Really?




My life as an 18 year old human being has many advantages and disadvantages. Being 18 we can be shipped off to a foreign land with a gun and protect our country from all the “bad guys.” We can drive as late as we want, we don’t have any restrictions on the movies I can see, and I can smoke cigarettes. Can’t have a beer yet, or go to the bathroom when I need too? This is my exact thought process that was growing inside my head after I had asked to use the bathroom in my high school science class. I got up, and while walking out of the door I looked back and said “I am going run to the bathroom real fast,” thinking that was the least I could do. If I had really wanted to I should have just got up and left with out saying anything. But I stopped on a dime when I heard the “NO!” come out of the teachers mouths. The thing that pisses me off is that I am a pretty respectable kid if I do say so myself, and I have never asked to go during an important discussion or anything of that nature. We were all quietly working on some pointless work sheet that he handed out for some busy work. I just replied to him with, what had to be the most dumbfounded look upon face, “Really?” This is one of those teachers who thinks he needs to be a hard ass and make kids learn, when in reality all that did is made me look at him with no more respect, then that of a freshmen in high school.

Man; Well Done


Here is one more of my rants about this “Religion” topic and I would imagine that it would get quite tedious for you the reader. I cant help to pass this up with it drops right in front of me. This is some sort of press conference with some sort of Saudi leader, sorry for the lack of details, but he is speaking what seems to be in front of lots of people some kids, some adults. He is speaking to the crowd about a certain story, I emphasize the word story about the Jewish people of long ago and how they planned to kill the well know prophet Muhammad. He sets this story up as it was being told to a bunch of children there is a distinct storyline, not just a conversation that cuts to the point. Then at 2:51 second into the video it becomes clear he is preaching to children. He is actually sitting in front of people describing to them why they should hate Jewish people. These people that he is talking to are probably so un-educated that believe each and everything that is said to them. Its just painful for me to watch.

4:32
Man; Do you like the Jews?
Boy: NO!
Man: You Hate Them?
Why do you hate them?
What did the Jews Do?
Boy: They tried to Kill Muhammad

Man: When you curse them, What do you say “oh god..”
Boy: “oh god destroy the Jews.”
Man: Well done.

Torture>?

There has been quite the buzz going around lately about Torture and all the “techniques” that the US used with many of its prisoners. This has me at a cross road, I can see the thought behind it. This makes perfect sense, if you need some one to tell you something make it so they have to tell you. But on the other hand think about it, who are we to say you are going to tell me this or I will hurt you in ways you never thought possible or ways that will bring you to the brink of death. That cant be right. One of the methods used a lot is called “Water boarding” check out this video of one of my favorite writers Christopher Hitchens experience this first hand … he makes very good points at the end… I found this disturbing… So simple yet so affective.



Here was a recent discussion about Torture on all of our favorite source for news. FOX. This features Shepard Smith a news anchor completely speaking his mind on live TV. This is one of the few times I feel like a agree with what is being said on the news network. There are some very good points being brought up here and this is worth watching. This is an extremely touchy subject and it is amazing to me that this stuff has not been brought up before…. This is insane how have we been letting people get away with this kind of stuff, especially in the United States of America.

At a loss for words...





Please take the time to watch these two videos above… you will be amazed. If any of you’re are listening to these two men and are shaking your head at the sheer ignorance and closed mindedness of these puppets you are not alone. This quite possibly is one of the most disturbing meeting that I have ever listened too. This is absolutely asinine. The first man is an ELECTED official, this man is supposed to have the wisdom to lead states and people to be doing the right thing, and making the wisest decisions for the good of the state and the country. The thing that’s hard for me to believe is that these two men look right at years and years and years of scientific data and just say to hell with it. Its almost like these people feel like science is completely irrelevant to everything out there… stop and think for a moment where we would be with out peer revised scientific reports, science data, scientific observations, if you are struggling to come up with an answer it would be NO WHERE, we would still be sitting here wondering why thing fall when you throw them up. By the way some extra info I just read, is that there is more scientific data to support global warming than gravity. The thing that really frustrates me is that he does not keep this opinion to himself, he is a congressmen who job it is to change the thoughts of people around him, this is downright dangerous. These two men be the butt of every single futuristic joke, with there complete stupidity. This government needs a make over real soon. It is pretty pathetic when a congressmen for the United States of America is less educated than a bunch of seniors in high school. Our founding Fathers are turning in their grave as we speak….. Good Luck Future generations with leaders like this………..Have a good night

From a Friend




Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Nicely Done Mr. President



If there is not already enough bad mouthing of Obama, He sure will be receiving a bit more after the yearly Easter egg roll on the white house lawn. This was like every other Easter egg roll but with the little more “change” incorporated. Most of the Attendees were Gay and Lesbian couples with kids. This such an awesome move to just shove one more thing in the face of old closed minded, rich, white, Catholic people of the world. Good Move. I like this guy more every day.

Wow....


I just don’t what to say anymore… This is so ridiculous I am at a loss for words. I really cant believe people like this actually live in the Untied States. Now I am not referring to everyone in this video. There is one or tow that have a every valid points of view and go about expressing them in a orderly, and thought provoking manor, But the man that appears at about 2 min, and the woman Who scream “BURN THE BOOKs” are the ones that I am referring too. I am legitimately embarrassed for anyone who is at all related or have any contact with these humans. One of those comments made by the man that really got me laughing is how FOX NEWS, YES FOX NEWS is that only media channel with the right information. This is exactly why that face of the Conservative party has hit rock bottom, these are the main supporters. Come on seriously, Burn the books, and Pull your kids Out of college, this people should be thrown in jail for child abuse …… This is so scary
Word of Advice for you Conservatives grow up little, things change over time and now is your time change, expand your views, This is a new age and you better be able to EVOLVE to it, or your party will be dead in the water. (They have had some trouble with that word EVOLVE before so don’t get your hopes up)
