Journey Of Self-Discovery Leads Man To Realization He

Doesn't Care




Middleton, ID—Three months after setting off down a

long spiritual path to find himself, 45-year-old Lee

Luckman arrived at the conclusion Tuesday that he does

not care. "I spent many long hours meditating, studying

the works of great thinkers and spiritual leaders, and

delving deep within myself for some kind of answer, and

then it hit me: I couldn't care less," Luckman said of

his soul-searching journey. "screw it. screw it all."

Luckman briefly considered writing a self-help book to

make the journey easier for others, but decided that he

also didn't give two shits about whether other people

arrived at the same conclusion he did.

WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?You've made it! A whole 7 months without a cigarette! In that time, you've successfully navigated the physical chaos of withdrawal, the emotional highs and lows of early quit, and the pitfalls of relapse!


alt WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?Countless times you've refused the offered cigs. More times than that you've craved nicotine, but opted for health, instead. You've endured teasing, lack of support, and feeling uncomfortable and out of place among smokers. You may have had issues with weight, anger, tension or sadness, but still you stayed SMOKE-FREE!


alt WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?You're adjusting to a whole new lifestyle. You're already thinking different thoughts. You've changed habits and routines. You've made new friends and, perhaps, let go of some old ones. You're starting to realize the benefits of living a SMOKE-FREE life. More and more, you see yourself as a non-smoker.


alt WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU TODAY?And while you've been doing all this for yourself, you've been helping everyone here at the Q: your membership in our community, whether active or passive, has demonstrated an ongoing support of the efforts of all of us. We hope you stay with us as you continue your SMOKE-FREE journey to a fuller, richer, healthier life.

 Doctors
(A)  The number of physicians in the  U.S. is 700,000.

(B)  Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are
120,000.

(C)  Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Statistics courtesy of  U.S.  Dept of
Health  and  Human Services.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now think about this:
Guns
(A)  The number of gun owners in the  U.S.is 80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million)

(B)  The number of accidental gun deaths per year,
all age groups,is 1,500.

(C)  The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
..0000188
Statistics courtesy of FBI

So,  statistically, doctors are approximately
9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT:  NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT

Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this
alarming threat.  We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large,
We withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention!

I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
...I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this speaker, Nan ,
I do not like this 'YES WE CAN.'
I do not like this spending spree,
I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.
I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.
I do not like this kind of hope.
I do not like it, nope, nope, nope!

I didn't write this but thought i'd share

 

 

 

 

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:


Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.


I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.


1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan,

James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia

(It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian :)

From
the L. A. Times
1. 40% of
all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million
people) are working for cash and not paying taxes.
This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working
without a green card.
2.) 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3.) 75...% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
5.) Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention
centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6.) Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are
living in garages.
7) The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9.) 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10). In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are
10.2 million people in L.A. County
10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)

Less
than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States
' annual population growth and
over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons
are illegal aliens .

We are fools for
letting this continue You can't enter any other country illegally why is it racism when you do it here!

Never Post This on Facebook
 

  • One: Your full birthdate, especially the year: that's a ticket to ID theft. Month and day are fine for your friends. Leave the year out.
  • Two: Photos of young children, with their names linked to the photo.
  • Three: Saying online when you are going out of town, which is a welcome mat to local burglars.

Does this sound obvious?  It's not. Consumer Reports says almost half of Facebook users post their full birthdate.



Consumer Reports, in its annual State of the Net Survey, found that:

  • 42% of Facebook users post their full birthdate, which should be a no-no.

  • 26% of parents have posted their kids' photos.

  • 8% post their home address, another no-no.

  • And 36% have used Facebook apps or games without checking to see if they were safe or secure.

Remember, anything you post on Facebook can be found by anyone, anywhere.  Consider it a public billboard.  You probably would not want your 5 year old little girl's name and photo on a billboard for everyone to see.

Times are Tough. The economy is so bad that: I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them. Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico . Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. The Mafia is laying off judges. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear! And, finally... I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
