 ”Anti-male discrimination has become far greater in scope, in degree, and in damage than any which may exist against women.” - Men’s rights advocate Richard F. Doyle

  Men enjoy higher earnings, control more wealth, exercise more power, do less house work and get more respect than women.  But is the male world not nearly as privileged as some people think?  If men are so privileged in our society then why do they turn to crime more often then women?  Did you know that the police are more reluctant to arrest a woman especially if she has children?  This fact explains why 78% of arrests for serious crime put the handcuffs on a man.  Men make up 93% of the prison population in the U.S.

  Did you know that men are twice as likely as women to suffer serious assault?  Three times more likely to fall victim to homicide? Four times more likely to commit suicide?   [Read more →]

Since I have been working in an industry that sells wine I have been asked many times what are the differences from all the wines on these shelves.  Here is a brief description of the types of wines and what food to eat them with.  I also included wines you should try if you are not sure what you are looking for.  I picked inexpensive wines so you don’t break your budget:

White Wine:

• Chardonnay:  The flavor is dry, oaky and full-bodied
  • Drink this wine with Seafood, Poultry, Shell Fish and goes great with Caesar Salad
  • My suggestions:  Woodbridge, Clos Du Bois, Yellow Tail and Hogue.
• Sauvignon Blanc:  The flavor is dry, citrusy and grassy nose (nose is the smell)
  • Drink this with Seasoned Poultry, Fish, and Summer Salads
  • My suggestions:  Chateau St. Jean Fume Blanc, Barefoot, Ecco Dominai, Rancho Zabaco
• Pinot Grigio:  The flavor is light, crisp, fruity and dry.  Quickly becoming the most popular white wine.
  • Drink with Mild Fish, Pasta and Mild Cheese
  • My suggestions: Santa Margharita, Blackstone, Turning Leaf, Cavit and Bella Sera

 Imagine using human beings as labratory animals? It is exactly what happened for forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis.  Imagine 28 of the men had died directly of syphilis, 100 were dead of related complications, 40 of their wives had been infected, and 19 of their children had been born with congenital syphilis.

  My question about this is how come I never heard about this in my many years of education?  As you read do you think that this is true or just a conspiracy?  Did you ever learn about this in your years of education before college?

  On May 16, 1997 President Clinton apologized for the Tusgkegee Syphilis Experiment to 8 remaining survivors.  The United States government did something that was wrong—deeply, profoundly, morally wrong. It was an outrage to our commitment to integrity and equality for all our citizens. . . . clearly racist. [Read more →]

Palm Trees, Ants, Elephants and Mold are living things right?  Despite their diversity, living things are really not that different from each other.  What common things do all living things have:

1. All living things maintain a high degree of order and complexity.  Any living thing is more complex then any object constructed by humans.  A jet air plane is less complex then a mold spore as an example.
2. All living things are part of a larger systems of matter and energy.  Living things and their surrounding form complex ecosystems.
3. All life depends on a chemical reactions that take place in cells.  Most living things share a basic set of molecular building blocks and chemical reactions.
4. All life requires liquid water.  Liquid water possesses several unusual properties, including its ability as a solvent and its high heat capacity, which make it an essential medium in the cells of all living things.
5. Organisms grow and develop.  All organisms change in from and function at different stages in their lifeforms.
6. Living things regulate their use of energy and respond to their environments.  During periods of extreme cold or dryness, for example, many plants will lie dormant and animals will become sluggish.
7. All living things share the same genetic code, which is passed from parent to offspring by reproduction.  The chemical reactions in a cell are governed by a code written in the language of the molecule DNA.
8. All living things are descended from a common ancestor.  Evolution BABY!

Yunis al-Astal, a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palistinian parliament has declares!

Sure Muslim is a religion of peace! I read this and get hot under the collar.  How about some Muslims explain how this is ok?  How can any West Leaders support Hamas? Let see what else this cleric says:

• “Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion,” al-Astal preached, “so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da’wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.”  So they are going to take over the world? Pretty peaceful don’t  you think?
• “Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad,” he added.  I believe that is a declaration of War against The Roman Catholics!
• Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.  What a great leader!
• “When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties,” he said, calling Jews “the brothers of apes and pigs” who should “taste the bitterness of death.”  So noone can degrade the Muslims but Jews can be degraded as apes and pigs!  Where is CNN on this one!
• “I believe that our children, or our grandchildren, will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and, Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them.  Obviously He is taking over the World!
• “Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls – and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire at whose brink they stand.” AHHHHHH! If my preacher talked like this wouldn’t he be put away?

You don’t believe me watch this: [Read more →]
