QUOTES FROM “REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER" - MAY 29 2009

Friday, May 29th, 2009



QUOTES FROM “REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER



Following are quotables from “Real Time with Bill Maher” for Friday, May 29th, 2009. “Real Time with Bill Maher” airs Fridays at 10:00PM ET (10:00PM PT, tape delayed) on HBO, with additional replays throughout the week on HBO and HBO 2.





Sonia Sotomayor, her background, wow, graduated first in her class at Princeton, Yale Law School, a prosecutor, a sitting judge for the last 18 years. Or as conservatives call it, "unqualified."

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue



Here’s a woman who was raised in the Bronx, tough neighborhood, without a father. And that's how you know America is a great melting country - when your Supreme Court justice has the same back-story as your lap dancer.

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue



The last time Rush Limbaugh talked to a Hispanic woman, it was his maid, getting him his drugs.

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue



What happens on your plate represents your most important engagement with the natural world and the biggest impact you have on climate change. Meat eating in particular represents a tremendous amount of greenhouse gasses produced.



New Rule: Before the Supreme Court welcomes its first Hispanic Justice, Clarence Thomas must admit he's a little disappointed that Obama didn't pick a lesbian.

- Bill Maher in his “New Rules” segment



New Rule: Honey Nut Cheerios have to take the bee off the box. It reminds me that all the bees are dying, and if I wanted to start my day staring at something that makes me want to kill myself I'd watch Fox and Friends. We lost almost a third of America's bee population last winter. I can't take another morning thinking about a beautiful striped animal going extinct. Which is why tomorrow I'll have Frosted Flakes.

- Bill Maher in his “New Rules” segment



This week's guests were Richard Pollan, John Bolton, Heather Wilson and Harper Hill.

"therefore, when you called me a theorist, you simply meant that i was... explaining a theory. much like explaining what an idiot looks like -..."

My opinion of you aside...

You totally misunderstood what I stated.

You didn't identify a conspiracy that others have bought into. For if they would have, they would be self admitted idiots.

Even idiots of your scale, refuse to admit to that fact.

So, you've taken something that doesn't even exist, being this "conspiracy" of yours and YOU labeled it a "theory"

See...

First your scitzo brain has you spewing that you aren't a conspiracy theorist, then a second later, your crippled mind has you actually making up a theory, that nobody other than you seems to subscribe to?

...ignorant cunt

Lauren Perry said...

haha,
apparently it was you who, again, failed to misunderstand.

i will try to be as clear as possible:

i was INDEED explaining a theory others buy into. in fact, there are two (i was explaining one): the theory that 19 arab men hijacked four airplanes and flew them into buildings on 9/11 - including the bin laden backstory, and ESPECIALLY including the theory that NIST gives for the collapse of the towers (i won't bother explaining their ridiculous proposals, look them up yourself)

the second theory that i did not describe is the one the truthers promote, which is why people call them conspiracy theorists: that bush, cheney, the bilderberg group and some assortment of others conspired to commit 9/11 (or let it happen, or whatever).

these are two opposing, proposed theories by groups that people call the "debunkers" (the "official" report is included in this camp), and the "truthers."

i said that i do not have a theory for what happened that day.
rather, i question the "official story," which is, as i pointed out, just another theory about 19 men conspiring from caves in afghanistan to attack the u.s., etc etc.

do you get it now? i mean, i can't be much more clear than this.

Lauren Perry said...

i would have to have a theory of 9/11 about a conspiracy (def: three or more people planning something malicious)

and i don't have one, nor do i believe the gov'ts theory, or the truthers.

ZenGrouch said...

"i was INDEED explaining a theory others buy into..."

OK, ya' stupid cunt...

Where is the disclaimer on the final 9-11 report stating that it's theory and not fact?

People are buying into fact.

In your psychotic world, fact and fiction gets all mixed up.

Just like implying something or making a claim. There's something in your head that gets the two all mixed up, just like theory and fact.

YOU have taken what is fact, and claim that it is theory, without any proof to back up your wacky CONSPIRACY THEORY!

Take a deep breath, step away from the keyboard, and maybe forget about torturing your mind anymore than it already has been.

Pop some pills and watch "I'm a Celebrity..."

Lauren Perry said...

don't take pills
don't watch tv

- that goes for everyone.

anyway,

the "official" story was changed three times before it was completed LAST YEAR by one of more than three "investigations."

i call that a theory - an ever changing one.
in FACT, it is "theory by simulation".
how... factual.

9/11 Commission members know they were lied to, and you don't.

That's sad.

Here is something for the xian:

If God is immortal and God & Jesus & the Holy Ghast are one & the same, how is it that he could 'give his only son'? I mean, being that they are one and the same and He's immortal & all that superhero shit...

Is it possible that Jesus was lying? Apparently a lot of Jews think so...

ZenGrouch said...

"9/11 Commission members know they were lied to, and you don't..."

...so say the voices in your warped mind.

But anyway, this is what you base your entire argument on, and you can't even begin to provide any evidence disproving what is presented as fact.

...just the voices in your diseased cunt mind.

ZenGrouch said...

OK, look back at the past few posts, and tell me where you aren't coming off like a "conspiracy theorist"?

You're saying that those who have presented the facts, are wrong, and a person would be crazy to believe them.

Yet... you have absolutely no evidence to back up your argument. Therefore, YOU ARE A CONSPIRACY THEORISTS!

...this takes us back to the beginning of this argument, where you claim to not be a theorists, then show us exactly why you are one.

You're either a really dumb cunt, and/or your mind is fucked up some how.

The evidence points to both.

Used to be the political parties plotted to out do each other, for the benefit of American citizens. Now they advance their personal careers by plotting to undermine each the other, to the detriment of all American citizens; like international politics.

Go healthcare! I'm glad Bill is using his podium for something worthwhile.

ZenGrouch said...

"Used to be the political parties plotted to out do each other, for the benefit of American citizens..."

When was this?

Surely not in this or the past century!

Lauren Perry said...

discrediting a theory does not make me a conspiracy theorist

and if i "come off like one," that's because you watch so much mainstream media that you think the way everyone else does - to dismiss two different ideas with the same phrase: "conspiracy theory."

since my questioning of the gov'ts story is neither a theory nor does it involve a conspiracy, i merely have lots of reasons to doubt the official conspiracy they presented us. if you want to know those reasons, do your own damn research, i ain't makin the case for it in a blog comment. that's pathetic. if you're curious, then use your goddamn mind - it needs the practice anyway.

again, just because i know you probably still dont get it: i don't need evidence to question the gov'ts theory.

ZenGrouch said...

"discrediting a theory does not make me a conspiracy theorist..."

...this is where your mental defect, comes into play.

What you are doing is attempting to discredit something that is presented as fact, based solely on your fucked up opinions.

Can't you understand?

The 9-11 report, as far as I can tell, is based on scientific fact and observations.

Now, if you have problems with any of the specifics, how difficult is it to present your alternative view, in a way that doesn't make you look either crazy or stupid?

So, until you can debunk the facts, as presented, you are dealing with A CONSPIRACY THEORY!

I'm sure that you'll counter my argument till hell freezes over, by claiming that the government has only presented theory.

But if it's only theory, ask yourself, why you can't punch a hole in it, by showing all of the lies, that only exist in your mind?

Come on now!

Buck up!

You're a globe hopping, award winning, documentary film maker!

Why aren't you out there, showing us the truth?

If it's so obvious, that the gobment, is presenting us with outright lies, shouldn't you be documenting as many of them as you possibly can?

Come on, this is your golden opportunity to show everyone who knows anything about you, that you aren't really a crazy fuck!

Apparently the war pigs haven't sated their greed yet with Afghanistan & Iraq & Pakistan, now they want to attack Iran?

Everything looks like a target to these thugs? Would we be invading Iran right now if McCain had won the election?

Perhaps this time we should wait for the UN to figure out wtf is happening...

ZenGrouch said...

"Perhaps this time we should wait for the UN to figure out wtf is happening..."

That's cute...

...funny and cute!

ZenGrouch said...

"since my questioning of the gov'ts story is neither a theory nor does it involve a conspiracy, i merely have lots of reasons to doubt the official conspiracy they presented us..."

I'm guessing once you ask yourself this question, you'll come to realize that in your mind, you have no actual ammunition to counter the facts regarding 9-11 that the gobment presented.

The question that will cause your brain to lock up hopelessly, leaving you unable to respond in anything other than a mentally agitated manner is:

**What is your best evidence that the government lied and/or presented lies in the 9-11 report, citing any or all lies you care to address?**

You can't do it.

In your brain, you got a fuzzy idea, but when asked to put it into print, even you realize how stupid you look, and can do nothing other than pop your top!

Either that, or you'll present something that I'll be able to blow out of the water off the top of my head.

But that'll give us a look inside your twisted brain, showing us what you believe evidence or proof to be.

This when you can't differentiate theory from fact.

Not even in definition.

Lauren Perry said...

it is not my responsibility to school you on the facts of that day.

do your own damn research, if you're curious. other than that, you should, at the very least, accept the FACT that the act of arguing a theory does not involve the replacing of it with another by necessity, but rather, it simply involves questioning the legitimacy of the original theory.
hence, in your original statement that i am a conspiracy theorist, you are dead fucking wrong.
accept it.
i don't need to argue anything for what i just said to be absolutely true.
i know you want this argument to have been about something other than your own inconsistencies, like the theory of the truthers themselves. i can't give you a theory, grouch, i haven't a fucking clue what's true with that day. but i know what isn't true.

Lauren Perry said...

in the end, my little grouch, it's like this:
you ain't gonna accept a damn fuckin' inch until you have your own little personal epiphany about life (you're in dire need of one).
so there is literally no point in me trying to convince you of not only the fact that the "official" 9/11 story is bullshit, but the fact that in saying that i am by definition not a conspiracy theorist; trying to prove any of that is a waste of valuable time - time which you clearly waste in a habitual way. getting caught up in this nonsense appears to be a core part of your make-up, and that depresses me. until something in you clicks and you realize that the fundamental problem that everyone has with you is your ceaseless vomiting of negativity,
you will always be alone and bitter and you will always vomit negative, pointless insulting bullshit.

sorry to be direct here, but this never had anything to do with 9/11. it has everything to do with your inability to connect with other people, to communicate properly, to fully understand the concepts that someone else is trying to convey to you. instead, you chop up the world and analyze it and never connect with anything, and it has turned you into a poisonous presence on a blog commentary site that no one really ever reads or cares about...

and this is just sad now.

end of line.

my story is long and complicated but i must try to convey my distress as short as i can. i was in a work related accident 15 years ago. i had a sewer van eject and then land on me wile avoiding a collision on the highway. I was severely injured brain damage, broken bone and many other sever injures. i was let out of a hospital and told to return to work no compensation. left to my own and told the pain i still had was a lie . there was nothing wrong with me but i continued to try and get help left to deal with it myself the only relief i could find was pot.Then they put me in jail for smoking it ,getting more sever every time i was busted until they took the tax payers money to put me in prison for 5 years where i had no new med. help and left to my pain Finely a chiropractor found 3 fist size tumors rubbing on my spine. Finely a Doc.pulled them out leaving me with real painful scar tissue that will never heal and rub on my spine until i die. They give me morphine percuset and tons of pain killer now but no pot and i lost my help from housing (and countless other programs to support myself and son) because i smoked pot. Are u being protected this way? Is this war on drugs about the drugs? Or just a way to control us? Do u know how much money u spent on putting me in jail?What if u where me?

"it is not my responsibility to school you on the facts of that day..."

Of course not! The FACTS are in record.

You claim they are in error.

Yet you refuse to say which facts you believe to be erroneous.

That's nuts in my book, Honey Bunches of Nut.


"do your own damn research, if you're curious. other than that, you should, at the very least, accept the FACT that the act of arguing a theory does not involve the replacing of it with another by necessity, but rather, it simply involves questioning the legitimacy of the original theory..."

OK, your trolley to Crazyville done jumped the track, Sugar Smacks.

I've made my point that you're shooting blanks, and want to do your fragile psyche no further damage...

...for now anyway.

Lauren Perry said...

haven't you even studied the "facts" you say are there? they've changed three times in the past 8 years - or can't you even look up something as simple as that? the information is everywhere - try google, ever heard of it? the "facts" your defending, i.e., FEMA, the 9/11 Commission and the NIST report, are all just attempts at explaining something that no one has successfully explained - and if you did your own personal research, you would know that, without question.

ZenGrouch said...

If you can't articulate, on any level, what problem you have with the facts, I'm through with you on this subject.

You've showed yourself to be a loon...

...that's cool with me.

Bill, this shot you are taking at Obama is going to backfire. I understand that you have falling into obscurity. And you should be credited for paving the way for the Daly Show and even the Cobert Report. But, this is no way to get back some of that fame you lost. Because credibility truly is the new game in town. And you just lost a whole bunch of it, with this meaningless attack on Obama.

Truth is, we need a President that we can see and hear from on a regular, even daily, basis. And the truth also, is that most of what we see of our president is the work he is doing.

This will be the last time I visit your website. I have never seen your latest show. And your lastest attempt at grabbing attention assures that I, and many others, never will.

Bill, when you said the entitled victim mindset was coming out of the wood work you weren't kidding.

Bill,

As always, gnarly topix.

I like the question about electing judges, but do you really think appointing them is really going to make a difference? They are all scumsucking lawyers.

How about we appoint judges like we appoint jurors - at random, out of the tax roles & driver's license records. Natural born citizens, no felons. I think a formal education requirement should be replaced with a competence test & 2 referals, because all a degree means anymore is that your parents were in the club or you fit a quota.

To incentivize the program, judges are appointed for no more than 3 month terms - too short to get bought, and the pay is what judges currently get for that term. Anyone who doesn't want it can opt out.

We can start by selecting the judge candidates from the unemployment rosters.

As for President Obama, I'm going to allow him as much time as I gave W. I don't really understand the political workings at that level so I have to trust that the distinguished sucker does.

The writing was on the wall for W by the end of 2002; I gave him until 2004 to see his errors & adjust his strategy, but he didn't, which is when I blacklisted him for good.

I am willing to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt until June 2011, unless he does something extraordinarily massive & stupid. Until then I am optimistic that He & Ram will kick ass & things will improve consistently, beginning late this year.

When Saint Nicholas comes around to celebrate the torture & crucifixtion of the Prince of Peace.

Academic analysis of the 9/11 event

ZenGrouch said...

I watched the first minute or so of the video before realizing that it was total horse shit. Two and a half year old horse shit at that...

This fool uses logic to decide that 9-11 was a conspiracy.

OK...

Then he goes on to say that because it was a conspiracy, the U.S. government should study "conspiracy theory".

Well pardon me, but let the wack jobs study theory, I'd prefer that the government study the FACTS OF 9-11, IN ORDER TO COME TO SOME KIND OF ACCURATE FACTUAL CONCLUSION!

There are some unbelievably fucking stupid people out there...

...and organizations like the 9-11 conspiracy groups, Scientology and the Republican Party cash in on these ignorant assholes.

ZenGrouch said...

Oh...

Don't go away mad.

Maher is an entertainer. As such, he can't afford to alienate half of his potential audience, or he'll be preaching to a much smaller group of political humor enthusiast.

So, no matter who is in the White House, he has to keep a fire under his/her ass.

How funny would it be if he came on stage every Friday night with nothing but accolades for Obama?

That's the formula for a career twisting on down the shitter...

Anonymous said...

I thought it took the guy 5 minutes to warm up to his topic. Why don't you skip to the middle of the vid & watch a few minutes, then decide.

The pentagon research is damning.

As for accolades for Obama, if he continues to follow W's sociopathic agenda and doesn't get us out of these untelevised false flag wars ASAP then he's just another stooge.

Iran? Titter? Given a month & 2 VR pros from George Lucas I'm pretty sure I could stage the illusion of a revolution - or some other alrmist propaganda - on the internet. Telecomm is whitewash since Edison; I need confirmation from someone outside the system.

So, whats the status on the war crimes investigation of Bush et alia?

ZenGrouch said...

I don't know if you're talking to me Bud, but if you are...

If the guy's logic was all fucked up from the start, what makes you believe his thinking abilities, would improve with time?

Why should I take him seriously, or posters who can't decide on a single moniker?

Hello Bill,

You are coming to my town on November 14, I got my tickets yesterday. I can hardly wait to hear you in person......

dweebisis said...

i think it's pretty naive for bill maher to keep talking about how monogamy is against nature in human society. monogamy, albeit not necessararily in all relationships, is a key component to the structure of society. without it, the world would be in more chaos along with more severe over population issues. bill maher is a narcissist like a lot of us, if not most. and for those who are more narcy over certain matters and who may cry the loudest - while popular - may not necessarily be reasonable or right over what they're professing. that and most men rather be in monogamous relationships. there are more biological and societal benefits for this. that, and bill, keep in mind, this is not the discovery channel.

wow. just happend to surf hbo some more and just now tuned into a conversation between bill maher and larry king [episode 157].
the conversation that i just tuned into was about larry king's age, and how bill was amazed and offended that age is so important in this society.

didn't i just watch a comedy show about bill trying to tell women that the only thing that matters to men are the OLD and the NEW?

so. yeah.
where are any of you as fans - or not - reminding this jack ass bout calling the kettle black...or white rice calling a pin worm a honkey.

what is wrong with you people?
it's called keeping it real people. not just being jaded and zombied polically incorrect fans. wake up.

we all need to keep in mind to REMIND people including celebs that they are hypocrites sometimes. it helps maintain truth. i get called a hypocrite all the time. so what about the likes of bill maher? the fu*k is so special about this ugly little pestulant? stop laughing, i'm being serious!

Yeah...

Good and Evil are different, but the same thing...

I promise, I will leave and quit asking but,

Do you want Good or Evil to take over our Country, Planet or Being...doesn't matter...

Good is all that matters!


Zen, you have to go a screw things up so, I'll ask:


You want to live in Good or Evil for Eternity?

ZenGrouch said...

If I believed in Heaven and Hell, it would make no difference to me where I spent eternity.

Check it out...

*THEY* say that we must experience evil on Earth in order to understand good, right?

That's the standard answer when we ask why god allows bad things to happen to good people.

OK, so, if we need to know one in order to know the other, as in Good and Evil...

Then if you were immersed in one over the other after a period of, say, 10,000 years, which is a blink of the eye, when compared to eternity, then one would forget all about the other, good or evil.

So... if we need to know good in order to understand evil, then after 10,000 years we'd forget all about good, therefore, evil would be meaningless or the same as good, if you need one to know the other.

Therefore, good and evil are different but the same, as are heaven and hell.

I think this would be good for the country.

I think ending the CIA and reducing the NSA budget to 10% of what it is would be good for the country.

I think restoring the Peace Corp and making college free for citizens of all ages would be good for the country.

I think prosecuting corrupt politicians (even if they are 80 years old) and executing traitors would improve the quality of people seeking public office. I would gladly flip the switch myself. Take my picture, I want to show my friends!

I think reversing the Bush policies of the last 55 years is necessary for the future of this period of enlightenment.

I think if we invested as much in energy research as we have in killing innocents for W, we could resolve the toxic aspects of atomic energy and develop solar energy the the degree that we could offer unlimited free energy to everyone in the world, solving all the problems... except for sociopaths, whom we can humanely institutionalize & sterilize,

- for the good of all humanity.

I'm guessing no matter what I write here, you aren't inclined to try and understand my point of view.

So, what say we flip to the last page, and give us the answer to your question?

Anonymous said...

I was not arguing with you.

You probably don't really want an answer to that question. Its easier to just be.

What is it to be born?

I believe that my being here is part of something humans do not yet comprehend, the understanding of which would explain life, reality and imagination.

To live in harmony with the natural course is to not be a cancer to the true order of things.

Human governance in no way resembles the natural order, and our best scientific comprehension falls far short of describing it. But I also believe that the potential to understand it is intrinsic to our being.

I believe that I am an integral part of what you call the universe, and that everything that the universe is in my being. I am an iteration of a self similar pattern, that repeats in both directions, in & out.

So my imagination and feeling is as much an aspect of reality as a star or a rock.

Everything is the way it is supposed to be. When we defy it we subjectively think otherwise. Blame whatever or whoever you want, but it is our understanding and our actions that are out of sync, not reality.

In the immediate present spacetime we do influence each other. Some influences produce negative consequences for others; these are undesirable. Others are good beyond comprehension, but even these good things can be misused to great harm.

Sometimes it is not best to share what we have discovered with those brutes who will only use the capabilities the knowledge brings to destroy.

We are not all evolving at the same pace, and mostly this is because society evolves far slower than individuals.

I can go on but thats enough for now.

ZenGrouch said...

"There is more to this life and we do not live in fear everyday of our enemies for nothing!..."

Are you saying fear serves some sort of function to those who it is instilled upon?

Fear is a powerful tool used by people, one might consider evil, to control the weak minded.

If you can accept that evil and good aren't always black and white, then you'll better be able to distinguish between rational fear, and the fear used to control your thoughts and actions.

The fear of what others tell us is "evil" is usually the latter sort of fear.

I do not live in fear everyday. I have no enemies and W's enemies are not my enemies.

I stopped experiencing fear a long time ago. When confronted with a life threatening situation I try plan A, then plan B, then plan C etc. until the situation is handled or happens, in which case I am all fucked up. I became this way from facing numersous life threatening situations.

Being afraid doesn't help and the only thing it changes is that it impairs your ability to perform.

"Everything is the way it is supposed to be..."

If I'm hearing you, you would be in agreement with my opinion that there is no good or evil...

...only the forces of nature, which include the actions of man.

Sooner or later, man will fuck up the planet to the point where it can no longer support human life.

Not a problem, the Earth will heal itself as it has in the past, when dealing with the forces of nature.

If galaxies containing planets inhabited with intelligent life collide, and in the process eliminate advanced lifeforms we can't even comprehend, is this force of nature either good or evil?

Go with the flow, or get the fuck out of my way...

It appears that you're really married to the idea of good vs evil, and have drawn the lines.

I am not the board.

Everyone doesn't believe the same thing.

People aren't either good or evil.

And we fight because things piss us off. Because nobody is purely good or evil, not everything that pisses us off is always good or evil.

I don't have to calm down Zen - I'm not worked up, so don't try to make me look like the idiot.

I asked a simple question, if you are here for nothing, then why fight?

Anonymous said...

Yup, life has its own direction and we should get with the flow.

Life is a function of the universe. It is everywhere. since we experience self awareness then this too is an aspect of the universe: life elsewhere will evolve through similar stages of consciousness.

When Chirstians talk about souls I think 'cells'. The pattern is demonstrated in living organisms. no one cell is the one cell upon which the whole depends. If we get wiped out as a planet, there are other life bearing planets that will continue to evolve.

If we destroy ourselves, thats analogous to cancer. Our inability to cooperate and steward the planet we are the obvious masters of indicates this is a likely future. But like an organism, the whole will not fail unless a majority of the constituent lifeforms also fail.

From what I can see, the natural order loves to fuck & play and the lower orders are where volence is necessary.

This model includes a correct direction. We should be seeking out the best and brightest and learning from them. When we are on course in our lives we have a sense of well being, self actualization and feel good will toward others. This is the right course.

Everything is constantly changing. Adapt or you may die; most just complain bitterly & blame others...

That would explain the similar character flaws.

ZenGrouch said...

Sorry, meant no offense...

To answer your question, again I think, there are things that are neither evil or good, and both evil and good, that just piss me off.

I'm human, to be pissed is human.

Being pissed can motivate us to go off and fight.

I haven't really given much thought time to understanding this concept, and if being pissed and hateful are the same or different.

But we are humans, an imperfect animal, driven by the forces of nature.

We try and explain our existence, rather than go with the flow of it.

To believe *WE* have the absolute answers, and feel we need to force these beliefs on others, well, this pisses me off.

"Is that what you are? Nothing?..."

Once again, it seems that you aren't really understanding where I'm coming from, and automatically equate my logic with *nothingness* or trudging through life for *nothing*, because you see life as black and white, good vs evil.

I lived life as a good Republican Christian, referring to Democrats as Demoskanks...

...then I transcended the fear associated with questioning beliefs, when doubt could send one's immortal soul to hell, and learned to think for myself, and seek an understanding of the energy I believe to be what one would think of as God.

Is that evil?

Is it good to pick a religion that tells you to believe in that and only that religion (eg Catholicism) or burn in Hell, motivated by fear?

During the bad times I'd deal with murder at least every working day for weeks at a time. I went from wanting to cry all the time to being indifferent to the victims and family, and back. Wicked fucked roller coaster.

I wish there were a reason for everything, but I've come to the conclusion that there isn't.

We're driven by the forces of nature. Fortunately, the forces drive us in a *good* direction, allowing us to evolve.

My god, allows the universal laws of physics to keep the works form imploding in on itself, while pushing everything in a good direction, allowing hydrogen to be formed from the big bang, then allowing stars to build other atoms, then us.

But my god doesn't give a flying fuck about our personal lives.

That's up to the great force/push of nature to control.

Prayer produces nothing, there are no miracles, Jesus was just a nice guy.

Man is good and evil, and there are no answers to the personal questions of *why?*

Let all that shit go, and it becomes clear and easier.

I can debate, I can come out of the box cussin...

If the Christian God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus, made themselves obvious and personal to so many people, who I consider to be deluded...

Life is good when we learn to cherish and love it...along with everyone who inhabits it!



One final note Zen, I could never understand why God/Jesus never sent a sign to me but, until recently, I discovered he works thru people of all forms, lives and beliefs!

I don't really think he expects all of us to bow down to him as some do but, rather believe that he exist and life will continue after all of this crap going on.

He knows we are not a perfect being, I know I'm not for sure!

Long story warning IT...

But I'll try and keep it short.

Go into a bar where one guy runs away another is on the floor bleeding out the hole in his chest.

I have my rookie chase down the stabber and check out the guy on the floor, who is now dead from a wound to the heart. I start CPR using a method I developed, taking artificial respiration from the Boy Scouts, and substitute that for mouth to mouth, cuz these fuckers are all crawling with disease.

Right then Fr. Rodgers shows up and asks if he can help. I tell him he can do mouth to mouth if he'd like. He gives me a look like, "Get your mother to give this dead fuck mouth to mouth." and proceeds to give him last rights.

Flashback: In a previous life I studied meditation, and practiced it, to the point where I could immerse myself in a universal energy that emanated from my jaw. It was a powerful thing.

So, Rodgers is giving last rights I'm pumping his ribs and sternum, when I'm overwhelmed by the exact energy field centered at my jaw, but encircling the padre and the dead guy, when blood starts shooting out the hole in his chest. So, I stuff my bandanna into the hole and keep it up till the ambulance showed up.

Guy died an hour later, but this was when I was still a Christian and believed that he came back to receive his last rights, and all that malarkey.

Who the fuck knows.

But anyway, from that I know that there is an energy that we're all a part of.

Saw it in my dad's eyes, years later at the exact moment of his death, when his eyes that had been hazed for days, turned bright blue as he stared up unafraid, and bingo, just a body left behind.

There's something there, and too many people try and explain it, like they know what's going on.

Some even try and cash in on it.

But the thing that chaffs my hide is the way Christians use hell as a scare tactic.

And you gotta admit that there are a lot of Christians out there, preaching hate rather than love, with no other Christians willing to stand up for what is right.

Same thing with people who say there is no god and that's that.

They know as much about the afterlife as Christians, so they have no room to scorn others for their beliefs.

They DO however have the right to make fun of others for beliefs that fly in the face of science, and science is a small part of my god.

That which is provable and real, moves to the head of the class, over some crap people wrote thousands of years ago.

We are killing each other over religion.

The crazy fucking Jews in Israel believe they have every right to do whatever they please, BECAUSE THEY ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE?!

Pardon me, but there's no room for that kind of fucked up logic in the 21st Century.

And the really crazy thing is, that WE as a country are backing 'em up, because of hateful bible thumping morons, who forgot all about what it was that Jesus taught.

For example...

Back in the day where I believed, I was meditating and in a plane where a question came to me, "How would you feel if you knew you just died, and the first person you saw was Hitler?"

Of course I knew the answer right away.

But when I put it to other good Christians, and gave them my answer they all, and it was a lot of people, told me I was sick and fucked up and what not.

But I was just going by the word of Jesus, when I thought, "I'd feel great knowing that the power of forgiveness was so great that even Hitler could repent and get into heaven."

And why wouldn't Jesus have it that way?

But no... I saw too much hate in Christians. And too much showboating. Not much logic, and no personal examination free from fear.

A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, "God , I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."

God led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.

In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.

They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

God said, "You have seen Hell."

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.

There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.

The people were equiped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand."

"It is simple", said God. "It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."

ZenGrouch has left a new comment on the post "QUOTES FROM “REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER" - MAY 29 2...":

Long story warning IT...
===================================

When we leave religion we under go a spiritual healing.. We are born spiritual emotional mental and physical. Our minds work to balance the physical life and the unseen not quite understood life. The spirit. emotionally we are affected by both. The problem were we as people get bogged down is when we heal spiritually we become connected to the living earth through nature.. We can't help but feel the greatness, the vastness of it all. Where our societies fail us today is that they never allow it to be called what it is, Nature or the Living earth. We are limited to calling IT, God. something mysterious, something unknowable. Nature is neither mysterious or unknowable, in fact when you see it, it beckons you to know it.

Christianity and Their god concept, worship have long fought our understanding of Nature. So much so that gravity .. although can easily be proven by dropping something, needed a mathematical calculation to be given credibility. Today evolution is being pushed through the same scrutiny.. christians won't be happy until humans can express evolution with the same precise degree as a mathematical formula. The problem begins when nature and life stop being able to be expressed that way. People have to begin to accept that visual proof is enough. Other wise we shall live in total ignorance and as generations before us raise our children in the same absolute ignorance. Nature simply needs acceptance to be seen. once seen understanding become more easy.

my story is long and complicated but i must try to convey my distress as short as i can. i was in a work related accident 15 years ago. i had a sewer van eject and then land on me wile avoiding a collision on the highway. I was severely injured brain damage, broken bone and many other sever injures. i was let out of a hospital and told to return to work no compensation. left to my own and told the pain i still had was a lie . there was nothing wrong with me but i continued to try and get help left to deal with it myself the only relief i could find was pot.Then they put me in jail for smoking it ,getting more sever every time i was busted until they took the tax payers money to put me in prison for 5 years where i had no new med. help and left to my pain Finely a chiropractor found 3 fist size tumors rubbing on my spine. Finely a Doc.pulled them out leaving me with real painful scar tissue that will never heal and rub on my spine until i die. They give me morphine percuset and tons of pain killer now but no pot and i lost my help from housing (and countless other programs to support myself and son) because i smoked pot. Are u being protected this way? Is this war on drugs about the drugs? Or just a way to control us? Do u realize how much money u spent on putting me in jail?What if u where me?

ZenGrouch said...

"What if u where me?..."

I've dealt with more attempted suicides that I care to remember, because I was so good at talking to crazy fucks.

But one day I got the the point where I told this asshole that was spraying me with blood coming out of his wrists, after I got him stabilized and talking, that if I'd lived his life, I would have killed myself years earlier. I then showed him the proper way to slash his wrists for the next attempt, slicing up the forearms so they can't stop the bleeding.

Weeks later he approached me and said that his shrinkologist said he should thank me for the reverse psychology, and how his life was much better.

I told him that I wasn't kidding, and if my life was half as fucked as his, I'd step in front of a god damned bus.

He left laughing, thinking I was kidding.

Sometimes suicide is the only solution.

If you're suffering that bad, just end it all.

What are you hanging on to?

Just hit that reset switch and maybe you'll come back as a cute little kitten!

DO NOT CALL 973-409-3274
The only legitimate tie it seemed to have were claims that it was backed by/associated with Change.org. Thus, the only logical thing to do was to contact Change.org for clarification. I just got this response:

Thanks for the note, Eric. We are in no way connected to the phone number you mentioned, and it also looks very much like a scam to us. We would really appreciate it if you would update your blog to let your readers know about this, as well as anyone else who may have been spreading the rumor that this is a legitimate number/operation, which it is almost certainly not. We will also try to write a blog post about it tomorrow clarifying things if we can find the time.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention,
Ben Rattray
Founder and CEO, Change.org

Everything was pointing at “scam”, but this severs the last bit of potential legitimacy that the number had.
So please, DO NOT CALL 973-409-3274 as it appears to be a type of scam to either harvest phone numbers or even potentially charge you money by hitting the pound key (which would be the equivalent of you accepting charges).
STOP sharing this phone number as well. I literally sit and watch person after person share this on twitter thinking they are helping the cause when in reality they are just helping these scammers reach new victims. If you have shared this link, please post this update to let others know to keep an eye on their phone bill for any unauthorized charges.

Bill, im well aware you will never read this comment but i hope i can generate some kind of following in attempting to persuade you to withdraw your support for Israel. You cannot POSSIBLY consider yourself of left ideologies and support such a blatantly right wing state. Much like your not so much obvious support of the British, yes they have free health care, but are also a right wing state.. You mentioned once that the IRA was a terrorist group, you clearly have little understanding of left wing politics here in Ireland, as your nation itself is colonial it may not bother you that the British invaded my country took away my peoples rights and heritage and even prosecuted them for it, much like MIA said on your programme, it IS ALWAYS THE BRITS! The difference is every other country in the world got their state back apart from Scotland Wales and Ireland and the same kind of thing is happening today in palestine.. i cannot condone the Palestinians actions in full but certainly Israel is at fault in this instance and you of all people should understand that. Apart from these two issues your ideologies are identical to mine, you have educated me on left wingism in the US and i hope i have helped you understand it in Ireland and Palestine, anyone else who feels you bare a conservative attitude in these instances should join me in calling you to change your stance.. Go raibh maith agat

I could be wrong, but from what I've heard from people working there...

...if you aren't a pro-Zionist, you're going to have a difficult time finding work in Hollywood.

People can't quite seem to see the difference in being against a racists state, filled with loons who believe they're God's chosen people, over ALL others...

...and a religion.

Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism are two totally different animals!

There are RABBIS who are anti-Zionists. And they probably can't find work in Hollywood either.

Shooting a 19 year old kid in the head is an act of terrorist intimidation on the level of street gangs. You know they're desperate when they roll out the tanks & militia, until then this is just business as usual on the dark side of politics.

If the CIA was worth anything we would have the means to exorcise any of these thugs; instead the huge budget - our tax dollars at work - is aimed at US.

If you were asking for my opinion, I might not be the right person. The only time I see RealTime is when I go to the studio to sit in the audience, since I don't have cable. Great free entertainment on a Friday night.

That's the magic word, "entertainment." Mr. Maher is an entertainer, attempting to reach as big an audience as possible, while alienating as few people as possible.

I've been a Maher fan for a while. But I don't see him as someone with all the answers.

If he can make you think without agreeing with you, that's cool too.

Sure, most of the time he makes sense, and explains things in a funny way, but I do believe his main motivation in life, isn't to be a role model or some kind of teacher. His main reason, post probably, is to make as big a chunk o' cheese as humanly possible.

If he can do it, while saying what's honestly on his mind, over 50% of the time, that's cool.

If he has to sway with the wind in order to keep the cheese makers happy, by respecting their poll information, and trying to keep people happy, that he might not bother with, if it weren't for all that tasty cheese, that's cool too.

There are varying degrees of accepting and communicating thoughts you may not believe in your heart and mind, from 'Playing the devil's advocate' to 'Selling Out'.

I take it you see Mr. Maher as being on the Sell Out side of this spectrum, and who knows. I guess you'd have to be Maher to know for sure.

So, no matter where he is on this spectrum, that's pretty much his business, since I don't believe he's out there selling his ideas as the gospel, like that tub o' shit Limbaugh.

I could be wrong on this one, but I have a feeling that a second after Maher made his comment about us being the cowards, re: 9-11, he regretted it. But it was out there, so he had to embrace his words.

The guy's eloquent, if he would have given a second of thought to what he said, he could have communicated exactly what he meant without pissing off most of the country.

NOW, if he were to say anything against the State of Israel, if he were to actually believe that they have been responsible for wrongs in the past and to this day, I'm bettin' he learned his lesson and would speak his mind in a much more, and almost sanitized way.

Because, if he were to piss off the rabidly pro-Zionist, there would be no uproar, no free publicity, just another show on HBO in the place of RealTime.

Bill would probably have to move to Canada if he ever wanted another television show.

Would I like to see Maher speak what's really on his mind 100% of the time.

Sure...

Do I want him to pay the consequences of being honest...

Nope!

Do I think him a sell out...

Nope!

I think of myself as honest, but that may be a major factor for me being a failure as a business guy.

Being honest, really gets in the way, when you work for others. I think people would rather hire crazy fucks, rather than honest people. Crazy is easier to deal with.

Anyway, that's my way. If others choose a different way to get by, that's their deal. Besides, when judged by society on the standard scales of success/failure. Look at where the honest folks are.

I should probably proof read this ramble, but don't feel like it, so I hope this makes some kind of sense.

A bit to direct and assertive for the panel...

Gypsy said...

ZenGrouch.. Re:Ramble...


When I was a child I was punished for being honest.. It seems to me many of us are. And as we grow up and hold onto our honesty, we are called failures.. What I learned about myself is that it is a symptom of something wrong with them not something wrong with me. They are the failures, they might have the money,they might have the power but THEY are still the failures.. When I first saw Bill Maher's work about 15 years ago.. I said I like it.. Un appoligetic honesty.. honesty does not mean right or wrong. it just means here is where I stand. When I see bill Maher hitting on the head great problems in society that we have to hear about.. Because honest people can't help but run into he wrongs in society.. THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THEM NOT US THE HONEST ONES.. It is simply good to see an honest human getting a say. And perhaps not all is lost. I encourage Mr Maher to keep on flapping his gums.. to keep on saying it the way he sees it.. to keep on being unapoligetic for his HONESTY.

How to not commit adultery: 1. don't get married. If its too late 2. get a divirce. 3. Have an open relationship; thats a lot harder to maintain than you would think.

The point is these guys lied to their wives. If this is how they treat their personal responsibilities then what remorse would they feel ripping off the anonymous citizens they are supposed to represent? Especially since they rig the criminal justice system to get off? Wouuld they do better if we prosecuted them like other RICO violators, into the same dungeons?

I want you to see this movement from another point of view. As much i HATE to admit but this movement has noting to do with people of Iran. This is a battle between two group of power holders of government that their clash end up to this movement. Supreme leader side (Supreme leader, Ahmadinejad, Mesbah Yazdi, ...) would LIKE a change. Opposing side do NOT want the change. The only issue here is Supreme leader side they want to change the "Islamic Republic of Iran" to "State of Islamic fairness
government" and other party is trying to keep it I.R.Iran. Difference is in their definition. In I.R.Iran leader "should" be picked by people. In "State of Islamic fairness Government" Supreme Leader will be picked by group of good/god scared people like "assembly of experts". In this way no one can "middling" in supreme leaders' decisions.

Yes, there are several inconsitantcies in the Bible.

1) Jesus' Genealogy does not match up in the gospels. A big No No for the Messiah.
2) Satan and Jesus are both called Morning Star(oops!).
3) Jesus did not meet the Messanic requirements. He was not of the bloodline of David because Joseph was not his biological father.
4) Also, where the gentile scriptures say a, "virgin will give birth" the word virgin is incorrectly translated from the original language which reads a young woman/maiden will give birth.

One thing I have noticed since leaving Christianity is the lack of research Christians do before determining Jesus the Son of God. I honestly believe from what I witnessed in the church that Christians do more research on their mortgages than they do on the Bible or even Jesus.

Bill, I am writing a book about how I went from judgemental, narrow minded Evangelical Fundi to peaceful, loving and accepting Agnostic. I need a platform, help!

ZenGrouch said...

Thought of this one last night. Well, I'm sure someone else thought of it first, but, I don't recall ever hearing this asked before, so here goes.

If the coming of Jesus was so well documented in the Old Testament, with Christians of today pointing to scriptures saying, "Ah HA! Here it is! Proof!" how come the Jews of the time, totally missed it?

I mean they were waiting for this coming for a while, weren't they?

Why couldn't they read the signs?

Wise Guys from the Orient saw the signs, so how in the fuck did the Jews totally blow it, then kill the guy?

Were they pissed at their own ignorance and getting rid of the evidence?

Gypsy said...

Everything in nature can be explained logically, rationally, and is simple enough for 4 year old to understand.. Why is it then that it does not become the standard of understanding against the religions and their superstition.. BECAUSE RELIGIONS WHO DEMAND BLIND FAITH PUT UPON TRUTH A BURDEN OF PROOF BEYOND REASONABILITY. AND THEY HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR CENTURIES..

example of what I mean about nature being put to an unreasonable standard against religious blind faith... GRAVITY, now to explain gravity i would simply drop an object and say see this is gravity. the standard against nature is so high that despite the proof i offer by dropping an object and every time and every object falls to the ground that gravity is still being called a theory. Gravity to be accepted as a law of nature had to be given a mathematical calculation. That is what they call science.
When we speak of evolution we have the most obvious example at our disposal, monkey and man
that every human blood test needs to match before evolution can move forward is insane

that god is accepted yt disproven time and time again but nature that we come to know gets labelled as theory eternally till it can be proven in every molecule of the planet to serve the denial of religion is insane.

Le Morte de Michel

Michael Jackson felt dizzy and drifted off to sleep. When he woke up he was on the set of Thriller with Satan. He wondered aloud, "How did I get here?"

The Devil appeared. "You died, Michael. I'm Satan. This is the Temple of Doom... its where I hang out."

Michael asked, "Am I condemned to Hell?"

"No Michael, you're free to come and go as you please, you can even go back to earth if you want. You'll have to start over, of course. Dad's rule. You aren't here to be punished, I just love your music. I want you to do shows for me. I'll grant you anything you wish. Here in Hell we celebrate life by living. Up in Heaven they celebrate by endlessly crying, spying, lying and trying to rip each other off. I only fuck with people who make life miserable for others, like W."

Michael eyed The Devil. "I thought you would be white."

"I have a rare skin disease" muttered Beezlebub, Lord of the hoary hosts, studying a piece of stage near his feet, where Mr. Bubbles was chasing Farah, a raging purple woody gyrating wildly between his knees, as he leapt after her.

"Mr. Bubbles!" exclaimed Michael. "Is he here already?"

"I got him for you", said Satan. "But he's here to stay. He had impure thoughts, he hates everyone and wants to kill humanity."

Satan leaned close. "In fact, his offspring are going to rise up and enslave mankind in the next 60 years. I got the idea from Roddy McDowell. Dad has no idea..."

"Searves 'em right. Lets play!" exclaimed Michael. Music became to play, as he sprouted an enormous purple root...

Good and Evil,,, how is one to tell the difference. You see Micheal Jackson was evil. He went around playing the role of the good guy. He kept trying to impress everyone with his greatness. Yet he was a pitiful blood sucking spiritual vampire. The pope functions exactly the same way. there are many Americans sitting on the fence. The USA hurting so many in it's vain attempts to rule the world. Not so long ago I saw how no American was trusted, between the lies, the spin, the religions, the murder, the wars, Today the pendulum of judgement crosses the country. Like an axe of judgement. More Deaths like Farrah and Jackson are coming. David Carradine is another, how many more deaths will be needed before America will see it's own evil. Some times I think Bill Maher sees it.. and he is trying to do what he can to warn USA..But then the USA is as Arrogant and ignorant as Micheal Jackson himself. Because of American bad Karma most of it's people are condemned. Gypsy

I know none of you give a rat's ass about my opinion but, he did "open" doors for MTV, future Pop Stars, breaking the racial barrier in Music and he was the King of Pop as Elvis was the King of Rock!

But, I forgot, Respect for "anything" doesn't exist on this site!

Just be sure to give your user name to a family member so, just in case you die tomorrow, I can bash and trash you!

If you don't know the truth personally? What gives you the right to judge?


Oh, I forgot...everyone on here is their Own God of Knowledge!

Hell, even Bill Maher defended him!

The guy slept with little boys, and defended those actions!

He squirreled the kids away in a special *no adults allowed* secret room.

A child was able to give the police an accurate description of his aroused penis.

He dangles babies from balconies.

He purchased his children.

Lightening the color of your skin doesn't make you able to knock out blond haired blue eyed babies.

He had a lot of help in his creative endeavors, but took all credit when possible.

He most likely died because he's an even bigger Oxycontin abuser that that other freak, Rush.

He tires of boys once they get too old, like around 12.

This guy is a pedophile.

Plain and simple.

Have I seen him sucking off little boys?

No...

Did O.J. really murder 2 innocent people?

People are crazy.

People who offered up their little boys to Michael, most likely knew what was going on, but what the hey, IT'S MICHAEL FREAKIN' JACKSON!

So what if he was different from you or me? That doesn't mean he was Evil or a Child molester.

Yes, he made mistakes, haven't you? The difference is, you are not a household Icon with tons of money!

Nobody has the right to judge or claim they know everything when they don't!

For all I know, you are a Serial Rapist, Murdering Pervert!

And by the way, he did have a skin disease called "vitiligo"!

You know Zen and Gypsy....the out-pour of sadness and Love for him completely out-way the 2 of yours opinions of him.

So...I don't give a rat's ass about what you think!

To sum it up and shut me up:

"Millions" around the "world" are mourning him!

""Millions" around the "world" are mourning him!..."

Whatever...

There are a ton of Christians out there too.

That doesn't mean that Jesus was the son of god, or that there is a god who sits in judgment of us, watching our every little move, condemning us to hell if we don't follow the Catholic way.

Someone who should know, is his ex-wife Lisa Marie. I like her, and believe what she says to be true, and I've seen her on TV more than once referring to her ex-husband as "a little freak!"

My God Zen!

Are you even human?

Respond all you want God Zen, I'm out for awhile!

If you could read, the world would be a better place:






Lisa Marie recalls her conversation with Michael on her MySpace.com blog, writing:

"At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.' I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that."

Lisa Marie goes on to write about her pain upon hearing the news, and declares that her marriage with Jackson was not "a sham," and she likens the tragic news to the loss of her father in 1977:

"A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy. All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted. I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once. Our relationship was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much. I wanted to 'save him.' I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then. At that time, in trying to save him, I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated. When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad. Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions. I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

"After the divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now. As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play.

"The exact scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted. Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together. I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is. The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right. I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Re: Lisa Marie's commentary about Micheal Jackson.. Saving him was like trying to save the devil himself, Micheal Jackson was the leach, was the vampire, he hung around the rich and famous to suck the life and creativity from their bones if he could... Everything Micheal Jackson was was a copy of someone greater, while he drained them of their energy and talent. He plagiarized, deceived, molested and controlled many.. She says she tried to save him from the fate she said he and she knew would befall him. He was trying to beat the rap, beat the karmic judgement. Just like he beat the child molestation charges, by playing the game of the victim. Just like when a husband brings his wife jewels after a beating, he paid off parents and a nation who refused to see the player, the deceiver, the devil Micheal Jackson chose to be.... He was spoiled, vicious and conniving as a child, he played that role to the end. He just had a way of buying people's blindness.

I,m going to have to read my e_mail in the opposite order to be able to answer in the right order... the love you call it pouring out of Micheal Jackson was a scam, he was playing the public.

He was a freak, plotting, strategies, he wanted, money, power and fame and would do anything to get it, screw, hurt, anyone.. He was a liar, a fraud. He practiced every game in the book to hide his evil little tracts, sucked the devil himself dry. He's dead, hurray, hurray the damn cheating lying bastard is dead. Gypsy

Holy crap!

I will not dignify that to a response.

Are you Osama, because I don't think Cave's get a T.V. reception or magazines, newspapers for that fact delivered there?


Again I will state:

I don't give a Rat's Ass what you think!
