I keep thinking of the douchebag in the former post, and I realized one thing: Their goals can only be accomplished through force and coercion.  The man that communism and socialism was designed for....doesn't exist.  Humans have individual needs and wants.  And amidst the talk of equality - who is she or anyone else to say what we can or can't have?   Not only that - unless we are unarmed and have the means to protect ourselves....she can never achieve her goals.  Ever.  Because we have means to fight back....

Just a thought....or a few thoughts....so - here's some quotes on guns:

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

3. Colt: The original point and click interface.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

8. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.

11. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you not understand?

12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

Just another idiot who needs to be duct taped, gagged and thrown in a ditch and covered - the sewage that comes out of her mouth would be very pleasing to the nationalist socialists or any marxist who started a revolution by killing millions in the name of peace....

What she doesn't realize - because she's too stupid obviously - clearly mentally unstable - is our system CAN provide anything - it's the corrupt unions and government agencies that keep us from being able to provide it all to everyone because they take it from people while claiming they need more and then blaming the capitalists for the problems they cause. Actually - duct taping her mouth would be a waste of tape....just bury her.

Bury her before her ideas grab hold and we can't manufacture the duct tape to tape her up with or the shovels to bury her with.....

Yes - white men are under represented in society.  I don't know of a single scholarship I can get based on my race.

Any other race?  Go for it!   But, yes, there is a white-male-scholarship now!  And in Texas of all places: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1361139/Texas-group-launches-scholarship-white-men-ONLY--need-equal-shot.html

This is where I think the "minorities" got sold a boat load of crap.    Told they are "equal" and therefore need special treatment because they simply don't have what it takes to succeed and won't ever be successful without a crutch or special treatment.

I don't think all "minorities" buy into the race crap though.  In fact, most of my friends who are not white in this country realize just how much a load of crap the race movement is.  I don't know a single one of them who feels "inferior" to white people because of simply their color.  My friends who aren't white are very capable individuals and it's not because of or despite their skin color.  Actually - in one form or another I think they are all more successful than I am.

Yet another late-night, gratuitous, unoriginal but funny-to-me autocorrect fail - nothing like discussing the large matters in life over text.

Ok, this is me yesterday evening at the Champagne Conversation event that took place at the poolside of Eko Hotel. I had a great time. Only, mission not accomplished...same faces, no new meat...you know naw...lol.

Hope you guys like my outfit. I don't do skirts...haven't worn one in years, but decided to try it out for this occasion. Was going for the 'mature look'. Think I pulled it off? But common, you gotta admit, I'm stepping up my game! lol. If only I can stay away from black!
 
Anyway, I'm off to Enugu in a few hours for my TV Reality Show judging gig. Not going with my laptop so there will be no blogging till I get back on Wednesday. But comments will be uploaded. (via my phone). So enjoy all the other fabulous blogs while I'm gone. Don't miss me too much...*wink*
Catch you guys soon.
Kisses.

In regards to the post from yesterday on when to rely on experts and when to trust our gut - I thought I'd comment on home-schooling this morning in regards to a thought I had while watching a family movie on TV that my daughter loves as I got ready for church. 

Our children are home-schooled by my wife.   I went to a public school.  My wife did half and half of public and home.  I think that rounds us out as a family in order to have a good discussion about it.

The number one concern people express to us is "what about socialization?" in terms of children being home schooled.

What about socialization?

I know I've commented on it before but I thought I'd ask....what socialization do we see in school that is so superior to children being raised in a healthy and loving family?

Where is it?

When I look at teens and children, where are the role models today?   Peers who look to media on sex and morals and who's parents aren't in their lives either?

What kind of a recipe for character development is that?

I drove by Tualatin High School yesterday - or the day before - scoping out the swimming pool for work activities.  I saw a sign hanging up in the main entrance above everything that said "EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!"

break room

I laughed.  Who takes those seriously?  Why should I? If I'm in school - why should I exceed someone else's expectations? Why?  How about "lower expectations" so it's easier to achieve them?

I just - I hate the slogans that are supposed to motivate you - but really just is a means to keep me from troubling someone else but really aren't about my life in any depth - the kind you see about teamwork in crappy breakrooms at crappy jobs everywhere.

At any rate, the family really is the best means of support - for contrast I've compared a break room with a family room in terms of support and wholesomeness - realizing that both of these are someone's idea of what we need for support and sustainence to help us become and do what we care capable of - I see the difference....and that's why I think home-schooling is better because the support and recognition are better.

family room

Thanks to my wife for pushing this with me and being able to show me this is better and she can do a better job!  Our kids deserve it.

Love the look. It's different. And the dress is by....? Please supply the answer if you know...

She was Most beautiful Girl in Nigeria, 1989. Still looking stunning in her 40's. She's also a mother of four and married to designer, Kese Jabari.

Toyin Raji was Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 1995. Still gorgeous after so many years.

This was an entertaining story found at random on the net on what it's like being tasered....

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.

I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.??

AWESOME!!!?

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.??

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right?! !??

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong???

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another.

The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.? ? All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!"??

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...? ? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one- second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button,?and??

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!??

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner , then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again.

I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs?

The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, stupid, do it again!"??

Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself!

You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.

A three-second burst would be considered conservative??

SON-OF-A-... That hurt like **% !!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles! I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!! Still in shock!!

P. S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!?

"If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid."

Dear Students,

I know when you're texting.

Sincerely, no one just looks down at their crotch and smiles. 

I really don't have a whole hell of a lot to say on our government, it's corrupt, local issues are so common sense as to be stupid....so I am still doing humor or just amusement a lot lately.  UNLESS....you count the wisdom and knowledge gained from watching the following as fitting some aspect of the mantra of Simplybecauseitis.  I dunno...I'll leave it up to you to decide.... 

Tanzanian Model

I told y'all about a recent survey that claims the most beautiful black women can be found in Nigeria. People from Tanzania totally disagreed. Well, they've sent in pics of women (beauty queens, models and regular chicks) from Tanzania to support their argument. Check them out and tell us if you agree they are more beautiful than Nigerian women.

Regular chicks

Don't take this too seriously or too personal. Let's just have fun with it...:-).
More pics of Tanzanian women after the cut...

 

  Beauty queens...

 

 

Regular chick

So you agree?

Friends and family are mourning the death of a North Texas woman who was shot and killed as she returned home from her job as a nurses aid. Eunice Nzelu was the victim of an apparent robbery in the parking lot of a far northeast Dallas apartment complex. Police are still searching for the shooter.

I guess nowhere is really safe. You just rely on God to keep you safe.
May she RIP.

Oh dear! We need to do something about our image man...this is absolutely not the way the world should see us.

Some of this is racey - but then - you know being a parent - you get to that point where you're finally like "whatever" and just say "here ya go..."

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who is 86, has just announced $37bn in benefits to lower and middle income Saudis. The package includes pay rises, unemployment benefit and affordable housing. The daughter of the former Saudi oil minister, Sheikh Yamani, Dr Mai Yamani explains why the king is lavishing money on his people and why this gesture might not satisfy the demands of the country's young people. Scared of a revolution?

Mile Long UFO - The best bloopers are a click away

Obama campaigned for the Defense of Marriage act, swore an oath on the bible to uphold the laws of America and now is saying that he's not going to protect the defense of marriage act or try to defend against those who break the law because he doesn't like it - impeachable offense?  I certainly believe so!
