Pastafarians join ranks of those persecuted for religion
This just in, and from my neck of the woods, too! It seems that Pastafarians are the latest to be discriminated against for their religious headgear. http://www.timescolonist.com/news/b-c/pastafarian-s-icbc-woes-come-to-a-head-1.1414080 At least the colander can still be used for a delicious meal.

A conversation with a Rabbi
I'm hoping this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, but I wanted to share a correspondence I had with a Rabbi recently over Facebook. He emigrated to Israel from Canada, where I knew him personally. Me: Hey (Redacted), I just needed to say this. Inasmuch as you find yourself an ambassador to the Jews, i think your…

Tough Questions on Veteran's Day
The passing of Mr. Young just before Veteran's Day has me thinking more about this holiday than perhaps ever before. I have seen many comments, all from the heart and therefore wonderful to see. It does, however, bring some questions to my mind. Does thanking Mr. Young for his service (I take that to mean military service…

Environmental Issues Swept Under the Carpet
Here are just two of many extreme environmental issues that have been basically swept under the carpet by the anti-intellectual movement in America. These are some of the ongoing issues that are long-term and will have serious consequences for years to come: First, a four minute video of Dr. Roger Payne on the effects of…

US Sailors harassed in Turkey.
Did anyone see this nonsense ? Three sailors had shit thrown at them,they were pushed,called murderers and bags put over their heads.Then the idiot thug leader gives a little speech for the camera.The sailors did not retaliate and escalate the situation,so that was good.I think this is a staged event.

Climate pact with China
I'm not 100% up to speed on this but why is it that the announcement has barely been made that the deal is being attacked by Republicans. Is it really that bad or is it just another case of NEITHER party being able to agree on something the other party wants? God, it frustrates the hell out of me! So, Sen McConnell claims…

Fad feeding
I'm going to start a diet, just fucking make one up.. Give it some silly name, and see how it catches on. Why not? I could get rich off all the gullible people in the world!!

Israel shoots down Syrian fighter jet
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/world/middleeast/israel-syria.html I'm worried about this. Because this happened one day before Israel and Hamas were set to begin negotiations, my inner skeptic says that it could be used as a pretext somehow to bow out of the negotiations, opting instead to focus energies on "more…

Cannot believe what I saw in Seattle today
I drove around the city today and must've seen 20-30 tents & cardboard boxes, maybe more, with homeless people underneath bridges, highways, viaducts, etc. What type of country that creates mass industries, wealthy elitists and enough income to go around for all allows this to happen? One major reason- The complete and…

Legalizing Marijuana
Welcome to the circus Oregon.. That's three states now.. How long do you think it'll take to re-legalize Pot in a fully on board manner? ( because hemp used to be legal, it was even so valuable it was used as tender, with seeds being the greatest form of currency). I've noticed here in Colorado that kids are getting this…

Why women are so important for mid-term elections
For all women and men to see. And yes, a guy with a PJ shirt just happens to be in the video, thankfully EV has no qualms for supporting women across the board. It is widely known, after all, that he's a feminist. In 2013, there were more laws passed to limit women’s reproductive rights than in the entire previous DECADE.…

Holidays or not?
I've found that there are two groups of people when dealing with holidays. The first group are the ones that love being in whatever holiday spirit is allowed and love watching the kids partake in the holiday activities. And the second group are the people that think holidays such as Halloween, Easter, Valentine's day and…

Failed portable music player
Ok it's driving me crazy..what's the name of portable music player from early or mid 2000s that was basically an iPod with little discs or chips of whole albums that you could buy?
