A "D"-student calls others morons. Isn't that shpeshal?

I felt the need to respond to a comment I read at ThinkProgress.org under the article "Gun Groups Sponsor 'Guns Save Lives Day' On One-Year Anniversary of Newtown Shooting."

The poster (Design With Time) wrote this:

"So your OKAY with the President surrounding himself with children when he wants to promote his anti gun agenda. And your OK with 18 year old children to go to war and die for no good reason. And your OK with 650,000 abortions a year. And it's fine for Dr's to kill 100,000 people a year through medical mishaps. What a bunch of hypocrites. You are the true domestic terrorists. Just surrender yourself to the government they will take good care of you. Morons all of you."

I love this poster's closing line, especially since I counted 23 spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in his eight sentences (2.88 per). Speaking of morons...

Would this poster rather the president preach about how wonderful guns are to children? "Kids - stay in school, don't do drugs, and when someone's causing a problem, don't hesitate to shoot them." So, yeah, I'd say many sensible people are okay with the president "surrounding himself with children when he wants to promote his anti-gun agenda."

Who said anything about being okay with 18-year old children going to war and dying for no good reason? This poster must have heard a voice and the name of this voice was Crazy.

I don't know many whom are okay with 650,000 abortions every year. Just because one is pro-choice doesn't mean they're pro-abortion. It's not like pro-choice individuals celebrate a holiday every April 14th called "We Love Abortion Day." We simply believe in a woman's right to choose what to do with her body, especially if her pregnancy is due to rape or incest, or her health is in jeopardy. Most of us believe in better educating people about sex and providing better access to contraceptives to decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies and through that, decrease the number of abortions. We "morons" like to call it common sense.

Once again, I'm not sure anyone said that it's fine for doctors to kill 100,000 people a year through medical mishaps. That voice named Crazy seems to be talking quite a bit today.

So, people whom believe in sensible gun control laws to decrease gun violence, war as a very last resort to decrease the number of soldiers' casualties, sex education and better access to contraceptives to decrease the number of abortions, and doing everything possible to decrease deaths via medical mishaps are hypocrites and domestic terrorists? This poster may want to read the definition of "hypocrite" once again, and while he's at it, may want to take a course in both spelling and critical thinking. He may also want to read up on "projection," since it appears him calling others morons was a prime example of that.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
