Freedom of Speech does not give people the right to deny other's freedom of speech, nor the right to say or write just anything they want without the accompanying consequences.
If there was a law against bearing false witness, there'd be alot of missing democrats, and CNN and MSNBC would no longer exist.
Oh wait, there is a law against bearing false witness. Believe it or not, those laws are enforced, just as the laws of physics are, whether people realize and see it, or not.
In this society, if someone say's just one thing out of place, the media and even the public hound them out of office, even if it was an honest mistake or misunderstood or done years, even decades prior.
Instead of defending truth and showing mercy, they attack like animals even when facts aren't even in evidence.
It's as if at times, the media and the public degenerate into a pack of wild hungry dogs, instead of retaining the qualities of justice and mercy this country was founded on.
If it's truth, or even if it's just an opinion, boring doesn't make it bad.
Then again, when I'm not 'boring', people take offense probably because of the manner in which I present the facts, and hopefully NOT because of the facts themselves.
The media and the entertainment industry in general have a problem with artificially hyping stupidity and the inane and even manufacturing news simply to generate readership, which presumably leads to more profits.
This article, and oddly enough, the commercial in question just prove the point.
Unfortunately for Kohl's, while they made a name for themselves and we all know they will be open on Friday to sell stuff, I'll be changing the channel the next time I see their commercial.
Fortunately for you, I like this website, so I guess I'll keep coming here perhaps in spite of my better judgment.
So when this guy screams fire in a crowded building, and yells obscenities and insults and takes God's name in vain (I won't bother with finding any more faults in his 'post', I think this is enough), he can just say 'he was joking'?
That's funny!
Yes, the whole diatribe was absolutely hilarious, because after all, it was directed to an evil 'corporation', and an actress.
Seems to me he was temporarily insane to be posting this for public consumption.
I have NO clue who Rebecca Black is and am becoming vaguely aware she is the main actress in the commerical in question.
I can't argue your point about her being the worst recording artist ever because I've never heard of her.
I guess I may have indirectly just supported your point.
Ha.
The commercial IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
But I prefer to 'rant' (as some unfortunately and wrongly call it, and with facts of course), against those who lie or distort the truth and I try to refrain from ranting based on personal likes or dislikes.
If your 'article' had been a reply by a guest of this website, wouldn't you be banned and your 'article' removed completely out of sight for your extremely mean-spirited, foul-mouthed, hateful RANT of a diatribe against company whose goal is to engage in a free-market economy to make profits and keep it's own, as well as other companies employees earning money for their families?
Seems to me, you've just posted a SUBJECTIVE RANT based on your dislike for a commercial, instead of based on other things, like facts.
If you were defending God, or some scientific or political facts, that would be one thing, you weren't defending anything, just attacking.
The odd thing is, I had just seen the commercial ad myself, and don't find it particularly appealing, to say the least.
You can compare what I wrote in the sentence above, with what you wrote.
Other people get banned or muzzled and their posts 'moved' for writing as you did.
And yet you have 'employees(?)' here who ban commenters for allegedly posting insulting 'rants' against those who make news with falsehoods, who perhaps should not.
So someone finds something similar to burnt carbon, i.e. coal in space, and now they think this is further evidence that stars created life. So we have elements in space, and suns which create alot of heat, and they're surprised they found something similar to coal? Really? This makes news?
Next thing you know, if you believe these dolts, the stars will be making HP laptops and Lamborghinis.
How do these morons suppose these things, let alone even more complex things like living plants, animals and human beings came about, from randomness?
It's hard to believe people can be so stupid and blind.
These idiots should go try to 'randomize' their jobs, and their homes, and not be allowed to work (let alone publish their lying stupidities) until their homes are created by 'randomness'.
I would REALLY love to see someone design a building, or a car, or a computer, by NOT designing it, but having it all come about by CHANCE, i.e. NOTHING is done by humans to design or assemble it. Point made yet?
Complex things, like biological LIFE (which human beings still do NOT understand), and especially the atom, and with it's seemingly infinite energy reserves which are NOT renewed (and which will eventually prove to be the most complex of CREATIONS), do NOT come about by chance.
Though it seems as if chance is making a fair crop of idiots who can't think logically anymore.
There is no 'rapture' in the Bible, as so many like to teach. Then again, these same lying fools think themselves like Christ and the Apostles and Prophets, are nothing like them. Christ described Teachers of the Law who were able to bring out of the storehouse, new things, as well as old.
As most people are well aware, none of these dolts who teach a rapture can be called Teachers of The Law. The Ten Most important Laws, are the most famous among Christian nations, and these fools don't even teach, let alone obey them themselves.
Ever see the new drug advertisements on T.V. where the list of all the adverse side effects is so long and extensive and so horrible it makes one wonder why anyone would ever buy or use the drug in the first place?
Ever wonder why almost all drugs have similar extremely adverse 'side-effects'?
I especially like the one where some of the side-effects cause suicidal thoughts, very bad dreams and other psychological effects which if truth be told, sound as if the person who had these effects was actually being possessed by demons. They might have well just added "if you find yourself climbing on ceilings like a spider and your head swivelling 180 degrees while you foam at the mouth and have explosive diarrhea all the while craving human flesh, you may want to contact an exorcist THEN your doctor... Ahh, but I digress...
One has to wonder if 'we' can't manufacture drugs w/o these extremely debilitating effects, if the drugs themselves are actually causing even worse things to happen, which are NOT being made public... like cancer.
It seems to me pharmaceutical companies and the medical industry have much to answer for.
Just saying...
And for those who with to argue, don't bother. You won't get any replies. You just keep on taking your prescriptions and we''ll see how long your immune system holds up, if you have any left of it. THAT is when all the fun starts.
If people think smoking causes cancer (a careful reading of the transcripts would show that this was not only never proven, lots of 'doctors' and scientists' were made to look like lying insincere dopes on the stand when their claims and 'proof' were ripped to shreds), then you REALLY wouldn't want to breath the exhaled air of many people which is full of mutated pathogens as a result of various prescription drugs and antibiotics that people take today.
Either way, do you REALLY believe that such a small temperature difference brought about such major weather changes and events during that time? Really?
How does a 1 or 3 degree change melt all the ice at the poles if the avg temp is WELL below freezing? Have the laws of physics changed, or just the jello minds of some men (and women)?
Or perhaps that 1 (or 3) degree change was a RESULT of the change(s) that DID produce the great changes in weather during that time.
It's ludicrous to believe CO2 is the cause of anything in the atmosphere. Those who do aren't thinking straight. Then again, many of those who don't, are lying on purpose, and THAT is one of the REAL reasons for all this ruckus about global cooling, err, global warming, err. 'climate change' (can't those idiots making all this stuff up make up their minds which disaster we're really headed towards?).... MONEY.
Next thing you know, these idiots are going try to outlaw water so that no clouds are produced.
So you say the earth's temperature rose by one WHOLE degree Celsius?
Really? That much?
I would have imagined that all the ice at both poles would have been melted by now as a result of such a catastrophic temperature change.
What puzzles me a bit though, is that pictures (even in movies) of the coasts of cities in Alaska and elswhere, clearly show that water levels have drastically decreased. I don't know what to make of that.
What also puzzles me is how CO2, which is required by plants to produce oxygen essential for animal and human life on earth, is suddenly a 'bad guy', when it comprises such a minute percentage (by volume and weight) of the earth's atmosphere, especially when compared to water (vapor). It seems CO2 should have next to no effect on temperatures on this planet compared to water vapor, especially since it's CLOUD COVER which can so greatly affect and lower temperature as seen by massive volcanic eruptions in the past and predictions of what would happen in any 'nuclear winter'.
Then again, just about any deceived imbecile has the opportunity to get online to attempt to mislead and deceive others with theories such as global 'climate' change.
What's the average temperature at the poles again? And what is the melting point of ice? Isn't it 0 deg C? And if the average temperature at the poles is well below 0, and we've only raised temperatures ONE WHOLE DEGREE, uh, where is that disaster again? I don't see it.
But perhaps you with your special scientific powers can show all of us... while we laugh at you.
We wouldn't be held hostage to arab oil if drilling in Alaska and the Gulf was allowed. Thanks to insane environmentalists, EVERYONE (except certain rich 'leaders' who are hypocrites and really do NOT care) have to suffer the consquences. Hey, like someone said recently, 'get used to it'.
You don't need to shake up an economy that was the strongest in the world by trying to take this country into socialism which is a proven failure. We became the strongest and richest nation in history by NOT being socialist or communist, and you don't see these as failed ideologies? If you think they're so great, move to China or Russia and have your fun and stop being a hypocrite. The Founding Father envisioned something quite a bit better than the crap you're spouting.
It was partially business AND banking that made this country rich. We're the ONLY country on earth who used it's power to NOT build empires as others have. Instead, we fought for the freedom of others, and were blessed by God because of the ideals which this country was founded on, and for which many fought and lost limbs and lives to become the Nation we are today.
If you don't like those ideals, you are MORE than welcome to leave to a country more suited to your 'tastes'. This one was doing well without imbeciles and hypocrites doing their best to turn it into a godless pagan socialistic society where people think they're entitled to the belongings and wealth of others.
It's one thing to take care of the less fortunate among us, which we do, it's quite another to make demands of others to which one is NOT entitled to. This country has given more to other peoples and countries around the world than any nation on earth, and what do we get for it? We get attacked is if by a pack of hateful dogs who don't appreciate that THEIR OWN LEADERS are responsible for caring for them, and are RESPONSIBLE for taking the VAST AMOUNTS of money we give to them, and using it for themselves.
As for entitlements, if people think they're smart enough to run Wall Street or a Financial Institution, then apply for the job. Otherwise, learn some appreciation and humility and be thankful for the blessings provided for those who live peacefully in this country as they pursue the ideals which the founding fathers enumerated in documents on which this nation is based. If not for business and banks, we would NOT have the jobs we have right now in spite of the fact there's some inexperienced 'leaders' in charge who are currently running this nation and it's economy into the ground with stimulus packages which have been proven to NOT work. It's one thing to save businesses and banks which NEED saving which DO repay their loans. It's quite another to take huge sums of taxpayer money and spend it on stupidly on programs which do NOT create REAL jobs. It's laughable that the administration now has to change their terminology using the 'jobs supported' tag because the jobs they create, are BOGUS. Only BUSINESS can create real jobs. And if you prevent business from spending money because of overtaxing and uncertainty due to stupid idiotic polices, guess what, YOU DON"T GET MORE JOBS. Any fool should be able to see that, yet, there seem to be quite a few around here, and in positions of power, that do not.
There are plenty of nations who are ALSO for the 'corporations' even though they say they are not. Look at all the 2nd and 3rd world countries. Why don't you move to one of those, or are those countries not 'rich' enough for your lifestyle? You're looking a bit like an ignorant and a hypocrite right about now, you and everyone else who believes as you do.
I don't have to babble Tea Party or Fox News talking points. I merely have to look at history and the Truth. Things you obviously care and know pitifully little about.
The Tea Party and Fox News are a bit late to the game as far as I'm concerned, but they're standing firm, and you, are not.
I don't care to reply to you or your ILK anymore, because you obviously don't have the wit to realize the truth about what is happening around the world right now, especially in this country as everything is coming crashing down upon our heads, yours and mine, because of people(?) like YOU.
I hope you enjoy it, because I certainly will not.
You and your kind are getting your wish, and I can GUARANTEE you will NOT enjoy what you are so ignorantly asking for and are about to get, in spades.
There are other reasons the iPhone is selling so fast.
Perhaps if it had a bigger screen, it might sell even more, perhaps not.
While no phone is perfect, one usually weighs all the factors before making a decision.
Personally, I would have preferred a much larger screen. As it is, I may end up going for a 4S simply because even though the screen isn't as large as I would prefer, the other features of the phone make up for it when compared against features from phones such as the Samsung Galaxy SII and the Droid Bionic.
When the Nexus Prime is released, I'll make my decision.
If the 4S had been manufactured with a 4.5 in screen, I probably wouldn't even be waiting.
While no phone is perfect, it would have been MORE 'perfect' with a larger screen, get back to me when you realize how many other people were also hoping it had a larger screen as well.
In fact, they are a bunch of losers who can't seem to think for themselves.
If they were in their right minds, they'd be at home wondering what kind of 'leaders' they've elected who engage, promote and encourage class warfare in this country in a determined attempt to divide it as they actively attempt undermine the economy with all kinds of unsound financial policies i.e. stimulus packages and carbon credits. As if all the other nations on earth are going to pay any carbon credits themselves? Please.
What do these 'leaders' think they're going to do if they ruin this economy, which they actually are close to succeeding in doing?
When leaders purposely deceive the very people they are responsible to protect and defend, they no longer deserve to be leaders, elected or not.
Last I saw, fascism, socialism and communism have failed over and over again, yet some morons in charge think they're smart enough to make these failed philosophies work this time around.
Someone complains about the price of oil, but deliberately prevents their own country from extracting it thus allowing other nations to effectively hold us hostage using as a poor excuse concern for the environment?
Words and actions mean things.
If it acts like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
If it acts like a traitor, and talks like a traitor, guess what, it IS a traitor.
We're the richest most prosperous country on earth, and a pack of imbeciles in charge think they're on the right track as they attempt to enact economies and philosophies which are already proven failures?
And what was that classic definition of insanity again?
Yeah, thing are going to work out fine... if you like riots in the streets...
After all, this administration is ACTIVELY and publicly supporting it now.
The 'American' members of that religion usually end up looking just like all the non-American members.
Frankly, since we are at war, anyone who joins sides with those who are at war with us, and makes threats of death against Americans should be branded a traitor and arrested. Those who do even more than just voice their threats, well, in another time, common sense would prevail and the person would have been dealt with.
Wow, what a joke. First the government and politically correct say no one should profile, when that is EXACTLY what should be done, and guess what, now they're going to do it, even though you don't really need a computer system to profile properly.. just a pair of Mark I eyeballs which can tell what religion someone belongs to.
You actually put a phone in your pocket? Do you have a case and screen protector on that to protect your phone and screen from scratches and damage from keys, etc, or do you dedicate a single pocket just for your phone?
So what do all the women tell you? Is that a phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Rock that phone in your pocket with nice dress slacks, and who looks ridiculous now?
News flash - Pockets were not designed for phones. Holsters and cases are.
