Welcome...



No evil is there similar to anger,
No austerity to be compared with patience.
Steep yourself, therefore, in patience-
In all ways, urgently, with zeal.

Donkey Kong!!

300lbs Chimp - Foxnews

I can't stop laughing at this. 

So the story goes that a 300 lbs chimp.....yeah, not a freakin Gorilla.....a c-h-i-m-p....goes berserko and goes all "Donkey Kong" on a cop car after giving the pursuers the middle finger.......oh....and her name is Sue.  Johnny Cash would have been proud. 

I am still snickering.

5 Years and Nothing?

Nineth Ward - CNN

Can someone tell me what the hell "evironmental racism" is?  Are you 'effin kidding me? Is that kind of like "reverse racism" (you know the kind of racism that only white people can claim).  Is this a word that only black people who went through Katrina who lived in New Orleans, in the 9th Ward can use?  What about blacks in Biloxi, MS or blacks that lived in Longbeach, MS that lost everything to Katrina.  Probably not.  Someone in the 9th Ward probably trademarked it.

What about the white, asian, or indian families that lost everything?  I would be very interested in what kind of racism this would be.  I am up for suggestions.  Maybe we can start something. 

Okay, so we talked about the "racism" aspect of this article.  Let's move to my next favorite......"Get off your ass and do something about it" part. 

I am soooooo sick and tired of hearing about New Orleans this, New Orleans that and Katrina.  You do understand that there were places as far north as Poplarville, MS, Baton Rouge, LA and Mobile, AL that got hit with damages from Katrina, right?  Or, how about Longbeach/Diamondhead, MS?  It was wiped off the face of the planet.  Oh, but poor, poor New Orleans and the inability to help themselves.  The day after Katrina, the people of MS spent more time rebuilding than complaining.  Funding?  I don't know a whole lot about that....however I do know that if you clean it up and you mow it and you take care of your own neighborhood and NOT expect that the government/cities PAY you to do all this, or didn't have the mentality that it's the cities job to take care of it, maybe, just maybe I would feel a bit sorry for you. 

This problem has absolutely nothing to do with whatever flavor of racism you feel like tasting today.  If you want to see change, make your own move.  Don't wait for others to do it for you.

Free Speech vs. A Parents Pain

Free Speech vs. Privacy and Pain at Supreme Court - CNN

When I first heard of this story a couple of years ago, I can remember distinctly shaking my head and wondering how in the world can someone, a preacher of all people, or even someone who can call themselves this or an American, can even tie sexuality to our troops dying at war.

This case has been worked through the court system and now is at the highest in the land. 

The Westboro Baptist Church states it has freedom of speech.  The parents/family say the church has caused undue emotional distress and infringed on privacy.

Down and dirt of it.....who in the hell do these extremists think they are?  Where in the world would a man who can honestly read the book of God and consider himself a man of the cloth get this idea?  Please someone enlighten me.  I want someone to point it out to me in the the black and white of the bible and show me where it says that my troops are dying because there are gay men and women living and breathing among us all.  Give me just one.  Make me eat the words right now and I will STFU.  I have found nothing of the sort, so I am calling a bluff.  Show me preacher man.  If this sounds a little confrontational, it should.  You are telling me my friends, my family are dying because of something you created in your little head.  So you go and protest at their funeral no doubt.  Chickenshit is what it is.  Try protesting to live ones. 

I wonder if this is all a rouse because maybe the preacher has homosexual tendencies and is flogging himself everynite and preaches against it everyday and needs to blame someone.  I bet.

I have said it before, this is NOT considered freedom of speech.  There is only so much you can do or say before you make a mockery of this amendment. 

To the parents of the fallen and the current soldiers.  Bless you.  Thank you for your support and neverending love.  It really doesn't go unoticed.  If you think that these extremists may come (or not and just need support) to a funeral of your fallen loved ones, call these ladies and gents first and they will be your first and last line of defense....... http://www.patriotguard.org/ ............

To the Westboro Baptist Church.....kharma is a bitch.

Burning Religion 6.0

Uuuggggghhhhh!  I can't get away from this religious nonsense!  But, I like to talk about it......nonetheless.

Female Priests - CNN

I thought that I had seen it all. 

I was not aware of this.....this....heathenistic (is this even a word?  If not, I made up a new word!) thinking even in the Catholic Church. 

*Buahahahahahahahahaaaaaa*  I am now laughing at myself for being so naive.  *facepalm*

So, if you are a woman, and you want to be a priest in the catholic faith, you are um.....basically screwed.  The Vatican (you know, the same people who moved pedo priests around) has spoken!  They have deemed you unfit to lead your sheep to the heavens!  You have the wrong plumbing for this work good woman!  How dare you step out of the kitchen and want to serve your God!

Holy shit.  I am so glad that religion is not based on the people who teach it. 

Wait......what?

The Vatican is just pissed because over the last couple of hundred years, the church has had to slowly released it's grip on local governments.  Wow, that must mean that they really hate America.  You know with all the religion shall not mix with government thing.  Hmmmm.  Come to think of it, after the whole pedo scandal, I seem to recall that your church has been hurting for people to join.

BTW:  Prove to me where in the Bible that is says--"Women are not to allowed to be Priests."  Not a damn Doctrine that a bunch of priests and the Pope had a meeting on and created.  I am talking in the Bible.  Isn't this considered the word of God?  The word of the Lord?  I found one such example that proves my point......Proverbs 31--"She's not a timid, house-bound woman, but an active and engaged believer in God."  But, I suppose it's all based on paid interpetation and grossly owned positions by men.

I smell Reformation.

Factors of Suicide

Rutgers Student - CNN

*shaking my head*  I can't get this outta my head.  There are too many damn emotions with this situation.  Suicide, privacy (or lack thereof), social networking and the possibility of pre-existing emotional problems. 

Let's begin with Lack of Privacy.  Yep.  With capitals and all.  So your dorm mate tapes you making out with someone.  With someone of the same sex no doubt.  Via webcam.  He thinks it's funny.  Records it for all the world to see.  Because college life is one big joke.  Doesn't even stop to think how this just might affect the person being taped. 

Not. Once.

No one knows he had homosexual tendencies.  That will change.  Soon.  If they didn't see the broadcast, they will soon see.  Social networking can be used for the evils.  This is a classic case.  She knows him, he knows this other guy through a brother's friend's mother and so on. 

It's all too much.  What does he do now?  He is completely humiliated.  Well, this kid jumped off a bridge.  Literally.  He updated his social network and jumped. 

What.  The.  Hell.

Okay, first, suicide is not a joke. 

I believe that suicidal people truly feel that there are no other options.  Nothing can stop whatever they are feeling.  Nothing can stop the pain.  Nothing can ever help the problem.  But let me tell you this, there are symptoms, if you want, that lead up to this point in someone's life that they come to a head.  There is no way out and you can only see black.  I bet you that this kid only saw black.  He was humiliated.  He was destroyed, if you will.  His roommate saw to that.  I think his roommate was the trigger finger to the gun. 

However, I do not think that this was all that was happening in this kids life.  There usually isn't just one instance that pushes someone over the edge.  This was just the topping on the cake.  The final factor. 

I am not condoning suicide in the least bit.  I am presenting the case for it.  I can see both sides of suicide.  I had thoughts when I was a teen and I also have lost someone I loved dearly to it.  Both sides suck. 

Personally, the roommate should be ashamed of himself for putting this kid on the edge like this.  I am not saying that he murdered him, but as I said before, he surely helped.
