POPSWorld Opinion is Worthless "The moment one recognizes "world opinion" for what it is — a statement of moral cowardice, one is longer enthralled by the term. That "world opinion" at this moment allegedly loathes America and Israel is a badge of honor to be worn proudly by those countries. It is when "world opinion" and its news media start liking you that you should wonder if you've lost your way. "

POPSThe 10 Most Worthless College Majors Philosophy Why It Won’t Help You Get a Job: This isn’t ancient Greece: No one is going to pay you money, or allow you to sodomize their attractive son, in exchange for your knowledge of existence. Never has there been an employer who’s said “Man, we’re having all kinds of problems, I wish we had someone on our team who could reference and draw conclusions from the story of Siddhartha that would pull up our fourth quarter numbers.” I took many philosophy classes and it involved reading and smoking a shit pile of weed. You don’t need to pay 20,000 dollars a year to do that. All you need is twenty dollars and a library card. What Job You’ll End Up With: Thanks to your extensive knowledge of philosophy, you’re now self-aware enough to know that most jobs out there will make you totally miserable. So most likely you’ll wait tables part time and hope someone starts paying you for the bi-monthly entries on your blog.

POPSCNN lackey attempts to race-bait Sarkozy I'm surprised she didn't use the term "Asian youths", which is the media's preferred nomenclature for "violent Muslims". And yes, they were scum, and race has nothing to do with it. They rioted simply because they knew that they would be somehow seen as victims by morons like Christiane Amanpour. And also because they were assholes. The media is worthless.

POPS8 Afghan Civilians Killed in US Attack The mass-murder continues unabated of those unfortunate souls around the world whose lives are worthless to the USA. Some will say this is another mistake - mistake No. 2,000,000. When a society continues killing by "mistake," we can draw only one conclusion: that the "mistakes" are intentional.

POPSAsimov's 30 Laws of Robotics Par 1 (#4-11) If you know Asimov's first Three Laws of Robotics then you either are a scifi fan or a Will Smith Super-Fan (it was a better than average movie and for Will a better than average Will Smith movie which says a lot as I am NOT a Will Smith Super-Fan, He just makes smart movies.) But if you are in the dark about the first 3 laws of robotics here they are: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. OK Now that we are all on the same web page, enjoy the wonderful witticisms...

POPSMulti-millionaire civil servants This piece is well worth the reading. After nearly twelve years of Labour moral standards, we can see what the politicisation of the Civil Service has lead to. The once vaunted Whistle Blowers Charter has proved to be nothing more that a worthless piece of legislation to get rid of concerned and decent Civil Servants.

POPSAutistic boy banned from church Mk 5:1 (GW) They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 2 As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit 3 and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. 4 He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. Mark 5:1-4 (GW) Mk 5:15 (GW) They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. A church that one time practiced exorcism now can not deal with an autistic boy. When the church house looses its power to save those afflicted then it has become worthless only to be turned into a social club. Only the best dressed and socially acceptable may enter.

POPSReid says "coal makes us sick", and "oil makes us sick" Dingy Harry makes me sick. Coal and oil have made this country the powerhouse it is. It hasn't made us sick, it's made us the most prosperous country in the history of mankind. Let's find another energy source beyond fossil fuels. Something that can run our wonderful engine of USA capitalism. Make petroleum worthless and the Arabs will be back to herding goats in no time.

POPSWhere Are The Dot-Coms Now? These ten profiles are worth clicking through -- it's fun to remember some of these wacky ideas, and probably useful to remember their mistakes (you hear me, web 2.0 guys?)

POPS8 Child Prodigies So Amazing They'll Ruin Your Day "Ah, childhood. It's a magical time when you're still allowed to be a non-productive drain on society and not feel guilty about it. But while most of us spent our childhoods staring at cartoons over bowls of sugary breakfast cereal, some kids were more focused on things like composing symphonies, performing surgery or getting nominated for the Nobel Prize."
