Third World War

A Third World War?  I don’t like thinking about stuff like this because it would be death and suffering the world over. And I mean suffering for the ones that would not be killed.

According to the news that I read about all these Dictators (meaning Iran and North Korea) it's certainly a possibility though.  In the case of , North Korea if they decided to attack South Korea then the USA will defend South Korea.  Of course then  China will get involve because they would not want the USA to be on their border and North Korea is still an ally.  With China and the USA involved a Third World War is almost a fait accomplis.

Then there is also Iran and the greatest instigator of them all - Ahmadinejad. It seems like he’s doing his best to aggravate the USA to attack them because of the statements that he comes out with its as if he had the biggest army and the most deadliest weapons in the world.

While he keeps on saying he’s not trying to build a bomb actually he could have another place underground working towards building one. Another nation that could and might decide to blow up his nuke centers would be Israel - for their own protection.  While all this diplomacy talk, his nuke experts could be trying to build a bomb. I think its about time that something is done because eventually he will have his bomb then it will be too late for diplomacy. Diplomacy is good to a certain extent, but a time comes when diplomacy is not working then it's action that is needed and in this case the sooner the better - before its to late.

That’s my rant for today.

I will not be posting any thing during the Holidays, so this is probably my last post for the year.  If it is, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Islamic cleric

I thought that some pastors in the U.S.A. would come out with some weird statements at times. This Islamic cleric has them beat with his ideas.

I was surfing the internet the other morning and here is what I found:

An Islamic cleric residing in Europe said that "women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any sexual thoughts.”

If any one is interested in reading about more stupid statements I would refer you to this site http://bikyamasr.com that I found all this on .He also has something for men they should stay away from. You want a good laugh? read all of it, even Islamists find this stupid.

December and January

This last month of the year and the first month of the following year each have a special holiday - Christmas. and  New Year.

In Canada it has always been customary to greet people with a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". Now though, because it offends some certain people, they want to refer to these holidays as "Happy Holidays".

Well, Mr. Harper being the Prime Minister you have the power to give us Canadians back our country. Mr. Trudeau took it upon himself to screw us Canadians by more or less giving this country away.  He had the power to do that, so you should have the power to reverse that.  Get rid of this Multiculturism garbage (and I could say the free trade agreement, but that might not be a good idea). When I hear someone say "don’t say Merry Christmas or Happy New Year because it might offend some one", my answer is "Go to hell, this is Canada and I am a Canadian and I will not change what has been a tradition as far as I’ve heard it for the past 77 years of my life".

On that note I will end this rant by wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This crazy world

This means WAR!!!!

I envy people that have to go out and work. My reason for saying this, is that while you're working, you're not sitting at home and listening to the news on the television or reading the news paper for lack of anything to do.

I know, upon reading this, some will say or think this guy must be crazy. Well after having worked for almost 60 years and then all of a sudden, sitting at home with nothing to do except listening and reading the news,  that’s how I discovered how sick this world is.

Santa’s work shop is sinking.

What some people won’t do or say in order to get money, even resorting to telling lies to kids. This morning I happen to look at the web and I found this. Where will Santa live?  I went on it to see what it was all about and this is what I read.

Santa’s work shop is sinking. Then it went on to say that thanks to climate change, the North Pole is no longer safe for Santa’s work shop. Help him relocate by purchasing his emergency supplies!

What kind of people is this that would scare kids with this kind of lies? This was also mentioned on the radio as to what was on his web site. 

That is my rant for the day.

Just a thought.

This is just a thought not a rant. I remember when I was a kid living on a farm and old enough to help my grandfather around the farm preparing the fields for when the time came to plant the seeds.

My job was first to harness the horses then get the manure wagon out and go to the barn and load it up. Then I would, of course, go to the fields and spread it all over, including the gardens. This was all new to me so I asked him why we had to spread all this stinking stuff on the fields?

His answer was that this is what we call fertilizing the earth to make it richer to feed the seeds so we can have a good crop.

This morning, for  some reason or other I started thinking about that and then it dawned on me. If that manure was to enrich the Earth then the seeds would be nourished by that same Earth that I spread all this manure on what exactly am I eating???

Like I said just a thought.  Have a good day.

                                        

Disappeared or lost.

Every day we read or hear of someone who has disappeared.  Once reported to the authorities an investigation is started  to find that person. Sometimes they are found alive and well and other times deceased or not found at all and so the search goes on.

In the kind of world we live in ,we all know that we can expect anything to happen. Kids being abducted,  raped then killed, it happens.  The same goes for adult woman and even men sometimes. The bodies are sometimes discarded as if they were just garbage. What happens when the  bodies aren't found, the families of these people that have disappeared have no closure.  Some of them will spend their lifetime believing that someday their loved one will show up or get a phone call saying that the love one has been found. With good or bad news.

This is all heartbreaking and it would be great if it never had to happen.  My solution?

People have implants inserted into their pets, so why not people? These implants for humans could be inserted through an orifice of the body and located somewhere inside the body where it could not be reached and there would not be any scar to indicate where this implant would be or that the person has an implant..If it was installed just under the skin the abductor/s would  know  where to look for it and then cut it out and throw it away. 

If for some reason or other the implant was taken out and thrown away some where it would be found then the only thing left would be to find the body because it would mean that a murder has been committed if there was any indication that the person has an implant. This could be monitored by the RCMP.

That’s my idea of the day.

Time for a clean up of this country.

As usual I was listening to my favorite program the talk show on the radio station CFRA hosted by Mr. Lowell Green. What I heard was that a survey was asked to different Muslim about terrorist groups and 35% support  Al Qaida  and another percentage which I could not hear, supported other terrorist groups. 

One example from a caller to the radio program, the man called himself just Ahmed, he claimed that a bomb should be dropped on Israel. Mr. Lowell Green has this taped. Now if this doesn't show that there is a potential of having terrorist groups starting up in this country, then what does?

Wouldn't you think that based to this survey (and others), that it's about time our politicians woke up and started looking at cleaning up this country? By that I mean weeding out these Muslims and send them packing back to their country, before this country is turned into a third world country with all the same types of killings that is being done in them.

I believe some of these Muslims are genuine in making a good life for themselves here, but what about the others who are for terrorist groups? Are they working here and sending some money back to their relatives and that money is then transferred to terrorist groups? Or are they getting  supplies for themselves to start a terrorist group here? Or both? There's a risk there.  I think our politicians should wake up to the fact that there is a potential for this to happen and before it does, a big clean up should be done. The sooner its done the less chance there is of this country becoming like a third world country with killings of innocent people because of a different faith. 

That’s my rant of the day.

Blabbering Idiots.

I like to listen to people having a good discussion, especially when there is no lull in the conversation. Suppose two people or more are having a discussion about any subject.  When one is almost finished talking, another one starts. That’s not to bad.  But when one has just stared talking and another one pops in and the two keep on talking at the same time, that raises  my blood pressure. 

When you get more then two people then it becomes a bunch of blabbering idiots. Each one has to say what they have to say and there is no way that they are going to stop.  It doesn't matter if the other ones keep on talking.  It all becomes gibberish to the ones listening.

There's also the ones that if you asked them a question, they start mumbling and keep on going, even if you try to cut in because that person is not giving you an answer to your question.

On the talk shows that I listen to every morning, there's a lot of that.  The only way that some of them can be stopped is for the host to hang up on them. They're just like one of those toys that you wind up and it will not stop until the spring is at its end.

That’s my rant of the day.

Dual personality necessary?

If you don’t have the ability to develop a dual personality, then don’t apply for employment that would require you to be involved with the public every day.

If at your work you are involved with the public,you soon realize that some people will treat you as if you are a  robot without any feelings whatsoever, with no personal problems. If you are employed by the federal, provincial or municipal government your wages are paid by the taxes collected from the public you will always have someone that will say "you work for me, I pay your wages". Here is a perfect example of what I’m talking about in less then two weeks in Ottawa.

One bus driver blew up at a rider and  he was dismissed from his job and a couple days after another bus driver just left his bus running on a bridge and walked out, telling the riders to take another bus. This was brought on by a rider asking him a question and the rider acting as if he were the driver's boss. Instead of the driver getting involved in answering the rider's question and maybe preventing an argument he just got off the bus. Smart move.  This might have saved his job.  Like I said, some of these people don’t realize that a bus driver is also human and has problems like every one else.  the bus driver is also tasked with the responsibility of making sure that these riders make it safely to their destination.  That itself can be nerve-racking some times.

You never know one of these days an employee of the OTC might do a repeat of some years back, when an employee went in and start shooting up the place. I hope it never happens, but with the stress that these employees are confront with every day it could repeat.

That is my rant of the day. 

                                          

Response to a comment.

This is in a reference to a comment that was made by another blogger in response to a post I wrote. The post was about the President not mentioning God in his Thanksgiving speech. This was his comment:

“However, I don't agree that Christians should keep quiet. They tried that in Rome and got fed to lions. Christians stating their opinion, where it contradicts the president is completely acceptable.” 

I agree in a sense that it was a good response but that was in the old days. The civilization in those days, if you want to call it that, was not as civilized as we are today. 

This is the 21st century.  I’m not saying those so called Christians should be punished for saying what they believe. I’m just saying to keep their thoughts to themselves and when election time comes then try to make a change for what they believe. Myself I believe in the words of the Bible and in one of the commandments it says “Though shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor”.

Now some of what they accuse him of might and might not be true - who knows? These days, wagging tongues work overtime and sometimes it's jealousy that makes them wag. And it could be something else that I will not mention.

As far as him doing the job that he was elected to do, I could not say if he does or not

That’s my rant for today.

               

Did you know the smartest animal in this world and is loved by most people is a dog because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

         

Ahmedinejad emboldened

Eh, I don't care.

Iranian leader Ahmadinejad must feel protected.  He hears reasons by some in the West and at the U.N., and from China and Russia as to why Iran should not be attacked.  This just encourages him to do what he wants.  He must be thinking he can do anything he wants and Iran will not be attacked.

All this unnecessary reporting of this situation and these responses only makes matters worse.  He knows that nothing will be done about it. I think as long as he has this in mind he will do what he wants and he will continue to get away with it.

Boats of the American coast, building nukes, suppressing his own people,  threatening to annihilate Israel - all of that is apparently okay.  His behaviour won't change until the reaction to his crazy behaviour changes.

That’s my rant for today.

No mention of God.

On Fox news I read all the comments by some people that call themselves Christians. According to the Bible a good Christian is not supposed to cause any harm to others physically or mentally. I read about President Obama omitting God in his Thanksgiving address. That's un-Christian. I will say that was wrong of him to do that. It was also wrong for some of you to blast him as you did, that is un-Christian as well.

Some of the people that commented are suppose to be Christians. I guess their kind of Christianity is different from real Christians, because a real Christian would keep his or her thoughts to themselves until the time came that they could do some thing about what they think instead of stooping to name calling of all sorts.

I am not an American, but I read and listen to the news. Instead of blasting this President why don’t you keep your thoughts to yourselves and when election time comes, then you have your choice of who you want the President to be.

In the meantime, show your Christianity by keeping you thoughts to yourself. Some times a person will criticize others with good reasons as far as they are concerned but there are other times that criticism comes back to you, doubly.

I know what I’ve written here will offend some people but it was not meant to be offensive. As a Christian I tried my best to write this as politely as I could.

Any comments? Write them down but please keep it civilized.

Have a good day.

Innocent until proven guilty

To my way of thinking, and to most people in the western world, a person should be considered innocent of a crime unless proven guilty. If someone is caught in the act then locked up until their court date, that is when the person accused will try and prove themselves to be innocent of the crime.

OTC driver

Just recently it’s been reported on the radio and in the Ottawa Citizen that an OTC bus driver abused a rider verbally with a physical threat and using foul language   A video was taken of this and supposedly posted on youtube. com  as well as on twitter. I heard the video when it was played on the radio station CFRA minus the foul language.

Could it be?

The end of the world is approaching according to predictions that have been going around lately. Or once again.  Well I don’t know about that, but if you have been reading the news and listening to reports from the people quoting the Bible, it says that before the end of the world arrives there will be storms, like we never seen before, disease that can not be cured and just recently one disease has been discovered that there is no cure for it

So far we have had all this stuff happen and we're still getting them.  There have been earthquakes - recently in Quebec here, we  a little one (4.1 magnitude).   Recently  Afghanistan and Pakistan had a 5.5 earthquake and Oklahoma had a 5.6 magnitude one.  There's also been a lot of flooding going on. I’m beginning to wonder if these guys are right in their prediction of the end of times.

I guess when it happens a lot of us will not have to pay for any more heat in the winter.  So maybe it's not so bad.

That’s my rant of the day.

Euthanasia

An elderly person 60 years old or older, that is always sick and can’t take care of himself or herself should be allowed to be  euthanized  if ask for by the patient..  As long as the patient has the full capacity of his or her brain and the advice of at least two doctors that there is no chance of recovery of his or her sickness or  because of the effects of his or her age. 

Then this person could die with dignity and make room for another that the doctors might be able to save. This is only if the patient asks for it and not the relatives unless the doctors agree and not the relatives' doctor.

But it has to be the ones hired by the hospital because a relative could be heir to the estate (if there is one) and have no love for the patient but a desire for the estate. I know a lot of people would be against this because the Bible says thou  shall  not  kill. But to me it would not be death of anger or hate but in helping someone to die with dignity.

That is my rant of the day.

Canada and the USA

In the past, Canadian relations with the United States used to be A1, but because of those Liberals from the past being anti-American, friendly relations have dropped considerably.

A law that should not exist.

In the USA they have a law that says a  president can only serve two terms. I find this law bizarre if I can use that word. It means when you have a good president that has the country running like it should be and an election comes up after two terms, no matter how good he or she is, out they go. Now you can see what this law can do.

Pollution

Are we polluting the earth with chemicals?  Since the beginning of the world, humans were being buried once deceased or some were cremated one way or another. At some point came crematoriums and embalming fluids. Nowadays whether a person is berried or cremated the embalming fluid is used.

Brainless

This morning I was sitting by the computer which is next to my front door. The door was wide open and all of a sudden I heard little voices. I looked out and what I saw was a woman walking in front of about a dozen kids, all hanging on to a rope to make sure they all stayed together. I would say that this is a good way to keep all the kids together but there was no adult in the back to make sure that all the kids held on to that rope.

I find this kind of stupid because any kids could of let go and run out onto the street. I would say these kids would be about 5 to 6 years old.  Any one of them could of let go and run to catch a little kitten or puppy. Kids of that age can’t be trusted to do what they are told to do. When it comes to a cute kitten or puppy they have a mind of their own. They wouldn't care about an automobile coming down the street . They  could easily run in front of it. 

If I ever see this again, I will follow and see where this lady goes with these kids and report her. She needs to be reported for being careless and brainless.

That’s my rant of the day.

Liberals again.

Here we go again. The Liberals showing once more that if they were in opposition, it would become a cat and dog fight and this government would not get anywhere.

Volume control

Televisions and radios should all be made so radio and TV stations can’t boost the volume when commercials come on.  

Back in 2010, President Obama signed a law to stop it in the U.S.;

President Obama has signed a new law requiring TV broadcasters to back down on the volume of those pesky commercials that suddenly blast your eardrums.

But the laws don't take effect until December of this year.  I know the law in Canada is supposed to take effect in September 2012.  They won't be allowed to boost the volume but we still get it now.  The changes can't come soon enough.  It's enough that as it is we are paying to watch commercials instead of TV programs (as it is we get about 20 to 21 minutes of a half hour program) so we don’t need those commercials blasting out.

Quebec - Here we go again

Everything in French and French only.

Politicians are at work again. This politicians want to rebuild the Bloc Quebecois again.I read this in the French newspaper the other day.

Just what we need - more French sovereignty. More French, more French, more French.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

These politicians here in Quebec are so scared that the French language will some day disappear that they don’t stop to think and ask themselves "Do we have what is necessary to go on our own?"

Beautification

Beautification - I don’t know if this is the right spelling of the word but it's when the Pope declares a person a Saint.  So why do I want to talk about that?

Football saints are called saints too.

Something puzzles me about saints.  I  remember when I was a kid, we were always told that a Saintly person is perfect.  In other words without sin and/or did not do anything that would be against Jesus' teachings.  The other thing I recall is that you could pray to that saint to obtain favours.  But this happens only once the person has passed away.

What I’m wondering is how do they know if that person is like what they say?  How does he or she qualify for sainthood? It's only because the Pope says they are a saint that they become one.  Do they follow that person around 24 hrs a day, even when that person is sleeping?  That person could be putting on a good front when with other people but inside be just as bad as the next person. The actions when they are alone, the thoughts that they have, could be all different then what everyone else sees from that person. This doesn’t make any sense to me. If any catholic priest reads this and can explain it to me I would really be interested. Mind you I’m not being sarcastic just curious because I can’t see any sense in that.

Tougher Laws

When Prime Minister Mr. Harper was running to get re-elected in the last election he stated that he would bring in tougher laws for criminals. That is fine, but with tougher laws it means more people in jail and more jails would be needed. As it is now to my understanding, the jails are now overflowing and to build jails is costly. But I have a good solution on where to get the money to build them and there would not be any reason to raise taxes to cover the cost.

The first thing I would do is do away with the CBC. Privatize it and then billions would be saved just by doing that. I find CBC useless, boring and a drain on taxpayers' money.

Second, any adult that immigrates to this country and break the law (and it's considered a federal crime) and are found guilty without a doubt, should be deported right away with no chance of coming back. And there should be no appeal - this would also apply to any teens that came here with their parents. But when it comes to a provincial crime, then every one is equal. No jail time would apply for breaking a provincial law but give them double probation and make them pay the court costs if they are found guilty.

I know some will say 'yes but new laws would have to be written'. I say fine and at the same time, the old laws that were not brought up to date could be revise and bring them up to this century..

That’s my rant of the day - tougher laws and ways to save tax payers money.

Republicans

These Republicans are lucky that I never took an interest in the politics of the USA because by what I’ve read lately about what they are doing I would have plenty to say.

These people seem to be more interested in building up their party then looking at helping out the country. Lately I’ve been paying more attention, and to me they are acting the same as these liberals were acting here in Canada. Here in Canada the libs would veto anything that the party that was elected to run the country would propose.  They were more or less acting like cats and dogs.

They were more interested in trying to show that their party had better Ideas.The results for their efforts ended up in disaster and  now they are in the trash can and that’s where they belong. I hope they never recover, and if they do I hope the new liberals would have people with more intellect then what they had in the past. From what I could make out they were a bunch of educated  fools. They had brains but didn’t know how to use them properly.

It seems like the Republicans are doing the same in the USA.  In other words, stopping the wheels from turning. A couple of weeks ago I wrote to a blogger that blogs about what goes on in the USA and about what I thought as to what was going on in the USA and he put it on his blog.

A President cannot do a proper job if he is stopped at everything that he proposes -  like his proposal for creating jobs which are badly needed in the United States. His bill expressed how it would be paid for. Yet the Republicans turned it down because they didn’t want the rich to pay more taxes. I guess they are looking for votes for the next election and I guess the country can wait.I am not from the USA but people have to live and work in order to live and it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from.

Whiners without a cause - Part 2

Yesterday I complained about people who complain about smoking.  Guess what - I'm not done.  There are some people that don’t like the smell of alcohol but I don’t hear anyone complaining or try to get some kind of law to make sure that people who indulge in that stuff do not breath in the direction of a person  who doesn't use alcohol.  There's no movement to ban second hand alcohol fumes.  Or did I miss that protest march?

Whiners without a cause - Part 1

I called this post whiners without a cause because of what I had read in the Ottawa Sun newspaper earlier this week. According to what I read, the health department has conducted a poll in Ottawa and it appears most people would embrace an expanded smoking ban that includes restaurant patios, parks and beaches.

Pastors in the USA.

I was reading on CNN this morning about this pastor Jeffress telling the people not to vote for the White House hopeful Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon.I've lost the link but you can read some of the details in this story.  This reminded me of the other pastor that wanted to burn the Qu'ran.

Does this pastor think that being a President includes changing the people's mind on whatever faith that they believe in? I wonder if in his Bible it states ( Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Or does it say do unto others then run before they do unto you?)

Apologies

To some people this word Apology seems to be a word that shows weakness in a person. I would say that a person that thinks does so because that person has not interacted with different kinds of people in this world. To find out when to use this word and by using it at the proper situation can result in a way that would be surprising.

Crashing of a Helicopter

Wait for the tie-in.

I was reading on CNN the other night about a helicopter crashing in the river in East Manhattan.In the crash a woman in her early 40's year had died.  This was the 28th helicopter crash in East Manhattan in three decades.  That's about one crash per year.

Now what prompted me to rant about this, is what I read on some of the comments on the CNN page. Some idiot had written and I quote, “why couldn’t your God stop the crash?" Another said  "There is no God and when your dead your dead.”

Unbelievable election

It's true.

I cannot believe after all the complaints against Premier McGuinty before the Ontario election, about his broken promises with regards to the taxes and Wind Mill contract, that he was elected yet again.  True, he was only voted back in with a minority government. What this man has done to the province though,  he should have been thrown right out completely. He was called a liar and a tax man and still voted back in. I can’t understand that.

I heard on television yesterday morning that he was back at work. I’m just wondering when he found out that he was voted back in and whether he was thinking about what he could tax next. Should I make a silly statement and say not to be surprised if he comes up with a tax on toilet tissue and call it a luxury tax?  Who knows, maybe that's not all that far-fetched for him.

Roadside service

I’m wondering about these people that have roadside service selling hot dogs, french fries, hamburgers and whatever else.  Some of these people are in these stands 8 to 10 hours a day and maybe even more. They must have to go to the bathroom. Where do they do that? And do they wash their hands afterwards? If so, do they have enough water to use clean water each time they have to wash their hands?

This is potentially really, really disgusting. I can see the ones that are in the city can always go to a service station and wash up there, but what about the ones along the highway where there is no service station or  restaurant?

We all know that in every group there is at least one bad apple -  the one that has no consideration for other people. What that person thinks he or she can get away with,  will try to get away with it.

In other words you buy from one of these places and you might also be buying some one else’s germs or  disease.

That’s my rant of the day

Predictions

This isn't exactly a rant but more a comment on something I've read.  It's cross-posted on my B0b's Ghosts. Below are some predictions according to the book that had I mentioned previously called God’s Final Witness.

In this book it predicts that the end of the world will be on May, 27,2012 when Jesus Christ will return to earth. Prior to him returning to earth, there will be tribulations like we have never seen before and apparently it is already started with all these storms and earthquakes that are happening.

According to this book it says that there will be billions of deaths. There will be more terrorist attacks and eventually a Third World War. The USA will be the first to be attacked.

I just want to be clear so that no one thinks that this is my imagination - I have just quoted parts of what is written in this book. I also previously mentioned what they had predicted in 2006 what would happen to the economy in the USA and the credit rating. I tend to believe that these people know what they are talking about given that they were accurate about the collapse in 2008. Being an ex-Catholic, what I was taught and preached by them, minus the lies that they made up as scare tactics to make people believe that what they preached were true facts, they also predicted the end of the world but gave no date or year. They did mentioned about these 7 trumpets which is also mentioned in this book but I could never understand it except to say that to me it sounds like some kind of warning. According to this book one or two of those trumpets have already sounded.

Are you clean?

I'd rather shower.

While taking a shower this morning and then rinsing the soap off me, I watched the soap run off and then a thought came to my mind about when someone takes a bath.

They fill up the bath tub get everything ready - towel, soap, shampoo and whatever else they need. Then they wash and after they are finished, they come out and think that they are clean. Well I don’t think that they are. I would prefer a shower and when you come out, then you can claim to be clean.

Dual personality

I don’t know for sure but to me, alcohol seems to brings out a second personality in some people after a certain amount has been consumed. I know some people that have a nice personality and they would give you the moon if they could. After consuming a certain amount of alcohol, they are not the same people at all. These people do not have any friends or family at all. Once the alcohol hits their brain they become strangers.

That is where in their mind, they are the best in the world and they know it all, and as for the language that they use, it is unforgivable. They must think that they are immune to everything. It’s too bad alcohol works like that on some people's mind. They don’t think of other people's feelings either. They think only of their own feelings - don’t try to have a talk with them. Once they are under the influence, they are the only ones that can talk.

It’s not tobacco that the government should try to stop people from using, its alcohol they should try and stop. Alcohol causes just as much problems in this world as does money. I have never heard of an accident or robbery because of someone being under the influence of Nicotine.

That is my rant of the day.

The Premier of Ontario

I don’t even want to write his name down the way he’s putting himself first before the province of Ontario.

Now what?

So now there are talks about some Liberals wanting to merge with the NDP, according to what was reported on something on the television about a week ago. Bob Rae was on and when he was asked about it, he said no and Justin Trudeau the son of the departed former Prime Minister P.E. Trudeau said it was worth talking about. Bob Rae is against that because he has been saying all this time that he wants to rebuild the Liberal party. I get the impression that if he can rebuild the party that he would position himself as being the first to be elected by the party to be their full time leader. By joining the with NDP, he would be out of luck. After all he left that party for what he considered greener pastures.

Not quite perfect

I say our Creator made a mistake when he created the human species, specifically, the female kind.

There are quite a few woman that I know that I find are real nice but at a certain time of the month they become monsters and dangerous to mankind. This time of the month is disaster time for both sexes - one runs for cover while the other throws everything that they can put their hands on, develops a vocabulary of words of their own and their imagination runs on overtime until the PMS is over. I'll let you guess which sex is which.

Alcoholism and drugs.

This little store at the corner by my place opens at 8:00 am. The other day I needed some bread so I went down to buy some first thing when it opened. I wasn't in that store 5 minutes when this woman came in and went straight to the fridge where the beer was. Less than a minute later she turned around and yelled at the lady at the counter, asking "Where is the Labatt's Blue?" The clerk at the counter answered her quite politely that they had ran out of it but that she would have some during the day. Believe it or not that clerk really got a speech from this alcoholic woman. I felt like telling the woman to get out.

Bribe money

Here we go again with Ontario provincial Liberals. Has anyone ever noticed this scenario? Throughout the term of the Liberals, if they are asked to contribute to a project that would serve the citizens better, they always claim that there is no money for it. But when it gets close to election time, somehow money reappears that was not supposed to be available because the province could not afford it.

Television: sickening

I was looking at the blog called Nonsensible Shoes this morning and there was an odd ad called 'We the People'.  I followed the link and where it says "News of the day" I read where it said 'Fall TV: Heavy on Sex'. I'm not sure why the ad turned up there but it led me to a thought about sex on TV;  really, what’s new?

The Federal Liberals

I was reading the Ottawa citizen this morning and I ran across an article about Bob Rae. In it he was discussing the loss the Liberals suffered in the last election in Quebec. The interim leader never mentioned that they did not get too many votes in any of the other provinces.

If they had gotten a reasonable amount of votes, they wouldn't have lost so many seats. He also stated that they have to try and regain the support of Quebec.

Whiners

I guess you might say that I’m just as bad as those I'm going to rant about now, because I rant about some thing every day. Yes, I rant everyday. But the reason I rant everyday is to show how stupid some of these people are.

Penny pinchers

I was listening to the radio station CFRA talk shows like I always do from Monday to Friday mornings. Some times the things I hear on there are unbelievable. According to the host of one of the talk shows this morning, he had some good news to tell the people of Ontario. It was also in the Ottawa Citizen this morning. The good news from Ottawa Hydro was that their hydro bill would be reduced by five cents a month starting next year.

OTC: Ottawa Transit union silliness

An Ottawa bus driver recently got caught driving on his route with passengers on his bus. A rider had taken a cell phone video of him, showing him filling out some kind of form while driving and even occasionally using his knees to hold the steering wheel. He also had a briefcase on his lap. Now the union wants to make it illegal to take a picture of the bus drivers. They claim its invading their privacy.

Using God as an excuse

Some people in Third World countries are using God as an excuse to torture and kill people. Quite often they then raise their arms and yell 'God is great'. Not only do they kill strangers but they are also just as quick to kill their own. Are these people suppose to be humans? When the killing is done simply because some people practice a different faith, and then they say 'God is great', they must be multiplying their chance of going straight to the lake of fire upon their death.

Looking for trouble

I took this out of the Ottawa citizen today Saturday July 30th.

OTTAWA — Secret shoppers working for the official languages commissioner are to fan out across the capital in mid-August to test whether they can get service in French.

This is what I mean when I argue that its mostly politicians that are causing this trouble with bilingualism.  Now they are going after the private sector. I hope they find what they are looking for because if not, then we are in for a lot of mumbling about bilingualism.

Celibacy

If anyone listens to a Catholic Priest as to why they take an oath of celibacy, they would find out that this oath is ridiculous.

Here is my reason for saying this: As a kid the Catholic Priest use to tell us that the oath of celibacy is to show that all your love is for God and God only, no one else. So it means that if you have intercourse, you can’t love that person. But according to the Bible it's considered lust and lust is considered a sin if you have an intercourse without love.

So we are screwed so to speak. If you have intercourse without love it's lust and if you love the person then your denying your love to God. Now what choice do we have? I made my choice a long time ago.

The Stoning of Soraya M.

I just finish watching this documentary/dramatization for about the third time. It's about a woman in Iran being stoned to death because of the archaic legal system and ruthless medieval mentality. It was even done under false pretenses too. I can’t believe that in this century this kind of inhumane conduct is still going on, and even being sanctioned by a government. This documentary begins with the claim that it’s a true story. I don't think there's any doubt that it is.

Canada - What a pitiful nation

Canada - what a pitiful nation.  I'm saying this as a Canadian, and I’m saying this because of who it seems we have left to elect to manage this nation.  The only decent party we have now to run this country is the Conservative party. We do have the opposition which is the NDP, but then they were only elected to get rid of the Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois, but we got more then what we bargain for with the NDP.

Incompetence at Rogers

I previous wrote a post about Rogers (the telephone company) and the incompetence that exists in that company.

The Trial of Casey Anthony.

Before I write this I just want to make sure that everyone understands that what I’m going to write is entirely my opinion. Also, just to make sure, I am not accusing anyone of anything. Call me paranoid in the age of the Internet, I don't want to get in trouble for libel. That's why I'm saying this is just my opinion.

I previously mentioned in one of my post that I learned to more or less watch the expressions on people's faces when they would talk and walk and the way they would look at you. The ones that are truthful would look at you at eye level but the ones that lie would look at your forehead I guess thinking that you might think that they are looking at you at eye level. And at the same time their expression on their faces don’t match their statements.

Bread makers

A few posts ago I was complaining about appliances that looked good but weren't dependable. Still true. But I mentioned I would talk about bread makers and their recipe books next. So I am posting about it now. And I'm a post or two late, it wasn't next. Sue me.

Atheists

Yep.

I read a lot about these people - especially the ones in the USA. Here in Canada, I imagine we have some too but we don’t seem to hear too much from them. I think they know that it wouldn't do them any good to complain because they know that it would be useless for them to try to bully people with their non-believer bull here. We are a Christian nation and I doubt very much that these non-believers could change that. They could try but I think they would be wasting their time.

I might be old but not senile yet

I hope someone out there can give me an explanation for what I am going to write here. Like I said in the title I might be old but not senile and when I’m awake I am awake.  Now this might sound crazy but last week there was one night I had trouble going to sleep so I just laid there with my eyes closed hoping that I would fall asleep. The only sound I could hear was low music on the radio and the snoring of my dogs.  Wait, it does get crazy.

They all look good

They all look good. What I mean is they look good and end up being good-looking pieces of garbage. What are 'they'? Most of the things made today are not made for quality but for looks and with the expectation that consumers are stupid enough to fall for looks instead of quality. They are typically right.

What a crazy mixed up world this is.

The reason I’m saying this, is because some people are working at jobs as councillors and they are not qualified for the job.

Here are some examples.

Some people are employed as counselors on how to raise kids or fix marriages. A lot of these people can only advise based on what they had read in books while they were taking the course and whatever their professors would give them in a lecture. They are not experts. A lot of those people have never had any experience in raising kids or were never married.

Greedy landlord

I'm posting today about what I call greedy landlords. The greedy ones are the ones that will lease a basement apartment to anyone without any regard for the safety of the tenant and are asking top price.

Above the law.

Are the police and taxi drivers above the law?

We all know that while driving we are not allowed to have a hand-held telephone or anything that would distract a driver from driving safely. Now what I’m wondering is this - are the police above the law? Because what happens when they have to enter a license plate number on their computer while they are driving? I ask this because most of the time I only see one policeman in the patrol car and that is the driver. I know when getting a message from the station they use their shoulder microphone to answer. What about when they receive a call from the station and given a plate number and they have to mark it down? I’m sure that in heavy traffic they will not pull over and mark it down.

The only way to show the people that the police are not above the law is to have two policeman in a patrol car. This would also be more security for the officers on patrols.

What about the taxi drivers when they get a call from the dispatcher? They have to reach over and pick up their microphone and sometimes the driver doesn't know where to go to get to the address that is their destination. They stay on until they get some instruction from the dispatcher on how to get there. I’m not suggesting that there be two in the car for these guys. But they should be equipped with a map of the city and pull over and find where they are suppose to go.

Really the point is a law isn't a legitimate law if doesn't apply to everyone equally. And in the case of police, they really should be serving as role models when it comes to obeying the law.

That's my rant today.

Immigrants

When I hear  people,  say "oh, we can’t get a job because the immigrants take them". That is because they will work at jobs that a Canadian will not work at and will say it doesn't pay enough. The Immigrant will come along and take the job and be happy to get the wages from it. And they'll stretch the money out as far as they can.  Even though he or she is working at minimum wages they will live better on that than a Canadian would on the same wage.

Priest

When I was a kid living with my grandparents in this little town in Quebec, we had a priest that had the same answer for almost any thing tragic that would happen. His answer would  always be "it was God's will". As kids we always had some questions for him because the monastery used to be next to the school and whenever we were on break he would come along and talk to the kids and as I said, we always had questions to ask him.

Cellular telephone companies are the worst!

In my opinion cellular telephone companies should be monitored by the government.  Not regulated - monitored.  Some of the stuff they do seems to be violating something. About a year ago I had a complaint in regards to Rogers Wireless. I was told by a friend of mine to call the CRTC which I did. When the person answered I told her what my complaint was but she told me that they had nothing to do with these companies. Was she too lazy to take my complaint or did she not know?

Facebook is stupid

I had never been on Facebook until some one told me it was a fun site. So I checked it out. I went on it only to find out that its not that funny and mostly at times its depressing and boring.

It's that time of year

This is the time of the year where you really find out who washes before going to work. If you are using the public transit you know what I mean. No doubt there are some that wash and then there are dirty ones.

Backing up carelessly

On quite a few occasions, I've noticed some people backing out of their driveways or parking lots without looking backwards to see if the coast was clear of pedestrians or traffic. It's mostly old people that can't turn their body or head enough to look back like they should. This includes some middle age people too, because of their stomach being so big that it presses against the steering wheel which prevents them from turning to look backwards. Then there's the teenagers who keep on talking to someone in the car or on the phone and backs up at the same time. I almost got hit by an idiot backing out of his driveway when I went to the store this morning.

Warehouse (for people).

Not me.

Whenever I would go and visit my mother in a senior citizens building. The thought that came to my mind was that I was coming into a warehouse of old people just waiting to die. Then I began to feel sorry for the ones that were in there. I realize some were moved in there because relatives could not take care of them or they could not afford it or just wanted to put them away because the relatives did not want to care of them. Others, the love for them had disappeared since they were too old to help anyone else. Or life was made so miserable for them that they preferred to be in those buildings. And some simply could not afford the rent that they had to pay according to the amount they were receiving on their pension.

Sissy Boy

I was reading the about Anderson Cooper's report on this boy being born a “sissy” and the treatment that failed him miserably.  It reminded me of what I had written, about another blog that I sometimes read. Ironically, the it's also on CNN - it's about religion. On that blog they claimed that when God created man that had the genitalia of both man and woman then changed his mind and separated the two and created the woman.

Licence plates for bicycles

Enjoy your rights of the road...

I was listening to Lowell Green’s radio talk show on C.F.R.A the other day about people complaining about bicycle riders thinking they have full rights of the roads. I have to agree with them because some of them are just as brainless as the people that use their telephone or text in unsafe conditions.

The Liberals, The Budget, Groundhogs and May

Since the last election federal election in Canada, we've been hearing the Liberals say “We will build the party up again” and yet who have they taken on as interim leader? None other than Bob Rae. I guess it shows they are not trying too hard. First it was Mr. Ignatieff and now it's Bob Rae. Neither one a home grown Liberal party member.

Calculators and Cellular Phones in Schools

Calculators and cellular phones just should not be allowed in schools. I find that they are more of a distraction than any good they might offer. My reasons for thinking this?

Young and Antiques

That's right, I'm cool...

This is the season that we hear music that we can do without. Both young people and 'antiques' that have over-sized speakers in their cars drive by with their music blasting. It's often so loud that when they go by your house, they rattle the windows. Some of them don’t even have the decency to turn off their music when they decide to stop at a friend's house and go inside for a visit. What is that all about?

It's a Bad Idea

I realize that the biggest majority of us in Canada wanted to do away with the Liberals and some with the Bloc Quebecois. But I think there was a big mistake made by the ones that voted for the NDP. Mr. Layton has proved me right again. I stated on my previous post that it was not the ordinary citizen that has been talking about separation, but the politicians. Layton has done it again. What I read in the Citizen News, The National Post wrote some thing about it.

Are we in trouble?

Special guy?

Here we go again, talking about Quebec wanting to separate. I said in a previous post that it’s not the ordinary citizens that are talking about separation it’s the politicians.

This morning I was listening to Lowell Green’s talk show (again) on radio station CFRA. What did I hear Mr. Green stating? That the leader of the opposition in the House of Commons stated that Quebec would only need 50%+1 vote to separate. I believe Lowell Green is correctly quoting Mr. Layton. Mr. Green has all the facts in front of him.

Open letter to Lowell Green

Mr. Green,

I was listening to your rants again today about Quebec being responsible for the NDP being elected as the opposition party in Canada, and calling the people of Quebec stupid.

The morning talk show on the CFRA radio station

I was listening to the Lowell Green talk show this morning and one of the topics came up about the Liberal party and he was asking the people if they thought if the Liberal party would come back as power full as they were.

I am not predicting Doomsday

I just want to make sure that whomever reads this, that I am not predicting doomsday. I will say the way things are in this world as I keep on reading and listening to the news everyday. I have come to the conclusion that with the weapons that we have now, and with the lying and hypocrisy of the rulers of some Nations and the traitors that will steal classified documents just to satisfy their greed for money.

Gadhafi the Devil?

I was listening to the news on the CNN the other day, and there was a report that the government troops were supplied with Viagra pills to rape woman. If that report is true, this man is not only a killer of his own people, but also a pervert. He should be taken out and get the same treatment as Saddam Hussein did. Gadhafi is an evil human being that does not deserve to live. So far if it’s true according to what has been reported, he is not only a thief, but a murderer and a pervert, and a liar and a terrorist.
