and just as interesting.......

Many things can prompt one to write an essay on boredom, boredom being the number one cause. Once the boredom takes over, there is no stopping what can happen next, be it humping(spelling error understood and left to make a point) off a roof head first into a pile of half eaten flopping salmon, or writing an essay on boredom. I am here today to inspect these things: Why people get bored, what are some of the many causes of boredom, and how do you become "unbored". Yes I'm aware that the first two are essentially the same thing, but believe you me, I can make them completely different. I believe I will start at the end, being bored.

How do you become this so called "unbored"? Well first things last as they have been lately, why would you want to become unbored? Honestly such fruitful things as my website have been extracted during extreme periods of boredom. Being a partial bit into this paragraph I feel it is due time for the insertion of an anecdote: One time, while on a sailboat with no engine and it raining outside(obviously a boring situation) I started playing a game of go fish with a good friend of mine, who's name shall go unmentioned. I decided to start cheating, the problem being I made it too obvious. Both of us burst out laughing and couldn't stop for about an hour and thirteen minutes fourty-two seconds. There you have it, who wouldn't spend 1:13:42 with aching sides and tears rolling down your cheeks. Boredom is not something to be cured of, but something to be achieved. Well since you wanted, the real answer is find something to do. But, that being the obvious answer, may not satisfy all of you. So make something to do, anything, be it yes "humping off a roof head first into a pile of half eaten flopping salmon".

This paragraph will begin the end of my essay, although that was begun at the beggining because mass and energy are never gained. Of course they're never lost either so therefore we can conclude my essay will never end. Or will it......? That being put aside let's address the question of "Why people get bored?". The most obvious answer being the stupidest and least interesting, one doesn't have anything to do. First of all, there is always something to do, people let themselves get bored. It is like a deep urge within themelves. Maybe boredom is the key that shall eventually unlock the human mind's ultimate power....or has it? I believe one of the essential sources of boredom is that thing that causes many of the incurable faults, or in this case achievments, of society. You guessed it, peer pressure. Without it this society would fall apart, I'm aware non-conformity is mine, as well as most of the people I know's, way of life, but face it without comformity society would fall apart, we need jocks and valley girls. Peer pressure prevents a large part of us from doing what we want to, not necesarily the standar view that says it pushes people into performing certain actions. I would be publicly shunned for wearing a couch on my head. Yeah, yeah, it would strain my neck and that's why you say I don't do it, but face it everyones inner-most desire is to wear a couch on their head. Oh carp, I got completely off topic. Well the point I was trying to make was peer pressure causes boredom, but it probably doesn't. Well one theing can't be blamed for everything....or can it?

Now since I really used up that topic: What causes boredom?. I'll write on the effects of boredom on society. First I shall like to quote, "the act of practicing borednessism is in almost every household, though many people deny to having a religion, they often times forget about this one". That says a lot about what boredom is. It is not a state of being, it is a way of life, a religion per say. Many would deny it, but boredom is the force that revolves around as we proceed through our lives. Without boredom we would not be prompted to go to college, get a job, well do anything for that matter. We would just sit around eating in a state of "non-boredom". Would the first man have created fire if he was not "bored" of being cold or "bored" of uncooked meat, the answer is undoubtably, yes. Ok, maybe thats not the point I'm trying to make, we wouldn't have awesome looking cave drawings such as this:


without boredom, would we? No, we wouldn't, please don't argue I drew that in a state of boredom and thats irrefutable. Now, would people answer the phone, fold socks, where lamp shades as collars, slide on cheese and ham sitting on the ground, or take a crap(ok so maybe that'd be forced upon them) etc. without boredom. Life would really be quite boring without boredom (yes, quite redundant and well as an oxymoron).

I think it is time I returned to the removal of boredom. There is none and never will be a cure for boredom. Maybe one person can be in such high levels of excitment and have no boredom, but how long can that honestly last, 15, maybe 20 seconds tops. Then one gets bored with excitment. There you have it boredom is a disease uncurable and necessary in the demented and undulatory worl in which we live.

trevan, one of the little known facts about indictments (which is what is important during the trial, NOT the warrant).....................................................................ok, back to the little known fact.....................................................in MOST cases, the DATE is absolutely not a factor in the indictment.....................for instance, the indictment could read "sometime between January 1 and April 1, 2007.............." AND if it just so happened that the crime occurred, April 4.................that would not be a defense, it would not nullify the indictment..................................................................All the State has to prove is that the crime was committed, by the accused, during the time period for which the statute of limitations applies......................................................and in this case, that's any time.....................................................to be perfectly clear......................................................I could draw up an indictment that reads "Trevan sold drugs on July 4, 2008"................................................and you could go to trial and say "that's not me on the video tape; now, don't get me wrong, I sold drugs a couple of months prior to that, but then I decided to quit selling drugs" and the jury could find you guilty of selling drugs on Jan. 2, 2008, based on your own admission, and that would be a valid conviction.....................................................................one of those FEW loopholes that benefit the prosecutor

and keeping in the spirit of Slynay's post:

Global warming and the debate over whether man-made carbon gas emissions are having a detrimental influence on climate change has been ranked as the most boring topic of conversation on earth, according to a new report.

The issue of global warming far out-performed other contenders for the title, such as the production of goat cheese, the musical genius of the artist formerly known as P Diddy and media speculation over the likely outcome of the upcoming federal election.

These topics still tracked strongly, according to the report, but global warming was identified as the topic most likely to prompt people into feigning heart attacks so as to avoid hearing the phrases "procrastination penalty", "precautionary principle" and "peer-reviewed analysis" ever again.

The study, conducted by a non-partisan think tank located somewhere between the small township of Tibooburra and the NSW border, identified global warming as the current topic of choice for people who want their dinner party to finish early.

According to the parents in the survey, global warming has now replaced the traditional bedtime story when it comes to putting children to sleep. The study found the topic was also being used instead of water cannon by riot police around the world to disperse crowds.

In a key finding, the survey revealed that the amount of damaging carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of discussing the global warming issue now exceeds the greenhouse gas emissions of northern China.

The survey also raised a number of important issues regarding the global warming debate.

Of those surveyed, 83 per cent said that while they understood both sides of the issue, they did not understand Al Gore.

Participants in the study were asked whether Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth had helped enlighten people to the importance of the global warming issue.

The standard response was that if the issue of global warming is as important and urgent to Gore as he keeps saying every time he is on Letterman, then why didn't he make the movie during the eight years he was vice-president of the United States, the second most powerful position in the world? Why did he wait until his political career was dead?

The issue was also raised as to why Gore personally came out to promote his film in Australia - a relatively insignificant market - and then make a big deal about all the carbon off-setting he had done to counter the pollution his trip had generated. Over 95 per cent of those who took part in the survey wanted to know why he didn't just do it all from his house via satellite.

Other key findings of the survey were:

* 89 per cent wanted to know how it was possible for humans to control the climate, given that they have enough trouble forecasting it;

* 96 per cent believe those who use the term "climate change denial" are attempting to equate it with "Holocaust denial";

* 100 per cent of these respondents also believe such people should receive lengthy prison terms for crimes against the English language;

* 79 per cent of the bands that took part in the Live Earth event did so because they feared the planet would be destroyed by global warming before they had a chance to receive free worldwide television exposure;

* 87 per cent only tuned in to watch the lead singer from Sneaky Sound System, who is hot;

* 92 per cent of those same people watched her on mute because they didn't want to hear that song again;

Of all the issues raised in the survey, most common was whether the global warming debate was all just an elaborate ruse designed to sell stuff.

The study highlighted how those who subscribe to the prophecy of global warming automatically commit themselves to purchasing a vast array of expensive products, whereas sceptics don't have to buy anything to support their point of view.

Over 98 per cent of people surveyed also predicted that the standard response from global warming proponents to that last statement would be: "yeah, it won't cost anything - except the future of your planet".

sounds like folks are mad that he is ARROGANT enough to run against the standard bearers and not lower themselves to sucking up to the party elite.......................................................

a man who says what he feels, and doesn't care if you like it or not...........................exactly what everyone "CLAIMS" to want in a candidate.............but when it actually happens, we are appalled that someone has an opinion and won't change it to get our vote..........

you all should be thrilled that a candidate would be willing to speak to you in this forum, and willing to defend his position...................................most candidates and ALL elected officials would not "lower" themselves to answer our questions, defending their positions or mingling with us "common" folk......................................................................

What other candidates are here saying "I'm Mr. ____________" and this is my position



I will say some canddiates will say crap like "I'm RomeGaSir and I love America"

but not many will state their opinions that are not 100% supported by the electorate, defend their position and place themselves in a position for ANONYMOUS criticism...............................

grace, then we probably agree.............................however, that goes with a statement I made months ago, and got jumped on about, that Christianity allows people to "become" Christians, then do ANYTHING they want, and still go to heaven............it's like an innoculation against hell and nothing more.....................everyone scolded me saying that a "true" Christian would LIVE like a Christian........................your post seems to disagree with that.........

and a lot of Christians "change their mind" when confronted with an opportunity for pleasures of the flesh.............................that means nothing that someone who claims to be atheist or christian act different at some times in their lives..........

The atheist being shot at might have felt "heck, I might as well pray JUST IN CASE", but I don't thinkt that's what Christians would call faith

lol moderator...............................mistake forgiven...............................

fixem, arraignment is simply where the defendant is advised of the charges against him, by a judge and pleads guilty or not guilty..................if not guilty, a tentative trial date is set.........................

You can also waive Grand Jury indictment....................it was once the "in thing" for attorneys to waive indictment because they were afraid that if the officer charged someone with aggravated assault, that the grand jury could true bill the charge and then add other charges, such as aggravated battery, battery, simple battery, simple assault, giving false statements (for instance if the suspect lied to the police, etc), felony obstruction (if the assault occurred on an officer during the course of his duties) AND the attorneys knew that their client would be true billed anyway, so why take the risk of other charges being added by the grand jury.???????????? However, today, for big cases, the in thing to do is let the grand jury do its thing and then attack the composition...........................

wolfdawg...........thanks for your service to our country, in whatever capacity it has been and currently is.......................................I know MANY soldiers and sailors who had HEAVY burdens lifted from their shoulders by the simple, pro bono work of a JAG officer...............................

I live in Floyd County and won't be voting in the Catoosa elections, so I have no bone to pick, axe to grind or ability to make a difference in the matter.......

I do however take offense to ANYONE making light of someone's assignment in the military..............................................................................Thanks for what you do
