Resolved Question: Book Covers and their Colours - is there any substance here?

29 May 2008 at 1:09am

It seems that people tend to gravitate towards novels with covers of a certain colour. I work in a bookshop, and I notice that my regulars do tend to fit this pattern - I can immediately think of my "Yellow Man," and my "Red" and "Gold" Ladies. It seems that particular genres use specific colours more - eg. I love psychological thrillers, dark Gothic tales, etc. - many of these have black and grey on their covers. A lot of historical novels include gold and pastel colours on their covers, while chick lit. and other popular genres tend have bright red, pink, yellow, or lime green covers. I'm wondering if this is deliberate, or coincidental...or is it merely people being drawn to their favourite colours? Anyway, please humour me and have a look at your pile of favourite novels, and let me know if one cover-colour dominates - seriously, I'm quite intrigued by this phenomenon! Tell me the colour (if there is one) and then tell me your favourite literary genre. Hafwen x

Instead of men in general. I mean one of the main traits of rapists in particular and abusers is poor impulse control, which can also be a symptom of other conditions like AD/HD etc....... So shouldn't you really be targeting a specific group, or at least telling men to stop these potential rapists from acting out. This is the diagnostic criterion for sociopathy (anti-social personality disorder) 1.Persistent lying or stealing 2.Recurring difficulties with the law 3.Tendency to violate the rights and boundaries of others (property, physical, sexual, emotional, legal) 4.Substance abuse 5.Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights 6.A persistent agitated or depressed feeling (dysphoria) 7.Inability to tolerate boredom 8.Disregard for the safety of self or others 9.A childhood diagnosis of conduct disorders - this is not a symptom but "a history of" 10.Lack of remorse, related to hurting others 11.Superficial charm 12.Impulsiveness 13.A sense of extreme entitlement 14.Inability to make or keep friends 15.Recklessness, impulsivity 16.People with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder often experience difficulties with authority figures : This is the diagnostic criteria for psychopathy: Factor1: Aggressive narcissism 1.Glibness / superficial charm 2.Grandiose sense of self-worth 3.Pathological lying 4.Cunning / manipulative 5.Lack of remorse or guilt 6.Shallow 7.Callous / lack of empathy 8.Failure to accept responsibility for own actions 9.Promiscuous sexual behavior Factor2: Socially deviant lifestyle 1.Need for stimulation / proneness to boredom 2.Parasitic lifestyle 3.Poor behavioral control 4.Lack of realistic, long-term goals 5.Impulsivity 6.Irresponsibility 7.Juvenile delinquency 8.Early behavior problems 9.Many short-term marital relationships 10.Revocation of conditional release Traits not correlated with either factor 1.Many short-term marital relationships 2.Promiscuous sexual behavior 3.Criminal versatility As you can see we might just be looking at a particular subgroup of the male population here. Though another important thing here is alcohol, which disinhibits the mind so your subconscious fantasies become reality, which can the mind affect any male in the population. Some men though are more likely to continuously abuse alcohol and drugs, combined with promiscuous behavior, as in the group above. Also those with bipolar affective disorder like me can fall easily fall into these states of disinhibition, with or without alcohol. I guess all you need is some sick rape fantasy that a lot of men have, a semi-conscious disinhibited state of mind, and promiscuous and impulsive behaviour. What are your opinions on this? Zen & the Art of Mellie: I know what you mean, but even the most honest good men you're talking about might possibly think about hurting a flea, and alcohol would allow them to do that, among other things, if you get what I mean.

This suit was instituted by W. O. Lucy and J. C. Lucy, complainants, against A. H. Zehmer and Ida S. Zehmer, his wife, defendants, to have specific performance of a contract by which it [***3] was alleged the Zehmers had sold to W. O. Lucy a tract of land owned by A. H. Zehmer in Dinwiddie county containing 471.6 acres, more or less, known as the Ferguson farm, for $50,000. J. C. Lucy, the other complainant, is a brother of W. O. Lucy, to whom W. O. Lucy transferred a half interest in his alleged purchase. The instrument sought to be enforced was written by A. H. Zehmer on December 20, 1952, in these words: "We hereby agree to sell to W. O. Lucy the Ferguson Farm complete for $50,000.00, title satisfactory to buyer," and signed by the defendants, A. H. Zehmer and Ida S. Zehmer. The answer of A. H. Zehmer admitted that at the time mentioned W. O. Lucy offered him $50,000 cash for the farm, but that he, Zehmer, considered that the offer [**518] was made in jest; that so thinking, and both he and Lucy having had several drinks, he wrote out "the memorandum" quoted above and induced his wife to sign it; that he did not deliver [*495] the memorandum to Lucy, but that Lucy picked it up, read it, put it in his pocket, attempted to offer Zehmer $5 to bind the bargain, which Zehmer refused to accept, and realizing for the first time that Lucy was serious, Zehmer assured [***4] him that he had no intention of selling the farm and that the whole matter was a joke. Lucy left the premises insisting that he had purchased the farm. Depositions were taken and the decree appealed from was entered holding that the complainants had failed to establish their right to specific performance, and dismissing their bill. The assignment of error is to this action of the court. W. O. Lucy, a lumberman and farmer, thus testified in substance: He had known Zehmer for fifteen or twenty years and had been familiar with the Ferguson farm for ten years. Seven or eight years ago he had offered Zehmer $20,000 for the farm which Zehmer had accepted, but the agreement was verbal and Zehmer backed out. On the night of December 20, 1952, around eight o'clock, he took an employee to McKenney, where Zehmer lived and operated a restaurant, filling station and motor court. While there he decided to see Zehmer and again try to buy the Ferguson farm. He entered the restaurant and talked to Mrs. Zehmer until Zehmer came in. He asked Zehmer if he had sold the Ferguson farm. Zehmer replied that he had not. Lucy said, "I bet you wouldn't take $50,000.00 for that place." Zehmer replied, [***5] "Yes, I would too; you wouldn't give fifty." Lucy said he would and told Zehmer to write up an agreement to that effect. Zehmer took a restaurant check and wrote on the back of it, "I do hereby agree to sell to W. O. Lucy the Ferguson Farm for $50,000 complete." Lucy told him he had better change it to "We" because Mrs. Zehmer would have to sign it too. Zehmer then tore up what he had written, wrote the agreement quoted above and asked Mrs. Zehmer, who was at the other end of the counter ten or twelve feet away, to sign it. Mrs. Zehmer said she would for $50,000 and signed it. Zehmer brought it back and gave it to Lucy, who offered him $5 which Zehmer refused, [*496] saying, "You don't need to give me any money, you got the agreement there signed by both of us." The discussion leading to the signing of the agreement, said Lucy, lasted thirty or forty minutes, during which Zehmer seemed to doubt that Lucy could raise $50,000. Lucy suggested the provision for having the title examined and Zehmer made the suggestion that he would sell it "complete, everything there," and stated that all he had on the farm was three heifers. Lucy took a partly filled bottle of whiskey into [***6] the restaurant with him for the purpose of giving Zehmer a drink if he wanted it. Zehmer did, and he and Lucy had one or two drinks together. Lucy said that while he felt the drinks he took he was not intoxicated, and from the way Zehmer handled the transaction he did not think he was either. December 20 was on Saturday. Next day Lucy telephoned to J. C. Lucy and arranged with the latter to take a half interest in the purchase and pay half of the consideration. On Monday he engaged an attorney to examine the title. The attorney reported favorably on December 31 and on January 2 Lucy wrote Zehmer stating that the title was satisfactory, that he was ready to pay the purchase price in cash and asking when Zehmer would be ready to close the deal. Zehmer replied by letter, mailed on January 13, asserting that he had never agreed or intended to sell. Mr. and Mrs. Zehmer were called by the complainants as adverse witnesses. Zehmer testified in substance as follows: He bought this farm more than ten years ago for $11,000. He had had twenty-five offers, more or less, to buy it, including several from Lucy, who had never offered any specific sum of money. He had given them all [***7] the same answer, that he was not interested in selling it. On this Saturday night before Christmas it looked like everybody [**519] and his brother came by there to have a drink. He took a good many drinks during the afternoon and had a pint of his own. When he entered the restaurant around eight-thirty [*497] Lucy was there and he could see that he was "pretty high." He said to Lucy, "Boy, you got some good liquor, drinking, ain't you?" Lucy then offered him a drink. "I was already high as a Georgia pine, and didn't have any more better sense than to pour another great big slug out and gulp it down, and he took one too." After they had talked a while Lucy asked whether he still had the Ferguson farm. He replied that he had not sold it and Lucy said, "I bet you wouldn't take $50,000.00 for it." Zehmer asked him if he would give $50,000 and Lucy said yes. Zehmer replied, "You haven't got $50,000 in cash." Lucy said he did and Zehmer replied that he did not believe it. They argued "pro and con for a long time," mainly about "whether he had $50,000 in cash that he could put up right then and buy that farm." Finally, said Zehmer, Lucy told him if he didn't believe he [***8] had $50,000, "you sign that piece of paper here and say you will take $50,000.00 for the farm." He, Zehmer, "just grabbed the back off of a guest check there" and wrote on the back of it. At that point in his testimony Zehmer asked to see what he had written to "see if I recognize my own handwriting." He examined the paper and exclaimed, "Great balls of fire, I got 'Firgerson' for Ferguson. I have got satisfactory spelled wrong. I don't recognize that writing if I would see it, wouldn't know it was mine." After Zehmer had, as he described it, "scribbled this thing off," Lucy said, "Get your wife to sign it." Zehmer walked over to where she was and she at first refused to sign but did so after he told her that he "was just needling him [Lucy], and didn't mean a thing in the world, that I was not selling the farm." Zehmer then "took it back over there * * * and I was still looking at the dern thing. I had the drink right there by my hand, and I reached over to get a drink, and he said, 'Let me see it.' He reached and picked it up, and when I looked back again he had it in his pocket and he dropped a five dollar bill over there, and he said, 'Here is five dollars payment on it.' [***9] * * * I said, 'Hell no, [*498] that is beer and liquor talking. I am not going to sell you the farm. I have told you that too many times before.'" Mrs. Zehmer testified that when Lucy came into the restaurant he looked as if he had had a drink. When Zehmer came in he took a drink out of a bottle that Lucy handed him. She went back to help the waitress who was getting things ready for next day. Lucy and Zehmer were talking but she did not pay too much attention to what they were saying. She heard Lucy ask Zehmer if he had sold the Ferguson farm, and Zehmer replied that he had not and did not want to sell it. Lucy said, "I bet you wouldn't take $50,000 cash for that farm," and Zehmer replied, "You haven't got $50,000 cash." Lucy said, "I can get it." Zehmer said he might form a company and get it, "but you haven't got $50,000.00 cash to pay me tonight." Lucy asked him if he would put it in writing that he would sell him this farm. Zehmer then wrote on the back of a pad, "I agree to sell the Ferguson Place to W. O. Lucy for $50,000.00 cash." Lucy said, "All right, get your wife to sign it." Zehmer came back to where she was standing and said, "You want to put your name [***10] to this?" She said "No," but he said in an undertone, "It is nothing but a joke," and she signed it. She said that only one paper was written and it said: "I hereby agree to sell," but the "I" had been changed to "We". However, she said she read what she signed and was then asked, "When you read 'We hereby agree to sell to W. O. Lucy,' what did you interpret that to mean, that particular phrase?" She said she thought that was a cash sale that night; but she also said that when she read that part about "title satisfactory to buyer" she understood that if the title was good Lucy would pay $50,000 but if the title was bad he would have [**520] a right to reject it, and that that was her understanding at the time she signed her name. On examination by her own counsel she said that her husband laid this piece of paper down after it was signed; that Lucy said to let him see it, took it, folded it and put it [*499] in his wallet, then said to Zehmer, "Let me give you $5.00," but Zehmer said, "No, this is liquor talking. I don't want to sell the farm, I have told you that I want my son to have it. This is all a joke." Lucy then said at least twice, "Zehmer, you have sold [***11] your farm," wheeled around and started for the door. He paused at the door and said, "I will bring you $50,000.00 tomorrow. * * * No, tomorrow is Sunday. I will bring it to you Monday." She said you could tell definitely that he was drinking and she said to her husband, "You should have taken him home," but he said, "Well, I am just about as bad off as he is." The waitress referred to by Mrs. Zehmer testified that when Lucy first came in "he was mouthy." When Zehmer came in they were laughing and joking and she thought they took a drink or two. She was sweeping and cleaning up for next day. She said she heard Lucy tell Zehmer, "I will give you so much for the farm," and Zehmer said, "You haven't got that much." Lucy answered, "Oh, yes, I will give you that much." Then "they jotted down something on paper * * * and Mr. Lucy reached over and took it, said let me see it." He looked at it, put it in his pocket and in about a minute he left. She was asked whether she saw Lucy offer Zehmer any money and replied, "He had five dollars laying up there, they didn't take it." She said Zehmer told Lucy he didn't want his money "because he didn't have enough money to pay for his property, [***12] and wasn't going to sell his farm." Both of them appeared to be drinking right much, she said. She repeated on cross-examination that she was busy and paying no attention to what was going on. She was some distance away and did not see either of them sign the paper. She was asked whether she saw Zehmer put the agreement down on the table in front of Lucy, and her answer was this: "Time he got through writing whatever it was on the paper, Mr. Lucy reached over and said, 'Let's see it.' He took it and put it in his pocket," before showing it to Mrs. [*500] Zehmer. Her version was that Lucy kept raising his offer until it got to $50,000. The defendants insist that the evidence was ample to support their contention that the writing sought to be enforced was prepared as a bluff or dare to force Lucy to admit that he did not have $50,000; that the whole matter was a joke; that the writing was not delivered to Lucy and no binding contract was ever made between the parties

Resolved Question: What do you like about Hillary so much?

6 May 2008 at 10:31am

It seems like there are a lot of people on here who have nothing good to say about Obama, and are supporting Hillary. But I have yet to see anyone say what good she will do for our country. Why do you want Hillary to be president? Is there some policy that you really agree with? Do you think she's honest despite being caught in numerous lies? Do you think she'll bring less scandal to the White House than her husband? Or is she just safer because she's white and has an American-sounding name? For all this talk about how Obama doesn't have any substance but Hillary outlines everything, I sure haven't heard anything specific about how she'll implement plans or why she'll be the best president. All I've heard is people getting caught up in the mudslinging and political games, and deciding that Hillary is the "lesser of 2 evils." What a horrible way to decide the leader of this great nation. We're talking about the president, not American Idol. Toasdasa - No, I don't support McCain. I respect him as a war hero, and I truly do believe he's a hero, but I disagree with many of his policies. The main one I disagree with is his pledge to reverse Roe v. Wade. http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/issues/95b18512-d5b6-456e-90a2-12028d71df58.htm Which is why Democrats and Independents have to band together no matter who the candidate turns out to be. I'm asking this because so many Hillary supporters seem to just hate Obama and say they would never vote for him. That's really sad, since the next prez will appoint 3 Supreme Court Justices. I feel like we're dooming ourselves to many more years of conservative evangelical values just because this primary has become so petty and hostile. ilewonde - This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're simply regurgitating political banter and mudslinging, and abstract ideas like "Hillary loves her country." I believe all the candidates love their country. Convince me to vote for Hillary. What will she do out of her love of country? How will she implement her policies? Why do I want to vote for her? Since I don't believe Obama is evil or racist or muslim or scary or whatever else, I need something of substance to take my vote away from him. ilewonde - This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Since I don't believe Obama is evil or racist or muslim or scary or whatever else, I need something of substance to take my vote away from him. BreakonThrough - Maybe elect was the wrong word. The next prez will appoint 3 new justices, because 3 are probably retiring. With Bush's appointees, the will have a clear majority. Whether or not they reverse Roe v. Wade (which McCain has made a strong pledge to do, ref. to the link), they will be ruling every case that comes through according to their conservative values. I'm sorry, but conservative values haven't been good for this country in the last 8 years, and I don't know anyone except evangelicals who really think they have been. Unless you want this country headed down the Hagee-Falwell road (who scare me much worse than Wright), I would vote for whoever the Democratic candidate turns out to be. P.S. I'm not new here, and I've seen plenty of people outline Obama's platform, myself included. Maybe they haven't done it with Hillary as much since she wasn't under as much fire as Obama when he had the clear lead. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am9sRyTi1gm7UUsypIVhRQXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid= 20080410111330AAeg18w&show=7#profile-info-912uS0ulaa Thank you Beanie :-) homiel - I'm trying to find some articles - most mention it indirectly.
