Funny Blog from "Letters from Midlife"!

Here's a funny post I saw on a new blog I've added to my bloglist; I'm lovin' her posts at http://lettersfrommidlife.blogspot.com/ Get yer laughin' shoes on!

Some people have trouble with all those 'shalls' and 'shall nots' listed in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the 'King James' into 'Jackson County' language.....no joke! Posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, Tennessee you'll find the Ten Commandments listed this way...

1. Just one God
2. Put nothin' before God
3. Watch yer mouth
4. Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
5. Honor yer Ma & Pa
6. No killin'
7. No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
8. Don't take what ain't yers
9. No tellin' tales or gossipin'
10. Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff

Now that's plain an' simple.

Y'all have a nice week now! Ye hear?

Hope that brought a smile to your face...

Did You Know?

Did you know these facts about the Dalit people of India?

• The Dalits are considered less valuable than animals and less than human.
  
• The Dalits, although considered Hindu by the upper castes, are not allowed to enter a temple or read the Vedas (Hindu scriptures).


• There are 250 to 300 million Dalits in India (estimated population of the U.S. is 298 million).


• Only 2% of rural Dalit women can read and write.


• More than 50% of the Dalit population earns less than $1.00 per day.


• Children begin working as young as 5 years old, contributing to the family's income.


• The Dalit leadership has rejected Hinduism. The caste system has enslaved them for over 3,000 years.


• The Dalits will be helped with the profits that will fund and support women's empowerment causes in India that include tailoring schools (VTC), micro-finance (self-help) groups and women's empowerment conferences.


• So far there have been 27 graduates of a Vocational Training Center tailoring school funded by the 1st Annual "Women Empowering Women" Walk/Run.
  

The Women Empowering Women Walk/Run challenges the local women through fitness training and sponsorships to empower the Dalit women of India in their quest for social, economic and spiritual freedom.

Gay Gene? I Don't Think So...

I came across this scientifically informative article regarding the myth of the "gay gene" and thought it should be read and spread far and wide to stop the stupidity that people have been spreading around with no scientific evidence whatsoever!
