Sevenload Thinks Americans Are Uneducated Morons

rmiles7721March 27, 200721Technology

Apparently someone read my nasty post from yesterday morning about Sevenload because they stopped by and left this comment last night. Now that I am actually awake and have re-read the comment, I stand by my first post. Apparently if we don’t agree with them about Guantanamo Bay we are uneducated people. That’s a pretty heft portion of the U.S. Population.

Dear shadowscope,

we understand your concern that uneducated people might feel infuriated by what happened at Guantanamo. Let me assure you, though, that we do not feel we have a stance against America. We feel it is our duty to offer an unbiased access to topics that spring up in our community. In the wake of the Saddam execution video, the topic became part of the extended discussion on our site. We created a special to allow users to comment on both sides of the story. no more and no less than that. We only believe in a citizen’s web of open discussion. However, we have withdrawn the special as this discussion has now passed it’s prime and we are reflecting on a balanced way to lead that discussion. We cordially invite you to join in!

At least they had the nuts to stop by and comment. That’s more than I can say for a lot of people. They have also taken down the section that I was referring to. I will stop by the site this afternoon and give it a proper review and at least change the title of the prior post. I don’t need to stop by and look at anything, the comment they left tells me everything that I need to know. Apparently Sevenload has decided to take a political stance against the United States and thinks that bloggers like this are uneducated and not able to make decisions for ourselves unlike their surrender monkey selves, but then I guess we all have our opinions and like any other consumer, it is buyer beware. I vote with my feet, and my feet are carrying me back to Youtube

I see that Dave Berube also received the same comment from Sevenload that I did last night.

New Tolkien Novel to be Released

rmiles7721March 27, 2007Entertainment

Christopher Tolkien has finished the final novel set in Middle Earth, based upon notes left by his father. The Children of Hurin is set to be released next month. I am really looking forward to taking a look at this once it is released.

Next Position Please…

rmiles7721March 26, 2007Blogging

I ran across this meme over at Blissful Bedlam and it looked sort of cool, so I though I would put it here. Basically you list as many jobs as you have held for each letter of the alphabet. At least according to Chickie, it needs to be positions that you have been compensated for. I’m not going to tag anyone either, if you want it, here it is…

A –
B – Bagger, as in grocery stores, Blogger (I am getting compensated after all), Baker (of Donuts)
C – Construction (siding, roofing, cleanup), Computer Repair and Consultant, Cook (four different companies)
D – District Manager
E –
F –
G – Grounds-keeper for an Apartment Complex
H –
I –
J –
K –
L – Landscaping (four or five different companies)
M – Maintenance Man for another Apartment Complex, Manager of fast food restaurants.
N –
O –
P – Photographer’s Assistant (two different photographers), Professional Asshole (more ways than one to get compensated, sometimes it comes from satisfaction)
Q –
R –
S – Stock Clerk for a grocery store.
T – Technical Services Specialist (IT), Technical Support for an ISP
U – Unemployed (I had the great majority of these jobs before I ever even turned 20 but surprisingly enough I spent most of the time unemployed), Unit Manager
V –
W – Waiter
X –
Y –
Z –

I was sure that I actually had more than that. Fairly long considering that I have worked for the same company now for over twenty years. If I think of any more I may have to add to it.

I am glad to hear that the guys are alive. I had actually heard about this, one of my cooks was late for work the other night because one of his nephews is one of the firemen.

At Least They Didn’t Kill the Retard…

Just finished watching 24. I have missed it for several weeks, although I do have them recorded. Now I am going to have to go back through and see the ones that I missed. I thought for sure Jack was going to get the retarded guy killed. I am glad he lived.

Remember Elian?

rmiles7721March 26, 2007Site News

Back when the whole deal about Elian Gonzales (sp?) was happening the actions of our elected government officials sickened me. It was awful. Apparently right now we have a similar (but different) situation playing out. So how are we going to handle it this time?

Attack of the Repelling Painters

rmiles7721March 26, 2007Uncategorized

Damned if I wouldn’t have to shoot someone if they suddenly repelled onto my balcony with a paintbrush.

Say hello to Charlie while you are there. Don’t know if he would claim me, but he is another online relative.

My Aunt has also gotten into the act with a bit of her art.

Anna Nicole Smith Died from Accidental Overdose

rmiles7721March 26, 20072Site News

The Autopsy is done. Apparently the Broward County medical examiner has had the report ready since at least March 7th, but wanted to make sure that none of the investigation changed it. Apparently they all agree that she died from an accidental drug overdose. According to the ME she was taking nine different medications at the time of her death including some sleeping pills.

Maybe now this will lay a lot of it to rest and all we have to worry about 🙂 is who gets the money, I mean, who gets the kid. That is what all the hullabaloo is about isn’t it?

Sevenload = Surrender Monkeys

rmiles7721March 26, 20074Entertainment, Technology

Sevenload is the new German video and photo portal like youtube. I just found a link to it and thought it was a good idea. Youtube is cool, but more sites in that vein will be nice. As soon as the page loaded I saw a link to this article about Guantanamo Bay. I guess I’m done there.
