DieHardBrownsFan Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Here is another PROMINENT LIBERBAL really stupid quote: Michael Moore on terrorism: "There is no terrorist threat. Yes, there have been horrific acts of terrorism and, yes, there will be acts of terrorism again. But that doesn't mean that there's some kind of massive terrorist threat." Moore is some morbidly obese pig who should be sent to Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there have been horrific acts of terrorism and, yes, there will be acts of terrorism again. But that doesn't mean that there's some kind of massive terrorist threat." That's actually fairly factually accurate compared to the real threats we face at home, namely Americans with guns that kill around 30,000 every year. How many Americans have been killed by terrorism in the last 25 years? 5000? 10,000? That's including Lockerbie, OK city khobar towers 9/11, the war in Iraq (although that really shouldn't count) how many killed by fellow Americans with guns? Approximately 750,000. Which is a bigger problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 . Henry Waxman on Environmentalism: "We're seeing the reality of a lot of the North Pole starting to evaporate, and we could get to a tipping point. Because if it evaporates to a certain point - they have lanes now where ships can go that couldn't ever sail through before. And if it gets to a point where it evaporates too much, there's a lot of tundra that's being held down by that ice cap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Cal, books are lame Woody Yes sir. Was never a fan of reading fictional books with no consequence in the real world throughout school. I mean I was honors English for years and years but I mostly used spark notes or the cliffnotes. I thought English was a wasted class if we just spent our time discussing symbolism in Gatsby or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 It's NON-FICTION, Woody. About bio-warfare, and the politics surrounding it, especially between the Soviets and America. The "NON" in "NON-FICTION" means "NOT FICTION". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Here, woody honors English ... you missed a lot of English: Non-fiction (or nonfiction) is the form of any narrative, account, or other communicative work whose assertions and descriptions are understood to be factual. This presentation may be accurate or not—that is, it can give either a true or a false account of the subject in question—however, it is generally assumed that authors of such accounts believe them to be truthful at the time of their composition or, at least, pose them to their audience as historically or empirically true. Note that reporting the beliefs of others in a non-fiction format is not necessarily an endorsement of the ultimate veracity of those beliefs, it is simply saying it is true that people believe them (for such topics as mythology, religion). Non-fiction can also be written about fiction, giving information about these other works. Non-fiction is one of the two main divisions in writing, particularly used in libraries, the other form being fiction. However, non-fiction need not be written text necessarily, sincepictures and film can also purport to present a factual account of a subject.

MLD Woody Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Alright, congrats Cal. I told you why I'm not a big fan of reading books. Even non fiction books don't appeal to me. I'd rather watch a documentary if I'm going that route. I think they're just boring. Different age, different generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Okay. Once, in Freshman English, our goof prof, tweed jacket, pipe, wire rim glasses and bedroom slippers and goatee... made us read 64 books - all classics. Most of them sucked royally. "The Great Gatsby" ??? Whatever. And, every three days, we had to have that book read, and then he'd ask us questions on the hidden, secret meanings in each book. And our class rarely got the questions right. He was insane. Hated it. But, in another Freshman English class... the whole class was based on Joseph Campbell's book "Hero of a Thousand Faces". It was fascinating. Seriously deep, a brilliant work. There are books, like movies, that are great, and others that suck. That's why I'm writing my adventure novel, which still isn't finished, haven't worked on it for a year. The book I mentioned above, was written by two reporters from The New York Times, at the time....and Stephen Engelberg is/was ? managing director of the Oregonian. All three authors have received the Pulitzer Prize for their journalism. William Safire, of the New York Times, said the book was "The most important book of the year". I'd recommend the book to everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was actually at Kent, majoring in Speech major, English minor, in secondary education. But, a big union strike was looming where my Dad worked, and they were giving loaning me money for tuition. So, it was said to be a big, probably long strike. So, I quit college, and enlisted. I used to give them every check every payday. I kept enough for gas, and a bit for food. I used to eat a lot of salad, and fish. There were two fishing lakes out back at Wright Pat in Dayton... and I hunted squirrel and frogs. Hell, I was a good bit "Duck Dynasty" before camo was cool. I went into computers after the service, because they were all the rage, and there was a lot of teachers around. Should have stayed a teacher, I reckon. ah well. Anyways, I always loved reading, creative writing. What I wanted to do, was go into geology as a major. But no, the job possibilities weren't anything to brag about. Love geology. Anybody know a geologist? In Ohio? lol. Well, now there are gas wells... Oh, in that class, the one with the weasel, insane prof? We were assigned one time, to bring in our favorite book, and we'd talk about the "hidden meanings" in it. My favorite book was "Hound of the Baskervilles" - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes novel. Well, by the time the class was discussing my chosen favorite, we were all laughing AT him, and he walked out of class. He said my book was about eh...something like "man's inhumanity, and the inner Freudian rage. Well, one gal muttered "oh, serioiusly?" and the whole class broke out in laughing uproar. His face turned red, he tossed his unlit prop pipe, and sashey'd out of the room in a huff. We were only one third of the way through class.... And that was the first of three freshman English classes. It's a wonder I still love to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowburn Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Many studies have shown that reading provides a greater amount of stress relief than, say, watching a movie or listening to a movie on audio cassette. Reading, also, results in positive stimulation of the mind which is beneficial at every life stage. Read a book today to increase your concentration and slow memory loss!!

slowburn Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Although it has been twenty five years since I graduated from college I can still recall the workload involved and, yea, there was not much if any free time left for recreational reading. At my age, though, reading is certainly a stress reliever and anything that may ward off Alzheimer's is an activity I feel important to pursue. Besides, reading increases your vocabulary, broadens your knowledge and can open you up to all kinds of new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
