ACTUAL transcript of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. This radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10-10-95. Americans: “Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.” Canadians: “Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.” Americans: “This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.” Canadians: “No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.” Americans: “THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT’S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.” Canadians: “This is a lighthouse. Your call.” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-obstinate-lighthouse/

Q: what is the understanding of a blonde about “protected sex”?
A: locking the car’s doors. **************************** Four friends, girls, were together in a park. All of a sudden, the red-haired said: “I will tell my boyfriend about all my past adventures.” The brown-haired: “That is stupidity!” The brunette: “That is courage!” The blonde: “That is good memory!” A driver was happy driving in the country-side, looking around to the beautiful scenery. He did not pay attention the asphalt ended and the road was very muddy ahead. Too late, his sport car was stuck before he could stop the car. He tried, but in vain, the car was cemented. A farmer passed by, on the horseback of a huge horse. “Can you help me? “asked the frustrated driver. “Sure. It will cost you fifty dollars.” No problem, the horse did the trick and pulled out the car. “Luckily you were around,” said the driver after he payed the fifty dollars. “I stay around all day, you are the driver number four for the day who I saved, and it is not noon yet.” “And when do you work the land?” “Well,” said the farmer, “night time I am busy pouring water in this place.” A guy opened the barber's door and asked the barber how long he has to wait for a hair cut. Being a busy day, the hairdresser looked around and responded: "About two hours." The guy left in a hurry. Few days later the same guy entered the barber shop and asked again how long he has to wait for a hair cut. Being a crowded day again, the barber looked around and answered: "About three hours." And again, the guy left in a hurry and did not come back. Few days later the same story repeats. The barber, already curious, asked his disciple Ben: “Ben, follow the guy and see what on earth is he doing.” Ben obeyed and run after the guy. He was back in twenty minutes. “Well,” said the barber, “where did this guy go after he left?” Ben, all smiles, replied: “At your house.” When I turn my TV on US news these days, it is mostly about Jon McCain’s death. RIP. I honestly appreciated his work as a senator and his standings when he run for the US president. I honestly do. Remarkable. But for me he was not a hero. I hate war, and if you read my books you will see it plain and simple. As a pilot John McCain’s jet fighter dropped bombs over populated areas, killing people, good and bad. He truly believed he served his country and when he became a POW he showed what he is made of; but still not a hero. Killing people in the name of an idea is not hero. Those sending people to fight take advantage of their credulity. Just think of Trump who found a way to cheat the system and avoid going for fight in Vietnam, then mocked John McCain when he run for president. These are the very bad guys (Trump-like guys), soldiers like McCain are just silly pawns. I will give you some examples. If you visit Mongolia you will see Genghis Khan statues in the most visible places, the biggest national hero. But he killed millions to fulfill his maniacal dream; starting from nothing he built the biggest empire existing on Earth before him. Is he a hero or a monster? Depends who you ask. Same for Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and believe it or not there are many considering Stalin and Hitler as heroes. Killing people under the umbrella of an ideology, political differences, religion intolerance, cultural or language differences is still a murder, not punished by rules of law, because the rulers use the means of war for their advantage, and they make the rules. Question: What US president prolonged a war only to win re-election? Hint: we talk about the same Vietnam war. This morning CNN early news brought again in the spotlight the case of those pedophile priests. More then 300 “fathers” with serious predatory allegations against kids. Is something worse than that? Let’s stick to numbers. More that 300 in Pennsylvania alone, and there are 50 US states. And my take is that the phenomena is not happening only in US. And wait, Catholicism is not the only faith worshiping God. There are Anglicans, Protestants, Christian Orthodox, and many-many sects. Are all priests with this wicked appetite migrating to Catholicism because the church protects them? Personally, I do not think so. The church is supposing to educate and protect our souls. Instead, many pretending doing so are killing our souls; and their attack is against the most vulnerable among us, the kids. I saw a documentary where some of those abused as kids by priests, talked about their experience when they became adults. I hardly can imagine a most damaging experience. One remembered a fellow kid committing suicide. The pleasure of vicious priests suggests the lack of empathy toward the victim. Guess what? They were supposed to be understanding, compassionate and directing. They are quite the opposite, seems to me their boss is the devil. And the church does what? Cover it all, moving them from one parish to another, so, the abused and their relative and friends loose track of them. I have two questions:
