Muttley Crude

I have never liked Motley Crue, and even in my teens, back when I was a Southern Baptist, I despised them for their shallow music and I even thought they were Devil worshippers because of their hit “Shout at the Devil” (only learning later that the apparent Satanism of some rockers is just a gimmick to express their contempt for “Christian” bigotry, a contempt I would later share after my deconversion).

So you can imagine my surprise and disgust when last year those jokers decided to come out of retirement and tour again, this several years after doing a “farewell” tour. It seems that so many don’t know the meaning of “farewell”!

Well, now they are starting to reap what they sow, the idiots. Shortly after they began touring again, lead guitarist Mick Mars, who by all accounts and appearances is the most talented member, quit in disgust after the band starting using backing tracks to fake their performances. Mars then SUED his former bandmates.

But while they seem to be faking Nikki Sixx’s bass tunes, they are using Vince Neil’s authentic vocals……unfortunately.



GET THE FUK OFF THE STAGE, YOU STUPID JERKS!

			

	
	



				
					


				
					


	

		

			False Advertising by Hebrew Christians

As a matter of ethical consistency, I believe there needs to be clear definitions of words, including in religion. Thus I was dismayed to discover on TV a show titled “Jewish Voice” that featured a “rabbi” that talked about Jesus as the Messiah, which is a basic teaching of CHRISTIANITY, not Judaism. Jews actually do NOT believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and certainly do not believe he was God incarnate, as most Christians believe!

			Mariah Carey needs to stop being a pop star.
		


				

			Posted on  by 		

			


		

		
In the 1990s, Mariah Carey was one of the greatest singers in the world, but recently it is clear that she has somehow lost nearly all her talent and can no longer sing her way though even the most basic of performances.


This video accuses her (and others) of lip syncing:




And at the New Year’s Eve celebration in New York City, that accusation was CONFIRMED in a truly embarrassing fashion.




Why do people bother to do this? In 1990, this was a SCANDAL for the duo Milli Vanilli, who won a Grammy for Best New Artist and was then stripped of it once they were exposed.




And here are more examples:






Enough! If you want to see some REAL vocal talent, just look here:




It takes truly raw talent to perform with NO backing music instruments and only your voices. Even Mariah herself has never been known to attempt that. But that is exactly what Pentatonix does every time they perform live.




Goodbye, Mariah, I am a fan of yours no more! Come back on stage when you can sing for real again!

			

	
	



				
					


	

		

			Why party labels in the USA are completely useless
		


				

			Posted on  by 		

			


		

		
Watch this video:




The anti-slavery party of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War was NOT the party of Big Business from the 1870s to the 1930s. The party that defended slavery before and during the Civil War was NOT the party that fights for the rights of blacks and other minorities today.  The Religious Right which infested the Republicans in the 1980s had almost nothing in common with the likes of Donald Trump now.


This is why we need a MULTI-PARTY system like in some European countries. The two-party system we Americans have always had is by nature misleading. The south has ALWAYS been conservative compared to the north. If the Ku Klux Klan was founded today, it would be founded by southern REPUBLICANS. Conservatism is the ideology we must always fight, no matter what party label it marches under.




For the record, it is not BIG government we should oppose, but STUPID government which is a problem no matter what its size. Did you know that Ronald Reagan, a conservative Republican, actually increased government by massive military spending….that we also never needed in the first place?! And why did Reagan do that? Because so many big businesses have had contracts with our military and profit from every war we end up fighting in! I can guarantee that if a Republican gets the Presidency in the next decade or so, then he will find an excuse, any excuse to get us into another overseas war like Bush Sr. did when he pushed us into war with Iraq in 1991. and his son did again in 2003. Consider yourselves warned!




As for illegal immigration, the rules were designed beforehand to exclude non-white people from Latin America, including Mexico. Ironic considering we conquered and annexed half of Mexico’s territory in the 1840s. “Hey, thanks for all your land, but we do not want your people! GO AWAY!!!” Meanwhile, Puerto Rico, which is majority Spanish-speaking and non-white, remains a mere possession of the USA and not a state. Go figure.

			

	
	



				
					


				
					


	

		

			Truth in Advertising: Photoshopping must be outlawed.
		


				

			Posted on  by 		

			


		

		
Photoshopping is using a special computer program that manipulates a photo to alter its appearance. Models that appear on magazine covers often have their pictures photoshopped to make them look more attractive than they really are (according to some standard of beauty held in most of the Western world, but not a universal one).






This unethical practice has been criticized for giving most girls a terrible self image by making them compare their imperfect bodies to what they see in magazines. A similar  argument has been made about Barbie dolls, with their unrealistic body proportions, but at least pictures of Barbie dolls are not photoshopped. Doing that to actual human models should be considered fraud. And fraud IS illegal, so it is not a stretch to outlaw photoshopping and require all magazines, newspapers, and news websites to only publish pictures that are not photoshopped. We should be able to see what is real, not someone’s idea of beauty that is not real!

			

	
	



				
					


	

		

			Truth in Advertising: The Staffmark and Exel screwup

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for a new job and so I responded to an ad on Craigslist:


http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/lab/3855558236.html




Want to beat the heat while working? (North Fort Worth)




Looking for energetic, sharp assemblers that build special packaging for food products to work in a logistics warehouse with opportunity to advance to team leads for second shift (6:00pm – 2:30am). The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Need to have great attendance and strong safety habits to be eligible for bonus. This is a long term assignment – 40 current openings! After verification of employment will start immediately.

 If interested, please contact Jacob Holsinger at jacob.holsinger@staffmark.com




The employment agency that put out the ad was Staffmark. I visited their office and after orientation I started work at a nearby warehouse that was owned by a company called Exel and distributed General Mills products. So I went out there and found:


1. The actual work at night schedule was 6:00 PM to FOUR AM, not 2:30 AM.


2. We were told by the Exel managers at the work site that we may be working SEVEN DAYS A WEEK for several weeks, maybe even a month!


3. Beating the heat was not an issue. In fact, the warehouse was very HOT inside and we were told to keep ourselves hydrated constantly with water bottles due to our sweating so much. That we worked at night was little help: even after sunset, summer nights in Texas are often very warm. I cannot imagine anyone working at such a warehouse in the daytime when the temperatures outside may soar to 100 degrees F for weeks!


I went back to the Staffmark people and complained about the schedule changes bitterly, feeling like I’d been lied to. But I proceeded to work at the warehouse anyway for a week.


This morning, I was awakened by a call from Staffmark:  I’d been terminated because I’d not been “agreeable” to the changes that were made to my work. Uh, right, because I remember what I see and I insist as a matter of integrity that companies KEEP THEIR WORD! No one should be working seven days a week at anything, period!


But this is what happens when you live in a “right-to-work” state where labor unions have almost no power.

			

	
	



				
					


				
					


	

		

			A case of false advertising for atheism

Take a look at this chart, a “Periodic Table of Atheists and Antitheists”:


http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bay4lTZyHTE/TgYmEIFDbbI/AAAAAAAAAEM/uk50wWHaofw/s1600/tableofatheists150.jpg




One of my basic principles is Truth in Advertising, that whenever you illustrate something or state something, that depiction or statement must be as accurate as possible. This is one of those cases in which that principle has been violated.


Carl Sagan is on the list, at the 11 position. So is Neil deGrasse Tyson, at position 3 and Charles Darwin at position 38. But all these are or were  NOT  atheists, but agnostics.  To understand the difference, just look here:


https://dalehusband.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/misdefining-terms-for-purposes-of-propaganda/


But there are striking omissions from the table. Where is Ayn Rand??? By all accounts and appearances she WAS indeed an atheist. She should have been listed among the philosophers for her founding of the Objectivist movement. Likewise, there are no leaders of the Communist movement either, not even Karl Marx!


This chart is a lie and it needs to be taken down and replaced with a more accurate one!
