The controversy arose on two fronts: the Pro-life objection of abortion, as well as a unanimous objection by Catholic groups who <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">suggest</span> that the usage of the Pope's name creates a mockery of his previous office and stances. Surprisingly, the developers did not see an issue with the title of the clinic and have dismissed the controversy as "small-minded wrangling by idiots." Many anti-abortion groups are planning protests.<br /><img style="width: 209px; height: 265px;" alt="http://www.stanthonycatholic.org/photos/Faith/Pope%20John%20Paul%20II%20-%20The%20Holy%20Father.JPG" src="http://www.stanthonycatholic.org/photos/Faith/Pope%20John%20Paul%20II%20-%20The%20Holy%20Father.JPG" /><br />The clinic, a privately funded, one-of-a-kind establishment, is intended by it's managers to provide services to inner-city women who can not afford abortions on their own.<br /><br />"We want to provide cheap, affordable pregnancy termination to those women who are disadvantaged and need a fresh start. Any opposition will be observed by our staff and management as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">disrespectful</span> to the memory of Pope John Paul II - he would have approved of our position and promoted the charitable work we've done <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">throughout</span> the Cleveland Community," says Wendy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Clarkson</span></span>, a spokesman for the Clinic.<br /><img alt="http://www.designboom.com/history/wirehangers/h12.gif" src="http://www.designboom.com/history/wirehangers/h12.gif" /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Boddy</span></span> Innis, a Pro-life activist who is infamous for his promotion of shooting abortion doctors, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">says</span> that his organization will oppose the establishment of the clinic at all costs.<br />"It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">unconscionable for abortions to be tolerated in our society. My main objection to this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">disgucting</span> travesty, however, if the usage of the Pope's name. Incomprehensible."<br /><br />Another group opposes the name of the clinic for a very different reason. The Anti-Catholic Association feels that naming an "inherently good" institution after Pope John Paul II sullies the image of the cause.<br /><br />"We feel that Pope John Paul II did far more harm to the world than any other pope in history," says <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ACA</span> president Vina <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Smythe</span>. "When you take into consideration the multiple repressive attitudes that he espoused and the true essence of the Catholic religion, you get a disgusting mix."<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Smythe</span> suggests that the clinic change its name to honour an abortion doctor who was killed by extremists.<br /><br />Protests are planned for the next week as well as at the grand opening. 56 abortions are already scheduled and the doctors involved have no intention of changing plans.

Rick Cornstuble of Brookenshire, New England has done extensive research that traces the remarkable correlation between weather patterns and the levels of democracy in the affected nations. In addition, Cornstuble has also written extensively on the role that "Weather-mania" has on the masses and the impact that it has as a distraction from "real" issues in the news media.<br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~algorith/info/probs-graph-files/graph-isomorphism.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/%7Ealgorith/info/probs-graph-files/graph-isomorphism.gif" /><br /><br />As you can see here, isomorphism (in relation to the mass media) progressed in an almost uniform fashion when compared to the number of hits (ie - weather phenomenon impacts), but a wide degree of variance was seen when weather was stable. The likelihood that democracy would be practiced was limited ismorphatically when the weather was exciting or had a general impact on the public.<br /><img alt="http://www.jpowered.com/area_graph/images/area-graph-252.gif" src="http://www.jpowered.com/area_graph/images/area-graph-252.gif" /><br /><br />Here we see the progression of democracy as a whole and as if A) the weather has peaked slowly and an event did occur; but in the least likely probable event recurrence or; B) When the weather was dramatic in nature but in the shortest of timeframes or C) none of the above.<br /><br />Not suprisingly, the findings have shown a strong indication that Weather-mania (read: when the public becomes incited by the weather and is unable to withdraw attention from it) limits the interest the public has in issues that affect them directly. It is almost as if (although the results have not yet been made available) they are more concerned for their immediate safety than the overall state of their democracy. For example, Cornstuble sites several instances when Oklahoma farmers were less likely to voice an opinion on their human rights during a severe storm. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, the farmers were more likely to voice concern about the state of their democracies and how the federal government would provide disaster relief.<br /><br />Cornstuble suggests that these findings are merely preliminary. His goal, however, is to ensure that the state of democracy is protected, regardless of the dire consequences.<br /><br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-52770583759343105032007-02-04T20:36:00.000-09:002007-02-06T17:04:24.113-09:00George Washington Was a Homosexual?And there we have it...some love letters have been uncovered by historians in Paris that are the correspondance between George Washington and his lover, Guy Raffleur III, an eccentric in Southern France. The Leuvre's Office of Antiquated Items (L'Office du Materiales Antique) is currently holding the letters until further study can be done, but early findings are proving the letters to not only be completely genuine, but shocking in nature.<br /><br />An excerpt reads:<br /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">From the depths of my heart, dearest friend; I live not for the setting sun, nor for the trickling water that abades my restlessness in the evenings. But for you I loathe the distance that divides us, that conquers our souls as though they were threshed wheat on a blustery plain; or a locked chest with naught but the treasures of islands lost. Dearest Guy, I wish for the day that we can retire in bliss in the hills of great lands and clutch each other as thieves clutch their gold. We will be Kings of the Universe and the creators of love.</span><br /><br />Some of the letters are disturbing in their description of Washington's lovemaking. Le Louvre is intending to do a show in Paris over the next four years that will expose Washington as both a homosexual, but also that Guy Raffleur III was in control of much of America's political development.<br /><img style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; width: 307px; height: 435px;" alt="http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/harlandj/book/George%20Washington.jpg" src="http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/harlandj/book/George%20Washington.jpg" /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-8556483855882182832007-02-03T13:50:00.000-09:002007-02-03T22:14:12.006-09:00The People of Boston Should Be Ashamed...Just a short post:<br /><br />In Boston, two men were arrested for placing little neon signs all over the city to market the show, Auqa Teen Hunger Force. While the show is unacceptable for anyone, what I can't figure out is how anyone could think that little signs like that look like Litebright would be bombs. Give me a break. The signs were placed in several other cities an there were no problems - but the Mayor of Boston is talking about "post 9-11" and how dereanged the stunt was. I think Boston is deranged.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/photos/2007/02/01/boston-panic-cp-11533401.jpg" alt="Dozens of electronic signs like this one that hung beneath an overpass in Boston sparked the bomb scare." /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-85301365667999475522007-01-30T21:25:00.000-09:002007-01-31T06:45:44.919-09:00Is a Fetus a Parasite?Score one for the Pro-Choice movement across the world, if you like.<br /><br />Several nations in Europe have brought a new argument to the table in their discussion of abortion and the ethical question regarding a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. The debate about abortion, unlike in North America, had been contained primarily within the houses of the intelligentsia throughout much of Western Europe. Most recently, however, Ethicists and Moralist alike have begun to explore a new term of reference in the abortion debate: Is a Fetus a Parasite?<br /><br />There are obviously many categories of parasitics which have different relationships with hosts. Some parasites have symbiotic relationships with their hosts (mutually beneficial) and others do not - the most intriguing thing about the fetus question is this: in what way does a host (mother) benefit from the relationship? Pro-Life advocates argue that it is obvious that maternity is a means of genetic transference. The only thing is, Pro-life advocates (on the whole) do not generally believe in "Science" and think that babies are the result of "Magic." It seems odd that they would only use a particular argument when it suits their purposes.<br /><br />If genetic transference is a prime mover in the biology of human beings, it might be argued, as they have been in France, that Human beings should have control over the ultimate purpose of their existence: to reproduce. As such, pro-choice advocates disagree with the notion that genetic transference should be protected from interference because first: pro-life advocates neither agree with the idea that genetics even exist or that they play some role in our reproduction and secondly: that the sacred protection of individual rights is paramount in supposed democracies and any limits to those freedoms should be treated with absolute animosity.<br /><br />So is a fetus a parasite? Some suggest that because a parasite is usually a "foreign invader," a fetus immediately does not qualify because it is created from within. The question has arisen in some scientific circles, however, as to the nature of sperm and if it can be considered to be a new category of parasite. Sperm is a foreign invader and results in the growth of an animal that "leeches" off the host to its benefit. The new category is being considered to be an offshoot of parasites, somewhat like in "Aliens" where a parasitic creature combines with the DNA of the host to create a new creature.<br /><br />Europe is an infinitely fascinating place...<br /><br /><img style="width: 418px; height: 374px;" alt="http://www.websavey.com/images/users/board_images/Jyynnie/15week%20fetus.JPG" src="http://www.websavey.com/images/users/board_images/Jyynnie/15week%20fetus.JPG" /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-8580117836212029922007-01-28T15:38:00.000-09:002007-01-28T15:53:11.548-09:00Does Satan Have a Blog?Short answer: Yes.<br /><br />For those of whom are unfamiliar with Theistic Satanism and its followers, it is the most significant movement in the Satanist community and has gained ground since the turn of the century.<br /><br /><img style="width: 199px; height: 192px;" alt="http://www.eyeofhorus.org.uk/images/photo/10tennant/series-02/09-satan/the-satan-pit-doctor-beast3.jpg" src="http://www.eyeofhorus.org.uk/images/photo/10tennant/series-02/09-satan/the-satan-pit-doctor-beast3.jpg" />Satanists claim that they experience a "dark" divinity or powerful entity behind the forces of darkness, knowledge, animal energy and freedom in their lives. He is sometimes perceived as the Muse and the Bestower of knowledge. The spiritual leader of the North American Chapter of the League of Satan's Triad (LOST) is code named "Coerodus" and resides in exile.<br /><br />Coerodus was banished from North America by the Black Dragon (another Satanist group), according to the latest publications. His personal journal is found here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thesoliloquy.net">www.thesoliloquy.net</a><br />[The DARK BLOG]<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Please note: I do not approve of Satanism and feel it to be evil.

Not surprisingly, the majority of veterinary practices have been proven to be less than sauvy and are under suspicion by the Veterinary Practices Review Panel, the Denver Animal Surgery Board and the Christian Animal Research Councel. The highest criticism, as stated by many of the investigative teams, is that Veterinary bodies are grossly overcharging pet owners when, in acuality, the procedures and expertise are about as complex as carving a watermelon (Gladys Westlocke, P. 227). Exaggerations aside, the neutering of a pet is far less difficult than most vets make it out to be.<br /><br />In the same spirit as the privatization of medicine throughout many former state-run medical systems, veterinary practices are now evolving to include more specialized private services. Neutering facilities now exist that do not have paid veterinarians, but experienced experts who are trained to administer anaesthetics, remove canine and feline testes and ovaries, and do other less complicated surgeries. The most significant thing about these services is the cost. One particular provider charges only 20 US to neuter dogs. And they can do it in under 15 minutes.<br /><br />There has been some criticism of the change in scope of the veterinary sciences and services providers, but many outside observers insist that it will free veterinarians from earning money through simple procedures and allow them to hone their own skills doing more interesting surgeries.<br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.theanimalrescue.com/images/misc/spay_1.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.theanimalrescue.com/images/misc/spay_1.jpg" /><br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-86655585120011466812007-01-25T09:25:00.000-09:002007-01-25T13:54:24.311-09:00Ergonomics for the 21st Century"The Widow's Hunch," as it was colloquially referred to in the early 20th Century, was originally thought to be caused by the great sorrow a woman felt after losing her husband. Interestingly, new research has shown that it is in fact caused by a combination of arthritis, osteoperosis, and, surprisingly, poor sleeping positions. It was found that in 30% of all aging widows 65+, a tendency to curl as they sleep resulted in "Hunching" as they got even older.<br /><br />An ergonomics company has created a solution to the horrific and debilitating problem - Pressbeds International is a company that designs a kind of bed that offers creative solutions to chronic problems. The Straight Edge is a bed that has incorporated a system to restrain the elderly patients in a corrective manner so that when they sleep their bone are kept straight and strong.<br /><br />Most participants in the studies were initially reluctant to be involved, but they mostly reported positive feelings after the regime was ended. At least 10 percent of the study participants or their guardians ordered The Straight Edge after they were finished. Bone density in the subjects increased by .035%, indicating not only a corrective value in the beds, but also a remedial value.<br /><br />The value of restraining capabilities for the elderly has been discussed at length by a number of geriatric health organizations, specifically those dealing with Alzheimer patients and other degenerative brain diseases. The tendency, also, for individuals to wander has been rectified by The Straight Edge.<br /><br />More to come...<br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><img style="width: 307px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.hauntedfilm.com/y-restraining%20device.gif" alt="" border="0" /></span><br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-30898621426101998372007-01-25T09:02:00.000-09:002007-01-25T09:23:10.710-09:00Language From The UndergroundBased on the coming technological singularity as predicted by many observers who have noted the increasing efficiency of technological development in relation to the cost, a new novel is in development from Canada's most significant underground science fiction author, Teddy II Balthwaite. Teddy II, as his fans have come to affectionately call him, has indicated that his next novel will deal with an abstract exploration of human expression after the technological singularity occurs in 2024 (see Ray Kurtzweil: The Singularity is Coming). Part of the problem that exists for many science fiction writers is the ability to imagine a society that is suddenly overwhelmed by technology that exceeds human intelligence. How would one express himself in an age where language has systematically devolved (or evolved to a degree that exceeds human comprehension)? Teddy II says that he was largely inspired by observing school children text-messaging each other in "cellphone shorthand." He says, however, that of course the language of the future would not even remotely resemble what we possess today since it would be written by ultra-intelligent machines for their use. It might, however, be a simulation of today's languages as the result of machinery emulating the "creator."<br /><br />Teddy II hopes to have his novel completed by late 2008. Fans can look forward to a tale of clashing sentience, confusing and eerie "machine-esque" language constructs, and the ultimate demise of a civilization.<br /><br />Stay tuned!<br /><br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-62945112947578634072007-01-19T19:27:00.000-09:002007-01-19T19:45:17.648-09:00Scientists Identify The "Morality Gene"Just when you thought the Human Genome Project was getting boring: scientists in Utah have identified the so-called "morality gene" which, under most circumstances, governs the human mind's ability to recognize societal norms and conform with them. Aside from the (I think) frightening potentials that can arise out of this discovery - for example: manipulation of the masses and gene therapy to cause obedience - the fact that we can identify these things is remarkable.<br /><br />Early research into the Morality Gene has concentrated on the research of Aparteid Era scientists who concentrated mainly on racially motivated research, not unlike the Nazis. Their essentially primitive research capabilities and directives blinded them to new ideas in the field of genetics. However, the latest projects are indicating, bizarrely, the opposite of what they hoped by the racist regime. People belonging to the Caucazoidal groups (northern Europeans, The northern peoples of the Indian Subcontinent etc) have the widest differencials in their genetic makeup. In the majority of them, the Morality Gene appears to be ineffectual in their design. People of the Negroidal groups (Africans and descendants) have the strongest indicators of the Morality Gene - meaning that they are most likely to form communities and promote peace (in simple genetic terms). Who knew?<br /><br />This is a very simple application of the knowledge that has been acquired through the research, but a vast number of teams are jumping on board to form their own conclusions.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mandela-children.org.uk/site/home.htm"><img src="http://www.mandela-children.org.uk/2005/images/madiba.jpg" alt="Nelson Mandela childrens fund - childrens charities South Africa" border="0" height="460" width="391" /></a><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-17350428958498417202007-01-16T12:50:00.000-09:002007-01-16T13:02:01.444-09:00The Origins of "ZEE"The majority of the English-speaking world has the same pronunciation of the letter "Z". "Zed," they say. Americans, however, have started pronouncing the letter as "Zee" which, by all accounts is incorrect. Why, you may ask, did America suddenly decide to pronounce a whole letter differently than the rest of the world? Well, based on my research, it has a lot to do with the education system. Kidding. It does have to do with a very simple song: THE ALPHABET SONG!!!!!! YAYYYYYY! As the result of "V" being the last syllable in the second last stanza "QRSTUV," the last stanza "WXYZ" sounds funny when you pronounce it "Zed" because it doesn't rhyme with "V." Believe it or not, the pronunciation is traced solely back to Sesame Street, 1971 when the song was purposefully changed to the incorrect "Zee." It was apparently a joke, but so many inner city children, who later became basketball players (probably) started to pronounce it that way that "The Man" couldn't change it back. And there you have it - Sesame Street changed the world!<br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://f5.putfile.com/5/13511123253-thumb.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://f5.putfile.com/5/13511123253-thumb.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-12183490217516927802007-01-15T18:43:00.000-09:002007-01-15T18:52:14.553-09:00What is Terrorism?It is only considered to be terrorism if the poor, weak, Arababic, politically opposed...people do it.

It has been estimated that 50% of all Nunvut youths are addicted to gasoline or other dangerous chemicals such as Pam and WD-40. The "mitten" is used to absorb the substance at which point it is placed in a plastic bag. The documentary will also explore the pressures of "The Huffing Circle," which has replaced many Pow Wow circles in Inuit culture. The "visions" that are common in substance abuse are being treated as legitimate guidance tools for many people. The controversy arises because the documentary attempts to discredit nay-sayers and treat gasoline circles as a legitimate cultural entity.<br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.joecorreia.com/photojournalism/Eskimo%20Web.JPG” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.joecorreia.com/photojournalism/Eskimo%20Web.JPG" /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-48984046032497520342007-01-13T09:07:00.000-09:002007-01-13T09:14:43.237-09:00Dogs - Man's Best FriendDog's are man's best friend.

Although final results are inconclusive due to the effects of the observer on the experiment, within the confines of a laboratory there existed two snowflakes that were atomically the same. Several groups are protesting the construction claiming it to be yet another affront to nature and propose that it is another example of a slippery slope upon which there is no return. In light of the ramification that this will pose to humanity, these groups feel justified in their approach.<br /><br /><br />On the other hand, it is really neat!<br /><img alt="The image “http://web.ncf.ca/ek867/snowflake.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://web.ncf.ca/ek867/snowflake.jpg" /><img alt="The image “http://web.ncf.ca/ek867/snowflake.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://web.ncf.ca/ek867/snowflake.jpg" /><br />---These are the snowflakes replicated---<br /><br />Interestingly-Interesting!!Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11081107970577159735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167994938768195389.post-32927916772673546212007-01-09T20:53:00.000-09:002007-01-09T20:58:54.951-09:00Disturbing TrendsDisturbingly, they have now taken the virtual world to a new disgusting level. Believe it or not, there is now a website that will allow you to create an avatar to represent a concept, person, place, or abstract idea. Base on a detailed parametre list that you provide about the concept etc, the website will develop a life-like avatar. The disturbing thing is: you can perform sexual acts upon the avatar.<br /><br />For example, say traffic makes you angry. You can create a human avatar that represents traffic and entre it into a virtual anime sequence in which "traffic" is beaten, raped and murdered by the controller (you).
