Who would have thought that communism or communists could be dangerous? Apparently, communists are a choking hazard, contain small parts, and are not recommended for children under three years old. This is according to the warnings on the Create a Commie. I think it’s good advice but I would up the age a little to about, oh let’s say 150 years or so.
Several famous Commies are printed on the package, such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Karl Marx, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Leon Trotsky. Feel free to create your own Portrait of Hillary Clinton.
Apparently the benevolent government of the People’s Republic of China have the best interests of their citizens in mind when banning such things as websites and blogs. We really would not want to corrupt the minds of the Chinese with something as dangerous as though, free will, critical thinking or opinion.
Or maybe it is the capitalism that we must protect them from. Money is evil and it will corrupt their minds as well.
Whatever the case, I can’t consider the Chinese to be part of my Audience because the Great FireWall of China has stopped my blog’s electrons cold in their path to the workers Communist Paradise.
Seems like someone is always trying to convince me that the United States is the cause of every single war or conflict throughout history. More specifically, that President Bush is the man personally responsible for everything even remotely related to war. Of course even attempting to refute any such claim results in a slew of insults and claims of Jingoism.
I’m no historian, however, it seems obvious (to me at least) that war predates the existence of the President Bush and even the United States. The first instance of war I know of is the Border War between Umma and Lagash in 2500 BC which was a few thousand years before American Revolutionary War from 1775-1783. This does not stop people from making such unqualified statements as “America is the most violent country in history” or “No nation has ever invaded as many countries or killed as many people as the U.S.” and no one can ever provide any evidence of this.
Every American has the right and (in my opinion) responsibility to stand up for what they believe in. It is possible and even very effective to disagree with American foreign policy without lies and misrepresentation.
After several weeks and dozens of hours of research I have found that this is going to consume much more time than I anticipated. Therefore, this is and will remain for sometime, a work in progress. I’ve decided to go ahead and publish it while I’m working on it as the majority of what I have left is either aesthetic or just filling in the blanks. I’ve been as impartial and thorough as possible, if you find any errors or omissions of fact, leave a comment (with sources or references if possible) and I will research & correct it. Casualty counts are often disputed, approximated and/or unknown. The most reliable statistics are listed where available. Ongoing conflicts will most likely end up in higher casualty counts, those posted are current as of October 2007.

Proving once again that environmental hysteria knows no bounds, hundreds of morons sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide. Oh yes, hundreds of hydrophilic humans signed a petition to ban the common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life and covers 71% of the Earth’s surface. You’ve probably figured out we’re talking about water here, not some insanely dangerous chemical that makes your internal organs dissolve. So why would they do such a thing? Simple, because they are uninformed morons who will jump at the chance to climb onto any bandwagon that sounds like a good cause.
Water, aqua, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO), hydrate, hydric acid, hydrogen hydroxide, hydrohydroxic acid, hydroxic acid, hydroxilic acid, hydroxylic acid, oxidane, or even ?-oxido dihydrogen - Call it what you want, I’m sure we can all agree that without it we would be in serious trouble. It would be more understandable if one of the more obscure terms sere used, such as “Will you sign this petition to ban hydroxylic acid?” or Will you sign to ban oxidane?” Even then I would expect intelligent people who are protesting issues in an attempt to change global policies to at least ask some questions. If you don’t know what it is why not ask?
Michael Moore movies sure do seem to have a following. For some reason it does not matter how much truth or more importantly how many half truths, misrepresentations, mis-quotes, or outright lies the movies have. I wont even try to get into the lies Moore portrays as factual in the many movies. This is just a post with a short look into one of the reasons his films might be successful. As an added bonus it also includes a glimpse of what socialized medicine could be like in the future. If your a Sicko fan or if you just can’t get enough of Roger & Me or Fahrenheit 9/11, then you probably should not even bother watching this.
