The German people for the protestation yesterday asking the return of the German soldiers in Afghanistan.

We Want Peace by Lenny Kravitz
Here it is once again in our face
Why haven’t we learned from our past
We’re at the crossroads of the human race
Why are we kicking our own ass
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast
We’re on the eve of destruction my friends
We are about to go too far
Politicians think that war is the way
But we know that love has the power
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast
The solution is simple and plain
There won’t be peace if we don’t try
In a war there is nothing to gain
And so many people will die
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast
We want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace, we want it
Yes we want peace
And we want it fast

WTF
Cell phones not politics - get a life!

this is off-topic
I do write about phone in the right section

The What-if game!

Okay I just thought up a little game that can get amusing or funny depending on what the person in the next post says. All you have to do is answer the question above then ask your own "What-if" question. Just make your question in bold so everyone can see it quickly. Your reply to the question above you can be answered any way you'd like, if you seriously cant answer it(or the question is just plain stupid) then just say pass and post the question you wanted to ask.
MODS REMOVE ASAP IF: You don't approve, things get a little much, or this just turns into a cesspool of flames.
What if, the iPhone never came to the party?
What if, John F. Kennedy was never shot?
What if, Men never had nipples?

Advice for a Apple Hiring Event please ?

Hello,
I've been invited in an Apple Hiring Event for next monday.
They said: " Feel free to dress business casual "
Does it mean that Business Casual is recommended or ... ?
I was thinking about wearing: Blue Jeans, Black V Neck T Shirt and Black Shoes.
That should be fine ?
Do you have any advices ?
Thanks
Wear business casual... Nice fitting slacks with a pressed, ironed long sleeve button down tucked in. Dress shoes too. Shave your face, get a haircut, come prepared. Bring two pens, a few copies of your resume and cover letter, and have several questions prepared for them. The guys who get jobs will be wearing that and doing those things. Good luck man.
Sent from my LG G2x
Awesome ! Thank you so much =) !
Other advices ?
Bring your android device?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Off course I will =)
I think you should wear new balance sneakers, jeans, and a black turtle neck, also glasses, and shave your hair. You don't have to shave your face.
You want me to look like S Jobs, don't you ?

Yeah. Have a bloodtype compatible with Steve Jobs, and don't drink before the interview. They might want to check your liver's status.
use a lot of words like "demand" and "now" when they ask you about what you would like to make hourly. also, try to look drunk, even if you aren't. employers love somebody who can also have fun in the work place.
and try to fabricate everything you say and over-exaggerate your success thus far in life. make them need you. if none of that works, for pitty, have a story prepared for them about how your mother has cancer and can't pay her medical bills. don't forget to look like you are fabricating this story as well, employers love creativity and a "do whatever it takes" attitude to get what they want.
also, they will appreciate a technical mind, so make sure that you talk about the ins and outs of your android device. and show them you can sell a customer by convincing them that android phones are way ahead of the curve and anything else is archaic and bland. try to show passion on this subject as well, maybe even a little bit of hostility and threatening tone in your voice, they need to know you can hold your own in a tough work environment.
go get 'em champ, you'll do great.

All great advice, but if you really want to stand out from the crowd and make an impact then I strongly recommend nudity. I guarantee they'll remember you. You'll be the guy they talk about round the water cooler.

Well done man - you obviously made a good impression, so you've got the hardest part over and done with.
Others will probably disagree, but whenever I'm asked for a formal interview I go in a suit. I'd at least wear smart trousers with a shirt and tie.
Thanks for replying !
I've been reading lot of things and they said that a suit may be .. Overdressed ?
Thanks
Hello ! I went at the 2nd Interview and I talk to a man for about 45minutes.
He said that they are going to email me later for a background check.
Am I close ?

Firefighter Poll

Hey guys, I'm doing an assignment for class and need a poll done on the following question. Just let me know who you would save, if you want to list why go ahead.
While working as a firefighter you and another firefighter go into a burning building to rescue a baby, you get seperated from your fellow firefighter and come*across a baby. Your fellow firefighter ends up running out of air and you now can only help the baby or your fellow firefighter. Who do you help and why?
Thanks for helping.

Hello, old thread but I want to answer. I'm workin as a volunteer firefighter. I'd say that this is very difficult moral question, that has been on my mind too
I'd go to help my fellow firefighter, because I think that in principle it is bad to lose rescuers - so in the end, who will then be rescuing people if rescuers die in their duty? That's why I'd rescue my fellow firefighter.
I'd rescue my colleague. In a heartbeat.
As innocent as a baby is, your fellow firefighter is relying you you just as much as you on him/her. You have a duty to watch each other's backs. That's the reason you can keep doing the job, because you keep each other alive. In these cases it's a matter of who is the most valuable. And whether society's moral compass likes it or not, that's the man or woman whose life revolves around saving other people's lives.
I'd save the baby. The reason behind the entrance is to save lives. You know the risks of the job when you start.

dont feel bad, no one has a good grasp on this haha! if so they would be close to possibly figuring out a unified theory of everything...

which would unlock many new dangerous technologies most likely. we are on the verge of destroying the earth, so we dont need to be trying to manipulate the observable universe or multiverse yet haha! did u know there are unanswered questions that if figured out have a reward of $1,000,000? here are some math ones...

there are many ways but here is an unusual, less known way that science is proving. check out the section in this video from 20:00-25:00...
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uFr806M1pQg
the earth can protect itself from our stupidity, but it would not be pretty for us.
already islands are disappearing and no one has the heart to tell islanders the truth about why. they just say its natural. youtube "disappearing islands" if proof is needed.
also new studies are saying the "great pacific garbage patch" in the ocean is nearing the size of the usa, so if the above mentioned video is true, we may not be far off from another mass extinction caused by earths strange "recycling" methods yikes.
we get what we give.:thumbup:
pretty awesome video. thank you for sharing.!

google takes privacy seriously? what a joke! they are one of the worst!
i will try to post more things to this thread tonight or tomorrow. helping a lot of people in private messages and help threads last couple days
more to come tomorrow, but heres a little something to hold everyone over. its an oldie but goodie...
the cia declassified a weapon in 1975 that was a battery powered gun that shot a dart shaped bullet made out of ice and a deadly toxic shellfish poison. it could penetrate through clothes and enter a victims skin without them even knowing or hardly feeling it. this would leave only a very very tiny red dot like from a syringe needle and the ice would melt inside their body releasing the shellfish toxin and causing a deadly heart attack. the toxin was shortlived and would be untraceable at the time of the autopsy so no questions would be raised about the cause of death other than a heart attack was the cause. this and many many other strange weapons were developed and many believe they are still being used to this day. plenty of proof including video testimony from the cia online if u doubt this. imagine how complex things are now 40 years later. so keep ur mind open. more weirdness coming soon.
also, a classic surveillance movie to check out if u like older movies is "the conversation". francis ford coppolla made it after the godfather 2 i think. not as crazy as things discussed here but a good watch nonetheless. if u can find it and watch it, post the defining phrase from it here in this thread or pm it to me and i will get a good laugh (not because its funny but because i like the movie and will be happy that u understood it!)

Any Gay here who still can't accept himself?

I'm gay and I'm always wondering if there is somebody like me who still can't accept themselves as a gay men. I believed I'm already Gay since I was a kid like 4, because I've had a feeling towards men in that age already. Like having a crush with them. I clearly remember that. And the usual kids were making a jokes of marrying a woman, but not me, I want to marry a boy instead. Lol.
In my case, you won't notice I'm Gay. I dressed like a real guy, I moved and speak like a real man. My family don't even know I'm gay. I lived in a Muslim country and in a muslim community. In short I am a Muslim(please no bad comments just because I am a Muslim). It's quite difficult for me to reveal my real identity because of my surroundings. Though I fallen in love already with my best friend, I still managed myself not to pursue what I wanted. There were also so many gays who entertained me, but because I am not serious about it, I always ignored them. I really wanted to be a real man. I always pray that one morning I woke up and becomes straight already. But this is me. This is inborn. Nothings happen really!
I've always dreaming of marrying a woman, having kids and a normal family. But I am very afraid that I might just hurt my wife because I can't really love a woman truly.
Anyone here like me too? Well I guess......... I don't know. Lol
Just cause you like dudes doesn't mean you're not a "real man", bro
I hope you can find some support here or irl, it must be quite difficult for you in the situation you're in but you have my acceptance even if you can't accept yourself (Y)
Thank you so much! Your comment are really appreciated. :angel: God bless you and your family.
I'm not gay but my entire family is.

God blessed you mate and to your family too. You must be very careful to your sorroundings and in social media too. I am in Malaysia and even the majority of people here are Muslims, Gays are everywhere and it is spreading rapidly. It's worldwide. Take care mate and I belived it's hard to convert back to straight.
Having a preference for the same gender is always a choice of *will* more so than any other factor realistically speaking. Be that as it may, those choices reside betwixt you and God alone. That being stated, coming from a Muslim related country, you are indeed wise to tread carefully. Even in Malaysia.
God's wisdom be with you always.
