Endangered Wildlife
from Marianne on 07/06/2015 09:56 AMHello to all!
I was just reminded again of one of the most endangered macaw species, the Spix's macaw:

ReplyA Joke: The Parrot
from Marianne on 07/06/2015 09:31 AMThe Parrot
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's' mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
This joke is one of the jewels found on-line, and the picture of the Hyacinth macaw too.

Re: Criminal Shoots Cop – Friend Defends Action saying “He ain’t do no Wrong – He just Shot a Cop” : By Onan Coca
from Marianne on 06/30/2015 05:09 PMI would like to say that we hear often similar, very offensive comments and criticisms about the police and related security services, and such comments are, sadly enough, too frequent ... We are not in a country controlled by a ruthless "Tonton Macoute" unit under the dictatorship of "Papa Doc" (Duvalier) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonton_Macoute
In many cases, those denigrating systematically whole professional groups are rarely wearing their shoes - and who, under such circumstances, would remember, for instance, the police officer who gave shoes to a homeless?

It is amazing that statistics about officers killed in the line of duty are lacking for many countries ...

I think that one death is one death too much ...
