Is Mozilla Firefox Browser All It Claims To Be?

I have used Firefox browser on an ON and OFF basis for the following reasons.
* Mozilla seem to feel that the more features it puts in it's browser, the cooler it will be.
* Because of the addition of more and more features on that browser, it gets slower and slower to navigate online.
* This I believe is what is causing many traditional users of that browser to seek others.
I find AVANT, FAST BROWSER, ENIGMA, & MAXTHON browsers much faster to use and navigate online. Because they are not constrained with features, most users never use anyway, or remember that they have.
Until Mozilla Firefox designers realize that it is not the features that users want mostly.
It is reliability, SPEED, and quick opening of that browser when we click on it!

Black Youths In Britain Have The Wrong Role Models!
WORD-UP:
BBC announced today that Blacks in Britain have the wrong role models.
And they showed the Rap singer 'Fifty Cents." But the problem lies much deeper that just Rappers influence.
* When a certain class of people find themselves in a situation that seems hopeless economically, politically, and socially. Then the tendency to become anarchists, or anti-establishment begins.
* When single parent families pre-dominate these communities, it harbors the lack of serious Role Models for boys. So most look to their peers, older cronies, the entertainment industry or Rappers, who have been able to transcend this environment economically.
With this visibility seen on TV and Videos, and heard on Music CD's or the Internet. These successful brothers and sisters are perceived as the Role Models for the less fortunate brothers and sisters in the Hood.

When Shit Happens-Escaping Fan May Be Impossible!

Today, the New York City Subway & Bus systems experienced severe stoppages, due to heavy downpours which occurred last night throughout the state. Commuters were faced with NO-GO trains, resulting from flooding on several tracks throughout the five boroughs.
Even the busses were of little help, because most of those who use the Buses, still have to continue their journey via the subway system, to get to work.
When such incidents happen due to inclement weather, and one has to make a pre-arranged job interview at a specific time. It may be one of those days when you would expect your potential employer to understand the situation that all commuters are experiencing, and make provision for lateness. Though there are some individuals who are so rigid in their thinking, that they would expect punctuality, regardless of external and un-avoidable circumstances.
However, as we say here in the USA. "Shit Happens." And sometimes it may be very difficult to escape the debris that the fan is spewing!

Is It A Terrorist Act-Or Is It Accidental?
Today the BBC reported that one of the manufacturers of the Foot & Mouth Disease Vaccines is suspect, for the recent discovery of an infected cow and water canal nearby.
This company came under suspicion by the authorities before when the previous outbreak happened.
So this scenario gave rise to further suspicion about the allegations that it is responsible for this new outbreak.
However, investigations are continuing, and I will keep you posted on developments.

Could A Spirit Or Soul Indulge In Sexual Activity?
The Islamic Jihadists believe that after committing martyrdom, they will ascend to Heaven. And therein be given seventy virgins, and anything their hears desire.
This is the minset of all Jihadists suicide bombers, because they were told this by their Masjid Imams. It is also the motivating factor for them to enlist as suicide bombers too.
However, I wonder where would all these VIRGINS come from. Because finding a VIRGIN on this planet today, requires some diligent searching.
So where would these seventy virgins come from, to accommodate all those hundreds or thousands of Jihadists suicide bombers who may have departed to this heaven already.
It is ironic how these Moslem ,male fanatics could believe in such nonsense. I guess it stems for their collective culture of sexual repression!

George W. Bush Supports A Loose Cannon:
The government in Iraq has absolutely no control or authority whatever. Several assembly members have left the government because of frustration, and too much partisan power control by the Shia majority in government.
The G W. Bush administration is supporting 'A White Elephant' that is running like a loose cannon.
And with no end or destination in sight.
As the billions of US dollars pour into that economy. America, and it's military forces are losing BIG TIME in that lost cause, on a daily basis.

Thousands Of Small Arms Have Gone Missing In Iraq:
WORD-UP:
The G W. Bush administration is unable to account for over 200 thousand small arms, issued to the Iraqi government since the declared war in Iraq was over.
This comes as no surprise to me though, for the following reasons:
* Iraq has a history of gun carrying citizens.
* This stems for the insecurity faced by most or all citizens for their personal and family safety.
* Under Sadam Hussein, the Shia majority was not allowed to carry or own firearms.
* Now that the Shia majority is in power, this new power to own a firearm is being exploited, and also to protect themselves from religious partisan killings.
* Finally, apparently no LOG is kept of all firearms issued to the Police or Security forces. So when a Policeman or Internal Security personnel leaves his shift or job for that day. He is allowed to take home his weapon.
This situation can be serious, if he decides not to continue being a policeman or security officer, and joins the insurgent forces, which seem to be the case!
