When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. Thomas Jefferson Amino acids: Learn them, use them. "..... The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose." -- Orison Swett Marden http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/index.htm 'Why has Secular Humanism created a more humane society than all the millennia of religious control? Why didn't any religion come up the ideal of "Human Rights"?' Because when you think you have ALL your rights, you are not motivated. The ideal of human rights is a religious phenomena. The word usage for the word 'human' was recreated in a new coherent logic of existential materialism. As science begat more positive results, it drew to its self positive regard and popularity. The new emerging human abilities and treatments fit in with the right of charity and love.

  • Would you like your country to operate like Norway?

    "Norway, which this year alone will enjoy a $44 billion budget surplus. The country has the 22nd largest proven oil reserves in the world and about 40-percent less oil is produced by that country, compared to Canada.

    On top of massive government budget surpluses, Norway also has no foreign debt, and $634 billion set aside as a public savings fund. This fund, called the Government Sovereign Wealth fund - set up to collect oil and gas revenues - is projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2020 and currently holds more than 1-percent of all the world's equity.

    To put it simply, Norway is rolling in the dough and their number one sector is oil and gas exploration, production and export.

    There are many differences between Norway and Canada that can explain why Norway is so rich and Canada so relatively poor, but there is one huge difference that stands out amongst the rest: oil royalties. Royalties are the amount a government charges oil companies for being allowed to extract and sell the country's oil."

  • Oh empathy, where is your warmth, oh 1%, does it live on in some secret place?

    'Putting these trends into dollars, households in the top 1% gained an average of $4.5 million in wealth and households in the next 4% gained an average of $1.2 million over the period. It is worth restating that those are just their gains. How does your existing wealth stack up against their gains? '

    'The percentage of Americans living in poverty hit 15.1 per cent, the highest percentage since 1993 (see below). There are now 46.2 million people living below the poverty line, the greatest number ever recorded by the Census Bureau. Child poverty stood at 22 per cent.'

    http://links.org.au/node/2598

    'Figure 2 shows the share of total income growth in each time period that was captured by the top 1% of households. Over the years 1976 to 2007, these households captured 58% of all income generated. Their share was an astounding 65% in the period 2002 to 2007. '

    Does empathy mean you are stupid?

  • Is psychosis the only reasonable basis for grievance?

    'FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is great. I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is......

    Proud to be White

    Michael Richards makes his point..............

    Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

    This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...

    Someone finally said it.. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc..

    And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK.

    But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towel head, Sand-******, Camel Jockey, Beaner, ****, or Chink .. You call me a racist.

    You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

    You have the United ***** College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.

    You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.

    You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

    You have the NAACP. You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

    If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

    If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

    We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??

    A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

    If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships.. You know we'd be racists.

    There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US . Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.

    In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

    You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists..

    You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

    I am proud.... But you call me a racist.

    Why is it that only whites can be racists??

    There is nothing improper about this e-mail.. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!

    BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!

    It's not a crime YET... but getting very close!

    It is estimated that ONLY 5% of those reaching this point in this e-mail, will pass it on. '

  • What do you think of Greg Mortensen and his two books of Afghanistan?

    Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

    Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan

    'Greg Mortenson: Today there are 78 million female children who can't go to school (120 million children in total) because of slavery, poverty, religious extremism, gender discrimination, and human trafficking. When a girl gets an education to at least a fifth-grade level, three important things happen: Infant mortality drops significantly, population explosion is curbed, and the basic quality of health improves dramatically.

    From my own perspective, the first thing that happens is that girls teach their mothers how to read and write. Boys tend to just learn for themselves. Girls immediately start teaching their mothers. It spreads like wildfire.'

  • What do you think of this proposition from a senior?

    Subject: Fwd: Send the old guys to Afghanistan!!

    Send Service Vets over 60!

    I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military.

    They've got the whole thing ***-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

    For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

    Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

    An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-*****.

    If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.

    Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling. They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any push-ups after completing basic training.

    Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

    An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

    These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way. Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.

    Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so they can read it.

  • Who's for wearing the red shirt?

    Who's for wearing the red shirt?

    Say 'Aye'.

    Red Fridays.

    Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family, it will not be long before Canada is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is 'We need your support and your prayers.'

    Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

  • Has Yahoo decided to bottle neck data transfer at Yahoo answers?

    Perhaps I am asking this question prematurely as my contacts have not asked new questions of late, but the contacts question delivery has been down for a very long time. Perhaps the data flow is too much for their memory buffers and they want more clients or advertizing data loads so they are sacrificng other services, just a theory.
