Common Sense Junior Prone to Cancer

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:52:06 +0100

Common Sense Junior is in grave danger of falling victim to the insidious cancer that killed his dad.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) agrees that the British National Party should not be invited onto the BBC's Question Time programme.
The very union that represents freedom of speech - or should do - is now backing moves to distort the public view of the political landcape in the UK.
It's no wonder we're presented with one-sided
propaganda when the very union that is supposed to represent journalists and support them in the jobs they do, is backing any call to prevent the public from being given the full picture.
That picture, as far as the face of politics in this country is concerned, includes the British National Party whether we like it or not.
Journalists are not social workers. They are not an arm of the police. The are not propagandists.
They are watchdogs and report and comment faithfully on what is happening in the world.
I know because I am one. And I'm disgusted with what was my union.
I don't like the British National Party or what it stands for. Just like I haven't liked or agreed with many of the causes, situations, political views I've been called upon to write about.
But even if it reduced me to tears, including views and politics I detested, I DID MY JOB.
Sadly, I am a dinosaur although I'm not alone.
There are many of us left and I'd imagine we're all appalled at this latest announement of our union at the Trades Union Conferene in Liverpool.
As far as I'm concerned, we in this country - and probably all over the world - are being given a one-sided, selective sliver of news that is being dictated, not by the people but by political parties.
For that is what this is about. It's one political party, or several, standing up against another one because they don't like its policies or what it stands for.
But people have voted for the party that the NUJ now agrees should be sent sent packing into the shadows of no man's land, never to be heard of again.
So who does the NUJ now represent? Its membership which used to represent the public or political parties who dictate what should be newsworthy and what shouldn't.
This is the sort of cancer that killed Common Sense. An insiduous, dangerous disease that spreads from controlling what people can and cannot say to controlling what they can and cannot be told of.
I'm still aiming for my island home, the Common Sense Republic, and raising funds for my business to get there.
I've joined a like-minded band of people all raising business capital the same way, without banks, without loans and without incurring any debt.
If you'd like to join us then please visit
http://virl.ws/s/dipple. It'll cost you just under a tenner GBP but we're in business and we want to ensure we only get members who are serious about raising dosh.
If that doesn't appeal to you, however, and you want a business opportunity that grows faster in a recession then take a look at this http://vurl.bz/s/0MO
And if you've really lost the will to live in this crazy world, then try Lady Luck at http://www.bobbydog.ws/aliencomp.htm
And good luck.

Common Sense Republic

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:09:04 +0100

A ban on advertising for alcohol in the UK is now on the cards.
Parents may face a fine for driving their kids' pals around if they haven't been vetted.
And villagers in North East India have picked up shovels and spades to build their own road because they're fed up with two decades of burueacratic delays.
Common Sense Junior really has his work cut out.
Our freedoms are going down the plug hole and no-one seems to be bothered.
Who are these faceless people who decree crazy rules and regulations that they think the rest of us just have to accept.
The Indian villagers got it right and have just taken matters into their own hands.
I think it's time the rest of us did the same.
I want to know who thinks they know better than I do what I should read or watch, eat or drink or associate with.
Smoking is bad for your health. Well, there's research that says it is and we've had plenty of that. But where's the research that shows the dangers of giving up if you've smoked for a long time? And there are a few serious consequences!
Drinking is good in moderation - we all know that.
But where are the warning posters about the toxic chemicals in diet drinks?
And what about the food we're eating. Where are the warnings about the chemicals in that?
And why not warn us about the chemtrails, acid rain or chemicals in our drinking water?
What we get is one-sided propaganda and a ban on anything such as an advertising poster that could gainsay that propaganda or give people the information they need to make their own choices.
And now, some faceless control freak who has contributed to creating this mess, has the temerity to question our integrity and ability to bring up our kids!
Well, I want to know who questions my absolute right to drive my kids and their pals to and from a club or school when it's OK with their parents.
I want to see a face. I want to know who this person is who dares to try and dictate how I bring up my children or how to live my life.
And I want them vetted. I want their backgrounds checked right down to the pedigree of their grannie's budgie. And I want to know what their IQ is, although even the experts don't know what that actually measures.
Common Sense Junior would say that whoever it is should be sent straight back to their ivory tower. His dad would have reminded whoever these crazy rule makers are that it's unwise to bit the hand that feeds them.
For whoever this is, you can bet your bottom dollar we will be paying their wages.
And as employers we have a right to know everything about them. So I expect to see the CV of this control freak in the international press sometime soon.
It's coming to something in this global world of ours when people have to build their own roads because the powers that be aren't capable of doing it. Why pay them?
And the same can be said for our schools. They are there to teach our children to read, write and add up. Nothing more. If they concentrated on that then maybe we'd have a literate society that could see the dangerous slope we're now on.
It's time we started asking WHO is making these crazy rules and considering telling them to collect their cards.
They can't do the job they're supposed to do so they're creating a new job for themselves which is telling us all what to do.
Nah. I'm not having any of it. The school system won't get my grandchildren and I'll make enough money to live on an island and declare myself a replublic until things change.
That's my plan until Common Sense wins and we collect all these crazies together and stick them on an island where they can happily spend their days controlling each other and giving the rest of us the peace and quiet to enjoy our God given freedom to do what we damn well please.
I'm still trying to raise business capital with a merry band of like-minded others. One company raised more than 60K so wish me luck or join me - either in the money raising venture or as someone who'd like to share my island Republic of Common Sense.
If you want to raise capital for expansion, sustainability or start-up then check out http://virl.ws/s/dipple. Or try your hand to grab a grand at http://www.bobbydog.ws/aliencomp.htm.
It's free, no catches. And Good Luck.

Common Sense Junior in a Bright New World

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:53:26 +0100

It's the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth year in the new millenium.
I must have blinked and missed the end of the world.
Let's hope this new world that I somehow missed the start of is better than our old one.
Maybe there'll even be room for little Common Sense who was orphaned when his dad died.
The youngster has been waiting in the wings for the end of the old world so he can follow in the footsteps of his late great dad.
Let's hope the cancer that eventually killed his late great dad can be sent into remission and eradicated - assuming this is a new world given the old one was supposed to have disappeared down some black hole today.
Common Sense Jnr could start by sending the ivory tower brigade back to their ivory towers with their crazier ideas and re-educating those who have come through the education system without the benefit of getting schooled in the three Rs.
He could send all the politicians, bureaucrats and those who can't tell fact from fiction back to the classroom.
And, of course, he could ensure that the banksters are the first to be sent back to school as their inability to add up has affected the global population.
While they're all back at school, I'll be carrying on trying to raise my own business capital with those I joined a week ago.
We're raising money ourselves without the banks, without loans, without getting into any debt.
It costs a tenner (well almost a fiver twice) to get in but then we're in business.
It's not a get rich quick scheme. It's not something for nothing, although a tenner isn't a lot to ask.
It is a real opportunity to raise funds DIY style and not owe anyone a penny.
If you want to raise business capital for expansion, sustainability or start-up - or raise funds to get yourself out of debt - then why not join us. It could be the best tenner you've ever spent. http://virl.ws/s/dipple
But if you'd rather rely on Lady Luck and are a gambler by nature, you could look at http://vur.me/s/0MO.
And if you have given up trying to work at all in this crazy world, then have a gamble on me

Common Sense Said Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:12:29 +0100

Big Brother, Terry Wogan, US Open, Strictly Come Dancing. That's what's in Yahoo's Top 10 Searches today.
No search for banker bailouts or world economy or anything that will really affect our lives and the future of our children.
The late Commons Sense always said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
We've passively accepted bureaucratic dream schemes to coin in extra cash from us every which way possible. From needing a green report to sell our house or to paying Stamp Duty on house purchases, fines for this, fines for that...the list is endless.
Those dream schemes meant our illustrious elected weren't short of a bob or two when they decided to bail out the banks and encourage them to lend our money back to us at a price.
But did the banks do that?
Not as far as I can see. All they did was use our money to keep themselves solvent and sustain public confidence.
For that's what the bailouts are really about.
Look at the figures. The biggest slices of the bailout cake went to the banks to cover their losses.
And the reason is simple.
They couldn't give us all back our money because they don't have it all. Then whole money-making system would have fallen flat on its fat face if we'd all turned up to close our accounts.
This may be a simplistic way of looking at the financial crisis issue but it's the way I see it.
So I'm determined not to borrow my money back from the banks.
The late Common Sense said not to throw good money after bad so I'm still raising my own business capital.
I've joined like-minded others and am raising my own capital DIY-style.
One business has already raised more than 90,000 without having to approach a bank, a finance company or seek any credit whatsoever.
If you want to raise capital for yourself without the banks, without credit, without getting into any debt then why not join us. http://virl.ws/s/dipple

If Only We'd Listened to Common Sense

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:36:34 +0100

Beware of the Kids was a notice allegedly stuck on a family's house in the UK.

For a 10-year old and an 11-year had allegedly terrorised their neighbours for years before allegedly progressing to attempted child murder.

And we're surprised?

We have the brass neck to hold up our hands in horror and say we're shocked?

How dare we!

The late Common Sense told us that if you give someone an inch, they will take a mile. It's human nature. In fact, it's in the nature of all living creatures.

So are these two kids who are now on trial evil or vastly different from other children? Well, yes.... and No.

They're different because they allegedly tortured another child. And no, they're not vastly different from other kids by harrassing neighbours and being prize pains in the butt. They're just faster learners and are being true to nature by stretching the inch they were given to a mile or two because no-one was allowed to SMACK them.

Police, social workers, local authorities all raise their hands in horror now. Yet they were powerless to act when the kids were allegedly making the lives of neighbouring families a misery by pelting fruit and eggs at their doors and calling them names. And why should they not have behaved so badly? No-one was allowed to touch them. How can we possibly be horrified or shocked now?

We've ALLOWED this to happen by allowing people in ivory towers to make stupid rules. How do children learn if you don't chastise them?

"Don't teach them violence," were the cries from the powers that be when they told us we were no longer allowed to smack our children. "That only teaches them violence," we were told.

WRONG! What the No Smacking Rule taught them was that they could do what they liked, when they liked and no-one could do anything about it. Not their parents. Not their teachers. Not the police. Not the local authority.

What it did not teach them was the reality of the food chain. No matter what species you are, your survival depends on knowing your place on it and not getting in the face of anything or anyone higher up.

We haven't taught our children that. So they've grown up, naturally progressing in bad behaviour as they've been given an inch and have taken the proverbial mile.

They don't all progress to criminal courts facing attempted murder charges but those that stay out of the system are not going to suddenly become responsible adults.

Isn't it time we wakened up and stopped listening to ivory tower theorists who live on a different planet from everyone else?

The late Common Sense would surely say that these theorists should be on trial alongisde the two kids in South Yorkshire.

But we are now obviously a common-sense-free society. Although common-sense still applies if you want to survive.

Natural law dictates that it's survival of the fittest and the best way forward is to get up the food chain as fast as you can away from the cesspits of violence and lawlessness we've created.

The way out is with money. And I'm raising my own without the banks, along with other like-minded people who want to raise business expansion capital, sustainability capita or start-up funds. One company has raised more than $90,000.

Common Sense's Teachings Now Being Flushed Down the Toilet

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:12:44 +0100

Good news for the fair sex today as a German company announces the Ladybag, a disposable pocket loo.
The gadget, which converts urine into gel, is likely to see the company flush with success - unlike the crazy horse nappies that have sent the services of Killarney's jarvies down toilet.
The powers that be decreed that the horses muck up the image of Killarney, leaving piles of manure everywhere.
So, in the name of health and safety and the environment, they want the jarvies to fit a manure catching nappy to the back of the horse.
The jarvies say it is unsafe and object but the powers that be say it works elsewhere?
Eh?
The device is known as a horse nappy and it is a big neigh neigh with the jarvies (horse carriage drivers).
No wonder Common Sense lost his brave fight for life.
Manure is good for the environment. And piles of it present job opportunities. Someone has to shovel it up. And any enterprising person would see a recycling opportunity in selling it on to gardeners who claim it's good for their roses and as a garden fertiliser.
But, no, now there are no horse drawn carriages in Killarney just like we have no pigeons in the centre of London and there are moves afoot to cull seagulls who dare to take up airspace in seaside resorts.
Maybe we should have fitted pigeons with nappies but then that wouldn't have satisfied the anti-pigeon brigade either. For now they pick on seagulls who dare to invade airspace at seaside resorts and make too much noise.
Just where is all this environmental nonsense going to end. Nappies for cats who are always doing the dirty in gardens?
Or dog nappies as we've banned plastic bags yet are still promoting plastic doggie pooh bags?
I can't wait to see where we're going with this.
Didn't common sense say not to fix what wasn't broken? It seems the late Common Sense's teachings are just being flushed down the toilet.
We have a wonderful, beautiful environment that nature has provided and handles better than man ever could.
For those who would hate to live in a man-made clinical environment and believe in the motto of live and let live, here's a heartwarming little video that I found

Common Sense Turning in His Grave

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:51:20 +0100

Just stop the world and let me off.

Common Sense must be turning in his grave.

The powers that be have just plunged us all into darkness by banning the good old-fashioned light bulbs in the UK. The powers that be would have us believe that changing our light bulbs to energy saving ones will save the planet. As if a lightbulb is going to make any difference when we've got governments and military making test atomic explosions at sea and scientists using the earth (and us) as a laboratory. Just Google Haldron Collider to see how they've experimented with our planet by using a high energy particle accelerator to collide opposing particle beams. More than 10,000 scientists and engineers from more than 100 countries collaborated on this. Yet the powers that be, who must have given them permission because I didn't sign any prebriefing paper agreeing to take part, have the brass neck to tell us we're the cause of global warming or climate change or whatever they call it now instead of TAX. They must think we're as dim as their energy-saving bulbs.

OK it's laughable. It's hilarious. Or it would be if it wasn't for real. So just stop the bus and let me off right now. I'm not going to the bank to borrow my own money for a price, I'm not putting my money in the bank because it could go belly-up tomorrow. And I'm keeping all my hard-earned dosh in a plastic carrier bag under the bed where I have INSTANT access to it. Oops, did I say plastic carrier bag when they're trying to ban those as well. Sorry, I should have said several plastic doggie pooh bags as they're still being promoted! It's amazing how big a stash of notes one of those takes.

Anyway, to further my quest to get off the bus and buy an isolated cottage in the middle of nowhere I'm raising funds to expand my businesses and I'm doing it without the banks and without loans of any kind with a bunch of like-minded others. I don't know if they want off the bus as well but they are raising money for something whether it be expansion capital, cash flow, start-up, charity......it doesn't matter. All that matters is that we're united in raising money together and you can join us if you want. Check it out http://virl.ws/s/dipple It'll cost you two lots of $5 to get onboard but, hey, it's a business, not a charity.

If you want to get off the bus as well and don't like the idea of joining others to raise dosh, you can always try Lady Luck. You can gamble or you can make a business from it. http://vur.me/s/0MO Or you can just try your hand at winning a grand - no catches - free go at http://www.bobbydog.ws/aliencomp.htm

Sad Loss of Common Sense

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:50:51 +0100

Another day, and more madness.

It's become evident that our bankers can't do their sums and, before anyone defends the education system, look at the latest news from the British educational sphere. The new Diploma in the UK, hailed as THE qualification to have, has a two-thirds failure rate. Grammar and spelling, we are told, had a lot to do with it.
But the youngsters aren't to blame, it has been stated. The standard of education, needed to attain the qualification, particularly in literacy, is too high!?

This is an example of the insidious cancer that put an end to poor old Common Sense. Could it not be that the standard of education, especially in the three Rs in the UK, is too low?

Who am I to criticise? I'm just someone who depends on employees to be able to do a job even when faced with an increasing number of applicants who are personable but have no useable skills. Young adults who cold call prospects and tell them they are not trying to sell them anything?! They see nothing wrong in just lying to potential customers while expecting to foster a great business relationship with them.

It's no different to many of the ads you see on the internet. They say they're not trying to sell you anything and they're in business.

Now poor old Common Sense would have asked how they were staying in business or sustaining a business if they're not making any money from you. Get rich quick schemes, personal 24-hour ATMs.....you name it, it's out there. Books telling you how not to get scammed - if you haven't figured that out already. Even if you become an affiliate of some brilliant scheme or other, you can't be sure that you'll get your commissions which is why a company like viralurl is such a success. It allows you to protect your affiliate links so nobody can change them and rob you of any commissions you may have earned. http://vur.me/devprint

Oh, they all promise you the world in the form of a jet-set lifestyle and more money than you need but it reminds me of the job applicants who see nothing wrong in cold calling customers and telling them they're not trying to sell them anything.

The really sad part is the immorality of it all. People looking to the internet have either been using the web for years and are net savvy or they are looking to earn a crust either because they don't have enough money or they like making money. The net savvy ones know what to look out for because they've probably been stung a few times before starting to earn any money but the newbies are vulnerable. Just how vulnerable is anybody's guess though Common Sense dictates that anyone looking to earn more money on the internet is doing so because they don't have enough. And when you're struggling to pay the bills you'll take any carrot that is handed out to you, many times hoping beyond hope that your gamble will pay off.

Rags to riches stories are ten a penny on the internet. Just how many are true is another question altogether. It's doubtful that the people believing the Get Rich By Doing Nothing ads have attained that UK Diploma that is now to be dumbed down? And there's no doubt that the people promoting such ads would qualify for admittance to the school that wants the Diploma dumbed down. The lower the standards of education, the bigger the population that can be scammed.

There is huge earning potential on the internet but remember Common Sense. There's no such thing as a free lunch and any business involves work of some sort. It may be a four-letter old-fashioned word but it's what success depends on, together with luck.

And if you believe if luck then why not try and cash in on the lottery. There's a business that won't suffer from any recession. Try your luck at winning a grand on me - for free, no catch. Click here http://www.bobbydog.ws/aliencomp.htm Or become an affiliate member and promote that - the internet potential has hardly been tapped yet http://vur.me/s/0MO

RIP Common Sense

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 10:16:15 +0100

Common Sense died today.
He finally succumbed to the cancer that had been threatening his life for more than a decade.
And he will be sadly missed worldwide by those who lived by his teachings.
The death comes as a shock to many who had expected death from one of his frequent flights out of the window.
In the past few years he was in and out of the window with the frequency of a fiddler's elbow. Eventually, few of us noticed the duration of the flights as the cancer took hold and the short-haul journeys became long-haul ones.
No-one thought he was finding it harder and harder to return as the cancer took hold.
Common Sense's fight against the insidious disease began more than a decade ago when his teaching of Say What You Mean and Do What You Say became politically incorrect.
As the world accepted the new way of speaking, he took his first flight out of the window.
Yet he recovered and took many more flights as more of his teachings were made obsolete.
He almost died when his great friend the Three Rs was kicked out of the British schools' curriculum. But he recovered which is more than can be said for the children that came through that education system.
He must have wondered if the lack of schooling in the three Rs is the cause of the world being given mixed messages by those in power. We are told that plastic carrier bags are bad yet are encouraged to use plastic doggy bags to pick up dog mess.
Has the lack of schooling in arithmetic led to the loss of pensions or the fact that even our bankers can't do their sums and are having to be bailed out by taxpayers?
So we bail them out and then PAY THEM to LEND our money back to us.
Well, Common Sense's death has shocked some of us into action. We're standing by his old teaching of watching the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves and are not approaching the banks for the money we need to sustain a business, expand a business or start a business. We're raising the funds ourselves.
Anyone can join us and raise their own business capital without approaching a bank, without taking out a loan, without any credit.
