What's wrong here? |
America is going straight down the tubes, and in no particular order here are some of the reasons why: |
1. We actually have to TELL people not to text-message while driving, then make it illegal just to drive home the point. Seriously? That falls under “spitting into the wind” stupid. |
2. The average American knows more about the personal lives of Hollywood actors than they do about basic geography or recent history. |
3. The Kardashians are STILL famous, and no one has yet to provide me with an adequate explanation why. Every time I see a commercial for one of their shows, a piece of my soul dies. Which brings me to… |
4. Reality Television, probably the most oxymoronic phrase in the English language. |
5. Lawyers are paid more than teachers, yet are vastly less important to the advancement of society and knowledge. |
6. We have to put warning labels on coffee that it’s hot. Really? Why don’t we have a plane flying overhead every day with a banner warning us not to look directly at the sun? Who can I sue about that? |
7. Congress. (I was going to expand on this, but really. Do I need to? Didn’t think so.) I'd compare them to a pack of monkeys flinging poop at each other, but I think that might offend the monkeys. |
Now, don't get me wrong. I still think the USA is one of the greatest places on Earth to live, and I'm proud to do so. But if we don't get our collective heads out of our asses and start acting like intelligent humans, we're freakin' doomed. |

Is Australian credit card demand rising? |
RateCity Staff |
RateCity Staff |
Are Australian’s becoming a nation of credit card spenders? The demand for credit cards is certainly on the rise, as more and more people turn to their trusty plastic cards to book travel, purchase tickets or shop to their hearts content. However is an increase in credit card demand beneficial or detrimental for credit... |
The increase in credit card demand is beneficial for credit card holders because of the fact that if the more Australians want lots of different credit cards, the better competition there will be between card providers. And greater competition is occurring between providers as credit card demand grows stronger. |
According to Veda’s October 2013 credit card consumer report, overall consumer credit demand rose 7.4% over the past year, with credit card enquiries up 13.7% year on year. |
What increases credit card demand? |
• People are getting savvier about their spending habits and using credit cards with rewards to earn points and receive free items. |
• Low interest rate credit cards allow people to purchase big ticketed items instead of applying for a personal loan which could have a higher rate. |
• People like to have lots of options when making transactions. |
• Credit cards are more trusted with better security technology. |
The proof of growing credit card popularity lies in the stats but that doesn’t mean you should jump on the bandwagon. Think about why you want a credit card, if you actually need one, and if so, what you plan to get out of it. If you can pay off your entire debt each month and spend wisely then it could add a little bi... |

Tri-Dimensional Truth Part V |
n the Tri-Dimensional Truth series, we've been examining the parallel relationship between physical and Spiritual prophetic fulfillment. |
In Part IV, we noted the pronouncement of the Apostle Peter that the Pentecost experience, which most certainly included physical phenomena such as the "rushing mighty wind" seen in Acts 2:2, was actually a fulfillment of Joel's vivid prophecy of how God would show wonders in the heavens as a sign of the end of the age... |
"And I will shew wonders in heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come" (Joel 2:30, 31). |
We also looked at how a third of the sun was completely blackened, and this bizarre event was photographed by the SOHO satellite, as a sign in the heavens, if not a fulfillment of Revelation 8:12: |
"…and the third part of the sun was smitten…so as the third partwas darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it…" (Revelation 8:12). |
Undoubtedly, many scoffed that this unsettling event has anything to do with the prophetic fulfillment of Scripture; but it's difficult to view such an unusual sight without perceiving something very profound has occurred (to see the recently published image where a third of the sun is blackened, just Google "Giant Ho... |
In keeping with our declared theme of the deeper dimensions of prophetic fulfillment, we first note an even more ominous reading of the very same text. In a strictly literal sense, the fourth trumpet phase of the sequence does not describe a partial eclipse, but an even more radical transition affecting every aspect of... |
The verse in question does not say a third of the sun was darkened, it says a third part of the day is actually gone: |
"…and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise" (Revelation 8:12). |
About 20 years ago, I began to realize this verse is actually stating that a third of the 12 hour day will disappear, and a third of the 12 hour night will do likewise. As unlikely as this sounds, the verse is clearly stating that we will see an 8 hour day, and an 8 hour night – obviously a catastrophic development. |
This astounding event was confirmed by Jesus Christ Himself when He said |
Indeed, the interpretive approach which I was taught as a youth, which puts forth the idea that Christ will return sooner than originally planned, hardly comports with the omniscience of the LORD. The fact is, Revelation's statement, at least on a linear, physical level, is telling us that we will, at some point in the... |
In previous efforts, this ministry has examined possible scenarios how such a catastrophic event could physically occur, and our research was not at all comforting. For example, a collapse of the Earth's mantle, due to gravitational stress, would compress the entire mass of the world into a smaller sphere. Theoreticall... |
A well established principle, a good example of this is seen in figure skaters as they spin, and when they tuck in their arms, their spin velocity sharply increases. That research culminated in a video entitled Compaction Planet. |
Another possibility is the arrival of the legendary Planet X, a large planetary body that many researchers believe is on a massive elliptical orbit which brings it back into our inner solar system at lengthy intervals. In theory, a huge planetary body moving past the Earth, could provide the gravitational pull to incre... |
Yet, such indescribable destruction appears to be precisely what Jesus Christ described, when He said |
And yet, there is even another layer of fulfillment in this amazing prophecy of the shortening of the days, but that will have to wait for our next installment of Tri-Dimensional Truth |

Insider traders have new crime partners - hackers |
Evidence shows growing collusion that goes far beyond what handful of prosecutions so far suggests |

Edmund's Quest for Revenge... |
While Reva was in a relationship with Jeffrey, tragedy struck her son Shayne. Serving with the Peace Corps in Bosnia, he and a young woman named Lara had fallen in love. Their work had separated them for a time. Then she came to see him. Shayne had just cleared a minefield...but he'd missed one of the mines. Lara stepp... |
Shayne responded to that by deliberately stepping on a mine himself. He was badly injured. After he was sent home to Springfield, he was in a wheelchair for months, and still had suicidal thoughts. But as he recovered physically, the somewhat older Dinah Marler befriended him, and he gradually found new love with her. |
Dinah is the daughter of Vanessa Chamberlain Lewis, wife of Josh's half-brother Billy. And she herself had a troubled past. While trying to kill Cassie, whom she'd seen as a rival, she'd accidentally killed the man she loved, Hart Jessup. The only reason she wasn't still in prison was that Jeffrey had thought she had p... |
It turned out that Lara had been Edmund Winslow's daughter - a daughter whose existence he'd only learned of recently. Knowing this wonderful young woman was his daughter had seemingly made him a "changed man." He was grief-stricken on learning of her death; when he learned she and Shayne had been in love, he embraced ... |
