And, story has to tell you that the young man was suspended from school because he had an empty baggy that had apparently contained pot. Supposedly now Martin had knocked down Zimmerman and given him a bloody nose. Of course there is always more to every story and that is why we have trials in court. But, it really boils down to this with me: There may have been a couple of bloody noses, smack to the head, knock down on the ground, and lots of yelling with a confrontation. However, there can only be a shooting if one brings a gun out! Zimmerman should have stayed in his car, let the authorities handle it, and left his own gun in the glove box. PERIOD! http://gma.yahoo.com/trayvon-martin-shooter-told-cops-teenager-went-gun-030349812–abc-news.html » Posted By SallyT On March 26, 2012 @ 3:33 pm KQ, I bet his old heart fit into a thimble. Definitely it wouldn’t stop up the toilet if they flushed it. 😉 » Posted By SallyT On March 25, 2012 @ 7:09 pm 😆 😆 Nirek, I’m glad you got to post that here! I wonder where they found a heart that would even work for him?? » Posted By SallyT On March 25, 2012 @ 7:07 pm Khirad, Ingersoll was also a successful attorney. And, yes, a lecturer that it has been said he could talk for 3 hours (without notes) and his audiences never appeared tired of listening. One of my favorite of his quotes is: “No man with a sense of humour ever founded a religion.” And his humor shown is: » Posted By SallyT On March 25, 2012 @ 6:32 pm Aide says Cheney had heart transplant. Gee, I never knew he had one in the first place that they would need to uproot to transplant in a new one. 😕 http://news.yahoo.com/aide-says-cheney-had-heart-transplant-230644930.html » Posted By SallyT On March 24, 2012 @ 9:20 pm CL, he was a very interesting gentleman. He claimed to be agnostic. I thought you might like to read how he addressed his party when they wanted him to run for Gov of ILL. I don’t think we would find someone like him now. “Good-by, gentlemen! I am not asking to be Governor of Illinois … I have in my composition that which I have declared to the world as my views upon religion. My position I would not, under any circumstances, not even for my life, seem to renounce. I would rather refuse to be President of the United States than to do so. My religious belief is my own. It belongs to me, not to the State of Illinois. I would not smother one sentiment of my heart to be the Emperor of the round world.” CL, okay just one more quote and I will stop. But, this one is so fitting today and he said this in 1897! “Churches are becoming political organizations…. Okay, I’ll stop for today but I have more for later…….. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 24, 2012 @ 8:20 pm And, Ingersoll was a Republican back when there was such a thing as a Republican. “It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon the book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people and for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have had nothing to do. And yet there are some judges dishonest and cowardly enough to solemnly decide that this is a Christian country, and that our free institutions are based upon the infamous laws of Jehovah.” “Our civilization is not Christian. It does not come from the skies. It is not a result of “inspiration.” It is the child of invention, of discovery, of applied knowledge — that is to say, of science. When man becomes great and grand enough to admit that all have equal rights; when thought is untrammeled; when worship shall consist in doing useful things; when religion means the discharge of obligations to our fellow-men, then, and not until then, will the world be civilized.” » Posted By SallyT On March 24, 2012 @ 4:13 pm Boy, Bito, reading the comments from others on that article gave me a headache. Of course, that isn’t anything against you! The article itself was very interesting. Thank you for posting. » Posted By SallyT On March 24, 2012 @ 12:52 am KT, that is so right that this was even more stupid because of the situation with that young man being shot in FL. » Posted By SallyT On March 23, 2012 @ 5:42 pm FC, after a few toasts with drinks, I have my own language. Sometimes you can even understand me or at least pretend you do to get another drink. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 23, 2012 @ 5:35 pm WHY do we have to see that someone running for President of the United States can fire a weapon and hit a target? He will never have to be at the head of a charge against an enemy. I thought that stopped with Alexander the Great. (Oh, I’m sure there were others after but you get my point.) Are we a third world country? I think I have seen those leaders with the title of General showing such abilities to their people. But the United States of America’s leader???? I would hope that our President would know how to resolve issues without a weapon in his hand. (And, this wasn’t showing hunting skills. That target was a silhouette of a man not a deer.) Ridiculous in so many ways. However, I will give Santorum credit for saying the comment was terrible and not just smiling and saying nothing. » Posted By SallyT On March 23, 2012 @ 4:06 pm Well, KT, the sun is shining! But, rain tomorrow. The hubby told me that he turned the guys at work onto Khirad’s video of the Angry Garbage Man. He said it was a hit and all the guys have been laughing all day. Of course, they hope none of them get that mad! One thing for sure, “You’re Fired” would be heard. But even garbage men need a good laugh once in awhile. Thanks to Khirad, they had one. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 23, 2012 @ 3:48 pm 😆 😆 😆 😆 » Posted By SallyT On March 23, 2012 @ 2:48 pm Escrib, he is there in that link! The guy looking over his shoulder is Mansion’s brother, Moondozer. Well, I don’t know how I got that link but there it is. :0: » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 11:01 pm Haven’t they all written books now? Book tour next? » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 10:45 pm Escrib, okay I am going to try this. Either you will see a picture of Mansion or just, oh hell, I don’t know…….. [img]-10195665482AA24AE3[/img] » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 10:35 pm Yah, right……certainly sounds like it to me. Hey, Terry, my forefathers were here first, so, how about you leave my country! Your forefathers tried to push your religion on us back then and stuck us on reservations. You were AHoles then, too. If you don’t believe in corn and Mother Earth, it is time for you to go! 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 10:19 pm And, Bito, that explains a lot to why those Southerners are the way they are today. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 9:52 pm Thank you, Bito, I didn’t know this and will watch those. » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 9:30 pm Kes, wow, that was very powerful and thought provoking. » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 9:28 pm Escrib, he looks so sweet. Did you know that greyhounds and great danes are related? Mansion thinks “F?ck Republicans” means lay down. » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 9:16 pm If you want people to believe our nation was founded on Christian beliefs, well, you just rewrite history. If you have a few minutes, watch this video. It is a good history lesson and corrects the lies that are going to be shown in 500 theaters on March 27th. Such as “the early Congress and Thomas Jefferson printing Bibles to spread the word of God to all American families.” NOT TRUE! » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 8:11 pm Oh FC! That is so sad, I mean your record collection. My husband sold his a few years ago and got a few hundred dollars for them. (I have my hidden. Ain’t going to find them! Along with my Beatles dolls and stuff. The grandkids can have them and do as they please when I am gone. Well, unless their mothers get a hold of them first!) » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 7:16 pm LOL, FC, me too! There have been times when I just want to throw things but I don’t because I will be the one to clean it up! So, I cuss up a storm instead. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 7:06 pm KT, we are a government of laws and those laws should be secular. Personal values are just that personal and yes you can have them without having a defined religion. Why our elected officials find it necessary to declare their religion and that is their values is beyond me. Of course, it is political more than religious for many. However, religious choices and even personal choices should not make our laws. The laws have to be secular and apply and work for all citizens. Does that make me idealistic? 😉 » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 6:38 pm FC, the trolls on that site last night were saying “Zimmerman 2012” and saying he should run for office. Now, those would love Ron Paul! My granddaughter is not political but she knows racism. She is dark, 3/4 Native American, and she has been accused of being black or Mexican. She handles herself very well in those situations. She told me that they had a discussion at her college about Ron Paul and she shared a few pointers on him from her Grandma. She told me that others started looking him up and are getting better educated. One can hope! » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 6:23 pm Murph, see below my response to AdLib. I give you the Federal Laws that are pertaining. These also give the doctor an out. This will become a Federal matter in the near future I am pretty sure. Just one complaint with OCR. I hope this helps you. » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 1:36 pm I still say that these states are going to have problems with Federal Laws governing medical records and a patients safety. The HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and the PSQIA (Privacy Rule Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005). These laws provided enforcement powers for the Department of Health and Human Resources’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in matters of patient privacy and safety. HIPAA Patients may see their records, correct them, be notified when information is shared and with whom, and designate with whom they may be shared. They may also file complaints with their providers or the federal government. PSQIA The Patient Safety Act established a system to report medical errors and health system problems that affect patient safety to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). I see someone in the very near future filing a complaint with OCR and the Federal Government will have to step in and get these A-Holes out. This will be the Federal Government enforcing less government in your personal life. (Oh, yah, the Repugs are for less government.) » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 1:09 pm Khirad, I had to show this to the hubby. Although he hasn’t been on the back of a truck in years, he laughed so hard watching this. He said that was a new one on him. He has thrown a few cans in his day but never pulled a mailbox out of the ground! And, the guy threw their mail in the truck, too! According to Mr. T it is all in the timing. The guy got pissed because that can threw off his timing. That can mess up the whole day and really pee you off. (A little tippet from a professional garbropolgist.) 😉 » Posted By SallyT On March 22, 2012 @ 12:37 pm I agree, AdLib, the President will be somewhat different when he no longer has to worry about re-election. And, some of these states with their crazy laws may find measures on their ballots that overturn them. People tend to vote different than they talk when they are in the privacy of that voting booth. (usually a little more liberal in their thinking. Of course, the religious right won’t do anything different. But, states with large cities have the voting power and overrule the outer areas. At least that is how it works here in Oregon.) » Posted By SallyT On March 21, 2012 @ 11:49 pmComments Posted By SallyT
“It may be that ministers really think that their prayers do good and it may be that frogs imagine that their croaking brings spring.” I love that one too! 🙂
(I bet what they found was an empty hole.)
— Robert Green Ingersoll, to the delegation from the Republican Party upon their asking him to be their candidate for Governor of Illinois — on condition that he remain silent about his religous views (not to change them, simply to remain silent), quoted by Joseph Lewis in “Ingersoll the Magnificent”
It probably will not be long until the churches will divide as sharply upon political, as upon theological questions; and when that day comes, if there are not liberals enough to hold the balance of power, this Government will be destroyed. The liberty of man is not safe in the hands of any church. Wherever the Bible and sword are in partnership, man is a slave.”
— Robert Green Ingersoll, “Individuality” (1873)
— Robert Green Ingersoll, “Reply To The Indianapolis Clergy” The Iconoclast, Indianapolis, Indiana (1882)
Now this lady that made the comment is being sought by the Secret Service. Gee, guess you weren’t that funny there, Lady! Hope they make her next few days troublesome with thousands of questions and background searches. Oh, and she will be on the “Watch List” for years now. Dumb, Lady, dumb!
I’d give you a picture but I don’t know how you get one out of your picture file on here.
Penalties
