  sorry for such a depressing question, but i was moved by a picture i saw of the consequences.

  ( a woman carrying her child) and i realised:-.

  a) it was a civillian population.. b) i don't see how a nuclear holocaust can ever be right.. c) they could have bombed tokyo where all the generals lived but chose hiroshima.. d) the irony after the bombing america conceeded to many of japans terms.. your opinion would be valued..

  White marine beaten by group of black men using Fergusen case as excuse, media won't say 'black men' though.

  by EndofMysteries in

  this pisses me off, after all the news agencies that point out that things such as the ferguson shooting were a white man killing a black "kid" (18 years old and if an 18 yr old is accused of commiting a sex crime then suddenly they are a "grown man").

  now look at this story from ny times, "a 32-year-old marine was beaten by a group of men outside of a mississippi restaurant after he was warned it wasn't safe for white people in the wake of the michael brown killing in missouri," .

  so black on white crime, i guess they can't say "a group of black men", it just has to be a group of men?

  Jews seem better adjusted over their treatment in WWII,

  than blacks are from slavery 150 years ago.

  Whatever.

  What the blacks went through was real and documented.

  What the jews went through was a story written by the victors.

  Part of political manuevering to establish Israel and steal the land from Palestine.

  A jew doesnt have to be a jew unless he wants to put that chip on his shoulder.

  A black has no choice but to be a black.

  i'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.

  i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.

  i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.

  I have lived in the same neighborhood since 81.

  I will wave and say hi to my neighbors but I don't talk to them.

  I like it that way.

  My wife will talk to many of the neighbors and I like that also.

  I have never been overly friendly to my neighbors even since childhood.

  I don't know if it is because I was always a witness and they were always of the evil world.

  Or I am just not very friendly to strangers.

  I think I am just not very friendly and I always have something to do.

  That is why I never liked meetings.

  It was like burning daylight and I never felt I had time to kill, foolishly.

  Also I have lived in Florida since 81 which is a state of transplants with no strong

  regional culture or oneness.

  Since 81, I have probably met less than 10 people,

  excluding children, who were born in florida.

  This whole black, white, Jewish, etc thing.

  Is the government using the Machavelian principal via the governmet controlled

  New media.

  It's all about dividing and conquering.

  All politicans of any worth or merit use this principal.

  It is like politics 101.

  Also divide and conquer creates a need and fills it.

  It creates a need for government intervention.

  And when the government intervenes the citizens loose rights and freedom.

  It is what it is.

  Sit back and enjoy the show.

  The media creates a story by reporting a false story and then runs with it.

  It makes a lot of money via advertising dollars.

  People will buy papers and use other forms of media to get information

  regarding the erroneous original story.

  In many ways it is irresponsible, shoddy journalism.

  All this terrible journalism over the years has given the black folks an erroneous complex.

  And white folks too for that matter.

  Hence the divide and conquer of the machevallian concept/ principal.

  Question: Is JW religion the most attacked one?

  by Da.Furious in

  i was having a chat with an elder and couple of friends regarding apostates and how to protect ourselves and funnily how to identify them!.

  during the discussion the elder mentioned: jehovah's witnesses is most attacked religion in the world.

  there are no other religions that are under the spotlight.

  I would say Islam is the most attacked religion in the world and rightly so.

  The JW's will never be able to compete with Islam in creating contempt, fear and loathing by

  the masses.

  The muslims are cultivating hate, ostracism and oppresion.

  1 most attacked muslims/ Islam.

  4-2 various groups of radical fanatics, doing evil in Gods name.

  5 the atheist for saying they are not a religion.

  6 Bible believing Christians.

  7 Catholic Church

  8 latter day saints

  9 Momons

  10 JW's

  My comment.

  My opinion.

  Man is evil.

  War is big business.

  The people of the United States did not want to enter world war 2.

  But Roosevelt allowed us to be attacked at Pearl Harbor to stir up and motivate the public for war.

  Just like Bush and Chaney allowed 911, to stir up the public for invading Iraq.

  Man is evil and does evil things. Especially when there is money and business involved.

  The United States is the world center of Capitalism.

  It will do anyting to make a profit.

  I think the United States evil mistake was getting involved in World War 2 at all

  We should have let Japan and Germany expand.

  They were only doing what the United States had previously done.

  The United States expanded from coast to coast and killed the natives.

  Why all of a sudden were we trying to stop other people from doing the same thing?

  Japan would have not attacked us at Pearl harbor if we were not a threat to them

  obtaining thier goal of expansion.

  The same with Germany, the USA was sending armaments to England in a passenger ship

  and the Germans blew it up. So the USA went to war.

  That was kind of like putting a chip on your shoulder and being supprised someone knocked it off.

  And it was evil and greedy to put weapons and armaments on a passenger ship.

  In America...many black men are in FEAR of the cop, the COP is the one with the gun. The COP is the one with the lawful right to "shoot to kill". When being stopped, make no sudden movements. Cops address people as SIR and MA'AM. Return the same respect. Know your rights. Even if you are wrongfully detained, searched, or arrested...stay calm, let your lawyer or the judge sort it out. At least you live and are not shot in 'self defense' by the officer.

  I am white and a retired deputy sheriff and I feel the same way for the same reasons.

  Fear can be a protection and keep one alive.

  I know when the police stop me, they are looking at me just like they look at anybody else even a black men.

  I see their hand by their gun.

  When I went to the police accademy that is how they taught me to be.

  I was taught to draw my gun any second.

  I was taught to stand in front of the mirror and practice drawing my gun.

  And that was back in the 80's.

  If I am stopped, I dont make any sudden moves.

  If the police want something out of my glove compartment or wallet.

  I go real slow and talk to them and tell them what I am doing in slow motion.

  They say you are supposed to keep your registration in the vehicle.

  But I keep mine in my wallet.

  That way I can have my wallet out before the cop gets to me with no sudden moves.

  I would put wallet on the dash before the cop gets to the car.

  Then pick it up when he tells me to.

  And there is less threat finding something in a wallet than probing and pulling things out of a glove compartment.

  Try not to give the police any reason to stop you.

  They are looking for reasons, no matter what color or sex you are.

  Do not weave or cross the lane line. That is probable cause. The cause would be dui.

  Make sure all your lights and blinkers are working, defective equipment is a reason to be stopped.

  When I was young before I became a sheriff, I was head strong and demanded my rights.

  I would not carry a wallet or ID while out in public.

  This is america, I didnt have to and I am white.

  Well, I got thrown against a squad car with 10 cops for demanding my rights.

  It is what it is.

  Dealing with the police is a process, a procedure.

  I don't like it. I try to avoid it.

  But from time to time it happens.

  It is best to keep calm, cool and comply.

  I don't really see a viable alternative.

  Have you ever been called for Jury Duty? before or after registering to vote?

  i've never been called for jury duty and i'm not yet registered to vote, although i'm hoping to get that done this month.

  i know someone who within a few months of registering to vote was called for jury duty.

  i've read some articles that said voter records 'used' to be used to call on people but that was a thing of the past.

  I left the tower in 83.

  Registered to vote.

  Got called for jury duty right away.

  Have not been called since.

  Its not hard to get out of jury duty if you want out.

  You just say, I can look at him and see he is guilty.

  And you get to go home.

  Today being retired, I would not mind doing jury duty.

  Sometimes there is nothing I can do to get a good night sleep.

  Often I take melatonin 5mg.

  I generally sleep 8 hours a night from 2 am until 10 am.

  I find if i exercise hard, it adversely affects my sleep.

  But it might have to do with the time I exrcise.

  I play soccer from 8:30pm until 10 pm on Wednesdays and I always have a rough night trying to sleep that night.

  I play soccer from 6:45 until 7:30 pm on Mondays, tuesdays and thursdays. I sleep much better those nights.

  I try not to drink any caffene after 12pm in the afternoon, or it will keep me up when I go to bed.

  I am now retired, I sleep much better and longer, When I worked I was always sleep deprived and had to fuel myself with coffee to stay

  awake then I had to spend 8 hours coming down from the coffee before I could fall asleep.
