The Truth ads

Have you seen those annoying "The Truth" commercials on television that criticize the tobacco industry? I fail to see what the deal is with their vindictive spirit, and their little publicity stunts are annoying enough that if I were to encounter one of these social patriots that I would have to tell him to kiss my ass and get a life. The basic gist of their rants is that the tobacco industry is a malevolent entity that has lied to people and made people suffer. I fail to see this philosophy. I'm 36, and I've known for as long as I can remember that cigarette smoking is bad for your health. Simple common sense would tell you that sucking a burning material into your lungs under any situation just isn't a good thing. The fact that people are blaming the tobacco companies for their ailments, or - even worse - that there are retards who sit on juries that believe them, just further reinforces my belief that Americans today do not want to take responsibility for their own actions.

Why stop with blaming the tobacco companies for causing your lung cancer? Let's sue the lighter and match companies for making the instruments used to light the cigarettes! It's their fault, too!!! Let's sue the beer companies for causing alcoholism and drunk drivings. They lied! They should have told everybody that drinking beer can make you drunk and too much of it can lead to alcoholism. Drunk driving kills somebody! Let's sue the beer company, and let's sue the car manufacturer for making a vehicle that killed somebody. Let's sue the government for putting the road where the crash happened; after all, if the road had been put somewhere else, our loved one would not have been in the location he/she was killed. Let's sue the drunk's parents, since they are responsible for bringing the drunk into the world, and they should have had a reasonable expectation that there was a possibility that their progeny would grow up to be a shithead.

Are you following my logic?

People! Take your blaming finger pointing and point it in a mirror.

A gentle reminder....

...of the power of Islam.

Muslims: Less filling! Tastes great! Kaboom!

And the hits just keep on coming! The religion of peace can't even get along with each other. Shiites killing Sunnis. Sunnis killing Shiites. These guys are killing me! And who do they blame? That's right! The USA!

It is not the fault of the US that your pathetic, bellicose religion is showing it's true, lame colors. Imagine if the Lite Beer from Miller commercials were done by Muslims:

"Less filling."
"Tastes great"
"I bomb your schools!"
"I bomb your mosques!"
Together: "We both blame America."

If you've ever seen the movie "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death," you know that there is a part in the movie where the two main Amazon Women factions at war with each other are at war because they had a difference of opinion about what kind of dip should be eaten. Such is the pathetic fighting between Sunnis and Shiites.

But, there is an up side to this: At least the Muslims are killing each other!!!!

Equality is dumbing down America

Recently, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division (Interpreted: Double jeopardy by another name) sent notification to the Virginia Beach Police Department that their entrance exam was racially biased against blacks and hispanics. What, you may ask, were the culturally devisive questions? Math problems. That's right, questions involving the ability to do mathematics. Supposedly, since 80% of the white folks who take the test can pass the math section, and much less that 80% of the blacks and hispanics who take it can't, then the test is biased.

This leads me to a question: How in the hell can math be biased? You either know it, or you don't. One of the critics against the math questions wants to know exactly how math plays a role in police work. Well, let's see: A tractor-trailer collides with a pick-up truck after the pick-up skidded 77 feet on a 3-degree downhill grade into an intersection, and in order to try to determine minimum travel speeds of the two vehicles you want to use a formula for Conservation of Angular Momentum, along with Combined Speed Formulae and Crush Damage Assessment. Sounds like math to me.

Breath alcohol concentration in NC is measured as grams per 210 liters of breath. Blood alcohol is measured as grams per 100 milliliters of blood. Hope you know the metric system.

Angular effect in radar speed enforcement can be determined by the Cosine of the Angle to the Target Vehicle. Trigonometry, baby!!

Law Enforcement is more and more becoming a profession, requiring educated, professional people. Gone are the days where you hired big, brutish men who could kick ass but weren't much good for anything else. If you want professionalism in law enforcement, you have to hire smart, competent people, and you have to pay them a professional salary.

You are involved in a bad wreck, and questions arise. Do want an officer investigating who couldn't score the 80% when math is needed? You are a victim of a bookkeeping scam. Do want an officer who can't do simple math and interest computations to determine your loss?

Everybody should be treated equally, but we shouldn't lower the standards of excellence and achievement to accomplish that perspective.

Because I love this "Religion of Peace..."

A great little synopsis on Boortz.com:

Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.
Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.
Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage
Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.
Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When, though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?


I have the same feelings. Remember: After the tsunami in December 2004, the US jumped to the aid of those inundated. What was the typical Muslim response? Be careful, we don't want you tainting our beloved religion with your western ways. My thought after that was: "Fuck them. Let Allah take care of them."

Pretty much, that last statement sums up my feelings for the entire Islamic faith.

Cable a la carte

My monthly cable bill, along with cable Internet, costs me nearly $100 a month. I get approximately 70 different channels, all without the need of a converter box (I despise having to use a converter box). Of those 70 channels, how many do you suppose that I watch? Let's see: I need one ABC, one NBC, one CBS, and one Fox channel. In addition, I frequently watch The Weather Channel, Sci-Fi (just one show there: Battlestar Galactica), FX, History (Hitler channel: All Nazis, all the time!), ESPN, and sometimes Spike TV for some mind-numbing fun. That's not very many. Why, oh why, does my bill have to subsidize the local cable broadcasting of spanish-speaking channels? I have three spanish channels, and I despise the very fact that I don't have the option of not having to pay for those channels (don't be fooled: Your cable bill goes towards the survival of every cable-only channel you receive). I don't want to see spanish tv, and definitely don't want to learn how to speak spanish. I've programmed those three stations out of my remote, but I'm still paying for them. I have three bible-thumper channels: Not much use for them. The Golf Channel? Are you shitting me? Watching grass grow is more exciting than watching golf. Plus, I get several man-haters channels, with the typical story of woman who is beaten/killed/wronged/raped/abused/neglected by some guy, but she then recovers and discovers new guy who is perfect but there is a bump in the road of their relationship but in the end they get together.

MTV? Crap. VH1? Ditto. CMT? Sorry, I don't have a sister to fornicate with. BET? Please!

We should be allowed to purchase individual channels a la carte. At the current cost per channel, each channel would cost about $1.33. I would have about 15 channels that I would select (I would even suffer through a converter box if this was made possible), and would not be subsidizing the local Hispanic community's desire to see Telemundo.

Allah ha ha ha hahahahaha part II

Well, now. Muslims are pissed because of a caricature of Mohammed with a bomb, so they stage violent protests and carry out violent acts...just like the cartoon!

I really, really , really, hope that the Islamic world really does pursue their "Jihad." There are certain things in the world that are self-correcting problems...
