Internet news of 20-year-old on X-Box who died.


Posted: Aug 1, 2011

Did you see that where they said it was unhealthy to sit in the same position for 12 hours????  Isn't that what we do?  The poor kid died of a pulmonary embolus and they said how it is unhealthy to sit in the same position for that long!  What doctor ever cared about us?  I have sat just trying to get a line count for many days even longer than 12 hours. Leg circulation and diabetes?

I transcribed a report once on a 15-year-old girl who had a PE - From sitting on the computer for 12+ hours

[ In Reply To ..]
SCARY. I lectured my daughter about getting up every hour for at least 10 minutes and MOVING. We're unfortunately kind of trapped at our desks but kids don't understand the risks involved in just sitting in the same position for hours on end.

News Yesterday: Corporations Had Their Best Year Since 1900Apr 05, 2011
Depression for some and more luxury than ever before for others. When I look at our economy over the last 5-6 years, I see a very wide range of properity vs. economic depression. I truly believe that those in the poor-to-middle class are headed for depression, while the news this week was that corporations had their best year since 1900. They just aren't sharing with the rest of us. ...

2-year-old Kentucky Girl Accidentally Killed By Her 5-year-old Brother May 01, 2013
"A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday." Parents can be arrested for not reporting a missing child. It's not even legal to let your child drive a car without a permit. Yet, this sad, sad story is unfortunately way too common. We MUST start holding adults accountable for guns in the home. ...

The Day The Music DiedJul 09, 2017
A stunning – and stunningly disturbing - event took place this past weekend. But unless you were scouring the news very carefully, chances are you didn't even hear of it. The annual Bravalla Festival, one of the most popular summer music concerts in Sweden, was abruptly canceled. There will be no festival next year. Or ever. Given that tens of thousands of tickets were sold, the problem was not attendance. Nor was there any difficulty booking big-name rap and rock stars. No, ...

I've been going to Alcoholic's Anonymous and have been sober for amost 9 years.  During that time, we've been fortunate enough not to lose any of our members to death.

Please keep Earl and Fra ...

Dryer Died, Need New One, And AdviceFeb 17, 2010
My dryer died, of course in the middle of two loads of laundry.  I was hoping to get some opinions on new dryers, and the brands I am looking at in particular are Bosch, LG and whirlpool.  Electric, but gas reviews would be good, as well, for durability, etc. Old one is GE, and I wouldn't take a free one if I won it in a contest.  Thanks in advance, HC ...

He was a key witness in Ken Starr's investigation. 2 - Mary Mahoney - A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown ..

Know Of Good Internet/TV Deals?Feb 13, 2012
Anyone know of any great Internet and TV packages?  I pay about $70 now for Internet and basic cable.  The basic is not so great, but I really can't afford more than that.  Does anyone know of better deals on the same type of thing or better within the same amount? I have cable now and think if I switch to DSL I would also have to get a different modem and router on top of any hook-up fees. Any ideas?   ...

Bringing Up Thread About Internet From Down BelowMar 24, 2014
Pretty busy thread down there and I didn't want this info to go to waste. Count former President Bill Clinton among those who are skeptical of the new Obama administration plan to give up Internet oversight authority. At a weekend meeting sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative, the former president talked in detail about why the U.S. should retain oversight over Internet domain names and addresses. “A lot of people … have been trying to take this ...

In addition to these sources, a deluge of other heads of state as well as intelligence agency professionals have gone on record over the past nine years to state their belief that Bin Laden was likely dead, after it became clear that the Al-Qaeda leader’s health was in severe decline as a result of kidney disease at the end of 2001.

Paul Craig Roberts is a former Reagan administration official.  Is he a "conspiracy kook" too?  How about the 1500 scientists and engineers he mentions -- are they all "paranoid tin-foil-hat-wearers" too?  I don't expect to see a single response to this post.  You mainstreamers always ignore these because it isn't a thread containing conversations with other posters so you can't hurl your ad hominem attacks -- which is all you've got!

When The Obama Magic Died...articleNov 15, 2013
By Fouad Ajami Nov. 14, 2013 6:59 p.m. ET The current troubles of the Obama presidency can be read back into its beginnings. Rule by personal charisma has met its proper fate. The spell has been broken, and the magician stands exposed. We need no pollsters to tell us of the loss of faith in Mr. Obama's policies—and, more significantly, in the man himself. Charisma is like that. Crowds come together and they project their needs onto an imagined redeemer. The redeemer leaves ...
