Sunday October 01, 2006 I was reading an older news article which didn't exactly get wide spread coverage but I just had to share. BOOMERANG is a cartoon network featuring older cartoons on satellite. A while ago I saw an article that in England Boomerang had to cut out all scenes that depicted Tom, of Tom & Jerry cartoons, smoking. Over the years old cartoons featuring black characters in those old Warner Brothers cartoons have been banned from television. Of course religious groups in the US have been instrumental in removal of many cartoons as well. Now it seems that BOOMERANG has arrived in Iraq and guess what...a Fatwa (death warrant) has been issued against Bugs Bunny. Read this article by clicking here...DEATH TO BUGS Hey God is there any chance you can protect us from all these nutcases around the world who want to protect us from ourselves. This world is going to Hell in a handbasket. I still maintain that religion should be banned worldwide. I lot more of us would be alive today if we got rid of relgion and religious fanatics. Killing cartoon characters...now I've heard of everything. Sunday September 17, 2006 Once again the world has to walk around on it's tippy toes so they don't offend the Muslem people. Once again they get mad at a Christian and they burn down churches and shoot a nun 4 times in the back. A nun for God's sake. No there is a real threat to them. The Pope reads an historical text and these people take offense. Let us face it people they take offense at anything we say and we go like whimpering puppy dogs and fall all over ourselves trying to apoligize. Even the Pope apoligized, something rarely done. Well hell if he is going to apoligize for reading an historical text them we all might as well just get down on our kness and kiss their Islamic toes. It is what they want nad what they expect, so let us make like nice little pet lap dogs and do just that. After all they deserve our admiration. Muslims fundamentialist and the other more tolerant ones are better than we are because they have suceeded in turning us into kiss asses. We apoligize for everything while they jihad us, fly planes into our buildings, kill our soldiers and even managed to have the biggest symbol of the Christian religion apoligize for not saying anything wrong. We are afraid of them and so as I have said before the strongest will survive and it seems they will. Muslim's over the next few decades will out number Christians by sheer population growth. They will prove the stronger because more of our population will turn to the Islamic religion and they will prove stronger because they are not willing to budge an inch and fight for their religion and what do we do? We say "I'm sorry for having offended thee". Yup the strongest will win. Survival of the fittest. That unfortunately is leaving us out of the picture. It's a shame. Article to read.... Pope 'deeply sorry' for offending Muslims Sunday September 10, 2006 THE FALLING MAN This morning I had a chance to catch up with some taped television viewings. I sat and watched the CBC report on THE FALLING MAN. This title is in reference to the most famous picture of people falling from the twin towers on Sept 11, 2001. Right off the bat here I have to say that NO ONE should ever refer to these people as JUMPERS. Often in the film I saw they were referred to as jumpers, this has to be the farthest thing from the truth. Anyone watching this film or anyone who was a ground zero could in no way think these people were suicidal, which is what the term 'jumpers' refer to. The film brought up the fact that some very religious families, Catholics, in particular believe that if you commit suicide you can not be buried in conscerated ground and that your afterlife will be spent in hell for all eternity. This was the fear of the Hernandaz family who was led to believe for so long that their father was the FALLING MAN. They refused to believe that this famous picture was of their father, Norbetto Hernandez but still they did fear that it might have been him until write Tom Junod started a more complex investigation that proved it was not Norebetto. Instead his investigations led to another man, Jonathan Eric Briley, the son of a very devout Baptist Minister. After the investigation it still could not be proven who the falling man was. Junod stated that it was best this way because the identity of this man was unimportant as he represented the tragedy of that day, as did the other people who fell. This picture is the same as that of the UNKOWN SOLDIER, it did not matter who fell, what mattered was what they represented. I watched with the occassional tear sneaking out because after all the carnage of that day I realized that those people who fell caused me the greatest sadness. I realized that some of those people were blown out of the windows, some were probably, inevitable and irrevocably pushed out in the rush for fresh air and some had the courage to chose their own end. Some may say this could be construed as suicide. To those I would have to say, "are you nuts?" Look the peole trapped in that building tried to get out, a natural instinct. Those who knew they were trapped, knew their lives were coming to an end; no one would be able to rescue them. They knew in their hearts they were going to burn to death and it would be a slow agonizing death. I tried to put myself in their place and I have to tell you the idea is was just torture, because I am Catholic and suicide is something I would find extremely difficult to cope with and that is why I realized that no one that day jumped, no one committed suicide. Suicide is the willful decision to take ones life. No one on that day outside of the terrorists flying those planes had made the conscience decision to take their own lives. The people in those towers did not go in to work that day with the intention of killing themselves. I put myself in their place and I realized that if I was in those buildings that I was trapped and that I would die. I may have been one of those that knew what really happened and I would have realized that day I was murdered. So I was dead whether I wanted to be or not. The only choice I may have had was to die quickly or to die a slow agonizing death from smoke and fire. It was really hard, and, then I realized that as hard it was for me to even contemplate I would hope that I had the courage to do do what some of those people did. I realized that since I was dead anyway I might as well die free and not be burned to death. I realized that if I had the courage I would want those last 10 seconds of my life to feel the freedom of flight, and to be free from the fires. I realized that this would be quick and that at least their would be a body to bury and closure for my family. Most important to me would have been those last 10 seconds of total unbridled freedom and I hope that my act would be seen by those responsible as my final act of defiance against their acts of terror. Would I have been scared. Damn right I would be. To me these people took on the image of our defiance against these fanatics who would do this type of thing. To the families of those that knew their loved ones fell, I say be proud of them for their last, probably terrfying moments, were like a middle finger going up to the sky saying to their killers, 'screw you'. Last thing to say is that I realized after seeing THE FALLING MAN, that if I had heard of the Catholic church denying the burial of even one of these brave souls in consecrated ground, it would be my last day as a Catholic. I am happy to say I have not heard this has happened. If you have chance to see THE FALLING MAN do so and learn from it. Wednesday September 06, 2006 Closure At Last Well it's taken two years but the old staff of The Starlite Drive-In has closure at last. Back in August of 2004 one of our people was so bruttally beaten by a drunk patron that ...well let's say that I hadn't seen so much blood outside of a horror movie. Now the culpret has finally been put in jail where he deserves to be. Read the Spectator article below. Victim of beating testifies at assailant's sentencing. Tuesday September 05, 2006 An article to help educate Jihads: From Muhammad To Atta Okay last one for today. This is a good article to read. I need to find something pleasant to write about. Tuesday September 05, 2006 Maybe.... Hey maybe we should all push to consider a ban on religion worldwide. It would mean no more religious war and bull about God being on "their" side and bull about God being on "our" side. I think he has just about had it with all sides. I bet He didn't have this problem with the dinosaurs for millions of years. Maybe the greenhouse effect is God's way to get rid of us and let the bugs take over. They will probably do better. Me I would conside rtaking a rocket ship to another planet nad start from scratch. Anyone know if there is one available. I can dream can't I. Tuesday September 05, 2006 Jihads and Crusades I found a good article that should be read. It covers some good points on all sides that we try to turn a blind eye to. I found it informative and interesting. Everyone must learn and understand that RESPECT is something everyone has to give to teh other. Right now it seems we give the respect and receive very little in return. Something to ponder. Jihads and Crusades Islam has better Jihads then we all hear about...here they are below... JIHAD OF THE HEART: to purify oneself and try to live as the prophets did. JIHAD OF THE TONGUE: to speak out in support of social justice, to educate. JIHAD OF THE HAND: to touch others with dignity and respect. JIHAD OF THE SWORD: to fight, as a last resort, against economic and social injustice Four Jihads will give you more information. Be informed, it never hurts. Tuesday September 05, 2006 Just to be fair I saw this video that should get equal playtime in my rantings. Our allies are not always just in what they do either. So watch this video and see sometings from the other side. I have not been a fan of Israel's push into Palestine for a long time, so here is a video worth watching. PALESTINIEN HUMILIER CHEZ LUI It will take a minute ot load. Tuesday September 05, 2006 Just my jab...at you P.C. guys Kiss this goodbye in a Muslim world. Maybe some Muslim fundimentalist will see some image in this video and want it banned. Watch this one. I'm just pissed today after reading articles about you know what and seeing a good Hamilton boy killed in Afghanistan because we are helping people who would just as soon see us dead. No one seems to want to learn from history; especially us and we certainly don't listen. You guys going overseas, try to remmeber that you are fighting for our rights to read, show and write what we want without fear of being jihaded to death every day. Tuesday September 05, 2006 Now this is the height of ridiculousness Here we go again...everyone is so afraid that even BURGER KING caves in. No wonder terrorisim is so effective against Westernes. Why would Muslim terrorists even consider stopping when crap like this goes on. When is enough, enough. Read this article and then smack your head in disgust. Burger King recalls 'sacrilegious' desserts When they bend over you might as well kiss it to. Krikee!! Friday August 25, 2006 Some unliving dead thing ate their brains. Some zombie maust have eaten these guys brains. Ryanair a plane service in England wants to sue the British government becasue their security is to tight and cause delays. Someone out to put these guys together on a plane and hijack it so they can see what it would be like. Morons must have handed their brains to a pack of zombies. Wait a minute they didn't have any brains to begin with if they really go throught with this. I guess next time I want to fly I'll do it on Ryanair....NOT!!! Read the article.... Ryanair may sue over airport security Monday August 07, 2006 Casting The First Stone All this crap going on about Mel Gibson is stupid. I would like to meet one person who has never honestly thought or said a racist comment. They may not mean it, or believe it but they have said it or thought it. Gibson was drunk (stupid) so he let slip out the little nagging voice that everyone has and keeps concealed in the lower recesses of their id. The most intelligent of people, the most saintly of people, the most politically correct of people once in a while let slip the thoughts of war. Hey remember FORBIDDEN PLANET? Dr. Mobius with his massive intellect, living on a planet of once super intelligent and tolerant people, manages to subconsciously let let loose the creature from the ID. The monsterous creature from the deepest recesses of his subconscious manages to take control while he slept and destroyed all those he loved. The same thing caused the extermination of the entire planet's population when they learned how to manifest their sleeping minds into three dimensional terrors that caused them to destroy each other. The subconscious is always there and while we fight hard to suppress stupid thoughts, they sometimes manage to slip out, especially when our mind is weakened by alcohol. So, people everywhere, give Mel Gibson a break. He was drunk; punish him for drinking and driving but for goodness sake forget the rest. His mouth just spouted what he has kept suppressed from centuries of intolerance planted in our heads by others, wars, newspapers, rulers of state ,and now movies. We are bombarded by intolerance everyday in the media, so once in a while it slips out. We know we're all intolerant to some extent but each day we say..."Today, I will not be intolerant." That is the beginning of tolerance. Tolerance also means that we forgive intolerance, because ..."today we will not be intolerant towards an intolerant person. We will be better." So lay off Mel Gibson already, you all helped shape his thoughts. Monday August 07, 2006 Facts on Lebanon I just thought I would comment on a few things about Lebanon that many probably don't know. Even though I don't like what's going on over in the Middle East right now, knowing a few facts never hurts. Lebanon is a split religion country with Muslims and Catholics. The Hezbollah are not a terrorist organization that condones or allows suicide bombings. It is also a group that is not happy with Osama Bidden Ladin's tactics. Hezbollah does not go after the United States. Hezzbollah is a not only a military power but it is also a government party in Lebanon that is very people friendly when it comes to those it protects. The men will always helps those it protects, from making repairs to making sure people have food. This is why so many back the Hezbollah. Hezbollah's enemy is Israel; it does not want to see Israel in the Middle East and is it's mortal enemy. Remember that Israel is not completely innocent in all of this either. The Israeli government does do lots of nasties as well such as Targeted Assassinations. If it can't legally get someone, it sends out teams that perform lots of undercover assassinations. Neither of these two are innocent in it's tactics and this entire war is between the two...so why are we interfering? I don't think the U.S. or Canada or France would be too happy to have other countries trying to tell them what to do if they were in the middle of a war with an enemy. Maybe the best thing we can do is keep our mouths shut and observe and step in only when things get out of hand if they do. Maybe the two countries should do their own political dealings without our help. It helps to remember that interference is not always appreciated. Sometimes the best hing we can do is sit back and watch and be prepared to help after everything is over. You can be certain that there will be people after this war is over that will bitch and complain that we didn't more while at this time those same people are complaining that we are interfering. You just can't win. War is stupid. Death is always the only winner. If everyone ran around naked we wouldn't have wars. If God was as mercilful as we would all like to believe, he wouldn't allow this crap to happen. Yeah , I know all about the 'free will' crap. It's all crap. People are the problem. It's like the saying 'guns don't kill people...people kill people.' Well war doesn't kill people, people kill people. Get rid of guns and then people would not have wars. Yeah, right...out come the sticks and stones. Time for the cockroaches to take over. Saturday August 05, 2006 The Lesson of Indonesia I've been reading the paper again and the means it's bad for you because then I come on here and bitch. I suggest for those who haven't read the Spectator article from Saturday August 5/06 then click on Sharia Law and read it and take warning, becasue it almost happened in Ontario and it could still happen in the very near future. I will no humm some intermission music while you read the article. Okay you back, good because I was getting tired of humming. I hope you saw the scary part of that article. Indonesia is now 88 % Muslim and it has the world's largest Muslim population, Protestant 5%, Roman Catholic 3%, Hindu 2%, Buddhist 1%, other 1%. This is a country that by law you must subcribe to one of the five religions. This change happened within the last 40 years. As soon as they became more powerful in the country, look what happened, the clerics take over. It can't here you say...dream on. The Dutch began to colonize Indonesia in the early 17th century; the islands were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. Indonesia, primarily a Christian/Buddist and Hindu country declared its independence after Japan's surrender, but it required four years of intermittent negotiations, recurring hostilities, and UN mediation before the Netherlands agreed to relinquish its colony. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state and in that time became the world's largest Muslim populated country in that 60 year timespan. As you can see by the article it has regressed and become a country ruled by fear and superstition. The province of Aceh has a strong belief that the reason that the country is having so many problems is that there is divine judgement against the Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. A country ruled by superstition and fear of relgion. Is this something that awaits countries that need immigrants to populate their countries. Is this the future of Canada. We don't want to really look that far into the future because we are afraid and because we have to many myopic bleeding heart liberals. Personally I think that the Italians should take over Canada; it would be a much more fun country. Let's move the entire Italian population that lives around Mt. Vesuvius to Canada before the volcano goes off again. Yeah, vino and amore. Saturday August 05, 2006 Stop Picking On Our Prime Minister Why is everyone picking on Stephen Harper? Wait. Why are bleeding heart liberals picking on Stephen Harper? Wait. Why am I defending Stephen Harper? I didn't even vote for the man. Harper was voted in, and he is our Prime Minister so we have to accept his ways and beliefs of what he thinks is good for Canada. If we don't like it we can vote him out next election, which may come sooner than we expect. The man is being criticized by many for his stance of what is happening in the middle East right now. Why? He hasn't said anything wrong. The only thing he is doing wrong in my opinion is being involved in the Middle East in any way whatsoever. It is no surprise to anyone who takes the time to read my ramblings. I don't think we should be involved over there and I don't think we should allow people, from countries that breed terrorists, into Canada, whether or not we need more cab drivers or skilled labour. We should be training our youth to do the skilled labour jobs by paying for their tutions. We should even be forcing prisoners in jails across Canada to learn trades. Maybe that will help cut down on crimes after tehy are released. Once a prisoner sees how much they can make by being a bricklayer they'll never go back to crime. What those guys charge, is a crime. I should know I have lots of relatives doing that type of work and let me tell you, they are not exactly poor. Harper's stance is fine. If the Lebanese government can't control their own people and those offenders attack another country or that countries citizens then it has a right to go to war, as offensive as war may be. If Canada tends to side with Israel, well that makes sense after all it's not Israel that sends terrorists around the world to bomb and maim people. Why should we side with a country or countries that allows this type of worldwide terrorist activity. If the other Middle East countries cared about what is going on over there they should send in their armies to stop Hezbollah and help the legitimate Lebanese government regain control of it's own governemnt. But, no, they all criticize Israel (who they want to see destroyed), Canada, the US, France and others instead of doing their own dirty work. Oh, and to those landed immigrant from Lebanon and other Middle East countries who are living here and are going to great pains to criticize Harper and our government for siding with the Israelis, may I suggest you go back there and fight with your countrymen. Oh wait. That's right a whole pack of you jumped on the rescue boats and came running to hide in Canada so you wouldn't get bombed, because you have dual citizenships. I guess it's easier to come here to criticize what Canadians do than to stay over there and fight. To those who criticize and whine about what Harper is doing or who we are backing, may I suggest you go back home and defend your homeland if you feel it's important to you. If it isn't important enough for you to die for then please, keep your mouths shut and stop the criticisim. If I felt it was important enough, I would go and defend my country. If you are truly Canadian because you are a citizen and no longer a citizen of your homeland then abide but what is going on over here. Many people in the past left their adopted countries only to return to their home of origin to fight and defend it, because they believed in it enough to risk their lives, they were true patriots of their homeland. If anyone out there thinks I am some kind of cold hearted bastard, then you are truly on the wrong path. The worst thing for me, would be to have to ever kill anyone, even an enemy soldier. The idea that little children and innocent civilians are being killed because of religion is absolutely abhorrent to me. It keeps me awake at night and praying to the universe to put an end to this strife. This is bringing me closer and closer to the idea that relgion should be banned worldwide along with all armies. It's a fantasy, I know, because man is nothing more than a predatory animal who has to kill to defend beliefs that were established centuries ago and have little meaning in today's world. This is all about priests and clerics maintaining power over the little people, something that has been going on for centuries and will continue, for centuries to come, unless we blow each other up first. The North Koreans may just solve that problem for us yet. |
