POPSConnection between homosexuality and pedophilia Ok, I am happily herto. What really gets me is how anyone could be so deluded. This is wrong,people. I understand the thinking behind it because I understand religious idea surrounding homosexuality. What I don't understand is the willingness to create hostility, hate and discontent. Especially from a religion that is supposed to represent love and forgiveness. A pedophile's thinking is damaged. To say that homosexual behavior is linked to pedophilia is saying that homosexual's are damaged. The gall of some people under the name of God is damaged. We should all be angry over this. It is an attemt to get biased, bigotry into laws. Perhaps they should pray for a little compassion and understanding and keep the laws neutral

POPS"The Perfect Dhimmi" the rest: " No word on whether it features a Mohammed collection, but, in musing on "formerly colonized states claiming back their treasures from the erstwhile masters," there is this small but perfect gem: Do the Elgin Marbles, removed from the Athens Parthenon, belong in the new Greek building ....? And what is that elegant head of Queen Nefertiti doing in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin? Shouldn’t she join her relatives in Cairo? The European museums know full well that much of their fame rests on the possession of these fine objects and without them they would be left with only a few local finds.

POPSObama Nobel Acceptance Shite
Paleontologists generally trace the arrival of modern man, homo sapiens, back 200,000 years, yet the first authenticated written histories are barely 2,400 years old. How Obama and his speechwriters filled in the 197,600-year gap to prove that the practice of war is as old as mankind and implicitly inseparable from the human condition is a question an enterprising reporter might venture to ask at the next presidential press conference. Perhaps delusions of omniscience is the answer. The Oslo speech is replete with references to and appropriations of the attributes of divinity. And to historical and anthropological fatalism; a deeply pessimistic concept of Providence. Obama affirmed that "no Holy War can ever be a just war. For if you truly believe that you are carrying out divine will, then there is no need for restraint." Then shortly afterward stated "Let us reach for the world that ought to be - that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls." An adversary'

POPSProper Shelving If you wanted a roadmap of Sarah Palin's delusions, then it's a good source, but if you want something where she blames everyone but herself for all her failings, then don't waste your money. Stephen Colbert had a good idea, though. Glue all the pages of it together, and hollow it out to hide your valuables in. Guaranteed, no one with any intelligence will look inside.

POPSMental stress I cannot agree with some blogs about the causes of so much stress for soldiers, but I wholehearted concur that any compensation is derisory. Whenever I am almost convinced, some former pongo comes on the TV and tells the world how hard he had it in the Falklands when he never stepped ashore except on a stretcher. What about the views of the other ten thousand or so who walked ashore despite their injuries yet remain silent? And they actually did fight for the islands. Not that that is my gripe. When I listened to a CSM from 45 Commando tell an audience that the training today is as hard as it ever was I cringed. Whoever allowed the training syllabus to be changed to reflect that of the army ought to be guillotined alongside most Ministers of Defence. So much of the stress factor can be eliminated in training, but Health and Safety has put a kybosh on all that.

POPSNot a comeback The Republicans are just as pathetic today, as they were a week ago. Americans are just saying that they're disgusted with both parties, and local issues mean more to them than party affiliations. But I suppose if the GOP don't have their delusions, they've got nothing whatsoever.

POPSJust a couple of words that speack on their own I've been responsible for hiring and overseeing the development of people in my corporate days and must confess that I've never seen any of these comments, but apparently, they have been taken from actual employee appraisals. Enjoy!

POPSChildren Who Suffered Bullying Are More Likely To Develop Psychotic Symptoms In Early Adolescence A study including 6,437 early adolescents with an average age of 12.9 was carried out by Andrea Schreier, Ph.D., and his colleagues of The Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick, Coventry, England. The children participated in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Questionnaires were regularly sent by mail to parents concerning their child's physical condition and progress since birth. Beginning at the age of seven, the children were submitted to physical and psychological evaluations on a yearly basis. During the yearly visits, they were rated by skilled interviewers on whether during the preceding six months they had experienced hallucinations, delusions, thought disorders or any other psychotic symptoms. Peer victimization is defined as harmful actions and unfair treatment by one or several other students with purpose to harm. Children, parents and teachers were required to account on whether the child had suffered such oppression.

POPSIsrael FM: "Peace a Delusion." Israel has no intention of freezing the expansion of it's settlements into Palestinian territory and no intention of dividing or "sharing," Jerusalem. It never has. That should be clear by now and in this clip it's repeated.

POPS10 Reasons to Meet Your Shadow Self Carl Jung, the famous Swiss Psychoanalyst, introduced the concept of the "shadow" side of our personalities. This darker aspect of our selves are the parts we do not like and reject, hide or deny. Others can often see them but we either cannot or choose not to. When we do this, according to Jung, we become imbalanced and suffer. To quote wikipedia: "Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. He cautioned that modern people rely too heavily on science and logic and would benefit from integrating spirituality and appreciation of unconscious realms. He considered the process of individuation necessary for a person to become whole. This is a psychological process of integrating the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining conscious autonomy. Individuation was the central concept of analytical psychology. " Read the 10 reasons to meet your shadow self, from the blog "GoodBlogging", and find your balance in life and relationships:

POPSSense of identity What researchers are finding is that there is no single “identity spot” in the brain. Instead, the brain uses several different neural regions, working closely together, to sustain and update the identities of self and others. Learning what makes identity, researchers say, will help doctors understand how some people preserve their identities in the face of creeping dementia, and how others are sometimes able to reconstitute one.

POPSThe Delusions of Eric Allie 1) It's already been confirmed that the CIA lied about briefing Pelosi and other Congressmen about waterboarding, so this is a strawman. 2) Companies putting profits ahead of the wellbeing of Americans IS villainous and monsterous, not to mention utterly lacking in morals. Once again, the Right-Wing Propaganda Machine tries to change the issue (unsuccessfully) rather than face the reality of the evil they are supporting.

POPSState of Delusion Birther Certificate Something to award those lunatic Birthers that nag you with their unjustified delusions about Obama not being a natural-born American. If you really want to twist the knife, tell them that John McCain WASN'T born in the US (Born in Panama), so he was never a valid presidential candidate in the first place, going by the issue they're tripping out about.
