About This Blog ...

What is a Blog?
An online diary, a personal chronological log of thoughts published on the web.

What do I blog about?
Whatever you want. Blog about what you have done, what you are going to do or what you are thinking about doing. Blog about your dreams or your desires. There are no rules to blogging and there are no restrictions. A blog at Blogster is your chance to grab your 15 minutes of fame - so, as we say at Blogster, Blog Big!

    I love blogster, because it is a full community of people from all parts of the world, where any and all areas of society, left and right, straight and gay get to post things they feel strongly about, or that interest them. They can be the author, or they can bring attention to other authors and journalists. But all parts of society are represented here, and there is someone posting something that will interest nearly anyone of nearly any age. With that said, I get many comments on my posts, which include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Politics bores me.
  2. Videos again
  3. Your posts are too long
  4. Can't you mix it up
  5. That is depressing
  6. We can't change anything anyways
  7. I have enough going on...
  8. You are too critical of republicans
My feelings and thoughts about those....
  1. It bored many a Jew in Germany until it came knocking on their doors. This is the governance of your life, your children's lives. That bores you, then you need to stay a brainless sheep.
  2. Yes, Adult learning occurs though visual & auditory routes, as well as by doing. Thus, I mix it up for the sake of retention. Plus a 6 minute video could translate to a 12 page post, so that too plays a factor.
  3. Sorry, sometimes these issues are complicated, and for you to fully understand them, you have to read. Not my rule...
  4. NO.
  5. No SHlT, sherlock...
  6. With that defeatist strategy, you are right you can't. Watch Idol and eat your bon bons. Spit on the graves of the founding fathers who took our country back with only the support of 1 in 5 of the colonists of that day.
  7. Me too, but I take the time, because people are being killed and tortured, and I will not be one to say I did nothing. I did what I could to get our troops home, to close the black site prisons, to stop the rape and death of children. If your life is more important than that, perhaps I should blog about you.
  8. HMMM. Boo hoo. They have earned the critical eye after rubber stamping all this crap we see today with their 12 year congressional majority and the past 6 years of doing anything and everything Bush ever wanted, to the point that now we have a dictator, not a president, that apparently is nearly impossible to stop. When democrats, who were a minority and couldn't do subpoenas or investigations that were not hindered, spoke out they were attacked by, guess who, republican spin.
    You know what you're getting when you come here. I could talk about my life, but honestly I find it rather boring and as another of our blogsters puts it, "unfabulous." I am not changing my format or my content, my style or my focus. If that bothers you, go elsewhere. If you need a mix, read something else then come back. If I am too abrasive, cry to mommy, truth hurts. I think everyone knows what they are getting when they visit my blog. Now if you have a specific request for a topic, I don't care to try and tackle that, my areas of greatest knowledge is medicine and politics, and I am a decent researcher online, I know what is credible and what is fodder, and where to check the facts. But if your comments are just going to be one of the 8 mentioned, just don't say anything, contribute to the topic at hand or buzz off.

    This is GREAT! I absolutely loved your response to #7! [THUMBUP][THUMBUP][LOL][LOL][THUMBUP][THUMBUP]

    You are just a closet case liberal...[WINK][LOL][LOL][LOL][TONGUE]
  • skinhead44 said 1 years ago
    Very good James. And unlike others, you are a VERY good sport at taking it as well as dishing it out without any personal feelings against the person who's passionate about their beliefs as well. I hope you still like me even though I see I made a lot of those criticisms you brought up-I'll freely admit it :--) It's your blog and you can do whatever you want with it' "if it makes you happy it can't be that bad." Keep on keepin' on and I'll do the same!

    Thx for your support with my situation right now. Later dude, Bo

    Believe me, you are not the only one who has made some of those statement, MANY MANY people have said the same. But I feel like mainstream media has failed our nation, and someone has to try to expose some of these issues better than they are being exposed today.

    And of course I still like you, and everyone else who has said those things too. I just wanted to get the point across that there is a goal and motivation to my posts and my site. It's not about me, it is about what I think is the most pressing issues of our time and our nation. I am sorry that bores some, and I too have things that get in the way in my personal life, but I feel compelled to at least put the most important and least discussed stuff on here anyway. True democracy only happens if the public is informed about the facts that surround the issue.[SMILE][COOL][SMILE]

    and I wasn't going to point out anyone in particular either. If I had listed everyone who said that, this post would have been too long too...[LOL][LOL]

    LOL...I tell it like it bro..sometimes too much information..LOL. In real life, partners use sensitive info I provide them as ammunition against me and if that's isn't classless I don't know what is. You're a cool guy even though we don't agree on everything I like reading what you have to say. Have a good day-

  • hayduke said 1 years ago
    I too love blogster for many of the reasons that you mention here. I am addicted.
    As for the #8 comment about your blog: It's IMPOSSIBLE to be too critical of Republicans.
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    Hey! I resemble that remark! [OHMY][LOL][LOL][THUMBUP][COOL]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    NO! You are a closet conservative (you just don't know it yet)! [COOL][THUMBUP][LOL][LOL][LOL][TONGUE]

    You go James!!![SMILE]

    Thanks for all your help and your friendship!

    PS: Ask your blogsters to call their Senators and politely demand a special prosecutor to investigate the allegations of election fraud, and the politically-motivated firings of federal prosecutors who were investigating Bush donors. The time is ripe and the President's ill-gotten power is at its lowest point since 2000 ushered in this madness.
