A pengelum

please exuse my spelling during this.

i was reading somebody elses blog and it talked about violence in the world, about the nazis and such. well i'm going 2 give my opinion on some things.

i think that our country, every country actually, is like a pengelum. in the sense of politics, war, stuff like that. its hard 2 explain, so tell me if i don't make sense.

wen our country makes a decision about... lets say, if we want 2 be a democratic or republican nation, our opinions are greatly swayed by our current situation. which is by no means a bad thing. but wen we make a decision, we can't seem 2 stick with it, after a little, we get sick of being one way or the other. a good example of this would be war. not long ago werent we all wanting 2 go 2 war?!!! well not all of us, but alot were. now that we got wat we wanted in the 1st place, wat do we do? complain about how Bush didnt make the right decision and that we dont want another republican president because we want out of this war. THE 1 WE WANTED!!!! so as u see. wen the pengelum swings one way it stays there, but only 4 a little, then it swings 2 the other side. just like the opinions of our world.

i would love 2 hear your thought on this matter- Taylor Tot

Insightful post. & I think you're correct. Once we get what we want we always want something different. & sometimes it can be overly frustrated. Or sometimes we realize we didn't make the right desision. Hit me back when you have time. :)

I think you're right! People get carried away with a big rush of enthusiasm about something, like going to war, then start thinking it was a bad idea and blame others for making a bad decision. I've caught myself doing it, and I need to be honest: if I liked an idea at the time, then I can't back out if it turns out to be a bad one. What you say about a pengelum is true. Things swing one way, then another, and there should be a good balance in the middle -if people can just get to it! You get it with rules, too. In the past there were so many rules people can hardly do anything, then they swing to a wild 'anything goes', which can go to far. I'm glad to read your post - I hope lots of other people do to.

I forgot to add this to my comment: you make PERFECT sense. Like you say, it's the current situation. People get fired up with an idea, and act a certain way, then get tired of it and want to go the other. "Pengulum" is what it is!

i have to slightly disagree with one thing you said. we didn't get what we wanted in the Iraqi war because what we were all told the reason behind this war was that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction. obviously that wasn't true. so no, we did not get what we wanted.

but i defiantly agree with the idea as a whole. it's a good idea don't get me wrong. and just so you know, that top part sounds way meaner than it's supposed to. sorry. i just don't have the effort to change it right now. talk to you later. bye.

MGMT are some mainstream band right now. They aren't very big nor very good. But their one song 'Electric Feel' is really catchy. And groovy. Which is sorta cool.

Oh yes. Groovy is a great word. Reminds me of the 70s and the 80s. Which is cool. And groovy. Go to see that you are fighting for that muse cd. It really does rock. I'll post on another post on Muse. I'm just in a very Muse-mood. Thanx for commenting... three times...

Of course, there is more than one strategy to run into profits. A forklift driver can commonly discover themselves working in a group environment, typically having a fast pace, hence the capability to communicate clearly along with a capacity for the stress which occurs out of a fast-paced occupation while still having a great can assist you greatly in this particular occupation. You can go in for new or used auto parts depending upon your needs and budget. When compared to the new auto body parts, the second hand auto parts offer some disadvantages. Depending upon what you are looking for, you may not be able to get the full history of part or the vehicle it came from. This is quite risky. You may not realize it in the beginning but very soon the part that you bought may break done if the proper history is not available. The second hand spare parts may cost half the price of the new ones but ion the long run it may prove to be an expensive proposition. The suppliers do not offer any guaranty on the second hand spares for the automobiles.
