Merry Cristmas and Happy New Year, everyone! + some jokes ;)...

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas? Hope a great year is ahead of us too, despite the bad consequences of the number 13, according to some guys ;)! Hope these jokes/anecdotes I found could help anyone to deal better with the time left until the new year's eve! Best of the best wishes!

"Doctor, I feel awful in the morning when I got drunk in the evening before that... Can you give me some advice, tips?"
"Let's see, then... Have you tried not to get drunk in the evening?"
"Oh, yes... I got drunk in the morning instead, but then my head hurt in the evening...

"Hello, Red Riding Hood, " said the big bad wolf. "What are you carrying in your bag?"
And Santa Claus thought to himself: 'Why I had to shave myself???'

A young orphan wrote a letter to Santa Claus: "Dear Santa, I'm a kid without parents and no money and would really like to have a scarf, a coat and a pair of boots for Christmas..." Then addressed the letter with the only address of Santa he knew: To Santa Claus, Lapland. The agents in the post office were really kind and reading the letter, decided to gather some money of theirs and buy this kid the presents. But it turned out their money were enough only to buy him a pair of boots and a coat. When the kid received the presents, he was really happy and wrote back to Santa right away: "Dear Santa! Thank you very much for the presents, but you have to know that the idiots in the post office stole my scarf..."

...and to deal with that, we need a feast which combines many of our traditions, customs and believes... Can we find a better solution  than Christmas?... from my future Space Hide&Seek.

My sinecere condoleneces to all the victims' families and relatives in the school in New Town, Connecticut...



 This post should be about my jokes for the weekend or the beginning of the new week, yet the dreadful murder of twenty innocent kids and six of their teachers in New Town, Connecticut, USA was so brutal, cruel and meaningless that jokes would not be appropriate at all…
My sincere condolences to all the victims’ families and relatives must be the only written words here, as well as some good suggestions and thoughts I found in Internet. I’m not an America citizen and an expert in USA’s Constitution and all the good and bad sides of America’s laws, but it’s obvious after such a horror (and it’s not the only one) there must be some changes made in some of them (I was in shock with the words of an American weapon expert who said on the news that in Virginia one has to be twenty one year old to drink and buy alcohol in restaurants and shops but when one wants to buy a weapon, no one would ask for an ID card!)…
And I won’t discuss the issue that Americans should be so concerned about the dead kids in other countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, etc because of USA’s bombing as they are about the poor little souls who lost their lives in the school in New Town, as the goal of this post is not about that:
   
TURN OFF THE NEWS.......

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."
A state-of-the-art assault weapon in 1791
Yes, we have this debate every time some sick bastard buys some guns and shoots innocent people, and I have no doubt that this episode of the the debate will end the same way it always does:
With each side endlessly repeating their usual bullet points and then getting bored and moving on.
And then in another week or month or year, some other sick bastard will buy himself a cache of weapons and slaughter more innocent people, and then we'll have the debate again.
And so on...
And that's understandable, if frustrating--especially for those whose family members and friends are the ones who are killed.
For better and worse, we do have a constitutional "right to bear arms" in this country, and it should take a broad consensus to amend the Constitution. And, yes, it probably does make sense for us to have at least some right to bear some arms, even if having the right to buy quasi-machine guns like the one used in the Colorado massacre seems ludicrous. And there's a vast difference between bearing some arms in, say, Wyoming, and bearing them in New York City, where the population density is a tad higher, and so forth. So, of course, this is going to be a contentious and impassioned debate.
But can we at least agree on one thing?
Can we at least agree that, since 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified, the country's circumstances have changed?
In 1791, for example:
  • There were only 3.9 million Americans
  • The "arms" we gave ourselves the right to bear were vastly less powerful--namely they were single-shot muskets that had to be manually loaded with powder and ball for each shot, versus today's semi-automatic assault weapons that spray 50-60 high-caliber bullets per minute
  • It was legal to own slaves in some parts of the country (Constitutionally permissible behavior that, fortunately, changed)
  • "America" didn't extend west of the Mississippi River (and, really, it was only the 13 colonies)
  • Indians still attacked occasionally
  • We hunted a lot of our food
  • "States" really were separate countries in those days--it took months to travel from one end of the country to the other
  • The "frontier" (and many other parts of the country) was essentially lawless: Citizens had to protect themselves, because no one else was around to do it (Now, most states have well-armed police forces, etc.)
  • And so on...
Basically, can we at least agree that giving ourselves the unfettered right to buy, sell, and own whatever kinds of weapons we want might have made more sense in 1791 than it does today--and, therefore, that it's a bit unfair to couch this debate in terms of "defending the Constitution" and/or trying to figure out what the Framers meant by "a well-regulated militia"?
Ar-15 Colorado shooting
Getty
The Framers meant THESE arms when they wrote the Second Amendment? Really??
I mean, do folks really think that if the "Framers" had seen what happened in that Colorado movie theater last week, they still would have written the Second Amendment the way they did--with no qualifications?
Yes, this point is academic, because the Second Amendment is what it is.
But can we all at least agree that it's a bit, if nothing else, outdated?
Or are we all totally cool with any old sick bastard being able to buy as many quasi-machine guns as he or she wants?

Winner(!!!!!) of MOST IMPORTANT POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Art Schultz:

Finally, I will say this about the mass murders in Connecticut.

All too often, People hide inactivity behind prayer, hoping things will get better without taking any action themselves, By all means Pray if you feel the need
To do so. just remember that it does not end there. You have not done your
Part which is to become ACTIVE. Do not become angry because God did not

Do something amazing to compensate for mans passivity and laziness.

The mental health and the future of this Nation and all nations rests upon
Our caring enough for our Children, working and middle class, our Military , Women , Seniors, LGBT, and all people who are DIFFERENT than us.

The fact that you may not live forever or feel that the well being of strangers
Has nothing to do with you is WRONG. You, a Family Member or someone
You know can just as easily become the next victim in a major incident.

It is time that I , we and YOU let your elected officials know that we care
About people who need psychiatric help, help with having health care, a
Roof over their heads, and food on their tables.

it is time that I, We and YOU demand GUN CONTROL. taking guns totally
Away from people is NOT what I am suggesting. I am saying we need better
Controls on WHO can have an Gun, how many and why. it is time that
People with mental and emotional issues not be allowed to just slip through
The crack and be able to weapons as easily as one buys a candy bar.

This will not be the last such massacre.They will continue to happen until
WE decide that it must stop. The news can help by not continually talking
About the perps who bare sick, sick individuals who in part do these things
Because they know they will have a place in history albeit a sick one.
Already, somewhere there is some sick person already thinking about how
They can break the record and show up the last one.

Finally, by all means PRAY, but please take ACTION too and call your
Elected officials, Visit your Childs school and know who their friends are
And let someone know when you see REAL antisocial tendencies in children.
They might get the help they need if WE demand it. No age is too young.

What you DO from this day forward is what will prevent others copycat
Incidents. All of the Prayer, Candles , flowers, vigils and Teddy Bears left
On the side of buildings and parks are useless compared to actually DOING
Something.

PEACE

a short video about Israel and Palestine....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y58njT2oXfE&feature=player_embedded
Truth can hurt more than any physical injury and it's usually in the middle... These statements are true for any moments in our history, as the statement the first reason for a war are the greediness, strive for new territories and natural resources, then  the second is the unnecessary revenge (as some of my characters say in a future book of mine).
I cannot claim I'm an amazing expert in history or politics, but couldn't refrain from posting this short and true video (I hope my good Jew friends won't be offended, they love their land very much). But I guess all the angry people who cannot bare the sight of Jews and want to send them all into oblivion have to watch it very carefully... I really hope the future for both nations will be perfect...

weekend jokes :)... some not very good for kids...

Do you know the obvious difference between a hooker and a deputy? A hooker is paid to fulfill others' desires, a deputy is paid to fulfill his/her own whims...

A new employee in a bank was in shock as a man with a mask with 2 holes for his eyes enters... She began to desperately search for the panic button, but a colleague of hers calmed her down: "Relax, it's the boss..."
"But why he's dressed like that???"  
"Well, he says it's just an old habit of his..."

Success is the only unforgivable sin, according to our relatives and kin... Ambrose Bierce.

If the 1st reason for a war are the greediness, strive for new territories and natural resources, etc, then the 2nd is the unnecessary revenge. from my future The Origin Of Gods.

How soap operas could become more interesting for all the people?




There are so many people who cannot live without the endless number of episodes of usually meaningless soap operas. I guess there are as much other TV and movie fans who cannot bare the sight and sound of the “boring and irritating” scenes and lines in these long creations of the seventh art. Though I could associate myself with the second group, I’ll try not to offend anyone by this note/post, as its goal is to show the good sides of some of the so called soap operas.
Actually, my inspiration for these writings of mine appeared after I watched some episodes of a Turkish TV saga: The Magnificent Century. A very well-made story about the long-gone years of the flourishing state of The Ottoman Empire, with a lot of treachery, intrigues and infidelities, as it behooves to a real soap opera. Yet, all these usual features were combined with a lot of history facts, ancient wisdom of Quran, many of the one-time habits, magnificent costumes, etc, which made the TV saga something more than endless episodes full of meaningless jabber, cheating, or infidelities and marriages of convenience. Probably some of the facts and events in this soap opera were exaggerated and had little in common with the real history, nevertheless watching it one could get a pretty good idea about the past of some of the former, famous empires. It seems that’s the reason why I (and many other non-fans of soap operas too) could enjoy this TV saga together with my parents.
I guess many TV fans would say the episodes of The Magnificent Century couldn’t be considered a typical soap opera, the title historical saga would be more appropriate (though I would underline on second thought the difference between the usual, endless episodes for our modern families and the one-time events and treacheries is not so great). Besides, I also think historical facts and events are not the only changes that could be added to the so called “meaningless” sagas. The screen-writers could insert in the scripts some of the modern wisdom, there are a lot of good thoughts and quotes of modern philosophers, scientists, actors and actresses, etc. that could be used:
If you don’t want tax dollars helping the sick and poor, then it’s time to stop saying you want a government based on Christian values. John Fugelsang.
The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away. David Viscott.
Don’t let school ruin your education. A. Einstein.
Life has many ways of testing a person’s will. Either by having nothing happened at all, or by having everything happen all at once. Paolo Coelho.
It is not the wound that teaches but the healing. Marty Rubin. etc.
If they are written and used at the right places, then the soap operas will become a combination of genres, thus much more interesting for much more people?

some jokes for the new week...:) not all good for kids...

Hope everyone are preparing for Christmas and New Year's Eve?  I wish everyone happy holidays!

A woman asked her husband before they went to bed: "Honey, where's your wedding ring?"
"Well, my dear... Here's what happened..." And that's how the trilogy The Lord Of The Rings was created...

A girl wrote as her status at facebook: "I'll sleep naked tonight..."
Immediately, 1000 mosquitoes hit the like button...

"I like the thinking people!" said the scientist.
"I like these who believe." said the priest.
"And I like the  men of affairs." said the banker.
"Well, I like everyone who have a head on their shoulders..." added the executioner....

If some goals are good excuse for their meanings, other meanings could ruin their goals on all sides, squeeze the good out of them that way it could become a simple trash, or turn everything there into a pure evil... my The Origin Of Gods.
