Black Friday Now Comes to Canada

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:39:40 +0000

Black Friday is a day that begins just after the Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It is a day that offers some employees some well deserved time off, other then banks and retailers.

Canada is now beginning the same tradition of this Black Friday and has a website open to allow us to view which sites and retailers are participating.

Many retailers participate with this particular day, by offering sales for Christmas shoppers. Although I do not agree with over commercialization of shopping excessively, and promote second hand shopping, sales are not a bad thing for some new underwear and socks held at a sale. Some things should not be bought second hand.

Black Friday can be used to purchase new items that are needed for your household, but are not sanitary to purchase second hand. Some of the businesses that seem to be participating with this particular form of shopping would be as follows.

Amazon

Best Buy

Game Stop

Wal-Mart

Radio Shack

This is only to name a few locations that are participating with the sales and shopping. The site is encouraging other Canadian businesses to jump aboard, and offer sales for the season.

The website I located, starting on November 27th, 2009 will be hosting a variety of locations that are offering this type of shopping and sales. The site is going to promote deals you can find online, and let you know about stores that you can arrive at a bit earlier if you really want too. Please do not act like a crazy shopper, a death has already occured from a stampede. It is a better solution to show up at regular hours, and let people go ahead of you for safety reasons.

I am also strongly suggesting this route for Canadian businesses to participate in this method of sales. It is a great way to advertise your business, and offer wonderful selections at a lower discounted cost. Many families utilize Christmas shopping with needs instead of desire only purchases. That is how my family does it.

If you are a Canadian business wanting to join in on Black Friday, I strongly suggest to let the site know, and let them know very soon so they can add you to the list of other businesses participating with the sales.

Black Friday ads are a solution for those who need to save a few dollars, but pick up a few needed things for the holidays.I strongly urge businesses who need items for their business to use this day to do so. I always encourage second hand or recycled methods first, which I still do, if you can not find it second hand then Black Friday is the way to go.

I plan on supporting Black Friday, the hard working employees to have a day off, and to pick up items that my family needs like underwear.

Please take precautions with Black Friday, apparently a death has transpired from a stampede in 2008. Now folks, you need to control this shopping with respect to others and not line up for hours before hand to stampede inside the store. People can get hurt. To the businesses participating, make sure you have enough stock for one, and make rules to gaining entrance in an orderly and safe fashion please.

Vietnam: The Lost War

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:32:32 +0000

When American soldiers came home, they were greeted not very nicely unlike WWII. When soldiers came back from WWII, soldiers were met with flowers and the love of their fellow Americans. But the Vietnam War made many people upset so when soldiers came back, even they were ashamed of how the public would look at them. Those who were lucky to come back knew how horrible it was in Vietnam. The number of dead Americans was very high. Because the war was not popular and left many Americans dead, citizens began to wonder what these American soldiers were dying for. Because of this idea, I am against the war.

The Vietnam War disturbed a period in time known as the happy days. The general public was in a time of their life where war was not an issue. Many people wanted to keep it this way unless it was absolutely necessary. The Vietnam War is not something that is necessary. When the government imposed the draft, many people tried everything they could in order to find ways around it. The famous boxer publicly stood up against the draft and even went to jail for it. This just shows how passionately people are against the war.

I can see why many Americans were unhappy when the United States decided to fight in Vietnam. If I lived in that time period, I would probably be one of the many teens who stand up and fight against this war. The Vietnam War was not the right thing to do because we lost many Americans lives to prevent communism from spreading. In the end, the government backed out and communism spread. This just shows how all of the efforts that American soldiers were put to waste and how we should have never fought in the war in the first place.

The War for American Soil

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:27:30 +0000

The United States recognized the Native American’s as sovereign nations. This meant that the US government could create treaties and have paternalistic authority over the Natives. The US government has continuously harassed the Natives into giving up their lands and moving westwards for their own needs. This point in time was no different than the last. In the 1850’s, the government established reservations which were dedicated to the Natives. These reservations were scattered around the country, specifically in areas not suitable for American growth. In other words, the lands given to the Natives were completely useless, they were infertile and many who lived there had problems sustaining life. This policy was one of the “successful” ones which worked for a period of time. This specific policy was mainly successful because it scattered the tribes throughout the country. Rebellions could not be made because tribes were not united and had other problems to worry about such as survival. Furthermore, the US government received the prize that they were after; the fertile lands. One policy which did not work so well, revolved around the ruthless slaughter of buffalos. The Native Americans moved quietly when their land was taken away, but when their buffalo became scarce, the Natives revolted. This policy did not work well because it endangered the buffalos which were a big part in the lives of Native American. This led to an uprising against the white settlers. The Natives could always bear the pain to move around the country, but they could not bear the loss of their buffalo. Buffalo in the lives of Native Americans were extremely important because buffalo was used as food and was even used to make household items including weapons and clothing. Many Natives united together under the cause of protecting their buffalo. Natives attacked white settlers and destroyed properties. The whites retaliated in a ruthless massacre of many Natives. These actions started a feud between the two. A conflict grew between Natives and white settlers mainly over the issue of buffalo which soon evolved into many other problems. The US policy in this specific area failed. It left many Natives and white settlers dead, properties were destroyed, and brought back problems between Natives and the US government.

The United States and Their Insatiable Need of Land

Jacksonian Democracy

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:16:43 +0000

Economically, the country suffered and new conflicts were sparked. Andrew Jackson was referred to as the president of the common man. He believed that no one region or class should favor over another. He lived up to that name when he fought hard to give the common man more say within the country. He started by giving all adult white males the right to vote. This was drastic because previously, only land owning white males could vote. These new voting privileges gave a larger population the right to vote. This also greatly raised the national percentage of people who voted. Jacksonian Democracy also led to new presidential rights to the existing spoils system. This gave the president the right to remove existing federal officeholders and replace them for whomever the president chooses. Politically, Andrew Jackson had created new and beneficial opportunities for the common man and had started a new precedence.

Jacksonian Democracy under economic terms led to many conflicts. It started with the tariff of abominations. This tax would increase the tax on imported goods. The tax was used to help influence people to buy goods made within the country. This tariff enraged many southerners because they sold their raw goods to England who would use them to create manufactured goods and sell them in the states. The tariff resulted in loss of business for English manufacturers. This meant that southerners could have a more difficult time to make a living. This tariff was even opposed and discouraged by Jackson’s own vice president John C. Calhoun who secretly fought hard against it. Andrew Jackson was greatly against the national bank because he felt that it would create monopolies for businesses. As a result, he let the second charter die which created an up roar in the American economy. This act was extremely drastic and angered a lot of people. His decision to let the second charter die would “plague the economy for years” (Brinkley 237). This decision also led the creation of the new political party called the Whigs.

Andrew Jackson’s Policy Against The Native Americans

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:13:52 +0000

Andrew Jackson’s main goal was to remove the “savages” which were the Natives and to posses the valuable lands that the Indians owned. Jackson’s goal was to remove the overwhelmingly large majority of Indians who were located east of Mississippi to the reservations that were created just for the Indians west of Mississippi. Some tribes such as Sauk and the Fox Indians fought back against the move under the leadership of Black Hawk, but the brutal white military stopped them. Tribes such as the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw who were referred to as “civilized tribes” decided not to fight back. These tribes agreed to move westward. This movement was known as the Trails of Tears because thousands of Native Americans perished in this harsh, long, and terrible journey. Andrew Jackson’s policy of removal clearly succeeded in that they were able to claim much of the valuable lands and removed the “savages,” but not without the struggles and losses the Indians needed to endure.

Andrew Jackson as “the Symbol for an Age”

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:11:06 +0000

Although some of the task he committed may not be very favorable, President Andrew Jackson was known as the president for the common people. He lived up to that name to an extent when he fought hard to allow even non-land owning white males to vote. Previously, only land owning white males could vote and as a result of his decision, a large percentage of the population voted. This deed alone paved the way toward allowing new rights for the common people. This was one of the more favorable acts that he worked hard to achieve. Unfortunately, he created some problems which enraged parts of the country. It began with the tariffs of abomination, which taxed goods on imported goods. Jackson’s intention was to help influence the American people to buy goods made within the states, but failed to acknowledge the southern perspectives. Southerners sold their raw goods to English who would in return manufacture raw goods into finished goods and sold them in the states. The tariffs resulted in loss of business for the southerners. This made many southerners furious over the imposed tariffs. Next, he decided to let the second charter die. This angered the entire country because people thought the bank was beneficial for the entire country, but Jackson felt that it allowed monopolies. This act plagued the economy and hurt the entire country. Many thought that Jackson was a horrible president because he caused more harm than good. Nevertheless, Andrew Jackson was clearly a symbol for an age because of all the task he had “accomplished,” although they were not exactly favored by the American people.

Seven Ways How to Spoil Your Kid!

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:56:45 +0000

These are 7 ways how to spoil your child! Did you ever wonder how to spoil your child? How to make them behave worse, worse and even worst? You can read it here!

7 ways how to spoil your child:

1. Give him as much money as he wants. You just worked for it so your child will spend it on something stupid but why worry at all?

2. When he curse, or say bad words, just smile to him like you’re approving what they’re doing. They’re just kids, so what if they curse? It’s so sweet.

3. If your child gets in trouble, always be on his side, even if he’s not right. That will make him think he’s always right and he’s the smartest person on the world and that noone can rule him. Isn’t it cute?

4. If your child doesn’t want to study, just don’t force him. Let him play computer games and watch TV a lot. School is nothing, it has no meaning in life and won’t help in finding a job. Right?

5. Give him whatever he wants: toys, money, fast food, candies …. even if he don’t deserve it. So what! You better do that for the rest of your life!

6. Don’t make your child clean up his room or wash dishes. NO! You’re the one who needs to do it!

7. Your child has just eaten breakfast and left whole mess on the table. You clean it! Don’t you dare to call him to tidy it!

How to Deal with Yes Men and The Problems Yes Men Cause

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:37:09 +0000

The First Part of Dealing with Yes Men and the Problems They Can Cause is Identifying Them

First of all a succinct definition of “Yes Men”: Yes Men are men and women who say “yes” to everything you do, agree with everything you say and are always delighted to be of service, meet you or talk to you. Yes Men put you first or, at least, give you the impression that they do. This is fine on the surface but Yes Men will never give you an objective answer and will support you in anything you do (either that or understand the motivations you had in doing anything). By anything, we don’t just mean acts which could be classified as good, charitable or necessary for the well-being of more people than the acts will harm others. Yes Men will agree with and encourage you to commit bad acts, including neglecting your family and neighbours, ruining other people’s lives and not excluding damn right evil act.

Spot the Yes Men Surrounding Celebrities and Pop Stars

Many pop stars and celebrities surround themselves with Yes Men. This is not a coincidence because the reality of Yes Men is they are self serving and into immediate self gratification.

Image via Wikipedia Are demanding celebrities surrounded by Yes Men

The Problems Caused by Yes Men

The problems Yes men cause are quite obvious – if you’re not surrounded by Yes Men and, if you are, can be honest about their existence. Yes Men will abandon ship as soon as the going gets tough and attach themselves to others who will serve them better in the short term. However, once they have jumped ship it is usually too late for the person the Yes Men have abandoned.

Identify and Deal with Yes Men

So, the first part of dealing with Yes Men is being able to identify who they are. If you’re a successful business person, a celebrity or pop star, chances are you are already surrounded by them. If the Yes men haven’t caused the sickness they cause and turned you into an arrogant, selfish and foolish individual who cares nothing for others – you should be able to spot them. The Yes Men are the ones who are doing very well for themselves on the back of you, your influence or money. You can easily spot them. First think up a ridiculous project, second tell them that you are going ahead with it and third ask them if you should. Their answer will be a resounding yes!

The Importance of Dealing with Yes Men

Yes Men are like a cancer which has blighted society (all societies) throughout History. They skew people’s opinions of themselves and allow them to make ridiculous decisions. The world would be a better place if only the Yes Men syndrome was acknowledged and dealt with. Don’t you become the next victim of the Yes Man.

Signs You are Surrounded by Yes Men and Their Characteristics

Look around you, are your old friends anywhere to be seen? If they are not then the chances are you are already infected by Yes Men. Yes Men always get rid of old friends and will attempt to isolate you from your family.

The characteristics of Yes Men – apart from saying “yes” continually are flattery and of course, they never say “no” to you.

Other Terms for Yes Men

Brown nosers, butt lickers and sycophants are just some other terms for Yes Men.

S.p Book/the Joker

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:11:14 +0000

The Serra book Hype My thoughts!

OK so this woman had some ghost writer write her story!

Big Deal to infinity!!!!!

What is so interesting about this woman’s putting her foot in her mouth every time she opens it?

Dose that make her even remotely worthy of the presidency in 2012

Is her life that important or real to warrant the attention she is getting by the paid media?

Or these utter brain washed simpletons who want her to be the Presidential Nominee for the republican parties’ next election!

I was shocked to say the least when I woke up to see a three block long line of people waiting to shell over their hard earned bucks to read her life from book going rouge!

I have to ask people in all seriousness why? If not for John McCain this women would have never been heard of let alone even remotely been interesting enough to pay much attention to!

Have some American people lost all sense god gave them to even bother with this strait out whacked women who has a complex as to accusing every one as being against her!

This writer is confused!

I have to say lady for every one supposedly against you!

You are getting more coverage than the Macy’s thanks giving parade!

You have been on the cover of a lot of magazines.

So much that the ink has not had time to dry before the next photo of you has been pushed in our faces!

Just recently News Week!

Let’s talk about that one for just a second Serra said that cover was sexist!

Wait am I missing something?

Did she not pose for that photo?

Wow”

We have a lot of people lining up for a real winner here folks!

Have many of Americans lives become so sad and mundane that they are willing in this economy to shell out twenty four dollars to another want to be rich palliation.

Instead of putting food on the table or paying a badly needed over due bill

Come on have they not stolen enough of our money and minds already?

I say wake up and stop the hype.

This women’s life in these books is about as truthful as an elephant suddenly deciding to iron out the wrinkles!

Serra is not what a person would call smart women!

When it comes to knowing truth and how the American government even works!

She spouts off on things that she thinks are important.

However in doing so she has no substance or intelligence be hind her road runner ramblings!

She sounds like a ditsy miss America queen pageant runner up saying if I get the crown I will promote world piece with my Alaskan charm of a wink and a prayer to the all mighty!

The news tries to say people dislike her because she prays and is pritty!

That’s what I like about her!

What I hate is the fact she is down right uneducated when it comes to stringing to sentences together and making sense.

Sure she can read a speech that some one else wrote or have a ghost writer tell her life story.

However given time a ghost writer could do the same for a trained parrot who could read a speech the same way!

It dose not mean they understand a bit as to what it means or how to solve any real issues.

Have we not had enough of I think I could be president people who neither know the constitution nor understand the office they are trying to obtain!

Even though Serra may think a wink or Alaska back woods you bet you may see her through!

Honeys this is the real world where real things take place if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen!

Why so many Americans are so willing to ride this wave of Loony cartoon American style antics?

Week after week watching her crocodile tears as to not being able to handle true public opinion!

We dealt with this kind of political hack for eight long years and look were it got us!

Its time to send this lady who could not even handle being a governor packing back to Wassail Alaska and keep her books of fiction untruths on the shelves in the section marked ambition for power the idiots guide!

Next to the book the Emperor has no cloths.
