RE: Text Difficult To Read
When it comes to text on websites, users either read or scan.
Reading involves focusing on words for a thorough comprehension of the subject.
Scanning involves skimming the words for a broader comprehension of the subject.
When you should use white text on a dark background depends on whether users are scanning or reading text.

RE: US PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL BEN CARSON SAYS BEING GAY IS A CHOICE, AND PRISONS PROVE
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized for commenting Wednesday that prisoners' changes after they leave jail proves being gay is a choice, but said that the science is still murky on the issue.
And then, in a radio appearance later Wednesday, he criticized CNN for airing the comments he'd made in an interview and said he won't be addressing gay rights issues for the duration of his presidential campaign.Carson had asserted Wednesday morning on CNN's "New Day" that homosexuality is a choice because people "go into prison straight β and when they come out, they're gay."
He backtracked in a statement afterward, saying he "realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues."
"I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended," he added.
Carson referenced his medical education and his work at Johns Hopkins Hospital and asserted that the verdict is still out on whether people are born either gay or straight.
"Some of our brightest minds have looked at this debate, and up until this point there have been no definitive studies that people are born into a specific sexuality," he said.
In a radio interview with Sean Hannity, Carson then said he won't be talking about gay rights anymore "because every time I'm gaining momentum, the liberal press says, let's talk about gay rights -- and I'm just not going to fall for that anymore."
Still, he said, he believes marriage should be restricted to one man and one woman.
"We have something that's worked just fine for thousands of years to create a nurturing environment for raising children, and I think that's where we ought to leave it," Carson told Hannity.
During the interview Wednesday morning, when Carson was asked by Chris Cuomo whether being gay is a choice, he replied: "Absolutely."
"Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question," Carson said.
That argument, Carson said, "thwarts" the notion that homosexuality isn't a choice. His statements are at odds with the majority of the medical community, including the American Psychological Association, which says "most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation." Slate's Mark Joseph Stern also outlined the scientific arguments against this particular belief last year.
Carson's comment comes as Republicans try to avoid the kinds of incendiary comments on cultural issues that cost the party two Senate races -- when Missouri's Todd Akin and Indiana's Richard Mourdock drew national attention for their remarks on rape -- and hurt Mitt Romney in 2012.
Other Republicans who are considering 2016 campaigns were silent on Carson's comments Wednesday, with several failing to respond to requests for comment from CNN.
Carson also said he believes the issue of allowing or restricting same-sex marriage should be decided on the state level, rather than by federal courts -- even as the Supreme Court prepares to take up a case this spring that could legalize gay marriage nationwide.
He said it's possible to grant the legal rights that accompany marriage to same-sex couples -- or to any two people at all -- without applying the word "marriage" to their relationships.
"Why do gay people want to get married? Why do they say they want to get married? Because they want to have various rights -- property rights, visitation rights," he said. "Why can't any two human beings, I don't care what their sexual orientation is, why can't they have the legal right to do those things? That does not require changing the definition of marriage."

RE: How old were you when you find that you gay ??
Looking back, I'd say 11 or 12 I knew, which is probably when I learnt about homosexuality, although it was later when I would admit it to myself. I also remember one occasion when I was 8 or 9 and I remember seeing a guy in the changing rooms at a water park on holiday who I think may have been my first gay crush.
How old are you now?

RE: MICHAEL COLYAR: ON THE L.A. RIOTS
All my friends, we was ready for the second riot. No, not like the first one, where we were just grabbing stuff at random β it wouldn't be like that. I've got a thousand boxes of Pampers; I don't know what I'm going to do with it. No, no, this time we had a list. We were going to get the stuff we need. Everybody on my block has bought a U-Haul.

RE: Are you guys happy with this year Oscar?
Birdman is good, but I thought Boyhood will win. Even though I like Julianne Moore, Rosamund Pike was awesome too.
In some ways, Boyhood has been the victim of its own success..

RE: How can I download from Filesmonster ???
I don't know this is the purpose of filesmonster from the start or I am just in terrible bad luck that after getting all the splits together, the file I received ( not always but it happened lots of time) is corrupt.
It happened to me lots of time so I had to say goodbye to filesmonster. The only way to get the better files is purchase the vip account so you can get the whole file in 1 time.The corrupted pieces are always a problem..

I want exclusivity. Not sharing.
