My parents didn't teach me that.

The red headed controversial alderwoman from Randleman, NC posted a video of a Negro man
claiming that it was white people that decided to call him black but he didn't see color.  Yea right. 
First of all, the term "black" was first used by the Negro people but then they finally decided on being called African-American but recently have decided that they would just as soon be called black so do not blame white people for that one.  Back then white people had a name for them that is not politically correct today. 
  Secondly, my parents didn't teach me to call people names.  I didn't learn to call people japs, or spics, or wetbacks, or any other derogatory name.  They did teach me the song, "Red, yellow, black, or white they are precious in his sight.  Jesus loves the little children of the world."  Do they get credit for that? 
  Thirdly, black people are just as prejudice as white people are.  White people just happen to be the majority and hold political and economic dominance  but if the situation had been reversed then we would be the oppressed ones. 
  I served in the military overseas and in areas that had never seen white or black people before a military base was put near where they lived or they happened to move to the area.  It certainly wasn't my parents that taught them negative things.  It seems many of them learned these things from observing the behavior of people. 
  I detest irreverent people but I like people that act descent.  I don't care what you look like or what color your are or where you are from.  I do care how you act.  
 

Fit Moms Chontel Duncan and Stacie Venagro Gave Birth to Healthy Baby Boys!

If the world, or least Americans, are not getting dumber and dumber my uncle's a monkey.  Read the above headline: two women give birth.  No, one woman gave birth.  It isn't possible for a woman to get another pregnant.  I believe in tolerance but I also believe in telling the truth.  Two women can not and have never been able to make a baby.   

Trump is afraid he will win.

 The election of 2016 seems to be coming down to the rejects of 2008: Hillary and the Donald.  Hillary is serious about being President while Donald Trump just wanted free publicity for his on-going business concerns.  This year it backfired and people thought he might be a good candidate. 
  Our system of government only works if the populace is educated.  I'm afraid the American population isn't as educated as they would like  to believe.  They can't get their faces out of their electronic devices long enough to pay attention.  Americans ability to express themselves via the written world has seriously deteriorated.  Computers, once thought to be the gateway to knowledge, is only a platform to watch movies and play games.  Many of the news stories on the web are now presented in video form. 
   It seems the American public wants to smoke as much marijuana as they want without being arrested for it, drive as fast as they want without being ticketed for it, party as hard as they want without being held responsible for their actions, want to be paid as much as possible for doing as little as they can, and if they screw up, they want everyone else to pitch in and bail them out without themselves having to face the consequences of their actions.  Americans want to live in an idealistic world were everyone is love, respected, and well taken care of but where everyone really means themselves. 
   Donald Trump is not Presidential material.  We live in a real world where we have real enemies and they want to do us harm.  They consider most Americans infidels and to be honest, they might not be too far off the mark.  But being an infidel gives no one the right to do us harm.  To survive as a  country we need to change some things.  Donald Trump is not the person to lead this nation to bring about these changes.
  

diet soda in the news: again

The article was titled "What diet soda is doing to your body"  and indicates that diet soda is bad for a person.  What exactly is it that is bad for a person?  Soda is carbonated water, sweeter and flavoring along with preservatives.  All soda has carbonated water yet it isn't regular soda or carbonated soda getting the bad rap.  Regular soda doesn't contain sugar  but corn syrup or corn sugar which diet soda doesn't have.  Diet soda has an artificial sweetener that regular soda doesn't have  but it isn't the sweetener that is getting the bad rap.  The other ingredients in sodas vary from drink to drink: that's what makes them different. 
  So exactly what is the problem with diet soda?

Not so buddy

Just read an article on MSN that was entitled "He retired at 33, so can you."  Sorry but I passed that milestone 35 years ago.  My brother retired yesterday  but the rich brother is still working.  Go figure.
