Cell Phone Fact
Here is something you could do with your cell phone that you might have never known.
If you ever locked your keys in the car and your car have remote keyless entry. This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Pretty neat huh? Well that’s all.

The Gravity of Being Green
Aloha Folks!
No, my title doesn’t have anything to do with space or green aliens, I’m talking about the environment. This may be something you have all heard before, but this is important and something we should all be thinking about – especially during current circumstances.
So, you’re probably not asking yourself what you can do to help. Well guess what? I’m going to tell you anyway! There a few obvious ones that you have most likely heard before…but please think about what is here and if you can apply it to your home or work/school. So without further ado, here is ‘Anonymous’ List of Green Things You Can Do to Help’:
1. Install energy saving light bulbs (Hint: They are the swirly cool ones!)
2. Make sure all your appliances are running properly as if they are damaged they use more energy.
3. Buy energy saving appliances in the first place and if possible replace old dodgy stuff with new, four star ones.
4. Turn electrical equipment off when it’s not being used and try not to leave ‘stand by’ modes on because you’re better off just turning it off.
5. Plant as many plants, shrubs and trees as you can and try to resist pulling out that grass when you are sitting around on the ground outside – because it is true, every bit counts.

6. Always do full loads of washing. Don’t do lots of small loads because they still use the same amount of water as a large load.
7. Try not to use a clothes dryer if you can. A clothesline is just as good and your clothes will dry nicely in the sun and not smell of dryerness…ew.
8. Walk, ride your bike or horse or run places as much as possible rather than taking a car. If these aren’t an option, try taking public transport. This will save you money on fuel and possibly give you and your dog some exercise! (By the way, that’s not me… :mrgeen:)

9. Use the right settings for washing machines, irons etc. to maximize efficiency and reduce use.
10. Have fun while saving energy! Remember that you don’t have to be madly stict with these guidelines, and that’s just what they are. You can think of more things you can do, I’m sure – so try them out.
Or environment is a very important and instable thing. One little car can make a huge impact, therefore so can you, for example, installing an energy saving light bulb. Everything you do counts, no matter how small. So please encourage others to help out. Tell your workplace, school, community group. Tell your teachers and friends, the more you help the better off we all are. J
If you would like some more information, this is a great website to use! It can help you calculate how much energy you use and can help you reduce it. I strongly recommend taking a look. And remember, *Quote* It’s not like we can go shopping somewhere else *Quote*.
♥♥ Anonymous xx.

Who’s The President?
It defiantly ISN’T George w Bush. We think it is a alien from mars. Or maybe Dick Cheney. BUT it isn’t George. Welcome alien president. We all hate you! Even though the alien is a bad president we think he should be given a gift. A bomb.

Why?
I’ve experienced a sort of bullying in my life, and I was ten years old at the time. Me and my sister were at the park, and some older kids were on some swings, and they started yelling at us saying, “Don’t look at us, if you do, we’ll punch your face in!” I was scared, really scared. But my sister looked straight at the kid who had said that and just stared at her. The girl got off the swing, and walked towards us. I remember her bright red hair, and I remember the other kids looking at her, wondering what she was going to do. She stopped in front of us, and then she looked at me. I knew she saw that I was scared, but I just wanted to go home. I was holding my sister’s hand tightly, and wouldn’t let go. But my sister just stared straight at her, no fear showing in her eyes. Finally, the girl backed away, muttering something under her breath. I don’t know what she said, and I didn’t care. Finally, me and my sister went home. As a ten year old, I was scared spitless when someone tried to bully us. But my sister didn’t even flinch. She wouldn’t back down. Let me ask you, what do you think would have been better? To do what they say, and just ignore them, or not back down, and show them you aren’t afraid?
Thanks for reading, guys.

Animals aren’t our slaves
Yo everyone! This is a Cliché of Josh’s deepy posts…
First of All, I want to say that the point of this Post is not to say that “we don’t have to eat animals”, this texts points more to the cruelty to animals. The other day while I was surfing through Internet, I found out some videos in which they burned a cat, and on other one two guys throwing a cat through a window. It was like sooo cruel and pathetic to see what humans can do just to have fun. Here is an extract from a book called “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. Here in England is a classic. In this extract a pig is talking (Lol)
“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is the lord of all the animals. He sets them to workhe gives back to them a misrable portion of food and the rest he keeps it for himself. And even the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span, when our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty.
Never listen when they tell you that Man and the Animals have common interest, all men are enemies.”
So think again, are Animals our slaves? Could they live without us? I think it is more likely that we are their slaves… I mean, without them, we would not survive.
So think again the next time you think you are superior than animals!!

»Adam«
Josh’s Response:
That’s a pity. Your post may have made absolutely no sense to me, but you were one of the few real contenders, I think.
Happy early birthday, Josh. Wish I could give you a present but you are uh… how many miles away??
Compleanos Feliz, me amigo!
So we have somebody with the amazing talent to immitate a cartoon show.
Somebody who is a new admin? lol
Somebody who is giving a tip to people who lock their cell phones in their car. By the way, I don’t know if a group of people with the age range of 8- 16 will own too many cars.
A person who thinks their post would have been so much more interesting if their name instead of “person” was at the end.
Somebody who doesn’t know they date, is in a warm place and likes pie?
Somebody who is talking to me like I go out melting polar ice caps all day.
Now, this guy thinks the President is an alien. Enough said.
A pretty thoughtful post with a personnal story that people will be able to relate too. I liked it.
Somebody who wants me to vote for them because they made a post about asking me to vote for them…?
Somebody who is telling me to stop treating animals as my slave.
This person has convinced me to bring a small group of sheep, cows and goats to my house for a party next week.
A small poem about somebodys computer. Really?
No, I do not know who I am voting for. But well done to those entries.
And I am a bit angry because I am up very late again.
In the morning I will vote, because I am in a mean mood at the moment.
Josh’s Response:
Lol! I cracked up laughing when I read your statement about the Going Green post, lol. Don’t you melt polar ice caps all day?
I voted “Entry post”.
Holy Crapersz.
If i win, please just say my name, but dont tell them which post was mine. B-cuz after what Olly said, im kindaa…embarassed?
w/e
the Blinkstuher
I don’t know which post was yours Blinky, but if it looked like I was making fun of it, I’m sorry.
I wasn’t for any of them.
Ok olly, If you wasn’t for any of them then why put “A pretty thoughtful post with a personal story that people will be able to relate too. I liked it.” Just wanted to point that out. too bad that wasn’t mine. well i must say we ALL must know wrote the first post up there.(if you don’t know check the chat page) Thats all i gottsa say.
~The Opusnator!~
its okay olly
im so excited!
I’m in a bad mood too today. Mostly cause i am bored and i hate boredom. And my brothers being extra annoying today.
The comment on lightbulbs has 497 words. lol
“Now, this guy thinks the President is an alien” i agree with that person because he truly is. Ask any American. Because i human can’t be that stupid to be president. Also i wish that was my post
I mistyped there “Because i human” fix to “because a human”.
Lol…those posts were amusing, inspiring and downright weird all at once…they mad my day! And so did Olly’s little discription of them all – highly amusing Olly.
Good luck to everyone, they were all fantastic! Lol…the American President is an alien? Well….that’s somthing. Maybe John Howard was an alien too then, and that’s why they got along so well…hmm
~Squishy133~
P.S. I can’t wait to find out who wins, these were great!
Oh yeah. the u.s. president is the bigest idiot i’ve ever seen. if you watch his press deals where he answers questions you’ll see thatwhen he is asked the really difficult or questions that will make him look bad he doesnt answer the question he just makes up his own question and answers that.
I am so excited for the upcoming election…he will FINALLY be out of office!
is my sister allowed to vote? are you checking the votes by IP adress cuz we have the same i think…im not cheating i swear she helps me with my site but she never comments her CP name is lulu4343
…yeah
Josh’s Response”
As long as you do not vote.
i haven’t voted yet
I have yet to vote, but I would like to say, that I don’t think it is quite kosher to have multiple votes from the same IP addresse, especially if it is a contestant. I am not calling any one dishonest, but there is no way to check the validity of it not being the same person.
Josh’s Response:
I know that, but I want to see if the people can be trusted. If they get no votes, they can definitely be trusted. If they get 100 votes, they cannot be trusted
was that really once post?
Josh’s Response:
What???
one*
I’m sorry, I just had to bring attention to this one bit from the environmental post.
On number 8 it says “Walk, ride your bike or horse”.
If somebody here has a horse they use to get to school or work or whatever, please tell me.
Lol. Over 2,200 words, wow…lol.
Yeah, I guess that the trusworthy votes thing is a smart judgment of who is trustworthy (Did that make any sense?)
And on the environmental post – Lol…but what if they lived in the country? I’m sure there is someone in Australia that rode a horse to school at some point in the last year?
~Squishy133~
josh yes we do all go to same schol
u really cool
hey josh was mine ok?
Ok so we have
someone with weird talents…
someone who thinks they already are an admin…
someone knowing a weird cell phone fact…
someone who obviously ran out of ideas…
someone who likes pie living in a hot place…
someone reciting environmental facts…
someone who thinks the president is a alien…
someone who got bullied once…
someone starting a campaign…
someone who has convinced me to slaughted 10 pigs at christmas…
someone who has wrote a poem about their computer…
Wow. That was interesting to read!
Were we asked to vote or critique? I thought we were asked to vote.
Wow Nick, your comment was so creative when you went through each post and gave your thoughts about them.
Wow Nick, wannabe much? :rolleyes:
Whoops werent reading comments…
Nick, lol. Interesting responses, I like reading the critical ones, I like the honesty. Some of the entries are very interesting, and some made me laugh-a good laugh.
Awesome, I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t think it was to hot to critique. Some people were offended.
Yes zipo. You made that point already.
I don’t think my comment was…critique atall. And whoever was offended by it should know that my comment was definetly NOT listing their faults.
Besides, I should be able to share my opinions about the post.
I don’t see anything that says I can’t.
Yes Olly, I was making a point, but I was not pointing at you. There were many others who critiqued the entries. I am glad you assumed that no one was offended by any of the people’s comments. I assumed some where. I was sharing my opinion as well. And here too, I don’t see anything that says I can’t. Have a great day!!
I do see some comments that could definetly be offensive.
Anyway, I have had a great day, thank you!
I am afraid I hadn’t even read Nick’s comment when I said that, Zipo. I really resonded too quickly-should have read everything first. Nick…how about using words kindly and a little more nicer? Being blunt is ok at times, but you need to do it in a much different way.
And sometimes it is better not to say anything at all.
I don’t even think it is necessary to call someone out (calling them by name) on the carpet for making a bad judgement in etiquette . A general “blanket” comment is sometimes better. I think everyone gets the idea by now.
