Politics and religion seem to incite heated debates because most people have strong beliefs on the topics. In the United Kingdom, children as young as 5 will soon be taught lessons about obscure religions such as those that believe humans should be eaten by vultures. If you can't come to a compromise about creation and evolution, the next step is to point out everybody's beliefs including atheists.
Even the US Air Force Academy is adding an outdoor circle for the earth religions such as Wiccan. I'm surprised they haven't erected an altar for human sacrifices to appease the Satanists!
Sometimes you look like a louse for speaking your mind. This may be one of those moments. Nobody can deny that there is an urgent need in Haiti due to the earthquake. I know that one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but perhaps you should question a gift that comes with strings attached.
John Travolta should be commended for flying his own jetliner with relief supplies to Haiti. He also brings doctors and ministers from the Church of Scientology! One does have to question the good deeds that come with an agenda attached. Travolta continues to promote the Church???? of Scientology even after the death of his beloved son, Jett.
I can see it now, a Scientology pamphlet with a free meal. If you need painkillers or drugs, take vitamins instead and contact Tom Cruise in the morning!!!
I might not be crazy about them, but canned beer is celebrating its 75th birthday. This link, besides talking about canned beer, goes into a bit of history about beer. From its origins to the Middle Ages to the Prohibition, beer has been around for an estimated 6000 years.
I may have neglected to write about the cancer prevention element in beer. After all it is always debatable as to whether alcohol really is good for you in any amount. But it is one more study to prove that beer may have health qualities that in moderation can help against cancer
I suppose that consolidating the administration of two school districts is a good idea on the surface. It might just save the taxpayers a whole lot of dough. The school districts being 200 miles away from each other is anyone's guess as to whether it really saves money.
The Arkansas Education Board must approve the merger which was approved by both districts. Maybe Arkansas should consider the names of its cities, towns and villages. The merger is between the two districts of Weiner and Delight
Please note that this is a humorous comment and is not intended to offend.
In the past, bars have done a lot to attract the ladies to their establishments by offering them discounts on drinks. Bars don't need to attract men because the ladies and word of mouth do it all. Even if deals are given to men the ladies get better. In my bar days, there was a place that charged $5 to guys to get in. Ladies FREE. Then the guys got draft beer for one cent. Great deal except that the ladies got mixers for one cent
Home invasions seem to be on the rise. They also seem to be more violent and indiscriminate. They don't always end well and the victims are sometimes the very young.
In this home invasion an 11-year-old boy gets shot in the hip as three home invaders try to shoot their way into his mother's bedroom. To their surprise the boy had a .22 cal. rifle and fired in their direction. The mother waited to open the door and saw nobody. She did see blood, though
Just when you thought that you heard it all, along comes something that would shock most of our civilization to the point of saying that we truly are moving in the wrong direction. Imagine if foreigners were compensated to commit a crime. The key is that you have to be a foreigner and you have to spend at least a year in prison.
