If there were a school massacre each week, how many weeks till it would be only a brief mention in the news? I swear, I couldn't bear another week of this drama. The media just orchestrates the story, as if it's a play. They include piano, strings and the ever present bell.
If society gets really violent in the future, as it may, will the news be able to milk each incident with full effect, or will we skip over them, in order to be the concerned voyeurs they (newscasters) appear to be? | | You are right that it all depends how it attracts viewers. Notice how quick the media switched to the Houston NASA shootout, because viewers were getting tired of watching VT. It's not a matter of magnitude (a lot more were killed at Darfur), but how shocking and "new" the news. | How would you feel if school teachers were watching your guy sleep? And then discussed it with other adults at school and compared it to a soap opera?
"The system that Lower Merion school officials used to track lost and stolen laptops wound up secretly capturing thousands of images, including photographs of students in their homes, Web sites they visited, and excerpts of their online chats, says a new motion filed in a suit against the district.
More than once, the motion asserts, the camera on Robbins' school-issued laptop took photos of Robbins as he slept in his bed. Each time, it fired the images off to network servers at the school district.
Back at district offices, the Robbins motion says, employees with access to the images marveled at the tracking software. It was like a window into "a little LMSD soap opera," a staffer is quoted as saying in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the administrator running the program.
"I know, I love it," she is quoted as having replied.
Those details, disclosed in the motion filed late Thursday in federal court by Robbins' attorney, offer a wider glimpse into the now-disabled program that spawned Robbins' lawsuit and has shined an international spotlight on the district.
In the filing, the Penn Valley family claims the district's records show that the controversial tracking system captured more than 400 photos and screen images from 15-year-old Blake Robbins' school-issued laptop during two weeks last fall, and that "thousands of webcam pictures and screen shots have been taken of numerous other students in their homes."
Robbins, a sophomore at Harriton High School, and his parents, Michael and Holly Robbins, contend e-mails turned over to them by the district suggest Cafiero "may be a voyeur" who might have viewed some of the photos on her home computer."
www.philly.com/philly/news/201004… | Look- I don't care if my guy is sitting on her bed reading. She has a right to know who is in her bedroom watching her do it. It's creepy.
She sits in her room in a long tee and underwear, under the impression that she is safe in her home with her family. She can be in her room doing homework, reading, making outfits for her mannequin.. whatever she wants but she would be humiliated and devastated if she were *spied on* doing those things. I'm not even joking when I say something like that would CRUSH her and turn her into a paranoid person.
That school made A BAD choice. So many terrible choices. I wonder how many guys have to get counseling over this. | 100 Books Every High School Student Should Read? Do you agree with the list? How many books on this list have you read (High school or not)? Are there any books you'd add to this list? I didn't read any of these in high school, read some of them in college, and some I've read on my own. Some are on my to-read list. Atonement is my favorite book of all time. This list comes from the Accredited Online Colleges website.

Good books for High school students. | Racy pictures in college garb on internet? If a college student posted illicit pictures of themself (on a free voyeur website) with the school name or mascot could the college take any action against the student? such as sue them or kick them out? | | I has happened several times to girls who posed for the college issue of Playboy.The girls were asked to leave the college after the magazine hit stands.Some schools don't have a problem with it but I would check the college website for any rules against it. | Why do we blush when we see naked white members of the opposite sex, but don't at naked indigenous peoples? In Anthropology class we watched several videos of indigenous Africans completely naked with women's breasts completely exposed and men's penis' uncovered. Nobody would bat an eye, and when the video was over we would have a profound, intellectual discussion about their culture. I'm trying to grow as a human being. I want to know why I feel this way. / Apparently our branch of humanity (Cro-Magnon, I believe) originated in Africa and migrated around the world. Apparently a gene test can confirm Africa was our first home. So, what is it about naked white human beings that elicits embarrassment in me, and naked African natives not? I'll give my view. I'm going to be candid. When I would watch those National Geographic videos, I didn't find myself the least bit attracted to any of the women. They were matronly, not lovely. If they'd been hot, I would have felt the heat rush to my face and felt embarrassed I was being a voyeur. They weren't, so it was school. / He who asks no questions... | Maybe this is my age speaking, or maybe it's just my education? But I don't blush at anyone naked anymore, man or woman, white, black or brown. Now thinking about seeing any "traditional cultures" either by video or in real life as I have many times, there is definitely a cultural seperation that inhibits seeing these other cultures as sexual objects, but I can also say from my own personal experiences in africa that women who live "traditionally" tend to have guyren quickly after reaching puberty such that the time frame for them looking "sexy" is quite short lived mostly for lack of using bras and the hard labour intensive lifestyle that many of these woman maintain, especially after giving birth. That also acts as an impedence on triggering a sexual embarasment as well. Now personally, I'm very attracted to black women, so if I were to blush a naked black women should be better at getting me there then a naked white women if sexual preference were the prime criteria. The problem with the video or real life, however, is that it is not just the colour of their skin. The cultural differences actually play a much more significant part in telling your mind that this is not an appropriate mate and henceforth not to feel inclined to blush. It is also important to note that embarasment is not just a one sided affair. The women in the video that you watched are used to displaying their breasts within their culture. Typically in these cultures it is the thighs that are innappropriate to display, not their breasts. As of such their body language is not one that makes you feel like you are seeing something forbidden as it is in most white cultures and this suppresses any tendancy to blush. For the sake of argument it could be asked that if there were a women of the appropriate age such that she still looked sexy to you, but instead of seeing just her breasts you accidently walked in on her when she was changing into her traditional skirt and you saw the side of her leg from her hip to her knee. She, however, would now feel as though you had seen her innapropriately and would send you body language that would convey her embarrasment. Reading these new inputs you may suddenly find yourself blushing! You might even find yourself blushing even if she were not beautiful simply because the body language would convey the message that you have crossed a line and that may be enough to bring on the red. Alternatively, go to a beach on the French Mediterranean where the culture there finds it quite acceptable for women of all ages to walk around topless. You may suddenly find yourself feeding off of their confidence and enjoying the view without blushing despite immense amounts of attraction. Their acceptance of the situation might quickly make you realise that you are not partaking in anything "special" or "forbidden" with these lovely white women, hence no need to blush. If your mom decided to partake in the freedom of the French Mediterranean, however, you might suddenly feel inclined to blush again!
To summarize, it is culture and body language which produce the embarrasment that brings on blushing, not the colour of ones skin, nor necessarily how attractive you see them. | How to get over Voyeurism? I am a voyeur for quite a sometime now... started this since I was in school. Now, I am trying to get over it. Please, can anyone really suggest me how to get over it.
I know who a voyeur is, and why he do what he does. I am now wasting a lot of time, and also realizing that it's waste of time, and also make me feel guilty and week - as if I have no confidence in myself - it makes me feel very meek.
Please suggest me something to get off this habit.
Thanks | | Let her husband catch you!! You'll get the therapy it takes to get over it! | Are some people born to live a wild, sexy lifestyle? I was just answering this 14yr old girls question about her sexuality and I am thinking to myself just how sexual, dirty mind I have had ever since day 1. When I was 4 yrs old I went to Hawaii, one of my fondest memories are the hula girls that wear coconut bras and straw dresses. When I was a young guy I used to make sexual guyren's toys and play with them, I made a pipe cleaner doll out of white pipecleaners called "naked girl" that used her boobs in a similar way to Spider-Man where she swung across the trees by throwing her boobs over the branches she swung on and could put ENORMOUS items into her vagina just as a person might put a piano in their pocket in a Mickie Mouse Cartoon. I fantasized continually about getting naked with the girls knew, being able to act out my sexual desires with no complaints or awkwardness all throughout Elementary School. The entire world being a voyeur haven. I got into porn when I was 10 pretty much tried everything, and I do mean everything! I fell in love with my girlfriend of today partly because she was open minded to me spanking other girls on the bum. She grew up in a family that widely kept an open mind toward sex, and frequently talks about trying on sexy costumes and the like. Her mom even taught her a few basic sexual techniques and has had her take naked pictures of her for he boyfriends. Today she has me and ANOTHER boyfriend whom she loves to give foot jobs to and I can pick up as many as 10-20 girls a day. Right now, I am in a relationship with this girl that is considering becoming a swinger with her boyfriend (as am I, and have already kinda done, with her) I have done incest with various family members and exchanged quasi-sexual comments and gestures with two of my female teachers over the years. Are some people just born to live a wild, sexy, kinky lifestyle, or am I just a LITTLE too much of a whore lol If you have similar stories to tell, plz do share | | Well, if by wild and sexy lifestyle you mean being a total whore, than yes. | Am I bisexual? When I was in sixth grade, I had a homoerotic encounter with another male. I consented, but probably because I was a spineless weakling who took orders from everybody out of desperation for peer acceptance.
In high school I drew penises. Lots of them. I was a disgusting little voyeur who was fascinated by homosexuality (as far back as eighth grade), though publicly dated girls and enjoyed the sex I had with them. Very much so.
I was always afraid of "stronger" men, but was fascinated by them. (picture me in sixth grade, peering form behind a bush at all the "alpha" males, wanting to be seen with them). Needless to say, talking to these "uber" men turned me into a sputtering little school girl. I just assumed I was mildly socially retarded.
At age 18, I experimented with magic mushrooms. Alot, actually. One trip in particular happened freshmen year of college; during that trip (in my room, by myself!) my "visions" went from cool to incredibly gay. *see details | it sounds like your bi but thats cool
i am bi | Can you look at my poems I wrote for a class a while ago? These were for a class a while ago and I'm thinking of finishing the "book". There's more to it, but I didn't want to post the whole thing. Thanks! Any criticism helps.

They tell me
go to school
be a doctor
heal the wounded.
But I wanted
to be a writer
no no no
But really –
what I know they’re saying is;
be a doctor
make us money
and besides-
what would our friends say if we told them
our son
was just
a writer?

Ms. Murray says –
my hands are too delicate
to be a doctor’s
“Do you play piano?
because your hands are perfect
for a piano.”
Ms. Murray is my patient
she is my favorite.
I just told her
I need to amputate
her feet.
July 3, 2009
The human body
has so much blood.
She came in today
with her arms sliced open.
please don’t try
and kill yourself –
it only makes
my job harder.
July 4, 2009
She’s a doctor
for tiny babies
with tiny toes
and tiny hearts.
She doesn’t know yet
that my “good morning”
means “I love you”
and she doesn’t know yet
how my heart races
when she’s around.
I’m not sure she knows
what my name is.
Yet.

All I hear is beeping
when I sleep – beeping
your pulse – beeping
though sometimes
the melodic
and trustly timely
Beeping
goes faster,
Faster
until it’s just one
long
Beep
then sobbing silence.
July 6, 2009
I saw her today –
after surgery
she had stumps
not feet.
You could see the wound
through bandages
We didn’t speak
about pianos.
We didn’t speak
at all.

There was a doctor in Germany
he was young
and this was a
long,
long time ago.
He noticed that mommies and babies
were dying,
but only in the hospitals.
Concerned,
he watched
as doctors walked
from morgue
to mommy
not washing their hands.
He tried to explain
to the doctors
but they only laughed at him.
This hurt the doctor’s feelings.
So he decided, in the morgue
to take a scalpel
dirty from a fresh body
and cut himself
in the hand.
Knowingly,
he died
3 hours later.
July 8, 2009
I have a problem.
you see –
I’m in love
that’s a diagnosis.
What’s the cure?
A voyeur –
i watch you
move across the room
and I beg
for a passing brush
of your arm
against mine.
July 10, 2009
I’m in debt
for this.
I owe people money
because
I went to school
for 8 years
in order to
tell people they’re dying
so I could
get puked on
and shat on.
And the worst thing is;
I have to keep working
at this job
so I can pay back
these people.
And then what?
Doctors
don’t get the luxury
of a career change. | | Wow you really took me into the life of the doctor. Nice. It must be hard with all that blood and stuff. I bet that's a nurse you desire. It just reminds me of this image we all try to live up to. Just a photo graph or a flash with smiles on our face in a nice home with a wife and guys. But we all didn't look to see the real workings we were all in denial growing up. | Do you know what show I'm talking about? This show is some sort of mystery/drama thriller. It's not too old, I'm thinking it's from the last five years. I only saw the first episode. There is some guy hiding behind a tree, watching three people having a picnic in the woods. The people having a picnic are a man (you don't see his face) with two age girls(they're dressed as slutty school girls in uniforms). I think he has sex with one and then kills both girls. The guy hiding behind the tree doesn't do anything to help, but later on he returns to the scene of the crime and finds that one of the girls is still alive--he kills her.
Further into the show you see that the creepy voyeur lives in a fancy house in a suburb with a wife and an older son. He is a abusive, I think his son is a writer in high school and wants to go to college on a scholarship or something.
The show also centers around a new family that moves into the neighbourhood, the father is a detective, the mother has cancer or some illness and the teenage daughter is rebellious.
Anyways, there's more but I'm hoping that's enough for someone to figure out what I'm talking about.
Thanks | It is a Canadian show called Durham County. They play it on ION (the channel) in the US.
I kind of saw it as a Canadian version of Twin Peaks. They aren't as weird as David Lynch but it had that feel with the serial killer and the power lines, etc. I liked it. There aren't that many episodes though. |
