The poor would go to the houses of the rich and demand their best food and drink. If owners failed to comply, their visitors would most likely terrorize them with mischief. Christmas became the time of year when the upper classes could repay their real or imagined "debt" to society by entertaining less fortunate citizens.

220 years ago (tomorrow) the Bill of Rights became a part of the US Constitution. This document doesn't seem to count for much any more. We fought and died and killed for those rights. They must have seemed pretty important back then.
Our government has been violating those rights for a long time. Every day on the local, state and national level our fellow citizens are imprisoned, tortured and killed. They even pay private companies (a lot of money) to do it.
Maybe you don't quite get it ?
Tonight, or tomorrow, a glorified security guard could just grab you and toss you in the back of a van. Some guy working at the mall today could grab your father or daughter tomorrow and they would just disappear. No warrant, no notice and they wouldn't have to notify anybody.
The Senate and the House have both voted to make this legal. The president said he would veto it but changed positions today. The final vote should happen next week (or sooner).
Are you really going to sit back and let this happen ?

HELP ME GET A JOB AT GOOGLE

My family keeps telling me that I picked the worst time to graduate. I want to prove them wrong. I've always wanted to work at Google, and just recently, they've opened new positions for recent grads.

But instead of submitting the typical resume, I decided that if I wanted to get noticed, I needed to be creative and strategic. So...I built my resume into my Google+ profile with the help of Photoshop and InDesign.

Here's where I need everyone's help...I need as many people to +1 this and share it as possible. In one week, I will take a screenshot of this post, and send it in with my application as an addendum. Hopefully, they'll appreciate what I did, and +1 me with an interview.

Wish me luck, and your +1s and shares are most appreciated!

My apologies to whoever posted this earlier - I just got a chance to watch it and can't find the original post.

This video was made in response to a recent beauty pageant and the contestants responses regarding evolution. In response, a group of scientists and science writers gathered a dream team of women who work in science to patiently explain what everyone should already know: that evolution is real and should be taught to students in schools.

--------- sigh -----------------

I understand natural selection. This should not be a matter of belief since there is ample evidence for any (yes any) one, to see and touch and understand. This article and video not only fails to prove that evolution is real, it probably will cause those people who don't understand it to be more certain that the theory is wrong. They repeatedly point out that evolution is how people "came to be".

Thems fightin' words, right there. - let's try it a different way.

Evolution explains how and why organisms look and act the way they have in the past as well as today.

Simply saying that evolution is real - even when you are saying it slowly, or seriously or you may be considered attractive is not all that persuasive. A little explanation or illustration might be more informative.

Most people will gladly agree that a modern man is a descendant of his parents, grand parents and great grand parents. Lots of people take pleasure in discovering that some long ago relative was a great warrior, king or other famous person. Most people are also aware that as little as a few hundred years ago most people were shorter than most people are today. I have never (yet) had even one person tell me that this is a result of Gods will.

If scientists would take the "uninformed" gently by the hand and explain that it's just natural that through the process of natural selection, bigger people were better able to beat up littler people. And so their genes got a better chance to carry on (wink wink) that is the simplest explanation of why people on average are taller these days that they used to be.

It's so simple really. Instead of telling people that they are wrong, why not just show them what is right. For example: SHUT UP STUPID. YOUR GOD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. versus - I really can't speak to your belief in God and would rather keep my personal beliefs to myself, but.... See these bacteria. This antibiotic killed most of those bacteria. These ones over here were genetically just a little bit different and survived. They reproduced and the other ones died and that's why we need to give you a different antibiotic this time, see?

I guess the moral is: If you know more than somebody else it might be better to teach them than to just insult their intelligence. They might just understand things if you give them a chance.

You are either not being honest with yourself (I hope) or are hiding behind the shield of secular humanism on purpose. When you question your own beliefs and share your questions that is an honorable and honest thing to do. When you insist that others must question their beliefs - Yes, you are trying to exterminate something meaningful to them. I often (quite often) learn things about myself in these online discussions. I make a sincere effort to know the limitations of my knowledge and myself. If you are an honest and honorable person (like say an Atheist is) I hope you will look at your motivation. I love Atheists and respect Antitheists too but I don't care much for hypocrites.

About Weary Willie Day - Dec 9
This holiday was named for the character made famous by Emmett Kelly, who was born on this day in 1898. Today is a day to appreciate the art of clowning and the impact that it has had on our lives. Take some time to learn to juggle, or at least wear some really big pants.

Look again; no this is not the size of the planets as compared to the sun. Yes, whatever we do, please don't tax the "job creators"... because they're just keeping their heads above water like the rest of us. However in their case, they own the pool and are just out for a relaxing swim. How rude of the rest of us to be making all those drowning noises!

I would be okay with paying a bit more if the 1%ers would too. Since they don't think they should pay then why should we ?

The G+ Newbie Guide to Internet Etiquette
(mostly for G+, but can apply anywhere)

Based on a conversation that happened in one of my posts where both of us misunderstood each other (and, unfortunately, I think I was the one that got blocked), I offer you my guide to communicating with people in a non-offensive way. This is etiquette applies to locals and internationals, to newbies and hipsters. Be polite, yo.

Stay On Topic. Pick a post you like and make a comment related to that post. Do not start an entirely new conversation within the comments that isn't related to the original post. This rule is simple courtesy and shouldn't be broken unless you already know the person and are on personal speaking terms.

State Your Intention. This is very important if you are trying to talk to an American and you aren't from a country where the native language is English (or even if you're an American but you are new to the land of the internets). Unfortunately, we Americans are mostly assholes that think everyone is out to scam us out of our money or get in our pants, and it takes very little to make us suspicious. This is not your fault. We're paranoid. To do this successfully without throwing out red flags, follow these steps:

1) Make a new post and put their name in with a + sign.
2) Say "hi." Not hhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiii or heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy or any other greeting that looks like your keyboard is broken. Despite popular opinion, non-Americans are not the only violators of this rule.
3) If foreign: tell that person that you are from another country and you want to make new friends on G+. If you don't speak English very well, mention that you are practicing the language and apologize in advance for any misunderstandings.
4) Make sure you clearly state that you only want to make new friends. If you are looking for a date, sign out of G+ and seek out a dating site. G+ is not a dating site. I cannot emphasize this enough. This applies to all genders speaking to all genders.
5) Tell that person why you circled them and say thanks. Thank you for reading, thank you for being interesting, or just sign your post with a plain "thanks." Everyone likes politeness.
6) Do not ask personal questions. Even something as innocent as "where do you live?" can be taken the wrong way. This is where a lot of cultural misunderstandings happen. If the information is not available in the person's profile, then just assume they don't want you to know. Try to talk about something you liked on their posts or something you might have in common (for instance, if you are both writers, talk about your writing).

Do Not Advertise. Use your own profile for advertisements. Do not post them in other people's comments.

Do Not Arbitrarily Block People. This applies to my American friends that are flag and block crazy. Those of us that have been around on the internet for a while learned our etiquette the hard way and we forgot what it was like to be a newbie. Be more forgiving than normal to these people. If they appear to be spamming your posts give them fair warning before you block. So far I've only tried this twice and it has worked. We know it's not cool to ask for someone to circle you; they don't. Maybe those poor souls came from Facebook and they don't know any better. Tell them so they don't repeat this mistake. Also don't block blue heads just because their profile may be blank. Block them if they do something offensive. Don't block them for testing the waters of G+. I personally know people that haven't filled out profiles, made posts, or even put up a real picture of themselves, and they have no intention of spamming anyone. Lurkers are people, too!


Just remember that not everyone knows or follows the rules of American internet etiquette. (Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?)

Go, my little minions. Go forth and make friends. And be nice to each other.

If you have anything to correct or add to this list let me know. I'm going to perma-link it in my profile.

As I wade through all the garbage that is so popular these days, one question keeps coming back to me. I've been rearranging my circles so I don't have to see all the attacks by people that have offended me, so I might have missed it,but.... If anybody can explain it for me I'd be glad to listen.

If there is no God, how could He have caused so much misery.

I will not respond negatively to any legitimate attempt to explain. I will remove any personal attacks by anyone else too. People are hesitant to discuss openly in a hostile environment so please keep it civil.*

*Yes - I mean you, my fellow believers. Be nice.

Hi - I just added you because you riled Margaret L up so well. Good job. I don't know for sure though if she is really that nasty/greedy or perhaps might just enjoy pissing people off. I rarely respond to her and keep her in a special circle with other trolls...

I have re-circled you, but have put you in a circle of people who post things I don't want to see everyday. I do think you should be able to speak what you think. I just don't want to see it any more than you want to see hateful things from believers.

I would like to explain my position. I will leave it up to you to decide if you want to hear it though. There is no hate in my position but I do think you are not being honest with yourself about how you feel. Since I think your true thoughts are important to you I will wait to see if you want to hear me or not.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and I look forward to further communications about this or other subjects. For what it's worth, an amusing side story - the love of my life is a "born again" Christian and her friends and family can not yet understand how she can be "involved" with someone named Kelly. I think they would rather she was dating an Atheist that a Catholic.

Hi David Kokua, how're you? Thanks for the add. I wasn't trying to blow smoke up your shorts (or whatever the expression is.) Just calling them as I see them. Hey, how do you like the new "say hello feature ?"

On December 5th, 1933, Utah, the final state needed for a three quarters majority, ratified the 21st Amendment... I'd like to invite G+lushes all over the world to celebrate by buying me a drink. I'm partial to Irish Single Malt Whiskey but you may send me some Jamaican Overproof or Mexican Tequilla Añejo will do fine.

Hey you G+eniuses - How about an app... A filter for our "problem" circles. Say take out 9 out of 10 gif's. A filter for people we don't want to actually lose, but just cut down some of the volume of "less desirable" content.

As True Christians we are suspect to anything with the word Fire in it. Amazon likes to use Luciferian terminology in describing their popular products. Much like Apple Inc mocks the story of Adam and Eve by implying it is ‘okay’ to take a bite out of the Apple because it gives you knowledge.

Ode to Spot

Ode to Spot

Felix Catus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

By Commander Data - United Federation of Planets

Happy Caturday

Hi - I looked at your profile after seeing a reshare of the Reasons Greetings card. When I noticed Ila East as the 1st person on our peeps in common thing I decided to add you. I don't always send a note, but "Question everything" - it seemed appropriate...

thanks - yep - need more coffee I guess

thanks - yep - need more coffee I guess
I just barely remembered to send this private- lol

I just got circled by Scott Moyer - He seems like a very militant type Atheist and I sent him a note about mutual respect issues before circling back. I'm so glad I did because I'd never have seen this card otherwise. Happy whatever to all the plussers in my Atheist interest circle.
