suburb

Where you live when you dont want to live in the inner city. It's a place of mostly middle-class homes, Walmart, soccer moms, SUVs, strip malls and the homes of corporate bigwigs. Suburbs in the United States began to spring up during the post WWII years as families left the central cities for a quieter, safer and more relaxed lifestyle. However some suburbs are just as poor as the inner-city itself. According to the US census, the number of persons living in the suburbs now outnumbers those in the central cities.

Most Americans would probably rather live in a suburb than in the crime-infested inner city.

Beach Boys

A rock group from the 1960s founded by Brian Wilson and his brothers and cousin in Southern California. Their songs focused on the "California culture" of the 1960s about surfing, cars and girls.

The Beach Boys is one of the best rock groups ever in my opinion.

Rachel Ray

A TV cook turned talkshow host who coined the phrase YUM-O, DILISH and EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), and persuades you into believing you can prepare a scrumptous meal in less than 30-minutes. She has some bizarre fettish with the word DATE(s), as in the romance type, when preparing meals. I have no love life whatsoever, so why the heck would I care about having a date with any stupid woman?? She has a ditzy, talkative personality, a scratchy voice and big birth hips.

Rachel Ray needs to trim down the enthusiasm. Her joy makes me sick.

Lansing

The state capital of Michigan and its 6th largest city, with about 100,000 residents and declining. It is a typical Rust Belt Community. It was the home to Ransolm Olds (Oldsmobile) but the plants have skipped town or closed all together. Lansing is next door to Michigan State University in East Lansing. Due to the presence of the University and the state government, the Lansing area has a more diverse population and economy than the rest of Michigan.

Lansing is a good area to live as far as the rest of Michigan is concerned.

class warfare

Competition between socioeconomic classes: rich, middle-class and poor. It occurs most often in capitalist countries where politicians use it to get votes, by enacting legislation that supposedly puts one class at an advantage over the other. For example, liberals and Democrats in the United States often use the words TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH as an excuse to not support a tax cut of any kind to anyone, while Republicans complain that high taxes are burdensome for the rich and owners of small business (middle-class). In the Presidential election of 2008, Democrat candidate Barack Obama accused his opponent, Arizona Senator John McCain, of owning too many homes while McCain charged Obama of being out of touch with middle-class, middle American ideals. Politicians also utilize class war in an effort to promote universal healthcare, claiming it will help the poor and put everyone at an even playing field, but conservatives claim it will create burdensome taxes on the rich. Class warfare is also seen in corporate America as lower paying employees or members of unions sometimes protest what they perceive as unfair business practices of rewarding corporate executives with big bonuses, excessive raises and inflated salaries, while the lower paying middle-class workers are forced to accept pay cuts and job losses and concessions. The redistribution of wealth is another example where the rich are forced to surrender more of their earnings in higher taxes and give them to the poor. Another example is found in welfare, that gives money to the poor.

Wheather class warfare exists or not, ALL politicians use it to their advantage to get votes.

heaven

1. The current place where Jesus has his thrown, next to God the Father. According to Christianity, the place of everlasting peace and joy with Jesus as a reward for our faith and repentance. Jesus called it “paradise” while on the cross. Jesus dwelt there with God the Father before coming to the earth and returned after completing his earthly ministry. The Bible calls the heaven of the future the New Jerusalem that will be on planet Earth for Jesus and his followers. It will be a city of 1,500 cubic miles composed of streets of gold, a sea of glass, mansions, numerous fruit trees, Christ’s throne and overhwhelming joy and fellowship with Christ. The foundations and walls of the city will be composed of numerous gems. The scriptures say that Christ’s followers will be able to go back and forth from the New Jerusalem to the Earth. We,as mortal human beings, cannot fathom its beauty. Only God the Father and Jesus know what it will look like.

2. my honeymoon

After his resurrection, Jesus spoke of our reward in heaven when he said "I go to prepare a place for you. When I come again I will receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you will be also.

perjury

Lying under oathe. What got Bubba Clinton impeached while President. It had NOTHING to do with an adulterous affair with his intern, Monica Lewinsky. His impeachement was ENTIRELY Constitutional because the U.S Constitution lists pergery among "high crimes and misdeameanors" because it can get you thrown into jail.

Perjury is stupid and can get you thrown in jail. Just tell the truth, because the truth will eventually come out anyway. Save yourself further embarassment.
