Pink, sounds like fun. I as them for their phone number so I can return their call at an awful hour. Usually they hang up.

QBD, I take it that you agree with me. The last “news reporter” I remember was Walter Cronkite. “And that’s the way it is.”

VB, that is a good question. I think people should give some thought to what they write. Here, twitter (I have no idea what that is), Facebook, or anywhere else. Your words can come back and bite you in the a$$ when you least expect it.

The employer in this case as in the Phil Robertson case has a right to do what they feel best for their company.

VB, I also recited the Pledge of Allegiance way back in school. Can’t answer why it is not done now.

PW, I guess we are on the same wave length. The so called “news people” are NOT reporters, they are making comments just as you and I are here on the Planet. Real news reporters keep their opinions out of the issues. We don’t have many if any.

Why is it that the GOPers are so upset about people saying Happy Holidays ?

Between Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and New Years Eve we have several holidays for several ethnic groups. So we don’t exclude some people we say Happy Holidays. If you are with Christians Merry Christmas works, Talking to Jews Happy Hanukkah , in an African American neighborhood Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year works for all.

I think the people who make a big deal about “Happy Holidays” as a greeting are selfish. They are not thinking about all the other groups of people who have a holiday to celebrate this time of year.

I hope I didn’t leave any holiday out. If I did it is out of ignorance not spite.

Clair Davis ,17 year old girl shot at school died. My feeling is that she never should have been in danger while at school. Something has to be done to keep kids safe in the school where they spend so much of their time.

Parents need to identify mental illness in their kids and get them help. The school teachers and nurses need to identify kids who need help and follow up.

VB, I like the new Pope. I was born Catholic but do not care for all the pomp and stuff. I do my praying in my woods where I feel closer to God than anywhere else.

The Catholic church has too much treasure and I doubt that is what Jesus intended.

The story about the nuns selling the child infuriates me as well. Guess those who live in glass houses should refrain from throwing stones.

PW, it seems to me that we are living in a two class world now. The rich entitled and the working poor.

Have you heard about the 16 year old “poor little rich kid” who drove drunk killing 4 people? He was given 10 years probation because he was never reprimanded as a child.

Now his parents may be paying big time due to civil law suits.

****chuckle ******

You are not fooling anyone. We know you are a good guy.

» Posted By Nirek On December 20, 2013 @ 3:46 pm

SP, your wisdom is showing.

Funk, we are getting light rain at this time. I got up on my roof this morning and shoveled some of the 14 inches off. I do not like rain in winter. It causes slick roads and diminishes our snow pack.

Kalima, you stay safe over there. Quakes must make you nervous. Here in Vermont we get a small one a couple times a year but very weak, hardly noticeable.

It seems that we have a bunch of differing opinions on religion. I was born Catholic but the Catholic Church is too fancy for me. I believe in Jesus but not everything the bible says verbatim. Since the Bible was written by man and interpreted and rewritten several times by man (fallible according to the Bible). I prefer to be outside in the woods around my house. I talk to God there. Thank him or Mother Nature for all the trees, animals, and good things. I try to care for the land. I care about my neighbors, family, and fellow citizens.

However you pray or whatever you believe is your choice and I refuse to tell you you’re wrong. As long as you and I do no harm to our fellow man/woman and even help people less fortunate than we are I’m happy with you.

Faith is fine with me. Having no religion is fine if that is how you feel. Being gay, straight, black, white, or any other thing that makes you different is not a problem for me. I accept you as you are and hope you accept me as I am. I love everyone even republicans and tea folks ( I just disagree with some of their thoughts).

So to end this post, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and VERY happy New Year. Peace.

So true, Funk!

SP, I’m sorry for your loss. My parents are long gone from this world but never forgotten. It does my heart good to hear nice things about your Dad. I feel that Dads sometimes get a bad rap.

This is not to say that there is any problem with women (Moms) as I love them. Respect them and cannot imagine life without women.

SP, I often get calls and I just hang up. My wife says they are just doing their jobs. No way I could do that job, as I hate to intrude on someones home time. Too often it is a person I can’t understand because of their accent and my poor hearing.

I used to say , do you know what time it is here?

» Posted By Nirek On December 20, 2013 @ 3:22 am

Funk, that hit the nail squarely on the head!

I find humor to be a good thing, VB.
As long as it is not overly offensive.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 1:52 pm

You didn’t, SP.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 1:50 pm

Kalima, thanks for giving Bito the props. I still miss him.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 1:08 pm

Thanks for the help , SP.
No offence taken, any help I kan get is welcum.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 1:07 pm

VB, that was my first thought, too.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 1:04 pm

KT, my bad. I thought it was the government, I should have known the government would not do it. Have to pay better attention.

Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame is a bigot from what he says about gays and other things. That doesn’t mean it is right to sensor him. Although I disagree with him I feel that he has a right to express his opinion (no matter how wrong).

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 8:13 am

KT, you don’t have a gambling problem then. I have watched a guy who has next to nothing buy scratch off tickets 10 at a time go out to his car and scratch them and return for ten more in a few moments. That is a problem for him.

Pink, You are correct when you say the people who can least afford to play the lottery are and that is a tax on the poor.

» Posted By Nirek On December 19, 2013 @ 4:05 am

Fergie, Like I said, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I do agree with you though, he doesn’t deserve credit. So I retract his credit. I am willing to admit when I made a mistake.

Cheers, Nirek
