Sue the bloggers!

Yes, that is actually a “plan” to “save” the media’s financial crisis! “Improving the media,” and “telling the truth,” didn’t make the list, folks! Their scheme is to SUE us! And for what?! Why, for “copyright infringement,” that elusive, amorphous, wonderful magical mix of legal nonsense that changes every couple of decades!

It USED to be that “copyright infringement” meant that one person stole the works of others and claimed it as their own. You know– like, steal the top secret plans of the inner workings of a PS3 and sell it as something you yourself created. Today, “copyright infringement” is the mere passing along of information! Such as, copying and pasting from a news story online to “prove” a point or to quote someone. That’s copyright infringement?!?!?!??! IDIOTS. I’d posted about this before– I KNEW this was coming! You can’t even HUM a SONG on YouTube without being slammed.

I would love to copy and paste the news story from Wired regarding this “discovery” of how to “save” the media’s bankrolls… but I may get sued for copyright “infringement”! So what’s a blogger to do? Go and look for it yourself.

Kids these days. Holy cow. Look at this news story!

Security guards posted at Buffalo city pools after rowdy teens pull in lifeguard

BUFFALO — Armed security guards have been posted at public pools in Buffalo after a lifeguard was pulled into the water by rowdy teenagers and other unruly behavior prompted safety concerns for parks employees.

The city’s eight public outdoor pools were shut down last Thursday after fights broke out and a locker room was vandalized.

At one pool, a 16-year-old lifeguard says she was yanked by her ankles into the water when he tried to restore order. She says she struck her head on a drain and then was repeatedly dunked by several teenagers until another lifeguard rescued her…. read rest of story here.

These aren’t “rowdy” teens. This is getting dangerous now.

I hope that lifeguard and others have plenty of term life insurance. A CONCUSSION they gave her! They nearly drowned her!!!! This is unconscionable. And it isn’t just a bunch of unruly kids fooling around– this is a plague, circulating through the youth like an infectious disease. It’s enough to warrant SECURITY GUARDS being posted!! I hope you social engineers are happy! This is the kind of generation you’ve got because you all wanted to be “free” from moral restraints and “religion.” Shame on you for ignoring what wise men before us have said:

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other. -John Adams

Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe. -James Madison

We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel. -Benjamin Franklin

Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime & pure, [and] which denounces against the wicked eternal misery, and [which] insured to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments. -Charles Carroll, Signer of the Declaration

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars…The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and cherish them….Let it simply be asked, “Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert?”…And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds…reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. -George Washington

WHAT kind of IDIOTS are in our government, will someone please tell me?? These people are so stupid, their brains are leaking from their noses. That, or they are tyrannical, wicked, control-freaks. You choose. Probably both. Just because someone has an online college degree doesn’t make them SMART.

The government is going to block “controversial websites.”

So much for freedom of speech, eh?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is blocking certain websites from the federal agency’s computers, including halting access by staffers to any Internet pages that contain a “controversial opinion,” according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.

The email was sent to all TSA employees from the Office of Information Technology on Friday afternoon.

It states that as of July 1, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed “inappropriate for government access.”

The categories include:
Chat/Messaging
Controversial opinion
Criminal activity
Extreme violence (including cartoon violence) and gruesome content
Gaming

The email does not specify how the TSA will determine if a website expresses a “controversial opinion.”

Oh it’s a GOOOOOD thing they’re still allowing cartoon violence, gee! (P.S. What the heck are they DOING with “cartoon violence” and “gaming” on federal agency computer’s anyway?!?

And does anyone see a big problem here– namely, that porn is not “controversial” content?! HELLO!?!!? They are banning “controversial opinion” but not porn?!? Everyone knows that porn is very prevalent among federal agency computer use. Ohhh but THAT’s OK! It’s not “controversial” like those Tea Party kooks who are always quoting George Washington and waving the flag! Dangerous!

IDJITS.

I saw this headline at a newspaper in Upstate New York.

Wha?!

I don’t get it. WHAT are they doing in schools today besides applauding themselves for social engineering?! Who cares about this?! Why aren’t these schools simply teaching the kids to read and write?! Things are going totally, totally upside down from common sense here. Why is “retard” suddenly a bad word, but the f-word is totally acceptable?! You can’t watch a movie without hearing that constantly– sheesh, I can’t even go to WalMart or Best Buy and not hear it. Even the old grannies are using it!

What kind of world are we living in now? Where common sense is turned upside down and on it’s head?

And why are we banning the word “retard” but the politically correct thought-control freak kooks are still allowed to roam the streets unrestrained?! And when am I going to stop using the question mark for every sentence in this post?

What’s going on with teachers today? Actually, not even teachers– I’ve been seeing news like this all too often. Basically, you’ve got a very well-paid government employee who steals stuff. I mean– they’re not poor. Maybe I’m so old-fashioned– I believe poor people steal because they are in want. It shocks me when rich people steal. They steal when they don’t have to steal! What the heck? Why would they do that?? Maybe they’re training for jobs as politicians, or jobs in sales??

Anyway, my remarks are due to this news story I saw today:

Auburn Police say a 3rd grade teacher at Genesee Elementary School would have students purchase lunch for him on their school lunch accounts, and he had no intention of paying them back.

Teacher ****** has been charged with three counts of petit larceny and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Auburn Police say a parent notified the Auburn School District officials last week after noticing unauthorized charges on their child’s school lunch account. School Resource Officers then conducted an investigation, and determined that [teacher] was having students purchase the lunches on their school accounts. “He would send them down to use their four digit identification code, get a lunch, punch that in and then bring that back to his class for his consumption knowing that he had no intention of paying anyone for the lunch, and in return he would allow the kids to stay in his class and use the computer,” said Auburn Police…

You know, I kinda feel for this teacher. I’m sure he didn’t “steal” because he couldn’t afford lunches. But maybe his wife has him on a diet and the poor guy is starved.

And the charge of “endangering the welfare of a child” is a little overbearing, wouldn’t you think?! Law enforcement just loves to throw “endangering the welfare of a child” around when they arrest people. Ridiculous. Kids not eating a lunch is NOT “endangering the welfare of a child”! Idjits. However, the teach did let kids on the computer. Maybe that’s what they mean. Or maybe it’s just because the children attend government schools. NOW THAT’S “endangering the welfare of a child”!

That was the question posed by the brilliant journalists at MSNBC the other day: Big Quake Question: Is Nature Out of Control?

Uh.

Well, yes. YES, you dunderheads! When was nature ever IN control?! That’s why they call it nature, hello?!

When I went back to the “news” “story” online today, the title had been changed: Big Quake Question: Are they getting worse?

Uh.

Well, no. NO, you knuckleheads! Earthquakes are earthquakes!!! There have been both BIG ones and SMALL ones, all throughout history.

I wish some people would get out of their stuffy offices a TAD more frequently. Go outside, take in the leaves, the trees, the history of the world. It’s ALL OUTTA YOUR CONTROL, you control freaks!!!
