Obama Born in Kenya?

Listen from :11 thru :17



Wendy and I were wondering what exactly she said, listened to it 3 times to make sure, Holy crap!
I once thought, you know, what does matter if a socialist from another country was President, only Birthers thought those things, now I think, maybe they are right.
Neil Abercrombie, the new (D) Gov. of HA can’t seem to find the documents in question, meanwhile the state AG says the documents can’t be released without permission of the document owner, i.e. Barack Obama.
If Barack had any sense of decorum he would release the documents ASAP, but he has chosen Repeatedly not to, and I’m sorry, but sends up a Red Flag,
Call me a Birther until further notice,

Facebook vs AOL

This guy is basically self destructing with his argument, bottom line,if Facebook perfected AOL's thing.then good for them,as for the sheep aspect of FB, I don't do it,
Y


Facebook is basically AOL with a different layout and all the same retro problems.

People are always baffled by the fact that I don't use Facebook. I don't care much about Facebook any more than I cared about MySpace and LiveJournal before it. In almost every way, these subsystems are too retro for my taste.

Let me explain.

The world began with online services like the Source and Compuserve. They then evolved into a myriad of BBS systems and then AOL was created. AOL became the kingpin and along came the Internet. The Internet had the versatility that no other system had—you could do whatever you wanted with it. You could start a website about your cat. You could do a storefront. You could do anything that came into your head.

A lot of people still preferred the warm and cozy confines of AOL, and it continued to exist until it was clear that its growth was over. It then zigged and zagged in all the wrong ways. I concluded that AOL should have evolved into a MySpace-like system and then into Facebook.

Facebook is actually the logical end-point of what AOL should have become. AOL had some web initiatives, such as Geocities or Hometown, which could have easily morphed into Facebook, but it didn't. It could have made the transition rather easily. I can't find anyone who argues with this premise.

If AOL had become what Facebook is now, would I use it? No, not really.

Facebook is retro because, like AOL, it's retro by its nature. It's a closed system. Some people like a closed comfy system and others don't. I, for one, don't. If I want a personal webpage with all sorts of information about myself, I'll go to Wordpress.com and make one. By doing this, I don't turn over any data, control, or information to an onerous third party to sell, use, or exploit. I can close down the site when I want. I can say what I want. I can pretty much do whatever.

If I am the least bit worried, I can use my various providers or other services to post a WordPress blog right from my own server. None of this is possible with Facebook. It wasn't possible with AOL either.

Which begs the question as to why anyone would use Facebook when it is essentially AOL done right? The fastest growing group on Facebook are people in their 70's. Oldsters are flocking to Facebook the way they once did with AOL. Facebook is a simple system for the masses that do not really care about technology and do not want to learn anything new except something easy like Facebook.

Whenever someone tells me to check out something on Facebook, I recall the heyday of AOL with its keywords. "Go to the Internet at www.blah.com or AOL keyword: blah." This was a common comment on the nightly news or in magazines. The AOL keyword is replaced by the Facebook page name.

There is no reason for anyone with any chops online to be remotely involved with Facebook, except to peruse it for lost relatives. So, next time you log on, remember it's really AOL with a different layout.

Welcome to the past.

When Comments are bigger than posts

This is in regards to the "recently" discovered UFO by the GOV

The original post is here,but the comments are,shall we say out of this world?

Maybe the spaceship that was supposedly recovered in Roswell was just a really crappy model for a spaceship. It crashed, after all. Let's say that the government then builds a model of that crappy spaceship that can successfully travel to Zeta Reticuli, or wherever. It would be akin to driving a cheap Chinese copy of a Lada or Ford Pinto up to a posh resort where the valet routinely guides Lambourghinis, Aston-Martins, and Bentleys to the designated access areas. Humans would be the laughingstock of the interstellar community, regarded as knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing rednecks who should be escorted back to the boondocks from whence they came. And they'll probably use a few dozen major cities for target-practice as a message for humanity to remain in our little backwater solar system and to never darken their door again.

You poor, sad, deluded fool. Don't you know that's what THEY want you to think? The Double Secret Real Government, I mean. Of course, you may have heard of them by some other name, such as The New World Order, the Knights Templar, the Illuminati, the Masons, the Bilerburgers, the Tripartite Commission, the Bohemian Grove Guests or The Red-Headed League. Surely you know that they're running things for the benefit of our true masters, the mega-corporate overlords, don't you? Who themselves are actually reptilian aliens who live on earth in an underground world, and merely use us weakling humans as a slave work force, genetic donors and/or food source? Don't you know these things? Just what have you been doing with your time online, anyway?


But perhaps you do know the worst thing: that the reality of every, single group and theory referenced above (well, except for that band which was born in the imagination of Sir A. Conan Doyle) has been advanced in all seriousness as The Truth; and each has thousands if not hundreds of thousands of adherents who believe in their existence and power with unshakable tenacity.

It appears the best the "aliens" could manufacture was a fake president. And assuming the "crash" took place at Roswell in 1947, it took them 61 years to do it.

I had to stop,too much fun,
