Is it weird that I'm not obsessed with marriage?
I’m sorry if I’m mistaken and anyone now sees this twice, but I tried posting this a bit ago and I didn’t see it appear on the page (which seems to happen to me a lot, so I figured I’d re-post). Thank you.

Many of my friends are obsessed with having boyfriends and with getting married (we’re teenagers). They worry that it (marriage) won’t happen for them and they hope for specific guys to ask them out. I always listen, and offer advice when they ask for it, but I’m not concerned about dating or anything. I never thought anything of this until it seemed to come up all the time.

These past few years I’ve felt like all of the things I’ve repressed and all of the more current things that upset me have really caught up with me and I think it’s when I really turned to my eating disorder and self-injury that I just stopped even noticing guys beyond them being my friends. Everyone thinks I’m so ecstatically happy all the time (thankfully), so I suppose being so different on the inside from the outside messed with my mind a bit as well. It’s been years since I began engaging in those things, but I still don’t care about dating. Whenever I get asked out I feel ill (being complimented and stuff like that by anyone is so awkward, and it’s all the worse when done by a guy who just wants you to be his girlfriend). Also, I guess I look around at my family and I see so many failed marriages (but between people who are still married), and I hear my mom talking about how badly she wanted kids and how worried she was that she’d be too old (they did get married quite a bit older) and it just sounds like desperation and not love.

I feel like something’s wrong with me. It’s just that if I never get married I won’t care, because unless I meet someone I truly love then what would be the point (what I mean is, why get married out of desperation and spend a lifetime resenting your husband)?

I’m very optimistic about the love lives of others, by the way, so this isn’t supposed to sound cynical. I just wonder, is it weird to have no inclination to date (I’m not scared of winding-up like my family, I just genuinely haven’t met someone who asks me out and doesn’t make me feel like I’m lower than scum and super guilty while doing so- this is an issue with myself and NOT the guys, but I figure one day I’ll either meet someone I say yes to or I’ll never say yes and live my life out just fine as well)?

Thank you for your time.

A biography of Jacques Cousteau

Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King
By Brad Matsen
Pantheon Books; 320 Pages; $27.95
THIRTY years ago Jacques-Yves Cousteau was reckoned to be one of the ten most recognised men in the world. This biography, uncritical but revealing, shows how that happened. Nominally a captain in the French navy, Cousteau spent most of his working life pioneering a new form of celebrity, that of the TV explorer. With his ship, the converted minesweeper Calypso, and a crew of divers with attractive French accents and film-star looks, he patrolled the more photogenic corners of the oceans and documented these exploits in books and television programmes that turned him into a global godfather of undersea adventure.

The secret of this success, explains Brad Matsen, the author of many books and articles about the sea, was nothing to do with the science of oceanography or indeed the science of anything. It was to do with television. In "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau", the documentary series that ran from 1968 and was shown all over the world, and its successor, "The Jacques Cousteau Odyssey", he hit on the thing of which every TV producer dreams: a near-perfect small-screen formula.

First there was the boat. With its attractive lines glowing a telegenic white against the dark ocean, Calypso was an enclosed world, a drama in itself. Then there was the technology. Cousteau was a genuine innovator, having had a hand in developing an underwater breathing apparatus as well as refining techniques for underwater filming and dreaming up nifty little one- or two-person submarines. Above all, he insisted that the technology looked good, especially on film. He was not competing with universities or research institutes but with "Thunderbirds" and James Bond.

And then came the adventure. Every episode made some claim to serious scientific purpose, but the demands of television docudrama meant that sharks, dolphins, whales and buried treasure made very frequent appearances in the schedule. Divers would descend, smiling and joking. Then, suddenly, there was danger–but you could be sure that in the end the divers would be back around the dining table, the wine would flow, and up on the bridge lit only by the ghostly glow of the radar scanner, Captain Cousteau would be plotting course for next week’s adventure.

So it may come as a surprise to those who grew up with the captain to find that in the years of his great celebrity, Cousteau was rarely on board the Calypso. He had a helicopter landing pad built on the ship which enabled him to fly in for an occasional hour or two of filming. Many episodes were actually a fricassee of archive footage spiced with more recent shots.

So where was the captain while Calypso roved? By the 1970s Cousteau was effectively a multinational CEO, dividing his time between lecturing, lobbying and raising money. He divided his time in other ways too: on the death of his wife Simone in 1990, the Cousteau children were surprised to discover that for almost 20 years their father had maintained in secret a second family–a family that now controls the Cousteau estate and legacy.

So what is Cousteau’s legacy? If you consult the index of "A History of Oceanography", a scholarly account published at the very height of his fame, you will find no entries at all under his name. His real contribution was to stoke the popular imagination with images of life beneath the surface of the seas, as seen by men in well-tailored diving gear.


This looks to be a book synopsis. The book is about Jacques Cousteau. It is written by Brad Matsen. The book for sale is rather long and is pretty expensive.

IMDB rating: 2.20

Plot: The abundance of the ocean-lurking creatures always gives grounds to the variety of terrific tales and stories. In this undersea horror suspense by Jay Andrews a research team is sent to the distant oil rig after the SOS signal was received. Arrived on the rig, the researchers found it completely empty, with no soul aboard; there were almost no trace of life. As Captain Jack Griffin (Billy Warlock) and Professor Anna Davis (Catherine Lough Haggquist) proceed into the depths of the underwater constructions, accompanied by their fellow team, they begin to loose people in the desperate attempts to find out what has happened to the oil rig crew. To mention, sharks and spurts are not the most terrible sea creatures…

Question for Police/law enforcement?
(don’t answer if you don’t know or don’t want to say)

As many of you know our nation is on the verge of collapse, we are shredding jobs at a 500k-650K click that will not stop. Our nations unemployment rate (U6) is near 20%, or nation is spending 4 billion per Month more than it takes in and it’s getting worse everyday.

Any of you that watch what has been happening over the past 27 Months knows that the unthinkable is beginning to happen right before our eyes…the next 6-9 Months will tell the real story.

The question:

1) Are you prepared for the civil unrest that we will see (IF) our nation collapses!

2) Have any of you received any special training (lately) for this very strong possibility?
thanks John……just keeping thinking everything is wonderful!
Prozac: The people getting benfits are 10.1%..but the U6 employment rate (the real one) is 17.9%…that’s includes the people who
’s benifits have ran out and off the grid


First of all. No, they are not ready for it. But the unemployment rate is 10.1% as of right now

Regardless, it’s to much. That’s nearly 35 MILLION unemployed people.

Civil unrest is heading our way, but it’s going to be a slaughter house in the cities. Those that revolt in urban areas and begin looting and such will be immediately dealt with. It will verge on the brink of Marshall Law.

I am prepared. I am not a pig. I will be on your side, or you will be on mine. Either way. Ohio has decent rural locations to hole up, and fish/game stores galore. We will be alright for a while, but a better vantage point would definitely be West Virginia. I’m in NE Ohio now, Canton/Akron way. America needs to begin to uniform our struggle rather than be prepared to ‘personally’ deal with it. We need allies, support, etc.

Email me. For real

My answer is that I think you are slightly paranoid. The people in this country like to talk about such things, however most people are too lazy or too scared to do anything about it. Most people want to sit back and enjoy their nice, cushy lives.

I think you should lay off the politics for a month and see how you feel. If you do so, you’ll see that if you don’t read the news everyday, things aren’t all that bad.
John | Feb 04, 2010


Assuming the worst is only going to make you unhappier in life than you otherwise could be.

1 – The nation won’t collapse, and if it ever were to, I’m not sure anybody would be prepared.
2 – No.
|–Kebert Xela–| | Feb 04, 2010


I am actually in the Bolshevik army, and we have actually been planning this for years. I want to know who told you all of this info?
Thomas | Feb 04, 2010


You got your facts wrong.
You know nothing of history when things were much much worse. In just recent history during the Nixon years we devalued the dollar, had an inflation rate of 14% and an unemployment rate of up to 17%. Nor civil unrest over any of that. Bad times lasted for year.s
And even when racists tried to foment unrest with assassinations and lynchings and such there was comparatively little.

In the US most cops are given training and equipment for emergencies, be they terrorist attacks or civil unrest.

The last time I experienced civil unrest (and it stayed in small areas and was over in hours) was when some sports team won a championship, not from your reasons.

Spiritually speaking, if there was a zombie apocalypse. . .?
What type of personality do you have that’ll carry you through this bleak period?

a. The Betrayer (You’re in a group of friends, you get bitten, you’re afraid to commit suicide or tell your friends the inevitable because you don’t want to get shoot in a face by your boyfriend or your mother. But you wind up getting killed anyway so why make it so difficult, huh?)

b. The Dictator (You’re a leader of the militia that fends off zombies. Once you find the survivors, you just can’t let them off your site and threatens them to death if they want to leave your little colony. . . you control freak bastard.)

c. The Selfless Sacrifice ("Go on, leave me, save yourself"! *Takes a machine gun and barricades yourself between your friend and a door being filled with zombies*)

d. The Expert/Lone Ranger (You’re like the Wolverine, a survivor, and you don’t need no nobody, cause you’re a tough guy and a small talker. Then again, you might meet. . .)

e. The Innocent Child (A pain in the a**, you have someone to carry around you as he lets you get exposed to all the gristly gore and violent events. He might wish he could just throw you into the river. But that’ll mean he’s a jacka**, and zombie films show that jacka**es are usually among the first ones to go.)

f. An Average Joe (You are just you. You dunno how you survived the initial outbreak, or how you managed to survive up to thi- OMG LOOK BEHIND YOU!)

Happy Belated Halloween!


C. Except that I’m the sacrifice that manages to escape the zombie hoards after coming up with an ingenious exit. Plus, I’m hot….

-A ferocious creature that was half man – half bull?

Asterion, the Minotaur. His mother was Pasiphae, the queen of Crete, his father was the holy bull that had been sent by Poseidon as a sacrifice.
See, Minos – the king – was supposed to have sacrificed it to Poseidon (after claiming none of his own cattle was good enough) but he found the bull so fine, he sacrificed another one instead. Poseidon was furious, and he sent the bull into a rage and drove Pasiphae insane, so she fell in love with the beast and wanted to mate with it. So she had Daedalus, the engineer, build a wooden cow she could get inside and lure the bull.
Well… it worked… and she became pregnant… and she gave birth to Asterion.
Minos had him locked up inside the Labyrinth.
Traditionally, the Minotaur (=`Bull of Minos?) is endowed with the body of a man, but the head of a bull.

-The youngest + most powerful of Uranus & Gaea’s Titan Children?

Chronos, who ended up overthrowing his father, just as his son Zeus would eventually overthrow him.

- The god known for his winged sandels & helmet?

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, as well as being the god of merchants, travellers and thieves, and particularly of thieving travelling merchants.
He also guided the souls of the dead to the underworld.

- The hero who defeated the Minotuar?

That was Theseus of Athens. He was aided in his endeavour by princess Ariadne, the Minotaur?s half-sister, who gave him a sword and a long, long length of string, so he could trace his steps back out of the Labyrinth.

- Hero who killed Medusa?

Perseus, a demi-god; the son of Zeus and a mortal princess. Slaying the Gorgon Medusa was a quest he had to fulfill to claim his birth-right.
Medusa was one of the children of Keto and Phorkys, primordial sea-monsters. She was one of triplets; her monstrous sisters Stheno and Euryale were identical twins, but she did not look like them. She was also not immortal like they were.
Medusa had actually been an attractive woman, but the goddess Athena, in a fit of jealousy, had cast a curse on her, turning he hair into snakes, and making it so that anyone who looked her in the eye would turn to stone.
Perseus first got the counsel of the Graiai, three women who had been born as old ladies, sisters of the Gorgons, who shared only one eye and only one tooth between them. They gave him a sword and a polished shield, which he used as a mirror to avoid looking at Medusa directly.

- Location of the palace of the gods & goddesses?

Mount Olympus.

- Where Gaea sprang from (A dark, shapeless mass)?

Chaos.

- Goddess of agriculture?

Demeter.

- One eyed monster?

Cyclops. The original Cyclopes were Brontes, Steropes and Arges, triplets born from Gaia and Ouranos.
The Odyssey tells of a race of Cyclopes, the most famous of whom was the tragic brute, Polyphemus.

- God of fire & blacksmiths?

Hephaestos, one of only two children of Hera and Zeus; when he was born, he was so ugly Hera threw him off Olympus, which is why he limps. But he is the most brilliant of craftsmen, and he has his smithy under the volcano Etna.

- Nine headed serpent?

The Hydra of Lerna, one of the monstrous offspring of Typhon and Echidna. Its venom was incredibly deadly, and for every head that was cut off, it would sprout two new ones; also, its ninth head was immortal. The hero Heracles had a hard time with the beast, but his cousin Iolaus helped him out by searing the wounded necks shut before new heads could grow, so eventually only the immortal head was left. Heracles buried that under a rockslide.

- Hero who battled Polyphemus?

Strictly speaking, nobody BATTLED Polyphemus. But Odysseus tricked the cyclops: first, he gave the giant a false name (Odeis; that?s Greek for `Nobody?), then he offered him strong wine (this wine was supposed to be watered down for drinking; also, Polyphemus was not used to alcohol); finally, when the giant cannibal slept, he and his men cut a big beam into a spike and hardened the tip in the fire; and they stabbed out his eye.
They did not kill him because then they would have been trapped in the cave, because they were unable to move the huge rock Polyphemus used for a door. Now, he let out his herd of sheep to feed in the morning, and Odysseus and his men escaped by hanging on to the underside of the big sheep.

- Goddess who stayed near the hearth?
