The Mayan Apocalypse

Today I will be talking about the Mayan Apocalypse.  For reference, I am using volume 12, issue 552, February 10th, 2012 edition of The Week.  page 11.  Alot of folks are starting to believe that the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012.  why is this? because of a calendar created practically 4000 years ago by the Mayan civilization. 

People are crazy in America.  wait... It's not just America, it's the entire world that thinks this is true! I saw a show called Doomsday Preppers, and it was crazy how they jar and can all that food and store it for something that probably won't come for a long time.  I sort of think that people are using this date as a cut off, because they want to achieve a goal before they "dying" and it makes them feel important if they actually believe this stuff. 

Basically, they calendar is based on 13 baktuns, which are each about 394 years long.  At the end of the 13th baktun, the cylcle terminates.  Some believe that a new cycle will start- others believe the magnetic field of earth will reverse and kill the human race.  What do you think about all the hubbaballoo? comment opinions.

Digital Age

The past 2 days in class, we watched a movie about technology and the digital age.  The most interesting thing I learned was the fact that the military is no longer what it used to be.  Instead of being up in an airplane, the men are sitting in computers pushing a button, which explodes a bomb and kills hundreds of people a thousand miles away from them.  It's such a cruel way to put things, because pushing a button doesn't give you the grief that being in a plane dropping the bomb from a mile in the air does. 

I find the digital age very disturbing.  I feel that high technology should only be used for medical purposes and other government aspects.  in additon, I really feel that all of this high techie stuff is causing obesity.  and, in 20 years, every house will have a programmed computer in it, so when you're sitting on the couch watching a movie, you're computer maid named bertha will bring you a sandwich.... sound delightful? well, maybe to an extent we can have these types of luxuries, but I think all these new things just have the word "LAZY" written all over them. the thought of running a mile causes people to sweat just thinking about it.  comment how you feel about the situation.

dad shoots laptop

today in class, we watched a video about a dad that found a post from his daughter on facebook.  it had nasty language and it was very desrespectful to her parents.  she complained about having to do simple chores and helping around the house.  in addition, her dad spent approximately $130 on laptop software, and he ended up shooting the laptop with his 45mm pistol to show her how disapointed he was in her. 

now, I'm not on facebook, because my daddy won't let me, but I'm sure he would do the same if he saw something like that.  Plus, even if I was on facebook, I would never vent my feelings to the public in such a manner.  and, I think that what he did was okay, because it is a parent's job to keep their children in line until they turn 18.  if I had kids, I would definitely crack down and do that.  I think what he did was fair and shows that he is a parent who cares. 

Running for President

a great link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! check me out!!!!!!!!
I choose Mitt Romney for president because he graduated from Harvard Law and Harvard Business School.  In addition his wife's name was Ann.  She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and recently fought a battle with breast cancer. Also, Romney saved the state of Michigan in 2002 from economic disaster. 
He also helped saved the olympics.  They were to begin shortly after September 11th, 2001, but the country was so scared and shook up about it that they asked Mitt to take over.  He plans to lower taxes. "He is calling for a fundamental change in Washington’s view of how economic growth and prosperity are achieved, how jobs are created, and how government can support these endeavors." (quote from link)
so........ VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY!!!!!!!


 

another link that hates our preseident!!!!!

DO NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s absolutely amazing to watch the crowds at Barack Obama’s Rallies.
Looking at the people in the crowds screaming their support for Barack, waving banners, passing out and others standing there looking teary eyed makes us shake our heads at the utter ignorance of so many people.
These people are so dumbstruck over Barack’s ability to hypnotize crowds with his eloquent words that they don’t even realize that he isn’t saying anything of substance. Nor do these people realize what Obama is really about. If people looked very deep into Obamas background and realized how close he is to being elected, they would be very, very scared.
Tell all your family and friends, especially those in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island,  about the danger that Barack Obama poses. Convince them not to vote for him in the March Elections! Our lives may very well be at stake if Obama wins!

A Death in Tehran: is it moral to kill Iran's scientists?

This post is talking about the scientists that have recently been killed in Tehran. For reference, I am using volume 12, issue 550, January 27,2012 issue of a magazine called "The Week", page 4.
This article is about a man named Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a nuclear scientist, that was bombed earlier this week. It is suspected that his death was done by Israel's Mossad, with some U.S. help, of course.
Are we becoming hyppocrits? I think so.  Which country has the most nuclear weapons? the U. S., of course.  It's weird how we like bombing people, but we think that no one should bomb us.
It's crazy.  I think we all just need to get along and stop arguing about who took someone else's juicebox.
