Peace to you and yours. » Posted By Kalima On May 18, 2014 @ 3:32 pm Just up to find this. Thank you, Nirek, very kind of you to include me. 😳 This is for you.

Personally the first man didn’t look homeless to me. He looked like someone who needed help and was asking for help. What would it have cost someone to ask him if he needed medical attention? We are all wired differently I suppose. » Posted By Kalima On May 21, 2014 @ 12:08 am Very thought provoking article, AdLib. I was speaking to someone here a few months ago about lost community spirit, and how it makes people react to everyday encounters with people less inclined to go out on a limb to help another person. Here in Japan, the sense of community and looking out for each other is very strong. We are a city with a population of 13.23 million, so the excuse that city people keep to themselves and don’t want to get involved is mute here. I know that if anything ever happened here, the immediate neighbourhood would come to my rescue. Proof of that was apparent when we had the huge earthquake in 2011. As soon as the intense shaking stopped, no less than six neighbours had come to check if I was alright. They even came back later to turn the gas on again for me as it stops automatically in an earthquake over magnitude 5. On the 15th, I posted this video on MB with this comment. It really disturbed me and for days I couldn’t get it out of my head. Being brought up in a country where boys give up their bus seat for a woman or an elderly person, and we are taught to be respectful of others, I think nothing of helping people who look as if they could use some help, and have a few funny stories when offering to carry an elderly woman’s shopping across a busy street she was trying to cross. Being thoughtful about others and showing kindness costs us nothing, and I’ve said it often here, the rewards are priceless. Thanks for bringing up the subject in your own special way. Maybe if we start caring more about other people, the places we live in and the people who are suffering there, we will care more about who is running the country and how their decisions are affecting more than just ourselves. Great work. I found this French video clip extremely disturbing. There is no violence, just total apathy and selfishness for another human being in need of their help.. The man is an actor. The people who pass him by are not. Le poids des apparences | The importance of appearances experiment https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SGPjUyVtTQw » Posted By Kalima On May 19, 2014 @ 7:31 pm Hi Nirek. Over the last five years we have discussed the Republican obstructionism until we were blue in the face, and I always come back to the same conclusion. The President is black, actually half black, and these mouth breathing, knuckle draggers will never accept being told what to do by a black man. They can label it anything they want, from he’s a Muslim, was born in Kenya, is a Marxist, a socialist, doesn’t follow the constitution, is forcing healthcare on the nation and of course the horse that just won’t die; Benghazi. In the cold daylight it is just another excuse for their racism, it’s as awful and as simple as that. They made a pledge like a group of pimply faced teenagers in the boys locker room. Immature, not doing the job they were elected to do, and in real life they would be fired. So fire them by getting out the vote and volunteering to drive those elderly or disabled neighbours to the polls. All those who are prepared to sit out the election because they are looking for something better. News Flash, there will be no one better because the Republicans will always obstruct. Your loss. America’s decine. Congratulations fake Dems !! » Posted By Kalima On May 17, 2014 @ 7:15 am Ted Cruz Claims That Arithmetic is a Hoax Absolutely kes, and with a straight face too. That’s why I laugh because it’s just so easy for them to lie. If you repeat something often enough, it must be the truth, right? 😉 » Posted By Kalima On May 15, 2014 @ 2:03 am Simply wonderful kes! Glad I had emptied my cup or I might have choked from laughing. 😆 » Posted By Kalima On May 14, 2014 @ 5:50 pm Seems to me that the teapublicans are in a secret competition to see who can say the most ridiculous and outrageous things before November. The winner gets a pointy hat, a magic wand, and a run at the presidency. Although “run” should be replaced with stumble or a three-legged sack race hop. So much for all the media buzz about their efforts for image changing. Huge flop. So Teddy, how many people are there in “marriage is between one man and one woman”? Two? Three? More?? They can’t count because if you look closely, they are all missing their middle fingers as they have used them once too often against the American people and your Constitution. Love it, AdLib!! 😆 » Posted By Kalima On May 13, 2014 @ 5:18 pm 😆 Thanks a bunch! » Posted By Kalima On May 13, 2014 @ 4:04 pm Hello ExFan.

That’s why it’s there. » Posted By Kalima On May 9, 2014 @ 12:36 am Glad it brought on a chuckle. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On May 9, 2014 @ 12:33 am 😆 Fastandoso Furious » Posted By Kalima On May 7, 2014 @ 4:52 pm An early morning brain fart, Nirek. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On May 7, 2014 @ 3:12 pm I have just written an angry letter to the GOPTP informing them in no uncertain terms, that I do not appreciate the use of my name for the creation of a language only they can understand.

On a much lighter note, very funny, AdLib. 😆 » Posted By Kalima On May 7, 2014 @ 3:03 pm Taxes? We Don’t Need No Stinking Taxes! Well if one determined guy can do this much, imagine a hundred, a thousand and one million concerned citizens around the globe. Yes, voting each time, especially in local elections that people tend to think of as unimportant, is the way to unseat the traitors to your Constitution and well being of Americans. » Posted By Kalima On May 9, 2014 @ 12:59 am Good Morning Nirek. Thought you might appreciate this from this morning’s MB. Have a good Thursday. Peace. —- It cuts both ways: The man who took Caffe Nero to task over its tax affairs » Posted By Kalima On May 8, 2014 @ 3:51 am Well that’s no surprise considering who brought him up. You and your wife did a very good job. » Posted By Kalima On May 7, 2014 @ 5:46 pm You are very welcome, Nirek. Sorry I haven’t commented yet, have been really busy and hubby arrived back from Germany yesterday. Your son took the words right out of my head when he asked if corporations are people, why don’t they pay as fairly as the rest of us do? The Tory government won on a campaign promise to tax the rich fairly. Four years later we are still waiting for this to happen. Like the U.S. the conservatives are funded by the rich, so I can’t see them ever biting the hand that feeds them. There need to be more worldwide protests or we can aways just try to vote the greedy buggers out. » Posted By Kalima On May 7, 2014 @ 5:28 pm Homeless Veterans, America’s Secret Disgrace Hello jjgravitas, then it must pain you to see what is going on in the South. Your description of the story of The Golden Calf is spot on. I don’t read the bible much but I think that God did not lead the Israelites himself through the desert, he sent an angel instead, and that was their punishment. The only way to rid your country of this cancerous evil, is to vote them out of power. It’s the voters who have the upper hand, and they must use it. Thanks, I hope you have a peaceful weekend too. No I’m not offended by the word “bitch”, I swear like a sailor myself when I get really angry. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On May 2, 2014 @ 6:07 pm Then all I can do is wish you the best from so far away, and say I’m with you in spirit. » Posted By Kalima On May 2, 2014 @ 1:13 am Knowing you a little here from your comments and endless passion for what is right and just, you will continue the fight and make the necessary noise to get their attention one way or another. As you say, this has to stop. » Posted By Kalima On May 1, 2014 @ 8:51 pm Wonderful comment cl. Reading it brought tears of anger, frustration and joy for your kindness and understanding. As one human being to another, thank you for caring, you have made a huge difference in so many lives. No one person can ever feel they have done enough. It takes a town, a city, a state and the country with a collective awareness of a problem to help make those changes to make the world a fair and better place for everyone. You have done more than your share. » Posted By Kalima On May 1, 2014 @ 8:11 pm Being a veteran yourself, it must hit you very hard to see how the country (RW politicians) are treating your veterans. Where are all the charitable mega-rich who thought war was such a good thing, and cheered with every bomb dropped, and then closed their eyes and ears to the growing number of casualties, while the Bush government hid the mounting coffins of the dead returning from battle. The disabled returning to a life of uncertainty, believing that their country would take care of them when they returned were swept under the rug. Then there are the very rich who were against war, it doesn’t mean you ignore the many thousands who fought for their country in one. In Oklahoma they did this, link below. In some southern states they are stopping the Church from helping the poor and homeless. The Church has always helped the needy, what part of Jesus’s teachings say otherwise? In the U.K. it was the same. Hundreds of injured vets were dismissed from the military on their return, and because of the increasing cuts to anything this conservative government can cut, many lost their chance of benefits too. Who are these heathens and why do they remain in power? They are the same people who vote in Congress or Parliament against doing anything to help the veterans. They are an indelible stain on our nations and must be removed. Thanks for the passion you show for this issue. I can’t understand the backlog for so long. Surely with something as urgent as this they should be able to get the funding for more staff to deal with it. Thought I would include these two articles. One is about heartfelt kindness, the other must have been planned by the Devil himself. —- Veteran offers up his burial plot so a lesbian couple can rest in peace http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/05/01/3432978/veteran-idaho-lesbian-cemetary/ —- Louisiana About To Make It Illegal For Homeless People To Beg For Money http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2014/04/29/3432024/louisiana-panhandling-ban/ » Posted By Kalima On May 1, 2014 @ 6:36 pm Donald Sterling and Cliven Bundy Start Racist “League of Their Own” He’s no philanthropist. I read that years ago he bid on some property promising to turn it into a homeless shelter. He got the property alright, and years later nothing has been done there. It was just a con job. Yes, racism is about all he will be remembered for before people move on to the next jerk waiting in line. Plenty of those still out there. » Posted By Kalima On May 3, 2014 @ 6:33 pm I would like nothing better than to say what I think, but I’d have to “ban myself for life” from The Planet. 😉 » Posted By Kalima On May 2, 2014 @ 11:48 pmComments Posted By Kalima
