Need and Want

What you need is usually available. What you want is not. Need and Want are not the same thing. Good luck !

Obama's Drones and Kill List

Just finished watching a CBC program on Obama's drones and his kill list.Peaceful people are not to worry, as they are not on this kill list.Only suspected terrorists and dangerous people are.Still,I doubt it is legal under international laws,for a U.S. president to unilaterally send an American drone to go inside a foreign country, to kill a suspected terrorist or any person,without the approval of the government of that sovereign country. ************************************************************ The kill list is no laughing matter.Even if you are an American citizen,you are not protected by the U.S.Constitution,although you are supposed to.Obama could,and did,approve the killing of an American citizen anywhere, at home or abroad,without giving that suspected terrorist or alleged trouble maker any trial and due process of the law.Obama could issue an order and lock you up in jail for life.And he received a Nobel Peace Prize in advance:take it first, do the work later.What work? Work of a peace maker, not work of a warrior and killer.What is your opinion? Do you think Obama has earned his Nobel Peace Prize given to him in advance? ************************************************************* It upset me to hear from Bush, and now Obama, to keep talking about the protection of American lives and children, as if other human lives and children are worthless.It is simply wrong to kill innocent people whether they are Americans or not.Thousands of Pakistani civilians were killed by American drones.No use to justify any drone attack by calling the death of civilians a collateral damage only.No wonder Pakistan is stepping farther away from Uncle Sam. ************************************************************* Unilateral drone attack on other countries is not only a stupid foreign policy, it is also an illegal military action. Other countries can do the same, by sending a drone to attack your country.Bet you Uncle Sam won't play this kind of game with Russia or China,only with Pakistan and Yemen for now.

Lance Armstrong

Besides "Shame on you", what else can be said? The only options left seem to be either punishment or give Lance a second chance to redeem himself. The same rule must apply to all contestants.Either no drug use is allowed, or make it all legal. If drug use is made legal,then let's see who can beat Lance or Lance-alike. One interesting question: how come we don't care too much about the rock stars and pop singers taking drugs, but being so very strict to the athletes?

Are you serious ?

Sometimes you were serious but they thought it was a joke.Sometimes you meant to be funny, but they thought you were serious.

Alex Jones versus Piers Morgan

It made me sick watching Alex Jones being interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN.Was it even an interview? Was it even a fair debate about the gun issue in U.S.A.? All the time,I saw Alex Jones keep yelling and ranting, almost non-stop, while Piers Morgan continued to stay calm.Alex Jones behaved like a mad man,being so rude and aggressive.He called Piers Morgan a foreigner,not an American, and told him to go back home to U.K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Jones has a radio show called Info Wars, and has his own Alex Jones YouTube Channel.He has a large audience.His conspiracy theories are actually quite interesting.Some of them may even be true,I mean they are facts,not theories.I am not here to tell you to believe or disbelieve what Alex Jones said.I am just giving you my thoughts and comments,more particularly about his recent appearance with Piers Morgan on CNN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am guessing that Alex Jones is either a mentally-disturbed man, or he is an excellent actor, speaker and super salesman. Not being a psychiatrist,I do not know whether he is normal or not.He reminds me of the fire-hell, crazy and very emotional televangelists and preachers of the old days, many of whom have disappeared from the T.V.screen by now. Of course, Alex himself claims to be absolutely normal.He did a demonstration in YouTube yelling,ranting,showing his tight fist,rolling his eyes,getting very emotional and angry, and was ready to fight.He then said his behavior was all normal.David Icke,another conspiracy theorist,is much calmer.There you go: 2 different brands: the didactic and reasonably calm David Icke, and the crazy and paranoid Alex Jones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel sorry for Piers Morgan, having to interview Alex Jones.However,that is his job, to interview all kinds of different people, including the good, the bad and the ugly.Piers, you are a gentleman. Alex, you are not.

End of the World

End of the World? Oh that was yesterday December 21, 2012! Mayan calendar,Christian rapture, blah blah blah! ************************************************************ How many times did people make predictions about the end of the world in the past? Many, but we are still alive today.All the predictions failed to come true.As recent as 1999,the Y2K prediction said that by January 1,2000, the entire computer networks in the world would crash.Only last year,California-based televangelist Harold Camping predicted that the world would end on May 21, 2011.Jesus Christ would return to Earth on that day and take the righteous ones with him and fly to heaven.Rapture did not happen, but rap music continued to thrive ************************************************************ What annoys me the most are those Christian pastors, evangelists,theologians and so-called biblical scholars,who confidently made such predictions,like Harold Camping did,only to make a fool out of themselves.Do they even know their own bible? In Matthew 24:36,it clearly states " but about that day or hour,no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the father." In the Christian faith,God is the father and Jesus is the son.The problem is that Jesus is supposed to be also God, so why only the father knows but not the son? Due to this awkwardness or unresolved conflict, some Christian manuscripts just deleted 'nor the son'. This made it sound like Jesus the son also knows, not just the father.However, it begs a further question "Does the holy ghost,the third person of God,also know?" ************************************************************* I have no prejudice against the Christians or anyone.I was a Christian myself.I left the religion but kept some of the good teachings of Jesus, like Love and Forgiveness.I have many Christian friends,and friends of other religions or with no religion.In regards to End of the World,I would rather listen to the Scientists and hear what they have to say.If the End of the World would happen soon,it would rather be due to our own making, like starting a nuclear world war and finishing it with death and destruction, or grossly keep abusing and destroying the environment and natural resources of Planet Earth our home.Beware, we could cause our own self-destruction! ************************************************************* Instead of worrying about the End of the World in real life, please go and watch that exciting disaster movie 2012 and listen to Skeeter Davis' beautiful song 'End of the World'. You would get a thrill from the movie,and be saddened by the song, but you will definitely come out well and alive.Enjoy!
