Cop gets beaten and bystanders dont call for help-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXVr4-8RurY

I don't condone or endorse the violence, however cops do this all the time. Hard to say what sparked this, possibilly a lifetime of abuse from the police and he just couldn't take it anymore and snapped. Maybe he built up a life worked hard only to have everything taken away, maybe they killed someone he cared about, It must have been something pretty big for one to take on a losing battle such as this. Police have endless backup and all the money and resorces that they basically stole from those like me and possibally you.

Police: The Domestic Monopoly on Violence- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8DTPdeFkbw

Many people join the police because they are enamored by images of protecting the innocent, punishing the guilty, maintaining order, promoting peace, serving and protecting the people etc. It is also fun to believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny but it is not encouraged to base our future professions on such myths and eventually we must shed them. To believe, in our adult life, that the primary function of police is to perform the aforementioned is to be plagued with a severe form of schizophrenia and a selective understanding of reality. In economics we understand that people act according to incentives and that by thoroughly understanding those incentives the result of those actions can be more or less predictable. If I give a man money to not work, is he likely to continue seeking employment or to abandon such efforts? If pharmaceutical representatives shower a physician with luxurious gifts the more he prescribes a certain medication is likely to prescribe more or less of that medication? If fascistic special interests banks are given cheap currency in the form of Quantitative Easing and then told by the Federal Reserve that they will be given a greater interest rate if they park it in their reserves, are the banks likely to lend that currency out or park it in their reserves? If fascistic special interests banks are told that they can gamble with the people’s currency in the massive derivatives casino, lose trillions, and those funds will still be secured throughout colossal criminal bailouts at taxpayer’s expense are they likely to gamble recklessly in the derivatives casino or be more cautious with the people’s hard earned currency? I hope the trend is clear.

The people do not voluntarily fund the police; rather they are coercively funded through the theft of taxation. Their salaries will always be guaranteed regardless of abuse or cruelty towards the people. Therefore the incentive is not about pleasing the customer in any respect but about pleasing their superiors and political masters. When this is understood then the rise of the police state, the militarization of the police, and the flooding of police brutality videos is not surprising. It is but a natural result of incentivized human action. “Government” is the giant exception to the law of morality and the enormous incentive to waste, inefficiency, and barbarity to which we all must contend. Eliminate the paradigm of systematic predation and all the wretched hydra heads will inevitably die. Stop funding wickedness with your participation and support! What is done violently through aggression is always inferior to that which is done peacefully through voluntary interaction. Good ideas do not require force.

Joanie

I’m sorry to hear you have fallen off the positive moving forward wagon, so to speak. You were doing so well and I for one am proud of your efforts thus far.

I know at times it’s easy to fall back in to old habits such as thinking negative. Sometimes we question, can I be happy, do I deserve to be happy. Well the answer is a big resounding YES. When we think negatively, we attract more negative into our lives. If you are a person who is more inclined to thinking negatively, you can still turn this around. It is harder and requires more work BUT it is not impossible.

I don’t proclaim to have the perfect life but I work on it everyday. I do self help work every day such as reading relevant books and doing meditation. Meditation is one thing that can be beneficial for everyone. If you have access to youtube, then that’s all you need and preferably headphones, but not necessary if you don’t. My favourites are any meditations from Deepak Chopra. He has a lovely soothing, calming voice. There is however, 100s of different meditations available on youtube, just choose one that’s right for you. What have you got to lose?

The bottom line is if we continue to think of past hurts and bad experiences and let them continue to influence our lives, we have effectively let whoever has done this to us win. We have let them dictate how we should live our lives and our future.

You deserve all good things Joanie as much as the next person. I know sometimes you find that hard to fathom but don’t ever forget it. When you feel yourself thinking negatively, pull yourself up on it. It’s hard at first, but with practice, you will find it gets easier and easier. Try as hard as you can not to watch those ‘bad’ youtube videos.

I would be interested to know if you sourced those books I mentioned. Even if you just borrow one of them from the library, You can heal your life by Louise Hay. I think once you start reading it, you won’t put it down. I personally think you would find it very beneficial.

LOL @ pumpkin in a can.  Now that's lazy.   No such thing in Australia

[j*oono]

I was just thinking that Stawka.  It's like Lurker said. So many ingredients seem to come out of a can in American kitchens rather than using fresh food.

I do try to avoid recipes that use things like tinned soup or stuff out of jars in cooking. Except for things like curry pastes etc. although I have made my own too.

Where is forward? in wit direction should I travel? Thats the thing, theres too many choices and I don't know from one to the other if I have been making the right or best ones. If I came back to the area where I used to live when all this nightmare happened, is that moving forward?

I know at times it’s easy to fall back in to old habits such as thinking negative. Sometimes we question, can I be happy, do I deserve to be happy. Well the answer is a big resounding YES. When we think negatively, we attract more negative into our lives. If you are a person who is more inclined to thinking negatively, you can still turn this around. It is harder and requires more work BUT it is not impossible.

I am not falling back into anything, I used to work hard at life, and it didn't pan out, I had things, nice good things I lived a clean life, I was proud of what I had built, my resorcefullness, I always had a talent for figuring out what I wanted and finding a way to get it. I made a choice not to try at life anymore, to just enjoy things as they come and not to put myself in a position of ever having alot that can be taken away by police or those who aquire help from police to take from me. In other words, i'm done, I'll live out whats left of my life eager for the end and prepare for that end as best as I can. That means keeping care of my soul, the only thing I can take with me into the after life. But I'm done trying to have anything worthwhile in this life.

Don't mistake my efforts to open people's eyes to bad things police do for being depressed and falling into a slump. My topics and replies don't reflect on my self image whatsoever. It's just me posting what I know and or learn.

The bottom line is if we continue to think of past hurts and bad experiences and let them continue to influence our lives, we have effectively let whoever has done this to us win. We have let them dictate how we should live our lives and our future.

Heres a newsflash, they did win, they destroyed my life while getting a paycheck for their efforts and had fun in doing so. They won, and are winning in this life, a life I do not place stock in anymore. I am looking far ahead into the next life, the unknown hope of something better, for me to possibly have or be the things I can't in this life. Much of those things I can't even fault police for. Just the way things worked out.

You deserve all good things Joanie as much as the next person. I know sometimes you find that hard to fathom but don’t ever forget it. When you feel yourself thinking negatively, pull yourself up on it. It’s hard at first, but with practice, you will find it gets easier and easier. Try as hard as you can not to watch those ‘bad’ youtube videos.

I believe I will have those things, or some measure of them just not in this existence. Somehow, I will live as I should, maybe it's happened in a past life, maybe it's coming in another future existence, I believe There's things that at the moment seem impossible, that will at some point become possible, but I first must experance death from this life. I can wait for it to come, no rush. In the mean time, I see no harm in posting about the injustice in this world and in this life.

I would be interested to know if you sourced those books I mentioned. Even if you just borrow one of them from the library, You can heal your life by Louise Hay. I think once you start reading it, you won’t put it down. I personally think you would find it very beneficial.

I'm not much into reading, books, maybe alittle here on the boards or out of the bible. I have been going to church on the weekends. I may keep going. I watch Chuck Baldwin on Youtube and get something from that. I seldom ever watch Alex Jones or the infowars stuff anymore, not because it isn't worth watching, it's very worthwhile, I just feel that I've gotten all I can from that and moved onto other things. I still highly recomend those who may be in the dark about alternitive news to watch it. Alex and the infowars team are very passonate about what they bring and are stright shooters, a refresing break from the mundane globalist mainstream news you get from TV.

But it's just that, news, and one must hear from all sides and decide for themself, like I did. Alex Jones don't corner the market on this, theres Adam Kokesh with his own take, Jesse Ventura, Ron Paul, and many others who combat a corrupt tyrannical system that all too many warship.

Louise Hay.

I mentioned in one of my posts here that 5 of the 10 ingredients in that particular recipe for pumpkin pie where spices.  Most spices I know about come in jars.  Lots of herbs are grown in one's garden here in the US, but not that many spices.  I grow and dry my own oregano, basil and bay leaf (I'm Italian and use these herbs a lot in my cooking, but I also understand that others may never use these herbs on a regular basis in their cooking).  I also live in a warmer climate, most in the northern states wouldn't be able to grow them unless they had a greenhouse.....thus some purchase these ingredients at the grocery store.

I would never speak in such generalities to say that a particular country does this or does that.   I would be mindful that saying that might be hurtful to some in that country.  j*oono, I don't use curry paste in my cooking (never have in all my years), but sure wouldn't poke fun of you for using it. 🙂

One has a choice when it comes to making a pumpkin pie from (complete) scratch.  You can grow your own pumpkin, harvest it, peel it, and boil it down and mash it up to make your own usable pumpkin mix.......or, and or is a big thing.....you can purchase this cooking pumpkin in a can.

Personally, I don't care that much for pumpkin pie, so you would never see me growing, harvesting, peeling, boiling and whipping it to make a pie.  If I absolutely had to make a pumpkin pie......I'd buy the pumpkin mix in a can.  Not a bad thing....simply a convenience. 😄

[softail-joanie]

I've only ever bought the pumpkin pies already made up in the freezer section and baked it,or bought it already baked and keep refrigerated until ready to eat a piece. I never pay full price, the pie is around 5 dollars give or take. But at times they go on sale, or are clearenced out. When I can get them for 2 dollars or less, I eat them. I happen to like them, as one of my favorate deserts with chocloate pie as a close second tied with those bananna pudding cakes with vanallia wafers.

[artfulcreations4all]

I like pumpkin pie and I've made it using canned pumpkin. As Dwilke said, many parts of the U.S. have short growing seasons and where I'm living (New England) pumpkins are harvested in October and only available for a few weeks.

And, yes, it's true that Americans use a lot of canned goods. I'm sure two-thirds of the rest of the world does too. 

It isn't being "lazy". It's taking advantage of the conveniences that are available as a result of living in the 21st century. "Fresh" may be healthier and taste better (although the latter isn't always true) but it isn't always possible, for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with someone's energy level.

I do find it funny what some of you Aussies find to critcize Americans about, lol. I'm also surprised when I read that you don't have this and you don't have that in Australia. No canned pumpkin?!

Sheesh!

[aps1080]

Plenty of canned Pumpkin soup - shelves of it.
I am sure canned pumpkin is there somewhere.

re canned, it depends, often on how people are brought up.

A lot of people can't cook here so heating a can of anything is easy !!!

[lurker172602]

I wasn't criticising or making fun. I simply made a comment about something I have often noticed in recipes I read on American sites.
