A close friend called me last night… lost a job.

Another person called me a week ago… lost a job.

A competitors company just folded… lack of business and more lost jobs.

A subhuman that pretends at humanitay called me yesterday… lost a job.

It’s not the ECONOMY stupid, it’s real souls, with lives to live, being raped in public through their wallets, while the elite meet to eat, beat off , and plan their next big rip off of the little people.

Those are tough words for a retired businessman, and retired MSGT to say, but it’s true. Bush and his croney/master Cheney have in connivance with the financial/military industrial trans-nationals taken us all to the cleaners, and left us there for someone else to pick up the tab.

I don’t know about you, but I simply cannot afford the $85,000 that’s my growing portion of our tax deficit ,mostly due to a war that our President lied to us and the world to get started, and does not have the balls to say he screwed up!

Can you afford the impact of this growing tax deficit?…. you will pay it!… thorugh lost buying power!, lost voice in government!, lost jobs!, you will pay!

Like the little girl in the Addams Family movies said…..”Be afraid, be very afraid!” Your elected government lies to you because YOU let them.

All the while, companies are going under due to cash flow issues, no one is buying their products. Yet CEOs are raking in hundreds of millions in bonuses and severance pays from these very companies for doing such great jobs. Stack on this that most of these ultra-millionaires and billionaires pay less taxes than any of us… well I am sorta getting pissed about it.

Our family net worth is a bit over 7 figures, but our net debt is higher so that we can try to keep 50 people employed and able to buy gravy and gasoline.

We are not considered wealthy, so we pay ALL our taxes even with accountants trying to find ways to let us use the loopholes the mega-rich enjoy.

You, and I are getting assfucked by the old purple shaft wrapped in rusty barbwire!

For Gods sake people, vote for something different this time around. I am Independent, I plan on voting all over the spectrum just to fuck with the system and maybe make a few differences.

We probably will be buttfucked by the next administration and the standing congress, but at least let’s choose a different set of sodomists to nail us, variety is the spice of life!

Can ya tell I am having a political moment?

LMAO, serious as hell!

Curhurock-opboink

This starts with just bhxob and forniss, doing counterpoint and point respectively.  Anyone of you can join in, and are encouraged to.  No one is right,  no one is wrong.

Point:

After nearly 52 years of wandering through tons of literature and miles upon miles of life, I have come to a solemn conclusion. The most important question in my life has changed. It was “Is god real?” (I will use the word god as both singular and plural to satisfy all of your concepts!) Now the question has evolved. “Does it matter, do I even care about the belief in god, real or not?”

I do in an oblique way believe in supreme evil as well, i see it in the hearts of men and women all around me, in fact, its the ONLY place I see evil, nature is not evil, only the heart of mankind

Counterpoint:

I should start his off by saying that I am agnostic. I believe that I don’t honestly know.

Atheism is a belief, of a specific non-belief.

Point:

Stepping back, I have to look outward and think of this in a “We” formation for a bit. Looking out at the 6 billion or so folk who trod this worn out planet, arou

All major nd 97.3% of those folk believe in some form of deity. The other 2.7% believe in atheism, which some classify as a religion with man as god. Either way you count it, most folks believe in something supernatural, that forgoes any rational explanation. So, whether it matters to me or not, it does matter to nearly everyone else. It matters to humanity that there is deity.

Counterpoint:

All religions are just sets of beliefs, each acting as a model or guide to some aspect of the universe the user is expected to intersect with. If it is not a model, or functional in some way, it is just exposition. Fiction, in this way, also has it’s place in many religious beliefs.

Models, religious or not, can be useful tools in our individual journeys through the ridiculously small bit of the universe that we interact with. Weather models, for instance, are functional guides for predicting inclement weather and hazards. They can also be wrong, but they act as a general guide to a system which is much to complicated to be reduced into a more empirical system, at the current time. This is an example of a scientific model, however. One which was developed through research and study over long periods of time. It produces useful information, regarding happenings in the weather on this planet.

Point:

The profitable reality of belief and religion reaches back to the first shaman who accepted a hindquarter of deer for a spiritual service rendered, or curse cast. The processing and manipulating of the need to believe is singularly the most profitable enterprise mankind has ever invented. Does the hypocrisy of organized religions/beliefs have a tinker’s damn of a relationship to whether god exists?

Counterpoint:

We have many other models that determine our human action. Destructive and inane are the realms of most of them. Either useless, for providing real information to the user, or completely ineffective. The situation that most humans are living in right now, for instance. We have societies of people who have no rational explanation for its belief in a god which does not present itself in measurable ways, yet they are willing to warrant their own exceptional behaviors in that god’s name.
