hugs for the wiser stronger mexicans

the narrowness of mexican minds is showing itself at the FIFA World Cup which has to be embarrasing to any intelligent mexicans (it is to my mexican friends as the world asks are there any intelligent mexicans? after the mexican coach defends the shameful anti-gay slur mexican fans shout, as if they don't mean it in a demeaning way when they do it, at times, specifically to try to distract the goalie or penalty kicker... the saddest thing is the FIFA decided to do nothing, so now ESPN must decide if they are doing to broadcast ten thousand fans screaming faggot in spanish... i wonder what ESPN would do if they were yelling something else about blacks or jews or another group of people... then again, based on slavery, concentration camps, and the many racial and religious wars continuing to this day, people love to hate and ridicule each other too much to care about it much... that ESPN would choose to broadcast it and blame it on FIFA though, that is surprising... and we pretend to be so outraged when children are exposed to sex or violence, but hate, people teach children hate and ridicule regularly on broad scales... teach your children well... m'ok?...

the silliest thing about homophobia is that is shows the weakness and fear and doubt so many people have about who they are, as if a gay person is some sort of threat to them... big tough guys who are reduced to pathetically defensive bully behavior because they are insecure about their own masculinity really need to get a clue about themselves and the weakness they show anyone watching them as they push and project their fears on others...

and for my mexican friends (en espagnol) who respect truth and equality and enlightened thinking (as well as the mexican government, who opposed the fans actions, these words are hugs as i call out the few who give them a public black eye... saddest of all is not that the mexicans gave away the game in the last ten minutes to a team they outplayed all day, sadder than the loss is the way the coach and the mexican color commentator represented mexicans as sore losers and whining victims by clearly saying the whole world was against mexico all along... paranoid much?... i want to give my mexican friends a hug for the ignorant, insensitive, small minded way some fans act and the way mexicans are represented by their leaders in world soccer... so that's what we bring away from the 2014 world cup for mexico, sore losers and paranoid homophobic cry babies... and i thought the nba clippers owner and lebron were bad (hey, the usa has just as many ignorant immature representatives out there, after all)...

who am i to judge, anyway... you can judge for yourself based on whether you choose to be offended by truth or insults, aye?...

brazil 2016?

not for me... not for the 2016 olympics or any other time as i can sit on a beach or in a hotel anywhere and it is not safe to explore much beyond the confines of a rental car... especially not if i was a woman... the out of control machismo that comes from the patriarchal culture that brings us priests sexually abusing children and human trafficking all over the world brings us public gang rapes on public transportation in brazil, india, and likely many other places in this world where women are too oppressed to even report it because they know, like in the recent gang rape in brazil, the male-dominated police will not take it seriously or investigate thoroughly... who knows how many crimes happen in the hotels or on the beaches, for that matter... it is not a safe place for a couple as boyfriends or husbands are just beaten out of the way as the penises make their way to vaginas without any intelligent or compassionate thought in the brains of the men... and it's especially unsafe for a woman alone... no, brazil is the third world by social cultural standards, but then, sadly, the first world is not much safer for women either...

and while we're on this particular complaint, the punishments never fit the crime even when police do their jobs... rape is a life changing act that never completely goes away... so is complete castration, which will insure it never happens again from that penis... does a person who murdered someone with a gun get to get a new gun permit after prison?... if a man knew he might become a woman, or at least lose his penis if he raped someone, he might think twice about going through with it... unless, of course, he was drunk... being drunk is always a great excuse... but how about if someone commits a violent crime when drunk, they are no longer permitted to get drunk?... simply, they go to jail if they are found drinking again since they have proven they are dangerous when drinking... punishments that truly deter crimes are not popular in our culture which is why there is so much crime... many rapists just blame women the whole time they are in prison and can't wait until they get out so they can do it again... why give them the chance... too harsh?... i don't think anyone who has not been raped has the right to judge...

a culture learns right from wrong best when punishments fit a crime... the human species is so frighteningly immature and deliberately stupid, it is likely we will destroy ourselves as so many species have in the history of this planet...

sometimes others complain better



SO TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHAT YOU THINK

in other words, care, show you care, stand up for your rights, speak out against greed and corporate injustice, keep your internet from being swallowed up by the worst of the corporate pirates... the internet is still the one place where the dream lives, where anyone can start a website and become a multi-billionaire if they just have the right idea and it goes viral... the greedy ones want to stop that, they want to make it challenging to compete, they want to turn the internet into real life where there are glass ceilings and caste systems and the 1% obscenely hold 90% of the power and money and the rest of us just suck it up and accept the unfairness of our socio-eceonomic slavery...

don't let them kill the freedom and equality of the internet, it's the only place where freedom and equality still truly exist... the video above has almost 4 million hits, 4 million views, 4 million visits... if the greedy ones get their way, videos like this will be restricted unless they pay the greedy ones for the right to the bigger audience... that is not right... the internet, we the people should have the right to decide who deserves our attention, not some corporate billionaire... so give THEM a few million hits... tell them what you think about their idea to end net neutrality, to not only legalize the internet providers monopoly, but to give the internet providers the right to decide who wins and who loses your attention based on how much they are paid...

corruption will follow us to our graves if we let this happen...

taco bull

also known as fast food, where there is no accountability or quality control because the corporations that own fast food pay off the inspectors to look the other way because that is a whole lot cheaper than paying a decent wage that would attract responsible workers and that is why the hands that make fast food are still wiping snot from their nose as they leave the bathroom without washing their hands because, after all, that is what teenagers do... the exceptions would not work fast food, after all... and yes, of course this is a broad generalization, but if you've ever watched the workers in a fast food store (or ever worked in one), then you know that there is so much truth in it, i'll let it stand...

so no wonder i stop at a taco bell to try their newest product and find it is not prepared as it is advertised... they probably didn't train the kid or insure he or she knew how to make the product they are spending millions to advertise... that would be quality control, after all... and once again i can drive by taco bell without craving any of their junk... every fear months or year or so i seem to need to remind myself that the food corporations do not care and more than any other corporation so it is foolish to expect them to feed me right...

another meaningless complaint registered with corporate america... in this case, corporate slop... and what did you have for dinner tonight?...

kaspersky sucks yet again

this is getting to the point where, in spite of my comfort level with the status quo and my desire not to change too much deep root stuff on a computer (like an anti-virus software or security suite), a change in software is a very real possibility as once again, kaspersky pure 3.0 almost shut down my computer and required me to stop what i was doing to turn off the automatic scan that will not run in the background without disconnecting my internet connection, slowing the computer to a crawl (or stop), and sometimes just locking the computer up completely... i've had kaspersky for years, i believe i am in my third 3 year subscription for multple computers, but it is getting worse again... if anyone can tell me how to set this annoying kaspersky pure 3.0 to not start an automatic scan when i am using the computer, like the computer must be idle for at least 30 minutes before it starts, i'd appreciate it... so i sent them this:

I have searched the knowledge base repeatedly for this "scheduled scan" "how do I stop a scheduled scan from running when I am using the computer?" That is what I want to know. I have idle scan on. The scans (full, critical, vulnerability) are set to run in the middle of the night. They often automatically turn on as I am using the computer and either disconnect my internet connection, slow the computer to a crawl, stop the computer completely, It is very annoying, delays work, and I sometimes lose work which is unacceptable and has be exploring alternatives when my 3 year license expires (this is my second or third 3 year license so I want to stay with Kaspersky, but the interruption of work must stop).

I just want to know how to stop the scheduled scan from starting when I am using the computer. I have not found a feature that sets the scheduled fan to wait until the computer has been idle for a specified period of time. That would be what I need.

Thanks,

and hopefully they will not tell me there is no such feature to configure Pure 3.0 to not interrupt an active CPU process and I must remember (cuz the biggest problem is i forget kaspersky does this and then have something lock up and must either reboot or wait for the unlocking to happen and hope it does cuz sometimes it doesn't) to manually open the console before i do anything else every time I wake the computer and wait for the scan to automatically start so i can press the stop or pause button which is just another way Kaspersky forces me to interrupt my work...

it's the before i do anything else that destroys any momentary inspiration for writing or immediate work that needs to be done or quick search for something, the three biggest reasons i have a computer in the first place so once again, if that is the only solution, kaspersky may just have to go...

he said just sayin'
















maybe they heard the fans of professional basketball teams and stopped pandering to the street ballers for one season... too late for many who are not into the brute force fighting sports... but maybe the refs will stop putting restrictions on finesse and true talent and stop rewarding bullying for a while...

the nba script remains the same

lebron can do no wrong, miami must win... lebron can bully physically and verbally, no problem... just ignore the blatant violation of rules because lebron brings the money in... miami cheats... miami bullies... tony parker was taken out of the game by a deliberate elbow to the gut, the wind up and blow was clear on replay... sacrifice a player and a flagrant foul to take out the other teams better player... hockey sucks because of that... basketball sucks because of that... sad the usa culture has come to that... lebron hits tony parker in the face then hits his hand, but because he screams at the refs there is no foul called and they give them a free time out to review the play... obvious foul, no call... just before that parker was about to start a fast break and the refs stop play because they 24 second clock ran out on miami... but parket already had the ball, so why stop play?... to stop the san antonio fast break... less than a minute later ginobli is hit in the face, no foul... then lebron falls down and a foul is called... cheaters prosper in the nba... the announcers ignore it in the last minute, the refs decide the game in the last minute, that is the nba script... pathetic and the miami greatness is tainted beyond repair... three years in a row the refs decide the key games... other players would be thrown out of games for yelling ar refs, for cursing like lebron does... he gets rewarded at the end of the game... there is no doubt lebron has amazing talent, but his talent is worthless as long as the refs are not holding him to the same rules as every other player...

and the class of the spurs... the coach puts the responsibility squarely on the the spurs lack of passing and that is definitely why they lost the game... whenever ginobli tries to go one on one and shoot stupid shots from outside in the last few minutes, the spurs lose... sure, the refs took leonard out of the game with cheap and bogus fouls... and definitely the refs gave miami extra points, without which miami would have lost... but the refs would have had to make even more flagrant bias calls for miami to win if san antonio did not have ginobli on the floor in the last few minutes... just like last year... he has his place and he is a great player, but he is not the one you want handling the ball in the last few minutes, not if you want to win... the announcers are such kiss ass ridiculous wastes - leonard is oh for two?... the same announcing team said before the game leonard was the difference in game one and that miami was in trouble,,, not miami can do no wrong... what a waste of time...

before game two i wondered if the nba would let san antonio have a fair shot at winning... they didn't... every year, the nba leaves a bad taste in the mouths of anyone who really knows basketball... their popularity is losing the mainstream, whether they see it or not...

kaspersky, dammit

i don't know if i am going to renew the kaspersky pure 3.0 license when it expires cuz the scan automatically happens even when i am using the computer even though i have it set not to and the scan stops me from being able to use my computer slowing it so much that it takes five to ten minutes to open the kaspersky console and stop the scan and the moment i finally can stop it, the computer runs just fine and i can use my computer again... the frustration reached i want another virus protection program level tonight so if anybody out there knows of a protection suite that actually works without taking over the computer when i am using the computer, let me know...

kaspersky, you are losing me and the three licenses i pay for...
