Jeff was reading the news a little while ago concentrating on a story about a home invasion in Millburn NJ. He started to look at other sites to see if the creep had been caught and he found some very disturbing racist sites all using the word nigger in their URL. He thought it was pretty hypocritical of people t demand that Paul Deen and other people have their careers ruined while we let these hate site exist on the net. Now Jeff is no fan of censorship but he feels if we’re going to persecute people for things they have said or did then these sites should be taken down. I can already hear the lawyers for the ACLU screaming constitutional rights but if their right why are we hassling people who have apologized for the dumb statements. This is a very confused Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin.

I decided to take a look at what went on yesterday the 4th of July. It’s a big holiday in the US, but it’s just another day down here. There were a lot of highs and lows let’s start with the lows first Medellin didn’t get the 2018 Junior Olympics, people in Arizona were trying to be happy for the kids even though 19 firefighters had died this week . Twenty five people were injured at a fireworks display in California and other individuals were injured at other celebrations around the country. I don’t know what it is about Holidays but everywhere you go people use them as an excuse to be stupid. In Colombia everybody gets a little drunker than usual lots of dancing and loud parties. In the US they have hot dog eating contests where you see how many hotdogs you can eat in 10 min the woman who won eat 36 and a quarter. How do you eat a quarter did someone take a ruler and measure it? The man eat, are you ready for this, 69 hot dogs in 10 min. Not even fats can do that I mean that’s really a dumb way to spend the holiday. I need some Pepto after that this is Flounder saying CAIO from Colombia.

It’s me Flounder I’m back I get tired of listening to fats tell me how hard this was. Let’s get started Colombia has had a bad couple of days starting with the defeat of the heavily favored U20 soccer team losing on penalty shot to little South Korea. Then this morning as people gathered for what they thought would be a celebration had their hearts broken again when the Junior Olympics were awarded to Buenas Arias Argentina. It would have been a coup for President Santos and would of helped this country immensely by forcing it to pay attention to Medellin instead of Bogota. There would have had to be a lot of improvements in the infrastructure in Medellin all of which would have done good. Medellin is not as some people still think the kidnap, bombing, and drive by capitol of South America those titles belong to Venezuela. Getting the games would have necessitated improvements in roads and other areas of transportation as well as requiring the police to modernize and get more effective on low level crime. Anyhow me condolences to the people of Colombia and specifically Medellin but things will get better just a little more slowly then I think they would have preferred. This is the genuine Flounder saying CIAO from lovely Medellin

It’s me Jeff again today I would like to talk about freedom of speech. We all have heard that governments and business’s try to limit what we can say; now we have individuals attempting the same thing. I make a lot of comments on Yahoo concerning news stories I read and for the most part the feedback that I get, both positive and negative, is constructive and far from being a personal attack on me. That’s not always the case, for the second time I felt threatened by somebody personal attack on me. In the past I would have gotten into a war of words with the idiot for fun now, especially since I believe it’s the same person I had Yahoo block a few months ago, I just repeated the process and blocked him again. The point of all this is I make comment a on Yahoo in the hope that I might get comments back that would start a fun dialog on whatever subject I had commented on. Well now I really have to be upset by the story to even think about commenting since it would seem that the people who respond don’t believe in free speech and are racist and anti everything. So to make a long story short if you have the urge to comment on a story on Yahoo write a blog instead you less likely to run into hurtful replies since most blog readers have an IQ above moron. This is Jeff filling in for lazy Flounder once again saying CIAO from Medellin
