Well I think people think sex is controversial. Not always, but certainly it's something to be discussed.

That's the heart of it: My shows were not that controversial with the American people. They were controversial with the people who think for the American people.

I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman, I'm called a bigot.

Why it hurts so
The world is a controversial place,
We don’t mean what we say.
Does yes really mean yes;
Are words just barbaric plays?
We create exquisite phrases
That inspires us, warms us within.
But it seems this hope is just fleeting;
And soon to collapse, all demolished.
We tell our young fairy stories,
Grotesque for real they might be.
But in life there are no fairy tales—
Stories are not modified for you and me.
The world is a controversial place,
Especially here, in the human world.
Sympathy is only practiced limitedly,
While self-intrest is our main goal.
The world is a controversial place,
It applies just too right for me.
“For Dreams, we live, ” This was my motto.
But now,
It shatters me.
Sense data are much more controversial than qualia, because they are associated with a controversial theory of perception - that one perceives the world by perceiving one's sense-data, or something like that.

She Had Been Nice
Of course she was loved,
By those who delighted in her leadership.
She did nothing controversial.
Or incited conflict.
And she was stylish wherever she went.
Publicly she was always pleasant.
And in a calm voice she always spoke.
But when she left office and the government in shambles...
Everyone knew her guidance was a joke.
She wasn't about disturbances.
How,
Under someone's watch...
Can billions of crumbs,
Be left as a deficit to sit on an exposed table...
Without a cleaning of it ordered to be done.
Of course she was loved,
By those who delighted in her leadership.
She did nothing controversial.
Or incited conflict.
She had been nice!
And people liked it.
Although with smiles,
Their quality of lifestyles...
Has diminished drastically.
And for some not to be in existence.
But she was 'nice'.
And people liked it!
'Where is she now? '
~She has mysteriously decided,
To spend more time with her family.
Just before the storm began.~

There are people who can talk sensibly about a controversial issue; they're called humorists.

I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.

Veil Debate
From a veiled point of view:
*Because I love my love
I want him and only him
To see the beauty of my beauty
*Because I love my God
I fear his anger
And do my best
To obey His word
/It is controversial
And if it is controversial
Take the safe side
/Either/
/Or/
F rom an unveiled point of view:
*Simplify
Especially
When you are not really disobeying Him
Because He wants us
To live
An easy and simple life
His Mercy overwhelmed His Anger
/One has to choose
/And it is not an easy choice!

I know deaf people. I have discussed the issues with them I've also thought about them a lot so I have some insights that go a little further than people who haven't had contact with the deaf community.

moments of laughs spent together, ,
moments of smiles spent together, ,
moments of fights spent together,
moments of busy ness spent together, ,
somethings discussed together, ,
some solutions found toghether,
way of living discussed together, ,
discussed and decided to be together..
will always be remembered in this life and even after, ,
may you always b happy even after me, ,
well i hope u always reign to b seen after me,
high up in the bright sky, ,
ur name flutters, ,
i know you u want the whole sky to be urs, ,

the sun rises, , the sun sets, ,
the moon rises, the moon sets, ,
the stars sparkle, , look cute,
i admire them in totally a silence soo mute,
my heart throbs with each of ur word said,
what if you never said,
how much you loved me, ,
but still feel u around me, ,
set even my mind according to it, ,
well ill always need my heart to remind me of it, , ,

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

Stuff Never Discussed...
Death-with-dignity is a subject that is never discussed,
They are not sick or going to die soon, so why cause a fuss?
And the Sue Rodriguez case was so very long ago,
Most Canadians never heard of it and just don't know.
But we are all very equal in that we are going to die,
Though we can't arrange the time and place, and I don't know why,
Something to do with religion, ethics, fear and commands from above,
Hidden subject, seldom discussed by those we claim to love.
They can do it in Switzerland and Oregon and other places,
Ottawa aristocrats tell us, we can't do it, right to our faces,
We should have a referendum but that too is not allowed,
Though they say we have democracy; this too from the same crowd.

There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
