A lot of Competition Out There!

It's not just that unemployed people are lazy or self indulgent, wasting away their time on FB, MySpace, Twitter or Buzz, it's really that there are no jobs. In a few years, though, there'll be a job vacuum as baby-boomers retire. Job Competition - TIME

So, the state of California can destroy families at whim?

Imagine this: an elderly couple, one 88 and one 77, never married but together for 20 years. Imagine, they have all their legal paperwork in order giving each other power of attorney and spousal rights. Now imagine one gets hurt and the county, deciding they were "just roommates" won't allow the power of attorney to be executed. Now image, the county states the other person cannot care for themself and institutionalizes them both, selling their home and auctioning all their possessions to "pay for care." Image one dies while the other is not able to execute their rights. Yes it happens, it happens in California. County Separates Elderly Couple and Sells Off Their Possessions

Ten Signs You're an Unquestioning Christian

Ten Signs You Are An Unquestioning Christian 1: You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of YOUR god. 2: You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt. 3: You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem with believing in a Trinity god. 4: Your face turns purple when you hear of the atrocities attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all of the babies of Egypt in 'Exodus' and ordered the elimination of ENTIRE ETHNIC GROUPS in 'Joshua' - including women, children, and animals. 5: You laugh at Hindu beliefs that defy humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem in believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then g...

Profile Pics and Feminism

Let's see if I can get this right. Please weigh in on this -- am I being absurd? Trust me in that I did no editing to these screenshots other than to blur out last names. Granted, taking the screenshots was sort of a pain in the ass because FB doesn't let you copy a comment feed or link to it as far as I know. Could the ladies please chime in? I want a female's perspective and if you'll notice the only people commenting on Michelle's status are men applauding her skimpy clothing in one manner or another. Not a single woman has chimed in. In this dramatization I'll be playing the role of "Jason" and Michelle will be playing herself. In the comments we reference a conversation we had in real life the other night where I said I liked her profile pictures especially the witch one (it works for me) but having pictures of her scantily clad might be negative professionally or attract the wrong attention. Then today she comes out with this: (you can read ...

AZ Law

With all the talk about the AZ bill about giving local law enforcement the power to, "under reasonable suspicion," detain anyone they think might be an illegal immigrant. To break it down, they're giving the government agents the power to stop people accused of being of a certain subset and request them show their documentation proving their right to be there. When was the last time something like this made national news...? Hmm.... Seems like a scene from Nazi Germany where the SS agent asks the people not wearing a yellow star to show their papers. I'm just saying... And with all the negative media attention and global eye on the hicks in Arizona, the legislature has decided to "rework" the law to make it more clear and less vague on when, where and who can be stopped and under what circumstance. Seems the righteousness of the conservative agenda has a little ego that got bruised. Either than, with all the calls to boycott Arizona and AZ products, they ...
