Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s states that Palestinians are an “invented” people, on Jewish TV.

First of all idiot was speaking to Jewish TV. He wants to kiss their ass as much as possible. Second and probably most important point is that modern day Israel is the invented country. Everyone talks about historical, but they only go back to Solomon’s Israel. If you go back before Moses, you will realize that Abraham’s people didn’t have a country of their own. They were nomadic people wandering the desert. When the people of Moses finally did enter “The Promised Land”, they went to war to steal it from the people that were already there; the native Semitic people, who supposedly descended from Abraham anyway… If you remember Abraham threw out his first child and baby Mama, who suposedly went on to found what is today the Arab people.If you are going to discuss history…. let us go back to the entire history of the region. 

Just because of the Holocaust, Jews are not completely blameless or innocent. They too have participated in events that attempted to destroy a race of people. It is a sad part of human history that many races have been victims of holocaust. But we only seem to remember the light skinned ones. 

Modern Israel was not created by the historically brown Israelites of the Bible or history. Modern Israel was created by the White European Exiled Jews. They have always treated the native (Arab) Jews like second like second class citizens. It is a racist elitist state. Face it, it is about color, always has been always will be.

My daughter recently posted as her status: “Please stop having children”, after finding out that a young relative, who has a seven month old baby, is due to have another in six months. It seems many of her friends and classmates are currently having children. These are all girls between 17 and 22. Some of those girls probably had their first child before they even reached their senior year in high school.

Now I am not sure if her objection is purely about the age of the parent… or also because of the fact that our face book pages are inundated with baby pictures, and the accomplishments of toddlers and young children!

I myself, have found myself annoyed by all the kid news I see on FB… it is the equivalent of all those people you meet, with the wallets filled with their children… and they want everyone to see. I simply scroll through and ignore it… Some days, I scroll through several pages before I get to simple adult conversation. All the people my age (in my early 40’s), seem to be raising children now.

It is June right now, so it’s been a month of graduations, recitals, award ceremonies….. kids, kids, kids…. all over the place. Some parents are so obsessed with their kids that I wonder if they have anything else in their lives at all. “My kids are my life!” It seems kind of pathetic to me sometimes. I know that parenthood is important, but someday that kid is going to grow up, and what the hell are you going to do then? Will you just die, because your life is now over?

I always believed that eventually my child would leave to have her own life, so I made sure that I continued to cultivate my relationship with my husband, and encouraged her to be independent and to make friends…. and grow towards her own life. I tried to spend as much time as possible with her, played with her, read with her, talked to her. She’s almost twenty years old and we are very close. I have never been obsessed over her. Sure I miss her when she’s gone, but we still talk, and remain close.

This is why I called this “Random Thoughts”, I don’t really know where to go with this at this point…. I am sure that my daughter’s status is bound to insult some people! I cringed when I read it. Whenever I see something on face book, that angers me, puzzles me, makes me go “WTF?” I simply post my response here.

I know that what I have to say about the latest Obama controversy would lose me half my friends on FB! Do I really care? I mean they are not real friends; I have never spent that much time with them…. I merely passed them in the hallways, or sat with them in class or at lunch. I doubt that I ever really discussed anything of real import with them. Maybe I am getting old enough to finally have a tiny sense of diplomacy? Nah! I simply don’t feel like getting insulted and cursed at on a totally public forum like that. I like tumblr, because, if you don’t like what you read, you can just move on. On FB, everyone feels compelled to unfriend you, or post all kinds of angry rhetoric. On tumblr, I can say what I feel, if I don’t like what someone says, I can simply block or delete the comments. Frankly, I really don’t care what you think of me or my opinions…. but I have the right, as does anyone else, to express them fully. One cannot keep emotions built up inside…. It helps to write about them, turn them around, examine them, and evolve them into coherent ideas.

After I read the news yesterday, I felt like clapping. Finally Mr. Obama finally said what I hope many have believed for a very long time. Then I read the feedback and the comments, and realized that to agree with any of Obama’s statement on this particular topic, is to be labeled foul and unspeakable names. I realized that I would be lumped in with groups whom I abhor. I had to keep my comments in my head, because I would be embroiled in looong drawn out battles, heated and incapacitated by emotions and rage. This type of response would virtually wash me away in an emotional flood, for which I had yet to prepare a levy. I know what I believe…. I know the reasons why I believe this. I have thought about this for years. Unfortunately the subject touches a deep well of emotions in me as well, and I can only go so far before I too, am unable to control my emotional response…. I am positive that I could easily become a screeching harpy, and cease to think rationally, thus speaking seemingly improvable bull shit. I need to have a backup of historical fact in order to place a compelling and logical argument in support of my opinion.

 Here’s an interesting article from the New York Times, which also includes  video from the today show, that really upset me today. This is the saddest thing I have seen in a very long time. This article seems to condone infidelity…. as long as you don’t do it in your spouse’s bed!!! I always thought that I was a very liberal person, but the disregard and disrespect in which marriage is held in our society really bothers me. I truly believe that marriage is the core of society. Nowhere is loyalty, love, trust & faith expressed more than in marriage. Infidelity is a horrible evil thing, no matter what bed you do it in…. We need to reinforce marriage, not try to figure out how to forgive and forget… We need to emphasize that once you wed you are wed for life, and that person that you have chosen to cleave to for the rest of your life is the most important person in your life. There is no good enough excuse for any type of infidelity.

I know I am probably being totally random, and probably more than a little overzealous, but this is just one subject that really upsets me beyond reason.

Ok, there are reasons for the dissolution of a marriage…. This is something that I am perfectly aware of. I have seen quite a few horribly wrong marriages. I am truly saddened that some people have had horrible experiences in marriage. I feel they were betrayed by the other person. I know that they went into marriage with full trust and faith that it would be forever. Somewhere along the line, the other person destroyed that.

purrandwoof asked: My earliest memory was too fuzzy I'm not sure anymore if it is even real. There was a bathtub and linen curtains and some white statue like thing. But I do remember Mexico for sure. So if it's not my earliest memory it is my clearest first memory... that is of you wiping my butt (seriously D'Oh!)...

Yeah. I have many memories of wiping your butt, and getting woken up in the middle of the night to do it too. Yep! Good times! LOL!

I think my favorite thing about face book is the superficiality of it. It allows semi-social people to remain somewhat in touch with the world, and still keeps it far enough apart to prevent people from getting too close. I don’t mind the occasional  interaction with others, but I will never get close enough to anyone else to allow them to betray me and break my heart again. I think, that I have always been a loner. I met my soul mate, he is also a loner. We do well together, we accept everything about each other. We can be in the same room together, yet happily alone in our own world. We often reach out and touch each other, with our eyes or our fingers. We connect and we feel right. I have never felt wrong around him. I have never felt out of place, embarrassed, or weird with him. He is the only person I completely trust with my heart, my soul, my true thoughts and feelings.

I am so angry at ABC! Apparently Bristol Palin is going to be in DTWS this season!?!?!!? Who was the genius that approved this crap?!?! Why does this ignorant child continue to get so much attention? She is one of the biggest hypocrites in the history of the earth. She is already making a ton of money speaking at abstinence rallies. Hello!?!?!?! She had unprotected sex, and proceeded to get pregnant out of wedlock….. And now she’s the spokesperson for abstinence before marriage. And the fact that the boy she had sex with, and had a child with, is a Joe Buttafucco wanna be, who is currently pursuing a career in the sex media makes it even more ludicrous!!

WTF is wrong with this country? Teenagers will have sex. That fact will never change. Abstinence is only realistic for adults who have chosen that kind of lifestyle… after an informed intelligent amount of time reflecting on their beliefs and ideas. It is our moral responsibility to teach our children how to protect themselves. We cannot deny the human instinct to explore and investigate all parts of our nature. Abstinence is an unrealistic demand on people who are too young to make proper decisions, because of the raging hormonal state they are in during the teen years. We let them drive, and provide education for them, then we hand them the key. Driving is more dangerous than sex.

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

I was three years old, and was looking in the window with my sister Edith, at this screaming little red baby that my mom had just brought home.
