Another Liar for Darwin

Took down the last one and reworked it. Sorry for the inconvenience. At least, it's short. People are so consumed by hate, they're stupidified. Motto: "Where people mercifully free of the ravages of thought gather for support and group hugs". First, I want you to see this annotated bit (click to enlarge) from the creationist-hating group at the British Centre for Scientism and Evolutionism: Now, a screen shot of the actual post that was disingenuously, incompletely cited : Once again, I must remind my friends, acquaintances, agents and associates that I don't want to know about this stuff. Even though I did like showing their lack of fact checking and outright dishonesty.

Free Royalty Free Music

And now for something completely different. While researching material on background music for videos, podcasts and whatnot, my edjamacation has increased dramatically. Sure, you can get "royalty free" music. But you still have to pay for it; the only thing free is that you don't have to pay royalties. There are several sites that have this kind of music available. The people at " Partners in Rhyme " have some good material. If you want to avoid getting into legal trouble (or having YouTube mistakenly identify music you've uploaded as belonging to someone else, which has happened to me), get the royalty free stuff that you can run with to your heart's content. They also have some free samples, as well as sound effects. Don't be misled, they are not indicative of the material that you can buy (I almost wanted to start a podcast to tack onto the music!), but there are some gems here that can be pretty good for special projects.

Takin' Care of Cheapness

This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it! — Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack" I tried to tell people before, but did they listen? Noooooooo! What is it, really? morgueFile/MaxStraeten So I'll say it again, and appeal to the wallet instead of ethics: This is not the kind of economy for businesses to be cheap! There are reports of horse meat in various products [ 1 , 2 ] ("contanimated" is such a strong word...it's just not what people paid for) and speculation that the merchants are cutting corners. "Generic" or "store brand" items thaqt were formerly comparable (and sometimes superior) to their name-brand counterparts are getting less desirable ; t he name-brand products are often reducing quality themselves. Customer service? In many cases, fuggedaboudit! Little to no help. You have to learn how to work that gadget yourself. Restaurants that water down the soup? How cheap can you get?

Terms of Service — Are They Enforced?

When Facebook allows Pages and groups whose names are unfit to mention in front of children and sensible ladies, when they allow atheopath hate speech, when they allow libel, when they allow threats of violence, when they allow all sorts of infractions that violate their "Terms of Service", and do not enforce them, what good are they? The message they send is the Satanic, "Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". This was reported, and they said it was not a violation! I have reported several posts, pictures and so on that any sensible person would clearly see that the contents violate the ToS of Facebook. Big deal. Perhaps it's because of the atheistic leanings of Facebook, but obscene anti-Christian materials are left alone. This lack of activity from FB gives me the go-ahead for some truth-telling pages about wicked atheopaths, then. They won't care about the screenshots, will they? On the other hand, Wordpress may not be a company to
