I won't promise anything to you but I will write something that makes sense soon. Well, I'll try. Assuming I don't get distracted by counting my chest hairs..

The Queen's Rook

Congrats! Only 5-6% of the population score this!

The Queen’s Rook is a pensive, analytical individual. They don’t mind spending long periods of time on their own to work through problems. They may venture so far into thought they appear vacant or detached; often they really are oblivious of the world at that moment. These wayward princes are precise about descriptions and by habit correct others (or feel sorely tempted) if the shade of meaning is slightly off. This is annoying to the less concise, but this is what gives the Queen’s Rook a gift for gab, especially in writing.

This Rook is relatively easy going until their principles of truth, knowledge and justice are violated. Because of this they hate the formalities of bureaucracy, politics, and authority – which tend to mask the truth of operations. They will respond with a flip of the switch and become outspoken and inflexible. They will eventually drop the issue, because they do prefer a reserved and benign ambiance. The problem with the Queen’s Rook is when they are debating a point; they may be convincing themselves as much as their opponent. They spend a considerable amount of time second-guessing their abilities and may come to multiple conclusions that offer plausible solutions.

An indicator that a friend may be a Queen’s Rook is an obsession with logic. If a mistake is made, it is because there wasn’t enough data or it was placed out of context. Another indicator you’re friend is a Rook, throw a strategy game at them. They enjoy Risk, Bridge, Chess, and word games. Never rush the Rook. They don’t draw conclusions very quickly. If one were to gather a bunch of Rooks together to form a group they may debate:

1.) Whether or not there should be a group.

2.) Exactly what name should the proposed group choose?

3.) Which of the persons in the group should take responsibility or should they rotate?

What is TC talking about?

clipped from www.mtv.com KSW: Keeping Scientology Working. Refers to a policy LRH published in 1965 that requires all Scientologists to follow his words and rules exactly. "It is something that you have to earn": Cruise is referring to taking Scientology courses. the tab for wisdom can be hundreds if not thousands of dollars. "Am I going to look at that guy or am I too afraid?" According to former and current members, pre-clears have to learn to look someone straight in the eye for hours. out-ethics If you misbehave, you have "out-ethics. SP: "Suppressive Person." An SP is someone who commits suppressive acts, like murder, criticizing Scientology or altering LRH's teachings Journalists are automatically considered SPs because they traffic in bad news and so are barred from entering Scientology. Psychiatrists would also be SPs PTS: "Potential Trouble Sources," as in Scientologists who are losing the faith or are being influenced by an SP.

The things that people will buy into -- and Scientology is something one literally has to buy into -- is enough sometimes to make me think that insanity is the norm for the human race. But then what is "insanity", really? Usually it refers to people operating outside of the norm. The farther outside of what's considered "normal" (for any given society) one's actions/ lifestyle/ personality happen to be, the more likely said society is to label them as "crazy". Hence, by this definition, it is impossible for insanity to be the norm amongst society as a whole. But despite the subjective relativity of "insanity", most individuals tend to view "mental illness" as an objective concept. Were insanity truly objective, it would then be possible for insanity to be the norm. However, in this instance, the "normal" person wouldn't recognize their own insanity. It would only be recognized by those abnormal few that were lucky enough to be spared mental illness. Of course the majority of society would likely consider that small objectively sane population to be the insane ones. Or perhaps rather than insane, they would simply be viewed as "SPs", "sinners", "heathens", "infidels" or any of the other names societies "religions" have for people whose belief systems differ from their own.

Knife Thief Stabs Self While Fleeing

clipped from www.foxnews.com The suspect was hospitalized after Monday night's attempted theft from a Meijer Inc. superstore in Grand Rapids and is expected to face a misdemeanor shoplifting charge, police say. The wounds did not appear to be life-threatening, The Grand Rapids Press reported. The man had put about $300 worth of hunting knives in his waistband, police told WZZM-TV. Police say he tried to leave the store, but Meijer employees confronted him and a scuffle followed. The man then fell and was stabbed by the knives he had hidden in his clothing, police said. They said it happened about 5:40 p.m. "I saw a man laying down on the mat by the carts, a knife by him with blood on the full blade of the knife," shopper Heather Dodd told WOOD-TV. "It was not a dull kitchen knife or a sharp butcher's knife, it was somewhere in between. "Someone was holding him down so I just walked around him, grabbed my cart, made sure everything was OK and got out of the way."

College Girls Drinking More and Wearing Less

clipped from www.dbtechno.com The researchers went to 66 different college parties to try and get a feel for what college life was all about in the modern era. The lead author of the study, John Clapp, director of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Studies and Services at San Diego State University stated that the women were the most notable parts of the college party experience. He stated that “One of the most surprising things to us was the theme-party finding that women drank more at these. We started going to theme parties like toga parties or costume parties, with highly sexualized themes and with the women wearing not very much.” “What was surprisingw as it was one of fre places that we know of that women actually outdrank men; we’re not exactly sure why. It could have something to do with fact that they aren’t dressed.” The basic premise here is that at college parties it is no longer the guys tearing their shirts off and getting drunk, it is the girls doing it more than ever.

I wanna know who funded this "research". I hope it wasn't a gov't grant. I really hope nobody paid these guys to go around to a bunch of college parties where there were drunken half-naked college girls lol.

Changing abortion's pronoun

clipped from www.latimes.com 'We had abortions,' say men whose lovers ended pregnancies. It isn't just a women's trauma, they insist. But critics see a political calculation. Abortion is usually portrayed as a woman's issue: her body, her choice, her relief or her regret. This new movement -- both political and deeply personal in nature -- contends that the pronoun is all wrong. When men are widely recognized as victims, Rue said, "that will change society." The concept of post-abortion trauma is hotly disputed. It may be, she said, that women who have abortions are more emotionally unstable in the first place. Shostak encourages clinics to reach out to these men. But he views the activist movement with alarm. The men are urged to think of themselves as fathers, to name -- and ask forgiveness from -- the children they might have raised "They draw in men who may have a little ambivalence, possibly a little guilt, and they exacerbate those feelings," Shostak said.

I've often felt that the needs and rights of men are overlooked when it comes to abortion. And that the whole "my body, my choice" justification by women is lame and selfish. However, I'm still pro-choice. I have my own non-selfish justifications for abortion. That being said...
If these men feel some sense of comfort from coming together and acknowledging their pain, then that's what they should do. But recognizing men as "victims" to abortion? And asking them to think of themselves as fathers and name the children their partners aborted... and ask them for forgiveness? That's going to far. Doesn't sound healthy to me. I know a woman who runs a post-abortion group for women that employs that same method of "recovery". I think it likely contributes more to the need of recovery than helps anyone.
And this new men's movement is already being politicized -- encouraging men to tell their stories of post-abortion trauma in hopes of tugging at the heart strings of American voters. If the Christian Right can't scare us into believing as they do with threats of an eternity in Hell, then they'll create a psychological and societal crisis where none exists. Pitiful.
