Your Deepest Thoughts / Rants

You wanna talk about some funny family stuff. This is a true story.
The further South you go, the sicker it gets. Here in Florida, a buddy of mine's dad was the first to go out of the family's gene pool. So his dad had something like 13 kids with his mom, who passed on at a young age probably because of labor.. His cousins & other family had recessive traits like hair falling out at the age of 18, etc . .
Anyway, his uncle was married to one of the cousins, but the uncle died so his Dad was getting up with the ousin to get married.

So I thought about this and tiold my buddy that when his dad marries her, she'll be his step-mom aunt cousin! Only in the Dirty South, son. Only in the Dirty South.

Since the police refer to us as "civilians", does that make them military? And if so, would this mean we live in a police state?

Something else I find interesting is the police call the little piece of metal pinned to their shirt a "shield" (their term, not mine). I would imagine this is for them to cower behind.

Cool, another fellow ranter/thinker/pundit.

It wasn't but an instant after I read this post that I saw my roomate watching the show COPS (all caps, huh?). It occured to me that the whole reason for that show is to present a big PR scheme to make it seem that the job of being a cop is actually has some use or necessary function in society.

Actually, when taking time out from harassing sovereigns, the pukes hang out in the back watching COPS! Did ya ever see so many penis imitations in one room since that show got popular? What is the implication behind that anyway? All of a sudden to be a Bad-ASS ya gotta shave your head? What's that about??

I just can't stand when they use the Constitution whenever they feel like, whenever it suits them!!!

Gerrymandering should be "tampering" as it is used to ensure the victory of a political party candidate!

Bill Gates is stifling progess!!! We'd be using a million bit processors by now!!

Employers, Accountants, Lawyers, & Banks won't listen to sound, documented instruction regarding the truth of the income tax due to the sole reason being that they are afraid of being audited.

This is analagous to a rape/abuse victim who is afraid to report to authorities in fear of them being victimized further.

Here's one for you:

I've had 41 employers in my lifetime. No bragging. No complaining. Just a fact.

ALWAYS keeping my options open, been doing a little "research" into any changes that might have taken place within the "hiring process."

Here's the conventional wisdom and expert advise:

1) RE resumes: "Make them unique. Make them standout."
2) RE personal interviews: Still advising those hideous navy-blue suits, short hair, etc. (Same advice since the 50s!)

So, as I recently told one prospective employer while talking myself out any possible consideration:

"How in the hell is that you expect me to make a written document, a piece of paper, 'stand out,' be 'individual,' and yet you expect ME to walk through that door and look just like everyone else?

"And you dare ask me 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' You know, I have no damned idea where I might be in five-minutes! But I'll make you a deal: I'll answer that question if you can answer one for me, okay? 'Where will this company be in five years?' Can you guarantee me that THIS company, as it stands this very moment--THIS company at which I'm applying for a job--that THIS company will NOT close, will NOT merge, will NOT change in five years? The answer is 'No,' you cannot. It's an unreasonable question just as is YOUR question to me.

"But you're going to give preference to anyone who gives you the expected response to such questions. And I can't do that. You're looking for the 'ideal' candidate where no such things exist any more than does the 'ideal' employer."

And so forth.

That's how all my interviews go....

Note to self:

Take duct-tape to the next interview.....

When I get asked this question, I tell them I hope to be alive (LOL!).

Randy, I've been waiting for months for you to post a good rant in this thread!!!

Go man, Go!

I can't believe I missed it.

A few posts back someone rhetorically asked how people can be so stupid as to not see through the Dominion's lies (or words to that effect).

The problem isn't merely due to low IQ. What is measured as IQ (a topic for another thread altogether) is only one of what could be many kinds of intelligences such as wisdom and creativity, which the tests aren't designed to measure.

I believe the paramount cause is one's spiritual background. There are people on this planet of various intelligence backgrounds and the knowledge of one may seem alien to another. Neither person may necessarily possess more or less intelligence than the other. Their respective knowledge's may merely be different on a horizontal level, so to speak. You may have knowledge of things which are elementary to you, though you may explain it to another until you're blue in the face and the other person won't "get it". The reverse can easily be true, as well, and I'm sure many of us have experienced this phenomenon from both perspectives.

Those of us who possess an almost instinctual understanding of the nature and ways of the Dominion, and for whom "far-out" ideas are elementary and a given, are most likely older souls who, on a spiritual level, have such knowledge and thus recognize it. The younger souls have no knowledge of such things and thus neither recognize nor relate to "paranoid conspiracy" related matters we unfortunately find to be so commonplace here.

I've successfully explained all sorts of "wacko" and abstract concepts to people who would normally be labeled as "clueless". I've always thought that if someone didn't understand a subject I was trying to explain it was because I wasn't explaining said subject in the right way to make it "click", rather than there being a lack of potential on their part.
