WHERE DOES A CRUISELINE GO FOR FINANCING?
THEY GO TO WALLSTREET!!! (no ust because they offer an IPO doesn’t mean… aaaaaaaaugh)
There is clip art and powerpoint effects about ‘DIVIDENDS!!!” and “BONDS!!!”
Bonds give a fixed rate of interest! 7.5 interest, 15 year.
conversion means you can make a bond into a stock? this is a bad explanation.

Anonymous asked you:
So your writeups on the recent debates are really good! But, I still am wondering, why exactly is it any writers duty to focus on these issues, and if it is how are they suppose to approach it? At times I feel like everyone expects the authors to have a checklist of things that they need to cover, when the author might not be able to relate to some of...
The Wage Gap and White Privilege

iamateenagefeminist:
I’m very tired of hearing that women only make 77 cents on the male’s dollar. It’s not a correct statistic. It should read: White women only make 77 cents on the white man’s dollar.
That’s the real statistic.
Not all women are white. WOMEN don’t make 77 cents on the dollar, WHITE WOMEN do.
It’s important to remember.

Can we please stop talking about Karen Santorum's...
jessicavalenti:
Here’s the thing. I get why people want to talk about whether or not Rick Santorum’s wife had an abortion in her second trimester of pregnancy. Santorum is anti-choice like a motherfucker - he’s not just anti-abortion, he’s anti-birth control. So I really do understand the desire to call him out as a hypocrite.
But being pro-choice means respecting all women’s privacy...

Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

My Occupy LA Arrest by Patrick Meighan
darcibastiaan:
My name is Patrick Meighan, and I’m a husband, a father, a writer on the Fox animated sitcom “Family Guy”, and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica.
I was arrested at about 1 a.m. Wednesday morning with 291 other people at Occupy LA. I was sitting in City Hall Park with a pillow, a blanket, and a copy of Thich Nhat Hanh’s “Being Peace” ...

Non-lethal weapons are designed to hurt people
squashed:
There seems to be some confusion regarding appropriate and inappropriate use of weapons on non-violent protestors. Let’s clear up three things.
Non-violence is not the same as non-forceful or legal. A protester sitting in a sidewalk in violation of the law and in direct contravention of a police order is not a violent protester. A protest blocking a sidewalk or building may be a...
What to do if you see someone have a seizure
epilepsysupportgroup:
An easy way to remember what to do is to remember ACTION:
Only call an ambulance if you think it is this person’s first seizure, they are injured, it lasts longer than five minutes or one seizure follows another without regaining consciousness. Seizures normally last a few minutes and often the person will lay unconscious after the seizure for a few minutes before...

We know the first part: Africans came to the US as slaves. Until the Mid 50s and early 60s, African Americans were not welcome in society.
