  • Danger: Troll Ahead … March 2, 2015

    How does one handle a troll? (In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers…

  • RESEARCH SHOWS FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF RAPE COMMON

    (Verbatim- sources noted)   by Marc E. Angelucci and Glenn SacksSeptember 18, 2004NewsWithViews.com   Despite its many painful and unseemly aspects, the Kobe Bryant rape case and the media storm surrounding it have drawn attention to a severely neglected problem: false rape accusations. In her recent Daily Journal column, high profile feminist professor Wendy Murphy…

  • Reminiscing … February 23, 2015

    I once wondered about why older people turned inside themselves and dwelt for long periods on the past. They would sit and reminisce about memories that originated decades before, sometimes while staring out a window, other times amongst their peers.  Now that I have reached what many think as being older I believe I am…

  • Too Much Toleration Will Get You Killed… February 16, 2015

    Toleration. To what extent should toleration be applied. Does toleration end as those you are tolerating are leading you to your execution? Shouldn’t your toleration have ended a wee bit before you couldn’t do anything about it? Many Jews tolerated the German Nazis far too long and went beyond the point where anything could be…

  • Open-minded My Hind-end … February 9, 2015

    Each camp has its own set of rules, laws, and morals. What applies to one camp does not apply to all others. One camp insists that the others follow its set of social standards, while the others insist that others must follow their precepts. Individual members must conform to the standards of the group they…

  • A Weight Problem … February 2, 2015

         I was reading yet another book written by an atheist when he lamented how terrible the misogyny was in the bible. He went on to describe an incident where god ordered his faithful to kill all the men and boys, all the women who had “known” men, keeping all the virgins for themselves. Well,…

  • Bridge For Sale … Cheap, Just Your Eternal Soul … January 26, 2015

      Existence is preferred over non-existence. Something is desired over nothing. Even the adolescent teenager that possesses no maturity imagines themselves able to observe from some higher plane the aftermath of their suicide “to get even, or make them sorry”. The concept of nothingness is as impossible to grasp as is the immensity of very…

  • Now, Again, But With Feeling … January 19, 2015

    Empathy is the ability to experience, or know, what someone else is experiencing. It is thought to be a product of neurons within the brain called “mirror-neurons”. People commonly experience this phenomenon when they yawn in response to someone else’s yawn. Some people are more empathetic than others. Some seem to have a total lack…

  • Don’t Speak to Them, Do Not Interact With Them if Possible, and Certainly, Do Not Patronize Any Businesses Owned By Feminists … February 8, 2014

    There is among us a group of haters. Many among this group are unaware that they hate. Those that are unaware are victims of this group just as much as those they hate. There are many names given to this group. An acronym NOW, Women’s Rights Activists, Empowered Women, or just plain feminists. From its…

  • There is no Intention, Just Indifference January 5, 2015

    Hurricanes, floods, tornados, drought, dust storms, and tsunami; all natural scourges humans and animals alike have faced since the beginning of existence. Ancient humans decided there must be some cause for these horrible tragedies. They fabricated a cause: Gods, demons. Nature has no conscience or consciousness. Nature does not act for or against any organism.…
