surviving the survivors
I have written previously about survival mechanisms. Survival mechanisms are the emotions/skills/mental states/instincts that we rely on when something bad/life threatening happens. By any measure, the way we function when the survival mechanisms kick in is who we REALLY are. Most adults have waded through tragedy on the way to becoming adults. Although those tragedies […]
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage
I make no secret about my belief system. It is not based in the slippery slope of organization, but instead founded on the idea that humans are excrement and as such, deserve every fucking thing that happens to them. Whether it is the small child gunned down in his own home as the bullets fly […]
two tribes
Anyone who has even the slightest opinion of what is happening in the middle east should watch this.
hammer time
“Yes . . . F—ING Yes!!! I LOVE MY JOB, it takes everything reckless and deviant and heathenistic (sic) and just overall bad about me and hyper focuses these traits into my job of running around this horrid place doing nasty things to people that deserve it . . . and some that don’t.” – […]
born slippy
There are a lot of dumb fuckers out there in the ether. After my last post I wanted to see what people say about terrorism, islam, christianity, and related topics. A good portion of the blogs that fall on either side of the fence are from people who clearly have little understanding to temper their […]
tell her tonight
I posted a comment on a blog I found through the comments on Chai & Apple Pie (if you don’t read Dawn’s blog, you should… funny, enlightening and entertaining) early today and it was removed. The blog is written by a Pakastani woman and the particular post was a response to another commenter who may […]
The One About Creationists
Have you ever known somebody that holds firm to their beliefs despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary? I’ve had the creationism vs. evolution argument numerous times and have rarely even put a dent in the brick wall that is a creationist’s head. I can bet that various creationists are currently covering their heads with sand […]
The One About Commenting At Your Own Risk
If you don’t keep up with my comments in the HOWLER MONKEYS section to the right, you’re missing out on some really fun stuff. For instance, after my post about ClearPlay, the comments became the platform for an interesting discussion on religion, morals, children, child rearing, and censorship. I think my rebuttal to the latest […]
The One Where I Speak of God
Do you believe in God? The Almighty? Do you consider yourself a Christian? Perhaps Catholic? Do you lie? Cheat? Steal? Sleep with whomever catches your eye in your favorite tavern? Do you look upon others who are of different color, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or religion with disdain? I ask these things because after an email […]
Aaaiiiiiieeeee!
I can’t believe that this is even legal but a company is developing a technology that would pre-edit DVDs that have questionable language or visuals. According to industry reports, ClearPlay lets an adult watch an R-rated film like Gladitor with all the violence, nudity and language edited out. Which means that you can teach your […]
