The Plan..

2009-03-05T01:14:00.003-05:00

Ok, so heres the plan. I am abandoning this blog. It's no surprise that this blog no longer interests me. So, I have planned to start two new blogs. I know what your thinking "WTF, you couldnt keep up with one let alone two.". But I'm going to work at this. They probably wont be updated as often as much as this one was. But I think I can make it work. I will update this post and add the links to the new blogs once I finish them. So keep an eye out.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've had the flu for a couple days and I'm still a bit under the weather. I just wanted to let you guys know that I might not be posting on here for a while. As you are probably aware, I'm trying to think of a new blog name/url and I haven't had any luck as of yet. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some suggestions. I would also like to ask you guys what you would like to see on the blog. What would you like me to blog about? What features would you like to see?

Leave your suggestions below or email me at thethinkingminority@gmail.com

Thanks.

Chimpanzee Attacks!

2009-02-18T15:38:00.003-05:00

I've always wanted to have a pet monkey....until now.

Sandra Herold, age 70, pleaded with a 911 operator to "please hurry" as her friend was being attacked by Herold's pet Chimpanzee. During the attack Herold stated that the chimp was tearing her friend apart. While the chimp screamed in the background, Herold cried out "He's killed my friend".

The victim, Charla Nash, 55, remains hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after the chimp, once featured in television commercials for Coca-Cola and Old Navy, attacked her Monday afternoon, police said.

While her friend was being attacked, Herold was unable to pull the primate off. She then called 911 before stabbing the chimp with a butcher knife and hitting him with a shovel. Neither fazed Travis, who police said had been like a child to Herold.

Police had shot the chimp numerous times before finding the Chimpanzee dead.

You're 70 years old, you can barely make it down a flight of stairs. What makes you think that you can pull a blood thirsty Chimpanzee off your best friend? I know that people get attached to their pets, but when you can no longer take care of that pet, you must get rid of it. Who knows if this would've happened if Herold would've gotten rid of her chimpanzee. But now the animal is dead and the owners best friend is in need of a face transplant.

After this attack I am now convinced that Chimpanzees are going to take over the world. One day all the Chimpanzees are going to snap and start taking people out. Their weapon of choice.... a banana.

Question of the Day: Should people be allowed to own pets such as Chimpanzees?

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been kinda busy. I'm uploading a new podcast as I speak. But before I do I thought I should let you know about some of the changes I have made to the site.

This will send you to a new page. There is also a link in the navigation bar that says "TTM Podcasts". This will send you to a page where you can view all of my podcasts.

I know it may be confusing but I've been having some formatting problems and this is the only other solution I could think of. So until I am able to fix this or I redesign the site, you can view my podcasts by following the directions above.

Free antibiotics....It's about @$#%@! time!

2009-02-09T18:34:00.005-05:00

We all know the current tough economic times has everybody looking for a way to save a couple bucks. With colds and flu swarming around every classroom and grocery store, certain pharmacies are giving away free antibiotics.

The Stop and Shop Pharmacy is never empty in Cromwell, New Hampshire. Lines are long but move quickly since customers no longer have to pay for their antibiotics. The company is giving away free antibiotics until March 21st to help out with the tough economic times.

Stop and Shop Pharmacy isn't the only company offering free antibiotics. Shop right stores around Connecticut are also giving away free antibiotics.

It's about damn time this happens. There are too many people in this country who cannot afford medication, finally somebody is doing something about it.

I don't know about everybody else, but I, myself, do not have medical coverage. So when I get sick I have to find a way to beat it, or just let it run it's course. This year I have been lucky enough to not need to see a doctor. But not everybody is that lucky.

People are dying because they cannot afford medicine and it's ridiculous. Our government is willing to chuck out $800 billion dollars to help businesses who just keep blowing money out the waazoo, but not to help citizens who can't pay their bill. Yeah, the economic stimulus may could (notice how I say COULD), help the economy. But even if it does, it won't be immediately. It won't help people pay their bills for the month. It won't allow people to pay off the hospital bills. Hell, it won't even pay for the gas to get you to the hospital you can't afford!

We need to worry less about these corporations, and start worrying about the people of america. Now I'm not saying not to help out the corporations. But not $800 billion dollars. Send some of that money to the people that need it. I think that by now we have noticed that the bailouts aren't working. People are still losing their jobs (over 100,000 just in last week). And obviously the current "economic stimulus" up for debate in Washington is not supported by both parties. We're forcing this plan into action, just like we did with the bailouts. And guess what? THE BAILOUTS DIDN'T WORK!!! It's no big secret. The corporations spent the money on lavish getaways and luxuries. Don't believe? In 2008 Citi financial group tried to use $45 million dollars of bailout money to buy a corporate jet. Need I say more?

Question of the Day: Do you support the Economic Stimulus?

Update!!!

2009-02-06T14:30:00.001-05:00

Well guys, there isn't anything really worth talking about today. So I'm going to update you guys on what's going on here at The Thinking Minority. As you are aware, I am always looking to increase my number of subscribers. So I'm asking you guys to spread the word about my blog. Tell your friends and family about it. All my blog posts have the ability to be emailed by clicking the icon at the bottom of each post. I have also decided that I will do a podcast/ vlog once or twice a week while still posting my usual amount of blogs. I'm hoping that this will attract more readers while making it more entertaining for you guys (my current readers). There has been some tweaks I've made to the site recently. The "About" tab in the nav bar is now fully functional so give it a click. There are some other new links I have posted so go ahead and explore.

Among the current updates I also have a couple things planned for the future. Such as a photo page where subscribers can comment and possibly add photos. I'm working on a newsletter which will send you updates and offer special features to newsletter recipients. I have some other things planned that I'm really excited about but I've decided to keep those things to myself. So keep reading and exploring the site to find out.

Question of the Day: What can I do to make my blog more enjoyable?

Nazi Zombies, and a Bishop Who Denies the Holocaust.

2009-02-04T15:49:00.006-05:00

Two weeks ago Bishop Richard Williamson gave an interview on a Swedish Public Television Station in which Williamson said that the Nazis had not murdered over 6 million Jews during World War II.

Bishop Richard Williamson during a Swedish TV interview

Pope Benedict XVI has recently rehabilitated the Bishop, who was excommunicated in 1988 for rebelling against the Vatican's modernizing reforms throughout the 1960's. By recently rehabilitating Williamson, the excommunication has been lifted and he has been reinstated by the church.

Now German police are looking into the statements by Williamson. In Germany any comments glorifying or denying the crimes committed by the Nazis is punishable up to 5 years in prison.

This is crazy. How can you possibly argue that 6 million people never died? You'll believe that there is a God and he created the earth in seven days, but you'll say that the murdering of 6 million people never took place?

"Can you believe they found more evidence of the Holocaust?"
"What? The Holocaust, that's not real you know?"
"Yes it is, isn't it?"
"Nope, they're just making it look a lot worse than it actually was."
"Yeah, I expected that."

"So I heard some guy talking about how God created the world in seven days...what a joke."
"Dude, that shit's real."

Hacking Into Electronic Road Signs...

It's the newest trend. Only the cool kids are doing it.

The latest breach occurred in Collinsville, Illinois, on Tuesday morning during rush hour. Commuters that were traveling southbound on Interstate 255 witnessed the prank first hand. Hackers had changed an electronic road sign to read, "DAILY LANE CLOSURE DUE TO ZOMBIES!" and "NAZI ZOMBIES AHEAD! RUN!".

In Illinois, tampering with an official traffic control device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $250 fine.

LMFAO! This has to be one of the best pranks I've ever heard of. It's so worth the $250 fine.

Superbowl XXX...

2009-02-02T19:06:00.003-05:00

With less than 3 minutes left in the game, Super Bowl XLIII quickly turned into "Super Bowl XXX".

The Super Bowl fans in Tucson, Arizona, caught a different kind of show during last nights big game. When Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals sprinted into the endzone with about 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, 10 seconds of eye-popping porn consumed television screens across Tucson, Arizona.

After the disturbing incident Comcast Cable made this following statement,"We are mortified by last evening's Super Bowl interruption, and deeply apologize to our customers for the inappropriate programming."

Comcast and other local television stations that aired the "Porn-Bowl", say they are currently investigating what caused the interruption.

LMFAO...I never thought it would get any worse than the Janet Jackson incident. I was WRONG.

I mean a little boobage is one thing. But having a guy swing his junk back and forth in front of some chicks face is another. Although it was extremely inappropriate, what happened Sunday night was EPIC.

I have been asked to include the link to the video. So I will, but I must stress that the video is EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE. And should not be viewed in front of children. Let's remember that this Porn and not Spongebob Squarepants.

Where's My Bailout?

2009-02-01T16:24:00.002-05:00

It seems like everyone these days expects a handout. First it was GM(General Motors), the it was the retailers, now the auto part suppliers. I want to know where the hell is my bailout?

In Detroit, Michigan, Auto part suppliers are preparing to head to Washington to ask the government for a bailout of there own. Suppliers had already asked for help this past November when Congress was considering the bailout for GM and Chrysler, who were granted 13.4 Billion dollars.

This is getting ridiculous. It seems like everyone and there mother is expecting a handout from good ole' Uncle Sam. There is no reason why our government should be giving these bailouts. I understand the GM bailout. It was with good intentions, we just went about it wrong. We made the decision too quickly to give the bailout. I believe we gave them far too much money with no stipulations to follow. And obviously the bailouts are not working considering that GM keeps asking for more money!

Look, me and you don't receive a bailout when we cannot afford to pay our bills. Why should they?

Obama Arrested!!!!

2009-01-30T17:07:00.000-05:00

I wouldn't lie to you would I?

Is it true that Obama was arrested? Yes.

What was he arrested for? Possession of Marijuana.

Can he be impeached? No.

Why not? He's not the President.

Today, George Obama, President Obama's half-brother, was arrested by Kenyan police on the charge of possession of marijuana. Although he is behind bars, Obama denies the allegations.

I told you I wouldn't lie...

Before you go making assumptions, President Obama barely knows his half brother. Although they have met before. I imagine it wasn't a very pleasant meeting, as President Obama only describes the meeting as a "painful affair".

I can only imagine what ran through the Presidents head when he arrived at his half-brothers home...

"Nice hutt you got there..."

Ok that was mean...I'm done.

Welcome to the new blog everyone! Thank you to the readers who followed me from my last blog, it's nice to have you back. For those of you who are not familiar with me allow me to introduce myself. My name is Matt Snyder, I'm eighteen years old. I have spent the last six months taking time off of school. I will be attending college in the fall for only God knows what. I enjoy many things. Music, Movies, and Politics are just to name a few. All of which you will be able to read about on my blog. So don't forget to subscribe in the sidebar! Enough about me, let's talk about my blog.

I am a very straightforward person. When I have a problem with something, I speak my mind. I believe that freedom of speech is the most important freedom we have as Americans, and I intend to use it. Sadly, I also believe that some people just shouldn't be entitled to such a freedom. I believe that America is made of up two kinds of people....smart people...and stupid people. Over the years I have seen this country become full of ignorance and stupidity. And to be honest, I'm sick and tired of it.

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

I am tired of not being able to have an intelligent conversation with half the people my age. I am tired of arguing with someone twice my age about what ethnicity our president is. I am tired of being outnumbered. I am The Thinking Minority.
