Comment on How Much Privacy Can VPN Providers Really Offer? by AdinaWuffet

AdinaWuffet — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:59:29 +0000

I am very much concerned about my online privacy and data security. There are lot of VPN softwares available in the market but I always prefer “Hotspot Shield” VPN which is one of the most VPN service provider amongst all other VPN’s.

In my experience HSS is the reliable VPN provider which is best for internet privacy. Check it out here – http://www.hotspotshield.com/internet-privacy

Comment on Death from Rabies Transmitted via Organ Transplant by Brian Carnell

Interesting…bought a copy of that years ago but never got around to actually reading it. There are some very bizarre instances of people getting diseases from organ transplants, including some guy who essentially got uterine cancer from the kidney he received from a woman who suffered from the disease: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/37624303/

Well I’m not one to argue, but I can say they’re in no way a pyramid scheme, I didn’t have to do any “salesman” type stuff to make money with them, I had people begging me to sell them products every day, and I left because I found an MLM I wanted to be a part of more, I still respect them as the best MLM.

It is a pyramid scheme. Did you check out the slideshow?

I’ve been through a Herbalife marketing presentation. The pitch is that they are a company that sells nutritional supplements, but as the slideshow documents (and anyone who has been to one of these presentations quickly realizes) the real money is made in selling product to their internal distributor network.

Or, basically, they trick you into thinking you’re a sales person when you’re actually the customer.

If you scroll on down to Slide 114 on the presentation, you’ll note that Herbalife is so focused on using new distributors as its money maker that it doesn’t even attempt to track what percentage of its products actually end up being sold to consumers outside of its distributor network.

The bottom line is if you are someone who is good at a sales-type job, there are going to be much better opportunities for you in legitimate sales positions. If you are not, you are going to be wasting your time and money in MLM schemes.

Jacob Barlow — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 23:47:45 +0000

Herbalife is like any other MLM company, legit and attacked. They get advertised by people (not by themselves) as being easier than reality to make money when in reality it’s like any business anyone starts and you have to work really hard to make money.
You can join any MLM and work hard consistently and become a success, you can join any MLM and not work hard enough and never become one and wander off looking for something to blame… usually that it was a “scam.” I’m not promoting Herbalife but I am a distributor, I don’t use it to make money, I sell people products if they ask me for them at my cost.
Herbalife is a good company and so is every MLM I’ve studied.

Comment on Ricky McGinn, the 2006 Version by Brian Carnell

Brian Carnell — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 15:59:13 +0000

@Irene Weimer well of course…out of all of my discussion about Ricky McGinn and Roger Coleman, their collective innocence or guilt turns on whether or not Stephanie Flanarie was McGinn’s neice or stepdaughter…everything else from the DNA testing to how groups centered around ending unjust death penalty laws should approach specific cases is irrelevant and I probably should have left it out.

Thanks.

Comment on John Stebbins — War Hero to Convict by Sothis58

Sothis58 — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:09:22 +0000

The US military is full of pedophiles and other deviants, it’s basicaly a prison with uniforms. I have known lots of good people that were in the military. Don’t take me wrong, there are always good people, even in prison there are people who just did the wrong thing and made a mistake and are doing time for it. And there are lots of people who go in the military to get college paid for, or are really patriots and all that, I’m not talking about those guys. All of them (my various friends who have done military time in all four branches)for the most part told me about the majority of their fellow troops was that they were drug addled idiots and ex cons, some of whom are sexual deviants, or they saw some of the fucked up shit that the military was involved in with contractors (one friend told me about the shit he saw in Kosovo with all the under age child trafficking and shit, and this was after the crack up on the Dyncorp prostitution ring, that was all really played down anyway to give the bad press some kind of ending.). Now keep in mind I’m a pretty secular hip guy, I’m not talking about tieing your wife up or swinger party types, or kinky sex in a animal costume bullshit, I’m talking about repeat offender child molesting and fucking rape like it’s a god damn hobby-shit bags. The only way the Military Industrial complex is able to keep it’s power base it would seem is to A) have perpetual wars, and B) make sure their ranks are swelled with the most psychotic,brain washed fuck tard manics we can get out of jail sentences or straight out of the White Aryan Resistance (guys looking for traing for the race war, you know those fucking morons), or the street gangs, or MS13 or what ever to make sure every one is scared shitless of what will happen if the politicos get out of line. What would happen would be 150,000 active duty maniacs that they would sick on the civilian populace under martial law. it’s really ridiculous if you think about it

How is it so hard to fathom what happened?

Their are many people are are social deviants who in the moment of battle would fight and help their commrades. Many would run into a burning house to save someone.

So what?

Just because someone was in the military, even who performed a heroic act in battle, does not mean they are an overall good person. Yes, our military should be honored for their service and it should entitle them to recognition and social service benefits (more than they receive now).

However, they are still acountable for their actions both later in their service career and civilian life. A heroic record does not entitle anyone to immunity from civil or criminal law.

John Stebbins was originally a Lt. who resigned his commision and re-upped as enlisted because he could not hack civilian life.

And just so everyone knows, as often happens with military criminal cases, once the attention waned, Stebbins was transferred to the low security federal prison in Elkton Ohio and resentenced to be let go May 20, 2019. That is seven years. A long time to be in prison but an eye-blink in normal life. Mark my words. Someone this deviant should never be let out. He will re-offend. This is something that can not be fixed.

He will re-offend.

Megan, if you are reading this please seek help. Both medical and spiritual. Create a life for yourself with people around you. Do not isolate yourself.

God bless you.
