Any lawyers here on the LP?

If it ain't one thing, it's another.

I just received a certified letter from a towing company claiming I owe them for a car that was towed. I sold the car to someone about 9 months ago. They never went to register it, so it's still in my name, even though I have a written contract stating, and signed by the new owner. They claim that because the contract wasn't notorized, it's not valid.

So ,,,now the towing company wants me to pay 285 bucks, and will add 25 bucks everyday for storage, until I pay.

The lady at the DMV claims it's still in my name. I said to her that I didn't know I have to babysit people after I sell them the car, making sure they go to the DMV and register it.

This is totally rediculous. Nice laws we have. You would think that it would say something about this issue on the back of the title, so as to inform the public about the dangers of selling a car and what my legal responsiblities are. Maybe it does, and I didn't read the fine print. But I'm pretty sure it doesen't. What is the point of signing it on the back, and stating that I sold the car for so and so amount if it's not binding?

Technology gone wrong. Could big brother also be listening?

If a couple of computer geeks are able to do this to someone, I'm sure the government also can. 
A horror movie come to life
Three Fircrest families receive death threats via cell phone. Even when the phones are off. Even when they get new phones.

SEAN ROBINSON; The News Tribune
Published: June 20th, 2007 01:00 AM
Maybe it’s just a long-running prank, but the reign of terror endured by three Fircrest families buries the needle on the creepy meter.

For four months, the Kuykendalls, the Prices and the McKays say, they’ve been harassed and threatened by mysterious cell phone stalkers who track their every move and occasionally lurk by their homes late at night, screaming and banging on walls.

Police can’t seem to stop them. The late-night visitors vanish before officers arrive. The families say investigators have a hard time believing the stalkers can control cell phones without touching them and suspect an elaborate hoax. Complaints to their phone companies do no good – the families say they’ve been told what the stalkers are doing is impossible.

It doesn’t feel impossible to Heather Kuykendall and her sister, Darci Price, who’ve saved and recorded scores of threatening voice mails, uttered in throaty, juvenile rasps stolen from bad horror films.

Price and Kuykendall have given the callers a name: “Restricted.” That’s the word that shows up on their caller ID windows: on the land lines at home, and on every one of their cell phones.

Their messages, left at all hours, threaten death – to the families, their children and their pets.

“They tell us that they see us,” Kuykendall said Tuesday. “They tell us that they know everything we’re doing.”

It’s gotten so bad the sisters’ parents have offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who identifies the culprits.

The stalkers know what the family is eating, when adults leave the house, when they go to baseball games. They know the color of shirt Courtney Kuykendall, 16, is wearing. When Heather Kuykendall recently installed a new lock on the door of the house, she got a voice mail. During an interview with The News Tribune on Tuesday, she played the recording.

The stalkers taunted her, telling her they knew the code. In another message, they threatened shootings at the schools Kuykendall’s children attend.

“I’m warning you,” one guttural message says. “Don’t send them to school. If you do, say goodbye.”

Somehow, the callers have gained control of the family cell phones, Price and Kuykendall say. Messages received by the sisters include snatches of conversation overheard on cell-phone mikes, replayed and transmitted via voice mail. Phone records show many of the messages coming from Courtney’s phone, even when she’s not using it – even when it’s turned off.

Price and Kuykendall say the stalkers knew when they visited Fircrest police and sent a voice-mail message that included a portion of their conversation with a detective.

The harassment seems to center on Courtney, but it extends to her parents, her aunt Darcy and Courtney’s friends, including Taylor McKay, who lives across the street in Fircrest. Her mother, Andrea McKay, has received messages similar to those left at the Kuykendall household and cell phone bills approaching $1,000 for one month. She described one recent call: She was slicing limes in the kitchen. The stalkers left a message, saying they preferred lemons.

“Taylor and Courtney seem to be the hub of the harassment, and different people have branched off from there,” Andrea McKay said. “I don’t know how they’re doing it. They were able to get Taylor’s phone number through Courtney’s phone, and every contact was exposed.”

McKay, a teacher in the Peninsula School District, said she and Taylor recently explained the threats to the principal at Gig Harbor High School, which Taylor attends. A Gig Harbor police officer sat in on the conversation, she said.

While the four people talked, Taylor’s and Andrea’s phones, which were switched off, sat on a table. While mother and daughter spoke, Taylor’s phone switched on and sent a text message to her mother’s phone, Andrea said.

The Kuykendalls and Prices report similar experiences. Richard Price, Darcy’s husband, is a 26-year military officer, assigned to McChord Air Force Base. On a recent trip to the base, the stalkers sent him a message.

“McChord needs us,” the voice said.

Mari Manley, 16, one of Courtney’s close friends, is another victim of the harassment. She tried to avoid the calls by ignoring her phone. Late one night, she heard the phone making an unfamiliar noise. Her ringtone had changed.

“Answer your phone,” a guttural voice said. Manley saved the ringtone, and played it during an interview Tuesday.

The families and their friends have adopted a new routine: They block the cameras on their phones with tape. They take out the batteries to stop the calls. The Prices and Kuykendalls returned all their corrupted phones to their wireless company and replaced them with new ones. The threatening messages kept coming.

Fircrest Police Chief John Cheesman is familiar with the case and knows the families. His department is working the case with the Tacoma Police Department and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, he said. The agencies filed a search warrant for the phone records, but they didn’t reveal much. Many of the calls and text messages trace back to Courtney’s phone, which the family believes has been electronically hijacked.

Cell phone technology allows remote monitoring of calls, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Known as a “roving bug,” it works whether a phone is on or off. FBI agents tracking organized crime have used it to monitor meetings among mobsters. Global positioning systems, installed in many cell phones, also make it possible to pinpoint a phone’s location within a few feet.

According to James M. Atkinson, a Massachusetts-based expert in counterintelligence who has advised the U.S. Congress on security issues, it’s not that hard to take remote control of a wireless phone. “You do not have to have a strong technical background for someone to do this,” he said Tuesday. “They probably have a technically gifted kid who probably is in their neighborhood.”

Courtney Kuykendall says she has no idea who the stalkers are, though she knows police are suspicious. She believes someone followed her at school – a man in a hooded sweatshirt with a beard.

“They’re accusing my daughter of threatening her own family,” Heather Kuykendall said.

“Why would I do that?” Courtney said. “Why would I do that to people I care about? Why would I harass my own family?”

Existence of God Pt.III

 You won't hear the following in many many churches. Why not? Find out for yourself. Educate yourself, and you might start praising Jason. The following has facts backing their claims.Each of the links are only a few minutes long.

I'm not trying to preach ideas down people's throats, but trying to expand the options a little. No one is forcing a gun to your head. It's well worth the time taken.

I learned a few things in the links which I even wasn't aware of. Very interesting.

Nice Vacation

Nice Vacation

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away.

The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

Richard Dawkins, Existence of God Pt. II

I present you with the following story.

A man is praying at his bedside, while an angel appears. The angel says that he will lead the man to a place in upstate New York, by a hill, where the man will find under ground, a book, and that there are 2 stone wheels next to the book which the decoding information is embbeded, will enable the man to decipher the words in the book.

After deciphering the book with those two wheels, the angel takes the wheels away with him.

The translation reads that millions of Jews (after jesus' original death 2000 years ago), lived in upstate New York, built a great city, with armies fighting each other, and that Jesus came to visit them during this tribulation.

Do you believe what I just wrote? Of course not. Why? Because first, we know that Jews didn't live in upstate New York a thousand or so years ago. We have no proof of any debris left over from that civilization.

Well...it might sound rediculous to you and me, right?...But just ask any Mormon, and I'll bet they'll spend 4 hours explaing in detail about that event. I know...My sister was a Mormon, and went on a misiion for almost 2 years...

Imagine a bubble with the Mormon religion on the inside of that bubble. Next imagine christians outside the bubble looking at the Mormons on the inside of the bubble as lunatics. Do you see where I'm going with this? 

Next we have a story about an Arab who was praying and an angel revealing himself to him. The mans's name was Mohamad. The angel was Gabriel. Gabriel supposedly created a magical horse, and flew him to heaven. Spiritual guides acting as scribes wrote down everything in a book we all know as the Qur'an. Martyrs are taught that if they act out as such, by giving their lives up in the name of God, they will receive 72 virgins in heaven as a reward.

Now put the muslims in a bubble. Imagine all those Mormons, christians, Jews, look at the inhabitants within the bubble thinking they must be crazy people to believe in those myths.72 virgins? Magical horses? C'mon...they're nuts!

If you were in Denmark back in the Viking days, you might be adorning Thor with his hammer. Or if you were born in Africa, you would believe in the Ju JU that lives on the mountain.

Someone asked me, well....what if you're wrong?

My reply was that, what if you're wrong about the JU JU that lives on top of that mountain?

I think myself as more of an Agnostic, hoping that there is a God, but having no evidence.

More rantings to come from a blog i'm on...LOL

BTW! Enjoy the following video...Very objective this Oxford Professer, Richard Dawkins. Even though his title is portrayed as an Athiest, he has in many occasions stated that he is really an Agnostic, because a fair minded scientist will always leave room for doubt. Honesty is important, contrary to religion, which they make  known widely, that they have the end all to the truth.

The existence of God!

I have some basic questions that i hope somebody can answer.

How can the universe be only about 6 thousand years old, when it takes billions of light years for the light from those galaxies to reach our eyes?

Second question: Why would god give us a tool called brains, in order to think, rationalize, interpret, invent, build monumental structures, fly to the moon, create economical systems, televise, computerize, and on, yet, when it comes to examining our existence, it's all of a sudden taboo. Yeah! you can be analytical about everything else, but not the most important thing of all....your existence...yeah....just believe..don't use your brain in this area. C'mon!

Next question: How can god create a universe that has no end? If I show you a coffee cup, it's a done deal. You can't say that about empty, endless space. The job can never be done. Please explain...Thanx.

How can God blame Adam for eating of the apple, when Adam , at that point had no knowledge of good and evil? Until he ate of the fruit, is when his eyes were opened. It's like blaming a caveman for not knowing how to turn the light on in a room by just flicking the switch. Ignorance can't be used as a justification of wrong doing. Please explain> Thanx.

Next question: There are, and have been countless religions who've  proclaimed that they are the true path to the ultimate truth. Countless, from worshipping the planet saturn, to worshipping the sun itself. They all can't be right. The muslims think the christians are wrong, and vice versa. Do the same with all others. It's endless.

It's inate in all of us to find order among chaos. To have societies that function as normally as possible.

There have been many studies done on randomness. Creationists believe that everything is fixed. Agnostics and athiests believe that given enough time, inanimate objects will produce amino acids, the basic building blocks of life, to emerge. It's always been this way. Why do people need a confirmation for any reason for a creator? Why can't it been this way all along, and that we just happened to of been sprouted, born, unto this, that has been here all along. Why does there have to be any reason in the first place, not just for humans, but all of it?

Thousands of years ago, people didn't have the tools of modern science at their disposal, so they explained away the mysteries they couldn't understand, by implementing that a higher force was responsible. These days with the advent of updated scientific knowledge, pretty much all of those misunderstandings can be easily explained, which is another point of mis-guided information of yore.

 A good example is where in the bible it was said that the moon hangeth upon nothing, meaning that they couldn't understand how such a large object in the sky was being supported with no strings attached to something. They weren't aware of the lack of gravity in space, where an object can float. Again, mis-understanding. I can go on and on, but will spare you all.

Will be writing more about this, as a multi-part essay coming soon to a blog near you...LOL
