Happy Independence Day!

It makes me what the British people think about this American holiday!  :)

 Anyhow, I love this holiday!  Not only can we celebrate our countries birthday, but it's summer!  Fireworks, Festivals, Fairs, Concerts, Picnics, & just about anything & everything you can imagine!  4th of July is the greatest summer holiday ever!   

I love this country & am proud to be part of this great nation!  Compared to most other countries in the world, our country is young!  We are free to choose, by the people, for the people, free to live! 

Happy Independence Day America! 

Beheading & executions of todays world.

Scary Days?  After reading & watching the news everyday, it makes one think that the world is going crazy. . .   Is the violence in the world getting more extreme or is the availability of information just going so fast the news spreads across the globe at super fast speeds?

I actually don't think the world is getting anymore more worse then it always has been.  Mankind has always been cruel & inhumane, history proves that.

Now a terrorist group who calls themselves "ISIS" ( ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Now, as I write this let me explain.  The other day ISIS  beheaded American journalist James Foley.  Let us be clear, this is NOT the first beheading this group has done.  It's a common occurrence considering it has been one of the main forms of execution in that part of the world for thousands of years, (They still do "Death by Stoning").

The main reasons this news traveled so fast is:  

• This journalist was more famous then usual.
• A video of the actual beheading was taken (Yes, people are curious).
• The actual video was uploaded to the Internet, with direct copys uploaded to News media services.
• The Media was then made famous by news agencies.  (The speed it spread is mainly this reason).

Executions have been held since the dawn of mankind, and even today, almost all of the countries do it including the United States although its usually done here for some of the most horrific crimes.

I actually don't really think violence is getting any worse or at least statistics pretty much prove that, but only that the most horrid actions by man spread at a faster rate because bad news is what gives the media their power & otherwise who would look since we all want to see.  (Prime example is Car Crashes)  People always slow down to look at them, especially the bad ones usually are tough to get through from all the people looking as they drive by.

I have never been a big fan of hiding the truth, I believe totally in freedom of the press, and I'm actually glad some of this stuff makes us Americans here in the United States, go out of the country using caution since were very aware of what some of the other people want to do to us just for being Americans. 

Anyhow, I'm still thankful I'm an American-  I'm glad that we step in from time to time to help other countries but I wish we would more often.  If your an American, don't be scared of Terrorisim to the degree of making you want to crush our United States Constitution and bend it to suite terrorists or criminals.  We don't make deals with terrorists!  If we did then none of us would be safe.  

Take care of Each Other!-  CraZyCaT

Here's some interesting statistics for 2012 on Executions in the world we live in.

We are only separated by our Governments!

OK, so I'm from the United States of America!  I love my country but I don't think my government has my best interest in picking my friends for me!

Now, I think we have always been brain washed by our government on who is our enemy, and who is our friends.  If you ask me, the USA government isn't good at picking friends either, considering we trained "Bin Ladin".  We gave Iraq, Iran, weapons & ammo, only for them to use them against us.  Were currently giving Egypt 3 Trillion dollars a year (of coarse their our friends).

I've been on the Internet since before it was even public.  I have friends from all over the planet!  China, Russia, Africa, Israel, Japan,  The UK, in short. . . just about every nation you can think of!

I actually don't really see these countries as enemies just because my government tells me too.

Why is China our enemy?  They have been our allies in both WWI & WWII.  When did they start being the enemy of our country?  Why is Russia any different-  They were our Allies in WWII.  Why do we  love Japan although they attacked us & tried to wipe us out?  You think in 70 years it was that long ago, that they now have our backs like best friends?

Now. . . I've had online friends from Russia & China for over 20 years now!  They have taught me so much information on programming, PC Security, and have never asked me for anything in return. . . but my friendship.

Now writing this, I probably made the list (The US says their not spying on me, but we know the truth. . . )

Our constitution is totally based on FREE Speech, yet you have to watch what you say, otherwise  you could get on their so called Non-Existing List of trouble makers.

Now, Last year China designated they were in control of the Gulf of Adin. President Obama ordered a fleet and also a B1 Bomber to fly over this area, and close to China's shores.  What for?  Like I said, we should be with them, not against them.

What do we care what happens to Japan?  They tried to kill us, China has always been our Allies.

I like how were supposed to be the good guys we we use torture to get information. (Guantamino Bay is a prime example).

Why are we trying to shove our ideas of Democracy down everyones throat?  Were supposed to be the Good Guys, what ever happened to Freedom & the right to live without someone telling you how?

I think we should stop helping any other countries,  and start doing, & caring about our own people.  (Ya it took 5 days to get water to the Super Dome in New Orleans so the government has your back.  Couldn't they drop some water by helicopter?)

I love my country but it sure seems like it's run without caring what the people say or what's right.

God Bless America, & the rest to the Planet too!
