Stupid people everywhere…

So I have to ask. If you are Russian and living in the Ukraine and if you are Polish and living in the Ukraine and want to live like or be or speak your home language and somehow want autonomy then why the fuck don’t you move back to your country of origin. If I wanted to be Italian I would move to Italy, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to change Canada. Stupid people.

…and Islamic stupidity takes another step backwards

I swear it never ends. Islam has got to be the only religion that keeps going backwards everyday. I hope that most sane practitioners of Islam do not listen to this idiot of a Muslim clergyman. I swear I would rather see all religion outlawed on this planet rather than see this type of backward religious thinking take hold.

The Sad Tragic Fate Of Veronica Lake

Like many others in the past I always found VERONICA LAKE an incredibly sexy looking woman, but I always knew it was the hair that attracted me. I really never went into her life story too much but I recently I saw this article and I was surprised at her life and what happened to her. Read the article here…VERONICA LAKE

Is it true?

If this is not true then it may become true given time, unfortunately. Religious ideology is the most dangerous thing on this planet. It is the one thing that could lead to the extinction of mankind, so never take it for granted.

Ahh, the young sometimes they don’t think.

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.

The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.” The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment f or future generations.”

She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. Keep reading, more to think about below!

‘Happy Birthday’ Warner/Chappell Music copyright dispute, class action suit seeks return of millions

“Happy Birthday to…wait I can’t finish the song. Nope, can’t do it.

You may not know it, but you could owe Warner/Chappell Music thousands of dollars from all the birthday parties you’ve attended in your life.

A class action lawsuit seeks to change that.

Warner/Chappell Music claims to own the copyright to the 120-year old, 16-word song that is widely credited with being the best known piece of music in the English language. That means anyone who performs the song publicly risks a $150,000 fine if they don’t agree to pay a fee to the music group.

While the company doesn’t actually come after private individuals for singing the song to their 3-year-olds, it technically could. And it does demand money anytime the song is sung on a television show or movie.

Good Morning To You Productions, which is a making a documentary film about the song, filed a class action case Thursday seeking to have the song returned to the public domain. It argues the copyright on the song expired in 1921, and that it should not have been forced to pay $1,500 for the rights to use the song in its documentary.

Warner/Chappell Music is the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, a company with $2.8 billion in annual revenue. It claims on its Web site to own the copyright to more than 1 million songs.

According to the suit, the song was written by Mildred and Patty Hill and sold to Clayton Summy in 1893 for 10% of the retail sales of the sheet music. A company that Summy founded was eventually purchased by Warner Music Group in 1998, according to the suit. It argues that if Warner/Chappell owns any copyright, it’s on a very limited piano arrangement published in 1935, not on the song itself.

And it seeks to have Warner/Chappell return millions in fees it has been collecting over the years. The suit argues that Warner/Chappell collects more than $2 million a year in copyright fees on “Happy Birthday” alone.

Los Angeles-based Warner/Chappell could not be reached for comment Friday. The suit was filed in Federal Court in New York.

School Takes Kids to Mosque, Gives them Copies of Koran

A very interesting article to read. I don’t really have any objections to students visiting other places of religion when in school. I did and I did not find it a bad experience. The thing is, though, that if students are sent to other religious places then the students who practice those other religions must also visit religions they do not acknowledge. If Christians have to visit Islamic mosques then Islamic students need to visit Christian churches without interference from Islamic leaders. Basically speaking if one religion will not let their members visit other religions, then they should be taken off the list of Churches that are visited by other students. If Islamic students are not allowed to visit a Jewish synagogue then no students that practice other faiths should be sent to a a mosque. Quid pro quo. All or nothing. Simple. Either all religions respect other religions, or, the ones that do not, should be shunned. This may have worked in the past but in modern times the idea of violent religious indoctrination needs to be shunned. Anyway read on… Keep reading, more to think about below!

ohhh…oh…

So is it that time again to start building bomb shelters. There could be some good money in the business again. I guess if you can’t afford a bomb shelter you always drop and hide under a desk. Stay tuned.

You don’t own your Kindle books, Amazon reminds customer

I read this article that reminded me of what I already knew for quite a while now. A lot of you already know about this of course. Here is the situation that most people are not aware of. When you buy any software you have to agree to a license of use. Most people are not aware that when you purchase software or digital items that you are only renting them and not buying them. You see even though you made the purchase and pay the software people you do not own the product. You are not even allowed to resell it. Keep reading, there’s more outrage below!

Jimmy Carter: Violence Against Women Is The Most Pervasive Human Rights Violation In The World

Read this article and appreciate the words and info passed on by ex-president Jimmy Carter call to action. Former President Jimmy Carter is issuing a call to action to end the abuse and subjugation of women, which he refers to as the “worst and most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on Earth.”

Carter issued his strong statements about gender equality in a recent interview with NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell. The former president is currently doing media appearances to promote a new book, A Call To Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power, which discusses the issue of women’s victimization around the world.

Council Of Islamic Ideology: ‘Existence Of Women Is Un-Islamic’

Sometimes you read something so moronic that you hope that it is a fake. This is one of those articles. Of course considering that it involves Islamic religious leaders it probably is true. Islam can be at it’s worst the most idiotic and backward religion going. Not to say that most religions aren’t but at least most religions have tried to adjust itself to the needs of their members as much as they could. Religion is for people and not people for the religion. Islam is all about the religion and people are secondary to the religion. Islam is all about God/Allah and people do not really factor in since the belief is that we are only here to serve and to die for God/Allah. Nothing else is important and that is the reason it remains a backwards, medieval religion. Read this article and either believe it or have a good laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
