You are not alone that have “waiting approval” submitted posts. There are a lot of us here. The admin has to review those pending posts. They have to check them for plagiarism. If there are not plagiarized items they have seen, they are going to approve them.

Let’s bear their work. Let’s wait and have more patience. In my case, I have to do some writing jobs here in which I could earn more points while waiting for the approval of my pending posts. Lately, I had three pending posts and when I checked them today, they went all “live”.

I love both to read. Hardbound or softbound books have the same content with their equivalent in ebooks format. The latter could be accessed anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. It is handier or convenient as compared to the physical books. And you don’t have to buy them. Unless they are not available for free you have to pay them.

@dawnwriter, let’s point out this way that there are two sides of the coins. In fairness to those criminals especially the rapists. First, the man generally has no intention to rape the girl for he’s afraid to do it. But the situation so warrants it, due to the seductive appearance of the girl like wearing a sexy dress, wearing a skirt above the knee. Meaning, it is the situation that rape should be committed because of that.

Secondly, due to too much exposure to pornography materials, lewd shows and movies. The individual may be tempted to practice on what he has seen. He wants to satisfy his lust for that matter. Now we know as to how, whether to condemn the rapist or not, to impose the death penalty or not.

@swalia I have heard that gruesome, ganged rape of that teenage girl who is a nurse. You’re right it too several years to catch those rapists and one who is a minor, just served a correctional imprisonment which his crime is not fully compensated. That is the hole of the law. The crime couldn’t be satisfied though it has been served for the penalty, but in reality it is not sufficient to repay the crime committed.

@dawnwrite I would like to subscribe to your suggestion that if more murderers, terrorists and rapists are hanged every month, the crime rate would significantly drop. But in reality, there is not significant decline of crime rate. What does it mean? Death penalty doesn’t contribute much for the reduction of crime commissions.

@slayer08 Everyone is also aiming for that, for a peaceful, safe community to live. But it seems impossible to have it in the chaotic world where we live. People fight to survive. Government is incapable to provide for the needs of its people. So as with the peace and order which couldn’t be attended to. So we’ve nothing option to recommend but to impose death penalty. What a pity to those innocents!

@s-stephens Killing a criminal is wrong and prisons are over populated. People’s taxes are spent to support the criminals in the prison and for the maintenance of the prison. They are seemed to be impractical. That is correct. We have the same situation here like yours. But what we can do? As an ordinary citizen of our country, what else we can do, then?

If I were to differentiate religion and spirituality, I would point out its purpose, its administration, and its end or accomplishment. Religion is to conduct the physical rites or ordinances towards the attainment of one’s spirituality. While spirituality is the willingness and the spiritual preparation of the self to perform such religious ordinances for his salvation. There are the ministers, pastors, priests, Church leaders to the administration the Church organization while spirituality is for oneself.

There are three things to make your blog attracted to others and they may be compelled to comment. Not recommended, but there are some who are doing these.

First, make a weird title. The man bites the dog.

Secondly, divert from the normal flow of thoughts. Oppose others in their statement by proving them in a non-sense way.

Thirdly, assert lie as truth. Everything that goes up must not come down.

Another one, though this could be not a permanent one, treat everyone as your enemy. Of course, they will be surprised for that and they’re thinking that you become a fool. They may either pity you or curse you.

Do those things sound feasible? Yes, they are except the admin will filter it or hold it and finally refuses it.

However, practically speaking, everyone who joins here may oblige himself to give a comment to earn a coin whether the subject or the topic is good or bad.

I have experienced that. I have saved two blogs for they’re not yet ready to be submitted. When I go back in the next day, those blogs couldn’t be edited, couldn’t be opened. They’re “offline”. I thought they’re “disapproved”.

One member asked about on editing an existing blog. There I read the reply that it couldn’t be edited. It couldn’t be moved or deleted. Only the admin could touch, edit, or even delete it. But in the forum, any member could edit his work a minute he submits it. After several hours, it couldn’t be edited anymore, I think.

Experienced writers don’t bother on what to write even every day. They have a ready list of the common things the people do, the businesses products, the teachers improvement, and everything. Meaning those writers are prepared, organized.

In our case as we take writing job as a past time, as a hobby, we refer to the trending issue which has filled the Internet news in any subject or topic. If it doesn’t work, the routine task is to refer to the categories which LiteracyBase has provided us every time we compost our post and before submitting it we’re asked on what interest does it belong.

Make a ready-reference of it for what to write when unprepared.

May 17, 2016 at 10:17 am

You’re right! Let’s wait and see.
In my case, I have 4 pending posts, waiting for approval and two saved posts which couldn’t be opened or resubmitted. I recompose them and resubmit them. They are now a part of those 4 pending posts, waiting for approval.

Last night, I noticed @support was online, but probably he/she didn’t approve any pending posts. Thus, there is no one has been approved by their pending posts as of this writing. We do understand that is one of the methods to control the influx of posts for they’ve to be reviewed before they go “live”.

So, let’s wait and see for the admin is still busy. You bet.

It was my father too who initiated to expose me to the books of books. What I mean here is the library. I was a grade two elementary pupil at that time when he brought me to our municipal library. I never expected that I could see several books on the shelves, magazines spread on the track. The lady librarian was so accommodating, friendly and helpful. I found no reservation or difficulty in finding books suited to me. But all her recommendations, I found them unnecessary. I had my own preference. With my tender age of 9 and I have never ever exposed to books, I borrowed three volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica which was the common reference that anyone could find in the public library in my time.

You know what edition or topic I had chosen was about poetry and expository <span style=”background-color: #f5f6f5;”>writing</span>. That was the beginning of my interest in writing. I am so thankful for my late father who open my love for books in which until now I do nourish and nurture it. By the way, my humble father was only a grade two school goer. He stopped schooling for his family is poor.

In the Philippines, we celebrate Teachers’ Day on October 5 that coincides with the observation of World Teachers’ Day. It is now a law after our President Benigno Aquino signed it. During that day, we free our teachers from their daily teaching task. They are in school, but they do nothing except to be treated as a very important person. We give them a free manicure, pedicure, and hair styling. We offer them their favorite foods. We sing them their most requested song.

The pupils and their parents have prepared a simple but meaningful program to honor the teachers. They entertain the teachers to a song and dance. Some are reading a beautiful poem to their teachers as sincere gratefulness of their teachers’ efforts in making them learned.

The discussion seems to be interesting. I go over all your reactions and answers here for I am about to join with. But it has already been resolved after it has been clarified by @ruby3881. She pointed out that it is the function of the moderator/admin to “split” the issue or the discussion being taken up. It is good that everyone is so sensitive on what is going on here.
