News kinda just came to me about Time Warner Cable cutting about 19 channels. Amongst the channels being removed will be Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, and Spike.

I soon decided to hunt for information and I found this YouTube infomercial.

Auto Zone violates rights?

2

Category:

I was surfing around online today for some Auto Zone research when I came across this little nifty article titled “Report: Auto Zone Employee.”

I read on thinking it was a little complaint. But as I read on, it didn’t seem like it was.

Ok so now my story and why I’m posting this. I am an active Auto Zone employee who is Hispanic at least. Now when my rights are violated, I’ll fight back physically, verbally, and psychologically. If you’re white and you call me a spic, I’ll tell you go get your mom and dad and to take a boat back to Britain where your ancestor's came from. Still talking? I’ll sit on you. Still talking? I’ll abuse your mind!

But that’s not the point of me here today. My point is that a Hispanic AutoZoner had his rights violated. Being from Mexican decent, he spoke Spanish to Spanish speaking customers. Communication is the most important thing when it comes to getting the right part out to a customer.

If you read up on his complaint, and try to convert his bad spelling and grammar, you too will see that he must have been mistreated.

Now it saddens me even more to see that little American’s who’s ancestor's not to mention were from another country, just made his complaint a joke. I do support English as a primary language but I also believe that other languages should be tolerated. Because America is built and sustained from immigrants. Don’t believe me? Look it up. The English took over America because their queen was charging too many taxes. Those who came here were immigrants themselves.

Now my closing argument, if you are racist, remember your origins. You might have been born in America, but your blood line traces from beyond these borders.

Happy New Year’s. Keep it safe and fun. Don’t drink and drive, we want to go home not a hospital.

Here comes the new year!!!

0

Category: , , ,

As we all know the new year comes with fun, games, beer, and firecrackers! But for most of us there’s an extra thing that goes in the celebrating a new year, and that’s the “New Year’s Resolution.” It means what you’re going to do different in the coming new year.

The majority of us say “lose weight” while the rest try to do better in life. So what should you really do for your New Year’s resolution? Personally, do to others what you’d want others to do for you. Simply meaning feed the need, home the orphaned, and maybe give your best friend a hug.

We all make promises for ourselves. Promising that we’re going to lose weight, that we’re going to change our living habits, and even going green. But those promises go unattended and after a while, we forget about those promises. So why not do something that doesn’t only make you feel all bubbly inside but at the same time help other people while you’re at it. :)

Caylee Anthony

Category:

What narcissistic mind would kill their child? Who would go out dancing after their child is “missing?” Go out drinking and banging friends? Although I’m not a parent, I think I know the feeling of losing a child. What would I have done if my child went missing? I’d call 9-1-1 not even 24 hours later, call up my family and friends, and prepare to be prime suspect number one.

It is sad to think that Casey Anthony, or anyone at that matter, would even kill their own child. From what I’ve heard and read, Casey is a narcissistic bitch! The attention was being draw away from her so she killed poor little Caylee. Now she has attention and 1,000 lesbians in different prisons just waiting and wishing for her to get to their prison.

I hope justice is brought to that rat. She isn’t even hot so I don’t know why she is soo narcissistic.

In memory of a little child, Caylee Anthony. May she rest in peace.

Am I good enough?

0

Category: , ,

Everyday there are supermodels, people with “sexy” bodies, and the role models that are whoring themselves. They are on everything from tents to shampoo, commercials to magazines. So am I really good enough to fit in?

I think I am. I breath air, I have a heart that beats, and I have a soul. Should I “try” to fit in?

Well if you want me to go anorexic and diminish my life to just eating one leaf of lettuce per day then I ain’t going to try to fit in. People now are so into what they see on TV and the magazines that they forget the best person they can be is inside them. The personality.

Hannah Montana slash Miley Cyrus makes it seem ok to be a schitzo. Jamie Lynn Spears makes it seem ok to be a pregnant single teen. Selena Gomez makes it seem ok to be a whore.

Yet teens that look up to them just don’t see the fact of what those “super stars” really are. I’m not sexist, so look at the Jonas Brothers. Sharing girls puts a bad image on guys. Makes guys think it’s ok to sleep around with other girls while on tour.

No wonder so many teens have band babies.

I think I am good enough to fit in even though I don’t have the looks, money, and fame. I don’t need a six pack and 50 unknown girls by my side to make me feel good. I’m the average person who loves to talk poopie and has an open mind. So screw you all rich people who are “OMG! I’m going to gain weight with one fry.” And “I love Earth so I ask you to use one sheet of toilet paper.”

Laterz my fellow readers :)

Audras' Top 5 Most Hated Words and Phrases of 2008

0

Category:

I kissed a girl.

It seems that every time I look up, or take my headphones from my ears, I hear someone, somewhere, saying SOMETHING about kissing a girl.  And let me say that I could care less if you kissed one girl or one billion girls.  I could care less if you liked kissing a girl.  I am sick of hearing about it!  The song isn't any good, the lyrics are no good, and Katy Perry is no good.  If I never hear this again, it'll be too soon.

But I've barely even started here; that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Casey Anthony.

I know I'm going to get lambasted for this one, but I for one am growing very weary hearing about Casey Anthony and Caylee Anthony every waking moment.  I think this was a very sad story, and I pray for their family.  But day in and day out...do I really have to hear every single second how Casey Anthony seems to be the perpetrator?  Do I really have to sit in front of the television, letting those insipid, scrawny little on-air personalities (Nancy Grace) argue with others so sophomorically for so long about nothing more than how they "think" that Casey Anthony might have killed her daughter?  (Like we didn't already know this.)

Twilight, the Jonas Brothers


Every year teenaged girls fall for the same predictable bullshit.  This year, it was the book Twilight and the Jonas Brothers.  I don't even need to talk about the latter, so I'll discuss the former.  Twilight was ridiculous, and the hype surrounding the book and the movie exacerbated this problem.  All over America, brainless teenagers (and some really, really smart teenaged girls who just got sucked in) fell for Twilight.  And talked my fucking head off about it.  And talked some more.  And talked some more.

When will you shut the fuck up about Twilight?  After this year, I want to rename twilight - you know, that period between dusk and darkness - to something else.  I cringe just hearing the word.

Maverick and Change.

I shouldn't even have to explain myself.  But I'm tired of Obama saying "CHANGE," and McCain calling himself a "MAVERICK."  Neither are true - Obama screwed up by getting Hillary Clinton, Timothy Geithner, and Rahm Immanuel; McCain disproved his "maverick" claim by voting with Bush 90% of the time.  (And that's without going into the whole shebang about how Obama and McCain voted together some 75% of the time.)

And finally, the biggest no-brainer ever:

ECONOMIC CRISIS.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand we're in the worst place we've been since the Great Depression, and that we're going to face another depression, and that all the money that's being printed will cause a Weimar Republic-styled bout of hyperinflation.  But every time I turn on the TV, I hear about this crisis.  And I wouldn't care if they told us the facts, but they're choosing to instill fear.  They're fearmongers, just like neocons and Weight Watchers.

You shouldn't be scared of anything.  If you have your weapons, your ammo, your gold and silver, your food, your water, your family, and your God, you'll be perfectly fine.  If you don't, you'll still be perfectly fine.  This country won't make it through this time, but I assure you that no matter what happens, we'll turn out alright.

censored Music!

Category:

A lot of todays best music is censored.  It's not fair to the peoples over 18.  Parents are so worried about there children listening to music with bad language and nudity and blame it on the aurther when honestly i believe its there own fault. Don't want your children to hear bad language or see  a little nudity on the music videos or cds then censor it yourself what they watch and hear. Just because they  can't listen or hear it doesn't mean its fair for us older people. I myself am 18, my parents never allowed me to listen to or watch any of that, they always kept me sheltered or at least tried to. but there is always away around it. What about when children visit the friends, go to school and stuff like that? now a days its hard for us adults to find a good cd were its not censored and sounds like crap. what are we supose to hear? censored music gets more adults and children 18- to download illegal music online just because its not censored. Maybe if there was more uncensored music at the stores older people would be able to buy them instead of getting illgal copies. Try going to the store, walmart or anyother stores its hard to find music without being censored. it realy does suck! maybe they should just make an age limit on who can buy the uncensored  music cd, maybe parents can just put locks on certin chanels on the televishion? you can do that people! its possible ^_^ Freedom of speech!! it rocks! wohoo!!

Windows 7 just might top the cake!

0

Category:

I’ve seen alot of previews and leaks from YouTube so I figured that I wanted to get my hands on Windows 7. I did some hunting for some information on “trying” out Windows 7 without even cracking it or whatnot. I didn’t really find any legal way but what I did find was a few bloggers that stated that P2P torrent engine’s had Windows 7 so they “tried” it.

I’m not going to say where, who, or how I got my version but I found one. Legal or not legal, I didn’t violate Microsoft’s TOS.

So here’s my little review.

  • I am going to buy Windows 7 when it comes out, why? Because how the whole interface is. When you first set up Windows 7, it’s faster and easier to set up than Windows Vista, you get this home comfort feeling. It almost feels like it’s a part of you.
  • The boot logo is FRIGGIN AWESOME! 4 little colored dots (red, green, blue, & yellow) spin around and meet to make the Windows logo.
  • The login page (where you enter your password) is the best ever! Like I said, it’s got this home feeling.
  • The desktop interface is the sleekest Windows as ever been!

Now let me talk about the awesome cool little features you’ll be able to use once you got it.

  • Having a full screen can sometimes be annoying. Windows 7 “kinda” fixes that. Move the mouse to the title-bar, left-click, drag down. It “Restores down) right there.
  • Don’t feel like aiming your mouse to the “Maximize” button once you got a small window? Left-click the title-bar and drag the window to the very top of the screen and let go of the mouse. It’ll maximize :)
  • Boring wallpaper? The wallpapers can change! Like a slideshow!

All in all, Microsoft really went all out on 7. Though I could have picked a different name like Windows Solar or Windows Essence something other than a number. I get why it’s called Windows 7 as it is the 7th major release of Windows but why “7”?

Ah, anywho. There’s my little review on Windows 7.

Please note, downloading illegal files of any kind from torrent sites is illegal. If it is free, more likely it has to be paid for. Don’t risk your time and freedom on such insane risks. Also note that the copy I got is a standard copy that has no cracked time. It expires within 30 days.

Christmas is coming!

0

Category: , , ,

It’s already December 21, 2008 and now with just 4 days until Christmas is here, I haven’t gotten what I wanted. Many of us already know that feeling. It feels bad. Especially when you really want to give something for someone you love and you just can’t because of the hard times we’re faced with right now.

But hey, money isn’t everything. It really is the thought that counts. Get your wife, husband, children and go out to the movies. Spend time with them and have a happy and jolly Christmas. Be happy and celebrate what’s important, your family.

My mother and father live on a fixed income and I try my best to help them but the stresses of needing money for just about everything really bums me down. Just for once, I wish one day everyone can have what they want and need for free. People are dying from AIDS, people have cancer’s that are incurable, people are poor and crippled. Just for one day, that’d make them the happiest people ever.

I’m not as cold hearted as I might have seemed in me other post about Mexican’s going back to where they come from, I just my opinions and feelings :)

There are children that don’t have a father to spend this holiday with, there are mother’s without their child’s fathers, there are kids without mothers and father’s of children without the mother. Think you’re going to have a bad Christmas? Don’t think that, Christmas is supposed to be happy. Don’t do it for yourself, do it for others. Give a gift to a homeless man, give a hug to a cancer victim, give happiness to a stranger :)

I really do wish everyone on this little planet called Earth a happy and a joyous Christmas.

And remember, don’t drink and drive. People want to get home safe and sound not go to the hospital for your actions :)

Peace be with everyone.

MySpace teams up with RIAA!

0

Category: , ,

MySpace blog announcement

Today, MySpace accounced the blocking of the ProjectPlaylist.com embeds. RIAA has been kicking ass when it comes to killing P2P and free music. Apparently it really hurts the RIAA when people download "illegal" and free music.

So why did MySpace make this move? MySpace is the most popular internet social network in the world. MySpace has music artists known and unknown to us normal people. The majority of those known and unknown music artists make millions of dollars per year on their music. Understandably, I'd be mad if people "stole" my creations. But an album that takes 3 months to make and makes me a few million dollars, I'd be happy to share for free. After I get back what I had to pay for, producers, CD making, editing, advertisements, etc.

ProjectPlaylist announcement

But think about this, those artists put up concerts. Concerts to me for them are a way to make even MORE money. Each seat in a concert is averaged at $70. In an average arena, it can seat 15,000 people. Not to mention those that are standing. Let's do some basic GED math :) $70 x 15,000 = 1,050,000. Each night, an artist or band makes one million and fifty thousand dollars ($1,050,000). Minus the payment to use it, which pays for security, food, and employee costs. We're now looking at, at least $900,000. That is PER concert, which when artists tour, that is about 50 concerts. $50,000,000 per year and they still have the damn nerve to complain!

That's not all, iTunes, Napster, MySpace, and other services that sell music give a portion to those artists. STINGY!

No wonder there are P2P MP3 download programs :)

With that said, MySpace along with the artists are in it for the $$$.

You decide. Comment, share, keep it uncensored!

Amnesty vs Border protection

0

Category: , , ,

Amnesty has been a big talk lately. So is it really a good thing or it's just a bad thing?

Consider what amnesty does. It provides illegal aliens freedom and protection from our country. Now consider what border protection does. It is supposed to stop incoming aliens and protect America's economy and safety. Yet America has both...

As far as I know, America is the only nation in the world that protects and kicks out illegal immigrants.

I strongly support anti-amnesty for a few reasons.


  1. Amnesty brings non tax paying people to America. They get money from us and don't pay back

  2. Every time one gets hurt, we PAY not them or their government.

  3. What happens when a child is born from amnesty parents? They stay here.

  4. Spanish is becoming America's second language.


Now before you start calling me a racist son of a b!tch, know one thing, I am a hispanic/mutt. I was born to a 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 Indian mother and my father is 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 African-American. Before you talk, know who I am. I just don't like my tax money going to rich people and Mexican's that claim they are looking for jobs. Because all of us know deep inside that illegal Mexican's are just here for better things that they don't have in Mexico.

Wanna be a US citizen, earn it! Time is a vurtue, time isn't what illegals want.

That's my say... I know everyone has their opinions, unleash them. Comment your thoughts.

Fla. police close books on '81 Walsh killing - Yahoo! News

Category: , , , ,

Time is of the utmost precious thing anyone can ever cling to when something so tragic as losing a child and later finding out your only child has been murdered. John Walsh, the host "America's Most Wanted," was in tears and thankful for the detectives for finding the killer of Adam Walsh, son of John Walsh.

The news aired on CNN news and MSNBC by as far as I know.

The murderer of Adam Walsh, Ottis Toole, died in prison for murders unrelated to Adam Walsh's murder. He was serving 5 life sentences for those other murders.

Toole had confessed of the murder to his niece while Toole was in his deathbed.

Bush ducks the shoes

1

Category: , , , , , , ,

Well this is an expected blog post here :) As some of you already know, Bush was attacked! Well not really. He was attacked with a pair of nice Iraqi shoes.

The soon to be former President Bush made an unannounced press conference in Baghdad, Iraq on Monday December 15, 2008 when in the middle of it a pretty pissed off Iraqi news corespondent threw his shoes at the President of the United States. Apparently, the sole of the shoe is supposed to be an outraged insult from one Iraqi to another. Sadly Bush isn't an Iraqi and ducked, not one, but two of the shoes.

The Iraqi news corespondent was quickly tackled by Bush's little guards and taken away from the area.

You just don't know how much it makes me laugh just to see Bush scared of a shoe. Sadly, and most of you can agree with me, Bush was NOT hit by the two shoes. If he was, this would be BIG TIME NEWS all around the world. "Mr. Bush hit and given a black eye by a shoe." "An insult was given to Bush in the most extreme of Iraqi terms." Do you know how the USA would look of our Bush got hit? He's already an idiot, he would have made all of America look like idiots!

The Yawn Explained: It Cools Your Brain : Discovery News

0

Category: , , , ,

A new study found out, kinda, why we yawn... As we all know, at least most of us, the brain is more or less like a computer. It has the power to run multiple calculations and tasks at one time. A task that not even a room full of the world's most powerful computers can handle. All that power makes heat. Well, the study says that the reason why we yawn is because our brain is heating up. I for one did notice that when I breath through my nose, my yawning stops. This is because fresh or cooled air is in contact with the base of the brain and dispersing that coolness to the rest of the brain.

A Day without Gays harms the cause

0

Category:

Today was the Day without Gays.  The point of this day was to bring attention to homosexual contributions to this country.  I think this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, and one of the biggest contradictions I've heard in months.

Gay rights are stupid if you ask me.  And no, it's not because I'm some bigot from West Virginia or something like that - actually, quite the opposite - I'm a very tolerant and loving Christian, as my Bible tells me to be.  Gay rights are stupid because drawing attention onto a group of people via a label creates more animosity than it addresses.  It is blatantly obvious that you cannot support "gay rights" without being overzealously supportive, and you cannot oppose these "rights" without being overzealously bigoted and spiteful.

I believe there is one solution to this problem - individualism.  Individualism is the cornerstone of liberty - the more we understand that we are all unique, that there is no one person like us, that there is no fair reason or way to group similar people with us, the better off we are.  Collectivism has all but destroyed this country, and it is time that it be rid of completely, to preserve what's left of this once-great Republic.

Individualism wouldn't do away with prejudices completely in this country, I understand.  I know that all our problems won't go away overnight.  But we have to learn that we are all unique and that we have to stop grouping people together so much.  If you are gay, you need to act and think on your own, rather than take your marching orders from the "leaders of the gay community," who care much more about your money than your well-being, just as the leaders of any minority community.

Now, this ties into gay rights very well when you sit and think for a moment.  The pseudo-right wing* wants to ban gay marriage on the federal level, and the left wing wants to make gay marriage legal on the federal level.  Both are tyranny in the worst form.  The true solution is one people NEVER think of these days: get the government out completely.

Government marriage is a violation of the separation of church and state anyway, because these marriage licenses exist only so that Christian couples who were not of the same race who wanted a church marriage could get one legally.  Note the word "Christian."  Today, we have atheists obtaining Christian marriages for tax benefits, which is against both the Bible and the Constitution, because that's basically having a state-sponsored religion, and that's having non-Christians take Christian oaths.  We need to stop this practice now, before gay people have the right to marry, because it is NOT liberty as you perceive it.  Gay people should have the right to love whomever they choose, but neither homosexuals nor heterosexuals should have to obtain a marriage license to love.

Not to mention another probable government practice that will arise: branding and tracking.  Sure, two people of the same gender will have the "right" to marry, but one thing I fear is a homophobic president who would have all these gay couples rounded up and sent to forced labor camps or something for their beliefs.  (Research REX 84 and Operation Garden Plot - the camps are not a figment of my imagination.)

The best way to live in this country is without government tracking, without labels and collective judgments.  Gay people have the same rights as everyone else; to realize this truth, the homosexuals of America should cast away their zealous quest of "gay marriage," and the bigots of America should cast away their zealous hatred of those who are gay.

One more note before I draw this first entry to a close.  Christians, more so than anyone else, should realize that prejudice is wrong (only God has that power, which He will use on Judgment Day).  In the Bible, the first book of the New Testament is Matthew.  In the seventh chapter of the book, Jesus says this:

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Also, as far as the individualism argument, the Bible also has these to say: the first from 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, the second from the same chapter of the book, but from verse 27:
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Christians, keep a note of that; it might come in handy one day, one day soon.  And everyone remember that we are individuals, not members of groups; America could improve unbelievably quickly if we all kept that in mind.

Another Bush?

0

Category: , ,

As if we need a reminder of Bush in Obama, the US Supreme Court turned down the review of Obama's citizenship. Meaning they don't wanna look at it. I figured that if any court, it'd be the Supreme Court that'd want to look into matters like this.

"WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth. The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election."

I don't know how that man would know, but he says he knows. Kinda reminds me of Bush's take over back in 2000.

I know you guys have your comments, share them here :)

You know, it's funny how people react to me when I tell them that I'm confused when it comes to religion. They ask, "what religion are?" I honestly tell them, "I don't know." Then they ask something along the lines of, "Do you believe in God?" At this point the kinda start taking steps back and I tell them, "Not the so called loving God that's in the Bible." And in the end, I really don't know what I am between Atheist, Agnostic, or Deist. But in the end, they look at me like a murderer. I bet if I were a murderer turned religious they'd accept me.

Yahoo! Messenger was down for service

Category:

Well as if Yahoo! Messenger users weren't mad enough already, Yahoo! had an unfortunate power issue.

"We are performing maintenance on our systems due to an unplanned
power equipment issue at one of our third-party co-location facilities." - Yahoo Messenger Blog

Sadly it took Yahoo! just shy under 3 hours to get it fixed. This time though, I don't blame Yahoo! or Yahoo! Messenger for this mishap. I know the stresses this might have caused when the servers have issues.

Reading through the comments, I saw and felt anger through the comments. This really pissed off some usres. I personally didn't feel the brunt of it  because I was sleeping and counting sheep.

Do rest assured though, Yahoo! being a big company does have alot at stake. Making their users mad can cost them business. One thing I am still mad about though is that Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.0.2034, it is the buggiest Yahoo! Messenger 9 has ever been. Sadly enough, Yahoo! Messenger cut off the Vista version of Yahoo! Messenger. Vowing never bring it back...

Please give Yahoo! "some" slack. Don't burn down the Yahoo! headquarters, just convey your anger to how you use Yahoo! Messenger. This is probably the best advise I can give to all Yahoo! Messenger users.

Other alternatives to Yahoo! Messenger are Pidgin or Trillian

Opera 10 Alpha is up for testing!

Category: , , ,

On December 4, 2008 Opera released Opera 10.00 Alpha for testing. I just got the message for it kinda late, 3AM to be exact. I downloaded it, tested it, and recorded my preview. So far, I'm blogging from Opera 10.00 Alpha and there's no real big issues. Besides the little screen break that happens.



I did notice that while I installed it, it was to be installed under a different folder so I assumed that it wasn't going to overwrite me Opera 9.62 but it did. Ido warn that if you plan to install Opera 10 Alpha, backup your old Opera and your Opera bookmarks. Because my Opera bookmarks were removed and replaced with the default Opera bookmarks.

All in all, I give this little program a 4 out of 5 stars :) Even though it is in Alpha stage.

Yahoo! teasing Vista users?

0

Category: , ,

Feedback Although it's been a month already since Yahoo! Messenger completely cut Yahoo! Messenger for Vista, they are still advertising it. It's a sad thought that a company that promises a product, cuts it away from it's users, then still tease us users later with it.

I prefer to call this "falsely advertising" because they still advertise us to get Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Beta even though it's no longer offered. If you are on a Vista machine, go to http://downloads.yahoo.com/ and scroll down to the Yahoo! Messenger download box. It says Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Beta. It is no longer being offered though Yahoo! still has it up. If you click the Download button, you'll go the download page of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.

Now if you click the back button of your browser and then click "More Info" where the advertisement of Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Beta you'll see:

Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Beta
This version of Yahoo! Messenger
is built from the ground up for
Windows Vista. Enjoy new
emoticons, tabbed conversations
and a new sidebar gadget that
allows you to always keep tabs on
your closest friends.
Go to Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Beta

False Advertisement

It says nothing about getting Yahoo! Messenger 9.0. Seems like false advertisement to me :)

So should we, the Vista users who were led to believe and hoped for a new Vista only product, sue Yahoo!? I think that's going to far. I think we should finally boycott Yahoo!

This is now a war, Vista users VS Yahoo! Deception should not go unattended. Falsely advertising products should be the last thing on the minds of  a big corperate company like Yahoo! They failed us once and now they are lying.

Boycott Yahoo!

WMD attack in 5 years is "likely"

Category: , ,

We all know how secure our nukes are. Get near a nuke base and you'll get warned and escorted out... Get passed the guards and chances are you'll leave in a body bag before you even get close enough to see the nukes. Well a new "report" came out stating that a WMD (nuclear, biological, or a chemical) attack is "likely" within the next 5 years.

Personally, I don't know who those people who did the report talk to, but doesn't it sound like a little bit of propaganda? Obama, a newbie, is now elected as president and now this? Check this out, "A commission set up by the US Congress is due to reveal that America's "margin of safety" is shrinking, not growing." - BBC News

Creepy huh? I guess Mr. Bush didn't really work that one out to his advantage, yet what has he worked to his advantage let alone ours? I personally think this is a scary thought if it is to be a real report. Why? Because our attempts to secure ourselves has failed. America, has spent so much money, billions upon billions, to be secured. From our Mexican border to our Canadian border, which Mexican's and Canadian's can still walk across to the USA, from our Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico ports to our Pacific ports. Left and right, new agencies being created to fight "terrorism."

But I ain't really worried about our nukes, I'm really worried about the ones Iran "might" have and the ones that Pakistan has which aren't as secure as they say.

I guess the old, diabetic, 6 foot tall Arab, bin Laden hasn't learned his lesson. Years of running still don't click to him. I'm sure the government is going to blame him. Geez, I should blame him for a flat tire I got last week...

Yet all in all, I'd say it's just a propaganda slug aimed at us American's. A way to test to see what our new future president will do.

Out with the old, in with the new!

As of today, December 02, 2008, we've discontinued our old blog hosted by Blogspot.  We aren't mad at Blogger or Google, they were our birthplace of Thoughts Uncensored. We just discontinued it because some people were asking if our old blog was a hijack of this one. Generally, you'd think the same if you see the same posts found here on another blog.

We'd like to thank Google for having Blogger. Without it, we'd never have a voice.

Though there are many pros to having a Blogger hosted blog. The host is free, you never pay for anything. And well you can post and post as much as you want. With pros there are cons, the only con that we know about is the lack of a personal domain (http://www.thoughtsuncensored.com/) instead you only get (http://example.blogspot.com/).

It isn't much to get a domain and still have free hosting from Blogger. Go to GoDaddy.com and sign up for a domain name ($1.99/year) and follow the instructions Blogger has on how to link your domain name to Blogger. Easy!

So we hope to see more freethinking bloggers going on Blogger, or getting a domain and hosting from GoDaddy.
