The Close-Minded

July 3rd 2009 17:39
Sometimes I amaze myself. Take my previous entry on one-sided me. Perhaps I just give the jest of things at times. In the end, most of the time, I become vindicated.

The science community has put out their report on close-minded individuals. It seems that people who are UNSURE of their beliefs are more close-minded!

This goes for religion, science, politics, and most things in life.

Poetic Justice II

July 2nd 2009 23:03
In a continuing saga of fate, I continue to find various twists in the outcome. Nothing is quite as funny as when an evil-doer is dealt a fate of justice.

A burglar takes a picture of himself on the victim's cellphone. Needless to say this made the cops job much easier.

Copper is being robbed in record numbers in the US. Crooks are stealing it anywhere it is found. People are actually having their plumbing and electrical supplies being robbed. Well maybe people should make a smarter choice than robbing it from an electrical power substation! You know it's bad when the victim can only be identified by his tattoos.


The best one is when a couple of burglars rob a gas station at knife point, and get caught because their get-away car runs out of gas!

Poetic Justice

July 2nd 2009 21:37
According to Answers.com, the definition of poetic justice is n.The rewarding of virtue and the punishment of vice, often in an especially appropriate or ironic manner.

So I came up with a couple in the headlines from my corner of the world.

Whether you believe in God or nature, I'm going to start with a major poetic justice event. A burglar falls asleep while robbing a church! Perhaps it was a Divine Intervention, or the missing link. Justice was served!

A city councilman who led a ban on pit bulls may see his Labrador euthanized after it bites a neighbor. Sad as that is, the councilman brought it on himself.

When I write about things and people disagree, they may say that I'm one-sided because I don't see it their way...or the way of the majority. I tend to deviate from the norm and am able to come to conclusions based on years of experience and study. In my lifetime, I have seen science change and come up with new versions of the same situations. I have studied the Bible, and known people's various interpretations of it. Like anything else you can twist the Bible and/or science to suit your argument. This basically goes for all beliefs including politics. Anybody can prove anything wrong if they try hard enough.

Here is a place where paleontology meet. What's my conclusion using both science and religion? The earth is older than 6000 years old, so Creationism, in this case, is wrong. If this is the conclusion these fundamentalists are using, they might as well just go back to their churches. It should be a Creation and Science belief that if God or nature does not give you a specific number, you can only 'guess' but more than likely you'll be wrong

Ahmadinejad has finally returned to doing what he does best. Blasting Obama and the United States. He accuses the US of interfering in Iranian affairs.

We can discuss into infinity how we have a right to voice our opinions about what we see as injustices in the world. Many times we are fed propaganda that fuels our beliefs. When I lived in Europe there were always protests against the injustices of the capitalistic United States. Yet I who lived in the US had seen the opposite of what people were being fed

Nerd Nymphs

June 26th 2009 22:29
Imagine there being a reason to date a nerd. Here are four reasons why women are attracted to nerds. This is what I call the crock, crock, crap theory!

I think this article is a crock because rarely are women attracted to nerds in their younger years. Yes there are women attracted to nerds but they are so rare that nerds have to work a thousand times as hard to find them. To the nerd, it isn't worth it

The Real Jim Jupiter

June 25th 2009 15:24
On the sitcom Married...with Children, there was an episode about a health nut named Jim Jupiter. Jim Jupiter had a TV health show and Peggy Bundy wins a contest to have Jim come to her house to get her in shape. Instead Peggy gets Jim addicted to Bon-bons and junk food and has him watching soap operas. Suddenly the once healthy Jim Jupiter dies of a heart attack on his next show!

So what is the point to this? Because I have got a real-life Jim Jupiter from Australia!

Revenge of The Handicapped

June 22nd 2009 22:15
Handicapped Parking spaces are a service that is to be used by those in need. Still there are those who park in the spaces because they feel that they won't be long and will avoid a ticket. There are also those that have fraudulent tags or aren't handicapped but possess a parking tag.

Well now there's a way to exert revenge on the law breakers. Just report them at Handicapped Fraud

Red Dye

June 20th 2009 16:52
It's a wonder in this economy how many people are turning to a life of crime. It's also how many act without having a clue of what's involved and what the consequences may be. You wonder if some are looking to get caught or may actually lack the intelligence it takes to pull off a minor crime, let alone jumping into bank robbery.

Here's a man who robs a bank, then tries to deposit red dye stained money into another bank. Of course, his chances of getting away with it were zero to none
