Person, City, & The Country

I think that as a person has a body, a consience etc. the cities and countries have similar.

I read an article in the Science website ( http://www.world-science.net/othernews/090905_cities-brains ), and it explains the brain part of it. Man am I over the moon.

It is like, I get a certain muse which says that such and such, but I have no way of proving it. But when some boffins somewhere do some experimenting and get the logic right, and publish it for me to read then I am very happy. Am I alone?

Attila The Hun and Osama bin Laden

I wonder whether Attila The Hun and Osama bin Laden will be treated in the same way in future history, when future kids learn about Christianity. Yo hopefully I will be there as an old shite in a corner in a pub saying, "What is Christianity?".

Earth's Rotation And The Funny Side Of Moon

According to Newton's Laws of gravity; gravity is stronger near the object. So the Earth exerts more gravity on your feet by a factor of one ten thousandths of one percent. Wonder that is why I get headaches for no reason at all!

Even though the Sun is bigger than the Moon the Sun's gravity is half as much as the Moon's. Moon's gravity causes something called a tidal force on the waters of the Earth. Of course you knew that!

But did you know that, as the solid Earth continues to rotate, the continental shelves are constantly trying to push forward the 1.5 quintillion tons of bulging ocean water.' Amazing init?

So this oceanic bulge is found always slightly ahead of the Moon's location in its daily orbit. Between the continental shelves and shores, and the sloshing oceanic water, there is an enormous amount of friction, which is a higher rate than the rate of consumption of electrical energy by all quarter billion residents of the United States.

This makes the Earth's rotation slower by 1/500 of a second per day. So our day increases by a 1/500 second per day. But how come my days are getting shorter as I grow older?? In December 1970 it went up by a second.

OK how the hell do we know this? The total Solar eclipses can be predicted for centuries. So centuries ago some boffin recorded area where it happened. Then a today's boffin calculated the area where it is supposed to happen and found out it was slightly west to the real one. The earliest recorded Solar Eclipse had a difference of thousand miles.

At the same time the Moon is going further away from the Earth. The gravity bulge of the Earth's oceans slightly in front of the movement of the Moon makes it move slightly further away. For an example, when you rock your feet on a swing it moves further and further away from the vertical. How do we know this?

When the Apollo 11 went to the Moon the Astronauts left a curved mirror on the surface of the Moon directed to the Earth. Since then everday a boffin in, McDonald Observatory Laser Ranging Station in west Texas, sent high powered lasers to this mirror. Then they catch the reflection and measure the time taken for the laser beam to go to the Moon and back to a very high accuracy. Then by the knowledge of the speed of light they calculate the distance. The Moon is spiralling away from the Earth at the rate about 2 inches per year! In trillion years the Earth day will be eaqual to exactly one lunar month, and the there will be 1000 hours in a Earth day.

Tazars

In twenty years time we will be very seriously disturbed that we used Tazars against our own people. Checkout the fatalities. Not of people like you or me but others who are not that robust. I, a past robust person, will be one of them in the very near future. So would you.

Occupation By Aliens

I have been watching this program on the beeb called, "Who do you think you are?". The girl who comes in there called Kate Kimble, quite a personality and well known by the people who watch TV.

She found a lot about her past because there were a lot of written documents about her past ancestry.

I think about the places in the rest of the world, where we Uk people go and occupy and destroy there past. How do those people in the said parts of the world. ever make a program called "Who do you think I am?"

Subduing Insurgency Made Simple

Say UK want to change the Afghanistan's way of politics for some reason e.g. Oil. UK military will have to get into Afghanistan for a Internationally recognised, program, e.g. Osama bin Laden.

Then keep certain amount of military presence in the country until UK understands who is who in the country, while destabilising the country to its knees.

Let the insurgency rice up in the country, until the chaos is recognised by the UK population and the International community accepts it at least 40%.

Now attack, get enough troops on the ground, do not feel anything about how many soldiers are killed. The cost prevails the gains, and anyway they are not your kids.

Now get the insurgents on the back foot and get them to negotiate. During negotiations get to know the hierarchy of the insurgency, and get undercover people of your own into the general area.

Now kill the top people of the insurgency who do not agree with UK agenda, and enrich the people who agree with UK agenda.

Then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your hard work, sorry hard work of others.

War Simplified

First think about who pays for the war, eg. Iraq War? Tax payer.

Then who is getting paid by the money tax payer pays? Bank.

So whose interest is paramount in creating a war? Bank.

Multiple Suicide Bomber gets captured

This is incredible! Read it and you can see?

Freed From Gitmo—to Kill in Iraq
Posted May 8, 08 3:29 AM CDT in Crime & Courts, US | Share Newser
(Newser Summary) – One of the suicide bombers responsible for a series of attacks in the Iraqi city of Mosul last month is a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay, reports the New York Times. The Kuwaiti, originally detained in Afghanistan, is said to have traveled to Iraq via Syria to join jihadists after his release in 2005. Several Gitmo detainees are known to have returned to insurgent status, officials say.

Well?

I am a selfish person.

I just listen to 10 o clock news and heard that every tax payer will have to pay 26,000 quid a year for our own old age.

Few years back as a voluntary member of Bristol's Citizen's Panel, I had an invitation for a survey. No subject. But I knew the blind minister was supposed to come around for an audience with us.

The survey was about Pensions. I still got the file in the drawer. So I will have to get back... tomoro#.

Cold Case

I am a selfish person.

I watched Cold Case...Out of boredom and pretty nice stonedom. And it was good until I started criticising it. There was a scene of two bodies of a woman and a man, dumped. Next scene was the coppers going to this place where the road workers have dug up 30 years later. The problem I had was; the two bodies wre dumped, with the girl on her back with her clothes pretty and nice, with her make up all nice, but whan they were dug up they were in body bags, the white plastic jobbies they use now adays. 30 years ago they had brown bags I thought. Anyway to sum up don't you ever criticise a film while you are watching it. Doing it after is anther fact of life.

And the adverticement after was, "Benefit thiefs beware.I am watching you". Shit man: the very first time you sign on, according to the bloody gov, you are committing fraud. That was what I felt when I did sign. I feel the same today.

Another One Bites The Dust

I am a selfish person.

It was a long long time before time. I was in a pub in Easton, Bristol and came up to the barl for more, from the garden side. There was a couple of bar flies, who didn't notice my presence. The woman said to the man, "I am pissed off with the future king's mum fucking a fucking paki." Innocent as I am I didn't understand what that was all about at that time and didn't give a thought about it until the bar man came up to me and the bar flies noticed me. See I am kind of paki looking guy with dreads coming up to me arse. Both looked guiltily surprised to see me. Nodded to them and got me drinks and got back.

Few weeks later Diana the next kings wife died in a car crash. It took me a fair few weeks to get what that bar conversation was about. Its incredible when you sit back and wonder what was that about.

Few months later I was in the same pub and I was in the main room as it was getting towards winter. There still were lots of Diana's photos behind the bar. The bar flies were there too. I just wondered what their thoughts were at that time. I wish I was a fly on the wall.

English Only

I am a selfish person.

http://www.alternet.org/bloggers/http://www.thinkprogress.org//140814/

On Saturday, Pat Buchanan hosted a conference to discuss how Republicans can regain a majority in America. During one discussion, panelists suggested supporting English-only initiatives as a prime way of attracting "working class white Democrats." The discussion ridiculed Judge Sotomayor for the fact that she studied children’s classics to improve her grammar while attending college. The panelists also suggested that, without English as the official language, President Obama would force Americans to speak Spanish.



One salient feature of the event was the banner hanging over the English-only advocates. The word conference was spelled “Conferenece.” View it below:

I am a selfish person.

THere is this man called Mr Eddie in UK who is an alcoholic.He gets drunk and cause minor offences, like go to Sainsburies and piss on the magazine stand and try to nick a christmas tree. Then the police arrest him and then next day they take him to the good old magistrates. He gets fined a small amount, but as he has already spent a day in custody, and due to his medical condition as an alcoholic, he is set free. He has a record as to be arrested and locked up, in the local nick. And the coppers has named one of the cells "Eddie". Culture mate culture.

What It's Like to be Black In America

I am a selfish person.

I hope this does not happen in good old blighty. I sometimes worry as the credit crunch bites deeper and all the political parties are in disarray, with bagful of tax payer's money in their pockets. The Fat Fucking Bastards. The EU election results will tell us more. I was homeless a few times myself.

Yellow Laces

On April 18, 1992, the ATF Birmingham Field Office received a call from the Birmingham Police Department. Just before 4 a.m. that morning, a Birmingham police officer on patrol had responded to an apparent fatal industrial accident.

At the scene, the officer saw that a railroad train had run over a man, whose left foot was severed. But the officer also observed a trail of blood leading from the man's bedroll beneath a bridge, where homeless people often slept, to his body some 20 feet away. The man's face was cut and he had a stab wound in his chest. The victim was black.

Meanwhile, about 20 minutes earlier, two officers patrolling the nearly empty streets had seen someone throw an object through the passenger side window of a blue Chevy Malibu not far from the railroad tracks. They stopped to retrieve what turned out to be a 12-inch hunting knife. It was dripping with blood.

The occupants of the vehicle included three young men who were members of Riccio's skinhead network.

Four months earlier, on Christmas Eve, another homeless man was beaten to death beneath the same bridge. Yet another was found unconscious on the road below. It appeared that he'd jumped from the overpass to escape the same fate.

The violence continued. On April 16, 1992, just two days before the victim with the severed foot was discovered, a group of homeless black men were sleeping beneath the bridge when several young white men drove up in a red truck. One of them stabbed a man in the back. He spent a week recovering in a hospital.

The spate of violence sharpened the focus of McEntire's investigation. It also prompted him to enlist the help of Dave Behrend, a six-foot-two, 245-pound ATF agent who assumed the role of bodyguard for the leader of the White Reich.

During McEntire and Behrend's first visit to Riccio's after the discovery of the severed-foot murder victim, the atmosphere was unusually subdued. They noticed two skinheads slip outside. They were Louis Oddo, a hulking thug, and Adam Galleon, a skinny kid who sported a white supremacist tattoo on his head. The two undercover agents watched them whisper together intently. Neither Oddo nor Galleon had been in the car when the four skinheads were arrested on April 18. The two agents glanced at one another. They were both thinking the same thing: the whispering skinheads were involved in the murders and attacks.

At a Birmingham-area rally several weeks later, Behrend overheard another skinhead exclaim, "You ain't shit until you earn your yellow shoelaces."

Some skinheads wear yellow laces in their combat boots to signal that they've killed someone. McEntire remembers thinking the skinheads were murdering homeless men "for a damned pair of yellow shoelaces."

Pope And Israel

I am a selfish person.

Bethlehem – Ma’an – Despite the diplomatic immunity that Pope Benedict XVI enjoys throughout the world, Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport security officials insisted on inspecting all the pontiff’s luggage when he left the Holy Land last Friday, according to the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv.

According to Ma’ariv’s report, which appeared on Tuesday, the pope’s attendants were asked to put all the gifts he received during his weeklong visit through an X-ray machine. The aides were also questioned at the airport.

Ma’ariv said the pope’s entourage at first refused the search, causing an argument that threatened to snowball into a diplomatic crisis. But after long discussions and the intervention of high-level officials, the pope’s attendants agreed to have their luggage checked in the X-ray machine.

Security officers noticed the pope’s personal physician carrying a bag with a cooler, and after inspection they found it contained four containers of blood of the pope’s blood type kept in case of emergency.

"We are responsible for the safety of millions of passengers who use the airport every year, and we receive official directives on how to do our job," Israeli airport authorities commented on the incident.

This shows how the Israel treat everyone, EQUAL, init?

Soldiers Tale

I am a selfish person.

“I came over here because I wanted to kill people…I mean, I thought killing somebody would be this life-changing experience. And then I did it…I mean, you kill somebody and it's like 'All right, let's go get some pizza.'…I just want to go home alive. I don't give a [expletive] about the whole Iraq thing. I don't care….See, this war is different from all the ones that our fathers and grandfathers fought. Those wars were for something. This war is for nothing."

Bad apple?

Perfection Comes At A Cost The Boffins Say

I am a selfish person.

I am poor dull and take it as it comes. One of the top optimists in and around me. If I go to the station and find the last train is already gone, I think it might me late and hang around the empty platform for hours. I thought I was a lost case in humanity. And I read this:

Perfectionists — that is, those who expressed "a strong motivation to be perfect" and revealed a tendency toward "all or nothing thinking" — were approximately 51 percent more likely to have died during the life of the study than those with more reasonable self-expectations. Those who were rated high on neuroticism — for instance, those who reported often feeling tense — did even worse: Their risk of death nearly doubled compared with those with a more relaxed disposition.

In contrast, "risk of death was significantly lower for high scorers in conscientiousness, extraversion and optimism," reports lead author Prem S. Fry, a research psychologist at British Columbia's Trinity Western University. She notes that previous research has found that "perfectionism exerts a great deal of stress on health," while optimism "is viewed as a stress-alleviating factor."

Gurkhas Of UK

I am a selfish person.

I heard this morning that the UK gov has overturned the decision about the Gurkhas to live in UK. I cried with tears running down my cheeks without feeling ashamed as a man. "Boys Don't Cry" a stupid person said and I don't believe in that. I cry for anything which moves me and I am happy that I am human with emotions. Does it mean I am not English with the famous 'stiff upper lip', I wonder. Who the hell cares?

During the training the Gurkhas were told that they have to jump out of a plane at 20,000 feet. They talked amongst themselves and a spokesman came up with an argument that, they will not mind jumping at 10,000 feet instead of 20,000; until he heard that they all going to jump with parachutes.
