to their music. It's a slower kind of rock, with upbeat guitars occasionally accompanied with trumpets and pianos and various others. Vocals are nice, with a Britrock feel to them...

Whatever happened to the good old days?

...   Bhutan recently switched from reporting their progress as a GDP to a “General Happiness Indicator”.   Now, a cynic, such as myself, could point out that perhaps Bhutan has other motives besides progressiveness for wanting to change away from the GDP, like that their GDP is terrible.   But still, it’s probably worth beginning to investigate other measures for national progress, cause what is ...

..."I wish they were how they used to be" or "what they've become now" doesn't apply, everything comes together in the sense that every album shows not only the evolution of their music but a sort of progressiveness that links from one album to the next and then into the next and back in a full 360 degrees when you finally get to see them perform on stage, where they truly shine. They mix it up good ...

Therapy

.... Secondly, the treatment of Djaq, the show’s only other female cast member, also supposedly a strong, independent woman, alarmed me greatly. For a broadcaster that has always prided itself on the progressiveness of its views, it’s sensitivity to women’s rights and to the needs of the ethnic and cultural minorities amongst its viewers, it seems decidedly wrong to me that the BBC would allow a ...

... unable to function normally, became more and more involved in destructive, unhealthy behaviors and could not focus on her schoolwork. But school officials continued their tacit support for Claudia's "progressiveness" - and continued their outright hostility toward her parents' concerns. It was a train wreck waiting to happen. Claudia's pre-existing issues were exacerbated to such a degree that ...

Tomorrow belongs to Marx

... considered his main theoretical contribution to the development of Marxist thought in China to be the principle of the “Three Represents,” which are: “keep pace with the times, maintain the Party’s progressiveness, and exercise the state power in the interest of the people.” To give new strength to the dissemination of Marxist thought in China, the Academy of Marxism was created in the Chinese ...

Soon I'll get bored with this

... into another worthless weep, weep, I'm gay, and nobody will ever accept me in Hazzard -- Luke: Well, they wouldn't--I mean, of course they'll accept you Bo! The south is known for its progressiveness and willingness to accept minorities and peoples of all sexuality. Bo: You should lay off the shine, Luke. Luke: It makes stomaching this kind of thing so much easier. *takes a large swig out of a ...
