Life is life. It will be tough or it will be easy. Dad, like the rest of
us tried but couldn't do much, so he made the choice to rise above our
differences and show us how to put other people's needs before our own and
pursue eternal life. [In remembrance of}
I am convinced a strong nation is true to their heritage.
The feds have made it a hassle/more work to hire people. In the past
you could hire somebody and give them a chance. Now they (the people and
the employer) have to meet government standards and all sorts of
conditions before a hire.
I'm convinced a strong nation follows their heritage.
You want proof that God exists. Look at that door. Knock on that
table. The reality is they do not exist. That's how far our illusions is
from the truth. Matter is pure energy and we perceive a solid.
"In the beginning was the Word, ... and all things were made by him,
and without him was not any thing made that was made."
So exactly now, what is the force holding that thing together that we
think is matter? I think it's left up to you to decide. Is it possible
in another reality we could walk through that door?
Nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts for even a few years.
Do you realize we have Americans who are fighting for their
independence and institutions that want to run our lives?
Everything seems to dissolve into the details. We try and discuss it, but
it dissolves into meaningless chaos and there is no conclusion.
We're always fighting the will of others.
Son, don't let testosterone drive you. Daughter, don't let estrogen
manipulate you. Let your mind be your guide.
Most of us want something for nothing because we don't have anything.
We have to jump off the flaming rocket of progress sooner or later and
grab onto something practical.
Rust totaled my car.
Our 'get-rich-quick' heritage.
There are choices, decisions, events, life styles that transcend
generations. These are multi-generational and necessary for the
continuance of a civilization.
There is no place peaceful where there are people.
The 'Power of Positive Thinking' genre, a powerful movement in America
during the fifties, sixties and seventies, allows people to have faith.
It 'tickles their ears' but allows them to have faith.
The reason we have property lines is because we can't trust one another.
In utopia, however, no one will be dishonest and we will be able to erase
property lines.
I can only find one absolute in this world and that is that Jesus
Christ is Lord. Jesus is the only one who can save us from the ravages of
humanities natural state, the world and death.
I don't think we have any concept of who we are. We live on this
fragile little planet protected from the natural universe that can wipe us
out in an instant. 1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. ... 3) All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made.
Y2K was a dry run on how to panic the public.
First they took away the glass jars and steel cans. Now they're taking
away plastic bags. Does this represent the progression of corporate
capitalism?
90 day lieutenants.
Someone will say something matter-of-factly and it will be earth
shattering. Or rather someone will say something quietly and calmly and
it is a very important powerful matter. The one's speaking quietly are
the one's we should listen to. The ones in the corner, not trying to draw
attention to themselves, are the one's with the most important things to
say.
Do the Angels, in their compassion, look down on mankind knowing they,
the humans, must each experience great pain?
The 'they' is us.
The public is being manipulated like puppets with the media. The
powers that be throw out a few key words and the public reacts in a
predicted manner. More and more this power is being used effectively in
this information age.
Is greed universal? When a small business owner starts making money, a
hard earned profit, do they want to make more money out of greed? Do they
want to make more money to be a better person to their community, society?
Homosexuality is an aberration of an immoral society. The internet, most
lately, has perverted society into unnatural ways.
How do you begin your day?
Information and surveillance is dangerous because we have a suspicious and
paranoid culture where the group mentality is primitive.
People take note of other people's activities. Think about this. What
conclusions do they draw? What else affects their conclusions. The note
they took becomes etched in stone and is cast from their own personal
makeup.
One thing I notice about the Wall Street mecca built in our
neighborhood is that there are no do-it-yourself stores, except for home
depot. There are no auto part stores, no other hardware stores, no hobby
stores. The mecca only targets consumerism.
Science is an attempt at civilization. The output of science, its
production, is manipulated by the rich who take possession.
Human nature is such that it always wants to rewrite history. The
question for us should be: do we want to build upon history or tear it
down?
People want to do what's right and good. Let's let them.
The word concision was used by Joseph Green???, the [editor/director]
of the late night news show, Night Line to mean you can't say it in a
sound byte [generally paraphrased]. Concision fits nicely into propaganda
models to bury complex ideas.
A few centuries of civilization have decided that marriage is between a
man and a women. All of a sudden this generation has a better idea.
The slice of time when he had the power to move about in. The slice
of time when our ideas were dominant. The slice of time when we had
strength. What did we do with our slice of time?
Laws and regulations sound like a 'nice' good idea when our politicians
discuss them, but then mean vindictive people enforce them.
Christ is the only one without sin.
Times are such that we don't see the obvious.
The first prejudice we run into, in our modern day media society is
newness. People expect new clothes, a fresh appearance, because they are
conditioned by the media.
When it comes to the modern day internet people don't know what they've
lost.
Pride and arrogance is so pervasive that we can't see it. Yet it rules
our lives.
I believe in heritage, social fabric and Romans chapter one.
Re car repair. Wet weather saps the battery around here, but hair spray
works really good to seal battery terminals. What brand would you like:
Poufon Boof or Macho Mist?
A normal paragraph starts with the first line indented, typically five
space, they told us in typing class. I'd like to try the procrastinator
paragraph. It starts indention after the first line rather than just
having the first line indented. The first line is flush with the left
margin, to indicate the start of a new thought, and all the rest of the
lines of the paragraph are indented two or three spaces.
Do you think the 'silver bullet' concept in the I.T. industry revolved
around the array and matrix. The general thinking seemed to be an
algorithm could be applied to elements of the array and the overall
environment would be affected. Did it ever happen?
The Bible weaves a fabric for society, civilization, government and
purpose for humanity. It is a magnificent fabric, the only hope for the
survival of humankind.
I am says you are.
Sci-fi plot. Two universes preparing to wage war. The start of the war
is based on an ongoing argument between two people on earth.
A simple statement says it all.
Let the government manage resources, not people.
Can a society exist if people don't love their neighbor as they love
themselves?-
What's your heritage tell you to do?
In a free society we wouldn't need customer service because the clerk's
opinion would be just as valuable as the customer's.
Thank goodness we were so ugly we couldn't get VD.
The people censored THEMSELVES on the internet. I think we should take
note. We've just seen a new age. With this information age where mankind
spread its wings to enter its next metamorphosis we have a rare glimpse
into human nature. Many have striven to create, build and grow with this
new information tool, the internet, while all are are subject to suspicion
and thus impose their censorship. Now we see political forces take down
what could have been a lifting of humanity and corporate scavengers have
taken over.
There's just not enough time to develop an idea during a conversation in
this media/information age.
This is the slice of time we live in. What are you doing with it?
It takes community to raise beauty and strength otherwise, often,
beauty devalues itself and strength spends itself
Community is too complicated for us to understand without our religion.
They were not very appreciative when someone recognized their genius.
Sci-fi concept: They were a land of giants, maybe ten feet tall. All
the children were raised near the Dead Sea, the lowest elevation on Earth,
because of the higher concentration of oxygen in the air and fed a puree
designed by their biologists.
We do what we can with pride and dignity but government (or collective
consciousness) takes that away.
People are abusing their police state privilege by accusing their
neighbor on a whim.
Evolution is speculation.
People rarely seek out the wise person in the room. They're busy
socializing and don't stop to think that the person who isn't saying
anything, until they're asked, has wisdom and knowledge for them.
It's not because of ones and zeros that make computers hard to
understand, but because people don't understand how the data is stored in
on the hard drive, in files. Once a person realizes how important file
extensions are to different software packages that call them, then they
too can become the wizard, grand pooh pah, master of the computer.
When in a group, with a question and answer period, have people write
their questions down. Otherwise, commonly, someone will make the mistake
of babbling and may even change the topic.
Some people joke about the details of an agreement in order to gain
advantages for themselves. They are nothing more than thieves.
America is the only nation that liberty is not bestowed by the
government but by the creator God. Thus it can not be taken away by
government. [Hal Lindsey]
To often, in our world, man has forfeited his freedom in exchange for a
governments promise of perpetual security. The more services a government
supplies the more of our freedom it demands in return. [Hal Lindsey]
Our democratic society has become irrational because everyone yields to
an authority no one takes responsibility for.
People are always happier where there are a lot of trees around. So why
do developers take everything down to the sub-soil when they build a block
of houses? The suburbs are misery compared to the woods when it comes to
a place to live.
You know, you really need a kitchen attached to your computer so you can
use it properly.
Is America blessed because it defends the innocent?
Are you yourself when you're around other people?
The truth is fast fading into history.
Corporate profits and security go hand in hand, bed fellows. In other
words, the public is sold a 'bill of goods' in the interest of cyber,
computer or ID security.
Stocks go up when the price of labor goes down. Wall street is the
enemy of the working man
The Lord speaks to multiple generations. Raising children goes beyond
our mortal existence of one generation. When consenting adults agree to
have a child they are making a societal, multi-generation decision that
must be backed with family, community and society.
Just as an example look what happened to desktop printer ink. You used
to be able to buy a bottle of ink for a couple of dollars and re-ink you
dot matrix ribbon dozens of times. Now we spend five thousand dollars an
ounce for printer ink. Internet bandwidth is going the same way.
People will draw conclusions from their own experiences, and you can't
ask for anything more, but their own experience includes the propaganda of
the media, government, and business.
People are monsters, to each other, because they judge each other by
their appearance.
What would happen if you got a workforce together that wanted to work
with the best in each other?
The bravado associated with the construction industry has contributed
to the pillaging of our natural resources.
I once bought a box of one thousand aluminum can blanks. Another time
I bought a case of fourteen pound paper, ten reams, I think that were a
thousand sheets per ream. Now I can't find it anywhere except I see it
used in commercial products. I suspect that no one is willing to place an
order that small, one case or box. Instead, since canning has moved
overseas and office supply box stores only sell 20LB paper for computer
printers, no wants to place an order unless it's for a container load.
Surveillance does not grow an independent society it grows a dependent
society.
Surveillance takes responsibility away from the individual and casts
it to the government. We're already starting to see 'politically correct'
speech enforced. How far out of the norm can an individual wander without
coming into conflict with regulations. A community with developed
responsibility will discuss character with the individual. A society
that relies on the government won't.
Legalization of homosexual marriage has crumbled one of the
cornerstones of our civilization. Homosexual marriage was sold to us as a
benefit, privacy, and hospital visitation privilege. So why did they have
to use the marriage certificate. Couldn't society of just carbon copied
the rights onto a partner certificate. I think this attack on the
institution of marriage rather that parallel privilege indicates the
intent of the gay movement.
One thing about human nature if is there is even a hint of a liability
or an inconvenience people will avoid it like the plague.
Community and now family has been demolished by our industrial and now
technological age. What was once four generations raising children under
one roof, and interacting with their community, is now fragmented to the
point where even in the household members do not communicate. Now the
final demise of family and community is legalization of homosexual
marriage. Not only can we not go back to a healthy society with values,
morals and ethics raised by a community with family values, but the
definition itself of a healthy society has been attacked with the
legalization of homosexual marriage.
If there was any humanity, if there's any humanity when people meet, then
one person will extend to the other some measure of dignity.
2013. It bothers me that tax preparer ads on TV are bright and cheery,
designed to sell us their service, and this year we cross the boundary
from freedom into bondage because of the new health regulations. The new
regulations are a big deal. Free Americans, who don't have health care
will have to pay a fine, now, to the IRS. The ads are brain washing the
public, not to mentions a myriad of other details in the 2800 page act.
There's even one ad where the girl posing as a tax preparer says she's
read the 900 pages of new regulations.
While the public has been miserly, over the last decades, the
government has been spending more and more money to the point now, where
all the efforts of our grand parents and our great great grand parents
have gone in vain as we struggle to pay the debt our Federal Government
has put us in.
While the public has been miserly the government has been loose with their
money.
Yea I've seen how you guys appreciate the arts. If it doesn't have a tits
and an ass you don't know if it exists.
The politics and interactions of the work place are far more caustic than
we give them credit for.
Are people going to be able to separate themselves from multi-tasking once
they learn to sequential-task?
We don't vote. We ratify.
People take responsibility away from the community by calling an 'expert'.
What?! Are you going to listen to the wisdom and knowledge of one
generation, this generation, or are you going to listen to the knowledge
and wisdom of many generations, this and all that went before it?
I think that when people buy a property they ought to be required to
talk to the neighbors about the history of the property. Community is
lost when property changes hands and the greed of the real estate boom
killed a lot of community.
The only way for civilization to advance is to enhance community. You
can't move into a house, a vacant lot, a building, without affecting other
people around the neighborhood. There are over a hundred people per
square mile on the dirt of this planet and we're spilling over like full
glass of water. You drop a person into a geographical location and other
people must move over to make room.
The demoralization of democracy has led us to take the margins of
competitiveness away setting us up as a less competitive society morally
and economically. Great nations rise and fall and we're following our
moral decay to destruction. Wa. State Dec. 06, 2012.
Awe yes! The generation that's more technologically savvy [gen x]. But
do they know how it works?
There's one concept in learning that will make you smarter than all the
rest: paraphrase. After you read through something, say a paragraph or a
chapter, get in the habit of paraphrasing what you just read. Go over it
in your mind, as you best remember it. Then the meaning and the
information will stay with you much longer, maybe forever, and you can
build upon it with all the information you gather. Don't you wonder why
they never taught you that in public school.
Insurance companies don't bring protection but extortion.
Burn bans are an attack on the poor. The only fuel source many of us
have any control over is firewood. Our heritage is over a wood fire. If
we protest we must fear our address is targeted to fined, by now infrared
cameras, DOE, EPA. It only makes sense that giant energy corporations are
pushing and even lobbying to eliminate competition from firewood.
The dandelion, treated as a blight by modern day suburbanites, is actually
a gift from our forefathers who intentionally brought this edible plant
with them in order to survive in the New World. Now the plant has gone
from a yard care weed killing target to recognition as an invasive
species. I think it provides a good example of how our values change over
time.
Community no longer exists so people rely on 1 800 numbers, anonymous
complaining or 'report on your neighbor' apps to solve their problems.
It's the hard work of old, but be a hero and do what you can to solve
local problems. Don't call the government to solve your problems unless
you want to give up freedom.
Granted, a lot of people will gafaw at this, especially in this 'point
and click' instant gratification age, but in the old days people used to
work a life time building community and a strong social fabric. The
nation with the strong social fabric will prevail. Do you part.
By nature people develop a sense of safety. When the government offers
public safety they subtract from a person's natural sense of safety.
The computer industry is full of people who fail or are unwilling to
communicate their thought processes and these people have been relied upon
to develop important and widely used software.
During the seventies there was an enthusiasm to communicate with each
other about ideas and innovations in computer technology and again in the
infancy of the internet. Now there is a lack of enthusiasm under the
corporate structure where people are forced into the drudgery of coding
and find it difficult to make the extra effort to effectively communicate.
All these people who want to sit around planning, discussing and talking
about it, but they rarely seem to be around to do the work.
People use it everyday, but I don't think they understand what money
is, what currency is.
