So help me understand; You are upset that your dog got run over by your lawnmower and you readily admit that you allowed your dog to jump up on your mower while you were mowing and the dog slipped? Now really who is irresponsible here?

Oh and you are mowing and your dogs run freely in the yard while you are doing so?

And while we are talking about lawn mowing, you gotta love the folks that mow the lawn barefoot or in your flip flops, seriously?

Oh and let’s talk about letting your kids mow who aren’t even taller than the handle bar?

Yes, I’ve seen all this.

Oh yes, I’m just that stupid.

Amazing and brought tears to my eyes and a perfect representation and a true story of those that gave their lives for our continued freedom, realities of this, and especially how fighting wars in other countries always hits home.

Remember those that have fought, served, and gave their lives for our continued freedom. The United States of America are freedom gatekeepers and the best representation ever of democracy that ALL should be free. War is not pretty, not saying it is right, but please remember those that have lost their lives or gave much of themselves to support the believe that ALL should be free.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May. Take a moment to reflect, thank a soldier, and be thankful for those that have served. I know I am, always proud of my Dad, and glad he was able to make it home.

You can’t tell me there isn’t some truth to this. Would be good to see the actual statistics on how often this is done so we can truly see the burden to the taxpayer. We always have abuses on social systems but when the abuse is higher than the benefit intended for truly deserving then we have a problem.

The Entitlement Crowd

How to get $75K for you and your girlfriend. Now I understand what is happening to this country. Follow these easy, proven, 13 steps to financial well being.

1. Don’t get married to her.
2. Use your mom’s address to get mail sent to you.
3. Guy, buys a house.
4. Guy rents out house to his girl girlfriend who has 2 of his kids.
5. Section 8 will pay $900 a month for a 3 bedroom home.
6. Girlfriend signs up for Obamacare so guy doesn’t have to pay for family insurance. This was built into Obamacare.
7. Girlfriend gets to go to college free for being a single mother.
8. Girlfriend gets $600 a month for food stamps
9. Girlfriend gets free cell phone.
10. Girlfriend get free utilities.
11. Guy moves into home but still uses moms house to get mail sent to him.
12. Girlfriend claims one kid and guy claims one kid on taxes. Now you both get to claim head of household at $1800 credit.
13. Girlfriend gets disability for being “crazy” or having a “bad back” at $1800 a month and never has to work again.

Yep, this is true. Check it out. This plan is perfectly legal and is being executed now by millions of people. A married couple with a stay at home mom yields $0.00 dollars.
An unmarried couple with stay at home mom nets: $21,600 disability + $10,800 free housing + $6,000 free Obamacare + $6,000 free food + $4,800 free utilities + $6,000 Pell grant money to spend + $12,000 a year in college tuition free from Pell grant + $8,800 tax benefit for being a single mother = $75,000 a year in benefits.

[Abusers of the system] are well aware of how to milk the cow. They are on their 3rd generation of this scam and you wonder why the country is 18 trillion in debt?

Your children will pay the price.

Notice that “food pantry” wasn’t included. They get that too.

So I have old and new ties, some dating back over 30 years. I swear ties are getting shorter but then I realize that ties aren’t getting shorter, my stomach is protruding further outward thusly less tie material to cover over my stomach. SIGH. LOL.

War means killing, not just soldiers but innocent people as well. It is hateful and uncivilized but seems the core of our Human Race. Perhaps one day we will evolve but until then we will continue to do what we do.

Perhaps we can take from a ScFi episode and all be given a number and allow a computer to randomly select people to die and off you go to the disintegration chamber as a casualty of war.

Which sounds more humane?

This Is What Happened When Maine Forced Welfare Recipients To Work For Their Benefits
US Herald, April 4 ,2015

Well done! And fair! So you can work, volunteer or enroll in a training program. Yes indeed, Ohio needs to bring this here.

It is perhaps a fault of our system that when one loses their job it is hard to find another. Especially when one is not awarded unemployment. So of course they are seeking welfare. By stating it is a mentality that has been passed down thru the generations is in itself proof that our current system here in Ohio and in other states is not working. I’ve been down this road and had to fight for my unemployment. Looking for work is in itself full-time employment but I did it everyday. I also got involved in my community and took training for a different vocation. The intent of this is that to just take the assistance without a game plan to look for new employment or a new vocation or networking is a flaw. At least this program tries to steer recipients in a direction to be self sustainable. That is what the true intent of Welfare should be. – SETII 04/11/15

RE: Rally Planned After Same-Sex Couple Allegedly Denied Service

So, what does the couple hope to accomplish here?  Is it right for a business/professional to deny service to any population?  No, of course not!  It is unethical, unprofessional, discriminatory, and bad for business.  Could the business have declined the service in a different way and declined service by stating that they felt they could not deliver a value product? Yes, of course it is done all the time and everyday to ALL of us.  Seems the business could have just had better business etiquette in declining the service.  Again this is done all the time.  This business is providing an artist service rendering of a final product.  It is interpretive and based on the artists beliefs, viewpoints, and even how they felt that day.  I myself do not agree to how all this is came down and would myself feel discriminated against if this happened to me but really? I sure would not even want to force this business to deliver me their product because I’m sure it would not have been a value product anyway.  I of course would share my encounter with this business with everyone I know and encourage them not to do business with them.

Conclusion:  There is ignorance on both sides here.

A same-sex couple demanding service from a business either knowingly or unknowingly that is bias to the LGBT community but more pointed perhaps should have brought their business to a business that either is LGBT owned or proudly stating that they are LGBT friendly. [Ahh note isn’t this a form of discriminatory practice in itself?]

And the business, which is in business to serve an entire market, and if they cannot accomplish this then they shouldn’t be in business.  If a business feels they cannot deliver a product to a customer, for whatever reason, I’m sure the business could have had better professionalism and business etiquette and cited another reason as to why they could not provide a service to a customer.  The customer in turn can use their power of voice to pass on their ranking of the service provided or not provided to them.  We are a free society, after all, and trust me on this the power of the internet, media, and social media can have a strong impact to the success of a business. [Look what is going on here.]

At the end of the day we all make choices as to where we take our business to.  It is understood, expected, and protected that any of us should be able to buy our groceries, get our gas, purchase or rent our home and not be discriminated against for whatever basis or reason but in this scenario it appears that a person, has a fault or character disposition, that would have prevented them from providing a value product to this same-sex couple.  If I was purchasing a pack of gum from this business then, oh hell! you better serve me, but if I’m being provided an artist service from this company and I may risk bias in the production of the final product because of the person’s character flaw, then perhaps I may be smarter and better off to take my business to someone who has an understanding of the same-sex’s couples request and able to produce and capture the loving, caring, sharing moment that this same-sex couple ultimately is hoping to catch in a video to share for a life time. You can’t buy this on a shelf, you have to have an artist that understands and can capture this moment without bias.  It appears this business knew in advance that they would not be able to capture that moment and perhaps could have been more caring and compassionate in sharing their limitations of that delivery to the same-sex couple. Ahh but we don’t live in a perfect world and hence all this to begin with.  🙂

Artticle:

COLUMBUS, Ohio –
The roadblock Jenn Moffat and Jerra Knicely faced this month when they set out to plan their wedding touched a nerve.
“First of all it’s a wedding to be told that someone won’t do your video work because of your sexuality I mean that hurts,” shared Omar Faruk, who is the founder of Wenited.org.

So much so that Moffat and Knicely shared the message they say they received from the wedding videography company on social media.
The message stated “Unfortunately at this time I do not offer services for same-sex marriages but thank you for your inquiry. Peace.”
Faruk says it is clear cut discrimination, “In this day and time why is discrimination legal?”
He says he is organizing a peaceful rally at Bexley City Hall in support of the creation of an anti-discrimination ordinance there.
As for the couple other businesses have reached out offering to help them on their big day.
Faruk says they will meet with city leaders Tuesday as they iron out an ordinance to propose.
The Wenited Rally is scheduled to take place at 5:30 outside Bexley City Hall Tuesday night.

Dear Azealia Banks, Please Feel Free To Leave America And Never Return

I’m sure there is more to this than what the author is capturing in this article but here is my two cents worth.

Azalea Banks: “Black people need reparations for building this country, and we deserve way more f***ing credit and respect… When you rip a people from their land, from their customs, from their culture — there’s still a piece of me that knows I’m not supposed to be speaking English, I’m not supposed to be worshiping Jesus Christ…All this s**t is unnatural to me.”

I pride myself in not being prejudice but when I see statements like this I may be accused of such but in reality I am bias to ignorance. I treat all people the same with the same value and with the same courtesy and benefits that I would want out of life. I am not responsible for what “white” people did to “black” during the course of our country’s history, nor am I responsible or will even consider reparations for actions of the past. I will respect however the contributions made by all people, culture, religion or race good bad or indifferent because they made our country as it is today. History is not always a good thing. Being an American though, I can take that history, learn from all of us that make up our country and be proud to be an American as it is today, including all the bad that came with it to become the great nation that we are today.

As a white person I do not “owe” another race “more f***ing credit and respect” because of their contributions in history good or bad. I am only responsible for today. Today I treat all people with value and respect not because of your race or culture but because I am a human being and you are a fellow human being. I am proud of my country Azalea Banks as I am free, make my own choices in life and have all the reasonable comforts of life. I see Azalea Banks as an American that you have made choices as well and they seem to have made a very comfortable life for you. That being said, I would rather be concerned of prejudice that you are facing today and not focus on the prejudice of your ancestors because at the end of the day our American history is just that history and should be treated with the respect and education accordingly to move us forward to make us a positive, prejudice free nation. You’ve failed here Azelea Banks.

We as a society are continually focused on the adjective instead of the noun.
