BLOG DISCOVERY - FIRST SEX ROBOT

I was moved to find sex article because fueled by my dream last night. My partner said he wanted to wear my black bra, while he pointed to a pair of breasts. He said they were his breasts, whereas I was pretty sure they were my breasts.

Ehhheeh, you know that. Only in a dream we can do anything. But even in my dreams, I still be me. I can't accept a situation where my partner  has breast like my breasts. My breasts are my identity as a woman, because they serve to breastfeed our baby, and (as well as an option) doublet pleasure to my partner when we make love. For me (either in dreams or awake) my partner's breasts just a proof that he is a creature of mammals, just like me, but his breasts can't be used to feed the baby. My breasts: can.


Dissonance in perceptions are minor annoyances. Small disturbance in sleep is an alarm to awake. I woke up and found him still asleep with shirtless. In such a position, he looked more handsome than when he was neat. Of course I'm not going to remind him what he wanted in my dream when he'll be well-dressed. Mmm, he. Yes. My well-dressed man.

Dahling, do you want to wear my black bra?

By Jeff Mason and Yara Bayoumy - WASHINGTON/BEIRUT - President Barack Obama won the backing of key figures in the U.S. Congress, including Republicans, in his call for limited U.S. strikes on Syria to punish President Bashar al-Assad for his suspected use of chemical weapons against civilians.

Obama: world 'cannot be silent' on Syria
Dialogue! Dialogue! Perform a conducive dialogue, America! Hold a dialogue! Or, ... will you be a mediator as you did in the conflict between Israel and Palestine, for example? Although your position in this situation is quite odd -- you become a mediator in the Syrian crisis -- but if you do it with sincerity to achieve a solution, why not?

(Of course not, Cisca! According to your opinion, why does the U.S. want to be bothered to be a mediator between Israel and Palestine? Because the U.S. loves Israel. In this case, does the U.S. love Syria, so for that reason then the U.S. is willing to find the best solution for all parties? Ehehehe. Are you sure that the U.S. will be so concerned with civilian casualties due to Sarin gas exposure in Syria just because the moral responsibility for the atrocities themselves? Ehehehe.  Who cares about your death, Syrians? As long as the American people are fine, do you think the U.S. is really concerned with what is called oppression of a regime on its people all over the world? Ehheheh.

The U.S. just loves Israel. That's it. Israel fears is a big boost to U.S. aggression to all of any country in the world. (Do not make an exodus to the South Pole, Israel! There is a lot of penguins! Ehehehe....)

Damascus hotels host fleeing families, not tourists

Syria says will not give in 'even if there is WWIII'. Syria's deputy foreign minister said Wednesday the regime would not give in to threats of a US-led military strike against the country, even if a third world war erupts. In an exclusive interview with AFPTV, Faisal Muqdad said the government had taken "every measure" to counter a potential intervention aimed at punishing the regime of Bashar al-Assad over a suspected deadly poison gas strike.



It is a very natural psychological reaction. If your house will be destroyed, do you just stay silent in fear? If your children in fear, then you will not be able to protect them by showing the same fear. You have to be stronger to protect those who are weak.

I'm very concerned with the refugees. The U.S. attack plan will make even more people to evacuate Syria.

If the turmoil in Syrian political body has subsided, I want every government in the world is realizing that the greatest asset of a nation and the strongest pulse of government's life is the support of its people. They are your children in your family. The value of their existence is more meaningful than your house, your country. Your power is the highest legitimacy of your people's love to you. Do you still think your life is happy when your children away from home with your family because of fear of your doings, hm?

NEWS
AP Interview: Putin warns West on Syria action
Obama faces Syria test as House holds 1st hearing

10 interesting things Russia's Putin told the AP
NOVO-OGARYOVO, Russia (AP) — In an interview with The Associated Press and Russia's state Channel 1 television, President Vladimir Putin discussed a wide range of issues, including disputes over the Syrian civil war, his relations with President Barack Obama, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and the rights of gays in Russia. Here are 10 interesting things he said in the interview late Tuesday.

1. CHEMICAL WEAPONS VIDEOS DON'T PROVE SYRIA'S GOVERNMENT IS GUILTY

"These are horrible pictures. The question is only who did it and what they did, and who is responsible for this. These pictures do not answer the questions I have just posed. There is an opinion that it's a compilation by these very rebels, who are connected with al-Qaida and who were always distinguished by exceptional brutality."

2. RUSSIA WON'T RULE OUT MILITARY ACTION AGAINST SYRIA — IF U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL APPROVES

"I do not exclude this, but I would like to draw your attention to one absolutely key aspect: In line with international law, only the U.N. Security Council can sanction the use of force against a sovereign state. Any other pretext or method which might be used to justify the use of force against an independent sovereign state is inadmissible and can only be interpreted as an aggression."

3. RUSSIAN SHIPMENTS OF AIR DEFENSE MISSILE SYSTEM TO SYRIA ON HOLD — FOR NOW

"We have a contract for the delivery of the S-300s. We have supplied some of the components, but the delivery hasn't been completed. We have suspended it for now. But if we see that steps are taken that violate the existing international norms, we shall think how we should act in the future, in particular regarding supplies of such sensitive weapons to certain regions of the world."

4. RELATIONS WITH OBAMA CAN BE TESTY — BUT THAT'S NORMAL

"President Obama hasn't been elected by the American people in order to be pleasant to Russia. And your humble servant hasn't been elected by the people of Russia to be pleasant to someone either. We work, we argue about some issues. We are human. Sometimes one of us gets vexed. But I would like to repeat once again that global mutual interests form a good basis for finding a joint solution to our problems."

5. ... AND DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO BODY LANGUAGE

"There are some gestures, of course, that you can only interpret one way. But no one has ever seen those kinds of gestures directed by Obama at me or by me at Obama, and I hope that never happens. Everything else is fantasy."

6. NO OFFENSE, BUT U.S. SPIES LOST THE PLOT ON NSA LEAKER EDWARD SNOWDEN

"Representatives of the American special services — and I hope they won't be angry — but they could have been more professional, and the diplomats as well. After they found out that he was flying to us, and that he was flying as a transit passenger, there was pressure from all sides — from the Americans, from the Europeans — instead of just letting him go to a country where they could operate easily."

7. HOMOPHOBIC, ME? LOOK HOW MANY AWARDS I'VE GIVEN TO GAYS!

"I assure you that I work with these people. I sometimes award them with state prizes or decorations for their achievements in various fields. We have absolutely normal relations, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary here. They say that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was a homosexual. Truth be told, we don't love him because of that, but he was a great musician, and we all love his music. So what?"

8. TERRORISTS MUST BE FACED DOWN AND STOPPED

"Terrorists are always a threat to someone. If we're scared of them, it means they have won. But that doesn't mean we can have a devil-may-care attitude toward this threat. We must do everything to stop these threats and not give the terrorists a single chance to demonstrate their brutality and hatred of mankind."

9. OPPOSITION LEADER ALEXEI NAVALNY SHOULD CLEAN UP HIS OWN ACT BEFORE CRITICIZING CORRUPTION

"This gentleman has taken on the very fashionable theme of fighting corruption and I say again: In order to fight corruption you have to be crystal clear yourself. But there are problems here, and in this regard I unfortunately have a suspicion that this is just a way of getting votes and not a genuine desire to solve the problem."

10. INTELLECTUALS BEWARE: REVOLUTION IS BAD FOR YOU

"We should all be aware of the fact that when revolutionary — not evolutionary — changes come, things can get even worse. The intelligentsia should be aware of this. And it is the intelligentsia specifically that should keep this in mind and prevent society from radical steps and revolutions of all kind. We've had enough of it. We've seen so many revolutions and wars. We need decades of calm and harmonious development."

Putin presses US Congress over Syria, says Kerry lied
Strongly Agree! Mwah! President Putin's mindset is very logical and civilized. I've been shouting the similar thing from Our Kitchen, "The U.S. Congress has no right to determine the U.S. military action to Syria, even if they hold a vote though, because the U.S. Congress is not an international organization that has authority to do so. Meanwhile, Syrian state is not part of the U.S. state.

If the U.S. military action to Syria will remain to be done, then this action is a proof that the U.S. has never respect the sovereignty of other countries, Middle Eastern countries, and Syria in particular.

Is this evidence of a U.S. devotion to Israel, hm?

Sometimes I really like my fantasy. So here it goes : If Middle east countries always in the political unrest every time the U.S. looks vigorous and active there -- and the U.S. is always very busy and active with the political situation in the Middle East just because there's Israel in the Middle East, whereas, you find out for yourself, how many of Israel's neighbors who truly love Israel and love the neighboring with Israel -- then
why Israel does not move to America and  asks the U.S. to share its territory with the U.S.? Will you, America? Would you like to share your territory with your ally -- Israel -- in your own continent? You say you really love Israel and very loyal to Israel, do not you? So, what is so hard to share your territory with Israel in your big continent? Ehehhe.

Henceforth, let us observe the progress of peace in the Middle East. I am sure, it will be achieved only in a matter of months. The U.S. does not need to make itself busy in the name of democracy to intervene in any sort of there, and eventually the world will find its peace. Amen. But I'm also very confident, none of the legal institutions can authorize my imaginary. Amen. Well, at least you, my partner knows my big dream well. Amen.

Russia sends missile cruiser to Mediterranean: Interfax
French PM: Assad could strike again if no one acts
Ouch ouch, every day I eat vegetables and fruits, and feel quite satisfied, and I thank God for every good fortune in our family, ... but why does God still give me some other exams by creating people who actually have enough in age and maturity of thought, but they are less qualified to occupy important positions in government? Assad could strike again if no one acts? Who said that? French PM!

Excuse me, is he going to eat again when hungry?

Assad has said that he does not like if Syria is attacked by a foreign power. An allegation that Assad regime has been killing the opposition with Sarin gas has made Syria in a position to be attacked by the U.S..

So, please tell me how our logical consequence in reading the mindset of the old man from France with his statement, "Assad could strike again if no one acts."

Does it mean President Assad will always approve any U.S. military attack plans  --- that it will be done anytime Assad do his atrocities to Syria people  --- because Assad government will also use more chemical weapons to tackle terrorism in the country? Ah, come on. Do not shake the logic of world public with untidy premises like this.

Of course, as long as terrorism is still unsettling the Syrian government, then Syria's military will intervene to resolve it. So, what is your problem, Mr. Jean-Marc Ayrault? Do you want to help clear up the Syrian crisis or even worsen it? Why do not you send your spies to Syria to find out who the perpetrators of the atrocity?

Moreover, Syria is not obliged to comply with the use of chemical weapons treaties, because Assad never signed the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) or ratified the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention (BTWC).

Ops, one more thing, do not forget to tell your minions, all allegations must be accompanied by factual  evidence, okay?

But at least, Putin skin color is whiter than the color of Obama's skin. Sorry, if you accuse me of racism just because I commented about the skin color, then you are wrong. Barack Obama does not need to be offended because of his skin color is darker than the skin color of Vladimir Putin, because it's a fact. I do not slander him.

If you choose white shoes in a shoe shop, pay the shoes price and wearing the shoes with good feelings for wearing white shoes ---and you do not choose black shoes at all---, does that mean you are a racist?

Oh, my little baby, I will teach you about the color since you are a toddler, because it is important to detect whether you're experiencing the color blindness or not, and this does not mean I am teaching racism to you at early age.

LABOR : Do Women Really Want Equality?
It has been proving in many studies that the quality of equality is more important than quantity. This is certainly going to be our thinking together. Hopefully in the times to come, gender mainstreaming is no longer seen as the 'emancipation of women', but will have to put forward an institutional arrangement ranging from policy planning, decision-making and management implementation in favor of gender equality, mainstreaming human rights both men men and women in accordance with the nature and responsibilities.

In the present era, many institutions began to feel that servant leadership can provide optimal results for the organization. My question is "Can women represent the servant leadership?

Indeed, the soul to serve does not absolutely belong to women. But strong women leaders, usually have a sensitivity and "mother instinct", we are able to be catalysts and driving force for the environment to change for the better. In other words, we have the power to become agents of change.
