Mike Tyson Candid About Past, Future, Calls Himself 'a Pig' (Fanhouse Backporch)

Jul 16th 2010 4:15PM Mike Tyson has taken the first step, and that is to admit to all the wrong doing and wrong decisions in his life. From poverty to wealth, back to poverty. A too often saga. BUT, openly admitting the mistakes is only the FIRST step towards self-redemption. It's the atonements of those wrongs that are the hardest to do, and endure. Atonement is the key to gaining self-respect after letting it decline. Famous people will often say they've done wrong, and along comes some fly-by-night biographer to write a lot of BS, which of course gets turned into a screen play and then the money comes rolling back in from Hollywood. It will be interesting to watch Tyson's recovery and what steps he takes towards redemption, what wrong he determitedly atones to. Getting this publicity will only earn him a few bucks, but nothing to what he had come accustomed to. I'll be watching his recovery with detail.

Explosive Danger (MyDaily)

Jul 15th 2010 7:21PM This article is just a reminder of how pathetic we as a society have become. It reminds me of a recent comparison between 1958 and 2010:
In 1958 little Johnny finds a firecracker and stuffs it into an ant-hole; firecracker blows up, ants die................In 2010 little Johnny finds a firecracker and stuffs it into an ant-hole, firecracker blows up, ant die, little Johnny is arrested for detonating an explosive device and is placed on Homeland Security's "Watch-List" as a domestic terrorist. He is not allowed to fly.
As stated above..."Grow a Pair", settle down, and come up with a RESONABLE punishment for his "crime". My suggestion would be that he spend his Saturdays washing and scrubbing all the school's trash cans. High School pranks (even destructive ones) have been around since the classic Cherry Bomb has devastated boy's room toilets.

10 Destinations NOT to Visit (AOL Travel News)

Jul 9th 2010 10:58AM Wow, the reporter sure is taking it in the shorts for just about everything in that article. And well deserved too. I've been to several of those places listed (and I do agree, Everest IS a waste of time and money since a vast majority of the "work" is done by Sherpas). Wall Drug is neat, as is the Winchester House. Four Corners? Been there, worth the trip, but only once. Euro-Disneyland? Pilgrimage. The oddities of the world are just that...Oddities, and worth seeing at least once in your lifetime. It's the unique and odd that make them attractive. My guess is the reporter travels via star quality hotels and 1st class seating and considers himself (or herself) worldly. I've seen the world's largest Buddha in Japan and have waded in the Borneo rice patties. I've touched the white lions of Singapore and stood on the edge of Crater Rim. Hearst's Castle is a one-time visit, as is Rugby, N. Dakota (alledged geographical center of N. America). I'd like to see that little boy peeing and wouldn't find it a waste of time to visit an active volcanic isle either. It's the oddities; much like reporting and not knowing the difference between a state and a country.

Barrett-Jackson OC '10: Color-shifting Lamborghini LM002 (Autoblog)

Jun 27th 2010 3:55PM Ugly? Certainly. Paint- pathecally bad. Useless? Most definetely. It's hard to believe that someone, somewhere, actually took the time to design this monstrosity that won't even see a gravel driveway, let alone true off-road. Would I own one? Yes, only to sell it to by a real off-roader. Does someone actually buy this junk? Yes, the ones with just as much money as stupidity. Lamborhini has laid waste to the old adage "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". There is nobody, NOBODY who can have funtioning brain cell and state this is anything short of stupid and ugly.

Sarah Palin at Belmont Stakes in T-shirt, Cargo Pants, and Trucker Hat (Stylelist)

Jun 8th 2010 10:29AM I'll take a woman in a t-shirt and jeans over a woman in some phony "smell me" chic outfit anyday of the week. Women who dress up all fanciful, dress that way to impress.......other women; along with those nose-in-the-air people who try and follow fashion (as if THEY know what fashion is). Talk about your people who have no life; it's the people who find fault in the way others dress. For Belmont, or any other horse-race for that matter, jeans and a t-shirt are very fitting. Go Sarah!!

Fly Your Flag Right this Memorial Day (Holidash News)

May 30th 2010 9:50AM Don: Your post has an excellent question. First and foremost, the flag was never intended to be put on a sleeve of anything, it just started. As it has started, there have never been any written rules, it was decided by some college-educated moron somewhere who has never studied the rules of heraldry. By those rules (historically), the flag should be sewn onto the LEFT sleeve, with the union (stars) shown to be upper-left. Rules of heraldry always had the herald (mark, emblem or flag) placed on the shield, which was always held in the left hand or arm. The soldier or knight in that manner always stood behind his herald and it was the herald the protected him from harm. The solder or knight would also be able to wield his defensive (and yes, sometimes offensive) weapon with his right arm. Unfortunately, sometimes history is oft ignored if ever read in the first place.

Nun Excommunicated For Abortion Decision To Save Mother's Life (Politics Daily)

May 23rd 2010 11:13AM This is exactly why I do not participate in, nor contribute to, any organized religion. The article says Sister McBride has been excommunicated from the church, a religious form of capital punishment, but summarily adds that she can lift excommunication simply by going to confession. Anyone else see the hypocrisy in this? Catholics (and most other organized religions), give themselves an out when it comes to committing sins (and/or crimes). Confession. Catholics will stab anyone in the back on a momments notice, then use the confessional to wipe away that, giving them the opportunity to go out and stab another. Catholics gamble (they did make bingo popular) that they can make it to the confessional after comitting any crime before death, at which time they must stand in utter judgement. Catholics remain criminals on society, Jews are determined to own everything, Muslims want to kill everyone, Mormons want 10% of anything you may own and Lutherans just want to travel abroad and build schools to educate those who will make no use of the education they receive. I believe in the Golden Rule (which by the way, cannot be taught in any schools today), "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them do Unto You." That simple rule, puts all others to debate.

Living on a cul-de-sac may make you fat (WalletPop)

May 15th 2010 1:38PM Another waste of time an money. What a farce of an article, on top of being totally useless. If designed correctly, a cul-de-sac is an excellent space saver, provides a safer environment for small children (less or non-excistent through traffic). In reference to them making anyone "fatter", I see virtually no evidence of that in the article, nor in real life (remember "real life" professor?). I would suggest he intensify the study to include the greater reality that those neighbors on a cul-de-sac are monre in touch with their neighbors, offering greater security in groups like "Neighborhood Watch". I grew up somewhat distant from a cul-de-sac, but remember envying those little pockets who annually (usually July 4) blocked off their little road and held a giant party and BBQ. I've seen cul-de-sac yard sales, again the block cardoned off, patrons required to park on the adjacent street. There are a LOT more "pros" to the cul-de-sac, than "cons". Get a life professor, get out in the real world and discover what that's like.

George Harrison's Former Doctor Involved in Second Patient's Lawsuit (Spinner)

May 9th 2010 11:13AM To "Dal"....What a moronic statement. I'm under 60 and appreciate The Beatles contribution to music very much. I am a HUGE fan of The Beatles. If you want to use the word "virtually", use it correctly. I would be very safe in saying the "virtually", every successful music artist living today could say they were somehow, somewhere and in someway, influenced by The Beatles and their music. Only then, could you break it down even further to the contributions made by the individual members of The Beatles; i.e.: Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The Beatles music is iconic, symbolic, influential, and to top it all off, just downright fun.

Sir Paul McCartney Takes On the Livestock Industry Over Global Warming (Spinner)

May 7th 2010 10:20PM Wow, so much to comment on. First, I find it contradictory to stop eating meat one day a week. That will be numerous cattle that go on producing methane because they're not being killed for the beef (beef does NOT produce methane, living cattle do). Deforestation to make room for farming? Don't think so. Deforestation is making room for more HOUSES, as the flat land that WERE farms, were sold off to make room for...HOUSES. Do the math. "Has been" musician? That comment is so blatantly stupid it's not worth commenting on. Have a good day people, I'm going out for salad and steak.
