Drafting men over 60

2010-08-30T06:01:00.001-04:00

Drafting men over 60----this is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier-

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a..m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.

If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.

Boot camp would be easier for old guys.. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way..

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.

How about recruiting Women over 50 ....in menopause! You think Men have attitudes! Ohhhhhh my God!
If nothing else, put them on border patrol.... They'll have it secured the first night!

86 year old Senior strikes back

2010-06-02T06:56:00.002-04:00

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month..

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.

I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.

I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.

When you call me, press buttons as follows:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

#4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping

#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home

#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier .

#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7

#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

#10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call..

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client

(Remember: This was written by an 86 year old woman) 'YA JUST GOTTA LOVE ' US SENIORS' !!!!!

And remember: Don't make old ladies mad. They don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to set them off.

Kids on marrage

Kids on Marriage

A group of young children were asked about marriage...
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
- Kirsten, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
- Camille, age 10
No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
- Freddie, age 6
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
- Linette, age 8
On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
- Martin, age 10
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
- Theodore, age 8
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
- Anita, age 9
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
- Kelvin, age 8
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.
- Rick, age 10

Tweeter Breach....stop being stupid ppl

2009-07-15T12:33:00.001-04:00

What is worse then the low lifes that try to get over on people this way is the people that without thinking fall for them.
Another reason i don't follow as many tweeters like many that think having a lot makes then appear popular. I select those i want to follow.
watch their tweets for a day or so and if not a tweetaholic (tweets non stop) making popp ups on screen every second, and tweets are of interest then yes i continue to follow them.

Massive Twitter breach underscores the problem with "secret questions"

Twitter's Evan Williams certainly isn't the first famous person to have a "secret question" figured out by a hacker, but I'm always surprised when someone in IT circles falls victim to such an elementary attack.

It's not news that secret questions are a terribly bad idea for enabling password resets or protecting account information. For a question to work, the answer truly needs to be a secret. In the case of celebrities, finding an answer can be as simple as digging around their Facebook profile or fan pages.

Though ultimately, the information is contained in the documents isn't the worst of it. More alarmingly, the hacker was also able to gain access to Twitter's domain registrar and the associated Gmail account. It would have been an easy step to alter the DNS servers and plunge the Twitterverse into chaos.

Clearly, people really need to start paying attention

For those of you against the death penalty

2009-07-15T06:16:00.001-04:00

Even death is to fast for scum like this. Unless very slowly administered taking weeks if possible. And the parents that allowed it should be locked up for life. Yeah, we all know they will plead they were brainwashed. But you can't be unless you allow it to happen. Marine Corp brainwashed me to kill, kill, kill, bite their face off if need be, but you don't see me doing that. Typical followers with no mind of their own and need to be told what to do, led by the hand through life. But to turn over their daughters to an old pedophile, perverted scumbag using religion as a means of gaining his sexual perverseness goes beyond even something hitler would do.

I find it absolutely astonishing how many people are unaware or take for granted "Oh well, it was a war" attitude when confronted with the Holocaust. Like many I had heard about it but never really looked into it or studied it until recently, and ashamed now i waited. Once i began studying it and watching videos from everyplace I could get one I could not obtain enough. Netflix, youtube, frontline, google just to name a few places that occupy me now..
http://en.auschwitz.org.pl/m/ Is the main memorial where most of the horrors occurred and should never be forgotten and preserved. If in your ability please donate what you can from their page.
Also if you get a chance buy or rent I have never forgotten you. http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=10394 About a man like none I have never believed could exist with such a compassion in his heart for his entire life, since he also was a prisoner in the death camps. His name is Simon Wiesenthal and a true example of what one man can do to keep the memories alive.
Most people assume I am Jewish because of my obsession i have in the Holocaust and Auschwitz but though it matters not, i am catholic and not even a very good one at that. Myself I have no idea why I became so intrigued in this, it just happened after watching those 30 episodes of the video i also have posted on here. Even has me buying Holocaust items from ebay and collectors. Just to touch an item that came from that horrific place sends chill down my spine. My family jokes that I must have died there in a prior life to be so obsessed with it...lol But whatever it is, it is nothing i am sorry about. I feel we should all have empathy for this. It matters not what religion you are or color of your skin. I am quite sure when God made man he didn't say "well these are my favorites, these not so much, and I'll just make these for fun". We all come from one creator, and what a world we would all have if everybody just realized that.

Auschwitz Remembered

2009-03-02T13:02:00.000-05:00

Gate to Hell pic is a video, please click start button to play.

All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. It was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.

The direct reason for the establishment of the camp was the fact that mass arrests of Poles were increasing beyond the capacity of existing "local" prisons. Initially, Auschwitz was to be one more concentration camp of the type that the Nazis had been setting up since the early 1930s. It functioned in this role throughout its existence, even when, beginning in 1942, it also became the largest of the death camps.
Division of the camp

The first and oldest was the so-called "main camp," later also known as "Auschwitz I" (the number of prisoners fluctuated around 15,000, sometimes rising above 20,000), which was established on the grounds and in the buildings of prewar Polish barracks;

The second part was the Birkenau camp (which held over 90,000 prisoners in 1944), also known as "Auschwitz II" This was the largest part of the Auschwitz complex. The Nazis began building it in 1941 on the site of the village of Brzezinka, three kilometers from Oswiecim. The Polish civilian population was ere evicted and their houses confiscated and demolished. The greater part of the apparatus of mass extermination was built in Birkenau and the majority of the victims were murdered here. I take no credit whatsoever for the content in this posting. It has been copied from a memorial i donate to as much as i can and once more people get the empathy that i obtained for it wish they could help also any way they can. http://en.auschwitz.org.pl/h/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=1 My mind finds it hard to grasp how a nation could be so brainwashed as the German people were into following the madman Hitler. Even though I do understand how when your taught something by who you consider a leader (so they must know what they are talking about), you have no second thoughts about right or wrong. However no matter how much I research the subject i still fail to understand any foundation why the Jewish population was looked at as a lower class race. I myself am a Catholic and yet am mind boggled as to why ever since the days when Moses led them out of Egypt they have been so persecuted, hated and have to fight so hard to survive. My heart really goes out to them.

they cared not in the least

These are but a few from the archive I have. Unbelievable
stories of how the SS would take infants from mothers and
two of them would literally tear the child in half in front of
the parents.
And no these are not just stories made up to gather sympathy, many well documented along with stories of how most were just taken from the cattle cars straight to the furnace as wailing parents watched disbelieving what was happening. It is the children that haunt and bother me so much. Can you even imagine watching your child being murdered in front of you ?
Well so ends my very first blog. I hope it enlightens if but only a few. For as long as the memory of those that perished lives on and humanity remembers, they did not die in vain.
Thank you for spending time on by blog.
