He said he would end the war in 09'.. he said he opposed it from the get go, and talked about the harm it's caused our country in blood and treasure.

  18. by Thomas J. Schumacher, Psy.D., R-CSW More About Thomas... Most all of you have had to contend with control freaks. These are those people who insist on having their way in all interactions with you. They wish to set the agenda and decide what it is you will do and when you will do it. You know who they are ? they have a driving need to run the show and call the shots. Lurking within the fabric of the conversation is the clear threat that if you do not accede to their needs and demands, they will be unhappy. Certainly, it?s natural to want to be in control of your life. But when you have to be in control of the people around you as well, when you literally can?t rest until you get your way ? you have a personality disorder. While it?s not a diagnostic category found in the DSM IV (the therapist?s bible for diagnostic purposes) an exaggerated emphasis on control is part of a cluster of behaviors that can be labeled as compulsive generally characterized by perfectionism, orderliness, workaholic tendencies, an inability to make commitments or to trust others and a fear of having their flaws exposed. Deep down, these people are terrified of being vulnerable. They believe they can protect themselves by staying in control of every aspect of their lives, including their relationships. Control freaks take the need and urge to control to new heights, causing others stress so they can maintain a sense of order. These people are riddled with anxiety, fear, insecurity, and anger. They?re very critical of themselves their lover and their friends, but underneath that perfect outfit and great body is a mountain of unhappiness. Let?s look at what makes control freaks tick, what makes you want to explode, and some ways to deal with them. The Psychological Dynamics That Fuel a Control Freak The need to control is almost always fueled by anxiety ? though control freaks seldom recognize their fears. At work, they may worry about failure. In relationships, they may worry about not having their needs met. To keep this anxiety from overwhelming them, they try to control the people or things around them. They have a hard time with negotiation and compromise and they can?t stand imperfection. Needless to say, they are difficult to live with, work with and/or socialize with. Bottom Line: In the process of being controlling, their actions say, ?You?re incompetent? and ?I can?t trust you.? (this is why you hate them). Remember, the essential need of a control freak is to defend against anxiety. Although it may not be apparent to you when they are making their demands, these individuals are attempting to cope with fairly substantial levels of their own anxiety. The control freak is usually fighting off a deep-seated sense of their own helplessness and impotence. By becoming proficient at trying to control other people, they are warding off their own fear of being out of control and helpless. Controlling is an anxiety management tool. Unfortunately for you, the control freak has a lot at stake in prevailing. While trying to hold a conversation and engage them in some way, their emotional stakes involve their own identity and sense of well-being. Being in control gives them the temporary illusion and sense of calmness. When they feel they are prevailing, you can just about sense the tension oozing out of them. The control freak is very frightened. Part of their strategy is to induce that fear in you with the subtle or not so subtle threat of loss. Since the emotional stakes are so high for them, they need to assert themselves with you to not feel so helpless. To relinquish control is tantamount to being victimized and overwhelmed. When a control freak cannot control, they go through a series of rapid phases. First they become angry and agitated, then they become panicky and apprehensive, then they become agitated and threatening, and then they lapse into depression and despair. Repetition Compulsion Control freaks are also caught in the grip of a repetition compulsion. They repeat the same pattern again and again in their attempt to master their anxiety and cope with the trauma they feel. Characteristically, the repetition compulsion takes on a life of its own. Rather than feel calmer and therefore have a diminished need to be controlling, their behavior locks them into the same pattern in an insatiable way. Successes at controlling do not register on their internal scoreboard. They have to fight off the same threat again and again with increasing rigidity and intransigence. Two Types of Control Freaks Type 1 Control Freaks: The Type 1 control freak is strictly attempting to cope with their anxiety in a self absorbed way. They just want to feel better and are not even very aware of you. You will notice and hear their agitation and tentativeness. They usually do not make much eye contact when they are talking to you. Type 2 Control Freaks: The Type 2 control freak is also trying to manage their anxiety but they are very aware of you as opposed to the Type 1 control freak. The Type 2 needs to diminish you to feel better. Their mood rises as they push you down. They do not just want to prevail; they also need to believe that they have defeated you. They need you to feel helpless so they will not feel helpless. Their belief is that someone must feel helpless in any interchange and they desperately do not want it to be them. The Type 1 needs control. The Type 2 needs to control you. Some Coping Strategies 1) Stay as calm as you can. Control freaks tend to generate a lot of tension in those around them. Try to maintain a comfortable distance so that you can remain centered while you speak with them. Try to focus on your breathing. As they get more agitated and demanding, just breath slowly and deeply. If you stay calm and focused, this often has the effect of relaxing them as well. If you get agitated you have joined the battle on their terms. 2) Speak very slowly. Again the normal tendency is to gear up and speak rapidly when dealing with a control freak. This will only draw you into the emotional turmoil and you will quickly be personalizing what is occurring. 3) Be very patient. Control freaks need to feel heard. In fact, they do not have that much to say. They have a lot to say if you engage them in a power struggle. If you just listen carefully and ask good questions that indicate that you have heard them, then they will quickly resolve whatever the issue is and calmly move on. 4) Pay attention to your induced reactions. What is this person trying to emotionally induce in you? Notice how you feel when speaking with them. It will give you important clues as to how to deal with them more effectively and appropriately. 5) Initially, let them control the agenda. But you control the pacing. If you stay calm and speak slowly, you will be in command of the pacing of the conversation. 6) Treat them with kindness. Within most control freaks is a good measure of paranoia. They are ready to get angry and defend against what they perceive is a controlling hostile world. If you treat them with respect and kindness, their paranoia cannot take root. You will jam them up. 7) Make demands on them-- especially when dealing with the type 2 control freak. Ask them to send you something or do something for you. By asking something of them, you will be indicating that you are not intimidated or diminished by their behavior patterns. 8) Remember an old but poignant Maxim: ?Those who demand the most often give the least.? Keep in mind that control freaks are not trying to hurt you ? they?re trying to protect themselves. Remind yourself that their behavior toward you isn?t personal; the compulsion was there before they met you, and it will be their forever unless they get help. Understand that they are skilled manipulators, artful and intimidating, rehearsed debaters and excellent at distorting reality. In order to not feel degraded, humiliated and have your sense of self and self worth assaulted, you need to avoid being bulldozed by a controlling lover, boss or friend. When you are caught up in a truly destructive/controlling attachment, the best response may be to walk out. You have to understand that whatever you do will have a limited effect. These people are angry and afraid to let go of you. Hence, it is your job to let go of them, protect yourself in the process? and grow.
  19. My own Prison Creed A court is in session, a verdict is in No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel Silence now the sound My breath the only motion around Demons cluttering around My face showing no emotion Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return Here there is no penance My skin begins to burn (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) We're all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I hear a thunder in the distance See a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given On that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness Only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden And grant me life eternally Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) We're all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one [Guitar break] I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) We're all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) We're all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one Should've been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tryHFhhpJss]YouTube - Creed[/ame]

Children of the Sea Black Sabbath In the misty morning, on the edge of time Weve lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky We sailed across the air before we learned to fly We thought that it could never end Wed glide above the ground before we learned to run, run Now it seems our world has come undone Oh they say that its over And it just had to be Ooh they say that its over Were lost children of the sea, oh We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played Hiding in our corner of the world Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore Threw away the key and locked the door Oh they say that its over, yeah And it just had to be Yes they say that its over Were lost children of the sea In the misty morning, on the edge of time Weve lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky Oh they say that its over, yeah And it just had to be Oh they say that its over Poor lost children of the sea, yeah Look out! the sky is falling down! Look out! the world is spinning round and round and round! Look out! the sun is going black, black Look out! its never never never coming back, look out!

  22. A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road. ~ Henry Ward Beecher Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. ~ George Carlin Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? ~ George Carlin Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood. ~ Mary Hirsch The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm. ~ George Carlin I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at ~ unknown If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. ~ Mahatma Gandhi Humor is mankind's greatest blessing. ~ Mark Twain One never needs their humor as much a when they argue with a fool. ~ Chinese Proverbs A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. ~ Hugh Sidey The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes. ~ William Davis It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously. ~ Oscar Wilde
  23. Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world. ~ Albert Schweitzer The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery. ~ Frederick Douglass Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.~ Winston Churchill Morality becomes hypocrisy if it means accepting mothers suffering or dying in connection with unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortions - and unwanted children living in misery ~ Unknown Pride is seldom delicate, it will please itself with very mean advantages; and envy feels not its own happiness, but when it may be compared with the misery of others. ~ Samuel Johnson The man who loves his country prefers its liberty to all other considerations, well knowing that without liberty life is a misery. ~ Andrew Hamilton The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable. ~ Theodore Parker The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune. ~ Fran?ois de la Rochefoucauld So many able writers have shown that the unjust institutions which work so much misery and suffering to the masses have their root in governments, and owe their whole existence to the power derived from government we cannot help but believe that were every law, every title deed, every court, and every police officer or soldier abolished tomorrow with one sweep, we would be better off than now. ~ lunaleelee Lucy Parsons In seperateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. ~ Buddha Misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows. ~ William Shakespeare
  24. Where fore art thou, eddo?
  25. Awsome quotes... Seems like a wise man... specially liked this one.. Marriage: a ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman. ~ Herbert Spencer
