| | The Good Ol’ Days of Horror | | I have been a fan of horror and horror movies for almost as long as I can remember. I have been through the various phases of horror. When I was a kid it was common to find those black and white movies that probably instilled terror into the hearts of movie audiences in the 1930s. Back in those days, during the depression, the idea of mummies and vampires was probably pretty scary. Bela Lugosi in a cape and speaking in a strange accent was probably enough to scare the heck out of people.Even as a kid I never found those monster movies very scary. I mean, for crying out loud, you could get Dracula, Phantom of the Opera and Frankenstein’s Monster action figures when I was a kid. How scary is it when you can get a plastic toy to play with? Especially when the plastic toy is only slightly bigger than the Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader action figures I had sitting somewhere across the room, how scary can they really be?When I first started watching movies on video it was the time when the slasher films had just started to take over. I watched Halloween and had nightmares. It was wonderful. Like all trends, however, before too long the entire pool was saturated and by... | |

| | What Does a Wheelchair Do? | | What Does a Wheelchair Do?
Daniel’s motorized wheelchair was nothing like the old-fashioned kind you see in black and white movies — or like the one President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used. No longer are wheelchairs heavy and difficult to maneuver. Today's wheelchairs are lighter, faster, and easier to use. Many use computer technology and offer better support for a person’s back, neck, head, and legs. They also include safety features such as automatic brakes and anti-tipping devices.Power wheelchairs have many advantages for kids who need them. Electronic controllers can help a kid who uses a wheelchair drive smoothly, brake easily, and make the wheelchair move with the touch of a hand or even by puffing on a special straw! Some hand controllers look like a joystick used to play a video game and are easy to operate. | |

| Modern Fetishism | | Say it: “sexual perversions” and you’ll feel dry dust of communist medicine textbooks and hear the rustle of group flags, since perversions exist only in shaggy paragraphs of “Sexual pathology guide” but not in real life. Sex and love are beautiful and natural in any form. Formerly fetishism seemed a decorative volute on a mighty body of sadomasochism – many people confused these lifestyles. Though, nowadays everybody knows the difference. The style is around and people yielded to the beauty of elegant style. But don’t think that everything pertaining to aesthetics of boots, coats and wide crossing belts is homosexual. The matter isn’t in sexual orientation. It’s true that many inverts are carried away with fetishism, for unisexual people often feel style and image even better than heterosexual. Homosexuals develop game rules but they don’t play them alone. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t obligatory be a gey or lesbian, sadist or masochist just because you like black-and-white movies and soft and deeps chairs. Today, not only enamored athletes and rude dominas wear leather, latex and high shrill heels: fashion has done a good favor to everybody. No we know that slinky leather... | |

Michael Jackson did not create this move but when he performed it it shook the nation. It was perfomed in onld black and white movies. It was called the backslide. | |

| Treatment of veterans what do you think? | | Everyone knows that the US Veterans who fought in Viet Nam were treated badly when they returned home. This morning I watched an old black and white movie about World War 2 veterans who went through the same thing. I never watch old black and white movies but this had me interested.
They went through the usual problems of not being able to get work and had to settle for work in drug stores and junk yards even though they had prestiges jobs before joining the service. People would start arguments with them about the US fighting overseas. One man had lost both of his hands and a lot of people told him he lost them for nothing.
My ex husband was a Viet Nam vet and I know first hand how they were treated and it definately wasn't with a big welcome home parade.
What are your feelings on US Veterans and they way they are treated? Do you have any experiences with it? | |
