Someone just rang on the bell, must be those Planet tissues. Thanks a bunch. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On July 25, 2013 @ 7:12 pm Ok, you owe me a box of tissues used to clean the coffee off my cardi. 😆 Hilarious but at the same time eye opening because they actually do have all these evil traits in common. The only real difference is that Al-Qa’ida and the Taliban wouldn’t have to bow to women at election time because they would not be allowed to vote. Did you see the story I posted this morning about Al-Qa’ida and imagine the Repubs there in their “Kiss the Chef” aprons and funny party hats? —- Al-Qa’ida Family Fun Day??? 😯 Video: Al-Qa’ida holds family fun day in war torn Aleppo EDIT: Sorry, this video is no longer available on YouTube because the account has been closed.

Their loss for being so dumb and disorganised, not that I care. Yes I agree about the ACA and the benefits people will experience, something we have already heard here from two of our members who were uninsured. Once the benefit is felt nationwide, the GOP, the TP and all those in the pockets of the insurance companies, can respectfully jump off the nearest cliff. Stick a fork in them, they’re done. » Posted By Kalima On July 16, 2013 @ 8:09 pm Hopefully this from Holder, and the efforts of many others could be a start. As you wrote, the SYG law, right to vote law, the attack against women’s rights and Roe v. Wade, Medicare and the ACA are making America into a sad former shadow of itself. Now with some polls showing that some of the younger Hispanics might vote for republicans, they see no reason to change the immigration system. It’s ALL about them you see, not the country or it’s citizens unless those citizens vote for them. The rest of the population can go to Hell. Yes I remember the sewer politics of the McCain/Palin campaign, it brought out the worst of the worst and no one did a damned thing to stop them. No, there has been nothing like the opposition Obama has faced anywhere in the civilised world, and many of my friends around the world were and are still shocked by the sheer aggressiveness of it for all these years. All I can say with absolute certainty to all Dems, Progessives and Liberals is, don’t let 2010 happen in 2014 again. Vote as if your life depends on it because in some cases it just might. “Attorney General Eric Holder denounces ‘stand your ground’ laws” » Posted By Kalima On July 16, 2013 @ 7:33 pm I have one question for the GOP, the TP, and the crazies. If there is no racism in America and her politics, then why the almost insane opposition to President Obama since before he even took office or they knew much about his policies? Why the secret meeting of the top GOP tribe to make him a “One term President” and obstruct him every step of the way? They didn’t even know him, and I don’t remember any media or journalist ever asking them to explain this. Of course we know the answer. The idea that the people elected the first black man to lead the country was and still is an open wound to their “white supremacy”pride. It was at this time that they let down their guard out of anger to openly display and encourage racism from their moth-eaten base. It became part of their campaigning, but ultimately lost them the election. It is truly sickening, but what is even more sickening is those who deny it exists. Great article AdLib, and I so hope that this leads to a nationwide debate about what still ails America, and the racist SYG law lobbied for with such fierce and hateful frenzy by the obnoxious NRA. Pity they can’t be sued as being complicit in Trayvon Martin’s murder, because they are as guilty as Zimmerman and those who passed this awful law. The SYG law has to go before the next innocent person is murdered in cold blood because someone decides they don’t belong and have no business walking in what is considered to be a “white” area. Sounds a lot like S. Africa’s apartheid to me. » Posted By Kalima On July 16, 2013 @ 5:48 pm Repubs Back Forcible Legislation on Women Funny stuff AdLib, and I can imagine R Prepuss actually saying this being as he is such a poor excuse for a man. Nothing surprises me anymore. I thought this video might fit if you imagine that the guy who attacks her is all constipated Republican men, cast adrift with the knowledge that they are losing and will continue to lose. The brave woman is all of us, and I applaud her courage and the fact that she had bigger balls than the lot of them together. Republican men are afraid of women, therefore the desperate need to control. Love this woman! —- “Kathrine Switzer: First woman to enter the Boston Marathon” (40 years ago) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fOGXvBAmTsY » Posted By Kalima On July 13, 2013 @ 6:11 am Justice, Politics and Other Multiplayer Games Great article AdLib. I really don’t like to watch murder trials on the tv as I feel it’s somehow diminishes the victim and the gravity of the crime. The O.J. trial was a jaw dropper for me, it felt as if I was watching a “Law and Order” series. The judge was appalling, it was as if he was auditioning for a role. I haven’t seen much of the Zimmerman trial over here, but I’ve read a lot about it on the internet. What people and most of the media seem to forget are the facts. Zimmerman stalked an unarmed 17 year old kid because he thought he had no business being where he was. Did he ask him what he was doing there before he shot him? I doubt it, and after he was told by police not to pursue, he did so anyway. The kid was black and wearing a “Hoodie” (in the rain) and we all know that means he is up to no good. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. He followed Trayvon who must have been alarmed to have him stalking, and tried to defend himself. For that, Zimmerman gunned him down in cold blood at close range. If he is not found guilty there is something very wrong with the justice system with people who can’t follow the facts as they were presented. I found it appalling that the defense wanted to bring in totally unrelated texting, just how low can they go. It was racially biased when the media made fun of the friend of Trayvon who was on the phone with him that night. People with a crowd mentality have no shame. —- “Rachel Jeantel proves that this July 4th, Jim Crow lives” The treatment of a prosecution witness in the George Zimmerman murder trial and the reasoning of the US Supreme Court in striking down the heart of the Voting Rights Act make clear that America has a race problem. —- Today I posted a story about Berlusconi and the protests against the Supreme Court in Italy wanting to make sure that he could not get out of jail time. The man is rich. The man is also a slimy corrupted criminal with ties to the Italian mafia. If he gets off then I’m sure that somewhere, somehow, money exchanged hands to make sure he doesn’t go to jail, and I find that disgraceful. In a just world rich criminals would be lining up in orange jumpsuits. War criminals would be facing trial at the ICC in the Hague. Bankers would be made to return the money they stole, and there would be an example of justice for us to look up to. As long as governments don’t force those responsible to pay their dues, and a man can be jailed for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, there is no justice. As long as there are lawyers just motivated by money, justice as we once knew it, will be just be something we all long for but can never fully obtain. What can we do about it? Keep trying to elect the people who will stand with us, and rid our governments of those who oppose what is right. It’s not just an American problem, it spans every corner of our world, and I still very much believe in people power, and one step at a time. » Posted By Kalima On July 11, 2013 @ 3:56 am The Weekend Music Thread-Music That Moves You Thank you DFHredux, I wish the same for you too. Peace. Just saw the addition to your comment and think it’s a great idea to teach children music early, especially before they are born. My hubby is still such a Neil Young fan and now he will have his own music room to listen to him whenever he wants to. One of the perks of the new house. 😉 Before I forget, I loved “Emerald Eyes”. » Posted By Kalima On July 6, 2013 @ 9:35 pm After 4 months of living in limbo hell, we will be moving into heaven and our new house in early August.

Any ideas about what we are doing down here with me in the wrong place now instead of you? » Posted By Kalima On June 13, 2013 @ 6:07 pm That is funny Sally, but I think that is from the site. It would be like complaining that the soup is too salty, then asking for another plate full. The only security I have is an antivirus programm, and it’s been quite busy lately. Made me glad that I haven’t given up too much information there. Still, I’m getting the oddest emails, and although I never open a link unless I know that person, getting so many is annoying. The word “profit” pisses me off too. » Posted By Kalima On June 13, 2013 @ 3:29 pm Well actually, it’s doing much better considering all of the obstruction in Congress. AdLib’s article is about security and the NSA program. “US hiring outlook healthier than any time since 2008” Cautious optimism over employment prospects in the US and some parts of Europe http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jun/11/us-hiring-outlook-healthier-2008 » Posted By Kalima On June 13, 2013 @ 2:53 pm That’s just Facebook. This had me wondering about which of my email addresses had received the weirdest emails so far. Guess what? It’s the address I use on Facebook. Made me just want to get out of there and run for the nearest hills. “You Thought You Had Privacy Before the NSA Leak? What About Facebook”? » Posted By Kalima On June 13, 2013 @ 7:03 am Very good article AdLib and really thought provoking. I find myself just about NSA’ed and Snowdened out after so many so-called “scandals” in the news since last year, and being as I’m not an American, or living in your country, I feel I can only say so much. My thoughts on this is that Snowden and anyone else connected with this leak, broke the law and should face the consequences. Everything we do has consequences. Years ago when I got my first iPad and downloaded Google Earth, I had no idea that just typing in my address would reveal an aerial still photo of our house that can be seen all over the world, from every angle, and when I zoomed in, I could almost see inside the windows of our bedroom. I don’t remember a discussion with Google about taking a photo of the very private space I share with my husband, our home. They didn’t contact me to ask our permission, they just did it without any reason or probable cause because we are on some suspicious list worldwide, but just because they can. I consider this to be a gross invasion of privacy and potentially dangerous. Whenever I go to the Internet I am being tracked by that site’s cookies. When I google they store my history. If I enter my name there I find alien things that I have never searched for, especially on Google Australia. I can assure you that there are very few people with the same name combination. If I sign up for a news alert email, I get months of junk mail in my inbox from places I have never heard of or have any interest in. My Facebook page can be accessed by anyone who knows my real name on Google. It’s there even though I didn’t give Facebook my permission to make it public and just how much more public can you make it. At the moment I’m getting pictures of half clad women from Russia wanting to be my friend. Yesterday I received an email with a video (unopened) addressed to Hi Kershawn. Who the hell is Kershawn and where did this person get my private email address that has nothing to do with Google, Yahoo, hotmail or any of those companies? Not from your NSA, I’m quite sure of that. The point I’m trying to make is that the Internet is already unsafe every time you use your browser, we know that and still use it because what can we do about it except limit our private information. I agree that there needs to be a discussion about this, your President has stated that he welcomes a discussion, but I believe him when he says that there are safeguards in place to protect innocent people from intense snooping, I have no reason not to. As we discussed the other day, if this stops even just a few terrorist attempts, in my opinion that is the price we pay for a chance of safety in this troubled world we live in today. Advanced technology is great for a number of things in our lives, especially concerning our health, but I think that every generation before us have had to give up something for that advancement. We can’t have it both ways unfortunately. Also as I said the other day, I have a clear conscience with nothing to hide. Maybe this is what makes me less concerned than others might be. I’m beginning to wonder if Snowden isn’t just a pawn in something much darker or politically motivated by others. Otherwise, without hacking what is supposed to be such a highly sensitive operation, how did he obtain access? One of the funnier things to come out of this was a story I read yesterday that Russia had offered to consider giving him asylum. Russia with it’s history of civil and human rights abuses. It’s jailing and public beatings of the opposition and dissenters of Putin’s reign. It’s throwing out of foreign NGOs and recently clamping down on foreign homosexuals for what they call “distributing homosexual propaganda”, has offered to consider giving Snowden a safe haven. I found that absolutely hilarious. Putin’s Russia. Russia’s Duma waves through anti-gay law – by 436 votes to 0 Gay activists attacked and arrested for protesting against bill that will ban ‘homosexual propaganda’ aimed at young people » Posted By Kalima On June 11, 2013 @ 2:21 pm Weekend Music Theme-As You Please Very thinly sliced on a lettuce and tomato sandwich, or added last on top of a salad.
