The Condom Discussion

 Around forty years ago, scientists, politicians and social agenda people made it a big deal that when some 'action' occurred between consenting adults....a condom needed to be worn.  

This year (in the last month)....out in California....they reached a new plateau on the condom deal.  If in the middle or toward the end of the act.....if this guy were to stop for a second and do some 'quickie-move' to remove the condom (then continue on)....he needs to stop his actions and ask for permission from the gal or guy.  

You can imagine this scene where a discussion starts up....maybe for ten to twenty minutes, and the arousing moment has come to pass, and this discussion opens up this need for a six-pack of beer or a couple of shots of rum.

If you failed to discuss this or get an understanding?  Well....it's sexual battery.

A misdemeanor conviction on sexual battery?  It's worth six months in jail (up to 1 year) and $2,000 in a fine (actually $3,000 if they were an employee of yours).

A felony conviction on sexual battery?  It's worth two to four years of prison, and a max fine of $10,000.

What'll happen over the next year?  I would go and suggest at least three-hundred cases involving the condom business.  In some cases, you might even have one single woman who has alerted the police on a dozen guys.  

All of this will eventually lead to some digital contract that party 'A' and party 'B' sign and submit to some online service.....indicating they both agree to a 'remove-the-condom' event being approved.  As silly as it sounds....it's the bold new world we live in. 

But this will also lead to a conversation stage where some women and guys will want a long two-hour discussion over sexual practices, intentions, past behavior, and general hygiene habits of their male partners.....which to most guys....will be too much talking and sharing of personal data.  Some guys will just draw the line and say.....'you know what, I don't need this California regulation on my back....so I'm leaving the state.'

As funny as it sounds.....a condom will help to trigger another exit stage from the state.

Explaining This Difference Between ISIS-K and the Taliban

 Ever since the Afghan crisis started up (still continuing, just don't tell Joe that)....I've had this curious nature over the Taliban and their archenemy....the ISIS-K 'team'.

I thought, from a western prospective going back several years....that any team that was pro-Muhammad/Islam was probably friendly with another team that was pro-Muhammad/Islam.  Well....I was wrong.

So after a fair amount of reading....there is this epic saga that I need to lay out.

You see....group 'A' and group 'B' have differing views on the Muhammad Hadith business.  What's a Hadith?  In this period that Muhammad lived (over 1,200 years ago).....various people observed Muhammad, his words, and his actions.....then had Hadiths they wrote up (basically interpretation of what they felt he said or would have said).  Then some others had an opposing Hadith (a differing interpretation of they felt he said or did).  

Down one path went the Taliban, and down the opposing path went ISIS-K.

The ISIS-K crowd?  They have this 'story' which concerns a end-of-the-world prophecy (yeah, kinda like those Christian folks who have the Revelations chapter to deal with).

This 'story' basically concerns a battle, where true Muslims (not pretender Muslims or fake Muslims) will fight the epic final battle against the evil non-Muslims.

There's a video existing....fine propaganda-like story, which tells this story over how things will be at Dabiq, Syria.....where things will come to a close.  

Dabiq in reality?  It's a fairly green valley area in northern Syria...maybe 10 miles from the Turkish border.  Folks there mostly farm.  Maybe 3,000 residents in the whole district, and most would describe the area as a pretty quiet place.

How Dabiq ever got onto the legend business of some epic soon-to-be battle?  Well....it simply got onto a Hadith and no one really stood there to ask questions.  

I will admit....around 500 years ago, some battle did occur there already, but this was a Turk-versus-Mamluk Sultanate group.  The Sultanate group?  It's an oddball group composing of a minimum of seven ethnic groups (Crimeans, Greeks, and Albanians among the group).  Certainly not crusader types unless you really stretch the meaning.

So you stand back and look at this landscape.  In some funny way....the Taliban guys are regarded as not full-up Muslim folks.  The ISIS-K group?  They see only themselves as full-up members.

All of this leading back to various Hadiths....are basically lectures of what people felt Muhammad meant by this and that?  More or less.  

Which Came First? Domestication of the Human, or the Dog?

 99.9-percent of scientists will say that the human was all domesticated and later came the introduction of 'Rufus' (the dog).

I have a different theory (although admitting I'm not a scientist).  

I would suggest around 20,000 years ago....in some remote valley, Yorg (the cave-guy) walked over some hill, and here was a Border Collie who he affectionally named 'Marvin'.  

Marvin (the Border Collie) felt generally superior, and over the next week came to notice several traits about Yorg that needed improving.  

Namely?  Well....Yorg never walked in a straight line from point A to point B.  Marvin began to grasp this and 'bump' Yorg's leg....to keep him focused and walking in a straight line.  

Then there was the intense stare of Marvin upon Yorg....which unsettled Yorg a bit....causing him to scrutinize his habits and behavior.  

The herding business?  This also caused Yorg to change his daily actions.

If they didn't do the daily walks?  Well....Marvin would start to develop demanding tasks of Yorg, to keep him busy.

Hatred of lightning or thunder?  Marvin convinced Yorg to seek caves and shelter. 

As the weeks went by, Yorg became more domesticated and moved from number 8 status within the tribal unit.....to number one.  Tribal women began to notice Yorg and his faithful companion Marvin.  The women would compliment Yorg on his hygiene, analysis, and cleverness.....never grasping that Marvin was the cause.

As generations would come and go.....each went to a higher level of domestication....all triggered by the original Border Collie....Marvin.  

Anyway, that's my theory of human evolution.  

Observations: 10 Oct 2021

 1.  Did the White House press spokesperson say that President Biden's polling is mostly bad because of unvaccinated people? 

Yes.  You can laugh over the statement but it was 'dished-out' to the news groups.  This group of unvaccinated people.....are they 99-percent anti-Biden?  Zero proof of that statement.  

2.  Is it possible to have this Biden slogan 'Build, Back, Better'....if you don't have the workers to do so?

It's almost like you need 500,000 Mexicans to cross the border immedately....to give you enough manpower to 'B.B.B'.  

3.  Is there a Biden 'plan' for the border?

No.  This is the odd piece to this whole border crisis story.  It's like you delivered seven tons of construction material to some guy....who didn't really have an idea over building anything. So the stuff just lays there in the front yard....waiting.
