    There are many ‘public domain’ images.  Many are created and used all over the net.  Some are like Gettyimages which the name comes on the bottom for attribution.  I wouldn’t take what looks like a ‘private image’ … btw… did you see the porn pictures?  When I was looking through the already uploaded images I saw Porn.

    • With respect, the only thing I see that the leaders of Syria and North Korea have in common is that they are both carrying on by walking in their fathers’ footsteps. Huge shoes to fill; and sadly those “shoes” were walking in the wrong direction. (O.o)

      Many people may think of the head of North Korea has nothing more than a “spoiled guinea brat”. I don’t. But I also don’t think it’s wise to provoke him. If he is willing to kill family, why should he restrain himself from others who threaten or provoke him? Nevertheless, I don’t think he’s willing for his small part of the world to blown off the face of the earth!!! However … __________. What can I say? Prophecies and predictions are nothing more than “best guesses” these days.

      As for that guy in Syria? Lord knows! Heaven help us all!

    If I don’t put in an image, I won’t be published.  Sometimes, do to the glitchy nature I can’t dl an image.  Having written an item I have to find an image.  Some older images work… some… I have to… borrow

    Hubpages has become a waste of keystrokes, Niume plays with hits, so that you can’t be sure how many people viewed your work, so they can lie about how much you earn.

    As to Blogjob, if there are any ads on the pages, well, the money goes into the owners pocket.

    I just took a bag of clothes which I can no longer wear due to age and put them into the trash.   When I was a little kid, we used to put them into a box and give them to a charity.

    • This is a very interesting piece, considering that we live in a society where we have the rich, the poor and the middle class. Am just shocked at the statement you made that your friend have out some used clothes and people said they could not wear them? Anyway i can’t be shocked enough because I know there are people like that in this world. Let me just say this it doesn’t mean that if you can’t wear them you should make such bad comments. There are people who hope that someone would send them clothing however small but it would be sheer luck if they got clothes that have been worn once. Anyway one thing i know is that second hand clothing is used by just about everyone and to say the truth they are usually far much better and of good quality than some of the clothes that are even sold as new. It’s very unfortunate the way society views and takes things for granted. I am one of those people who take the opportunity to bless children’s homes, the less fortunate with the stuff or clothing that i don’t use, and never have I felt embarrassed about it. People may say all sorts of things but I know I have saved a child from walking naked. It doesn’t matter whether the clothes have been worn before or not the issue is you have no clothes and Someone has seen it right to bless You, why not appreciate the gesture it costs you nothing after all. The society needs to change and realize that people are different.

    In Jamaica, while a case is going on, one is not to discuss the aspects of it.  Although in high profile cases the news will report who took the stand or when an adjournment is granted, the legal bits are not to be discussed.

    Once a case is decided, the entire judgment can be published.

    If you had left America and went to somewhere there is no television and spent ten years there, you would find all the new programs very strange.

    • It is probable that only those familiar with dramas of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and early 80s would notice the change from the one/two star to the ensemble.

      For example, if the actor playing Dr. Kildare was unwell or unavailable there was a problem. Now the actor playing Dr. Preston can leave the show and no one much notices his absence.
