Dr. Laura Schlessinger- Racist or Freedom of Speech?

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the conservative talk show host has decided to quit her radio show at the end of the year when her contract is up. Dr. Schlessinger is quitting her show because she claims she would like to move onto something where she can express her freedom of speech. Schlessinger used the "N" word eleven times when a black caller who is married to a white man called in to express her discomfort in some of her husbands friends make racist comments about their house. Schlessinger says the caller was hypersensitive to the word. Schlessinger shouldn't have the opportunity to to quit at the end of the year when her contract is up. She should just be out right fired! It sounds to me like Schlessinger is an underground member of the KKK. She thinks people are too sensitive to the "N" word and racist comments? How would she respond if someone called her a "cracker" or made racist comments to her ethnicity? Her parents had to have come from somewhere. After all, this is the United States. The country was founded by people migrating here. Unless you are an American Indian, you come from somewhere. I think no one should have the right to degrade another human being based on race, nationality or sexual orientation. Those should not be included under the freedom of speech act. The freedom of speech act has become a loop hole for racist. You can't go on the street and mutter the "N" word to a complete stranger or anyone else. So, why should you be able to go on air and use the "N" word? Technically on the street, if you repeatedly call someone the "N" word is would fall under hate crimes. Shouldn't she have charges filed against her for hate crimes?

Schlessinger was criticized in 2000 for saying negative comments about homosexuality. Which inspired gay activist to run a campaign to get her off the air. The racist old bag should have been yanked of the air in 2000. Now, I'm expressing my freedom of speech.

Iris Scanners- Hello 2010

Biometrics R&D firm Global Rainmakers Inc. (GRI) announced today that it is rolling out its iris scanning technology to create what it calls "the most secure city in the world."  GRI is partnering up with Leon, one of the largest cities in Mexico. GRI is going to fill the city with eye scanners.  So, whenever you walk into a business, use the ATM or try to board a plane, scanners will scan your eye and will reveal detailed information about you.  Law officials will start with the criminals first.  They will scan their iris and record all the data available on that person.  For example, if their is a warrant for someones arrest, if they attempt to walk into a business, use the ATM, or even try to board a plane, the scanners will alert the law enforcement of the location of the criminal.  It will become virtually impossible for someone with a warrant to board a plane. 

Eventually, the company plans on expanding to replace using debit cards, credit cards, and even scanning irises on the freeway.  So, when someone goes to the store or uses the ATM, their iris will be scanned instead of a card. The idea of all of bank information and credit card information being stored in huge data base sounds a little scary to me.
GRI's scanning systems are currently shipping to Leon.  GRI plans to begin Phase II of expanding to commercial enterprises in the next three years.
Scanning systems for law enforcement is actually not a bad idea.  Iris scanners would make it easier to catch known felons. Changing your identity won't be so easy for the known felon. However, I am sure with all new technology there are going to be bugs in the system and it may cause problems with mistaken identity with the average citizen.

Pit Bull Attacks

Every summer there is a rash of pit bull attacks.  People who own pit bulls and dogs in period should be more responsible with their animals.  I think the owners of dogs who attack people or other animals when they're dog gets out should be fined and possibly even have charges filed against them.  Pit bulls are great at escaping. If your going to own one you have to be responsible for the animal and make sure there is no possible way the animal can get out without being on a leash.  Pit bulls can be a very dangerous animal. People need to wise up and start being more responsible for their animals. Once the dog has escaped and bit someone, the owner should no longer be allowed to own the animal.  After all, it is only a dog and when someones life has been put in danger then they no longer have the right to own the dog. Apparently, they are not responsible enough to own a pit bull. Dog owners period should be more responsible for their animals. I quit walking my dog around the neighborhood because there are too many dog owners who do not have the proper fencing for their dog and they can escape too easily .  I should be able to walk my dog without the fear of another dog coming after my dog or me. A few summers ago when I was walking my dog another dog jumped the fence and came after us. I had my daughter with me. Thank God, the dog didn't bite one of us. But, he was growling at us and if we had moved he would have. There's several houses around the neighborhood where there are dogs and the fencing is not secure enough to hold them in.  Either, they have built some make shift fence out of 2 X 4's and the boards are spaced too far apart, the fence is falling apart or it is not high enough for the type of dog they have. 
Just last week alone in Wayne County there were two separate occasions of pit bull attacks.  The animals are very strong and the owners under estimate the power the animal has.  Now a child will be permanently damaged for life and nearly lost his life because of an irresponsible dog owner.

Another Black Eye For Israeli Soldiers

 An Israeli soldier is in trouble for posting pics of herself on Facebook smiling while next to and in front of blind folded Palestinian prisoner.  Really, it is disrespectful. For all she knows that man can be innocent.  No one really knows. I'm not defending the actions of the prisoners.  But, you never know how many people are taken in as prisoners that are innocent.  Sometimes, they pull people in who they think may be able to give them information but have nothing to do with what they are being questioned for.  I defended the Israeli soldiers who broke out in a choreographed dance while on duty. You have to have a little fun now and then if your a soldier to keep your sanity.  But, I don't agree with degrading another human. Now, if the person has been found guilty of terrorism or a crime. Then they should be punished. Be smart and save the Facebook pics for more appropriate times. 
Seriously, when are people going to learn not to post things on Facebook that are going to get them in trouble later? People read the Facebook posts. Not only does your post go on your friends pages, but it is also is viewable by their friends who have commented on your post and so on. Eventually, someone is going to come across a post they are offended by and report it. Granted people need to find better things to do with their time than report people for their facebook posts, unless a crime has been committed. But, that is the way it is. Be smart and be careful about what you post. It may cost you your job or get you in legal trouble somewhere down the line.

Doctors.....

My son had a doctors appointment this morning at 10:00 am for his vaccinations. Now, I had called to make an appointment for him at 9:15 and they told me to bring him in at 10:00. So, I rush around to get everyone out the door and have him there by 10 am.  Walk in the door and they say they can't see him until 1:00 now because the doctor had an emergency and her replacement won't be there until 1:00.  What kind of bullshit is that?  No phone call or nothing to tell me they changed his appointment and the doctors office is at least a 15 minute drive from my home.  I have been taking my children to this doctor for the past 11 years, they have my cell phone number.  Let a patient do a no show, no call and they would probably be trying to charge you. Most doctors offices require a 24 hour call in notice when cancelling an appointment or they will bill you for the office call. But, for some reason they aren't required to call you when your appointment has been changed at the last minute.  It would have been nice if she actually picked up the phone and called me to tell me the appointment was changed.  Maybe I hadn't left yet or even if I was driving I could have turned around before getting there, finding parking and dragging the kids inside only to find out his appointment was changed.  This only confirms my belief. Too many doctors think they are God and think they don't have to show common courtesy to their patients.  It's not the first time this doctor has pulled this.  There are other doctors in the office.  They should make sure they have another doctor on call to come in and replace the doctor who got called out on an emergency or at the very least pick up the phone and call you.  Because this happens way too much. The same thing happened over the winter when my son was sick.  They said she would be in, I drive him there when he was sick only to find out she got called on an emergency and I had to take him somewhere else. I really need to find another pediatrician.

Dead Beat Dads!!!

What is it with some men who seem to think it's okay to play games with their children's lives. Most mothers are always there for their children.  Some men seem to think they can walk away whenever they feel like it and they are not responsible for the children they make.  It's like they think it is the mother's job to make sure their kids are taken care of and they don't have to worry about putting food on the table or making sure their children have the clothes or things they need.  When you tell them they need clothes for school, damn they are no longer the dad and want a test. The courts up here in Michigan don't help mother's either. They told him he only had to pay $51.00 a month for child support for two children.  The courts up here are a joke.  It's a complete outrage what they do up here. He walked into the court with fake pay stubs saying he works less than minimum wage part time and the dumb ass judge believed him. The dead beat dad is part owner of a gas station and therefore can forge pay stubs for himself.  Even when the judge was told he was lying he said I had to prove it. Now, shouldn't the father be the one to have to prove what he makes. Not the mother. That's why there are way too many children out there who are not being taken care of by their fathers. It's like no one seems to care. The judges sit up there collecting their big fat paychecks to screw over mother's and their children. They ought to put men like that in prison. I know they say they will. But, they don't. Not up here. At least not until they get too far behind in what they call child support. To get the money, it means I have to take him back to court and miss work. If the dad isn't helping take care of them you can't afford to take off work. The courts tie our hands behind our back and there is nothing we can do about it.

The Big Booty Phase

Having a big booty has been coming around for a couple of years now.  For years, women who had the larger more rounder booty always wanted to be thinner and have the smaller figure. The smaller figure woman now want what they have and are willing to pay for it. They are finding the quick fix to the more larger rounder butt and some are willing to risk their health to get it. Women are going to the extreme, having parties where they have someone come and do injections in their buttocks to give them a more rounder and fuller butt. The problem with these parties is they are not professionals doing the injections and women are suffering from serious permanent damage from the injections. They are even selling big booty panties so women can look like they have a big booty.
Finally, the women with the big butts are fitting in. They no longer have to do everything in their power to try and shrink their butt and thighs. You don't have to be a twig anymore. Men want to see the thick thighs and big booties.  But, what's going to happen to all these women who are getting implants and injections when it is no longer in to have the large round butt and thick thighs?  They won't be able to remove their implants because the their butt will sag.  Eventually, the thin phase will be back in and we all will be hitting the gym like crazy to work those asses off again.  But, is this phase any better than the "thin is in phase"? Women are still going to extremes so the phase is just as bad. Music and the media depict what we should look like and it leaves a strong impression on women and our youth. Music and the media say we should have big butts and big boobs if we are going to be attractive or sexually desirable.  Men don't seem to have the same standards as women.  For men, it's more about fashion, cologne or jewelry.  Maybe that's because men are the ones who set the standards. That's why for years, women are running to get plastic surgery and the men are running to the stores to buy the latest running shoes and baggy pants. Then in another 5 years or so when they get tired of seeing all these big booty women, their going to want the thin women again and all the women will be running out getting more plastic surgery and starving themselves again to look like how everyone wants them to look. It's always going from one extreme to the next. Just as the Vogue model look was a phase. The big booty and big boobs will phase out too. Why can't men and the media accept women for who they are? Why are they the ones who set the standards for how they think we should look? Yes, women are partially to blame. We are the ones running out doing all this crazy stuff just to be desirable to men. But, we don't want to be the ones standing there with the small but next to woman with a big booty, knowing our man is looking at her ass wishing we had one like hers.  In the end, the women never win. Now, they want us to have a thin waist, big booty, big thighs and the big boobs. Damn... aren't they asking a lot from us?
