    kaylar wrote a new post, Watching From Outside the United States 7 years, 8 months ago

    Many of us here do not live in America.  We watch events with various impressions of dread and mirth.

    Speaking for myself, I thought Trump was a clown.  We have comedians here, such as IT & Fancy Cat who do t […]

    • You’re watching from the outside. I’m observing from the inside and I’m happy to say I’m kind of glad Trump is POTUS. If Americans ever wanted to know if democracy is a form of government that can really work regardless of the people diversity, we’re going to find out!

      All that stuff they taught US in school? Those tests in school were just to see if we learned.

      The Trump presidency is the “real test” to see if we actually understand democratic principles and know how to make practical application to a real country!! Our country!!

      I’m loving this Trump administration. Watch the Americans rise! Yeah! 🙂

      To respond to Jon Stewart’s question” “What kind of country are we going to be … moving forward …?” We’ll see. 🙂 😀

      (NOTE: Really appreciate your LB posts. They’re inspiring. I’m not making sport of you. I’m very serious. You provoke my patriotic fervor and my sense of duty and you remind me to be proud to be an American.)

      • I understand you completely. You fully believe that the people, that the institutions in place, that the laws will protect you.

        I am telling you that Jamaicans have been rounded up and deported; many who have valid Visas. That Many Africans have been deported for the same reason. No one protests, no one knows. In some places they are stopping cars driven by Blacks to check papers.

        What is scary is that 200 people have been murdered by police and no one protest.

        I know there are people who are fighting for what are called American Values. I know some folks in California who are going for a Calexit.

        I have spoken to a chap who is a Jamaican/American and spent many years in the U.S. as well as here who also sees a positive spin; that Trump will inspire people to object to what he puts forward. He sees Trump as a test; and he believes that the backward/racist anti beliefs of Trump will be defeated.

        I’m not so positive.

    I think it may sound selfish but it is not. I think that question gets asked when we have positive intention towards the world. But the world we live in doesn’t actually work in karma. Instead it works on what we do and the random action of others. So we being good does not mean that good things are going to happen to us. Instead things be it good…[Read more]

    Manga is Japanese name for  comics. Most of the Japanese manga are in black and white color. And usually they don’t have the color pages. Only the first page of the manga are going to be colored. So that’s why it is a bit different than our regular comics. Anime is just adaption of manga in japan. If you are interested I can name some of the…[Read more]

    I can’t match any calculation for reaching 100$. I mean making so many comments and creating threads is just beyond me. I wonder how many of us can make such comments and posts. Most of us are going to have to work really hard. The reason being there is the thing with the word count. Writing 300 words article is easy but can’t write too many to…[Read more]

    If every article is 15c, (the lowest rate) then each day one writes 7 items for $1.05.   Ten days is $10.50 and 30 days would be $31.50.

    If one writes longer articles, for 22c, then one writes 5 articles for $1.10 and in 10 days one has $11.00 and $33.00 in 30.

    I don’t know how anyone can write more than 7 items a day of any quality.

    • That was really saddening! Some sites have so long Terms of Service,and in very small fonts, too much legalese words or sentences that one ma find it so tiring to read or will consume a lot of time. Your post will serve as a warning for us, writers, to be very cautious about it. (reminds me I have to read the TOU’s of Literacybase!)

      I found that site but did not join. It’s good I didn’t sign up!

      • I almost always read and reread the TOS. If I didn’t before that day, I did after. Could you imagine writing a story so good it’s on TV and you don’t even get a mention?

    I only prefer two flavors for my taste. One being chocolate and another being mango. I think mango is one of the good flavors out there. If it is mixed with some other nuts and flavors, then that can be good too. Though there are some other flavors like pista, cashew and all. I think mango and chocolate still remained my favorites so far. As they…[Read more]
