Conundrum

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one. You'll probably never need one again."

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about!

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries!

Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century!

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics! Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering.....

2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't!

It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled..... - Mark Twain

A U. S. Navy destroyer stops four Mexicans in a row boat rowing towards California.

Captain gets on the loud- hailer and shouts, "Ahoy, small craft. Where are you headed?"

of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts, "We are invading the United States of America! To reclaim the territory taken by the USA during the 1800's."

entire crew of the destroyer doubled-over in laughter. When the Captain is finally able to catch his breath, he gets back on the loud-hailer and asks, "Just the four of you?"

same Mexican stands up again and shouts, "No, we're the last four. The other 8 million are already there!"

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said: “Let me see if I’ve got this right.

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages and instill in them a love for learning.

You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self-esteem and personal pride.

You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a check book, and apply for a job.

You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and ensure that they all pass their final exams.

You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicap and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Arabic or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for “New Start.”

You want me to do all this, and then you tell me......

I CAN’T wear a necklace with a little cross, mention God, or say “Merry Christmas” because someone might take offense? “

Well, you know what you can do with your job........

This should be posted in every school in America and all countries.

So very true. The social security vs welfare really kills me. You NEVER hear welfare money is running out....

From my homepage discussing how Muslims are not happy in their own countries....... “They are happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!

And who do they blame?

Not Islam... Not their leadership... Not themselves, THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!!

And they want to change the countries they are happy in to be like the countries they came from where they were unhappy and finally they will be happy?

((((Ping))))

You nailed it.

Some lame attempts at conundrumicity by me:

Why do liberals who believe that the scientific method holds all the answers believe there are no such thing as sex differences?

Why do feminists who believe that women have been trampled on by the patriarchy allow men to claim to be women at just the point in history, and in just those countries, where women have attained equal political power with men?

Why do post-modernists produce any writings when most of them are white males and they believe that all writings are just attempts of one privileged group to oppress others?
