Greetings to all visitors

Please allow me to welcome you to this blog in which I'll write about a well mixed variety of subjects which I'm sure will be interesting, informative and helpful to some and probably very controversial and shocking to others but I can guarantee you that I will do my best in order that they will rarely be dull or monotonous. At best you'll be surprised at what you will read and at worst you'll say to yourself that guy is an idiot, but at least I'll have succeeded in getting a reaction from you. Those opinions will be posted once a month on or closest to the first day. I wish you entertaining reading.

Newtown, Ct. December, 14th 2012

Guns kill people.

Q. Yes way ?  No way ?

A.  No way.

Who the hell am I to make such an affirmation? In my teens I’ve lived on a farm where there were two rifles (a ww1, 303 and a Winchester 30-30) and a 12 gauge shot gun that were used for hunting and to kill a cow in the fall, at butchery time. I’ll add to this that I have twenty-one years of military life behind me. This being said I feel amply qualified to treat the subject.

Are assault weapons necessary to protect your home? To anyone who answers yes I say that you’re full of shit. An assault rifle is an unnecessary toy, and a highly dangerous one, at that and should not be openly sold to anyone. The same must be said for large quantity shell magazines.

Did you ever notice that when a massacre like the one mentioned above happens, the first question that people ask is: ”What made him do that?” not: “What kind of gun did he use?” Isn’t that question a little strange coming from a person who will later blame guns? 

The real reasons for such massacres to happen are multiple and the main one is that insane people are walking the streets, which is a situation that shouldn’t exist. When a person’s brain is deranged to the point that he is declared as being crazy, that person should be taken off the street and never be let out.

As I was growing up in the 1940s and 1950s there existed insane asylums better known as “funny farms”. When a person was declared crazy, he or she was sent there and the key was thrown away. Unfortunately some retarded (not crazy) people were also sent there when they should definitively not have been. The village idiot who wasn’t crazy enough to start a house fire but not intelligent enough to put it out should have never been sent there.

 In the 1960s governments, using the excuse that it would be economical to close those institutions, did exactly that and since then you and I might have, or had, a completely insane person as a neighbor.

Since those years the unwritten law that says that an individual should always be in control of his or her emotions and be responsible for his actions has gone out the window. Anyone can get high on drugs and decide that he or she wants to kill people just for the pleasure of killing, and they do. Did you ever notice that after a massacre we’re never told if the killer had consumed drugs before doing it?

The third reason, and here many parents will recognize themselves, is the bringing up of “king children”. The child to whom you give everything and anything that he does or doesn’t ask for, just so that he’ll be quiet. The parent who acquiesces to the child’s every wish, thinking that he’s showing that child love. Showing love my ass. You’re, in fact, preparing an adult misfit. A teen or adult who will not be able, or have the tools, to deal with whatever life is going to throw at him and who, in some cases, will resort to violence thinking that it’s the only method to deal with his problems.

As a civilized society it is important that we all take our responsibilities as individuals, and as serious governments, by going to the source of the problem. Many people are killed on the roads each year but do we blame cars for it? No we go to the source of the accidents, the offending drivers, the ones who drive under the influence of liquor or drugs. It’s high time that we do the same if we want to stop such sad stories as the massacre in Newtown.

I was in the Express Lane at the store, quietly fuming. Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart and asked sweetly, 'So, which six items would you like to buy?'

Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?!

Slavery and the christian church.

The christian church was comfortable with slavery.

 Q. Yes way? No way?

 A. Yes way.

Slavery has existed for thousands of years. In fact the day that man discovered that he could forcesomeone to do his work and pay him by kicking his ass, was the day that slavery was initiated. How many thousands of years ago did that happen? I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine in this case but it hasn’t stopped since. The Greeks, the Romans, the warlords, ancient kings and emperors (dictators really) and, yes, the catholic church, in Europe and in the Americas, all “owned” some.  Even today in certain instances, in certain corners of the world it exists but at least it can nowadays be punished by law.

However, in some of the southern U.S. states, ownership of slaves was practiced on an industrial level. Plantation owners could have two or even three hundred slaves working twelve hours a day for them without any remuneration. It was impossible for a man to buy a gift for his wife or children. It was also impossible for loving parents to buy decent clothes for their children or to treat them to an ice cream cone on a warm Sunday afternoon or to take the family out on a picnic. It was totally impossible for those people to do normal activities that regular families like to do together. It was a difficult life for those people without as much as a “thank you” for all the work that they were forced to do.

But what about the christian church in all of this? Don’t you think that this church, which represents some invisible god on earth, whom all of its fervent followers believe to be loving and charitable towards human beings (his children), should have elevated its voice against the practice or fought in order to eradicate that barbaric practice?

If you convincingly answer yes to that question you’re simply crazy or you don’t understand absolutely anything to the business that is called; church. Let’s admit it churches are huge, international, tax-exempt and super-rich businesses for which money is the sole purpose for existing. And as long as rich slave owners poured some of their profits into the local church, who the hell in that business was going to complain?

This sort of connivance I, of course don’t approve of, but can easily understand, because it’s an excellent business practice. On the other hand there is something that completely baffles me. That Mickey-Mouse, man-created god who’s supposed to love and protect us all from such situations and who obviously didn’t do his job in the case of the black people was adopted with open arms by those same people once they obtained their freedom. Strangely puzzling, indeed.

New company policy.

When the wise company president learned that his employees were tanking up on no-trace vodka martinis during their lunch hours, he issued the following memo:

To all employees: If you must drink during you lunch hour, please drink whiskey. It is much better for our customers to know that you're drunk than to think that you're stupid.

China, India. (They’re both very dangerous).

We have to be careful.

 Q. Yes way? No way?

 A. Yes way.

 

A few years ago when many pets died in North America because of tainted pet food to which melamine had been added and when many babies in China died because formula milk also contained melamine, I recommended people around me not to consume any food that was made in China, for the above reasons.

But the danger doesn’t stop there. On May twenty-third 2012, a container arrived, from India, in the port of Montreal and was found to be contaminated by cobalt-60. The shipment consisted of metal kitchen utensils, metal to which cobalt-60 was mixed. Is this dangerous enough for you? Yes, disgustingly dangerous. Can you imagine preparing food in your kitchen with such utensils while contaminating your whole family? Not an interesting prospect at all.

This radio-active garbage is not only found in kitchen utensils. Some shelve units, gas engines and car parts have been found to be contaminated in the past as well. Canada isn’t the only country to receive that sort of merchandise. Some of those containers have landed in Germany and the USA, as well. The nuclear age is something of the past for some countries and their nuclear garbage is now being spread around the world. Aren’t some industrials bloody nice people? So nice in fact that you’d love to invite them for supper and blow their bloody head off.

I suppose that the countries in the Americas and Western Europe are vigilant enough to test all containers for nuclear contamination and we have, in some cases, proof that they are. But what about the unfortunate people living in third-world countries whose governments don’t give a damn about this matter?

As long as there’s a buck to be made industrial rats are ready and willing to do anything in order to make it even if it means screwing up people’s health in the process. I can only recommend to be on your guards and to restrain yourself from buying products that are made in those countries. You might live longer.

Three tourists were driving through Wales. As they were approaching Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter one asked the blonde employee, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?"

The girl leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiiiing."

Intellectual liberty. (Or the ability to think by yourself.)

 

 Intellectual liberty can be stolen.

 Q. Yes way? No way?

 A. Yes way.

What is intellectual liberty? Simply described it’s the ability and capacity of an individual to reflect on, analyze, dissect and evaluate any subject, situation or theory that is proposed to him. To add anything to this would, in my mind, be superfluous.

Intellectual liberty is a right that belongs to every human from the day of his birth but that has been and still is denied to a majority of the earth’s population by dictators, and this includes the so-called, self-proclaimed kings and emperors of the past, communistic regimes and religions, that are so dear to so many people’s heart. My goal today is to treat the religious aspect of intellectual liberty theft.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam and all the rest of those businesses, so-called religions, have done it for years, are still doing it today and will do it for years to come.

The principle isn’t complicated at all and is used by all of them. Children who have been convinced of deep and emotional beliefs through well planned and concise indoctrination and programming and in whom false fears have been instilled will, in general, continue to adhere to those beliefs and to have those fears as they continue in life as adults. When this phenomenon happens the religions inherit lifetime, willing and regular, contributors to their businesses even if they are some of the poorest people in this world. It’s sad, very sad, for a person like me to witness.

I and my young friends went through the process in our youth. It started at home with our parents and continued in the school system with the teaching nuns and brothers but in a parallel action the indoctrination was emphasized in church by the priests. Yes by some of those bastards who are today accused of pedophilic practices on children, in the past.

The business (catholic church) turned us into consenting slaves (zombies) in order to suck as much money from us as it possibly could until some of us sat back and reflected on the real purpose of religions.

I must admit, however, that their method of operation was well thought of and very well developed. To convince anyone that some invisible god, who supposedly created the world and who lives somewhere in the firmament exists is not an easy task unless you grab your subjects at a very young age. To scare them into submission without the use of torture by making them believe that, if they don’t believe their teachings, they’ll burn in “hell” for eternity is also a feat of excellent business management.

For my part that bullshit has been out of my thoughts and my life for many years now but I honestly can’t help to think about and feel sad for those poor people who are still hooked into that system and who continue to give money to those bastards even though they sometimes only have enough money to survive, let alone have a decent life.

Hopefully, someday, those blind faith believers will retake possession of their stolen intellectual liberty and be able to see religions for what they really are; businesses. To be an intellectual slave is, for almost all blind faith believers, a life sentence and life shouldn’t be a sentence but rather a passing that should be spent enjoying the many pleasures that life offers like learning about things that surround us such as science and the rest.

Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, and a K-9 unit, patrolling nearby, was the first to respond.

As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps. Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, 'I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman.

Incest in the bible (Oh my god)

We can find incest in the bible.

 Q. Yes way? No way.

 A. Yes way.

To me incest is one of the most, if not the most insidious crime that can be committed by any man, or woman. To steal the youth of your own child should be punished by the heaviest sentence that can be imagined. The person responsible for such an action should never be allowed to walk the streets again in his or her life. No child asks to be born and no child should be treated in this manner by a member of his own family. A child should always be allowed to play and to grow up in as a normal manner as can be in order to become a well balanced adult who will have a productive and fulfilled life.

In this article I’ll mention three cases of incest that are present in the bible. One of them is quite obvious and the roles are inverted. You’ll see as to what I mean. The second is also obvious but blind-faith believers don’t dare ask questions about it. They just accept it as they accept everything else in that fairytale book. The third instance is very subtle and when you analyze it closely you detect the same treachery and misguidance that are forever present from cover to cover.

Let us start with Lot and his two daughters. After the fires of Sodom and Gomorrah Lot was left alone with his two girls following the transformation of his wife into a salt pillar because she dared watch the two cities burn. In the bible it says that the daughters waited for their father to fall asleep, after drinking, in order to have sex with him because they believed that they were the only people left on hearth and wanted to continue the human race. To the women who are reading this I ask; have you ever tried to get a drunken man, let alone a dead drunk, to reach an erection good enough for penetration? It’s simply, physically, impossible. It won’t happen. No way. What’s really happened was that Lot screwed his own daughters knowing damn well as to what he was doing but as it’s so often done everywhere in the bible, blame has sadly been put on women.

As a second case I wish to ask you readers a question that many crhistians have probably asked themselves before. Who was the mother of Adam and Eve’s grand children? To any person of average intelligence, the answer jumps to our eyes, Eve, as asking the question is also answering it.  But again blind-faith believers either don’t see it or simply choose not to admit it. This case is what I call: god sponsored and christian approved incest.

The last instance that I want to treat isn’t complicated and is complicated at the same time and requires a good analytic disposition in order to properly identify it. I’ve never seen this situation treated anywhere and for many of you, believers it will become clear after it’s properly explained to you.

In the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 1, verse 20, it is said: The angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: “Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the holy ghost.”

If you’re a blind-faith believer as all Christians are, you gobble the bible explanation without blinking an eye and you don’t find the situation complicated. Where it becomes complicated to you is when you read my explanation and your head then becomes all screwed-up.

As a growing boy, at a time when my young friends and I were intelligently and skillfully being indoctrinated and programmed to become faithful and generous financial contributors to the catholic business, sorry church, I remember very well the teaching nuns in school and the priest in church telling us that the father, the son and the holy ghost, united, were but ONE GOD. Does that ring a bell inside of your head? No? It should because it means exactly what it says. It means that Jesus impregnated his own mother, simple as that. But in order to clearly understand it you must be able to deeply reflect on what I’ve just written. Unfortunately, blind faith has sadly taken away your reflecting capability. This example is also god sponsored and christian approved incest.

In other words, incest, for all of its ugliness and disgusting moral properties is present and I might add, almost recommended, in this so-called; holy book.

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replies, "That would be my wife."

Brassiere straps. Hum. (Ugly, ugly, ugly.)

Brassiere straps can ruin your looks.

 Q. Yes way? No way?

 A. Yes way.  

Most women want and work hard to look good, and why not? A woman who looks good will invariably attract looks and perhaps pleasant commentaries from the people that she will come across on the street and it’s quite all right. Without purposely wanting to charm, women, in general, feel good when they look attractive, at least I would if I were a woman.

It’s summertime here in the north (Canada) and everyone likes to wear light clothes and to take as much sun as possible. Winter is so long and cold that is a great feeling to shed those winter clothes off for summer ones and to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. I find the sensation so good that, to me, it’s like a rebirth.

It’s also the time at which girls run to the store and stock up on summer clothes. Shots, sandals, summer dresses and light tops, nothing is forgotten.

Between choosing as to what clothes that they’re going to wear and time spent in front of the mirror, making up their faces, some women easily spend one hour and perhaps more. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Once they believe that everything is in its right place, they’ll finally point their noses outside the door and let people admire them and I’m one who loves to do that. But when I see a woman in a summer dress with spaghetti type straps and I can see, underneath those, two ugly brassiere straps, my jaw simply drops. Brassiere straps is the last, but the last, thing that I wants to look at when I admire a woman and I have no reason to believe that I’m the only person to think that way, man or woman. Girls, yes you girls who have the very bad habit of doing that, for forty dollars buy a strapless brassiere and instantly improve your looks.

Am I in a bitching mood today? No, not really, I’m not but this is something that’s bothered my ass for many, many years and I simply thought that today would be a good day to let you know about my concern.

While I’m at it I’d like to recommend another suggestion about your dressing habits. I can see you telling yourself: “Boy there he goes again.” But you’re going to love me for it, I know. I know that you will. You’re all aware of that damn peace of material that tells you as to how to wash your garment and to, or not to, iron it. Well, where does the manufacturer sew it? Right at the back top of the piece of clothing that you so proudly wear and, as if by magic, it always manages to stand up and out, in view of everyone. Cut the bloody thing out with a pair of scissors. After you’ve seen it once, you never, ever, look at it anymore but, being a leg and bum man, I see it and I guaranty you, it’s ugly. This was my bitch for the day and now I feel good.

The local TV station was interviewing an eighty year old lady who was had just married for the forth time.

The interviewer asked her as to her new husband’s occupation.

“He’s a funeral director,” she answered.

He then asked her if she would mind telling the viewers a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused and with a smile on her face she proudly explained that she had first married a banker in her twenties, and then a circus ringmaster in her forties, followed by a preacher in her sixties and now, a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked as to why she had married four men of such diverse careers.

The old lady smiled and explained: “I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go.”
