So Much Noise ...

According to a year-long online study led by Trevor Cox, a professor of acoustic engineering at Salford University in England, & more than one million votes, the top 10 sounds we most hate to hear are:

1. Vomiting
2. Microphone feedback
3. Multiple babies crying
4. Scraping of train wheels
5. Seesaw squeaking
6. Violin
7. Flatulence
8. One baby crying
9. Soap opera argument
10. Electricity hum

PROUD TO BE WHITE

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You Call me "White Boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" .. And that's OK.

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,

So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You
Have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have the NAACP.

You have BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) .. We'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day .. You would call us racists.

If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives ..

We'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships

... You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White colleges" ....

THAT would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights,

You would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride ..

You call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society ...

You call him a racist.

I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Then we heard there was another suicide.

Then we heard something about a shooting. Totally unrelated to everything else going on.

Good grief.

Two women had smoked some sort of regular cigarette and was unresponsive afterwards, still breathing but not responding. The word also is Ray James was shot either committed sideways or accidental.

The two women were Mona Tinnel and her Daughter Debbie. Seems that the cigarette was laced with something.

It's a little eerie to be reading about the mysterious death of someone you know while there's a commercial on TV for "Charleston's only crematorium."

So I'll just talk about something else instead.

Have you ever watched Channel 8 in the morning? Patrick McMurtry (sp?) is a bit of a dorkus.

Larry Thomas had a massive heart attack and died in prison several weeks ago. Which in my opinion was just an easy way out for him, considering he murdered someone. I think he should've suffered for a while, just like his victim!

Get with it.

I don't believe for one second that Ray James would commit suicide.

As far as Ray James, one never knows what is going on inside another person's mind. Many people have those extremely overwhelming moments and are able to somehow work through them each time. All it takes is one time of not being able to do so.

Dear Rose:

I visit this blog daily and though usually people have nothing good to talk about, i enjoy reading what is being said.

I request a favor of you and hopefully you will grant this. Please let Ray James die in peace. I am not a close friend or a relative, but I do believe in letting someone die without the problems or speculations that are going to take place on this blog.

Please remove any unneccessary comments that you see fit.

Thank you

Anonymous said...

sick?? there is a whole indudtry around cameltoes. i will pay $$$$ to anyone interested and will sign an agreement to allow posting on cameltoe.com. just the cameltoe will be viewed

Anonymous said...

I agree that Ray James should be allowed to rest in peace.

But to be quite honest, if Rose does grant your request "anon" that would be only a very small iota of what is being said/whispered/speculated EVERYWHERE else. On the phone, in emails, on the street, grocery store, dollar store. The speculation is already running rampant. Blog or no blog.

Blogs are a place to put your feelings. I think that if you are offended by someone voicing their feelings about his death, then you need not visit this particular blog for a while.

With that being said, let me also say that: I don't mean that I want all manner of trash being spread on here about Mr. James. But I think Rose is super smart, tactful, sympathetic and couretous enough to remove comments that would be completely unnecessary.

The fact remains that the idle chat about his death is already in full swing.

Ray is not being harmed by any of this he hears none of it, sees none of it, and feels no pain. How ever, those family & friends that he left behind are the ones that should be considered.

Anonymous said...

Nobody else ever died in peace since these blog opened. Why should Ray James be special?

ROSE said...

"Please remove any unneccessary comments that you see fit." Um ... thank you for granting me permission to do what, as the owner of this bog, I've always done anyway. teeheehee

Ray James had just as much right to die in peace as anybody. I had no control over how he died. He also has every right to rest in peace. I have no control over that, either.

How he rests is ultimately up to how he lived, as it is with all of us. If he left an iota of a crumb on which to build a rumor, you can bet that rumor is halfway to the moon by now, regardless of what's said and/or left on this blog.

You should know that BLOG is really just a gossip column that is run by individuals seeking attention.

If you want more gossip then purchase the gossipumincator, because that is all it is too is someones stupid opinion.

If you wants facts and cold hard truth, then read the real newspapers and websites. These gossip blogs can only exist if you support them.

Anonymous said...

Supporting them...kind of like you're doing now?
"gossipumincator"??? That's retarded.
Blogs aren't just gossip columns, they can be a great means of resource. Maybe this one doesn't fit that criteria at all times. But you're stereotyping. Not to mention passing judgement. Are you God?
You think websites and newspaper are nothing but "truth and fact"??? I am so hoping you aren't a teacher.

I might mention also, that like the words, "snack" and "headache", "blog" is not plural. It's only used that way by people who wish to appear that they know something when in reality, they're usually idiots.

The post there that's from today's Gazette? That's the kind of "facts" & "cold hard truth" available in the mass media marketplace. Channel 3 news used a lot of words to say authorities weren't saying anything.

The people of Clay County are a sick batch of people. Each and everyone of you. The James family is going through a terrible time. Do anyone of you care? What if you were to die today, either by God's will or your own hand...Would you want people talking trash and posting trash on the internet for them to see? I don't think so. Ray James helped alot of people in Clay County, whether you know it or not. If you were lucky enough to get to know him on a personal level, you would know what I mean. You people need to stop and think about what you are posting before you post it. Have some respect for the family of Ray James...even if you don't have any respect for yourself or your family.

Ray James was an intelligent educated man. Even a fool could predict that suicide would start rumors. He did that to his own family. He's the one that left them open to all the gossip.

God's will or your own hand??

if your going to reference God's will you should know that even if you commit suicide then it is done for a bigger reason and maybe a lesson for others. But all things are done under God's will. He controls all and gives everyone the choices to make that allows them to go astray. Its saID that he gives those choices because he is a loving and kind God that doesn't want to force his subjects to love him. When the go to far instead of forcing them into submission he destroys them.

ROSE said...

I doubt seriously that Mr. James's family is sitting around reading what's being written on this blog. In fact, I've already heard everything that's posted here from several different sources, none of which have anything to do with the internet. Posting it is no different from saying it right out loud, except here, nobody knows who you are.

Yeah, I deleted the Vultures comment. I'm wondering if "Vultures" was used there like ... say ... Vulcans. Have we all been called Vulcans? 'cause I gotta tell ya, that finger thing? That's not all that impressive. I can do way better tricks than that.

Is the story, rumors about Ray James more important than lets say, TGC who was buying child porn not only from his business but from home too? Perhaps people should talk about what needs to be done to the perverts of the county instead of someone who was obviously having problems. Why don't you all put your moaning, groaning and complaining to a better a use by getting child perverts off the streets and away from our children.

Anonymous said...

our constitution says innocent until proven guilty!! the child porn thing can be a witch hunt until proven guilty. then shame on the guy. he at that time isnt a societible person.

but if mr james's letter pens him as a murderer in his own hand writing. why should we give him a break?? he should have thought of his family and not left it to the public to give them a break.

they might be grieving but if he had any thing to do with it, is it justice that a man went to prison and died in prison either because of false conviction or actions under severe duress or stress(his wife cheating). think about what mr james letter might mean to the thomas family.

If you look at the statistcs you can see that more often than not the "perverts" aren't on the streets but in your own home or your relative's home.

Ya know, death under any circumstances is sad for somebody, but we've lost 4 World War II veterans this week. That's sad for everybody.

Reading their obituaries makes so many lives pale in comparison.

They gave so much & came from an era that expected little in return.

The world was such a different place then; we've lost so much more than our veterans.

Mr. Eagle holds a special place on this blog by virtue of who he was to one of my favorite visitors here. My deepest sympathies to you, DJE.

Clay County has had a sad week as I was friends with some that have passed this week. Mr. "Jesse James" Eagle was always there ready to do his part for the future generations of this county and would stick by you till the very end. Mr J.B Gray I can remember when I was probably 5 years old when he came to our farm to work building fence. His phone calls will be missed by many and his honesty with you was a trait not many people have now days. He also would be there till the end. They have all fought the fight and stood the race of time and gone on to better places for a rest. Our sympathy to all the familys and their great losses.
