“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F.

And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The World's Fastest Car Crash Test

So, I think we all pretty much know what happens when a car crashes at 40 mph, right?  If not, it isn't a pretty sight.  This is the speed most car companies use to crash test their cars before they go into production.  They have to pass various safety tests.

But what if the car were to go the speed most cars can go up to, at 120 mph?  Check out this amazing footage from the television show, “Fifth Gear”.   They wanted to see how a Ford Focus would handle a crash at three times that speed.  Let's just say, it was obliterated.

You make a good point, my love: Why the hell do they make cars go that fast? Knowing what happens at 120 mph, why give it that ability, especially an idy bity ford focus? Rest in pieces little car. You will be missed.
