POPSChristian Games on Young Forest Games - Truth, Compassion, Tolerance Christian games can now be bought at www.YoungForestGames.com/ and I couldn't be happier! This site uses a unique ranking system based on the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance, to determine whether a game should be promoted or sold. This means that video games with too much dishonesty, hatred or violence, and intolerance, will be given low rankings, while games that are assimilated to the higher standard will be given featured positions. This is a really neat way of showing games that have upright values to people and allows the independent developers who create these games to finally have a place where their work can be respected and even given 1st place recognition.

POPSBeating a Dead Horse I've commented on this topic many times over the past months, so why not give it one more go. There are two groups responsible for the mortgage mess - the individuals who took out exotic mortgages on houses they couldn't afford, and the financial institutions who sold them those mortgages. I understand we can't let the system fail, but I see no reason why my tax dollars have to go towards helping bail these two groups out. They made terrible decisions. All a bill like this does is reinforce stupid behavior, because if we fail, the government will bail us out. If you had your home re-possessed, it's because you couldn't afford it in the first place. If a financial institution is going down because of all the write-downs they've had to take on bad mortgages, it's because their leadership authorized bad decisions. Are there some exceptions to the above - sure there are. But those aren't the situations that this bill is addressing.

POPSDeath In A Bottle Should someone dying from terminal cancer have the right to end their life peacefully? Obviously, this is a very controversial subject, and some of the things that bother me are the depression, state of mind, and pain one is in when dying. Maybe because I had a NDE myself, I feel as though there is a certain wrongness to it, but I can't speak for anyone else.

POPSbusiness cliches spoof letters from language pedants. One of them went like this: "Sir - Listening to my wireless, I heard a song with the chorus, 'She loves you yeah yeah yeah'. Later in the same song, insult was added to injury with yet another chorus, this time, 'She loves you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah'. Whatever happened to that good old-fashioned word " yes"? What was even funnier than his column was the readers' response to it on the Telegraph website. Most of them had quite failed to notice that they were being laughed at, and seized on the opportunity to voice their own concerns over declining standards of modern English. One took issue with the preposition "on", wailing over its use in "on the weekend" and "on the team". Another despaired over "for free". A third deplored "different to".

POPSDon't Blame The Market For The Global Food Crisis!
New products, impossible if corn had been sold at its market value, were developed to make use of the artificially low cost commodity. The ubiquitous high fructose corn syrup replaced sugar and became the sine qua non of the modern American diet, leading to today’s “obesity epidemic." If using corn to force-feed grazers like cattle* flies in the face of reason and sound market principles, using it to fuel cars is absurd. In essence, ethanol is nothing more than the continuation ad absurdum of the same policies begun in the Nixon administration as part of its corporate welfare package to agribusiness. *grass-eating animals whose stomachs are not designed to eat grains. Thus, they require massive injections of enzymes and antibiotics to be able to digest what we force-feed them. “Ethanol is so costly that it wouldn’t make it in a free market,” said Williams. The only reason it is produced in the first place is that it is subsidized heavily with money confiscated from citizens.

POPSCheif Justice George assults individual rights This is a bait and switch exactly as Lincoln did. If you read the 13th Amendment very carefully you will realize that in no place does it mention anything about freeing the slaves. What it actually does is make us all equal. There is a huge difference between the two and this is always overlooked by educational institutions. It was a way of removing some individual rights and redefining us all under the Union whether everyone liked it or not. the details are too much to go into here in a clip. I only bring this up because the recent ruling in California allowing gay marriage was handled identically. The guy who wrote this article did an excellent job of breaking this fact down. Our laws apply to us as members of a group now and not as individuals as this shows. It is extremely dangerous for us as a nation to allow laws to be worded in this way and subtly shows the erosion of individual rights unless framed in a corporate environment.

POPSBeer has gone to the dogs "Imported from Holland, where it is called Kwispelbier - "tail-wagging beer" - it is being sold at £1.99 for a 33cl bottle. Made using a traditional brewing process, the drink contains malt barley extract. A spokesman for Pets at Home said: "While initially people may think of the drink as a novelty, it makes a delicious treat for a thirsty dog. "It also encourages drinking, which is good for the kidneys, and is a great source of vitamin B. "It means pets are even more a part of family life as they can enjoy a beer, too."

POPSJane Jacobs - Urban planning hero Jacobs had no professional training in the field of city planning, nor did she hold the title of planner. She instead relied on her observations and common sense to illustrate why certain places work, and what can be done to improve those that do not. Together with William H. Whyte, Jacobs led the way in advocating for a place-based, community-centered approach to urban planning, decades before such approaches were considered sensible.
