I guess the cities are no longer the money makers they once were. None of the criminals go there anymore, it’s too crowded. Rather, criminals are now entering the boundaries of sweet suburban living and small town America. Gee, it’s a regular Hollywood movie out there….

:(

Did you ever wonder if more crimes occurred in the summer than the winter? Or if one seemingly “nice” town or city actually has more crime than that decrepit old town with the run-down shacks? I found a very cool website that shows crime rates for the biggest cities. It’s called Trulia. I think it’s pretty neat! It’s no where NEAR as comprehensive as it should be, though. They really need to work on that. This stuff is important. I want to know where all the crimes are so I can avoid the place like the plague. The website covers all the “big cities” and I didn’t see any small towns on there.

I think there has been a dramatic rise in crime in small towns. My small town is seeing a LOT more break-ins, violent domestic incidents, and now we are faced with drug crimes and gangs. I live in a town with a population of under 900!!!!! It’s insane. My neighbors down the street were busted for drug dealing. Further down, there was a drive-by shooting a few weeks ago. And I saw in the news that, after a sting operation, cops discovered heroin, loaded guns and bullet proof vests in a home nearby.

:blink:

Crime is getting so bad in my area that the cops have stings?!

The politicians had better lower these property taxes real quick like. It’s bad enough, paying such exorbitant taxes in a nice neighborhood. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to make us pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for an area plagued by crime and drugs. Good God.

Some neighbors are so concerned that they are getting g*ns and other means to protect themselves. Others are getting testoripped so they can pound the criminals into the ground.

Me, I’m practicing The Look to make these losers melt like jello under a hairdryer.

Unfortunately, it’s real. It’s not a “conspiracy theory.” Just a conspiracy.

As i looked into it, I got madder and madder. :explode: The whole thing is INSANE.

What is WRONG with power hungry people? Why can’t they be happy enough dominating their own homes, neighborhoods, countries or continents??? Must they have the earth, too???

So, ever hear of geoengineering? Of course not! The media has more important junk, like the royal wedding and the latest Hollywood scandal, to report day and night to you. Geoengineering is the lame brain idea of manipulating the Earth’s climate to stop “global warming.”

Heck, all you have to do to stop global warming is tape the politicians’ mouth shut!!

:thinking: Then again, maybe controlling the Earth’s climate IS easier…

The reason I’m looking up geoengineering is because we’ve had some MIGHTYYYYYY crazy weather the past few years. MIGHTY crazy. Out of the blue, strange, unusual, record-breaking crazy. And I ONLY WISH it was global warming crazy. No, it’s tornado, flood, hurricane, wacky blizzard and earthquake crazy. It’s destroying the planet! Forget the sensa weight loss reviews for losing weight, all these catastrophes are causing famine! Sheesh!

HELLO, world dominants? We’d MUCH RATHER have global warming than be plagued with tornadoes and floods. Please go back to your measly little mansions now, k?

I saw a story at the Discovery News website, and was completely floored by what I saw.

The story breathlessly reports that The Voynich Manuscript, considered “the world’s most mysterious manuscript,” is loaded with mysterious drawings and scripts in strange languages and forms.

OMG it could be aliens, right!!!! Did Voynich have contact with extraterrestrial creatures who revealed to him the mysteries of life?!?!?!

Moreover, the puzzling handwriting is surrounded by intricately drawn illustrations: plants that can’t be identified, astrological symbols, elaborate networks of pipework, and… ladies dancing or bathing in a strange green liquid.

“Who knows what’s being written about in this manuscript. … Just look at those drawings: Are they botanical? Are they marine organisms? Are they astrological? Nobody knows,” said Greg Hodgins, an assistant research scientist and assistant professor in the University of Arizona’s department of physics with a joint appointment at Arizona’s School of Anthropology.

WHAT COULD THIS ALL MEAN?!?!
:smarty:

Here’s my guess:

Maybe it’s just a notebook of doodles!!

Maybe the guy was doodling and scribbling while waiting on the phone, on hold for the latest motorcycle insurance quote. Do YOU doodle while on hold? I do.

MYSTERY SOLVED.
:duncehat:

Know what I hate? Yeah, besides slobbery dogs, lazy public employees, stupid lawsuits, etc etc etc… besides all those, I hate pop culture. IT SUCKS.

Tonight, the Internet and TV are ablaze with the Grammys. All I can say is BIG WHOOP. What a bunch of malarky! What a waste of life! Why is our society a bunch of drooling celebrity idolators?? We are the greatest country in the WORLD! We should be filling the halls of science and seminaries with the best of the best– Why don’t we exalt REAL successful, honorable vocations, like ddc scientists making incredible progress in health?! Or authors stunning the world with their uplifting literature? Why do we have to tolerate junk like this:

OK, you CAN'T fool me. That's NO "lady."

That’s “Lady” GaGa. There’s something very wrong with a society that exalts sleaziness and despises wholesomeness like… like… well, like Justin Bieber! Why is it OK to adore “Lady” Gag-Gag but it’s OK to treat sweet little Justin with contempt? Something is very wrong here. Look at his cute face!!

Why do people hate him so much? He’s so wholesome, such a good example of goodness.

Bah. It’s an unfair world we live in. A world that exalts people like Paris Hilton.. and for what? Because she’s so beautiful or talented or has accomplished something great! No, because she make a porno vid. All very sad.

I say: GO, JUSTIN, GO!!! Keep the faith, man!!!

SO hey ya’all?! Sick of winter yet? I hear there’s been snow in 47 states this winter, is that right? Ha ha ha! You Southerners take THAT, will ya! *hee hee*

I’m not done with winter. I like it. I like the freezing cold, the icy biting snow, the colorless bland sky, the painfully bright white sun causing snowblindness without warmth, the classy vision screener and snowglasses, the high heating bills, the thick parkas and gloves and boots and hats and scarves… bring it on!!

OK I’m kidding. Some things I could do without (I look awful in parkas, they make me look like a fuzzy pyramid). But I really don’t mind winter all that much- it’s better than muddy spring. And winter has one terrific advantage to it that no other season has:

ALL THE NEIGHBOR KIDS STAY INSIDE!

No screaming, no litter, no raucous laughter! No little urchins running their mopeds through my flower beds! No immature teenagers pushing themselves into my leaf piles and making a mess of my yard! And no pots heads smoking dope in the parking lot across the street! And even if the noisy little brutes DO yell, the snow absorbs the sounds! Ahhhh peace and quiet!

Gosh, I LOVE WINTER!

I’ve been heartened by the news that the new Congress is going to work to repeal Obamacare. I’m a little discouraged that the Congress is going to repeal it “piece by piece.” I’m impatient to see this piece of cr*p repealed. I don’t want them to mince around, splitting hairs while time runs out. The Congress had BETTER get this done, I tell you what. According to CNBC, Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan says his main priority is repealing he blasted thing.

Obamacare is a touchy topic for a lot of people, I know that. But it is an illegal and immoral piece of legislation. Illegal because the federal government has no power to regulate American citizens’ health, not AT ALL. They are barred from doing so by the Constitution and the 10th Amendment. If the STATES want to enact health care, so be it, that’s legal. Many do, and many do not. But the feds have NO POWER. And grabbing for such power over our laws and over our bodies is illegal AND immoral. Just the fact that Obamacare gives the IRS police powers is absolutely terrifying; these people have a horrible track record when dealing with American citizens.

And just so you know, my state offers health insurance for poor people, disabled people, and people in certain health situations. I have been on this insurance. Because it is run by the state, it is a bloated, frustrating monster. God forbid such a system should enlarge into a federal entity. It’s how I feel about so many things– education, energy, real estate, banking– the federal government is TOO BIG, too monstrous, too controlling. If I want to buy eggs or a furnace or commercial pumps or a car, I want it to be between ME and the seller, not with the meddling hands of the feds controlling everything.

I’m afraid for this country, I am. The federal government is swallowing up so much. People do not seem to care about freedoms as long as they get their “bread and circuses.” It makes me very nervous.
