Many who know me know I follow the news . On any given day, I will go online and read CNN, Time, and other news sites. The stituation with Israel and Gaza has gotten out of control and is involving other countries, as Gazans are attempting to get the food and other supplies they need to live. Israel has made a major error in cutting the Gaza Strip off from fuel and other items.
Here is the Blog entry I found on Time. com.
Egypt and Hamas, the Islamic masters of Gaza, are playing a dangerous game of brinksmanship. On Friday, when Egyptian police with riot shields began shooting in the air to stop mobs of Palestinians from surging across from Gaza, all it took was for Hamas gunmen to appear silhouetted along the collapsed security wall, and the rows of Egyptian police faded away.
Next Hamas cranked up bulldozers and knocked down large swaths of the concrete and metal wall dividing the Palestinian enclave from Egypt. One Hamas commander in Rafah explained that: “As long as Israel keeps us locked in a siege, we will keep this border open with Egypt.” Before dawn on Wednesday, Palestinian militants blew nearly 20 holes in the border fence, allowing Gazans to dash into Egypt to buy food and supplies denied under Israel’s blockade. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak imposed the siege on Gaza’s 1.5 million people as punishment for militants firing rockets into southern Israel.
It was flawed logic. Even with the siege, Palestinian rockets kept falling on Israeli communities near the Gaza fence. And now that Hamas has forcibly broken through the blockade, Israel is in a quandary over how to deal with Hamas. As a first option, Israeli warplanes on Thursday carried out two air strikes, killing several senior Hamas militants near the destroyed fence with Egypt. But Israeli officials expressed worries that with the Egyptian border wide open, militants will start bringing in large quantities of weapons and men into Gaza. And, Israelis also said that Gaza militants and suicide bombers might now be free to sneak into southern Israel through Sina desert, which is not fenced off. Israel has warned its tourists to leave Sinai’s Red Sea resorts.
Most likely, Israel will tighten restrictions on fuel and other essential supplies –-items that Gazans couldn’t care across on their Egyptian shopping spree. If so, it won’t be long before Gazan’s again feel the squeeze of Israel’s sanctions.
Egypt’s stand-off with Hamas on Friday was all the more embarrassing because hours earlier, President Hosni Mubarak was reprimanded by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who urged Egypt to secure the border with Gaza. Israel and the U.S. both consider Hamas to be a terrorist organization since it has vowed to destroy the Jewish state. But it is doubtful that Egypt can close the Gaza border and scoop back the tens of thousands of Gazans who swarmed into Egypt without help from Hamas, and this has certainly raised the Islamic militant’s stature. Once again, Hamas has shown that when it comes to Gaza, they are the force to be reckoned with, not Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas –the weak favorite of Israel and the U.S.

OK First off Dylan/MBK's real mother is NOT on this site Miss Lolita who doesn't know WTF she is talking about is referring to something that ***** told her and ***** was referring to me I am his VR mom apparently according to you people but I am not his REAL mother so please get your facts straight before you start bitching about things that you have no idea what you are talking about. THANK YOU. And as for him running to anyone he didn't come running to me we were talking on MSN when she bit him and just mentioned it to me and I'M the one that went off. Sooo anyway two adults that have nothing better to do than talk about a teenager who doesn't hurt anyone on here really need to take a good look at themselves instead. Just my opinion. Have a nice day Neil.
The following was sent to a freind of mine on here by BloodPrincess of the Coven of Sacred Moon. She is also RainbowPrincess of the Coven of Extreme Rainbows. I was given false information by a third party and when I believed it, acted on it and wanted to express my opinion about it, someone I did not know , but who was in the same coven as me did not have the balls to message me and set the record straight. They decided to message everyone else about it. How wonderful and great. Look people, drama is not going to get you anywhere. Calling people names on the Net, telling them to take a good look at themselves, and getting upset over minor things is going to cause you stress. You will have high blood pressure which can lead to an early death. Others will still be alive and kicking. You on the other hand will not be here. If that is what you want, then go for it. If not, then calm down. Remember what Billy Joel said. You're only human. You're bound to make your share of mistakes. And others are only human. They are going to do the same thing. If someone is given false information by a trusted friend, then you cannot get angry at them for believing it.
At that point, it is the mature, sane thing to try to correct that information and heal any hurt feelings. Only the true drama starters will sit back and tell everyone else and let it be third party info.
I left my coven because of this. I was a member of the Coven of the Extreme Rainbows. Because I left , a good freind of mine will not answer my phone calls. Apparently, a misunderstanding on the Internet and how people think of them is more important than our friendship ever was. Okay. That I can deal with. What I cannot deal with how this friend gave me false information and now I need to take a hard look at myself according to their other friend. This is an Intenet friend. I hope this friend does not do anything to hurt them. I hope this friend will be there for them the next time they need a friend. I hope this person is not here today gone tomorrow. We will find out.
People I could not help myself. I had to copy and paste this idiotic rant into my journal. I would name who the author is, but you will have to read Radu's journal to find out. Apparently, someone on the rave thinks he knows the following mentioned in his little rant better than they know themselves. If doing your job on the rave makes you an asshole or any other vile name, then maybe they are. I do not personally feel that way about them. I do know this individual has had his portfolio suspended. I do not know why nor do I care at this point. Apparently, he has violated a VR rule and got himself suspended. It is kinda like the people who break a law and get themselves locked up in prison. Calling those who punished you names does not change the fact you violated the rules. It makes you look silly and immature.
Here is what this sage or widsom had to say. I hope you notice the tone of my last sentence. I by no means consider this fellow a sage of widsom or anything else. He should just get his portfolio in compliance with VR rules and quit spewing his own personal brand of stupidity.
I do hope this is not too painful for anyone to read. The entire little rant is located in Radu's journal.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The following is not the opinion of Lolitamarie.
There are too many self proclaimed 'assholes' on VR. Most, in my opinion, are watered down pussys that think they're assholes by downrating Whelps.
Lets take Stabb, queenmorbid, Radu, and Khayman for a moment. They like to claim they're assholes/bitches, aye? Well I completely disagree. I mean come on now, you can't possibly be an asshole when you're adored by 95% of the Active Members.
I've not seen one of these people being hated upon anywhere at all.
Radu thinks he's an asshole cuz he can suspend people.
Stabb thinks he's an asshole cuz he can RIA Threads.
queenmorbid...I don't even know.
And Khayman is some elitist assclown.
I could see how Khayman could be an asshole though, I've just never seen her be one.
You four are pussys. Plain and simple. No this is not a direct flame on you four, but I'm just saying. You guys are not assholes at all.
I have a good friend on this site who shed some light on the stituation with MBK. Perhaps, his mommy should have a talk with him or any of the females her son flirts with. His age is not even listed on his profile. Like leo8280 just said, he has a premium membership. If he is 15, one must ask how did he get that membership? Did mommy buy it?
Here is what my friend has written me

This message came from a good friend of mine and I am lucky to know this person in real life. This person was only looking out for me and my best interests. Also the interest of our coven. Read the message. Those who regularly read my journal and who know me on here know I am busy with work. I do not have time to be on the rave much . I also do not have time to check the age of every member. I have a 12 year old son, so a fifteen year old is not someone I would be interested in. I bit him to say hello and that was it. I was not aware of his age. Apparently his mother contacted my coven master and complained. That is her right and I applaud her knowing what is going on. I just wish she would understand that biting is not a come on with me. Fifteen year olds are children under me and I have no desire to be with a child. Apparently, this woman is protective. Perhaps, her son should not be on the rave or she should make him tell everyone how old he is from the jump . My son will not have a rave account at 15. I am not one of those demanding this site set an age limit, but if parents are going to complain then maybe it is something to be considered in the near future.
Here is what Mikhail sent me. I will not message this child, but I am hoping the child in question's mother reads this and knows I am not interested in her son in an abnormal way. Children are not my cup of tea. I rarely get on the rave these days, because I work seven days a week. Perhaps, the mother should get to know someone before she starts pointing fingers. She may feel better that way. I do hope others who run across her son's profile , remember do not bite him, do not stalk him and do not message him. You may find yourself in big trouble if you do.
Here is Mikhail's message
Don't bite MBK he is 15 yrs old (jail bait city) Lola and his mom is on VR and complaining about you biting him so no more ok what you do reflects on the coven remember your an acm now and must act appropriately

Biting is not sex! There is nothing wrong with biting~ it is after all, a Vampire site! My son had a premium account on here last year at 14. The age of acceptance to be on the site is 13, and that is an acceptable age. I'm 42 and I don't want anyone online having cyber sex with me.
The problem with the older people on here is they want to flatter themselves and think they are above these young people. They are not!!! These young people are just as intellegent as they are. If someone is using their age as something that gives them an up over someone else, they have nothing worthwhile to them at all. I hate how these people treat the kids. And I hate looking at someones profile with their sex garbage on it.
(Thank you again LolitaMarie~ I feel kind of odd commenting in your journal, it's funny, I hope you don't think I'm a nut)
