Hello all members of this brand-spanking new forum!
In this space generously alloted to me by our lovely Admin, I'm going to be jotting down my thoughts on life, love and liberty..
Also any other "L" words that may remotely apply..
So come along with me on a journey into a mind that's both profound and twisted. Feel free to add your own thoughts and comments along my personal journey into literary obscurity if you wish!
Of course, you should understand that if your thoughts are better than mine, I'll probably ask Isis to delete them.. :lol:

The media has control of stories and facts they want released to the public. How fair are they, are the stories we see and hear one sided or presented with both sides of the coin?

Do they use their power for good or do you think they often abuse it? Here's a chance to have your say.....

Depending on the views of the contolling party\parties I think it is highly unlikely to get an honest unbiased report.

Ok, sure there would be those that do report on the facts at hand but depending on the location, item of interest and the possible ramifications alot of the news or stories would have to censored.
If not for the protection of ongoing interests, then for the sake of national security and political benefit.

If media barons can control and\or influence the views of the public to a personal political view then surely they would or do stand to benefit from the "promises" of the particular political candidate.

I've been reading the bible
Matthew 5:30
KJV: And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.


so if i cut off my right hand if it offends me
what do i do if my left hand offends me
i mean
what do i cut it off with Falco ?

You ask somebody else to cut it off for you..
Trust me, my friend; there are plenty of folks happy to oblige you..
And that's just family members. Never mind friends and acquaintances..
Frankly though, if your body parts offend you; you have more problems than anybody can help you with..

Next problem?

Next problem?

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other
specific laws and how to follow them:
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours.
They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? How?
B) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price
for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how
can I tell? I have tried asking, but many women take offence.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend
of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you
clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to
kill him myself or will you arrange it for me?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have
a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does
my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some slack here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by
Lev.19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev.11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments
made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also
tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to
all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone
them?(Lev.24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private
family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.
20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you
can help.

True meold

The media tries to controll your way of thinking , to many people believe 100% what they hear or sea .
The media to some extent is like what the church was years ago, a controlling body with many hiden faces pulling the strings , remember this , strings can be pulled in many directions and can be cut at any time , you have that power

Well; here's all the answers you've waited with bated breath for..

Yes. Yes you should smite them..Immediately..How? Every man is the chief priest in his own house, so your imagination is the limit on that one; but I will offer this advice..Get your hands on some Plutonium and Strontium 90..
It's all gravy from there..

Quote:

It depends..On the American or European market about 500 dollars is all you can expect..Now Arabs on the other hand will give you a truly sweet deal, even more if she's trained in womanly arts. Contact me if you need help with that. I'll do it..So you don't have to!!

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her

If your Jimmy comes out red; you're better off dead..

female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend
of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you

Mainly because Canadians tend to speak English; which renders them able to call the government about white slavery rings..Trust me; the stupid government ruins everything for white males ages 18 to 50..
Now if you can buy yourself one of those Quebecois seperatist people who only speak garbled French; go ahead and buy..Canadians make excellent slaves. Even better than the Portuguese..

Quote:
 
e) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to

If he's working on the Sabbath he's paying taxes..Thusly; he's rendering unto Caesar; just like Jesus said..So in a way he's following the correct commandment..
As a responsible neighbor and friend though; you should patiently explain to him that Caesar was killed thousands of years ago and he should take at least one damn day off..
If he still doesn't do that, it's your moral obligation to flay his skin from his body..

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.

As long as he's not getting Tea-bagged while eating lobster tails; God is cool with either one..

a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear Reading glasses. Does
my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some slack here?


Actually, "Sight" actually translates to "Taste" in this verse..If you don't see so well, that's fine..But if you approach the alter while wearing a "No fat chicks" shirt, black socks with sandals, and hawaiin print shorts, Yahweh will immediately smite you..
God hates poor fashion sense..

Quote:
 
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by
Lev.19:27. How should they die?


This commandment came from a time when long hair actually helped clothe people when the quality of fabric was poor and poverty was rampant..
Nowadays however; with our poly-conglomerate clothes; it's no longer necessary..
God now knows that long-haired guys are either gay; unemployed, or in a speed metal band..
If you kill every guy you see with hair past his shoulders with a claw-hammer, you'll gain automatic entrance to Heaven..

i) I know from Lev.11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?


Aren't you white? Then why are you worried about playing Football? You'll never make the draft..
But seriously, folks..That pigskin is covered with so many chemicals that the sin won't touch your skin..Go ahead and play!

Neither one..There's a good chance that beetles will ruin both those crops and he won't be able to buy his wife any clothes at all..
Sorry; but living with a farm family product has given me a realistic view of that situation..
the best thing for you to do in this case is to convince your uncle to get a job in rea-estate..

Well; I hope this helped..That's what I'm here for.. B)

Something I heard on the news today.

The IOC is looking into changing the times of Olympic Swimming finals to coincide with "Prime Time" televison coverage in the USA.
From what I did here this is the first time that this has been propsed. Generally the finals are held in the Afternoon\Evening. This will be changed so that they are held in the morning.
The Aussie Atheletes interviewed were not impressed, to say the least.
It seemed a general opinion that the record breaking times usually seen during finals will be hard to achieve.

When the Olympics are on surely that will be the thing to watch.
Commercials will be even more expensive as they are during the superbowl.
