Credit Companies Profiteering

   Posted by: admin    in Money, Straight Talk

Ok is it just me or does everyone hate the fact that we are held ransom by credit card companies. Granted we got ourselves into this debt but to increase percentages just tightens the noose around families struggling to make their payments thus fueling more of the foreclosure market. These companies also share a portion of the responsibility by offering easy money to struggling people. Maybe decreasing credit limits would work better than increasing interest rates. Increasing interest rates is more profiteering on big business part.

Reality Check : I am not against making a profit but profiteering needs to be stamped out of the economy if anything is going to improve. Greed hurts everyone.

If you are ready to begin to fix the broken system and want to regain control of your financial future go to www.mastersmoney.com

Get real with yourself and start spending within your means. It is only then that you will be able to sort out the mess.

Scumbag photo spam marketing technique

   Posted by: admin    in Straight Talk

Ok, I dont know how many of you are aware of this but there are some slimy marketers out there. The latest thing I have noticed in facebook is some people incorrectly tagging people in pictures. The problem is those are not pictures of you or my friends rather it is someone trying to drive traffic to their site using false pretenses.

In some ways I feel it is personally deceptive and disgusting. It was just a matter of time before greedy unscrupulous people would find a way to abuse the system. For goodness sake if your product is not good enough to generate a web buzz, what in the world makes you think I will trust your product or brand when you get me there using trickery. Stop using and abusing my friends to sell your crap.

Reality Check : If you have utilised this underhanded means for your product, Slap yourself someone needs to knock some sense into you and it might as well be you. You are a scumbag for violating friendships with your photo tagging marketing spam. Facebook needs to get tough on these creeps abusing a wonderful system.

AT&T tests limiting subscribers’ Web use

   Posted by: admin    in Straight Talk

Ok, this bugs me.

AT&T tests limits on subscribers’ Web use

I am not in favor of limiting internet usage caps. With the advent of more people using the web to watch different media streams and the emergance of more and more home based businesses capping usage will only hamper the development of such technologies.

Ok I dont use my web for file sharing and the likes but the caps they are talking about are ridiculously low. Comcast at least gives a fair amount of bandwidth usage but ATT seems to want to squeeze its customers for every cent they can. While I agree there are some that abuse the system at least make the caps something that will affect them and not your everyday household user. The limits are so small that customers will now have to guage how many movies they stream from the internet or from sites such as netflix.

While people may say that 20 gig a month is alot now in the next few years with the emrgent technologies coming on the market, most sites going for media rich content and the devlopment of web based office productivity suites I feel we will soon see that the big communication giants fleesing our pockets.

This is going to be a big cash cow for the corporate media giants. Think of it if a company has 4 000 000 consumers and the average consumer goes over their bandwidth allocation by 5 gigs lets say, that is an extra $20 000 000 for the company at ATT proposed $1.00 extra per gig. Good business profiteering.

Maybe they should consider upgrading the network capacity rather than limiting usage, maybe reinvest that money in building better infrastructure to handle the new information demands of the 21st Century.

Reality Check : Restrictions slow down or in some cases kill progress, and to those users abusing the current system stop it!!!

Culture of Life

   Posted by: admin    in Kingdom thinking

Culture of Life

The link above is to a video of a prophetic voice. Innocent blood is being shed daily and the body of Christ is apathetic. It is time for a kingdom revolution. It is time for the body to come in line with the King of Kings. It is time for life to be celebrated.

We are made in the image of God. Get in line with the King of Kings or dont call yourself a christian.

Am I mad? YES. Do I still love you and want the best for you? Yes!!!

Being Christian is not a mental ascent to a set of moral beliefs. It is submitting yourself to the will of a loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit so that He can release his redemption and restoration into the Earth.

FYI – God good devil bad. KISS – Keep It Simple Silly.

Stop blaming God for what the devil does. His is the thief who comes to steal kill and destroy. Got it. If anything like that happens then it is his fault, he was behind it.

God wants to prevent such stuff happening, He has only good in store for you but He will not violate your free will. If you join your will to His then Heaven will come to earth. If you join your will to your great wisdom as opposed to the creator of the universe then expect unexpected consequences. Don’t blame God for your choices or the choices of those who don’t follow Him. Look to God to bring his restoration and healing.

Reality Check : Life begins at conception. Dont call yourself christian if your heart mind and spirit dont belong to Him and line up with his word (both Rhema and Logos). It is time for the love revolution, it is time for the culture of life to arise. It is time for the children to enter the promised land and take on the enemies to the purposes of God in the earth.
