Thumbs down Truth Is No More

Truth is no longer important!

Gossip and Propaganda are the NEW Truth.

News & Facts have been replaced by Entertainment & Public Opinion Polls.

People do not debate, because they have not been taught to think or rationalize or use common sence.

Jane said that Tom said that Sue said that Jack says Brian is a hater.
Brain looses his job because of the gossip, which breaks up his marrage, his kids are hooked on drugs and become mental cases, his wife moves in with her mom and dad and causes them to get in a fight and split up. AND JACK GETS PROMOTED TO BRIANS JOB. JACK THEN RUNS THE COMPANY OUT OF BUSINESS. The butterfly effect of present day "Rome" America.

Hmmmm.....!

ok, here's a peeve that just drives me nuts! and i've been seeing it a lot lately. when i see someone in a movie or telly series where someone is having a seizure and ppl put things in their mouth IE: wallet, etc. to prevent them from "swallowing their toungue". that doesn't happen. and\or they hold them down. that is not how you treat someone who is having a seizure. who the L is the tech advisor on those shows.

you roll the person on their left side, put a coat or something soft under their head. keep their air passage open. some ppl can hear what's going on whilst in seizure. so talking to them and reassuring them is a good thing to do. so that's my gripe for the day.

I know one thing I don't like-all the taxes and surcharges on my monthly phone bill! It comes out to twelve dollars, and change. Ridiculous!..thus driving my bill up to 77.00....Washington or the state at work....hurrah.

People that drive slow in the passing lane...then refuse to pull over when you get behind them.

Also the cops who sit on their fat asses shooting radar and won't write tickets for cruising in the left lane.

Actors whose role calls for them to cry or sob. but show no tears whatsoever.

TV actors who are killed and appear to be dead while their eyes are wide open. I don't know, but I don't think everyone dies with their eyes open. I think it may be done for effect.

I posed this question on Google and the answers from various responders were that some people die with their eyes open and some don't. I watched my parents and an aunt die in front of me and their eyes were closed.

Another responder also claimed that everyone at death also defecates and urinates. Really? Maybe in a violent death that seems plausible, but otherwise, I'm not sure about that.
