Say what you mean, mean what you say

The right words should be used.

Q. Yes way? No way?

A. Yes way.

The English language is well thought of as are other languages used around the world. Words are initially developed to mean one thing, action or situation. As times goes on other definitions are added to a word by language experts and are eventually included in the dictionary and that’s quite all right as long as the new definition doesn’t infringe on the initial one. At other times additional definitions to a word are decided by journalists, radio and television news readers and other people and that’s where I definitely object, in some cases, because the definition just doesn’t match the word.


The following is an explanation of what I feel that, sometimes, certain words are very badly used to qualify certain things, actions and situations.


The first word that I want to deal with is: star. Initially this word was created to define a brilliant object in the sky that can be seen at night. At one time the word became used to describe a person who delivered brilliant performances in such fields as stage, television or film acting, in sports and other fields. In most cases those people who are called “Stars” have either gone through many years of study or/and many years of practice and hard work and ounce they’ve been recognized by their peers or the public and have received recognition of some sort for their efforts, they deserve to be and should be called “Stars”.

Where I object is when a person who participates in the action of pornographic films is referred to as, being a star. I personally have nothing against such films but I don’t consider that those people accomplish any brilliant performances and therefore no one has any business to call them “Stars”.


The word “hero” is one that can be used in order to qualify a certain sort of people that you can’t find by knocking on just any door. A “Hero” is a person who makes the instant decision to help and to sometimes save the life of someone who is in a situation of peril. When a person takes such a decision, rarely does he or she take the time to analyze and even less think of the dangers that he or she could be facing should the situation become complicated and I’m proud to take my hat off to them.While there are only few people who can be called “Heros”, there are, nevertheless, a lot who are potential ones and who wouldn’t, if the occasion arose, hesitate to risk their own lives in a similar situation.


What burns my ass however is when I sometimes hear someone call a rock performer or an athlete or an actor/actress “my hero” and, I’m sad to say, some radio and television sportscasters are sadly, very guilty of doing it. I just can’t take that. What can I say? It’s me and I’m not one to screw around with my feelings and beliefs.


For anything to be called: ”super” it has to be extraordinarily big, good, efficient or whatever it is, it’s supposed to be but when I hear television news readers or others refer to a clothes model as “Super model” it does bother me very much. What do those women do in fact? They walk in front of people, wearing a dress, a coat or a bathing suit. So what? Billions of women around the world do exactly the same thing every day of the year on city streets, at the office and on beaches but they’re not called “Super models”, or Super whatever because of it. So please, all of you people who use that term, drop it from your vocabulary. It’s just not appropriate. A clothes model is a clothes model, period. There’re no women who deserve to be called: “Super model”.

LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE

This should give you a chuckle!!!!! smart little girl!!!


A member of Congress was seated next to a little girl

on an airplane so he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk?

Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."



The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,

"What would you want to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the congressman. "How about global warming, universal health care, or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly.

"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass.

Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a

flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"



The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says,

"Hmmm, I have no idea."


To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, universal health care, or the economy, when you don't know shit?"


And then she smiled and went back to reading her book.

Surface water acidification. (...and air pollution as well.)

Surface water acidification can be prevented.

Q. Yes way? No way?

A. Yes way.

It’s funny how sometimes your mind isn’t programmed to register what’s presented in front your eyes. Like most people I had seen television reports and read articles on the evil of factory smoke stacks and their negative and destructive effect on clean air and water but they had only managed to make me aware of the situation rather than to make me concerned about the negative results that they generate on nature around us, our nature. I must however admit that air pollution paints a very abstract picture that, for many of us, can’t be caught on the first throw. If it were colored black, dark green or bright red, I’m convinced that the majority of the population would have readily noticed it and would have immediately been concerned about it, as you’ll be able to realize a little further. In my case, grey was the awakening color.


The smoke emitted from factories isn’t, of course, the only factor that contributes to air pollution although it’s easily identifiable as one of the culprits and besides that it’s one of the main contributors responsible for the acidification and eventual killing of our beautiful lakes and, in some years, of our oceans. Carbon dioxide found in the smoke plus rain water = carbonic acid (acid rain).


On a warm and sunny summer afternoon, last year, I was driving on a country road towards a highway. Nearing my goal I noticed a factory located at the crossroads and stopped the car on the side of the road for a few minutes.


The reason that made me stop was the amount of smoke coming out of the smoke stack adjacent to the factory, it fascinated me. The structure must have measured one hundred or one hundred and ten feet and a fair estimate of the size of its mouth, from where I was, could be around five feet in diameter. Very thick grey smoke was shot in the air at a rapid rate of speed and at about five or six feet above it, was blown to one side by a strong wind, in the direction of a major size city located perhaps five miles down the road.


On that day air pollution ceased to be an abstraction for me because the spectacle that was unfolding in front of my eyes was the pure and harsh reality of it and it also has an identifiable color for me now, grey. I also thought of the millions of similar situations happening all around the world every day and I finally realized as to how enormous the problem really is. I then recalled the television images that I had seen and couldn’t help but think that the real image is worth one thousand television representations of the situation.


After a while I turner my head to the left side of the road where I noticed a farm and all its buildings, including two circular grain silos attached to a well painted large barn. At that moment a flash hit me as it sometimes happens, perhaps ounce and rarely twice in a person’s life, the type of flash that you just can’t ignore.


In my imagination I moved the smoke stack away from its base and replaced it with one of the silos, increased its diameter and its height, installed a water sprinkler system on its ceiling and directed the smoke from the factory furnace into it. Bingo, problem solved.


At this point some of you are wondering: why has this crazy blogger installed water sprinklers on the ceiling and I’ll gladly explain. Many of us live next to a large city and we’ve often looked at it on a sunny summer morning only to notice that there was a grey smog cloud sitting right on top of it. Later in the day clouds moved over it and there was a rain shower. After the clouds had gone away and the sun had come back, the smog cloud was gone. Where did it go? It went on top of the buildings and houses, on the streets, the grass areas, the trees and, whatever else you find in a city. That’s where it went. Hence, the sprinkler system would eliminate part of the air and water pollution problem at the source and what’s encouraging about the idea is that the conversion from smoke stack to silo wouldn’t cost companies a fortune.


I’ve chosen a farm type silo as an example but it could as well be a square or rectangular building varying in size in accordance with the amount of smoke that is spewed by different size furnaces and what’s also nice about this type of operation is that the water at the bottom of the silo can be reused again and again. If desired, of course, acid in the water and gases that might not have been brought down by the water and are floating in the air, in the silo, can be destroyed but I’ll let chemists deal with that, because a chemist I’m not.


I feel that it’s very important to deal with air pollution and the death of our lakes and eventually our oceans now if we love our children and want to leave them with a planet that they can enjoy as much as we do, in our lifetime. I realize that factory smoke isn’t the only air polluting factor but it could easily be the first positive action taken in order to accomplish our goal of having clean air and to prevent the eventual death of our lakes and oceans by acid rain.


If you’re concerned as I am and honestly think that this solution makes sense, now is the time to write or talk to your elected government representative and to rattle his/her cage a little, if you have to, so that he or she takes the proper action in other to head in the right direction. Your children will thank and love you for having taken this decision. Good luck to all of us.

1- Never walk past a toilet without stopping.

2- Never overlook an erection, and

Mass murderers. God is greatly qualified for number one.

Mass murderers are obsessed with killing.

Q. Yes way? No way?

A. Yes way.

Did you ever ask yourself as to what it is that drives a person to become a mass murderer? I have, many times, and the only realistic and satisfying conclusion that I’ve been able to come up with is the love of, and passion for killing, without necessarily displaying any feelings of animosity or hate towards the victims. How can a mass murderer hate a person that he doesn’t even know and who has done nothing to him that could result in such an action? In most cases hate is used as an excuse but the deep, basic elements remain, love and passion for killing.

As we are all born without feelings, we seemingly develop a variety of them as we grow up. For some it can only be a liking, for others a love and for others it becomes a passion, which in fact, is one small step from love, the line between both being very thin. In some cases a person’s energy is directed towards learning, research, love, sex, money, gambling or others and sadly, some opt for killing human beings.

Through history and not legend we have learned of their names and of estimates as opposed to true amounts of the number of their unfortunate victims. The true numbers would surely turn out to be higher that the estimate in every case because anyone whom, at one point in his life, takes the sad decision to kill people in industrial quantities, looses count of the amount.

As sensible, well adjusted, and life loving human beings the thought of taking this course of action at one point in our lives would never cross the mind of most of us but, as in anything in life, there’s always the element of exception which I try to show you in this article by listing the following realities.

The facts that you’ll read next come from an extract from an unpublished manuscript called: “The legend of Jesus “, © 2008 by Jean-Paul Gosselin. In the list you’ll realize that mass murderers can be anybody and come from anywhere.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Joseph Stalin.

During his reign of terror as dictator of Russia and of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin has enjoyed destroying life and killing people.

Russian writer Vadim Erlikman for example makes the following estimates:

Executions: 1,500,000

Gulags : 5,000,000

Deportations: 1,700,000 (dead during deportations, for lack of food) and,

German POWs and civilians: 1,000,000. Added to the preceding figures we must not forget the genocide of six to eight million, and possibly more, victims of the 1932-1933 Holodomor in the Ukraine. ( Holodomor meaning murder by starvation.)

Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler was another monster for whom killing was a passion and who was only surpassed by Stalin because his life was shortened by suicide after his defeat at the hands of the allied forces.

His concept of racial hygiene or purification led to the planning of the Holocaust where people of the Jewish faith, non-Jewish Poles, communists, members of resistance groups, homosexuals, the physically and mentally handicapped, Soviet prisoners of war, groups of people in cities and villages of German occupied countries and others were coldly and systematically executed using various methods of death application.

Idi Amin Dada.

After the granting of independence by their colonizing European countries some African states became open torture and death chambers. Uganda was sadly one of those countries where under the guide of dictator, Idi Amin Dada, 500,000 people including, soldiers, members of ethnic groups, religious leaders, journalists, lawyers, intellectuals and in some cases entire village populations were killed simply because they didn’t think in the same manner as he did.

Pol Pot.

Pol Pot of Cambodia has killed an estimated 2,000,000 of his compatriots during a four year period in the mid-seventies.

Saddam Hussein.

Saddam Hussein of Iraq was hanged for the massacre of one hundred and forty eight Shiites but before being stopped he succeeded in eliminating 180,000 people including an attack using mustard gas on Kurdish villages in the northern part of the country.

Radovan Karadzic.

Recently apprehended Serbian, Radovan Karadzic, is accused of executing, with rifle bullets, eight thousand Bosnian residents in July of nineteen ninety five.

Omar Al-Bashir.

A few days before the arrest of Karadzic, a warrant was issued by the World Penal Tribunal for the apprehension of president, Omar Al-Bashir, president of the Soudan who is accused of genocide in the Darfour region of that country.

Osama Ben Ladden.

For the next maniac in line we have Osama Ben Ladden and his merry murderers who already have quite a number of killings to their credit worldwide and, given time, the son of a bitch will manage to destroy many more lives.

God.

Every well-indoctrinated and well-programmed Christian knows that the god of the bible is the creator of the planet earth and of all its elements and proof is shown in the story that he can control them as he wishes. It is also said that he has complete control over sickness and diseases and there again certification is clearly given.

That god has however misused those elements and diseases to burn thousands to death in the fires of Sodom and Gomorrah and to drown millions in the flooding of the earth and, every year for the last two thousand years, he has damned this planet and its inhabitants for completely unknown and totally unexplained reasons.

to tell you of only a few of the recorded instances of destructive natural cataclysms which are recognized by concerned businesses such as insurance companies and Christian churches as being: “acts of god” (the insurance companies bluntly call them “acts of god” while the Christian churches’ priests or ministers use a more subtle expression and say: “god acts in mysterious ways”). Hum? And he keeps on killing.

Is the god of the bible the father of all mass murderers?

It’s for you to judge Pauline.

Take this with you.

A woman goes to the plastic surgeon and asks as to how much it would cost to have chest implants.“Eight thousand dollars” is the doctor’s answer.

“I really can’t afford such an amount. Is there an alternative to surgery?” she asks.

The doctor says:” You can always try to rub your boobs with toilet paper”

“Toilet paper, are you trying to laugh at me doctor?”

“Absolutely not, look what it did to your butt”

HAPPY NEW YEAR!----PROSPERO ANO NUEVO!----BONNE ANNEE!

Open the window

We all want our house to smell good.

Q. Yes way. No way.

A. Yes way.

The above statement is quite true but the final result shouldn’t be reached to the detriment of the eventual degradation of your health or that of your children’s. There isn’t a day that goes by during which we can view at least one television commercial promoting the advantages of using some spray or other apparatus of synthetic sent distribution that is supposed to make our home smell good. More often than should be the viewers of that sort of advertizing are people who have never lived at a time during which those products didn’t exist and who don’t stop to think and realize that the suggested products are chemicals that shouldn’t be allowed to cross the entrance to their house. Don’t think either that those products aren’t used by older people who should know better. In too many cases they are indeed.


You’ve probably never thought of it this way but your skin can be compared to a fisherman’s net, the thousands of pores on it are similar to the holes found in the net. Whenever you spray a chemically produced, so-called, air-refresher in order to change the smell in your house, the particles contained in it are very light and will float in the air for quite some time. First of all you and your children will invariably breathe them and once in your lungs it’s child play for them to go into your blood streams. Further more the particles will fall onto your skin, infiltrate the pores and it’s going to be the same destination for them, your blood streams. It’s also going to fall on whatever food is exposed like fruits in a bowl and will fall on the kitchen counter, furniture and the floors, leaving a film of chemicals that you and your children will eventually touch. After touching them the chemicals will follow the same and only trajectory that they can. Every time that you use one of those products instead of opening the window you INVARIABLY, SERIOUSLY and SEVERELY POLLUTE the air in your home. What’s ironic about this situation is that some people, who would strongly refuse to breathe second hand cigarette smoke, think nothing of using those products. Unbelievably true a woman, whom I know, even told me that she sprays Febreeze between the sheets in her bed. Are you starting to get the idea of what I’m trying instill in your mind? I think so. NO CHEMICALS IN MY HOUSE. MY HEALTH AND THAT OF MY CHILDREN ARE FAR TOO IMPORTANT. The preceding should definitely become your motto for life.


Back in two thousand-six there was a study done somewhere in the U.S.A. and about which I’ve unfortunately lost the results. The study involved ten so called air fresheners of different models including plug-ins, slow release type and, if my memory is good, scented candles which are all made with chemical products. Of the ten, I clearly remember, that two contained Formaldehyde. I’ve included a short text in this article but if you want to learn more about it, google the name and you’ll have all the desired information.

• Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products (see Question 1).

• Formaldehyde sources in the home include pressed-wood products, cigarette smoke, and fuel-burning appliances (see Question 2).

• When exposed to formaldehyde, some individuals may experience various short-term effects (see Question 3).

• Formaldehyde has been classified as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (see Question 4).

• Research studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have suggested an association between formaldehyde exposure and several cancers, including nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia (see Question 5).


It’s very easy and less expensive to open your window when you wish refresh the air in your home and also much less damaging to your health and that of your children.


Now I’m going to suggest that you close your windows. I can read your thoughts right now like: can’t that guy make up his mind? Or is he trying to drive us nuts? It’s neither one but someday I might enjoy trying to drive you nuts, ha, ha. No I wouldn’t seriously think of doing something like that to you.


This part of my blog is particularly directed to people who live in farming communities. During my teenage years I’ve lived on a farm during a period that lasted between two and three years. What I’ve observed there deranged me a little even at that young age. Every time that a farmer spread chemical fertilizer I couldn’t help but notice that a cloud of white powder formed at the back of the spreader and that it was carried by the wind for some distance and if there was a house in its trajectory, part of that cloud would invariably land inside of I, if the windows and door were open. It would land on everything in that house including; furniture, floors and food, adults and children who were present in it. I sometimes wondered through the years if people were ever affected by it until I read an article written by a doctor who mentioned that children from farming areas, at times, came to the hospital where he worked with weird diseases. Need I say more?


My next concern has to do with bath and tile cleaners. The makers of VIM have presently a commercial on television in which it’s claimed that it leaves an invisible shield on surfaces, making them easier to upkeep. Another commercial, this one by the makers of Scrubbing Bubbles, says that the famous bubbles keep on cleaning for four days after you’ve used the product. LOVELY, just bloody, LOVELY that is. This means that the next time that you’ll bathe or that you’ll give your young child a bath in the tub, you’ll both be cleaning your bodies in a soup made of chemicals. Can’t you just wait to be and feel chemically clean? Isn’t this a great prospect for your future health and that of your children? I’m not so sure my friends.


One more point and I promise that this is the last one. It has to do with an ad by the makers of Lysol who are pushing some sort of hand soap for children, claiming that it kills all bacteria. Don’t be fooled! By watching their ads directed towards children, in the past, I know very well that that company just doesn’t give a damn about them. What’s important to them is the bottom line on their profit sheet. Any regular, non chemical, hand soap will do the trick as far as you and your children are concerned. It’s quite simple.


I lied. Your favorite blogger has lied to you. Hang him from the highest tree people. THIS is the very LAST item that I want to talk about today and it has to do with the chemical spraying of lawns. For obvious reasons don’t do it, please don’t. Your kids will be healthier someday because you took the right decision.


Why am I writing on this subject this month? You might wonder. I have in front of me the report of a study that was conducted on the umbilical cords of ten babies by the Environmental Working Group located in the U.S.A. Those babies were born between the months of August and September of tow thousand-four and the results indicated that their bodies, at birth, contained two hundred and eighty-seven (287) different chemical products, one hundred and eighty (180) of them being carcinogen agents in both humans and animals. Two hundred and seven-teen (217) are toxic on the brain and the nervous system and two hundred and eight (208) cause malformations in animals.


All of this to say that the little bundle of love that you gave birth to a week, a month or a year ago isn’t really a bundle of love. It’s rather a bundle of chemicals wrapped up in a baby skin and is the direct result of the bad habits described above plus the abuse in the consumption of chemical medications. I rest my case.

MERRY CHRISTMAS------FELIZ NAVIDAD-----JOYEUX NOEL

Prostitution 101. It's about time we protect women.

Prostitution should be legalized

Q. Yes way. A. No way.

A. Yes way.

When no written record exists about an event that’s happened in the past, there’s then a complete absence of history. Some people will content themselves to trust a legend of the happening but in this case you can’t find either one.


One day someone said that prostitution is the oldest trade in the history of man but I have my doubts on that statement. Surely home building must have come before but it doesn’t really matter. However one thing is sure in my mind. Some day, some guy must have offered a woman a chicken or a goat skin if she accepted to have sex with him and she did. ‘Bingo’ prostitution was born. It’s my guess that, after word got around, that woman became the biggest egg retailer at the village market. Or did it start when some caveman offered the woman in the next cave his freshly caught rabbit if she had sex with him, making the above statement true. I don’t know and don’t really care but the fact remains that prostitution is a serious problem today in our towns and cities.


On the serious side prostitution renders a needed service to certain members of the human kind and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. What is very improper and in my view, immoral to a certain point, is when this sort of business is conducted on the street. My objection to street prostitution is three folds. Fist and foremost our children are too precious to us that we can continue to allow the proper authorities to tolerate such practices. There’s an age to learn about everything in life and seven or eight years old is definitely not the age for our children to be witnesses to sexual acts taking place in the neighborhood public park.


My second concern with this practice concerns the violence done to women by unscrupulous pimps who, for no reason, beat them up and fill them up with drugs, supposedly for their own good. Those bastards are sometimes caught and given a small fine or a short jail term and are soon back on the street ready to abuse women again. It really burns my ass to realize how the justice system treats those guys so well. On the other hand my blog wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t talk about the “Johns“ who, sometimes, beat or aggress those women in one way or another. As an example one man in Vancouver, Canada was recently condemned to life imprisonment for killing forty-nine (you read right) of those women. The son of a bitch said that he wanted to get to fifty before he stopped.


The third reason as to why prostitution shouldn’t be carried out and even less tolerated on the streets is the devaluation of property in the areas where it’s practiced. People have paid good money for homes in neighborhoods where they thought that they could live safely and peacefully and their dream shouldn’t be allowed to vanish so easily and carelessly.


What my suggestion is in answer to this grave problem is that municipal governments should be involved in making the rules and supervising brothels with wide hallways in which you would find rooms on each side with large ( Amsterdam red light district style ) windows in front of which the woman could sit and be seen. If a guy likes her looks, he goes in, they negotiate and if they come to an understanding, she pulls the curtains shut and does what has to be done. Those hallways should also be patrolled by security guards to ascertain that no drug commerce or violence happens. The establishment would have to be inspected by government inspectors in the same manner as restaurants are inspected. In that sort of an establishment the women would have to pay rent for the rooms, would also pay income taxes on their income and be medically examined on a monthly basis at their own expense. It’s also more than likely that we could eliminate pimps, as well, with such a system. Simple isn’t it?


Do you find the suggestion unrealistic? I don’t as long as whatever sexual trade that is conducted on the street after the installation of such brothels is duly and properly punished in a way that anyone would think twice before doing it. We’ve tried everything else in the past and nothing has worked so far.


My next comment is addressed to the puritans of this great world of ours. Please get it in your head, ounce and for all, that prostitution has existed for thousands of years before you were born and that it’ll still be around thousands of years after you’ve gone. Instead of fighting it simply admit that it’s impossible to eliminate and try to find a serious, sensible and constructive solution to the problem of children being exposed to it and of women being aggressed because of it. Don’t be a sheep and endorse whatever it is that some priest or church minister tells you should be done about fighting prostitution. Have a backbone and fight along with others for transferring it from the sight of our children to somewhere where they won’t be exposed to it and where women will be protected from violence. Talk to the politicians that you’ve elected, they owe you a lot for your vote and the amount of taxes that they burden you with and if they don’t respond to your request, shake their cage a little. After all they went into politics on their own. You didn’t force them.

Take this with you.

The guy joins the foreign legion and after six months in the desert, without having sex, asked his sergeant as to what he does for sex.

The answer came quickly. “I use the camel over there.”

The guy didn’t think much of the idea but after another six months he built a small ladder, climbed behind the camel and started to go at it when his sergeant walked by and said to him: “Don’t kill it son, I need it to go see the girls in the village.”

Jesus didn't look like that. You've really been fooled.

Jesus looked as the Christian church presents him.

Q. Yes way? No way?

A. No way.

If I asked one thousand, one million or one hundred million Christians to describe the way that Jesus looked when he was supposedly alive I would surely have the same answer from everyone; brown hair, blue eyes, brown beard and those people would be right in their mind but completely wrong in the reality of life. Who could blame them? The only description that they’ve ever been given of a living Jesus, all of their life, has come from one of their church salespersons (priests or ministers) who are there to insure that followers believe what they want them to believe in order to collect as much money as they can from every single one of them.

Hi! If you’re reading this blog it’s surely because the title caught your eye and that you’re curious enough to find out as to what I have to say on the subject. Before I go any further, I feel that I must first congratulate you for being curious because curious people learn more things than their non-curious counterparts and I sincerely hope that you’ll be happy to go to sleep tonight with a little more knowledge.

It doesn’t really matter that you’re a practicing Christian or a convert to atheism, I’m sure that after you’ve finished reading this blog, you’ll never see Jesus in the same way that you’ve ever done before and that you’ll ask yourself questions as to why you were lied to by priests or ministers for so many years.

Next to the curiosity in your mind you must surely think that a guy like me, who’s going against such popular beliefs, mustn’t have all of his marbles. Well it’s that I’ve learned in the past that if you repeat something often enough, long enough and on a constant basis, you’ll eventually have some people who will believe you, no matter what it is that you say. As an example there’s a group of people in the U.S.A. that, after being told so many times that the moon landing of July nineteen sixty-nine by U.S. astronauts is a hoax, actually believes it is so. There’s another group in the same country that believes that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the two NYC World Trade Center towers along with the one on the Pentagon building in Arlington County, Virginia were an inside job. Those people have also been told this many times and believe what they’ve been told. That’s how successful publicity on television, radio and in paper form works, repetition, repetition, repetition, a method that was picked-up, in the past, by advertisers from studying the Christian churches’ methods of operation.

I now invite you to read the following which is an extract from an unpublished manuscript called: “The legend of Jesus “, © 2008 by Jean-Paul Gosselin. Read it carefully and take time to reflect on it. You’ll soon realize that what you’ve read isn’t so crazy after all. Enjoy!

----------------------

The businessmen who started the mind dominating, very lucrative, tax-exempt business called the catholic (Christian) religion in Europe were amazing marketing geniuses for their time and “attractive packaging” was one of their most impressive realization.

In the bible, written by and for the catholic (Christian) church, we are told that Jesus was born in Palestine. The people born there are Arabs and physical characteristics of Arab men born in non-mixed families (I’m sure that there were no mixed families in the small, backward village of Nazareth at the time when Jesus was supposedly conceived) are that they all have BLACK hair, BLACK eyes and BLACK beards. Have you ever seen a painting or statue of any biblical figure (including Jesus) represented by that church, bearing those features? No.

Instead all of them display brown hair, brown or blue eyes and, in the case of men, brown beards and all of them (take a good look at them) are represented as being so damn good looking (Hollywood style ) that you can’t see a crooked nose or a crossed eye on any of them. Hum.

Had Leonardo, a man who had a mind of his own, spent time in Palestine I can guaranty you that his painting of the last supper would look much different from what it actually does.

Do you suppose that they did that in order to have an easier time selling their story and developing their business in Europe?

It’s for you to judge Pauline.

Take this with you.

The man and his wife go to see the chief instructor at the ski resort for another lesson and ask him if they can have the same instructor that they had the previous weekend.

“ What’s his name? “ he asked.

“ We can’t remember?”

“What does he look like?”

“We can’t remember that either but we do remember that he had two assholes” said the woman.

“Two assholes, hey. How so?”

“Well”, said the man. “When we were coming down the slope with him last Saturday, a fellow instructor asked him: How are you doing with your two ass holes?”

You catch the fish, you kill the fish. Stop the cruelty against animals.

The fish should be killed ounce caught.

Q. Yes way? No way?

A. Yes way.

Besides those who regularly go fishing for food, most of us have probably watched at least one television program on fishing in our life. Most of those programs are defined by so-called experts as being: “Sport fishing programs.” Sport fishing my ass, that sort of fishing should legitimately be called cruelty fishing.

To spend a few hours or even a whole day fishing in order to feed the family is quite a legitimate operation for any man or woman to do and, honestly, I take my hat off to those who have the patience and determination to do it. I say this because I don’t think that I could do that myself. If I were near starvation or liked fish very much however I, without any doubt in my mind, would be out there with a fishing pole in my hands trying my luck like many others.

To get back to the “ sport fishing programs” I’m surprised and even amazed to see the guys, in their small boats, enjoying themselves so much without giving a dam about the suffering that they cause to the fish whenever they decide to put it back into the water and let it live.

Hey guys, it’s not because the fish can’t emit sounds that your action of getting your damn hook out of its jaw doesn’t hurt it. Taking that hook out of its jaw, besides hurting like hell, leaves an ulcer, a gaping hole in it, a wound that will be untreated and probably take a few weeks to heal if no infection develops. Otherwise the wound could take a few months to completely disappear, if the infection doesn’t kill it first.

You know what? I’m going to suggest to you, sport fishermen, that you take one of your fish hooks and pass it all the way through your cheek. Now take that same hook out of your cheek by pulling and yanking in the same manner that you do with the fish.

You haven’t lost consciousness yet? I can see that your eyes are filled with tears and that you’re swearing your head off because of the excruciating pain that you’re causing your body. Still having fun? I don’t think so. However that’s exactly what you’re putting the fish through every time that you decide to let it live, with the exception that its eyes aren’t filled with tears and that you don’t hear it swear. But I’m quite convinced that if that fish could bite your ass, there would be a very big piece missing by the time it’s finished, and I couldn’t blame it.

I suppose that some of you can be excused because you’ve surely never thought of this situation in the way that I’ve just presented it to you so the next time, be nice to the fish. If you catch it, kill it!

Deep down inside of me I’m honestly surprised that the society for prevention of cruelty to animals or some organization for animal rights have never deemed it justified to try to stop this barbaric practice and to fine the offenders. Maybe some day those guys will wake up and correct a situation that badly needs to be corrected.

Follow up. After I published this blog on September 1^st I sent a copy of it to animal protection organizations such as: PETA, Animal welfare institute, Animal concerns .org and eight different units of the SPCA and guess what. I received an answer from PETA that told me that I’m on my own on this. Another one from SPCAInternationnal asked for money in order to help bring dogs to the U.S.A. from Iraq and that’s it. I suppose that if it doesn’t concern a cute kitten or puppy, those organizations (partly supported by our donations ) just don’t give a damn as to the suffering that thousands of fish go through each year. Remind me not to give those organisations any more money in the future. Thanks to those who have read this blog and have informed their local animal caring organization.

I've also recieved an answer from the RoyalS.P.C.A. to which I had e-mailed a copy of the above article and I absolutely had to post their answer which is as follows: Thank you for your email and copy of your recent 'blog' content on the subject of angling.
We can confirm that the RSPCA believes that current practices in angling involve the infliction of pain and suffering on fish. You may or may not be aware that the Medway report and the report 'Pain and stress in fish' by Dr Kestin in 1994, proved to the satisfaction of the RSPCA that fish are capable of experiencing pain and suffering; subsequent reviews have confirmed the findings. The Society advocates that those anglers who see fit to pursue their activities adopt a code of practice based on this report.

In addition, the RSPCA is opposed to the use of lead in angling in view of the suffering and death caused to waterfowl. Since 1986 the supply and use in angling of a range of lead weights has been illegal. The regulations covered a wide range of the shot sizes used in angling but do not apply to lead weights and 0.06 grams or less (commonly referred to as dust shot) and weights of more than 28.35 grams (large leger weights). A variety of weights made of non-toxic materials have come on to the market to replace lead split shot in the size ranges covered by the law.

Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us.

Kind regards

Can you imagine a worse bunch of idiots? They needed a report that told them that fish can suffer like any other animal or man in order that they admit that they do. Absolutely no decision on positive action on their part. And to think that their organization is the origin for all animal protection in the world. Very decieving indeed.

My conclusion of all this is that as long as those "animal protection organizations" can't show the public the sufferring that thousands of fish go through, it's not happening. Great reasonning guys.

Take this with you.

Three guys get to the gates of heaven and St-Peter asks the fist one of what he died.

“I was in bed with a woman when her husband walked in on us. He grabbed me and threw me out of the 17th floor widow.”

St-Pete asked the following man the same question.

“I’m the guy who threw him out of the window and I was so mad that I threw the refrigerator out the window as well and died of a heart attack.”

The third man was asked the same question, to which he answered: “I was hiding in the refrigerator.”
