RebukeTheWorld

I was enjoying Pauls blog last week and after having a discussion with a few of his subscribers, I decided to do a video. I feel that science and how it defines a no-God start for all life, deserves a true and accurate telling of its roots. If religion is irrational by some who do not except a God belief, I do feel that in how one decides to define what's rational or irrational, science is also a good starting place. Its a good starting place because both boxes hold AWE logic.

(I was in a silly mood this day so warning: Video has a goof ball in its start, lol. )

My Disclaimer~ We can disagree and this will not effect my respect for you or mankind. Lets hope that one day, man grows up and understands the hands of differences and to remain kind towards one another.

Soldiers teasing children in Afghanistan

 

At livelink.com, they have posted a video of a few American soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. I have no idea if their behavior was done with sarcasm or seriousness but either way, plan on being offended. Note~ Strong Language

 

 

The N-word

 

The N-word was a topic of discussion for the Benson High School students and somewhere in the mix of bringing attention to why some use the N-word and what's appropriate, principle Lisa Dale of Benson High School in Oregon was sent out on administrative leave. All the details are not known but I hope this punishment isn't about putting a censorship on ignorance. The N-word and its usage in our nation needs to be discussed and not put out by fear.

 

 

Stanely Crouch on Oprah

 

I do enjoy blonde sagacity wit and brain power but her recent article where Stanley Crouch discussed the recent Imus offensive comments, she concluded that he too perpetuated stereotypes with his arguments. I would have to disagree with her.

 

She wrote, "What if white people started saying, 'I wanna say nigger too." Now here's the thing...when he said it he "impersonated" a white person and used a dorky anal voice (you know, the one Eddie Murphy made famous). No one called him on it."

 

Crouch impersonation is a stereotype but certainty not a negative one.

 

 

Hillary Clinton verbal slip ups

 

Don't ask me if National Enquirer was responsible for Hillary Clintons' cussing quotes cause I don't know. I wouldn't knock any politician down for a few slips ups since we're all human and imperfect but I must say this,  the below quote is one that I would have to say was handled quite well.

 

Quote~ The second assault occurred on August 13, 1999, after Bill’s confession of the Monica Lewinsky affair.  According to author Christopher Andersen, “Hillary rose to her feet and slapped him across the face--hard enough to leave a red mark that would be clearly visible to Secret Service agents when he left the room.

 

 

Steal when desperate

  

Sometimes real life is just funnier than anything else. I can't imagine waiting in line with my poop monitor medicine and within seconds, saving the day means stealing whatever it takes. I am not sure if she was shopping for Depends but I cracked up. 

 

A fish out of water

 

This new gadget takes the lazy out of the lazychair. With remote ability enabling our couch potato lives, even our fish get the heads up with a chair click abroad. I am not sure how much Nemo would enjoy this but if anyone you meet has one of these, you might reconsider their desire for adventure.

 

 

Pregnant men humor

 

 

Humor on the net knows no bounds. Its leaps ahead of nature, not bounded by gene pools of possibilities and laughing is just part of the game. Women's labor is no longer about just women, its about the pregnant man too and its possibilities.  

 

Judge, misjudged

 

One of the best conscious test is to imagine yourself in a given situation and then ask yourself what would be fair. The ongoing Oregon lawsuit where OHSU accidentally did a sperm mix up is a good one. If my sperm hit the womb of another and begot bambino, I certainty would want a paternity test. This Judge, misjudged.

 

Great debate on African American culture

 

If you have about fifteen minutes, this is an excellent article where two African American men debate the role of rap music in African American culture, they touch on the black family, language, corporate greed and much more.  Its an interesting read and well worth your time. I stop by this blog at least every few months. This is an informative and never dull website.  

 

 Mackie Questions Rudy  Quote~  I do not think I use the words "Negro" and "black" any differently than Frederick Douglass or Ralph Ellison or Albert Murray or Stokely Carmichael or Rap Brown. Condemning backwardness is not sufficient. Your class of blacks condemned the spirituals. Condemned the blues. Condemned honky-tonks. Condemned those of us who make corn liquor to subsidize our lack of income. Condemn us for running numbers when we couldn't find a job. Condemned our speech. Condemned the clothes we wore. Condemned our manners and our way of walking. All that condemnation of yesterday seems so much similar to the condemnations muttered today about black youth and the masses of black folk. I fail to condemn because I have an ardent love for my people. And thus I stand ready to defend them from those who do not wish to look below the surface or above the curtains.

Weird night~

I was sitting outside tonight, around 10:00 pm and the night sky completely blew my mind. In my entire 42 years of life on this crazy planet, I've never seen clouds move so fast!

I moved my chair to the grass and sat outside for about thirty minutes. It was strange and mind boggling. I asked my mother, father and brother to come outside and see. My mother had never seen clouds move so fast either. My brother was spooked and my father admitted that the clouds were moving fast but then with that look of Are you nuts Raven, he went inside. I called a few friends of mine and asked them to go outside and look at the night sky. They both responded that the clouds were still and not noticeably moving where they lived. They live in NE Portland which is about a fifteen minute drive from where I live. I even went a step further and called Channel 2 KATU news and asked them if anyone else had called about the fast moving low clouds and they responded, no. I went outside and continued to observe before finally retreating inside to watch the 11:00 evening news. When the program began to broadcast some of the Easter celebrations around Portland then it dawned on me, today is Easter.  I knew it was Easter but I had forgotten about it by the evening. So, what does this all mean? I have no idea. All I know is I saw the fastest moving clouds today. They moved faster than an airplane or helicopter. These clouds crossed over my house in less than thirty seconds from my eye view that spanned a large portion of the night sky. All of this would make more sense to me if it was windy but it wasn't. The air around me barely moved.

It was a weird night. I guess nature can baffle us at times and sometimes even within my Christian belief system, answers aren't always given. I had thought for a second that tonight I was witnessing the Rapture. I know its laughable for many but that is what I thought.

I do know one thing, I have never seen clouds move so fast than I did tonight. It was pretty amazing.  

Happy Easter

Great song lyrics~ When lovin you is wrong, I dont wanna be right. 

 

Cameron Federline  

 

Kevin Federline received his bad wrap for marrying Britney Spears and his brother Cameron is looming in the media background just a hop, skip and jump from me in Pendleton Oregon.  A few days in jail for giving liquor to minors isn't quite headline material but at least Cameron Federline can rap his way out.  I should go interview the guy. Maybe he can learn to beat another drum.  

 

 

What does 81 and 18 have in common?

 

Yes, she was only 81 years old and probably had no idea what murder was AND yes, she took him to the grave with her own hands AND yes her punishment was just 18 months. What is Oregon running into?  Easy lane I suppose.

 

    

One blood size fits all

 

As blood knowledge goes, A and B divorce and then kill each other off when mixed. Blood type 0 will do the good mixing deed no matter one's type but another alternative maybe in the future. Thanks to a news company Zymequest, sugar-cleaving enzymes will do the trick,  Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen and his discovery of  two enzymes efficiently chop the A and B sugars off. What does that mean? If you have an A or B blood type, these newly studied enzymers will help make it possible for you to receive blood that is not your type.  Good news folks.

 

 

Generic prescriptions

At Freakonomics.com, exposing the Walgreens hype where a good deal isn’t always a good deal. Can I would be more than slightly upset if I paid over 100 bucks only to find Cosco only charged 17. Generic prescriptions deserve your time. Call around first but start here. This article gives you the word up.

 

The Green Teain of America

 

I’m a Green Tea Guru. Love it! Love it! So good for yah. I don’t think its better than the Olive tree but it’s a great start. According to some folks, if serial killers had a daily dose of Green Tea, maybe some of us innocent bystanders might live out a long life. Well, maybe I am exaggerating or maybe I am not.

 

Slate quote~ The implicit bargain in buying these products is that green tea will make you not just spiritually complete, but morally superior. This is partly because green tea had the good sense to have the word green as part of its name.

 

  

Don't hold your pee

 

Don't hold your pee. I am not sure of the time constraints to where death knocks on ones door but one radio station is up for lawsuits. They should have investigated.

 

 

Veil or no veil, that is the question.

 

This is a year old story with a new story update. Isupport cultural differences and feel if yah belong to a religion that says, thou shall not reveal thy face, then go for it but and a bit BUT comes to my brain cells. Facial structure is a good test to witness sincerity or test honesty. Not everyone on the planet is a Sociopath so when it comes to hearing court testimonies, the face deserves its unveiling. Judge Paruk agrees and Hezbollah supporter Nabjg Ayad is going after Judge Paruk in Federal court.

Judge Paruk wrote that:  Ultimately, however, my concern has to be, not with what Islamic law requires, but with the laws of the United States and Michigan. I would not permit any other witness to testify with a covered face. I cannot have one law for the community and another for Ms. Muhammad.

Ms. Muhammad is upset that she lost her case because the Judge through out her testimony veiled. I say, “Your in America. We want to see your face in court.”

 

 

Another stupid lawsuit

 

I love stupid, ridiculous lawsuits brought up by stupid ridiculous arguments by stupid ridiculous ???. Fine. I will be nice. Its sad that not only did people die but someone on this planet thinks that where you work should be held accountable even if where you worked wasn’t driving the car. I know, as if that is possible. Who knows. Maybe moving objects like buildings will begotten a conscious in our courts one day.  Station KATV surely is.

 

 

 

Semantic Web

 

Semantic Web is the Internet phase to be. Listen to Tim Berners-Lee explain.

 

Diagram a Blog

The New York Times put out this diagram of a blog. I thought it was comical and after having looked it over I've come to one conclusion, no-one who wrote this has read my blog. Starting off with a bomb of logic that "vehemently disagrees" and then ends up with the devils advocate is just not my style. I would rather agree angelically(not a word), remove all grammar laws and end up confused. (laughing)

It's hard to believe that just this Sunday, March 25, 2007, Nutri-System put out an ignorant male directed advertisement in the Parade section.  Whoever said "Yeah" to this ad campaign lacked more than common sense and sensitivities. 

Imagine the below ad with a before and after shot of a female, and with her husband quotes. If that was the case, Nutri-system would have made big news.  

The word "as" in quotes, makes it clear that this wife is still not pleased with her man or Nutri-System. Her man hasn't risen above her criticism even with the visual of a skinnier hubby.   Nutri-system needs a modern day boost of an intelligent and appropiate campaign to motivate men to loose weight.
