I have made some movement into my investigation into convenient stores and why they have two distinctive cash registers in their stores.  I have wondered what the scam was and why they ask "credit or debit" and then choose the register.  Today I frequented a store and the attendant gave me a little insight.  They were busy and she asked me "credit or debit", I said debit and she sighed and ran it on the machine that is typically just for credit.  A long line on both registers remind you.  I said "I didn't know that this register would run debit".  She said that it will and that the reason is the owner tells them to only use the other register if at all possible for debit.  She went on to say that the company that provided the fuel, Shamrock, Exxon, Texaco etc. looks at all transactions that go through that terminal that is typically used for credit.  I assume they take a piece of the pie.  So ladies and gentlemen that is possibly one reason why convenient stores have two registers for different payment methods.

I was guessing taxes or something.

I have known for some time that something fishy was going on, so once I know which register is which I always try to use debit on the "credit" register.  I like to see them act like the machine is down, or say it isn't working on that machine.  I now call their B.S.

What a way to live, lie everyday to hundreds of people, and make your place of business smell like a nursing home.

Twice in the past two days I have heard democrat friends say that they support drug testing for welfare.  That brings up a couple of questions, 1.  Why has it taken so long to implement, 2.  Is anyone against this?

Seems like we really should cling to the things we agree on.  Hey we agree on SOMETHING!

I don't have the same feelings to people who dodge taxes than I used to.

Comparing Gays to Civil rights is absolutely ridiculous.  It just reinforces my theory that Libs need a wounded group of people to install fear and sympathy.  Replenishing their voting ranks.

Having said that It isn't very Christian to deny services to the gay.  Christians do not deny service to prostitutes, drug addicts, and thieves.  In the eyes of God a sin is a sin.  We are the ones that list and rate sin.

God did not intend for "sin is a sin in the eyes of God" to diminish the (little sins) but to express that telling a little white lie is as bad in his eyes as murder.

The progressives in our government want stricter gun laws, why?  They are attempting to sell this by saying it will save lives.  That is an argument itself, but I will let the NRA refute that with their statistics.  To clarify, I am writing this with the opinion that stricter gun laws will not save lives. 

Since when do progressives want to save lives?  Progressives want abortions at any stage of development and in some cases after birth and not only in cases of blotched abortions.  They cite many reasons for this but it boils down that if a child is undesirable then they would like to opportunity to kill the child.  Examples would be birth defects, mental retardation.  Sound familiar?

Progressives also promote euthanasia.  If someone wants to die they feel that in the best interest of the collective to allow this.  If someone is old and a burden to society they would like them to be put down.  Currently only the fringe progressives are vocal about this but you will begin seeing a larger number of them that support this.  Tie this in with universal healthcare and the cost of caring for the elderly or the mentally challenged and the totals justify controlled death.  In their opinion.

Life is not important to progressives, they hate the idea that God gives us life and it is up to God to take it.  They hate the idea that people believe in Jesus Christ.  They hate the idea of the traditional family.  The traditional family is actually opposite of what progressives see as the future of our country.  Collective transformation is what they seek, kids being raised by the government, indoctrinated by the government and excluding the parents influence in the education of our future.

So I am to understand that progressives want to restrict gun ownership with the idea that it will save lives?  They are not in the business of saving live it is actually quite the opposite.

Progressive initiatives like Agenda 21 accounts for acceptable losses after the implementation of the sustainable development programs.  Some estimate that number could be 500,000,000.  They cite that the number of humans on the earth right now will eventually kill the earth.  It might, but humans are more important that the earth.  In my opinion.

So, since when do progressives want to save lives?  I recently read a good article talking about the people committing these horrific crimes, which has brought this issue to the forefront.  Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora Colorado Theater just to name a few.  These murders are NOT your NRA members , they are not your average hunters, they are not your average gun nut, nor your average redneck. 

They are as follows.

Ft Hood: Registered Democrat/Muslim.
Columbine: Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.
Virginia Tech: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff.
Colorado Theater: Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal.
Connecticut School Shooter: Registered Democrat; hated Christians.

Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.

So in short their own people are committing these horrible actions of protest/political statements/I don’t even know how to describe this.  They are using their own people to kill innocent lives in an effort to disarm the population.  Disarming the population is their goal, not saving lives.  

  

The next question is why do they want to disarm the population?

I want my 12 year old boy to fail. I want him to loose and I want him to learn from those experiences. I want him to know it sucks to loose, and most importantly I want him to learn that he can fight that and work hard to prevent it. I also want him to win after he has earned it. Winning and not earning it will lead him to the Democrats. They love giving stuff to people that have not earned it. I want him to win and loose with dignity. After he learns that I want him to be able to equate that with life. I never want him to cheat, lie or take shortcuts.

I see parents doing so much for their kids, carrying their sports bags, backpacks, everything but playing the sport for them. What does that do for the child? Life is still present even after a loss or a win. I see parents carrying the kids bags after a loss like they are fragile little dolls that can't muster the energy to carry a 15lb bag because they are SO upset after a loss. Boo Hoo, you lost, move on and get over it. I bet that kid has the energy to play video games when he gets home. Kids need to know that no matter what there will be chores, rules and stuff that has to be done even after a bad game or bad day. That's life. I want the boy to know that sports are important for building character but they are just a game. Life is real and in life no one is going to carry your bag after a bad day.

I am always trying to find the happy median of giving him sports instruction. I want to teach him and I want him to learn, but I also want him to learn things on his own. I want him to be independent and be a problem solver in all walks of life. He will not learn that if I am always right there to assist him. But I will be there for him. We each learn different, I can tell him how I did it but it will not be the same for him. I try to give him the basics and let him figure out the rest. I then try to impress on him the importance of repetition. I try to keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't learning wrong. It is hard not to stand there and give every sports pointer known to man but him learning on his own is hours of practice he is getting. Plus I have learned if I am there working with him practice will not be nearly as long as when he is by himself. We all have different paces. I am learning more than he is.

People who want bigger government suck! They apparently do nothing in life but bitch and complain. Bureaucracy is killing this country. Any active business person, business owner or active employee knows this. So apparently the people that want more government don't do JACK. Otherwise they would see the BS that I and many others have to deal with.

I love the show HOMELAND. It being a cable show there are few episodes a season and I seem to be always wanting more. A good sign of a tv show. Another show The Americans is a close second. I fills the void when Homeland is not on. I highly recommend watching both.

Also:

House of cards, American or British versions.

And of course The Walking Dead. Pure greatness, probably my favorite.

Wife likes Downton Abbey. Not bad, not bad at all.

Also Justified

I love Jesus, my wife and family, Texas, and beer.
