  • The Cost of Being Politically Incorrect… January 10, 2016

    Society has a narrative going. By that, I mean it has a direction, that it is being clandestinely guided. The people doing this guiding consider themselves well-meaning and are called SJWs. They think they know what is best for you to believe, for what you to do. They develop a loose linkage with others, persuading…

  • Non-believer Belief… January 3, 2016

    Many atheists hold ideological beliefs. Mystifyingly they claim that they rely on reason and logic, yet grasp tenaciously upon untrue ideological beliefs. What are some of these? 1. Feminism… there is no basis for the belief in a patriarchal entity. 2. Homosexual orientation is genetically determined… there is no definitive study that asserts flat-out that…

  • Why You Should Not Care… December 26, 2015

    Some people are paralyzed about what other people might think of them. They worry about making a fool of themselves, or that even someone might unfairly think of them as such. It doesn’t seem to matter that there are some who can never be pleased with you, you simply must please everyone. It is thought…

  • Black On White Mob Violence … December 20, 2015

    What’s this I hear about black on white mob violence? There are some who say this type of violence goes on frequently, regularly, in the major cities of the United States. Why isn’t it reported in the media? Many say it is because media moguls consider that it might be inflammatory or racist to report…

  • Euthanasia Revisited … December 13, 2015

    January 12, 2015, I wrote: “For the animals we keep as pets there has always been the option of euthanasia available to them to allow a death with dignity. Because of ancient religious beliefs euthanasia has always been denied humans because the religious feel that death should occur in the time decided by a deity.…

  • Humans Inhumane … December 6, 2015

    War… nobody wants war, yet there are so many wars. If nobody wants it how come it keeps cropping up? Such cruelty from a species that possesses such capacity for empathy… there seems some disconnect. The malady of humans is the result of millions of years of evolution. The primitive drives are never left behind…

  • Capitalism and Greed … November 29, 2015

    My assertion is that capitalism is successful because it feeds the inherent greed of people. Capitalism, by itself is not the culprit. If the individual engaging in capitalism was not greedy and accumulating vast wealth while others around were living in squalor, then capitalism is a useful instrument for creating wealth. However, if the individual…

  • The “Ick” Factor … November 22, 2015

    A lot of what humans believe is based on the “ick” factor. The “ick” factor is that unsavory feeling you get. It can be a feeling of revulsion or a pit in your stomach. A feeling of fear may also qualify. It is true that basing what you believe on a feeling is illogical, not…

  • Censorship To Protect The Sensitive …

    For this new year approaching I have decided that censorship is necessary in my posts on Facebook. There are many people who cannot take the full caustic nature of reality and must be shielded from it. Therefore, upon determination of their sensitivity I will designate them in my “friends” as sensitive in nature and they…

  • Humanity Sucks, Big Time … November 15, 2015

      There are many reasons why humanity just plain sucks. What? Of course this post is my opinion, and no I don’t want any criticism, constructive or otherwise. One of the main reasons it sucks for me is that over one-half of the human race has seemingly turned against the other half… for no good…
