MSNBC - Christian rock spreads election-year gospel
Sweet Jesus! What has the world come to? What is with these people trying to spread the good word? All the preaching I think is against the primary concept of god. My perception is that God is Omnipotent; hence if he wants us to learn about something he does not need jeans clad musicians to spread his word. More over these people have to be thinking twice about using Jesus to spread the message "Go out and vote!". The bible talks about the kingdom of God and that is not promoting democracy, it is basically a monarchy. I think we in general over hype Democracy because masses are not as smart we think they are. Infect the majority of us are basically concerned about getting a decent paycheck and getting some. So we don't really care who is up there and now-a-days the choices available are so bad, it does not matter who we pick. So basically it is just like having a king, we have a bad king we take shit and good ones can make our lives better. Now monarchy has been time tested while democracy is just 300 years old and it hasn't done outstandingly well either. I'm not against democracy but all I'm asking of you readers is "please think", don't let people tell what the word of god is because we were made in god's own image and we can think like him; Think and act smart.
Peace

BBC NEWS World Africa S Africans 'armed to the hilt'
What the f**k is the problem with people now-a-days. I'm sick of this macho shit, 5'3" beer bellied, bespectacled, half bald accountants driving pick up trucks or buying guns to look macho. As Chris Tucker says "It's not guns that kill people it is stupid motherf**kers that do" and I think this statement holds a lot of truth. I think the general public of a country should have faith in the Police system and the army. I'm not discouraging buying guns for hunting etc.. but don't let the public buy weapons for what they call self defense. I'm sure there were situations where guns have helped save lives but the cons outrageously outweigh the pros. South Africa has racial problems, lots of gold mines and the british; so what do we have to add to the equation, well I don't know GUNS!!!!. Come on a minor outburst can lead to a violent outbreak and dumb f**ks with guns will definitely help the situation. At work there we had a guy who had bought 3 guns right at the start of the Iraqi war. So I asked him why and he replies "Well if any of the Taliban comes to my house I will blow their heads off". I was amazed by this guy's IQ and was scared the next instant. I tried to reason with him saying that "well if the Taliban (in the first place are not from Iraq) manage to beat the American Navy, Air force (with all those bombers), the army and above all the marines - you think you can use your $300 gun to kill them? You must be dreaming". Well my logic failed to have any impact on him but the discussion had a tremendous impact on me. Till then I thought guns were cool to have but then on changed my mind. I think the government should make it a point to test the person's IQ level before selling him or her a gun.

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Iraq group 'seizes Japan citizen'
There is so much violence in the world that sometimes I tend to think that we humans cannot get along but a very strange incident changed my mind. I'm not the kind of a guy who reads heroic stories of kids making it big or winning a race and gets inspired. I believe in the concept of Karma but experienced it today. A few days ago I was driving back home from work during rush hour and I had to hit the brakes because of the traffic in front of me. The person driving behind me rear-ended my car and I pulled over to check the damage. There was a scratch on my rear fender but for some unfathomable reason I looked the driver, smiled and said it was okay. The girl (the driver) was amazed when I made this comment. Today I was running a little late and the parking at my work place is horrendous. I saw a parking spot but a car was next to it getting ready to park. All of a sudden the accident chick pops out waves me over insists that I take the spot. It was a life saver and I guess that is Karma. I'm not a saint but I can safely say that I have never screwed a person on purpose. I guess that's actually more than enough to make this world a much better place to live in (well skimpier outfits on women and cheaper would definitely help too).

Forbes.com: Most Expensive Homes In America 2004
I'm very sure that all you have had been told in your childhood that be righteous and you will be successful in life blah blah etc. Now greed is a bad thing but having money is not bad a lot of people have this misconception that money is bad. Hey money is paper; it is the person that is bad. Well I have always felt that I haven't had an incentive to be rightful in my life, I mean the little guy with horns, on my shoulder had an overwhelming impact on my actions. As a true American I have decided to shift the blame of my non-righteousness (if that is a word) on to somebody else. This time it is the society. I have come with an innovative idea, how about we trash the concept of money and it power to purchase and come up with a goodness point system. This system would work exactly like money but you are awarded points instead of cash but you accumulate these points based on you being good. This would prompt people to be nicer and I would be dirt poor (well the present system isn't working for me either). This is a rough idea and not paying attention to the finer details wouldn't it justify our society and religions. I mean the good guys would actually be rich. If you think this is a stupid idea that’s okay but you atleast should give it a little bit of consideration, if you cannot get yourself to do that you should talk to my Jamaican neighbor (I'm sure you would definitely like the idea then, oh yeah and watch Harold and Kumar go to white castle, it is so funny).
