The Missing Link Between Creation & Evolution?


God Created Man.
The hearts and intellect of Mankind have been evolving throughout times; although sometimes this evolution can be quite narrow-minded – this is the case of a theory called Evolutionism.

Evolutionism is trying to convince us that humans evolved gradually from monkeys, fish and, more recently, from lemurs. This process was very slow, taken place over many generations; resulting in several changes in their physical characteristics.
I could work with this because whenever I look at some people’s face, indeed, I do see a parrot, a monkey (simian-like people), a lemur (those people with huge, protruding, eyes), a lizard, a dog etc...I could be led into thinking that individuals who resemble these animals may have evolved from certain creatures...
However, Evolutionism has not, does not and never will explain the origin of creation properly; and more importantly the purpose of creation.

Creationism: God Created Man.
Evolutionism: That’s an absurd. It can’t be proven. Man is the result of an evolution.
Creationism: Ok; let’s hear it – evolution from what?
Evolutionism: Darwin, for example, said we evolved from animals.
Creationism: All right. And animals evolved from what?
Evolutionism: Animals were initially organisms that were bound to improve themselves and were subject to complex progressive changes.
Creationism: “bound to improve themselves”...Bound by Whom?
Evolutionism: By the Primordial Soup (where organic molecules could be created in an oxygen-less atmosphere through the action of sunlight). Then the process of cellularization took place (formation of primitive lipids in the surface metabolism, which led to the formation of lipid membranes, which evolved to self-supporting lipid membranes and closed cells [called pre-cells as inasmuch as they allow frequent exchange of genetic material, by fusion] which caused the existence of life and a rapid early evolution).
Creationism: Hmm...However, Who created the proper environment so that the Primordial Soup could come into existence (bounding, thus, organisms to improve themselves)? And why?
Evolutionism: ...............................................................................

Let’s join hands...

Hello Kitty...Bye Kitty!


“One…two Kitty is coming for you. Three…four better lock your door. Five…six grab your crucifix. Seven…eight gonna stay up late. Nine…ten Never Sleep Again!”

Most girlies love Hello Kitty; which makes me think that perhaps I am the weirdest woman on earth. But I am not (there is worst out there) thus I decided to sit and analyse why Miss Hello gets to my wits so much, and I came to the conclusion that 3 things are hazardous in her:

  1. The silly flower she wears in her head
  2. The predilection for pink.
  3. The fact that she has no mouth.

Wearing flowers in the hair looks beautiful and romantic in the movies; but in real life…bugs migrate from the flower to one’s hair, resulting into an itchy scalp (then if in the company of a love interest one can’t even scratch the head lest he thinks one has seborrhoea).
Whenever I look at Kitty’s frocks (pink, pink, pink) I just feel like telling her “Darling, there are other colours in this world!” and offer myself to re-do her entire wardrobe. Does anyone take females in pink seriously? No.

Interestingly enough, Hello Kitty has no mouth. What is the underlying message here? It is quite simple: “Females…shut it!!”
Kitty is there to brainwash girls into shutting their pretty and rosy little mouths and doing what they were born to do…dressed in pink, with a red apron, and a flower in their heads.

Mothers of the world: society needs intelligent, strong, independent women; but that is not what it is going to get if you keep on brainwashing your girls with this frightening doll.

One…two Kitty is coming for you. Three…four better lock your door. Five…six grab your crucifix. Seven…eight she’ll doom your fate. Nine…ten You’ll Be Gagged Again!

Arrogance...


Israel is known for its tight security (I particularly love the question with which Israeli Security forces welcome foreigners “Why have you come to this country?” – it is not in vain they are the best in security matters) and the issue of visas is part of the complex national security web that country has woven for itself. However, some individuals do not understand this and, moreover, feel offended for not having a special status when it comes to getting their visas…please read the words of Mr Jay Bushinsky (a former diplomatic reporter for the Jerusalem Post):

“In most cases, though not all, admission is granted. But by then, there is a permanent residue of resentment if not hostility on the journalist’s part. The B-1 visa which is issued to foreign correspondents is identical to the one granted to African, Chinese, Thai and European manual laborers and Filipino caregivers. It allows them to work here for one year, after which the visa must be renewed annually for a maximum of five years.”

Allow yourself to ponder on the following sentence “The B-1 visa which is issued to foreign correspondents is identical to the one granted to African, Chinese, Thai and European manual laborers and Filipino caregivers.” …how arrogant could this respectable journalist be?
First of all, the tone with which this “gentleman” speaks of manual laborers and caregivers suggests that they are inferior to him, and his class (foreign press). Second, by pointing out specific nationalities (African, Chinese, Thai, European [for sure Latin & East Europeans] and Filipino) he allows to transpire his prejudice towards what he apparently believes to be second rate world citizens.

Speaking of prejudice…Bushinsky…Isn’t this a Jewish name? It is always delightful to see a member of the Chosen People; a people that was persecuted and slaughtered like cattle (not long ago…for we still remember and mourn HaShoah); practicing the deceiving art of bigotry, racism and utter stupidity. Jewish people remain the target of prejudice…how can any of them have short memory and be a bigot?
Mr. Bushinsky entitled his article as “Israel is shooting itself in the foot” but I’d say that Mr. Bushinsky, with his pauper choice of words, is the one who shot himself in his own arrogant foot.

Inside a Woman's head on Valentine's Day


Every 14th of February is the same business hype: exchanging presents is nearly compulsory.
Men are not the most creative creatures when it comes to offer gifts, therefore they rely on stereotypes (of what women “really like”) and on marketing.
What goes inside a woman’s head when she gets a present she doesn’t particularly fancy?

A man offers his beloved chocolates
“Why is he offering me chocolates? He knows I am on a diet. But it’s ok, I’ll go earlier to the office and I’ll give them to Juanita (the cleaning lady) – she's such a cute little chubby woman, and she's always so nice to me.”
Yes, TV commercials tell men that chocolates are an appropriate gift, and then when women ask them how fat they are…men lie.

A man gives red roses to his darling (accompanied by a teddy bear with a big heart)
“Roses…again!? Oh God, I hate roses [«Thanks, sweetie: I love them, they are beautiful *kiss*!»]! And this toy; what am I: 13? This is so Lolita…”
Men have this notion that all women love roses, flowers in general. A small advice: get your facts straight. And teddies for grown up women: forget about it!

A man bestows upon his lady perfume (the one he saw on TV)
“Oh Lord…so predictable! Oh well, I’ll wear it once and then give it to my mother.”
A man should take the time to know his lady’s skin scent; because not all perfumes go with a particular skin type – so, don’t let TV commercials tell you what to offer.

A man presents the cell-phone he saw on an outdoor to his significant other
“If I wanted another cell-phone I would’ve bought it with my own money (and in the right colour too: I hate pink).What kind of angle is he trying to play here?”
*No comments*…

The traditional Valentine’s dinner
She might be tired and she might not want to go out on this particular evening, she might just want to stay put, read a book…in silence.

Marketing and stereotypes are a man’s worst enemy, and somehow he keeps falling for them.
As a woman, I’d suggest men to study their women attentively and give them what they really like; otherwise when “sweatin’ up the sheets” their lovers might be singing (inside their heads) “Oh yessss, I’m the great pretender!”
