Some things are just too funny to describe, but what we have here is Dauchshund that decided to grab a Roman Candle that was already lit and run around with the thing shooting it's flares. The adults in this video can thank God that no one, especially the children, was injured. Fortunately, we can enjoy this while laughing because no one was hurt.

The 50 Points of the Retrosexual / Neosexual Code, for Real Men Today
by guest writer,
Tom Hawks
This whole Retrosexual term and idea was first brought to my attention by a Freeper named ExSoldier who commented to an article written by One Vike that posted at Freerepublic titled, "Sorry Obama but Women Desire Real Men". I looked around for the genesis of this list and found out from Michelle Malkin site that the author of the Retrosexual Code is Grau Magus, whose anti-metrosexual manifesto has made the rounds on of the Internet and eventually took on a life of its own. Now you can find the list in many places and with many various points added onto it. There is even a facebook site named, The Retrosexual Code that men of like minds can join to share and discuss the way they see the feminization of the modern man.
The list or I should say, the code I am sharing is actually a cleaned up version of what Freeper, ExSoldier posted on FR with a few changes but none that would be substantial. I am adding the phrase "Neosexual" to the title of the code also as it better fits because of the poll that OV used in his article which brought this code to my attention used the phrase. Unfortunately the blog that had the original rant and list have long been removed from the web for whatever reason that only the author would know. Here is what remains from the original rant by Mrs, or Miss Grau Magus.
The Retrosexual or Neosexual Code for Real men
1.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not ride in the back seat with the baby while women drive the car. Real men always drive unless he is injured beyond the ability to drive, usually that mean he is almost dead.
2.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE DAMN DATE.
3.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man always opens the door for a lady. Even for the ones that fit the term of a lady, only because they are female.
4.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual male deals with crap. Be it a flat tire, break-in into your home, or a natural disaster, real men always deal with the problems.
5.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man eats red meat, and often times he kills it himself.
6.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man doesn't worry about living to be 90, because we know that it's not the length of ones life but the quality of the life we lived that matters. If you're 90 years old and still smoking cigars and drinking, I salute you.
7.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not use more hair or skin products than women, that's why women have several isles in the supermarket for their toiletries while men have 1/4 of an isle, and that's too much. A real man's motto is KISS (keep it simple stupid)
8.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man uses a barber named Bill to get a hair cut, not a hair stylist with a lisp named Rauel.
9.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old
10.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual male should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if need be. This falls under the "dealing with crap” portion of The Code. (see code#4)
11.) Retrosexuals or Neosexuals never watch a TV show with the word "Queer" in the title.
12.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not let neighbors screw up rooms in his house on national TV just for free labor.
13.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man should never give up his manliness for sex. Some is inevitable, but major re-invention of yourself will only lead to you becoming a metrosexual little pussy. Inevitably it is never worth it in the long run, because no woman is worth losing your manhood over. Besides, she will eventually leave you for a real man that she could not change anyway.
14.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man is not ever allowed to seek professional help for any major mental stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a freak wood chipper accident, favorite sports team being moved to a different city etc. You are not allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy dealing with life in the real world. When you screwed up as a wayward teen, he just dealt with you like a real man does to his son. So just Cowboy up, you pansy ass.
15.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual male will have at least one outfit in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey.
16.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot for the few times a year he has to wear a tie.
17.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual does not strip naked, get into a sweat lodge, and bang on drums to bond with other guys, because that's what queers do. However dressing in kilts, banging on drums around a campfire, and drinking heavily is just fine.
18.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't hammer a damn nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you be.
19.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual's a-hole is an exit ramp on the road of life. Ladies, contrary to what Cosmo says, spontaneously sticking a finger back there is a good way to be launched off the bed (or if Hooters hot wings have been recently consumed, lose a finger). Make you a deal, we won't mess with yours unless you want us to, and you won't mess with ours period.
20.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man will buy feminine hygiene products if he has to, but only under protest. This falls under unpleasant crap you have to just deal with. (see code #4)
21.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man will always give up his seat on the bus/subway/etc to a lady, even if his leg is broken or he just finished a 12 hour overtime shift of loading cement bags at the local hardware store to pay for his next hunting trip.
22.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual does not order an apple martini at the bar. A Martini has gin and vermouth in it dammit. And maybe an olive. In fact, why not just get a beer and a shot of scotch?
23.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual doesn't get squeamish about having to DEAL with a pest animal, even if he has to kill it.
24.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual does NOT use unisex perfume. The brand of after shave his dad used is good enough for him, or any brand that does surveys which point out how women like real men.
25.) Retrosexual or Neosexuals build and fix stuff. If you can't change a light switch, install a ceiling fan, fix a broken toilet or build a tree house, learn how.
26.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual teaches his children how to deal with bullies in a way that doesn't involve "examining the other child's motivation for aggressiveness".
27.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual does not wear designer clothing (unless it is a really nice suit to impress a potential mate, then see code #9)
28.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual male knows what sex is he doesn't need a liberal. Hollywood, or any ask Alice column in the paper to define it for him.
29.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man meets the young men his daughter is going to date at the door and lets him know that Daddy is the barrier method that will prevent the young man from attempting anything beyond a hand shake during the date. (if in doubt See 10 rules for Dating my Daughter).
30.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man owns an adequate variety of tools to accomplish whatever his next task might be. He has command over all he owns and can readily describe his next likely tool purchase. A rolling toolbox of at least his own height is a manly minimum.
31.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man is not to be reckoned with lightly. He possesses the ability to deal with it and if you happen to be “it” then you should watch your tone or be dealt with accordingly.
32.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not take advantage of lesser individuals simply because he can, but if he should witness another attempting the same he’ll have little mercy on said bully.
33.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man has complete disgust for the entirety of our liberal media who’s weak minded ploy to “protect” all of the world’s minorities leaves them no one they are allowed to castigate as a group except the white males of the world. Screw the media and all of the gay metrosexual weak, shallow, dimwitted, effeminate male actors getting rich by portraying strong retrosexual or neosexual men while living real lives where they claim that real women don't want said men.
34.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man doesn’t care if you agree with him or not. His opinion does not change just to suit the ears of the local audience, or the woman he intends on dating or marrying.
35.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not care to be bothered with the annoying nuances of being politically correct. Screw the pansy leftists if they don’t like what I’m saying.
36.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man is not ashamed of his body nor of the sounds and smells the might emanate from it. He doesn’t mind cleaning up or dressing nice if the occasion warrants, but he also understands the therapeutic value in a well rendered belch. In public or not.
37.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man not only knows about guns and ammunition but also is a skilled marksman. Do not take him lightly, dying slowly is a lot more painful and he knows it.(see code #50)
38.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man understands the vapid emasculating power of the city and spends significant effort to remove himself to the fresh air of the hills as frequently as possible.
39.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man can master any vehicle that he happens to come across, be it on land, snow, water or air, 2 wheels, 3 wheels, 4 wheels, 18 wheels, or no wheels.
40.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not add fancy chrome where it is not needed for essential metal protection. His vehicles are purpose driven and rarely show signs of “dressing up”. If he drives a 4WD truck or jeep then it is dirty on a routine basis. It also shows scars from being used for its built purpose. And he does not care about these scars except as a show of pride that the vehicle has earned its stripes. Also his vehicles all run on 100% of either diesel or gasoline.
41.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man does not mind being alone. The company of others is pleasant but not required. He has no use for meaningless banter for the simple sake of conversation. Take your idle prattle elsewhere, unless of course it is needed to make our wives think we care what they are talking about. Then the occasional grunt of yup uhuh and a nod will suffice.
42.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man can start a fire with or without any assistance from matches, lighters or fuel.
43.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man can tie knots. Steadfast knots. Different ones as required to suit his purpose. He also knows about the different properties of ropes and which are best suited for different applications.
44.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man can use a knife. Any knife. And his knives are always sharp. His preferred pocket knife is the Swiss army knife but not the fancy ass version that contains 47 blades, a magnifying glass and two shades of lip gloss. One with a main blade, a saw blade, a can opener, a beer opener and a corkscrew will suffice. He can routinely use his knife to create things or to destroy things, all with equal aplomb. If stranded on an island with no tools, within a year of existing on said island we will have turned the jungle into a paradise.
45.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man can open his beer with a wide variety of tools, including his belt, and do so in less than 10 seconds.
46.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man understands sports. Not all sports but all the essential sports, besides no one but leftist pansy's really give a crap about jai alai, curling, or women’s badminton.
47.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man doesn’t mind getting dirty. A little dirt never hurt anyone. Only girls and whiny metrosexuals are paranoid about dirt. Men lived for thousands of years without washing their hands every fifteen minutes.
48.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man is personally responsible for all aspects of his life and doesn’t seek to blame others for the wrongs and injustices in his life. He deals with them. (see code # 14)
49.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual man is in touch with his feelings and he doesn’t feel obliged to share them with some nosy female who wants him as her emotional companion. Unless said woman has already said I do at the altar, and then it is only behind closed doors and she will never tell another soul he did.
50.) A Retrosexual or Neosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that you’re are riddled with fear, or are trying to make up for a small penis. Massages and sexual skills are the way retrosexual or neosexual men make up for small penises. The gun has three purposes in life, the first purpose is that of a tool for survival like hammers, saws, drills, and fishing poles. The second purpose is for sport so we can learn how to use said tool in time of need, and because guns are just damned fun to shoot. Finally, third and most important purpose of a gun is to defend his life, his family, his liberty and his first amendment right to be politically incorrect while living the life of a retrosexual or neosexual man in America.

Ok folks, I have had it. I've taken all I can stand and I can't stand no more. Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is effeminate men prancing about, redecorating houses and talking about foreign concepts like "style" and "feng shui." Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, trans-sexual, metrosexual, non-sexual; blue, green, and purple-sexual-bogus definitions have taken over the urban and suburban world!
Real men of the world, stand up, scratch your butt, belch, and yell "ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the culture wars, the Retrosexual movement.

Sorry Obama but Women Desire Real Men, Not Metrosexuals
by One VikeFor the last decade, American men have been inundated with the idea that women prefer men who are in touch with their feminine side, men who are not afraid to spend a little extra time in front of the mirror, and maybe even wear a little make up to highlight the features of their face. We are told that men like John Kerry and Barack Obama are what women really want. Men who are not only unashamed of their femininity, but men who will even go so far as to display such faith in their feminism in public as Obama has time and time again.
Well, please allow me to set the record straight, because it seems that Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama are really not the type men that turn the ladies on. I found this survey from a deodorant company that inherently, just makes sense to me. I had not heard of this survey before now, but I have read numerous reports in Australian and European papers about it. I'd link you to the survey itself, if only I could find it, but like many polls and surveys it has disappeared within a few months. As I stated, most of my facts about this survey have been gleaned from information I could attain from the many articles written about the results. I must admit that I'm delighted with the findings, for me they make total sense. My guess is that the MSM would rather the men of America continue believing that women desire the kind of feminine men that currently occupy the White House. However, the way companies advertise their products proves that the following results of this survey must be true.
In an independent study commissioned by Lynx deodorant, 2800 women from 14 countries ranging from the ages of 18-34 were asked what they like in men. It turns out that 80% of women would rather have a man who is capable of being "sensitive without losing his masculinity". Women, it turns out, are not much into the sensitive new-age guy. They want a man who can light their fires and put them out simultaneously, while not hogging the mirror. A clear 65% of the women polled in this survey said that seeing a man dolling himself up in front of a mirror is actually depressing to them. Woman want men to take care of themselves, but not to the extreme that the metrosexual male has taken it to so that the women are the ones waiting to go on the date.
So while Hollywood has attempted to sell us the idea that the women of the world want men who are more feminine, fact is, women want a man that is physically strong and sexually substantial. It would seem that women are tired of the boring metrosexual man who leads a frantic lifestyle while spending too much time on the internet. The woman of today prefers a man who will talk to them on the phone and ask them out on a date, instead of the insensitive heartless trivial text messaging of the metrosexual city dweller. The survey also shows that 72% of the women polled prefer a man who is confident, strong, and knows what he wants. Here that you moderate mugwumps?
What women really want is a man who has masculine qualities yet still understands the needs of modern-day women. It seems that women are beginning to complain about men who are feminine, and instead, are beginning to choose partners with a more masculine image. They actually like the cowboy type of men, hello George Bush, goodbye Obama. Also, unlike the mantra you here from the feminists and Hollywood, women do not want to erase the differences that distinguish them from the masculine male. Women want to get back to the good old days when men treated women like ladies. So feel free to open door and pull back the chair for your lady gentleman, because that is what they truly want.
The survey also suggests that women are more attracted to men who are simply stronger both physically and sexually then they are. Believe it or not, 85% of the women surveyed said that they would be easily tempted with a passionate kiss of a strong man, and that they admired a man's straight-forwardness about his intentions. It turns out that women of today are just like our mothers and grandmothers were, they believe a man is supposed to take the initiative, and be what God made men to be.
So men, if you love your woman, and you want her to know it, then grab her during a moment of passion and give her a kiss to let her know how you feel about her. Because quite frankly, the way I see it, the way real men were portrayed in the old movies is what today's woman truly desires.
Picking and a Grinning
I received this in an email from my Uncle. I really don't know who's children these are, but considering I have hundreds of relatives around America that I have never met, I will not even attempt to guess who's children they are. I did ask who they are, but he and his wife are somewhere over the Atlantic on their way to France right now. If I could have played a guitar this good at that age, I do think my occupation would have been much different then it is today. These boys are good, considering their age. However, keep an eye on the youngest boy because he seems to do it with the kind of ease that you don't see very often.

Handicapped Bear & A Quadriplegic Man, Proof the World Doesn't Need Socialism
Cartoonist, John CallahanNo one really knows who took this video of a 3 legged black bear, except that it was possibly taken in the Canadian wilderness. I have been told by some reputable sources, that some thought they had actually found the elusive Sasquatch. Unfortunately for those who continue to believe in the story of Big Foot, what they actually found was a mother black bear who had either been born with only one front leg or lost it in a fight at a younger age. When watching this video you will be struck by the almost human aspect of the bear as it walks around upright.
Another thing I would bet you will come away with, is a feeling of sadness for the mother bear. However, the lesson you should glean from this video is that just because a person, or an animal, is handicapped does not mean they are helpless. This bear shows that even the handicapped can survive in the wild with out any extra help from others. Now only if we humans just quit trying to inflict our feelings of sorrow and uselessness upon those who are handicapped, maybe they won't feel the need to depend upon others as much as we make them feel.
When I first watched this video it reminded me of the comic writer John Callahan, who is not your normal everyday run of the mill comic writer. See, that's because John is a quadriplegic who has done what liberals said is impossible with out their help. Instead of putting his hands out for the crumbs from the liberals table, John defied the odds of what many thought he would be able to accomplish. He wasn't always the self sufficient person he is now, fact is John started drinking when he was a teen because he thought it was the best way to deal with the emotional trauma of being sexually abused. He has been quoted as saying,
“I used the alcohol to hide the pain of the abuse”.
His drinking lasted a long time, and in 1972 at the age of 21, he was in a car accident that left him in a wheel chair as a quadriplegic. It would be another six years before he was able to push the bottle away for good and become something no one thought he would ever become. At 27 years old John began a new career, a career as a comic writer. Eventually he would become an accomplished cartoonist, artist, and musician who is known worldwide for the way he deals with the subject of physical disabilities. Among the numerous books he has had published are, "Will the Real John Callahan Please Stand Up?", and, "Don't Worry, He Won't Get far on Foot". Looking at the hate mail he receives will show that not everyone appreciates his sometimes raunchy but always humorous writings. His biggest detractors are the liberals who's take offense to the way he makes fun those with a disability. However, as a politically incorrect comic writer, Callahan has said time and time again that those who fail laugh at their own misfortune, will just continue to be angry and never succeed in life.He even gets gruff from some who think the government can do more for you then you can do for yourself, which is another aspect of life that John makes fun of. He has made quite a good living off making fun about the way America has become politically correct. His ultimate success has been the way he proved that anyone can become independent and self sufficient with out help from the likes of Obama and other Socialists who only destroy the human spirit.
The way I see it, if a three legged black bear, and a quadriplegic man can make it with out a multi trillion dollar program to support them, well then I believe that perfectly healthy hard working Americans all over this country will survive just fine with out Obama taking over 1/7th of the American economy in the name of compassion. What Callahan and this bear have in common is something that liberals just cannot comprehend, and that is a desire to survive with out any outside assistance. They have both overcome their limitations by surprising the world around them. When you think about it, the only disabilities we have in life are the limitations we allow others to impose upon us. Well, I hope you enjoy this short video of a black bear that actually does not realize she is handicapped.
Representation for Taxation Is Finally Restored
It is about time the Supreme Court has leveled the political playing field by returning to corporations their right to be represented for the taxes they are burdened with. Our American Revolution was based upon the complaint that the people were taxed without representation, but if American corporations don't have a 1st amendment right to free speech, then they shouldn't be subject to taxation either. So If anyone really dislikes the Supreme Courts ruling and would also like to take your opinion that corporations are not people so they should not have a say so in politics, then I have but one solution that will be fair to all, and that solution would be the government should not be taxing American cooperation's.
Think about it, if you really want to restrict the ability of corporations to influence elections and legislation then I suggest leveling the whole playing field for them by doing away with all taxes paid by them. That means no more corporate income tax, and no more forcing corporations to be servants of local, state, and federal governments. I say servants, because the government forces them to collect the governments taxes, but they do not get reimbursed for their services. After all, that is called forced servitude, and slavery is unconstitutional.
We should also change the law so that each person is required to pay their own portion of taxes from their own personal accounts. This would include local, state, federal income taxes, FICA, and social security. Also, we should take this to it's natural extent of disallowing the bundling of property taxes into mortgages via escrow accounts and force each person to record and submit their sales taxes in one lump sum rather than having a private corporation serve as a tax collector on each transaction. I could go further in explaining what we need to do to truly level the playing field, but you get my gist.
The problem with those of you who are angry over the ruling is that you fail to understand is that this ruling merely puts things back the way they used to be. There should be no restrictions on any American, nor on any American entity that represents other Americans in their defense against or their representation before a government that has become so intrusive that it regulates and taxes almost every aspect of human and non human activity.
Some how Americans seem to think it is alright for a totally biased media to run wild by telling lies and propping up candidates it likes over others in an attempt to change America into it's idea of a socialist utopia. If anyone thinks the MSM was not the single most influential entity in getting Obama and the Democrats in power, then you are blind. Funny how we never here from those who disagree with this ruling that the MSM should also lose it's free speech when it is obviously biased. Fact is the media should not lose it's right because of the 1st amendment, but neither should American corporations lose their right to influence the outcomes of political elections. Free speech means that any American entity that is either human or represents humans has the right to finance and influence elections and legislation, period.
Remember, a majority of the news media entities in America are also corporations. However they have practiced their right of freedom of speech over and above what other corporations have had for years. Then when congress passed, and Bush signed, the McCain/Feingold bill it just made things worse by giving even more power to the media, and the unions. For the past 100 years we have slowly watched as congress passed unconstitutional campaign finance laws that have restricted one entities freedom of speech while allowing another entities power of political influence to go unchecked.
What the Supreme Court has done is only overturn campaign finance laws that allowed the unholy marriage of the MSM and the unions to become the most powerful political force in the country. The media controls what Americans see and ear, and the unions use tax free employee union dues to spend billions on influencing politicians to pass legislation that effects the very corporation it's members work for while being immune from campaign finance laws passed in the last 100 years that have crippled the corporations 1st amendment right to free speech. So why is it wrong for a corporation to use its money to defend and support legislation that is beneficial to its shareholders? I thank God for this SC ruling, because now we can get back to what the founding fathers understood, and that is an out of control government that limits the constitutional rights of one entity over another is a dangerous thing.
If you want to live in a country where the press, the union, and the government are the only entities allowed to speak and influence elections then I suggest you move to Canada, Europe, or Cuba. As for me, I prefer keeping America a Representative Democracy, who's greatness can be traced to the success of capitalism and God.

Women Say Some Rape Victims Should Take Blame
by One Vike
Date rape has been in our lexicon for a few decades now, fact is a majority of people have become quite familiar with the lines that separate consensual and non consensual sex. However, our present attitude about rape was not always the same as it is today. There has always been warnings to girls that they should not allow themselves to be in certain situations that could lead to unwanted advances from boys. There has been many a woman who has claimed they were raped while the only defense the man had was the girl allowed things to progress past a point of no return for him.
I remember when I was but 12 years old, and I would accompany my older sister and her friend to the beach. My sisters always wore a one piece, but her friend would always wear this practically see-through white bikini just to lie down on a towel to sunbath. I must admit that I paid close attention to her as she laid there on her towel. After all, I was but six removed from being a full fledged teenager, and my hormones were already beginning to cause problems in my life. It was the late “60”s and I was well aware of the sentiment that we should love the one we were with if we could not be with the one we loved. Then again, I also remember the same girl telling my sister that a boy she was making out with on the beach raped her one day.
My sister convinced her to report it to the police and after some investigation they decided that there was no way they would be able to get a conviction because of the way the girl carried on with the boy on the beach. Now, today the results of the investigation would be much different as we now have the understanding that “no” means “no”, regardless of when during the encounter a girl uses that word. It is true though, that regardless of which side of the argument you agree with, someone will inevitably have a strongly felt conviction of why you are wrong. Personally I believe that everyone involved needs to take responsibility for how they conduct themselves. I also believe that such an accusation or charge can always be avoided if everyone obeyed God's precepts that only couples who are married should be having sex. So in my opinion, obeying this simple command could basically stop 99% of all date rapes.
That being said, I always thought that a majority of people in Western world societies have pretty much felt the same way for at least the last twenty years. That is until I came across this survey about the attitudes of English men and women when it comes to rape. This BBC News survey was conducted from more than 1,000 people. In the survey they found out that 71% of women thought a person should accept responsibility when getting into bed with someone, compared with 57% of men. The survey also found out that more than half of the male and female respondents think that there are some circumstances when a rape victim should accept responsibility for an attack. Thus the claim of date rape, at least in england, does not carry as much weight as it does in America. I am curious as to what the readers of Post Scripts would have to say about the idea that women should take more responsibility if they are attacked and raped by a boyfriend during a date.
As for me, I stated that all sex should be saved for marriage, but I fully understand that we live in a world where people do not obey God's commandments of abstaining from sex until marriage. As a Christian I live by the rule that I should "abstain from all appearance of evil", and by adhering to this rule I have never left myself in a position to be accused of something I could not justifiably defend myself against. That being said, we do live in a society that does catered to the base desires of humans. Now if I were living a life of sin and immorality, and I found myself in a compromising situation then I would first and for most agree that when a woman says “no”, that means “no”. After that point, the guy is guilty of rape if he ignores her pleas, and thus would be responsible for his own actions. However, there should also be a warning to women that they should not be acting in a way that could be misconstrued by the guy she is with on a date. This doesn’t excuse the guy’s actions, but it should be a warning to women to be cautious and sensible.

Man Regurgitated From Whale lives To Tell About It
These past few weeks I have shared various stories about whales. There was the story about Orca, the killer whale, that decided to take a break from the performance at San Diego's Sea World to eat a pelican that dropped onto the water while the spectators looked on. I also shared the heartwarming tale of the penguin who did all he could to dodge the clutches of a killer whale until he decided to put his trust in mankind by jumping into a rubber raft of spectators for safety. Then just this past week I shared with everyone my opinion of the tactics used by the terrorist organization Sea Shepherds to save the whales from being hunted by Japanese whalers in the Antarctic. All this made me think about an incident that took place a few thousand years ago in Israel about 780 BC with a prophet named Jonah.
Jonah lived about 170 years after the division of Israel into two kingdoms, when Nineveh was coming to the end of its reign as the leading power in the region. Nineveh had spread so much fear among its enemies that most Israelites prayed for a judgment upon it the likes of which happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. So when God called upon Jonah to go and preach to the people of Nineveh, he had different plans. Jonah 1:1-3 Now one needs to understand that it is a great honor to be chosen a leader, or in Jonah's case a prophet, of God. However, with positions of authority comes the responsibility of carrying out tasks that we may not like. Jonah was confronted with such a dilemma.
Jonah was well aware that the people of Nineveh (the Assyrians) were prideful sinners who had wreaked havoc upon both Israel and Judah over the years. Therefore, when God called him to go and warn them of God’s impending wrath, he was very reluctant. In fact his desire was to see that city destroyed and the empire of Assyria completely lose its power. So instead of going to Nineveh Jonah headed into the opposite direction. He wanted to avoid carrying out that task, because he feared God would show them mercy, and the heathens would be free to plunder and pillage Israel again.
In Jonah's journey to flee from the task God had given him Jonah ended up on a boat that was caught in a storm. This storm was so bad that it threatened the very lives of all on board. Jonah 1:1-5 Eventually Jonah confessed to the sailors that he was fleeing God and that they would only live if they threw him overboard. Jonah 1:12 At first they refused and attempted to row their way through the storm, but the storm just got worse. Jonah 1:13 Eventually they reluctantly threw Jonah overboard into the raging sea while asking God to forgive them for doing so. The storm let up, the sea became calm and almost immediately Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Jonah 1:14-16 He would spend the next three day in that whales belly. Jonah 1:17
Eventually Jonah repented and God had the whale regurgitate him up onto the shore. Jonah 2:1-10 The prophet headed to Nineveh and preached the message as God had instructed. What happened next was that the whole city repented and Nineveh experienced a spiritual revival. Jonah 3:1-10 Now, there are many lessons from this story that can be given, and probably the biggest is the lesson that Christ taught about His death and resurrection. Matthew 12:39-41 However, I want to look at the way God sent Jonah to preach to a people that he detested, a people who had spent the last hundred years trying to annihilate the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
God often calls us to do things we feel we are not ready or even willing to do but we must trust Him who knows us better then we know ourselves. When we trust Him we will eventually see that He is right, and if that means we are called to go to San Francisco and preach to the militant homosexual community, then so be it. The question for many Christians is, would you go to San Francisco if called to? What would you do if called to go to the Middle East to preach to the Muslims? How about the mountains of Afghanistan to share the gospel with the Taliban? In essence this is what God called Jonah to do. To preach to a people bent on the destruction of his country and the end of his world as he knew it.
This past week I have been involved in a debate over the legality of the actions by the Sea Shepherd animal rights group. I come from the angle that they are a dangerous terrorist organization whose members belong in prison, and so I must admit that my feelings for them are probably close to what Jonah thought about the Assyrians at Nineveh. Somewhere along the line the Lord convicted me and I was struck by the thought, “What if God wanted me to go to them and preach the gospel?” Maybe I would think there is no way they would repent and change their ways, so why would I go? Now I am not talking about changing their attitude towards hunting whales. I am speaking of them giving up their weapons of war, and taking up the Bible. And instead of being angry with the Japanese whalers, sharing the gospel of Christ with them instead!
This is not to say I will stop my campaign of exposing them and their terrorists acts of violence, but it did make me stop and realize that God loves everyone, and he does not wish for even one soul to perish. I am called to forgive those who transgress against me, and pray that those I transgress against will do the same. Matthew 6:9-13
We are coming into an election year. A lot of debates will take place all over American in town halls, town squares, and even on television as politicians vie for seats on city councils, governorships, and even federal offices. Let us, as Christians, remember to step back every now and then to remember what it is God calls us to do. We are called to share good news, not just with those we like, but even with those we are sure would rather see us dead. After all, one of the lessons of Jonah is helping those who are lost to be found, those who are blind to see, and those who are deaf to hear. Maybe along the way we will be used by God to begin a revival the likes of which have not been seen since the day a reluctant prophet was regurgitated from the belly of a whale.
I pray that those who have ears to hear will hear His voice and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen

Superior Swedish Sub Eludes Detection & Sinks American Aircraft Carrier USS Ronald Reagan
by OneVikeEver since WWII, America has been a dominant force upon the high seas. We have become so advanced in our military technology that the Soviet Union eventually collapsed, in large part because Ronald Reagan would not back down against them. In honor of his accomplishments and great leadership, congress named the worlds largest aircraft carrier after him, the USS Ronald Reagan. Well it has been 22 years since Reagan left office, and while we have been able to hold our status as the worlds most powerful military the world has ever seen, those days could be coming to an end.
Thanks in large part to the anti military sentiment that prevails in Washington, from both sides of the isle, America is losing the war of technical advancement. What you will see in this video is a submarine from Sweden the, NemoSaltadSobrius, that cannot be detected, and even worse it has reportedly sunk our best and most powerful naval ships in mock war games. Check out this report out of San Diego by Chuck Henry, who reports that America is attempting to figure out how to catch in before our enemies discover the secret of its elusiveness.
Video Proof the Sea Shepherd Activists Are Pirates Bent on Killing Humans
By One Vike
In this video you will see proof that Paul Watson's Sea Shepherd activists are in fact the aggressors in their war against the legal practice by the whale hunters. You will see the vessel the Steve Irwin, the black ship, intentionally ram into the Japanese vessel. As you can see,this is a crime that could result in the death of those on the vessel should it sink. Unlike the media reports we see in the Western media, this is not an innocent bump in the middle of the Ocean while the Sea Shepherd activists are protesting. It is attempted murder against the lives of ICR (Japanese) whalers that are not doing anything to retaliate except to respond with water cannons.
Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (CLOS) of December 10, 1982 Article 101 clearly defines what the Sea Shepherd does in this video as an act of aggression and piracy. Which makes sense that the Steve Irwin would be flying the Jolly Roger cross and bones flag of pirates.
Also, under Article VIII of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, (ICRW) the Japanese whale hunting is legal because of a loophole that allows them to do so for research purposes. Like it or not, killing whales is not murder, unless you are so twisted that you think humans are the "Aids if the Earth" as Paul Watson does.

Sea Shepherd Terrorists Throwing Bottles Containing Butric Acid at Whaling Ship
In my article on "The Way One Vike Sees it" blog about the Whale Wars, I said that the packets of rancid butter and other food items at the fishermen could cause a fisherman to get sick from food poisoning if hit in the mouth;
As it turns out, the actual contents of the smelly bombs is butyric acid. Butyric acid actually does have effects that can effect humans in a dangerous way. Researchers have even stated that if butryic acid gets in the eys it can leave the person permanently blind. Interesting because the Terrorists also use lasers that can blind people, all this is known by the terrorists that are members of the Sea Shepherd gouop. This from Sciencelab.com>.
Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath.
Hazards Identification
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation.
Now if you are hit in the mouth and accidentally digest this substance, this is what they advise;
First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
WARNING:
It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
So I guess in my attempt to show the Sea Shepherd terrorists as being extreme by using extreme descriptions for the smelly bombs effects on humans, was actually a lot closer to the truth then I thought. Amazing ain't it?
Check out this two video and you will see them throwing the bottles.

Sea Shepherd Terrorists Throwing Bottles Containing Butric Acid at Whaling Ship
In my article on "The Way One Vike Sees it" blog about the Whale Wars, I said that the packets of rancid butter and other food items at the fishermen could cause a fisherman to get sick from food poisoning if hit in the mouth;
As it turns out, the actual contents of the smelly bombs is butyric acid. Butyric acid actually does have effects that can effect humans in a dangerous way. Researchers have even stated that if butryic acid gets in the eys it can leave the person permanently blind. Interesting because the Terrorists also use lasers that can blind people, all this is known by the terrorists that are members of the Sea Shepherd gouop. This from Sciencelab.com.
Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath.
Hazards Identification
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation.
Now if you are hit in the mouth and accidentally digest this substance, this is what they advise;
First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
WARNING:
It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
So I guess in my attempt to show the Sea Shepherd terrorists as being extreme by using extreme descriptions for the smelly bombs effects on humans, was actually a lot closer to the truth then I thought. Amazing ain't it?

Great Video of the “Christ of the Abyss” Statue Under the Waters off Key Largo
In the video at the end of this article, you will see an approximate nine foot bronze sculpture that symbolizes peace of mankind from its unusual setting - beneath the ocean at Key Largo Dry Rocks off John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The statue and the replicas like it around the world are known as the "Il Christo Degli Abissi" or in English - "Christ of the Abyss".
The original sculpture, (above) the "Il Cristo degli Abissi", is in the Mediterranean sea off San Fruttuoso between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. It was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 meters depth, and stands 2.5 meters (8.5 feet) tall. Professor Guido Galletti cast the original from the inspiration of the first Italian to use SCUBA gear, swimmer/diver Duilo Merchant. Galletti wanted a symbol to inspire all who explored and loved the sea in 1954. In 1961.

The statue depicts Christ in a pose offering peace. His hands and head are raised toward the surface (or the sky, when positioned above water). Due to increasing amounts of corrosion and the growth of crustaceans, the statue was removed from the water and restored in 2003. A hand that had been detached by an anchor was also replaced. The statue was returned to the water with a new base on 17 July 2004.

A second bronze sculpture cast from the same mold exists off the coast of St George in the Caribbean. This was a gift of the navy of Genoa for assistance in rescuing the crew of Italian vessel Bianca C' destroyed by fire in the port of St. George. The sculpture was placed under water on October 22, 1961.
A third bronze from the original mold was presented to the Underwater Society of America in New York in 1962. On August 25 1965 it was placed approximately 25 feet off the waters of Key Largo, Florida. It is located around Dry Rocks, around six miles North east of Key Largo in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. While the statue weighs around 400 pounds, the concrete base to which it is attached weights about 20,000 pounds. Various other casts of the statue exist both under water and above water in churches and museums.

The original clay statue minus the hands was located in a foundry in 1993. This is now on display with replacement hands at the National Museum of Underwater Activities in Ravenna, Italy.
