Teen Banned From US For Barracking Obama

A British teenager has been banned from America for life for sending Barack Obama an abusive email.

Luke Angel was reprimanded by police on both sides of the Atlantic after firing off a drunken message to the White House calling the president a “p****”.
The FBI intercepted the message and contacted police in the UK who went to see the 17-year-old at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire.
Luke, a college student, is now on a list of people who are banned from visiting the States.
The teenager told the Bedfordshire On Sunday newspaper that he had sent the email after watching a TV programme about September 11.
When asked about the ban, Luke said: “I don’t really care. My parents aren’t very happy about it.
“The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever.”
A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: “The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language.
“We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, ‘Oh dear, it was me’.”
Officers will take no criminal action.
Joanne Ferreira, of the US Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred.
She added: “We are prohibited from discussing specific cases.”

What is worse is that the British police chose to investigate this crime…never mind the murders, rapes, robberies….let’s threaten a kid who said something we didnt like. Boo-hoo.

Communication Styles of Men and Women

Ever feel you might as well be talking to the dog? In fact the dog appears to understand you more than your better half.  Well there are good reasons for that.

“

There is middle ground where men and women can meet and find understanding. Women must learn that the kind of intimate talk they have with their girlfriends should remain just that. Trying to turn your man into a girlfriend will usually fail because men, in general, don’t create feelings of closeness in that way. Men, too can understand that when their woman is talking, she is attempting to connect to him–she’s not just talking to talk, nor is she trying to readjust the status of their relationship. By sharing more of himself he shows her, in a way she can understand, that he’s not pushing her away”

Ah Sienna Miller Why oh Why?

More wise words from Nat

“Separated men, especially ones without a concrete divorce date set but packing a large ego, are something akin to a nightmare. The likelihood is that if they aren’t emotionally evolved enough to get their divorce sorted out pronto but do end up starting a relationship anyway, they are likely to wonder about freedom that they may have missed out on. Plus being separated for some men, namely your typical habitual Mr Unavailable, is like being in no-mans land, and the only person they genuinely concern themselves about…is them. Fallback Girls take the fact that a man is married (or separated) as a sign that he is capable of commitment and so believe that they will transfer their commitment to the new relationship. Unfortunately you can be married but not committed, or you may decide after being married, you’re not ready to commit so soon again. It’s just regrettable that these men rarely say so because they like an easy life living the best of both worlds.”

Most women don’t ask enough questions early on in a relationship or even at the dating stage for fear of looking too keen, too nosey, too pushy or spoil the moment. If in doubt ask, if you get a gut feeling that something isn’t right or you’re not being told the whole story ASK.

Better to find out where you stand early on than become emotionally invested in a guy that blows hot then cold, who starts hinting or talking about a future only for him to get cold feet.

How to Train Your Man

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/repairing-relationships/201007/how-train-your-man

There is a new book making the media rounds called “How To Train Your Man”. Publications like this continue to reinforce the Tiger Wood Syndrome in America.  They simply don’t understand that today’s men are already “trained” to give women control of the relationship in return for love, acceptance and sexual relations. Men have been  trained by the media of television, movies and music  to bury their needs, feelings and goals to accommodate their mate’s. American men surrender unconditionally to their female “trainers” for sex and their acute fear of being alone. They would rather be in a poor relationship than no relationship. But there is a terrible cost for this obedience.  A deep-seated resentment smolders within the man’s heart at this sacrifce of self for companionship. As a result, a steady corrosion of the couple’s romance occurs over time. After the honeymoon stage of the relationship fades  the woman will often discover she has bonded with a man of clashing temperaments, little shared interests and little interest in her besides physical relations. This century-long process of submersion of the male in marriage is the cause of the unprecedented failure of heterosexual relations in 2010′s America.

(I’m using generalisation here)

Which is all well and good till you realise than when you are honest and encourage men to be the same, you’re often met with resistance, which is no doubt built on their own thinking, cultural and societial conditioning and so on.

1. When you’re upfront and honest – they can’t cope with you displaying emotions let alone share back – guys don’t do that right?

2. You’re playing games – even when you’re honest you will be treated as if that is also some kind of manipulative game playing and only pretending to be honest.

Just be yourself, quit playing games with each other life’s too short for that crap, if you’re in a dodgy relationship get out of it, believe it or not there are people who will like you for you.

Stop Lying!!

http://www.uncommon-knowledge.co.uk/articles/stop-lying.html

Seems like most of us just can’t stop lying, well mostly to ourselves but we rename them ‘reasons’, and if our reason gets challenged well then we will just invent another reason to justify our actions.

“We often assume from our incessant information gathering and analysis that human beings are truth-seeking creatures, but much evidence indicates that maintaining our emotional stability is much more important to us than sharpening up our perceptions of reality.”
