Comments

What is this world coming to? It seems that the time has come that you’re not allowed to express yourself with a comment that you write on Facebook without it being deleted (and you don’t even have to use foul language for it to happen). Now I don’t know if it’s someone from Facebook or someone that would like a job as a dictator who is practicing on how to do it on Facebook. I can see comments being deleted for using foul language or something that would contain racism or hateful comments about someone or involving criminality and or violence. Otherwise I can’t understand why they would ask you for a comment if the intent is to delete your comment just because they don’t understand it or can’t tell the difference in what you’re expressing.

I would say before he/she/them start deleting people's comments they/he/she should keep up with the times and listen to the news and read the news to find out what is going on in this world. If they did that then and only then would they know when a comment would be inappropriate. Otherwise hands off.

Phonies or not?

I had a couple of friends that dropped in for a visit the other day. A conversation started about a few different subjects. One of the subjects was about some of the contents on Facebook and how phony some people were on some of the comments that they put on especially about their religious beliefs. The other day I read a letter to Jesus on Facebook, and the person that wrote it had written it as a love letter, it seemed, to a girlfriend or a gay boyfriend. I would say that was going overboard. To me the person that writes a letter like that to Jesus is not too well balanced in the brain department because Jesus was a man and not a female.

I understand some that write comments are genuine in their faith and some are just plain phonies who try and make believe that they really have faith just to belong with the ones who are actually faithful among their friends.

What I find weird in all of this I have never seen or read a comment or a love letter to the Virgin Mary, who is supposed to be Jesus’ Mother. I would say she was female. Well phony or not at least the word is being spread about Jesus and God and to my concern Jesus and God are one and the same as stated by Jesus “My Father and I are but one.”

What is revenge?

The other day I read a message on Facebook that someone had posted. What the post was about was less relevant than the responses that followed (not to be arrogant, I mean relevant to the topic of this post). I posted an answer to it. I wrote that God will take revenge for the sins that you haven’t confessed and asking forgiveness for them before dying is a good idea. The person wrote back that God was not vengeful. So I then answered back if God is not vengeful why does it say in the Bible that if you die and haven’t confessed your sins before dying then you will go to hell and burn for eternity? To me that would be revengeful of him for that person not listening to His words.

If that isn’t vengeful then what is it? If one of the kids ask you if he/she can go out and you say no because last night you did not come in at the time I told you (you didn’t listen to me), you are punishing that kid and you taking revenge for that kid not listening to you. That doesn’t mean that you are a bad person. It’s just that you want your kid to obey you. This is the same as the Ten Commandments in the Bible; if you defy any of those commandments then you are disobeying the Word of God. Therefore the punishment would be to burn in hell for all eternity.

Now this burning in hell for all eternity in a way doesn’t make too much sense to me for one reason. What if, on a winter morning bright and early you walk out to go to work and the sidewalk is icy and you fall? Now your upset and you say "Christ, why don’t they salt these sidewalks?" You're upset and using Christ’s name in vain. Then what if you walk out onto the street and get run over by a car and killed instantly? Does that mean you go to hell and burn for all eternity for having used Christ’s name in vain on the spurt of the moment?

Facebook monotony

Monotony on Facebook? Yes. I call it monotony when a certain thing is repeated and repeated over and over again. Facebook is full of monotony. For example, there is a post going around calling for Nancy Pelosi to be impeached. Pelosi is no doubt an idiot. But she is also a small fish in a rather large aquarium. I would call the White House, which is filled mostly with other gutless fish that are more worried about their fat paychecks than they are about their country, a big fish. What I would like to know is what are they going to do when the country is taken over and turned into a third world country?

Before I get back to Facebook, let me finish out this tangent. I would say Pelosi should be impeached. Instead though, why not call for impeachment of the big fish then go down the line of all the bottom kissers feeders that are sitting there? Take a chance on trying to impeach the big fish that pretends to be an American at heart, but truth be known, he’s showing himself to be a Muslim sympathizer at heart and has made it into politics just to bring America down to a has-been as a great power.

When I hear them talk about no man left behind, I can laugh. What about the doctor that helped to capture Ben Ladin? Why wasn’t any deal made to get him out of jail? What about the marine that is in jail in Mexico? He entered Mexico by a mistake he made because of the design of the highway. No, the supposed to be leader is no leader at all and he think he’s above the law just like the president that was deposed in Egypt a president of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Okay, back to Facebook now. Do you think Facebook will even make a difference in attempting to impeach Pelosi? No. It's political activism for the lazy. It's not going to help like voting, or calling your Congressman, or organizing meetings to talk to other voters. But the bigger problem is that something like this can show up in your Facebook feed numerous times. It becomes monotonous and you tune it out like commercials.

Games? If you like games I suppose it is okay, but I don't need 50 game requests per day. Stop it. I don't play them, don't ask me. I don't care if you need to invite friends to get to the next level or win game coins - just stop!

Similarly, I don't care to see a picture of what you are about to eat. Do you think anyone does? What do you think if someone starving in Africa saw your food picture?

I don't need to know that you are on your way to the bus, or you are at the library. If I need to get a hold of you, you narcissist, I will call you on the phone you are using to brag about being at the hockey game right now.

I pity this generation who think this is a normal way to live. For them, it may be, but for the rest of us, this is just stupid.

That is my rant for today.

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.

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.
