Displaying 5,071 To 5,100 Of 5,801 Comments Glenn, I would throw WWJD right in the hypocrites face. Full disclosure; I believe in Jesus. I also think all the other names for God that other folks use are the same God by a different name. I have a favorite name , Mother Nature. Whatever name people use for God is fine with me. As long as people try to do as their God wants. (do no harm, help the poor or unfortunate). » Posted By Nirek On August 11, 2013 @ 4:36 pm Recently I discovered a channel on my cable that is awesome! It is called the “Malt Shop Oldies” . There is no chatter just music and a black screen. There is at the start of a song the name of the song, the artist, and the song writer. Then it goes to the black screen. I love the music from my past! » Posted By Nirek On August 11, 2013 @ 8:44 am I have only tried pot once in my life. It was in 1969 while I was in Vietnam. Some of the guys were smoking and offered me a hit. I never seemed to get high but something that night made me vomit. I don’t know if the pot made me vomit but I have never taken the chance again. This morning I watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN. He has changed his mind about how bad it is for people who use it. He especially believes that it can be used as a medicine. I mention this because I think he is a good Dr. and very smart man. He showed that pot is less addicting than tobacco, alcohol, heroin, and many other drugs. For a long time now I have said that pot should be legal. It should be treated like alcohol and only those over 18 should be able to buy and use it. Pot is less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. Think about the advantages legal pot would give America. Here is a list (feel free to add to the list please. 1) Farmers would have a new cash crop. » Posted By Nirek On August 11, 2013 @ 5:27 am Ad, extremists do go “overboard” (pun intended) with what they “believe”. » Posted By Nirek On August 11, 2013 @ 4:07 am KT, they have tried 40 times to repeal, defund, or undo Obamacare. All the while they have done no (zero) work on behalf of the American people. They have done nothing productive. I see no reason that they should get paid for doing nothing. All their non production is adding to our deficit. The money spent unwisely on attempts to unfund Obamacare could be used to rebuild our infra structure and create jobs and therefore taxpayers. » Posted By Nirek On August 10, 2013 @ 4:41 am Ad, they say the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. » Posted By Nirek On August 10, 2013 @ 3:47 am Why do GOP/TP men think they know better than a woman what is best for her? » Posted By Nirek On August 9, 2013 @ 5:21 am Kes, yes I do think so. Collaborating and coming to a consensus is the way to use the strengths of everyone. Male or female, or black, or white, if you work together you can accomplish any goal. On the political front we need to educate the moderate republicans (those who at odds with the GOP/TP). There are far more reasonable people in the republican party than you may believe. They can be turned to the correct side if we show them proof of the GOP/TP ignorance. The GOP/TP doesn’t believe in science ! They don’t believe in equality, either. » Posted By Nirek On August 8, 2013 @ 2:30 pm I think that the reason my wife and I have been successful is because we talk to each other about everything. We discuss subjects that are diverse. Very much like what we do here on the planet. Often we will disagree until one of us can give scientific proof of our position. We are both believers in science. I started this rant to get to a point. I wanted to make it clear that women and men are equally intelligent. We are better when we work together. We have strengths in some areas that the other has not. But the other has strengths in a different area. I do respect women. Some of my favorite people in the world are women. My wife, daughter, granddaughters, sisters, and an aunt come to mind. In history Rossa Parks comes to my mind immediately. End of rant , for now. » Posted By Nirek On August 8, 2013 @ 7:15 am Ad, I could not agree more. I believe that the leaders of the GOP are sociopaths. The trouble is there are many people who follow and do not think for themselves. When they start thinking for themselves they will leave the “party of no” and start voting for the best candidate (nearly always the democrat). » Posted By Nirek On August 7, 2013 @ 5:49 pm Kes, I have toyed with mentioning the house being taken down. Like you I don’t believe the house was evil. But Castro is. » Posted By Nirek On August 7, 2013 @ 5:45 pm My wife is so smart. She seems to be able to understand things and explain them to me so I also understand them. I count on her to help me be a better person. On another topic. Two topics in one post. This is how my mind works. Lots of random things going through my head. Regards to all my friends here on the planet. » Posted By Nirek On August 7, 2013 @ 7:18 am So there are some, Kalima. However few, they get house arrest or sent to a country club type prison. Just doesn’t seem equal to the harm they do to so many people. » Posted By Nirek On August 2, 2013 @ 7:30 am No worries here, Kalima. » Posted By Nirek On August 2, 2013 @ 7:24 am Other than Martha Stewart and Bernie Madoff, are there any white collar crooks who have been convicted of their crimes? Will we ever see the day when a crooked politician gets arrested and convicted? Aren’t bribery and taking a bribe crimes? Why are the politicians and execs above the law? Just a few random questions I have. » Posted By Nirek On August 2, 2013 @ 4:44 am Assumed, many of the corporations are now multinational. Therefore they are not American. » Posted By Nirek On July 31, 2013 @ 1:01 pm Assumed, once again I agree with you. Porn hurts the people who are used to promote it and the people who look at it. It seems to be a lose lose. » Posted By Nirek On July 31, 2013 @ 12:57 pm Glenn, we have much in common. However my wife is still with me, thank God. She does suffer from a herniated vertebra and stays home most of the time. I don’t want to experience the kind of loss you did. I hope your family cares for you like I do. We here at the planet have become like another family. I still grieve for our friend Bito. He befriended me here and then passed away a while ago. » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 12:46 pm Ad, once again you are correct. The Democratic party does condemn their own perverted few. I would add that there seems to be many more GOPers who are perverts than Democrats. » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 12:34 pm In the past , the two party system worked fairly well. Today, not so much. It seems that one party has a cancer (Tea Party). Oh, the other has a lesser cancer (perversion), too. Think Wiener for that one. Tea Party folks are either greedy rich folks or ignorant poor folks who follow blindly those rich greedy people. Too many people do not think for themselves. » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 4:32 am Assumed, WOW, you are a wordsmith on a par with Adlib. I agree with you! » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 4:09 am Ad, like Assumed I agree 100%. I think that the republican party has gone down hill since Ike left office. » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 4:07 am Assumed, I too am from a Catholic family. I say I’m a former Catholic. When the reports of child sex scandals started I wanted something done to end it. All they did was cover it up and or move the offending priest to a different Parrish. » Posted By Nirek On July 30, 2013 @ 4:00 am Kalima, wouldn’t it be nice if other stations followed this and we could never have to listen to these jerks? » Posted By Nirek On July 29, 2013 @ 3:53 am Glenn, you sound like you value family as much as I do. Respect for family , women, gays, blacks, and minorities are values that the GOP seems to lack. Look at all the disrespect they have for Americans of every stripe except TP/GOPers. » Posted By Nirek On July 28, 2013 @ 1:19 pm I love OT, I can start a conversation on any subject. How can any woman or man who loves a woman be a republican today? The GOP has taken every opportunity to take rights from women. They seem to want the woman to stay in the “kitchen, barefoot and pregnant”! A “real man” would take care of his family. Lots of us do. It just bothers me that GOP “men” want to have a double standard. I love my wife of forty years, my daughter (strong mother of four wonderful kids), my Granddaughters and want them to to have choices. » Posted By Nirek On July 28, 2013 @ 6:39 am Yes they do, Kes. Sorry for bragging. I just agree that the future may well be in good hands. » Posted By Nirek On July 27, 2013 @ 5:05 pm Update! My granddaughter called all excited! She took third place and won $35. » Posted By Nirek On July 27, 2013 @ 4:03 pm Today I went to a fiddle contest that my 8 year old granddaughter was in. She played a waltz, a jig, and a ho-down. We left before all were done. There was a 95 year old man playing and people of all ages. Needless to say I’m proud of her for her very good effort. She’s a winner in my eyes. » Posted By Nirek On July 27, 2013 @ 3:31 pm I love that she admires her grandmothers, Ad. Respect for old folks as well as women and everyone is nice to see. » Posted By Nirek On July 27, 2013 @ 3:53 amComments Posted By Nirek
I doubt you are a heathen, btw. I believe that Jesus would be ashamed of some of the religious folks today.
2) The government would get more revenue while cutting expenses in chasing pot users.
3) Manufacturing would have a new product.
4) The cartels would be out of business.
5) Jobs would be created for inspectors (government jobs with good pay)
After 40 attempts to undo “Obama care” , I think those 40 attempts prove that the GOPers are “bat shit crazy”.
I think they have a “God complex”.
I asked her 5 years ago if we could get a solar array. I explained that it would pay for itself over a period of time. And that as electric rates went up we would recoup our money that much quicker. She agreed with me and we did it.
So far it has paid dividends beyond my expectations.
It bothers me that the GOP seems to dismiss the strengths of women. They do not respect women as equals.
Didn’t get plead guilty and get sentenced to life plus a thousand years? That is too good for him.
If pro sports were to crack down on the performance enhancing substance users(cheats) and ban them for life , they would end the problem they have. Athletes would not take the chance of being banned for life if they knew they would be gone the first time they cheated. And if they are stupid enough to use the stuff anyway they deserve to be banned.
So again I agree with you.
Eisenhower was the last of the really good republicans, in my opinion. He did warn us that the military industrial complex was going to become a problem, and he was right.
Until they actually attack the problem , I’m done with the church. I still believe in Christ, but NOT the church.
They don’t a woman to be able to get an abortion but they don’t want to make men take responsibility for child support.
I don’t want you to think I don’t love my son and grandson, though.
They like me, care for the women of our lives, too.
I’m proud of all four of my grandkids. The oldeest plays sax, basketball, soccer, is on the student council, and has all A’s. Her brother has excellent grades too and plays clarinet. Merri the fiddle player has excellent grades and does dance as well. That leave the little red head girl, two next month she already dances with big sister.
