This really grips my s**t. Went to asda the other night with my son aged
2 and duly parked in one of the parent and toddler spaces. (Most
parents will agree that an extra couple of foot of parking space is
essential when trying to cram an unco-operating or asleep child into a
car seat and get all the straps buckled up!!) Anyway whilst I was doing
this this Monster Beats Solo HD
couple in their late 40's pulled into the space next to me in their
brand new Lexus (car make doesn't make any difference to the story), out
they jumped, bleeped on the car alarm and off they went, no kids. This
guy must have felt the daggers I was staring at him or seen the steam
blowing out my ears, as he looked back a couple of times, first at his
car the second time looking a bit concerned that I was staring at him. A
couple of seconds after he turned the corner, he returned, probably
more worried I was going to touch his car than feeling guilty for
parking in one of the few parent/toddler spaces, but he got in his car
and moved all the same. By the time I had the carpet monster strapped in
and was setting off, I just saw the same Lexus pulling up in one of the
disabled driver space. I cannot express how I feel about such people
without risking a ban for impropper language. At the time, I didn't want
to start an argument with the bloke as I had my child in the car, so I
rang asda on my mobile and they said they would announce it on the
tannoy to get him to shift his car. I don't know if they did, I left, my
blood boiling. When relaying this tale to a friend at work, he said
he'd seen a perfectly able lad in his 20's pull into a disabled space.
All my mate said to him was "I hope you need that space oneday." enough
said!!
I agree with you absolutely on this one. Mind. I've seen cars with a
driver ferrying a disabled individual parking in kiddie spots and
they've proclaimed that there aren't enough spots. Now, on both
occasions I've seen this the disability has been a cane at most. So. is
that a better use of the space than it being used by a lone parent with a
couple of struggling toddlers. I don't think so. And, yes. I've seen
the youngsters, the middle-aged couples, etc. parking in disabled and
kiddie spots - and I've tutted and stared for all its been worth. Most
have simply ignroed me or declared that they're only going to be there 5
minutes. So, that's a consolation for the disabled driver who drives by
in 2 minutes?! I don't think so.
Firstly, it is not meant to be
scary. . The creature is in search for his creator through the novel as
we searched for a creator and came up with a "god". He wants a mate. .
This book is amazing and I http://www.beatsmonstersaustralia.com/ would highly reccomend reading it to anyone who enjoys a good book and doesn't mind actually thinking a little. ~Psycho
I enjoy how the creature's search for meaning and a creator mirrors the
search that human's have been on for centuries. It's fascinating that
people will see the creature as a monster when what he is doing is
trying to survive and reproduce and find a meaning to his life. He feels
to do this he must find his creator, just as many of us use a god to
try to find meaning in our lives. And his desire to survive and
reproduce fits Darwin's survival of the fittest theories to Monster Beats Solo
perfection. It amazes me that she was twenty when she wrote it as I
am twenty now and beginning my first novel. Definitly a good book that I
have defended to many people and have explained to many as well. The
concept of Frankenstein being the doctor and the creature not actually
having a name seems to allude many people. your *chooses words
carefully* amuses me as I tend not to and to just say what I am thinking
~Psycho
You know, I was extremely surprised to find that Igor and the quote
"Live my beautiful creation, live!!" were not only not in the book, but
not in the movie either! (Which, by the way, is almost nothing like the
book.) Personally I think it would be one of my favorite books if I
didn't hate Victor Frankenstein so much. My personal dislike for
Frankenstein aside though, I see no reason to swear off reading the
book. The questions it raises are questions that should be considered
with great care by everyone.
