NP Rank:
Some one put me in my place - Yep! I am an interfering nobody
I some times send comedy related emails, concerning the British way of life or British related problems and receive a few comedy emails back from my British friends. Now as in the USA and elsewhere in the world depression is on a high peek. people are frighten to lose their jobs or there house and of course the worst is long term relationships can be torn asunder, because of the stress and the worries over money.
But here I am, very worried about others and the problem of the meltdown has effected me only a little, my only worry really is, that my country goes bankrupt and cant afford to pay my military pensions. At present my problems lay with a decreased currency rate problem, that if any thing has only culled the amount I can save, or, use to help people here in the Philippines to get a good education.
However the following email made me not only smile and laugh, it brought instant reality to the fact: My intent to put sanity of logic thinking, of the need to stop hype, non positive thinking, concerning the fear seen on the internet. Of those citizen journalist and the people, that constantly show their worries and fears daily.
Really is pointless, as I have no power to change the world, or, too change many opinions, who do I really think I am?
The email, please enjoy....
We are in DEEP trouble...
The population of this country is approximately 60 million.
32 million are retired.
That leaves 28 million to do the work.
There are 17 million in school or at Universities.
Which leaves 11 million to do the work.
Of this there are 8 million employed by the UK government.
Leaving 3 million to do the work.
1.2 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden, and fighting in Afghanistan , etc .
Which leaves 1.8 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 0.8 million people who work for Local County Councils.
And that leaves 1 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 488,000 people in hospitals or claiming Invalidity Benefit.
Leaving 512,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 511,998 people in prisons. T
hat leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me. And there you are,
Sitting on your arse, At your computer, reading jokes.
Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess and that I am stressed out through trying to cope on my own?

Yes Babel, you got a good point that many do forget. Your health is yr capital that nobody else can take away from you as long you watch what yr are eating and keep moving around. You and me the only two left to do the work, are not able to change opinion or moral. Freedom of heart is the best to stay sound.

Every day you learn something until you die. That's making life interesting. Never forget that you have been on earth to contribute something. Never leave earth before yr contribution is completed. That's my philosophy and as I learned it from others apparently many more are on this line of positive thinking. Nevertheless never forget yr duty why you have been put on Earth. At least you contribute more than the mass of people they have not learned to think and have no clue why they are on earth.
Do realize that unfortunately those are the majority amongst us. Don't waste your valuable time and energy on these nuts. Keep smiling and try to meet people with content, as apparently you meet here! Thank God.

Please share my pain when you laugh, cry and show that sad smile. lol
Well its another sunny day here, just had my coffee and nearly choke when I see the Pound go down in value to the Filipino Peso. Who the hell started the meltdown hype to cause that problem yesterday. Well at least I have my health and my hair is not falling out that much and its bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Life is not that bad, at least here in the tropics far away from the rat race and those damn rats in politics.
Now hows your day, hey don't spoil my day with doom and gloom, just let me know the good things.
My true love to day said she had a dream about a vocano erupting, you think you got problems. That could be earth shattering, I am hoping and praying her dream does not come true as it will spoil my plans for today, lol

Yes but my problem is.
Everybody wants peace, but not with each other
So I have tell them what peace really is, its a hard task that I am prepared to hammer away, drive a nail or two home, crack a few nuts with a sledge hammer of truth.
However I enjoy my life and the way I live it. If I get fed up with one place I just move to another. It a shame you spend your life learning by mistakes, gathering knowledge when you get damn near at getting wise you die. Only a few take in the knowledge you pass on and they get pretty near at being wise, and they die too.
So why you do all this learning to be wise, its best to be happy with what you do, as you would be wasting you time and your life doing it. So I learn to be happy.
Being a waste of space does not appeal to me and my health is only the part of the capital that is me, the other half is the ability to have the freedom of thought and the ability to remember. If I lost half ,I prefer it was my health as I wish to die thinking.
Strange rantings from this madman and will only make sense if your crazy as me. lol

Yep it can be infectious, so don't go out in the street smiling and giggling as someone may lock you away.
Saying that: Just imaging looking happy on Wall Street, some people would think your mad and others would get out the rotten eggs or throw shoes at you for pinching their money, lol

Some times people laugh at an opinion and some times opinions are a laugh. pressing peoples buttons is much more interesting as you normally get an opinion anyway.

The Cartoon that I drew WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A JOKE but descriptive of the DESTRUCTION that is occuring and funded by taxpayers.

Sounds familiar. Increase the numbers and you got a pic of USA.

What cartoon am I getting absent minded professor?
Oh its part of crowd power, I can't see the pictures at the moment as I have a problem with the new upgrade of Firefox. I used IE to upload pictures and video.
There is a lot of serious in my humor and your picture is valued as it shows the present problem the cause of the need to take away that depressed feeling (I am lost and still losing money due to the meltdown). We need humor.
No disrespect is taken of your cartoon or your view of which I also share.

Mix up the numbers and you can prove about anything other than I am a completely sane.
The reason I choose the number crunching joke is because I am seeing many number crunching examples else where on the internet. Some are so obviously political propaganda that they are comical in their assumptions or methods to promote fear.
This coming week its my plan to write articles that have a positive approach showing up the glimmers of a rallies showing a glimmer at the end of this recessions tunnel. Humor of course to bring those smiles back.

Putting Jokes a side....we need reality to fix the problem Bob...that means we need to start from the beginning....once we face this and get it right....I think we will have real humor to celebrate in the world....instead of wishful laughs...
Historical books will document that America began by fighting against an unruly English Empire, and that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />North America was a new frontier, never occupied by civilization. Indeed the USA did occupy the civilization of Native American Indian Lands. The United States in its colonial time in the early 1700’s was in cohabitation with France. France claimed they owned the majority of the mid-western part of America. It was another conquest by Napoleon Bonaparte. France took the land from Spain. France was another imperialist in taking Native American Indian Lands. In 1803 France sold this land to America. In fact France saved the Americans by supporting the extermination of Native American Indian tribes. America would not be America today without France. France has contributed to the advancement of American hypocrisy. The land they controlled stretched from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains. In 1803 America paid France 15 million dollars. This brings to mind that indeed America was purchasing stolen property. This was called the Louisiana Purchase. Americans will say they recognize the civil rights of the Native Americans today. In fact they make regular monthly payments to Tribal Nations that still live on Indian Reservations, throughout America. To suggest this is legitimate and to keep these prison lands called reservations in America; is proof that it is nothing but hypocrisy and an establishment; that reveres murder and takes over true American lives and livelihood. These areas today are charter confinement zones infected with drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, and gangs running gambling casinos. Many historians point to the conquest as a taming of the west. They being Americans themselves; use subtle nuances of describing historical events that support their position as being relevant and justified in seeking early American freedom. The early pioneers are described as explorers, or missionaries bringing the word of God to the savages of the world. They of course were teaching them from English, Spanish, and French values. In reality they only wanted to control the land for trade, and establish their own form of living standards while simultaneously killing and murdering in the process. The conquest was in search of gold and precious metals, land, forests and building the railroad. They took without thought of who was the owner. Their word of God was their belief system and operation of survival. They were pursuing religious freedom to believe as they saw fit. Many other cultures have their own value system about God, and indeed they all are different. The question is why force is used to force other cultures to believe another cultures God? The question is why force was used to kill American Indians? Why the campaign on an ideal of developing a nation, is to take it away from another culture? If American pioneers were really legitimate they would not have invaded early America. They would have developed the value to all human life and sought out the reality to true legitimacy of a national establishment. How can a country become established legitimately by conquering other people’s homes and homeland? They can’t justify their actions. They simply say it is a free world and this is a free land so let’s take it. Indeed America is an example of imperialistic nationalism. It’s a real cancer to modern society. The establishment was and is today, nothing but gunpowder and canons. The United States is always speaking of civil rights and human dignity for people yet today in the year 2009, they support no liberty for the Native American Indians. In order to correct this injustice a New Constitution needs to be written, that includes the Native American Indians, and disenfranchised Black Americans. This constitution will dissolve the present day Reservations and efforts will be made to restore original homelands to the tribes. Efforts will also be made to compensate Americans who have been living on Native American soil because of the lie told as truth from the American government. Indeed there will be disagreement and discussions in resolving issues peacefully. But in order to make our country great we need to allow the New Constitution to come forth. We need to maintain our transportation networks, and work together on farming land rights. Indeed it should happen to make America a real and conjoined Government, instead of a conquering marauding, tuck them into their Reservation regime. Of course reestablishing agreements with payments for the rest of their lives is also a viable option. The American flag should be changed because it only symbolizes the authority to conquer and conquest. If there was to be some sort of recognition toward putting things back closer toward real justice it would have the Native American Indian insignia transcribed onto the flag as a reminder of the truth to American heritage. This is Native American Country. A flag that does not represent the real identity of the people is not a flag of the people. Ever think if the Flag really truly represented the people, there would be no need or law to forbid it from being burned? It is inconceivable to think I can buy land in America from a seller who has no valid claim to ownership. The claim is invalid even when backed up by the United States Federal Government. The lands were all conquered and taken. Why would any person accept buying into such a conspiracy of theft in history? If you think this thought is off base try looking at it from the Mortgage Crisis that has hit the US at the end of 2007. Ever wonder what the real issues this is about? The thought if I bought it from an American Indian at least it would be authentic is essentially false. The realization of the land being controlled by present day United States Laws prevents coherent origins and roots to a continued obligation of trust and authenticity toward future generations. Americans can’t buy land from Indians because the land on the reservations; were not the original lands of the tribes chosen home. And really all land belongs to the public with property subject toward private leases. Rev. Jermano....
