Funny FB post I found... Thanks TJ

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination .... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination? 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your adoring fan, James M Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia (It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian)

About the Ocupy Wall Street protest

OK what's the point people really? Some comments run very true on both sides, there are no jobs for graduates and accountability needs to be seen. But on the real, how did you graduates pay for college? Pell Grants (ie govt money), Student Loans (ie bank money). How about the major fact, why were you in college in the first place? Oh yeah the economy fell out and there were no jobs years ago! If you cant get a job create a market for the job, meaning START YOUR OWN BUSINESS and contribute, this creates jobs! For you and all your friends. Guess what else will be gone if the banks are gone... Welfare! Thats right, what will all you handout recieving people do then? I am willing to bet that most of you protestors are recieving some kind of govt assistance.

For the real, maybe you should have chosen a better major in college than what you did, I mean basket weaving does not make a marketable trade. If you really want corporate America to bring jobs here than buy products that are only manufactured and packaged in the USA. Its not hard people, if you start doing that I bet companies that are profit driven will begin to make goods here again.

September 11th Memories

I can remember the day 10 years ago like it was yesterday, it was a hard sight to witness as I was still a little groggy heading to work and checking the TV for a little weather. When the TV came on and saw the attacks that have been occurring, I was at a loss of words.
I am happy to see the show of emotion by my fellow countrymen, it shows that most have not forgotten the attacks on America in 2001. Lets keep this Patriotism going, love and peace to all my fellow countrymen...
