Panhandling Ordinance, Columbus, Ohio

So I see this everyday on EVERY interstate exit ramp around the city. I watched this article and heard the panhandlers say they aren’t harming or bothering anyone.

True in that regard but what they didn’t mention is the trash, cigarette butts, and over trampling of the ground under them. I have yet to see a panhandling area free of this. Perhaps if you want to panhandle, since that is your business, then leave the area better than you found it – yeah old boy scout principle. – Jus’ Sayin’

Masher National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters

“An activist uses all means at his or her disposal to peacefully create calm and order out of chaos. A terrorist uses fear and anger to destroy order and to create chaos in order to achieve set aims.
An activist sees those around him or her as human beings. A terrorist does not see human beings only tools and pawns in the game.A terrorist has lost the ability to mourn the dead because his or her ‘high’ is the power of fear and the death and destruction they have caused.

An activist for any cause should be defensive, but it is a fine line between activism and terrorism. Lastly there is a little bit of the terrorist in every activist and a lot of the activist in each terrorist. That is what can make each such individual so dangerous if lines are crossed. . However a true activist attempts to bring about quiet revolution within the individuals that they come in contact with and build them up.”

So how strong and to what extent are one’s beliefs to be entitled to be an activist or a terrorist? Who’s doctrine shall be deemed as THE one and therefore just?

Congressman wants to banish gay people to a deserted island for 100 years

Congressman wants to banish gay people to a deserted island for 100 years

Well on the heterosexual island, marriage wouldn’t have been followed because in order to keep the population going, multiple partners would have to be involved in order to make a variety gene pool. Oh and guess what 10% would turn out gay. It’s natures way. Something this idiot seems to miss. Marriage is not nature, marriage is a man-made construct not nature, not god.

Sozialamt Kasse

“You stay behind, we [are the] new people of Merkel (German Chancellor Angela Merkel). You Nazi.”

Sozialamt Kasse = Government assistance agency

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And you don’t think this isn’t happening here? We allow our neighborhoods to deteriorate with poverty, no assistance for better educating our youth to at least try to maintain an image of being a world power, explore funding to provide adequate healthcare for millions who are or will be out-of-market priced for just basic medical care, explore funding to accommodate our ever-aging population and ever-increasing life-spans, no assistance for our own to step up and make a better life but we have all this empathy for others around the world and beg to take them in and provide for them so that they may have a better life….Yes, call me selfish, prejudiced and bigoted and perhaps even ill-informed for not being so worldly for I only see what goes on outside my front door everyday, around me, and around the country. I am only a selfish American who would like for once to see perhaps half of these dollars we are currently spending on helping “others’ to just help our own damn selves. Yes we are a nation of and founded by immigrants, perhaps we just need a bit of time to take-care of the immigrants we already have before inviting more in. – Jus’ Sayin’

Gun real or toy

A gun is a weapon, it’s purpose is to hurt or kill. A gun is not for looks nor for play. My point if you are playing with a gun real or otherwise you are perceived as a threat and will be treated accordingly. Long gone are the days were a child, even at 12 years old, holding a toy gun will automatically be perceived as a toy only and therefore no threat. This has no regard to color of skin, just a fact of living today. That being said, do your children have toy guns, BB guns, or air rifles? And as such do you allow them to play with them on public grounds? I would hope as a responsible parent you would have said – no.

Seems some catastrophes with children could have been reverted with just a simple – no.

Celebratory Gunfire 2015

As we approach another New Year’s Eve, remember that celebratory gunfire is illegal, irresponsible, unsafe, and not needed. It is not a toy but a tool for defense. Let’s keep it that way.

To demonstrate go outside with a bunch of friends standing together and throw a reasonable size rock straight up into the air – who do you think the rock will hit on it’s way down?

Spread the word.

Deputy in Pike County that shot his neighbor while drinking

Figured it needs to be said…regarding Deputy in Pike County that shot his neighbor while drinking… just goes to show that even a person trained with gun handling, licensed to carry, and trained with gun safety and procedure, and an upstanding citizen of the community can still make a stupid mistake based on drinking or emotions. This gun regulation issue will not go away quickly; point is that even tougher regulations, stricter application licenses, etc will not stop bad decisions, stupidity, anger, emotion, or mental competency.

Notice: We say…..

Being in a face-to-face role everyday as part of my job, and especially working with people of all walks of life and language barriers, offending someone, which can always happen, is a dialogue. If you meant to offend then being offended is a legitimate response. If you accidentally offended, then as part of that dialogue you engage, learn and you make it right , especially if you didn’t know and all you were trying to do is be pleasant. This is called dialogue and unfortunately is a dying art. We no longer engage, we no longer anticipate, and we no longer size someone up to start that dialogue. Politicians, true sales people and basically just plain personable people have this down to a science. It’s a skill of communication and as I mentioned already fewer and fewer people have the ability of dialogue and these are the people we continually see in customer service face-to-face roles. Perhaps it’s a gift of age, myself I think it’s an ability to successfully interact with all people. It’s also two-way, so if one side fails and cannot engage or wanting to then someone will be offended.

All I can say is that the simplest why to not offend and to provide excellent customer service is to just SMILE and let the rest fall into place. No sign EVER needed!

ISIS bombings – France

Yes it’s full of hate and damn proud of it! I see France declaring war and as part of the United Nations we will be joining in the fight. War is not compassion it is about fighting to the death. The United States needs to quit being so damn wimpy and passive and do the course and show that we are still the world power that at least we used to be! Yes this is directed at you Mr President Obama!

George Takei calls for compassion after Paris attacks: ‘We must resist the urge to dehumanize’

George Takei calls for compassion after Paris attacks: ‘We must resist the urge to dehumanize’

Actor and social activist George Takei encouraged Americans not to turn the terrorist attacks against Paris on Friday into an excuse for racist behavior.

“We must resist the urge to categorize and dehumanize, for it is that very impulse that fueled the insanity and violence perpetrated this evening,” Takei wrote on his Facebook page.

At least 120 people died on Friday in the series of assaults against six sites in the French capital, most of them during a hostage situation at a local concert hall. Takei said in the post that he was writing while he was backstage during a performance of Allegiance, a critically-acclaimed Broadway show dealing with the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

“There no doubt will be those who look upon immigrants and refugees as the enemy as a result of these attacks, because they look like those who perpetrated these attacks, just as peaceful Japanese Americans were viewed as the enemy after Pearl Harbor,” he wrote.

He closed the short post by encouraging fans to “pray or wish for peace, not only from guns and bombs, but from hatred and fear.”

“Tonight, hold your loved ones, and If it is our freedom and joy they seek to destroy, give them not that victory. Against the forces of darkness and terror, love and compassion shall always prevail. #‎JeSuisParis,” he wrote.
=============================
Pardon me, but I have no compassion for ISIS. No I’m not racist, I’m not prejudiced nor do I show disdain for Muslims in this country. I will show however disdain for a radical group that has no regard for human life in order to push their agenda under the guise of their religion. As usual religion has been used as a tool to push an agenda, conquering, destroying culture and attempting to become the dominant force. Have I read the Quran – no. Do I understand fully it’s teachings – no. What I do know is that under it’s name, groups, radical groups are using it to discredit my life, my society, my country, and my well-being. No, I will not show compassion for these threats against me. Personally I think they should all get together and hold hands and blow themselves up in a remote desert and show their faith in a big blinding bang light and then let nature and animals return them to the earth.

Don’t Tread On Me!
