Resolved Question: Does a Psychology Degree + General Secondary Teaching Degree = Secondary Psychology Teacher?

This might seem like a dumb question.. Sorry. I'm curious. o_O Okay, so I want to be a high school psychology teacher when I get out of high school. I am a Senior currently. I've been looking, and the colleges that offer the seconday (high school) psychology education major are entirely too expensive. I was wondering if I could get my psychology major, then get a general teaching degree, so I could put it all together and be a secondary psychology teacher? I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana, so if you could point out some colleges that offer the secondary psychology teaching major I could look into, that would be amazing. I just don't want anything that's more than one state over. Texas is fine, regarding colleges/universities. I'm very artsy. I love music; I'm learning guitar, write my own songs. I love art. I love creativity. I love studying the brain. I love reading. Not so much math. Detail-oriented. I want to make a difference in someone's life. I tend to care a lot about people who I don't even know. Quite picky. Any suggested majors for me? College stresses me out! >:O Oh, and what's the difference between a college and a university?? o_O more

N A man plays his guitar in a dusty diner, could be Mexico, Texas or anywhere in the Deep South of the dear old USA.

Resolved Question: 912 Tea Party March on Washington DC, on 9/12 2009?

A friend of mine and I aren't talking anymore since we don't view things the same. Well the way I see it he won't talk to me. I emailed him with a response to a nasty email .. 'would you still have negative things to say had Mccain gotten in office, because it seems no matter what everyone can't all be satisfied at the same time. Changes have to be made for other reasons we may not all know. I am sure every option in Washington is being considered. Obama is just human not a saint that will answer and satisfy every human being. And no matter who had won America was already in debt and on its way more whom ever gotten in office. Changes have to be made because what we've been doing hasn't worked in a long time. He sends me this: A friend of mine went to this and I really wanted to go but couldn't he wrote me about the experience... "What was it like?" Well, Susan and I got up at 4:00AM and drove to the Airport for a 7:25AM flight to DC. Imagine our surprise as we met six people on the shuttle from a satellite parking lot to the airport that were on the same flight as us and for the same reason. Even more astonishment as we met many others at the gate also going for the march. About 90% of the flight was going to the march and 30 more were on standby. Most of them could not get a seat. We arrived at DCA about 8:45AM and made our way to Metro which is the rapid transit system in Washington. We could barely get on the train!! By the second stop of 7 to the Federal Triangle station no more people could board and we were packed in to the rafters. The people of Georgia were the first in line as we registered more participants than any other state. We arrived at 9:20 AM and found our state flag only five minutes before the march began. Georgia had already been pushed 1 1/2 blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue from Freedom Plaza. (Start of March) Florida and Texas were close behind us and all 50 states were represented. As we made our way down Pennsylvania Avenue the dominant chant was "can you hear us now?" A direct question to government representatives. We entered the west central lawn of the Capital which rapidly filled. The north and south side lawns filled just as quickly. We were up close to the front and were being pushed against the fence as the overcrowding began. Capital Police closed the gates and started directing people to the mall area from the reflecting pool about 200 yards from the capital to the Washington Monument about 1 mile away. It took three hours for all participants to march down Pennsylvania Avenue and FILL the mall area. The crowd estimate from ABC News was announced at 1.5 million people!! We spoke with Capital Police who stated it was the largest crowd they had ever seen and estimated the crowd on the lawn(s), mall and sidewalks still attempting to enter the mall at 3 million. 450 buses lined Madison Avenue past the Washington Monument. Hundreds of thousands were already in Washington with tens of thousands more trying to drive in on gridlocked interstates (This was on Saturday!!). Tens of thousands more (including myself) had flown in from all over the country. The METRO system was completely overwhelmed and tens of thousands walked for miles just to get to Freedom Plaza and participate. After the singing of the National Anthem the roar was so loud I felt the reverberation through my body!!! After listening to many great speakers and being entertained with great songs, Susan and I left at 2:30 PM to make our way back through the sea of humanity. Security Guards were stationed at the top of the escalator descending to the loading platform in "All Metro Stations" to prevent injury of people coming down the escalator to an overcrowded loading platform. We arrived at the gate for boarding at 4:52PM for a 5:00PM departure. Remember it is only 7 stops from the Federal Triangle to Regan International. If folks staying in Washington and locals had not pushed us to the front of the line we would not have made our flight!!! (Thanks to all of them) I have many great photos of this event and will send some later. The message has been delivered to Washington that the majority of folks in this country are not just fighting a bad bill, "We Are Fighting Socialism". Later Nathan * Now how do you respond to this so called friend? I am really frustrated with him. more

Resolved Question: 20 fascinating facts about alcohol?

The word “toast,” which means wishing good health, originated in ancient Rome. A piece of toasted bread was literally dropped into wine back then. - The soil of one of the vineyards in France is considered so precious that it is mandatory for workers to scrape the soil off their shoes before they leave. - Anyone under the age of 21 should be careful of taking out trash bags in Missouri. If you are under 21 and the garbage contains an empty bottle of alcohol, you can be charged with illegal possession of alcohol. - The national anthem of United States, “The Star Spangled Banner,” was written to the tune of a drinking song. - Although “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is considered to be the shortest sentence that includes all the letters of the alphabet, alcohol lovers came up with one of their own “Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.” - Most vegetables and almost all fruits contain a small amount of alcohol in them. - The first Thanksgiving Day didn’t include mashed potatoes, turkey, and all other foods that we usually eat on this particular day. However, there was beer, brandy, gin, and wine. - Adolf Hitler was one of the world’s best known abstainers from alcohol. - Sir Winston Churchill was one of the world’s heaviest drinkers. - The world’s oldest known recipe is for beer. - United States has the highest minimum drinking age in the entire world. - In the 1600’s, thermometers used to be filled with brandy instead of mercury. - There is a cloud of alcohol in the outer space which is enough to make four trillion-trillion drinks. - It is illegal to feed alcohol to moose in Alaska and fish in Ohio. - Distilled spirits such as brandy, gin, rum, tequila, etc. contain no carbohydrates, no fat,s and no cholesterol of any kind. - A mixed drink that contains carbonated drink is absorbed into the body more quickly than straight shots. - Abraham Lincoln held a liquor license and operated several taverns. - All spirits (unlike beer and wine) are originally clear and colorless. The golden brown and other colors are achieved due to the aging process. - Here is another one we found that relates to Texas: Texas state law prohibits taking more than three sips of beer at a time while standing. - The BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) prohibits the use of word “refreshing” to describe any alcoholic beverage.

Resolved Question: was the song when the levee breaks by a perfecle circle had any meaning to it?

to me i consider the song sad.. because.. a flood began when heavy rains pounded the central basin of the Mississippi in the summer of 1926. By September, the Mississippi's tributaries in Kansas and Iowa were swollen to capacity. On New Year's Day of 1927, the Cumberland River at Nashville topped levees at 56.2 feet (17 m). The Mississippi River broke out of its levee system in 145 places and flooded 27,000 square miles (70,000 km2). The area was inundated up to a depth of 30 feet (10 m). The flood caused over $400 million in damages and killed 246 people in seven states. The flood affected Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Arkansas was hardest hit, with 14% of its territory covered by floodwaters. By May 1927, the Mississippi River below Memphis, Tennessee, reached a width of 60 miles (97 km)... do u guys conside the song by a perfect circle song was some wut touching? more

Resolved Question: Phuck it...yahoo answers VIII?

I won’t pretend to ignore the circumstantial evidence surrounding Michael Jackson. I have struggled with his actions for a very long time. Chris Rock said it best, “Another kid?” I must admit, that’s what I was thinking. Part of me tends to side with the rationalist. That he was a monster that preyed on small children. Part of me tends to side with the judicial system. That he was never convicted of any crime. As far as I know, Michael has never been charged with anything besides the two allegations that we know of. I know of attorney’s that have three DUI’s and still practicing law in the State of Texas. Go figure right? Right or wrong, Michael Jackson has contributed to our society. That I cannot deny. I cannot deny that 24 people acquitted him of any wrongdoing in two trials. And if you don’t have faith in that then the entire jurisprudence system of America should be questioned. "This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice." Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Jackson's Billie Jean was the first video by a black artist to air on MTV. Jackson received a Presidential Humanitarian Award from Ronald Reagan in 1984 for his support of charities helping people overcome alcohol and drug abuse. Thriller remains the biggest-selling album since records began. An extensive 1997 survey declared Jackson was the Most Famous Person in the World. Michael Jackson has contributed millions of dollars to charities. Yet, he is not without a darker side. Years of child abuse allegations will taint his legacy. Also, “In 2002, Jacko dangled his newborn son Prince from a four-story balcony in the Adlon Hotel in Berlin. One boy was interviewed as saying that Michael believed that if he had happy thoughts, fairies would give him the pixie dust needed to fly. Everyone knows that Jacko used to be black instead of white. He had many cosmetic operations to change his looks and skin color because he resented that he was starting to look like his father.” [RADDman, 06/2009] Michael Jackson deserves the unequivocal right to be mentioned amongst the great entertainer’s in the history of mankind. He has never been convicted of a crime. His wealth of music will live long past we are gone. I understand that some may think the worst of him. I can’t dismiss that his life has been surrounded with mystery and innuendo. However, his life as we know it is no more. What we are left with are the facts. The facts are he has never been convicted of any wrongdoing. The facts are he is the most famous person this world has ever seen. Martin Luther King broke down the legal barriers that minorities faced during that time. Michael Jackson broke down the social barriers that we all faced. Who didn’t wear a single glove back in the day? Michael Jackson literally made it acceptable to be seen in the company of a different race than you. Martin made it legally acceptable but Michael made it socially acceptable. His music crossed racial divides, state divides, country divides and continent divides.

Resolved Question: Phuck it...yahoo answers VII?

I won’t pretend to ignore the circumstantial evidence surrounding Michael Jackson. I have struggled with his actions for a very long time. Chris Rock said it best, “Another kid?” I must admit, that’s what I was thinking. Part of me tends to side with the rationalist. That he was a monster that preyed on small children. Part of me tends to side with the judicial system. That he was never convicted of any crime. As far as I know, Michael has never been charged with anything besides the two allegations that we know of. I know of attorney’s that have three DUI’s and still practicing law in the State of Texas. Go figure right? Right or wrong, Michael Jackson has contributed to our society. That I cannot deny. I cannot deny that 24 people acquitted him of any wrongdoing in two trials. And if you don’t have faith in that then the entire jurisprudence system of America should be questioned. "This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice." Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Jackson's Billie Jean was the first video by a black artist to air on MTV. Jackson received a Presidential Humanitarian Award from Ronald Reagan in 1984 for his support of charities helping people overcome alcohol and drug abuse. Thriller remains the biggest-selling album since records began. An extensive 1997 survey declared Jackson was the Most Famous Person in the World. Michael Jackson has contributed millions of dollars to charities. Yet, he is not without a darker side. Years of child abuse allegations will taint his legacy. Also, “In 2002, Jacko dangled his newborn son Prince from a four-story balcony in the Adlon Hotel in Berlin. One boy was interviewed as saying that Michael believed that if he had happy thoughts, fairies would give him the pixie dust needed to fly. Everyone knows that Jacko used to be black instead of white. He had many cosmetic operations to change his looks and skin color because he resented that he was starting to look like his father.” [RADDman, 06/2009] Michael Jackson deserves the unequivocal right to be mentioned amongst the great entertainer’s in the history of mankind. He has never been convicted of a crime. His wealth of music will live long past we are gone. I understand that some may think the worst of him. I can’t dismiss that his life has been surrounded with mystery and innuendo. However, his life as we know it is no more. What we are left with are the facts. The facts are he has never been convicted of any wrongdoing. The facts are he is the most famous person this world has ever seen. Martin Luther King broke down the legal barriers that minorities faced during that time. Michael Jackson broke down the social barriers that we all faced. Who didn’t wear a single glove back in the day? Michael Jackson literally made it acceptable to be seen in the company of a different race than you. Martin made it legally acceptable but Michael made it socially acceptable. His music crossed racial divides, state divides, country divides and continent divides.

They always twist your words and every other sentense is a manipulative one. How do they live here? I want to get out of here. Unfortunately my income is only 27,000 . But I dont' even care. I live in an apartment, and people here are so paranoid. They all think someone is coming to get them . Does paranoa come handy with stupidity? Everyone is a little jumpy and on the edge.

Resolved Question: What is this country song?

I don't remember any of the lyrics specifically. However, I remember the singer (a man) was singing about driving on highways and mentioning numerous southern cities/states in the US- Albuquerque, Georgia, somewhere in Texas. Also singing about his girl that isn't with him anymore I believe. When he mentions the city in Texas he says something like, "that's where we said we'd always go." Anyone know what this might be? Might be a shot in the dark because I have such limited info. Thanks.Not Hotel California. Sounded like a more recent song also.Thanks Erin! more

Resolved Question: To whom or what i am referring to?

A twentieth century myth has turned the legend into one Emily D. West, a housekeeper in a hotel in New Washington, Texas, during the Texas Revolution.[2] Legendary account Briefly stated, the song is based on a Texas legend from the days of the Texas War of Independence. According to the legend, a free African American woman named Emily D. West, a mulatto who was, seized by Mexican forces during the looting of Galveston, seduced General Antonio López de Santa Ana, President of Mexico and commander of the Mexican forces. The legend credits her supposed seduction with lowering the guard of the Mexican army and facilitating the Texan victory in the battle of San Jacinta waged in 1836 near present-day Houston. Santa Ana's opponent was General Sam Houston, who won the battle Historical account The basic facts[3] appear to be that Emily West migrated to Texas from New York City in late 1835. Sources describe her as a teen or as a woman of twenty. According to one version of the legend, she became an indentured servant on the plantation of James Morgan near what was then called New Washington and is now Morgan's Point. Because of her indenture to Morgan, some historians say, she became known by his surname, as was the custom for indentured servants as well as slaves. Santa Ana reportedly saw West in April 1836 when he invaded New Washington prior to the Battle of San Jacinto. Legend states that she was forcibly placed in his camp. Allegedly, Santa Ana was with her when Texan General Sam Houston's troops arrived, forcing him to flee without weapons or armor and enabling his capture the next day. more

Resolved Question: LGBT: Do you think homophobia is really worse in Texas?

LGBT: Do you think homophobia is really worse in Texas than in certain other states, such as California, Maine, Montana or South Carolina? I've been told that homophobia is worse in Texas than anywhere in the US... but I've also heard that people in Texas call ice cream "frozen cow juice". Well, I'm gay and live in Texas and I've never heard of frozen cow juice and I've also never had any real problems with homophobia. So I'm thinking that if homophobia really is more common here then it's simply because it's one of the most populated states. And back in the day, do you really think all those cow hands, herders and ranchers out on the lonely prairies and west Texas buttes and mesas were *really* just gambling, drinking, whittling, and engaging in extracurricular cattle rustling for fun and distraction whilst they remained true to their Darling Clementines? And in the meanwhile made up woeful songs of loves unrequited and heartache and all the while holding true to their lovely ladies left behind? I suspect just a few of those tears spilled in a plate of baked beans were not so much meant for the lady left back home as they were the homey in the next tent. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObhqbdnAdPc Thank you, Omega more

Resolved Question: What are some good Canadian songs about Americans?

Of any genre. Like here are some off the top of my head. 1) Diamond Joe White - High Rider (The John Ware Story) Lyrics: Left his home that Lonestar Texas land to take a chance on Alberta The wind sometimes blew cold but he knew somehow it would get better so like a fugitive at hand They called him John Ware and there never was a horse he couldn't take, No man whoever rode the range would ever call old John by Buddy's name, A prouder man never crossed over the border there weren't too many better on the plains, Texas grace brought change onto the prairie like a rainbow following the rain, To that high river country John worked from job to job you heard some things, He invested all his cash in cows and ____ so he'd have enough to stay, Settlers came began tearing up the prairie the cowboy couldn't understand the change, Peaceful man John moved a little further westward then settled on the border of the range (3x) And when he died oh the prairies hardly cried, seemed like he was gonna live forever, like the times in which he lived before him we'll never see again, Never will there be another like him. He was born eee high-rider born to make his mark upon the day, A black man from the South and a cowboy that would show his work some way; A prouder man never crossed over the border there weren't too many better on the plains, Texas grace brought change onto the prairie like a rainbow following the rain (3X), 2) Leonard Cohen - Democracy Is Coming - GREAT SONG Lyrics: It's coming through a hole in the air, from those nights in Tiananmen Square. It's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real, or it's real, but it ain't exactly there. From the wars against disorder, from the sirens night and day, from the fires of the homeless, from the ashes of the gay: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming through a crack in the wall; on a visionary flood of alcohol; from the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount which I don't pretend to understand at all. It's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay, from the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the sorrow in the street, the holy places where the races meet; from the homicidal bitchin' that goes down in every kitchen to determine who will serve and who will eat. From the wells of disappointment where the women kneel to pray for the grace of God in the desert here and the desert far away: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. It's coming to America first, the cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range and the machinery for change and it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken and it's here the lonely say that the heart has got to open in a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the women and the men. O baby, we'll be making love again. We'll be going down so deep the river's going to weep, and the mountain's going to shout Amen! It's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway, imperial, mysterious, in amorous array: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on ... I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.whoops the first 2 lines of the first song are: He was born eee high-rider born to make his mark upon the day, A black man from the South and a cowboy that would show his work some way;Edit: Blame Canada from South Park??? is absolutely retarded. It's shallow and thoughtless, it's obviously comedy though, to be taken with a grain of salt. It's a joke. A lot of Canadian tributes to America are intelligently thought out. Like the John Ware story about the African American and his legacy in Alberta. Or perhaps the impact of American settlers in Canada. I was reading about the Red River Rebellion and they discuss the role of the Americans in dealings with the Metis and the HBC and Canadians. Today American's have a stigma for being materialistic, but when it comes to American individuals, Canadians don't just diss and shun them, they embrace some of the American attributes within moderation to the extent the enhance the Canadian culture. more
