More people need to be smart…

The out-sourcing of America
and this boy's and Girl's is how it starts, trust me when I say it has NOTHING to do with the IM banking loans, it all about world power and dominance in any given field of business and the money naturally follows, it's not about any country taking anything from Americans, what it really is, is corporate America making the…

4 arrested on looting charges at Lake County fire site
Pretty much everybody around these parts know someone what has been affected by the big fires burning in California. My daughter-in-law has a friend who lost their home to the Butter Fire and the mother of a friend of ours is very close to losing here to the Lake Fire. So when I read about people going in to these areas to…

Not even a mention of 9/11 !
Pretty telling that not one post or thread yesterday took time to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and the lives lost. Lots of guns,Iran,Stupid Republicans and Refugee threads.But we can't even come together for a shout out to those who were our brothers and sisters who lost lives that day.At least not on here.Sad stuff. I…

The threat of intelligent Muslim kids!
Just read this story and could only shake my head in disbelief. The poor kid should have been praised and encouraged for his enthusiasm and initiative, instead he gets embarrassed and treated like a terrorist. That teacher should be bloody ashamed of herself, a real inspiration to her students I don't think!…

Human trafficking/smuggling
So the new news is that the father of the poor child, Alan Kurdi, who washed up on the beach (we all know the photo now, right?) may have been a human smuggler himself. Apparently some woman from the boat that sank is claiming that he actually captained the boat and worked for those collecting money from the refugees on…

Inter personal relations in this age
it seems to me that the world has become enthralled with sexual pleasure to the point that there is no standard or moral practice to relations these days. Kids text or share phone #'s, and then it's on.. There's no need to know the person.. No necessity in finding things out about one another.. No perfection to the…

Does a State of Palestine have a right to exist?
Seems a pertinent question to me. If so , then should they wait for Israel to declare? Should they force the hands of the 2 countries who stand in the way? I say no to my first question and a big FUCK YES to the second. What do they have to lose at this point?

Really? Divorced three times but against gay marriage?!?!?
Just really chaps my hide that an ignorant ass can deny marriage licenses to gays after being divorced three times.. Freakin inbred. And Jindahl, Paul, Huckabee and any other presidential nominee that supports her should be removed from ballot as they will not represent fairly and haven't a clue what the constitution or…

Legalising drugs
So I was speaking to an Objectivist the other day (very interesting philosophy) who supports the legalisation of drugs. Got me thinking about it and I suppose I realised that I had never really questioned the accepted view that drugs are bad ergo those who possess, use and spread them are bad and must be punished and…

Let the rock fall!
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/05/giant-rock-could-crash-arizona-dam I definitely say, let the rock fall! To my way of thinking, trying to hold up this rock is yet another example of human being attempting to subdue nature. Stop a slab of rock from falling as erosion and gravity would have it do? I say, "No!"…
