Media Piranha - September 2009

Tax The Rich...

September 25th 2009 10:58
New York State decides that the best way to deal with all its problems is to raise taxes on everyone and everything. New York may soon see a 'millionaire tax' to do what has been considered a form of justice by many, that is to say tax the rich. A song by Ten Years After states to "...Tax the rich, feed the poor, until there are no rich no more...!"

Sometimes what might seem like a solution may actually widen the State's budget gap. Especially when millionaires move out of the State and go elsewhere! This means that others who are already being heavily taxed will have to pick up the burden in this slumping economy. Add to the equation that the rich that leave take with them hundreds of thousands of jobs.


Although many had thought that California might have been the first state to collapse, it now seems that New York State may be holding on by a thread.

Death To Atheists!

September 21st 2009 16:21
OK, before anybody jumps down my throat, the title was only an attention-getter. I don't really wish death or anything else on any human being. I am actually talking about statistics showing that atheists are a dying breed. This really shouldn't surprise anyone because Western Civilization is also a dying breed. See Europe!

Comment:
Atheists are a minority as a whole. Religion and beliefs are a part of over 95% of the world's population as a whole. Wicca is even a religion. Still because it is not a mainstream 'religion' it may be ranked in the atheist category.


Here are the major religions ranked by size. Islam is growing and Christianity seems to be slowing or dying. Contrary to popular belief, I don't believe that Christianity is on the road to extinction.

In case you don't know it, Satanism may be considered a religion due to its belief in Satan. Again it may be filed under the atheism category or perhaps the 'other' category.

In conclusion, one should consider the fact that if one doesn't believe in something that may be considered their beliefs and religion, they still have a belief and therefore a religion. Atheism is a belief that there is not a superior being. Atheism is a religion!

Rush claimed in the songFreewill that "...if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Your belief is your religion!

Think about it!

Hollywood Runs Out of Ideas

September 17th 2009 16:53
You can tell that Hollywood is running out of ideas and is relying on hype and DVDs to sell its garbage. The Transformer movies are hype with iconic sex symbols in a made-for-brainless-entertainm ent to cater to lonely geeks!

Since it ran out of good Marvel and DC comic hero movies, it is switching its attention to Hasbro toys. A Stretch Armstrong movie is being made into a reality, since The Fantastic Four movie has had a sequel in a dreamworld. Along with that there is a movie based on the board game, Battleship!

Next perhaps there will be a film about Chutes 'n Ladders or some other idea lacking film. Either way, the hype is sure to attract the easily amused and entertained that are willing to pay to watch garbage on a big screen.

Anniversary Message

September 15th 2009 18:45
This goes extremely well with my previous post. If you thought that we heard the last of that blow-hard Osama, well guess again!

In an anniversary taunt, bin Laden continues to give his views on a tape released a couple of days after the anniversary of 9/11. Osama bin Laden continues to warn of possible attacks. From article

Where's Jihad Waldo?

September 12th 2009 14:21
It's been over eight years and still there is no sign of the main target from 9/11. Osama bin Laden continues to avoid capture. Each day that bin Laden remains free is great PR for al Qaeda.

Apparently his ill health has been over exaggerated. It is doubtful that he and Ayman al-Zawahiri are living in a cave. We know that bin Laden is still alive because his tapes and videos are consistent with world events

Atheists vs. NASA

September 4th 2009 18:46
Well it seems that NASA has ignited the wrath of the American Atheists. It seems they have a problem with a space missionary!

I find it funny that atheists are only offended by Christian proselytizing. From the article
