Pat Robertson tells mother: Your son’s stomach pains are caused by a witch ancestor (article and comment)

I hope this child received the medical attention he needed.  I'm just amazed that in 2014 people still believe illnesses are caused by demons and witches.  If this child dies Pat Robertson should be held responsible.  I'm hoping someone convinced this mother to ignore Pat Robertson's ignorance and get her son proper medical care.

'Relentless' Boycott Planned Against The Rams as they Drafted Michael Sam

Posted by Zman

This is how twisted this is.  If a player commits murder, sells drugs, beats his spouse or abuses animals that's OK.  But if he's in a loving relationship with another man OMG how horrible, he should not be in the NFL.  Like most boycotts, this one will just go away.   I think I'll be rooting for the St. Louis Rams this year and I hope Micheal Sam plays so well he wins an award at the end of the season.

Another Case of Be Careful What You Wish For, You Might Get It. Florida town’s choice: Violate Supreme Court ruling or open meeting with Satanic prayer

Posted by Zman

I was hoping this would happen. This town fought to be able to have prayer before town meetings,  Well they got what they wished for.  Now they have to allow prayer from any religion or face violating the Supreme Court ruling they fought so hard to win.   This is great.

Another Case of Zero Tolerance Stupidity. La Salle Peru Township Highschool suspends girl for two days and bans her from Prom and Graduation for Having an Inhaler in her Purse

Well, one of our local High Schools proves once again how stupid zero tolerance policies are. This young lady was suspended for two days, not allowed to attend her Senior Prom or stand on stage at her graduation for the horrible crime of having a life saving device n her purse.  An inhaler was found in her purse while school employees searched for a cell phone that had been stolen from a woman's restroom.   I'll let the Grandmother of the teen involved give more details.  She wrote this letter to the editor appeared in the La Salle Newws Tribune  the other day.  

"To the dean of students and the board of education at La Salle-Peru High School:

My granddaughter, Haleigh Golgin, is a senior at this school. She was recently suspended for two days not allowed to attend any school function for 30 days — which included prom — and graduating on stage with her classmates.

The reason: a cellphone was stolen from a bathroom at the school, so every girl had her purse searched that used this bathroom. My granddaughter had an inhaler and few Motrin in her purse; she violated their policy of not giving the nurse these items. She had an order from her doctor that she could carry the inhaler but strange enough the nurse could not find it, and she simply forgot to take the six Motrin out of her purse.

So she violated the policy by having an unknown substance in her purse. They were clearly labeled.

When my granddaughter was 13 she died twice. She was a healthy teenager one day and the next day she was fighting for her life. She was put on life support, while we all watched her body shutting down — she was on a ventilator for more then three months and in a coma most of the time. She fought all odds to survive, I watched her every day, sat by her side prayed, made deals with the Lord for a miracle. She had surgeries that left scars that no child should have. She loved softball and was a great pitcher. We loved watching her play; now she cannot play due to her damaged lungs, hence the use of the inhaler.

Do you know what it’s like to not be able to breathe and why God invented inhalers? I watched her go from a shell of a girl who had to learn to walk, talk and use her hands again and what struggles she overcame. She is a miracle. She missed most of her eighth grade year at Parkside in Peru but was allowed to graduate on stage with her classmates, she made it across the stage with her mother’s help and had a standing ovation.

So you see policies CAN be changed. She fought to continue her schooling, had home teaching, summer school. She learned to eat again, not through her stomach from a tube but actually with a fork. She had perfect attendance at school did not even skip on senior skip day.

Policy or not, what you did was unforgivable — you would not even return my son’s phone calls. Prom and graduation were important to her.

Virginia Christians prepare for 40-day hunger strike against same-sex marriage (article link and my comments)

Refusing to eat because they are not getting their way? So pretty much they are acting like two year old children. Do they really think fasting will make the state somehow change its mind. Like they are going to say, "Oh a small group of people are not eating so maybe we should discriminate against gay people." Let us know how that works for you.  As I've said before, any god who would expect his or her followers to discriminate against others is not the kind of god I'd want anything to do with.

No More Windows XP?????

myth: windows xp will not disappear from your computer because MS is no longer supporting it.  I hear that daily from customers.  They think they will go turn on their computer and POOF! no OS aka operating system.  Many think they have to go to Windows 8.1.  This is not true. Ubuntu/linux is a free OS that works great from a bootable USB or CD.  Also you can upgrade to Windows 7 if you are not fond of windows (8) 8.1.  I have a macbook and I can even use Ubuntu from a usb stick flash drive.  My mac OS X still works fine but it is a free option to use linux.  Great website for How To Linux is http://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/usb-ubuntu/

Pat Robertson, Do Christianity a favor and Please get off the Air

Posted by Zman

Recently on the 700 Club TV nut job preacher Pat Robertson commented about how gays used to be stoned to death and how Satan is responsible for the gay rights movement.  (Video and article below) It is people like this guy that give Christians a bad name. Now as most of you know I'm an atheist  but I know not all Christians or religious people think like this nut job. I know many people of many different faiths who are not at all like this.  They are open minded, caring people who treat others with respect and are all for marriage equality.  The problem is I know many who do think that all religious people are this closed minded. Pat, you're not doing anything to help your cause when you continually say nutty and outrageous things like this. Do your religion a favor and get off the air. You're actually making this Satan you talk about seem like the better person and god seem like the closed minded judgmental being that I'd want nothing to do with. . I mean if he is so bad then why would he be for tolerance and treating others equally. You're making this Jesus guy seem like the bad person. Does not sound like the message you should be sending. You're not making this god of yours seem all that appealing. So again. do your religion a favor and get off the air.   You are a very ignorant man who hides behind your religion to spread bigotry and hate.

Did You Know Most Hotels and Motels in the U S do not allow Direct Access to 911?

I heard this on the news this morning and I was not aware of this.  It just escapes me as to why they would even set up these systems this way.  Sadly it took a woman's death to bring this to light and to get something done about it.  My niece is on a band trip out of state and I hope the people over seeing the trip are aware of how the hotel they are staying at handles 911 calls.

From the article.

"DALLAS — Tens of thousands of hotels don't allow guests to directly reach emergency services when they dial 911, according to a national survey taken after a 9-year-old girl couldn't call for help while her mother was being stabbed to death in a Texas motel.

The killing of Kari Hunt Dunn in an East Texas hotel room spurred a petition that has garnered more than 440,000 signatures demanding hotels and motels be required to enable the direct dialing of 911. Many hotels require callers to dial "9'' before 911 or have some other system, such as calling first to the front desk, which advocates say can lead to panic and confusion in an emergency."

Besides The Hunger Games and Divergent, These Five Dystopias Should Also Get Film Adaptations.

Posted by Zman

As promised on the show the last two weeks, here's a blog post.  Now most of us know unless you've been living in a cave somewhere deep in the Rocky Mountains and even then you may know that Dystopian Societies are the big thing right now in young adult lit. Although both the Hunger Games and Divergent have much wider appeal to many different age groups from young adults to grandparents.  I have grandmothers I work with who are hooked on both series.  And if you listen to our radio show or know me in person you know I'm hooked on both series.  The success of The Hunger Games and Divergent has led many more young adults and teens to read more and that is always a good thing.    For those who don't know what Dystopia is  the opposite of a utopia, a time and place in which humanity is in some capacity repressed, held back, and lacking liberty in some capacity.  And with both series being adapted to film and getting rave reviews it is getting more people turned on to the genera.  We just sw Divergent today infact and it was very well done.  We'll talk about it more on tomorrows Candidradio Live on www.sky106.net at 7 PM EDT.  Anyway, the folowing article talks about five other Dystopian books that should be adapted to film and these are books I'll be adding to my reading list.

After threats and harassment, NC teen abandons atheist group

From the article,  "The whole episode is a sad and painful reminder of the formal and informal persecution, intimidation and harassment that atheists, agnostics and other freethinkers often must face.

It is also a stinging indictment of the hypocrisy, the arrogance, and the cruelty of the Christian community at large. One can only wonder, where were the so called “good Christians” while this teen was being threatened and harassed?"   Also the one girl who called her satin is not all that smart,  We atheists don't believe in a satin.  Just shows how ignorant some of these people are.

10 Things Never to Say to a New Midlife Mother

As we have some friends who have not had their first child until they were in their forties we've heard all the comments they have heard.  One friend who had her first at 39 had a waitress in a shocked voice ask our friend "How Old Are You"? The waitress was about seventeen and seemed to be utterly shocked that a woman in her thirties would dare have a child.   Seems that when you do something other perceive as "not normal"  there is always some rude moron that will make some dumb comment on it.  I cane across this article that goes over the 10 things you should never say to a new midlife mother and some good responses to give if you are a midlife mother and some idiot feels the need to say any of this crap to you.

From the article.

"1. "Are you the grandmother?"
Unless you need to ask this to determine whether an AARP card is applicable, or to somehow confirm lineage, don't even ask. Not only is this a painful question for any woman/mother over 40, but if applied incorrectly, it's an insult to the children who are usually listening. Think about the overall cost/benefit of asking this question, especially if little ones are in tow.

2. "How old were you when you had/adopted your child?"
Is this your business?

3. "Do you know how selfish you are?"
This references the fact that I may die long before I get to experience my children's milestones and leave my children motherless. However, people die at every age. Long life is not a sure bet for anyone.

4. "Why would you have/adopt a child at your age?"
Why not?"

Illinois Innkeeper: There Will Never Be A Gay Wedding Here

Now the inn keeper says he's running a "Christian bed and breakfast" and will not host same sex couples because of what the "bible says about it"  Now I do wonder if he won't host a same sex couple because the bible says homosexuality is wrong, if he also makes sure every straight couple who stays there is married,  Also he better not be serving shell fish, he also should not allow any guests in who have tattoos,  He'd better not have his place of business open on Sunday's, and none of his bed sheets, towels, or other linens, made of mixed fabrics.  I mean the bible says those things are wrong too.  Funny how those who like to use the bible to say same sex marriage should be legal forget to read the rest of Leviticus.  If they did they'd see just how silly trying to use the bible to argue weather we should or should not be doing things is just plain silly.  Also teh inn keeper says that homosexuality is not natural which science has proven to be false.  It appears in many other species besides humans.  Who you going to believe.  A book that has been translated so many times the original translations have been lost or the science of today.  I'll pick the science of today and if god support discrimination then that is not the kind of god I'd want any part of.

The 9 Types Of Special Snowflake Children Who Aren’t Special At All

We all know parents like this and they are far more annoying then their "special" children.  

From the article.

Most of us just have average kids. They get decent grades, they are somewhat attractive, they have good days and days where we consider leaving them on the side of the road. On occasion they act in exceptional ways, and they surprise us by how insightful, caring, or funny small humans can be. I’m cool with that, you’re probably cool with that, but do you know who isn’t cool with that? Any parent that you dare suggest that their kid is “average” to. And most of us don’t, because as soon as one of the special snowflakes’ moms goes on their diatribe about how special their little spawn actually is, our eyes sort of glaze over and we start calculating the price of buy-one-get-one-free butter on sale this week, and whether or not you can actually freeze butter or if it gets weird. These special snowflake children are nowhere near as annoying as their parents are. What are the most common types of special snowflake kids? Why, I’m so glad you asked.

Uptick in Births Nine Months After a Blizzard or Power Outage Nothing More than an Urban Legend.

With the recent super cold temps we had here a couple weeks ago I've already heard this one going around our area about what will supposedly happen nine months from now.  I do wonder if the people who actually believe this myth really think people stop using birth control just because they are  snowed in or the power is out.  Sorry, it does not work that way despite what maternity ward nurses want to believe.

Growing Up Unvaccinated I had the healthiest childhood imaginable. And yet I was sick all the time. By Amy Parker

Great article written by a woman who grew up unvaccinated and all the heath problems she had due to it.  This illestrates how much crap the anti vaccination people are trying to spread.  This woman is lucky to be alive.

Walmart puts attendance over Safety during the Dangerous Weather this Past Weekend.

I really hate it when companies put attendance over safety. We had some pretty bad and cold weather move though our area Sunday though Tuesday. Now for those who don't know I work at Walmart and Saturday at the ten PM meeting the shift manager said if people call off Sunday when the bad weather moves though it will be held against them and those in danger of being over the allotted absences may find themselves unemployed the next time they come in. Walmart allows three call offs for a six month rolling period, Now Sunday authorities were telling people not to travel due to the blowing and drifting snow and the dangerous wind chills. I do know most people still called off and on third shift which I work seven people made it in. One woman did say she came in simply because she did not want to lose her job. Sad when a company expects people to come in even when authorities are telling people not to travel. Obviously an attendance policy is acceptable. Most companies have them but let's use some common sense. If the authorities are telling people to stay off the roads and in many cases Sunday and Monday nights in our area ticketing people for being on the roads expecting people to risk their lives to get to work is a little stupid.  I've been told other Walmart's i the area that was hit with the bad weather did the same thing.

Antivaccinationists abuse reporting algorithms to silence pro-vaccine skeptics on Facebook

Facebook needs to fix this bug.  The flaw is all you have to do is say you're name was used in a post and Facebook bans the person for twelve hours.  As the article points out, the people being banned are making normal pasts.   These antivaccination groups know their arguments are false so their only tactic is to either attack their critics or try and silence them.

Here is the article that talks about this problem.

The Worst Movies of 2013

Reading the plots of the movies on this list I can see why we don't go to or rent movies hardly at all anymore.  If this is what Hollywood thinks is entertaining, no thanks,  I'll pass.  Not to sound like my grandparents but I can't believe people actually pay money to see this stuff.  Most of the movies on this list I would not go see if someone paid me.

Here's the link to the list.

My Thoughts on the Guy on Facebook Holding the Poster that says, "My Wife Will Give Me A Baby If I Get So Many Likes.

Posted by Zman

I've seen the picture of the guy holing the poster that reads, "if I get 500,000 likes my wife will give me a baby." on a few friends Facebook walls the last couple days. I really don't think major life decisions like having a baby should be made based on how many Facebook likes you get. I just can't even imagine how some people think that is actually a good idea. The choice weather or not to have kids should be taken a little more seriously.

Another couple found guilty of murder for parenting by "To Train Up a Child"

The Pearls are purely sick, evil, twisted individuals who have no business giving parenting advice. From the below article here is some of their parenting, "advice" "Using plastic tubing to beat children, since it hurts a lot but leaves fewer marks to alert authorities Wearing the plastic tubing around the parent's neck as a constant reminder to obey "Swatting" babies as young as six months old with instruments such as "a 12-inch willowy branch," thinner plastic tubing or a wooden spoon "Blanket training" babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor Beating older children with rulers, paddles, belts and larger tree branches "Training" children with pain before they even disobey, in order to teach total obedience Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline Hosing off children who have potty training accidents Inflicting punishment until a child is "without breath to complain." That's not parenting, that is abuse and these sick, evil, child abusers need to be stopped. If the god they believe in supporst this kind of parenting than I cetainly want no part of a god like that.

Massachusetts Just celebrated Ten Years of Marriage Equality, So Where Is All This Bad Stuff that is Supposed to Happen

First we here at Candidradio would like to congratulate Massachusetts on ten years of marriage equality and we are glad our home state of Illinois has finally approved the measure which will be signed in to law by Governor Pat Quinn this week. On the live show and the podcast we have talked about just how silly the anti marriage equality arguments are. They would be laughable if there were not people ignorant enough to believe them. They predict all kinds of dire consequences if we allow couples of the same sex to marry. Some even try to use the bible as an argument to why it should not be allowed but as we've pointed out many times with all the other things banned by the book of Leviticus: tattoos, eating shellfish, working on Sundays, Playing soccer on Sunday, wearing mixed fabric, There is even a requirement that a woman who has been raped has to marry her rapist, parents can kill their disobedient children, and the list goes on, that using the bible is a pretty weak argument. So now with Massachusetts having same sex marriage legal for ten years and many other countries having it for far longer, where are all these bad things that are supposed to happen. They claim it will lead to the "downfall of society as we know it" yet there is no evidence of this happening. They claim it will somehow "cheapen the family unit." again no evidence of this happening. The silly claims by the far religious right go on and on and you've heard us talk and blog about them many times. The one thing all of these silly arguments against marriage equality have in common is none of these homophobes can tell us how this stuff will happen or give any evidence that it is happening anywhere. The reason is because there arguments are false and deep down they know it. Their way of thinking is based on ignorance and fear and is thankfully dying off. Sixteen states in the U S have now approved marriage equality and the number is growing. hopefully in our lifetime marriage equality will be the law of the land and the homophobes like the Illinois Family Institute, Focus on the Family, and the American Family Association who try to hide their hate behind religion will be nothing more than a part of history that people just laugh about how ignorant and hateful those groups are. Granted there will always be homophobic people but hopefully as time goes on and we are seeing it today, that way of thinking becomes less appropriate and people except others for who they are. So congratulations Massachusetts on ten years of Marriage equality. Let's hope the rest of the country catches up very soon.

The Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas Debate Part 1458725695123 and One Thrid

Posted by Zman I'm seeing the "say Merry Christmas and not Happy Holidays" posts on my feed. I've never understood why some people get upset over a greeting or think it is somehow, "taking the Christ out of Christmas" Don't these people realize that happy Holidays simply refers to the entire holiday season. Merry Christmas refers to the specific holiday. and despite what these people want you to believe. People have been saying Happy Holidays for years, decades even. and how exactly does what someone calls it have any effect on how you celebrate Christmas? I get the feeling some people are not happy unles they feel persecuted. They call that a persecution complex. It seems in the past ten or fifteen years that some have decided to take offence to it. Trust me, no one is trying to take the Christ outof Christmas. There is no war on Christmas. Look around during the season. You can't breathe without being hit in the face with all kinds of Christmas stuff. If you're getting upset over a greeting then you're missing the whole point of the season. With all the problems going on around the world isn't it a bit silly to get upset over how someone greets you during what is supposed to be a festive season? You'd think if these people are so concerned over what they see as the "true meaning of the holidays" they'd be more upset over the commercialism of the holiday than a greeting. I mean there's something to get upset over. Not how someone greets you. Talk about getting upset over the wrong thing. I'm an atheist and I agree the holidays are way to commercialized. and yet I find the most strident Christmas supporters are the ones spending hundreds of dollars on their kids etc. yep, that's the reason for the season folks - maxing out the credit card, right?

The Radical Notion That Children Are People

Posted by Zman I really cannot think of anything else to add. This article says it best. Friom the article, "And so I have to wonder, what is it with this idea that violence against children is something to be treated so lightly, like a joke, or even directly embraced? What is this?! We wouldn’t let people get away with saying “back in the day, when we could beat our wives without being sent to jail, women knew to keep their clothes on and their mouths shut.” We wouldn’t let people get away with saying “back in the day, when blacks had to serve their masters or else face a beating, they weren’t lazy layabouts like today.” So why do people think they can get away with reminiscing fondly about the days when children got an “ass whooping” if they stepped out of line? How do people think this is acceptable?! The truth is that we live in a society that is not kind to children. Full article here.
