Re: The Who’s Roger Daltrey Balks at Concert Marijuana Smoker « Radio.com

Roger Daltry is a hypocrite. He pushed the pot smoking hippie movement, partied like a rockstar, now he is complaining that someone smoked at his show where it is legal; someone who obviously spent a lot of money to sit in the front row and watch these old men play outdated music on stage. I always thought the Who sucked and now they gave me a reason to verbally express it. Thanks.

Re: China puts a new nail in dollar coffin as it begins direct trade with Singapore

a_voc — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:45:30 -0000

The BRICS, which is a union of 5 nations, makes up only 18% of the world's economy. In 2012, BRICS pledged 75 Billion to the IMF conditionally if reform on capital shares was done. The currency influx by China and Russia's funding the new development bank, is still not enough to set it up. They are hoping by 2015. Sure Russia wants the US dollar to not dominate the world economy as the US sanctions are hurting. I would be worried when more countries like Turkey, Iran, and Indonesia jump onboard with Brics. It is hard to tell if this currency war is impacting the American economy looking at the dollar index and stock market.

Re: What Would Push America towards War with China?

I say sanctions against China, secretly stop importing product from there. Transfer all the outsourced work in China to our closer neighbors, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean. Why is America tied up with this country that is against our way of life anyway? And now we owe China so much money, can we really push them around? Cut off supply where it hurts. But the Obama administration is not doing their part. China and Russia seem to know that the Obama doesnt have the leadership skills to prevent any overtake.

You can still make use of Windows XP, Microsoft will just not support it any longer. I think it is a good move by MS to force an OS update. As for China, US will jump onboard to support XP for you, just wipe our debt clean!

Have family mobile (basically tmobile) I totally was and even was able to bluetooth/wifi tether after. You have to remember to install the google apps and wiping out cache, data, and factory reset beforehand from utility.

I finally flashed cyanogen on my galaxy s3 successfully. Didn't work the first few attempts. Wiping data and factory reset from flash utility did the trick. Doesn't look identical to the tmobile theme with samsung features but who cares. So far I am happy with it especially all the additional features I get to play with. Thanks

Re: 'Family Guy' fans petition to bring back Brian

People, its a cartoon. All the writers need to do is have stewie build a time machine and Brian can be back in the picture in 1 episode. Is a Murial really necessary?

Re: ‘Family Guy’ Killed Off Brian the Dog as ‘Fun Way To Shake Things Up’

a_voc — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 18:11:02 -0000

Brian was the intelligent character in the zany world of family guy. He gave meaning to the show and was good with Stewie. The show took out the predictability out of character rolls, which made the show original. Brian was a dog that was smarter than most humans. I thought his character was very creative and funny. To kill off Brian just to replace with someone you admire from TV is risky to say the least. I like the sopranos too especially Paulie Walnuts but not enough to kill a good show.

What are Obama's intentions here? Is he going to start a possible world war? Standing up for peace with battleships has it benefits but this is a conflict we shouldn't fund. It is going to wreck havoc on our economy that has slowly been recovering.

Re: Is Steven Spielberg Right About an Imminent Movie Industry Meltdown?

a_voc — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:24:10 -0000

Because George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are technically the founding fathers of special effects, they are stuck in their world of star wars and ET. Movies today are all special effects with little talent on the stage or in the creative writing. I watch movies today and it is either, I knew that was going to happen or what a dumb turn of events. Maybe if you paid the writers more money for their talent, there would be more eventful movies out there to watch. Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp as tonto, are you serious? Is it legal now to smoke crack when you make movies? Just because the stars make the most money on the set, does not mean that they have the creative edge over a crew that should be producing movies people want to watch.

Re: A Soccer Ball That Can Kick Start Your Cell Phone

Are you serious? A soccer ball powering an LED light? Why couldnt they just use a solar powered LED that they sell for around $3.00? In my opinion, this is completely unnecessary. Though I would give them an A for their project. That is cool that you can generate electricity from kicking a ball. Instead of using energy to kick a ball, ;-)

You don't believe in god. I get it people. I don't believe crap comes out your ass either. It seems to all come from your mouth. You know why god doesn't talk to you? Does anyone?

Wow that is good. Someone was paying attention in reality class. I too believe in god and I believe the only reason why this world hasn't been completely obliterated from nuclear war is because of god. Hitler didn't worship satan, even though we has wacked in the head. He read the bible. Yet he was technically responsible for killing so many jews, blacks, and gays. The funny part is he didn't actually do the dirty work and still is claimed to be the anti-christ because he gave the ok for it. A lot of politics, totally. A man that was fueled on world domination but had no idea that because he was doing it to destroy the world, his plan had to fail. Do it for the money, like onewest bank, then you succeed. For all those thinking that short sales are hurting the banks, think again. The banks want you to short sell your house. It is the new bank trend:

Reading these comments from you people, it is like one big book of idiot. Are you all like 12 years old? I guess you would have to be. One, because older people have already lived their life and have already been through end of the world predictions that never came true. Two, you young dipsh-ts would believe your face was on your ass if someone explained it to you right. Again, Nostradamus did not predict 2012 as the date of the end of the world so pull your pants up and cover your face. This is the Mayan calendar BS.

Re: Nostradamus predictions

HELLO PEOPLE. NOSTRADAMUS DID NOT PREDICT THE END OF THE WORLD IN 2012. WHOEVER TOLD YOU THIS WAS INCORRECT. THIS IS A PREDICTION BASED ON AN ANCIENT MAYAN CALENDAR THAT ISN'T EVEN IN SYNC WITH OUR CALENDAR. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE READ MANY NOSTRADAMUS BOOKS. WHY WOULD HE PREDICT EVENTS IN 3000, 4000, AND EVEN 5000AD IF HE PREDICTED THE END OF THE WORLD IN 2012. GET A CLUE PEOPLE.

Is the government and the Freemasons really conspiring to create a new world order? And what is up with the Denver Airport and those Murials? Are they really selling space to the rich elite for protection from the end of the world?

Probably not. Considering that they only got hit with a 7.0 earthquake. I was in a 8.3 earthquake in L.A. and it didn't do as much damage as it did to Haiti. Maybe they should have used something else for building materials besides paper and spit. Besides, Haiti is the most corrupted country in the world.

To all the comments made here. The world is a perfect place. People are nurturing and care for you no matter where you go. You will never die or experience pain. Peoples' intentions are always just. The earth is growing and will be twice the size to accommodate the new population. The dead will come back to life, make money, support you, and take over politics for the prosperity of mankind. The dead will also transport you where ever you need to go in groups. God will come from heaven and personally re-write the bible for you live on TV. You will make a dollar for every heartbeat, which means more money for you when you workout. Everybody will hold hands and sing peace to the world. Merchandise and food will be free, stores will pay you to come inside. Nobody will ever be depressed and will wave and say hello to you no matter where you go.

With all the pessimistic people here thinking that their world is coming to an end, thought I would add a touch of optimism to all that need it.

Somebody was paying attention in reality class. I hear you about the whole alien thing, very perplexing. I had a friend that told me he thought we were all living in Jesus Christ's body. I went... what r u talking about? He was very detailed on how this could be. I also believe that Mars was Earth and Venus will become the new earth but that of course is on my own tangent. This is a good one... have you ever seen the movie Defending Your Life? It is kinda like what your saying. A little Hollywood but I liked the message. I dig your Alien theory, pretty good. Aliens had what? Sex with apes and created us? That is good and funny. Because it could be true.

That is a good scare tactic. What about the people that are peaceful, god fearing, and prosperous but don't believe in Christianity because they are Buddhist or Islamic? Are they going to suffer the rapture? The one world government is a thought by a billionaire UN environmentalist and Al Gore to push green products. I have seen the skepticism about their intentions. I have also lived in the big city. When you see the big city beautified by rain, clouded in a day by smog from traffic it makes you think. Your panic rage doesn't help see any of this clearly. Maybe the government might microchip you, ok sure... costly on a federal budget that is already in ruins and why, why all the manpower and tax dollars for that? But a 666 on my forehead, I have a problem just thinking about getting a tattoo that is half happy face and half skull. Americans still drank during prohibition, but no food if you don't have the 666 mark. DONT GROW IT, I WONT LET YOU!! Awwww, you have the 666 mark.... come, I feed you. A little tough to absorb.

Anyways, Christmas is here again, Jesus's birthday and all the festive lights. I will celebrate with family in his honor. And yes, I found Jesus he is everywhere!!

The Roman Catholic church in Italy worked as the executioners in those days. Pontias Pilate gave Jesus a chance but the people wanted him dead. It was politics. You wouldn't blame our correctional system if they were to have killed Jesus due to him being set up. It was King Herod who thought that Jesus was undermining his authority and why he planned to have Rome kill Jesus. These are lessons for you to learn here. The story of Jesus Christ is a story to remind you that this is an evil world full of jealousy and greed. And one human who had the courage to go against the grain for the sake of humanity. A follower who turned into a leader to fight for love over hate. It isn't about believing in the bible. It is about becoming part of what is good and holy and directing humanity in the right direction.

I will be honest with you. I do not want to push god or religion on anyone. I just want peace in this world as I am sure most people do. Of course what does peace really entail? We like to debate, we like to succeed, we like to step on toes. So this is probably it for us. Being in Katrina and helping out, you experienced a different world, the helping the needy, and the needy that felt like god was actually there helping. You don't realize that and maybe you don't need to. At the time everyone was helping each other, there was a religion there. A dynamic, universal religion. What I am getting at is religion is meant to be there for you in case you need direction in your life and churches are out there for you because they profit from your interest. You can't blame the gun for killing people and in the same aspect you can't blame religion for hate, killing, and chaos. Believe me, being Catholic has been tough. The same ole mass, having to change churches because the of the priest's thick accent making it extremely hard to understand what he is saying, and my knees usually hurt after a mass. Life only has a few pleasures and usually on a Monday morning they come to a screeching halt. So in reality, the more you torture yourself, the better person you become. The less you eat and the more you strain yourself the better you look. It is the catch 22 of life and it sucks but what can we do about it. Now it is time to work, yes time to be a better person, I mean more torture. LOL

Seems like you have your mind made up. Ok, you keep thinking that the Catholic religion is the root of all evil. If priests can give up sex they should give up more. Whatever, this is a free market system and in a tax free society like the church a priest or parishioner should be able to achieve as much wealth as they work to venture for, just like anyone else. It seems as though you missed the point. I am not a bible pusher but I do believe that religion re-enforces good character. Go tell your friends, family, and community that you are comfirmed Catholic but believe the Catholic faith is hypocritical. They will tell you who is truly hypocritical. Go ahead and channel your spiritual energy into hate for the Catholic church. Feed you the same ole bullshit, ok. How about this, I am not here to target you with Catholic persuasion. I am only saying that religion needs to stay Catholic, Christian, Mormon, Protestant, as long as it is for the "good" of the people. There are a lot of kids on this old blog site that say there should be no religion because it causes war. They don't understand what life would be like without religion. You are expecting too much from a mortal, imperfect world where we are all stuck on this big rock our whole lives. The pope is nothing more than a puppet, just like the president of the US, prime minister of England, and all the other political leaders that hold rank. Decisions are made by a group of people, always. It is discussed as to what impacts and what advantages there are to making a rule. What I see in your emails is someone that is disgruntled with his faith, for whatever reason, and wants a fight. Funny, you want to fight people that are trained to turn the other cheek. I helped people hit by Hurricane Katrina as well and I don't even live in or around New Orleans. I commend you for helping the needy, as there are many that need it. But your mention of this seems like you are trying to justify your lack of faith with community service. So you are a good person, just not a better one.

Open minded, funny. It seems that the only one that is closed minded is you. Everything on this planet is a business. Catholic priests join a faith and give their life up to a church. The position of a priest requires that he stay abstinent for his term and over time, this drives them completely crazy. All the other religions do not require abstinence to be a minister, only the Catholic religion. The priest, even though we would like to think he is holy because he takes the position, is really just another man that easily succumbs to temptation. There is nothing holy in this world, I am sorry for that. But don't knock religion. Religion is what makes people change their life for the better. It makes an alcoholic stay away from alcohol, it makes any adict think twice about cheating, a criminal turn over a new leaf. And that in itself makes religion worth keeping around. David Koresh, come on. The Catholic religion as an entity, does not make people kill or have sex with each other like Polygamists. They are greatly different. Religion is a crutch, yes. Unfortunately, we are all weak and need that crutch. If you were being beat up and facing death, I know your weakness will call to god just like the rest of the world. You would rather hear the Discovery channel banter about the Catholic religion then go to church and hear a priest discuss about how you could be a better person. That makes you the crazy one.

Now it seems as though your erratic thinking is making you paranoid. Life has a way of solving its own problems. You might see disease as a bad thing, well of course it is but you are not looking at the purpose. Does life prevent you from have 10 children? No it doesn't. In the same sense, will life kill off people in an over populated world? Yes, it will. New diseases are being produced all the time. They stem from the sun. You don't understand the fine balance of our solar system and our lives. Science can't even figure it out. Science is entirely based off THEORY. Theory is not proven, if it was proven, it would be factual. Soldiers go to war knowing that they might not come back. Be a soldier but fight for the right side.
