Cash in on the Gaming Industry without Buying Stocks in Nintendo

Pages 1  2

I think it's important that we check out how the gaming industry has changed our lives and will continue changing our lives. The thing is that even mobile apps and google is not paying us for promoting and playing their games. But there is a way to start earning from mobile gaming like you had shares in the likes of a Nintendo.

The Network Marketing Arena has a new niche here for us. It's Gameloot Network (GLN).
I am Khaliel Howell, an ever learning internet marketer and when I saw Game Loot's opportunity I had to check it out. And yes although I am giving some what of a review of Game Loot Network I am a member but I am very unbiased in my views. I call a spade a spade. If it's worth anything, I am an Aries. I won't even tell you to sign on my team. LoL

This new company is promising and as the first of its kind in the gaming niche It can be very profitable for early opt-ins.

GLN Background

Game Loot Network was pre-launched in May 2015 as a mobile gaming Mulit-Level Marketing (MLM) company. They offer games for smart phones and tablets, which is quite revolutionary and pretty cool. I have tried their games and I enjoyed some of them, others are just not type. However, GLN offers affiliates access to a mobile gaming platform they call “The Fun Zone”.
Company Correspondence have the companies headquarters at Game Loot Network - 4120 NE Port Drive - Lee’s Summit, MO 64064

The founder Lance Baker sounds to be a very driven guy. He is also the author of the book 'Game Loot', placed on the market in March 2015.
From videos featuring Lance Baker I get the sense that he is also focused on building this mlm system to last. In fact, the compensation plan was revised in June 2016 chiefly because it did not focus on retail sales. He wants it to be kept as far away as possible from 'ponzy scheme title.

GLN can be accessed FREE and by using paid tokens.

The Product

You have to be careful of how marketers present the GLN product to you. Because that item might be lost in transition. Anyway, GLN product is not the games. The tokens are! The token packs are the items in the shop. The games are FREE.

On the matter of free, the free games are also Ad-free. And we want to keep it that way. The accompanying marketing system of GLN is what will keep it ad-free so as the game lists grow you can be assured they will be ad-free.

The Fun Zone currently has 8 games, featuring a candy crush rival, Frozen Treat Frenzy. At the moment of writing this post, The games are working but lack some features gamers are used to in other games. For example, Facebook sharing is not available for Frozen Treat Frenzy. The option is there but yields no result. I will be make sure I try it out everyday and let you guys know when it is ready. GLN support team is very responsive and they assured me that their app development team will be working on it.


Network marketing like any business represents a redistribution of wealth- exchange of something of value for cash. And here in GLN it is about giving you something u value for your cash. On the product side GLN gives you tokens at a cost so you can spend time doing what you do already. That is my way of life these days. I even get paid to take public Transport!

Ok. Let's not digress

Patriotic Jamaicans?

May be, just may be many of us Jamaicans think of ourselves as patriotic. But I question that number of patriotic Jamaicans when I look at the line at the US embassy on Old Hope Road. After 54 years of national pride I wish more Jamaicans could express their patriotism economically and not only emotionally on Independence Day. I don't think It's fair to ask persons to show patriotism when they don't own any land or even a stock unit of a Jamaican company. I wish more Jamaicans were 'financially independent' like what the country should be. If this JamRock, culture and language are our commonalties, I just feel more Jamaicans should be individually and collectively profiting from the assets of the land in some shape or form.  I don't think I am patriotic and I own pieces of Jamican companies (and very soon lands). A matter of fact, I know I am not patriotic.

Patriotism, according to Dictionary.com, is defined as

devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.

Being a patriot may also entail defending your country's interests. Would I defend Jamaica's Interests? I don't think Jamaica's politicians have done a very good job at that over the years since our independence. The loyalty and support for even my high school was very low compared to that of my colleagues. So since leaving high school, loyalty to country has been thoroughly considered.

Loyalty to country is a very misunderstood term. Some of us define country way different from the ruling minority. And the ruling minority I draw attention to is not only the 'high colour' ones we have grown accustomed to 'cussing' out, but also the 'never si come si' african descendants who have 'climbed the ladder' to riches and leadership. In light of the Olympics in Rio, which is one more proof how a country can betray its people and then turn around asking for support from the betrayed, I must say that the peak of Jamican patriotism will be portrayed and spoke of from August 6, till about a week after the ending of the olympics. So looking at a few definitions of the word country, I realized that I may have a little hope of some common sense in the little brain of mine. The common definition for country, or the definition which I believe 90% of Jamaicans actually mean when they speak, is one related to a nation. According to Oxford Dictionaries, a nation is

a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory

Therefore, we define a country simply as the people of a district, state, or nation.
Other definitions include:

1. an area of land that has its own government, army, etc.
2. the land of a person's birth, residence, or citizens; a political state or nation or its territory

If we look at Jamaica's political system and the distrust the populace show in the government as well as governance of the people of the land, we can very much define the country as the voting public and the politicians.

However, with olympics in the air, we get a different feel of what and where is the country of Jamaica. When Bolt runs that 100m final we will say he is running for Jamaica. Even bolt will say he is running for Jamaica. But with fairness I relieve him of that task which is not a reality. Bolt runs because he wants to run. Bolt runs because he gets paid to run. Bolt runs because he gets paid to do something he loves to do and no one else does it as well as he does it. Bolt running for his country and defending his country's interests in Track and Field is secondary to his pay check.

You see, I question patriotism or loyalty to any cause because many persons make it a requirement for social acceptance, when this really doesn't have to be. It is the unrealistic country before self connotation, those in leadership require from we the 'sheep' of Jamaica, that I want to dispell. I say I am not patriotic because I know that given information and incentives for my benefit I will make decisions to progress myself first before benefitting my country. Anything I am loyal to, is just because I want to be loyal to it. Better said, I see and recieve benefit from being loyal to that cause.

I recently, heard of a Utech lecturer telling his students how everytime he saw a Carib Cement Truck passing he would stop his car get out and cheer on the driver. He told his students he did that because he knows that driver is helping Carib Cement to make his money work for him. Tears of joy fill his eyes and heart everytime he speaks of the Carib Cement massive share price increase he reaped a couple years a back. He showed interest in Carib Cement with his life savings (struggled to make ends meet for a while) and the Company paid him back with interest after a few years. Now he defends Carib Cement's interests. I will never die for my country because my country will never die for me. That is a cold hard fact- the physical land will never die for me, neither would the people. If I may, I can even question what will my country do for me, after I have done for it.

Naturally, humans are selfish for survival and only seem to be kind to others when they fully or start understanding that it is essential to survival or self preservation to LOOK OUT FOR OTHERS. As soon as one starts to expand his perception of self to include others his loyalty to himself will be beneficial to the group of people he is a part of. The group will eventually grow to the majority's view of a country. All our sports men and women, including embattled Chris Gayle and the 'Pocket Rocket', Shelly-Ann, (to name a few more of our wealthier athletes) perform on the world stage for their survival and advancement. They are Jamaican athletes/ sports persons because they were born in Jamaica. They represent other Jamaicans because they were born and raised in Jamaica like the rest of Jamaicans. Some Jamaican athletes 'rep' for us because they have Jamiacan heritage. Sometimes only one of their parents are Jamaicans. Its on that note, that I don't want anyone to ask me about my patriotism when they don't see me in my black, green and gold clad on JA's Independence Day. Yes. Don't beat around bush. Ask me "if I am loyal to you?"

The People's Interview

I would like our politicians to know that they are employed by the people.

 

There are ways and times for politicians to be interviewed for the job. Anyone who fails to present themselves at the interview does not deserve the job that we the people are offering. An interview is a process of assessment through conversation. And every time a politician speaks he/she is being assessed and re-assessed. However, the initial assessment before the job is the job interview. 

The points of assessment could include: 

1. Press conferences
2. Political rallies
3. Radio interviews
4. Presentation of manifesto
5. Political debates

Well it seems the best example for an interview of our top politicians in our present system of governance is the political debate. If there is no interview the people will not know what or who they are hiring. A debate also gives the people a chance to compare and contrast leadership qualities for the job at hand.

In an interview, the candidate is expected to present what he/she will offer to the job. As to the specific expectations the interviewers want for the job, each person can look for something different and make their decision. The final decision at the polls may be unfair for a candidate but that is life.It is also up to the people if they don't want a debate to interview their political candidates but whatever happens to their 'company' the people should be responsible. The people would be responsible for the poor performance of the 'company' because they are the owners of the company who did not exercise due diligence in the selection process of the right politician, a shareholder and manager charged with properly 'running the company'.

So after the interviews it's time for the people to make a decision. May be it is better to say voting public because so much of the Jamaicans have lost faith or didn't have any in the political process. A friend even asked me since week, "why am I not going to vote?" I simply answered that the present system of governance doesn't make sense to me. The philosophy of ruling with a government and with an opposition (aka counter government) is counter intuitive to progress. Our hard earned tax dollars are being used to pay some people to oppose an idea instead properly brainstorming problems.

After further thought of my answer I also saw that our present system is not according to the natural decision making dilemma and process- People need more options for leaders. Our current system presents the voting public with only two options and makes it difficult for the introduction of independent candidates to work outside the agendas of the two major political parties.

The current system also doesn't leave the responsibility of choosing leaders with the people. As in the recent cases of the removal of Damion Crawford and Raymond Pryce as candidates for their respective constituencies. Our present democracy has even proven to be against natural selection. Where leaders are selected from among specific class of the society to represent people who they don't even know. There is only one thing worse than the political representative not knowing the people and that is the people not knowing him/her. 

In the social groups of our neighbours in the animal kingdom, that we consider of lesser estate, their leaders and alpha's rise from among them. Their leaders are groomed and tested to prove themselves worthy to lead the group to 'the fertile plains'. What kind of system is this we govern ourselves by, where leaders do not have to prove themselves strong enough, smart enough or cunning enough to lead and protect the society? Is mankind going backwards? Do we even know that socializing is not only partying?

When all is said and done though, the interview of politicians by the people will not be effective if the people are not able to hold their candidates accountable for not fulfilling the promise made in the 'interview process'. And most importantly, if the public is not looking for specific skills a candidate should have to be the leader of the country we don't need any debate. We could just accept any and everyone or 'jus lef whosoever in de already and mek dem step up d "progress".' We all have something or a list of attributes we look for in a leader.

General things I look for in the job interview for a leadership post:

1. A track record of integrity
2. Influence
3. Recommendation of the candidate
4. How they plan to fulfill the job description.

What would you want to see in the leader of your country?

The Amway Manipulation

Amway is one of the MLM companies' payment structure I use to get paid for consuming products beneficial to my health and the safety of my environment. At least so I believe. Earning foreign exchange in this format is not only a +1 for me, but very useful for my country.

With more Jamaicans earning US currency in this way can help stem the devaluing of the Jamaican dollar. The present FXrate would decrease because the local banks' demand for the US dollars for US/JA trading would decrease. Persons earning through MLM structures would be pumping US$ into savings and investment accounts providing the banks with currency they would be able to sell.

Supply and Demand for Currencies

Our ($JA) dollar is devaluing against the USD (green back) because Jamaica is earning too little USD. Most transactions Jamaica does on the international market like when the government is buying foreign products or services are done in USD. So to get the USD needed to buy the stuff the country wants 'needs' the Jamaican dollar has to be used to purchase USD.

All the time our dollar was devaluing was because some fat cat saw that we really needed the US dollar and couldn't get it anywhere else so he raised the price of it so he made a profit on the price he bought it for from someone else.

Business Assessment

However, the consumption side of the MLM market means Jamaican IBO's have to give up JA dollars initially for goods (AMWAY-US made products). As the profits of my Internet and MLM business grow the more I will be able to use US dollars to buy US goods. You see manipulating Amway is all about using consumer habits to earn for me. It's almost like buying my own products from myself. But it is really circulating funds within your business until the business profits increase.

The first 6 months of my business I tried to maximize the benefits of Amway's Fast Track Program (FSP). In my opinion I failed though. The reason for the failure was the lack of insight and the level of my income (from my salary). It was after I mocked up an excel sheet I realised I could make more than what I made, without trying to actually selling products to anyone.

And I am no expert salesman but I tried to learn sales. I found most sales techniques and philosophies (especially those taught by my up-lines) repulsive and unnatural. When I used them some worked but they made me feel sleezy and awkward. Most times I could feel the tension between me and my customers. Luckily I had a little charisma that could temper the tension to still get the sale. Yeah up-lines told me about expecting the 'NO's' and being discouraged by them; but man were they plenty. I was discouraged of course but the discouragement made me determined to find a better way. Hence the excel sheet for my business activity was 1 step closer to finding the better way.

Amway Manipulation

Well you see, I am not only in a MLM business to make money because I have had it hard all my life and want an economic break. I am definitely not doing it because I am desperate and want a 'buss'. I am in the business to vary and expand my income streams. Then  we should consider the fact that I don't want to have more money solely because of greed, but I have a vision of the bigger picture of how my riches and philosophy can help my country's economy and ultimately, the world. Many say that I love money too much. But I don't. I simply Love how I make others feel when I can help and in the present system mankind had developed I can best help with money. In essence I love the things I can do with money.

After 6 months in the business at the 3% earning bracket I spent approx. J$200,000 (US$1640) and only earned 10-15% of that. Now, Amway has the potential to make me earn way more than that. And I know I have the potential to double the earnings potential Amway has for myself. So since I am now an 'Amway 3% guru' and the only person in my network (no active downlines) I decided it's time to go to the next level. I now needed to sponsor a downline and reach at least the 6% bracket.

It is possible to be spending US$500 inclusive of product cost and shipping to Jamaica and earning  50% of that cost, monthly; with your IBO account, a registered customer account and yes at the 3% bracket. All that is needed is to find the right purchasing mix of IBO and customer pricing while buying what you need or a family member needs/ wants. Such a purchasing mix will help you take full advantage of the fast track bonuses in your first 6 months.

Operating your Amway business at 3% and without any active downline, really means you, the IBO, should make the most of the cost recovery opportunity. The return on investment won't chip in until at least 3 downlines are active in your business at basic level. As stated earlier it is possible to get a rate of return on your investment in Amway of a around 50% even at the first earning level (3% bonus level).

Each network marketing opportunity can be broken down to basics and then manipulated to earn for you. If network marketing is not for you though, then it is just not for. And you will not benefit through the different marketing strategies network marketers use, simply because you won't dedicate to using your natural marketing skills or gaining these skills by learning. And yes some persons are natural marketers. Marketers must have a skill to connect with persons (whether online or offline).

Don't get it twisted though, anyone and everyone can be apart of a MLM program and benefit in some way shape or form. Not because you join a multilevel network marketing company means that you are a practicing network marketer. But depending on the payment structure, support team and uplines you have you may not even have to do any work, not to mention recruiting in order earn. But the true spirit of network marketing is having all members working their way to their wealth.

Educating the Cycle of Poverty

The formal education system is the chief reason for the cycle of poverty faced over the world.Our schools do not teach about money management. They teach information for servitude though. Work hard on your education and then get a job that fits your education or training to get paid for your knowledge. 

School generally teaches you to think in a box where you are working for someone and always working for money.

Because of how (and what) students generally learn about money. Very often, even those society considers to be decently or well paid, subconsciously 'chase the dough'. Chasing after money instead of making it chase you is bound to leave you broke most of the time. Chasing money also leads to immoral decisions and unfair practices. Then the mismanagement of money due to the lack of knowledge, a vital ingredient in the recipe for poverty sends them on a slippery slope to make them poor. 

The society's understanding of the definition for wealth is one way I prove to myself that school doesn't understand money and is only setting up the succeeding generation to poorly manage their finance. Investopedia defines wealth as a measure of the value of all of the assets of worth owned by a person, community, company or country. Robert Kiyosaki gives the definition of wealth as the number of days you can survive without physically working (or anyone in your household physically working) and still maintain your standard of living. Investopedia's definition and many other dictionary definitions of wealth, persons get it twisted and think that being wealthy and rich are the same. Therefore, poverty is not being able to survive a single day without your source of income. Even if you are well paid, mismanagement of your funds can make you poor. How and Why? Because although persons' flashy car and big house lie, money doesn't lie; your life's balance sheet never lies.

Well, by the time you start working, you realize your expenses catching up on you. Some persons start working for way less than they deserve hoping to progress up the ladder. In government these steps up the ladder are encouraged but the time to get even your first step sometimes is frustrating. When they do get the training to upgrade their post, the pay increase does not match the level of work required. And to make matters worse the taxation system employed is counter intuitive to the 'reward' of a raise in pay.

Because the tax calculation involves taxing above a threshold and the difference of your statutory income and the income threshold, the greater your salary the more taxes you pay. Unless you are a government minister or recognized official you may not get certain benefits in living expenses to counter the increased taxes. -We should also check if certain persons get legal income tax exemptions.

Sadly the teachers teaching the children were brought up in the same system and only can teach what they know. Because that is what they live. Today hardly any high school student, would want to be a teacher simply because teachers' workload do not match up with their pay. I recently drove past one of my past high school teachers at the bus stop and the cruel criticism of "him still a tek bus" popped up in my head. I simply hope my teachers who may seem not to be living comfortably as others would want are saving for 'the rainy'.

In addition, while reading the newspaper today, I saw a question in the Ask The Doc section of the Gleaner January 5, 2015. Question reads, 

"I see my students who I taught in high school and college living better lives, financially, than I am. How is that fair? I feel so frustrated at times."

 http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lifestyle/20160105/ask-doc-confused-about-my-priorities

For a teacher to feel this way it shows how the system we have set for ourselves is unfair. At this point I want you to know that the system can be changed. It is also important to note that life is not unfair. The way mankind lives life may be unfair.

So God bless those who are breaking free and have broken free from the system. We have made it our duty to re-educate ourselves differently from how school has taught us.

The Parable of The Talents

 Matthew 25:14-30King James Version (KJV)

Now the talents in the parable are referring to money. The lord was leaving and expected his servants to go and trade up his talents and earn interest on the principal. The servant who did not earn any interest was given the money but the story did not tell us that he was given the tools or teaching to go and earn. However, the only fair assumption is that all servants were taught how to gain on an investment. That to me is the only way the lord leaving for a far country could be vexed with the servant who got 1 talent.

But the story explicitly stated that all the servants were not equal in ability hence the lord gave them money accordingly. Therefore, the servant with 1 talent was called unprofitable because the lord was sure that with his ability, he could earn at least 50% on his investment.

To add insult to injury, the unprofitable servant showed the lord that he was actually learning from the lord but chose not to act on what he was learning. Can you blame the lord for wanting interest on his money while he was going on vacation ( well, just saying); I think the reason he would be so vexed is because he could have taken the money and multiplied it instead of giving the unprofitable servant. One can only be disappointed when an expectation is not met.

This parable showed me that the magic of the financial system is even older than i thought, perhaps ancient. I now say that each of us should be using this magic to our advantage. Making money even in our sleep. Just like how the lord of the servants wanted to be making money while he was away in a far country (on vacation).

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jamaican Engineering in Business and the Costumer's Experience

Jamaica may not be a country you think about when you say engineering but it has its fair share of engineering feats. Jamaica boasts being the first Caribbean country to have electricity and running water. I can a bit further by saying that Jamaica even had light and water before United Sates of America. St. Elizabeth was the first parish in Jamaica to get Electricity, in 1893. St. Elizabeth, my parents' home parish, even had telephones 10 years after it was invented by Alexander G. Bell. Implementation of these mentioned infrastructure was to satisfy a need and solve a problem people faced, hence an engineer or group of engineers solved a problem. The engineers in 17th -19th century Jamaica, were predominantly English. The colonizers of Jamaica managed the Jamaican resource to their benefit but left a legacy of engineering development for Jamaica and Jamaicans to learn from. In my opinion the greatest engineering legacy in Jamaica was the railroading network the English established. A legacy it is indeed. So much that it seems to be a legend to most of those in my age group. Many don't even know that Jamaica had a railroading network opened to transport before U.S.A, dating from 1845.

Engineering in Jamaica has never gotten the highlight it truly deserved. For example, if a road is being built here, its not advertised via 'word o' mouth' as an engineering construction. Its just, 'dem a build a road'. The intricacies in some of our civil works are rarely eye catching due to the numerous shabby work done by cheap and greedy so called engineers. The Portmore leg of the Toll Road, for example, I assume many Portmore residence have forgotten the special construction this road got. When the road material was being laid they saw foam being placed in the ground, may be the first many was seeing this being done. And so the reason eluded them. This was because the area by the cause way is a wet land, (was a  swamp- now dumped up land). Heavy compaction of aggregate or regular construction material would prevent the regular flow of water in and out the coast. So after a short while all that expensive work would need to be repeated or wasted. Because after the land gets waterlogged the water would have to find some way out. The nice, pretty road would deteriorate fast.

With this article, I want to present what engineering looks like in Jamaica today with the examples of three well-known Jamaican companies involved in engineering. These companies manage a resource vital to Jamaicans and have been around for more than a decade. I want to focus on the efficacy of their respective managers in improving the organization. The companies will be assessed on their technological improvement, improvement in customer service and customers' perception of the company. Improvement in the companies technology and infrastructure is directly link to engineering skills but the effectiveness of its managers can only be measured by how beneficial these advances are to the customers.

So the three companies are:

1. Jamaica Public Service (JPS)
2. Lime/ Flow
3. National Water Commission

Free Help for Smart IBO's and Network Marketers

For those interested in building any business online or who just want to make some extra cash while using the internet, there are some essential tools for your business. It is very likely that if you don't have these tools you are going to struggle in your business or worst, starve your clients and followers of the value you could be adding to them. Some of these tools have a cost and some due to the good will of others who have struggled in online businesses themselves, are FREE. With this post I want to share one of those free business changing tools.

It was a bit hard to find a good free auto responder, especially when you don't know what to look for at the beginning. First I was discouraged by only seeing the paid one's but I continued and soon I found some not so good ones. Then something I could work with. Had to watch a few videos on other network marketers' squeeze page to get to where I wanted to be, but it was worth it. In recent times of network marketing and affiliate marketing, 'squeeze pages' have become more available to its users. I don't think there is anyone using the internet who has never landed on a squeeze/ capture page/ landing page. Capture pages attract persons to your business and/ or opportunity and allows them to leave their contact with you if they are interested. I say that, to say that the tools you need for your business are for the purposes of attracting persons to you then allowing you to give them value effectively.

The tools for your business are:

1. Email System (your best professional email)
2. Contact Management System
3. Website/ blog
4. Auto-responder System

I want to highlight Auto-responders. But before I do so I must say that a contact management system may have all the other tools in a well organized package that may even allow you with ways to monitor and track the efficiency of your maketing strategies. Hence you can select your most effective.

Auto Responders

Well auto-responders or email auto responder is a program that automatically answers emails sent to the computer using it. An auto responder is apart of email marketing. Today, some provide this service through a web account, so you do not need a software installed on your computer to take advantage of it. So the free one I am using as of the date of the post is listwire. The banner below says it all about listwire.


The introduction video on their web page will give more insight. But all in all this auto responder from listwire is worth its 'freeness'.  Feel free to follow the banner link above to view website.

Its a Nice Package 

List wire offers a bit more than the auto responder. I can track my lead's subscription and delivery success of messages. Its contact management has simple database features but easily managed user interface. Many more features available, but i'll leave you to discover them on your own for now.

If you are serious about your business but a bit strapped for cash in the early stages of your 'Biz', listwire is the way to go and grow.

How to Change a Corrupt Government

Here in Jamaica we are back in election season-once again. I do not vote because I don't believe in 'giving away my rights and power to those who don't care about me.' Jamaica's successive governments and its leaders have achieved some good for the country but for the most part, in my opinion (facts unearthed might sway my decision) governments have failed the people's expectations time and time again. There has been some good work done in Education, Transportation, Construction and Mining and Agriculture. But Security and Justice is very hard to manage; it would seem. Unlike the minister of security, I see this crime problem Jamaica faces not as something that grossly needs divine intervention but an opportunity to prove to the divine that with His help we can solve the scourge of crime and violence.

GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD?

Solving Crime Pays but not as much as crime itself. Bribery is many persons get out of 'jail free card.' It's Not Really Free though. No one gets out jail free. A price is paid for every decision. Whether in time or money; whether in emotions or deferred favour; something is paid; a transaction occurs. Hence, corruption is bred at the end of a crime cycle. By the crime cycle, I mean how an activity seen as breaking the law is started and finished. This cycle is started most times by a selfish greed but also by a genuine want or need. Then the crime cycle is ended by the reward or punishment of the activity. Is corruption providing that opportunity to reward criminals? Is corruption preventing the punishment of criminals?

Why do homosexuals get such a hard time? What's wrong with being 'Gay'?

So watching TV for a little bit one Monday evening I saw a rebroadcast of CVM's Onstage with a clip of 'Barbee' being interviewed in which she said she did a song that did not speak about her but of another person who found love in a same sex relationship. The only thing that came to my mind at that time was bull... You know the rest.

But who cares right? She thinks its okay.

Not considering any other social media, Facebook has been teeming with homosexual right vs wrong commentary, in light of the US supreme court ruling on gay marriage. The Sunday before that Monday evening I saw where persons called TD Jakes a sell out because he spoke about the issue and sounded pro LGBT. Then the following Tuesday morning I felt like buying small fire in Cashpot, after seeing 2 females; kill me dead they were lesbians and if both weren't, one was. (experience has trained me over the years to have a special skill in pin pointing lesbians).

Why so Fussy?

So after hearing the hullabaloo about TD Jakes on FB I decided  to hear the comments straight from the horse's mouth. And I must say that I agree with what he says. I don't have time be worried about what gays are doing to try to be equals and normalize their behaviour. He didn't sell out he just didn't say gays should be burned at the stake like most of us would all want to see. I personally think if there should be a whopping of a church pastor though, Joel Osteen should get that. This man skirted around some very straight forward questions and then clumsily explained his stance.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ4PncKMTEw

Unlike these pastors I can categorically say that I am 100% against same sex sexual unions (same sex marriages). I don't see the sense in these types of relationships. But as well thinking human beings we should be careful of what we fight against and how we fight against it. I'll just quote Newton's third law of motion, 
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." 
You pick out your sense out of that. That is what I would add to Mr. Jakes' sermon.

Lettuce Gays Bacon and Tomatoes

Again I ask, what is wrong with being LGBT? But you guys don't have to answer, I know what's wrong with them. And no its not wrong because God said its wrong or the bible reads thou shall not be gay ( just paraphrasing). Instead homosexuality is wrong because mankind has made it wrong. We do not want it.



 
Now that is answered let's see how I assess wrong or right in phenomena, events or situations.- I weigh the pro's and the cons. Then I maximize the pro's or the cons and visualize the effects of these maximized benefits/ disadvantages to the best of my experience and practical imagination.  And finally I check the majority view on the subject.-
Therefore, homosexuality is dangerous, not only wrong. Because if everyone was gay and truly gay, civilization would end. Mankind would cease to exist after a good amount of years. As much as it is said that persons are selfish, each person generally does what is best for their survival and the survival of those they have grown to build a relationship with. Simply put, each person looks out for them self and their loved ones. 

I believe children are a result of actions to extend the life of its parents' ideologies. From my perception of a social group of the human species, at its basic 'animalistic' level, procreation serves as a protection of the aging parents in the group. So it is safe to say we are born with good intentions- Protect the family. May be only the bi-sexual could escape the charge of being an enemy of the society; enemy by reducing our 'defenses'. Based on sociological evidence, Psalm 51:5, I was born in sin..., is not applicable. A matter of fact Christians pro porting this scripture as literal are definitely not aware of the levels of credence they are giving the LGBT community. For further clarity, (using mathematical substitution)

• being a lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender = SIN, 
• then born in sin and perhaps shapen in iniquity (although perhaps the iniquity part could mean what you learn as you grow older) = man is born a sinner = mankind are born to be gay (just choosing this sin out of the other sins to bring home the point)
• Therefore, many persons agree that lesbians and gays were born that way and don't even know that they are agreeing to such a lie they fight against.
• Then assuming gays were born that way, how can God now punish them for something he put them on this earth to do? And, how can others, like myself, question their purpose?

So I repeat, from a person is born their instinct is to protect the social group and hence 'fitting in' with the basic values and core beliefs of the society is the key duplication. Hence, be fruitful and multiply is our natural way of progressing and bettering mankind. Even how we learn at the baby stage is evidence of how we are looking towards the continuation of life. At the early stages of life we learn mainly by replication, copy cat, monkey see monkey do. So with homosexuality there will be no natural multiplication of the races.

Homosexuality is simply the destruction of the human race. It is as dangerous as cancer and devastating as that nuclear bomb in hiroshima. Certainly it won't kill us now; but over time its effects compound like the interest on my savings and investment.-The principle of compound interest affects both good and bad actions. The idea of a non-reproductive union between 2 humans is not good for the race. The less persons on the planet = less money. Hence economically homosexuality is wrong.

Selfish People

I think the ideals of gay people are selfish. And by now you must know I am not talking about happy people. May be gays and lesbians are happy but I sure know they are mean. And they don't mean well for the survival of the human race. They may be in the richer bracket of our presently modern society, but their wealth in friendship has been drastically hampered by investing in ideals that are counter to the success of the greater population. Therefore no matter how much the LGBT community grows
because we the normal people grow way faster than them, they are always lonely. All of us subconsciously know homosexuality can hamper the progress of the human race; yes homosexuality can easily be seen as a
population control tool, spread by the evil ones in power. But if those power controllers are spreading the LGBT agenda to control the world population they are definitely hurting their earning power and the number of those they have power over. Unlike them I know that real wealth is also in the #of friends you have.

Conclusion

Homosexuality awareness has been growing in the society for the last 2 decades because of many factors. But The Media has been the main driving force. I Don't believe this is a new phenomena but the hype in the media and its explosion in appearances in different TV shows has sure made it seem new. I think I can do a research on the media influence on homosexuality in the society. But for now I can say that even the blind would have seen the change in morals and norms on cable TV. A quick scan of the article, Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Content on Television: A Quantitative Analysis Across Two Seasons, revealed the following excerpt.

Despite the overwhelming heterosexuality of mainstream media representations, portrayals of gay and lesbian individuals on television have become somewhat more common since 1997 when Ellen became the first television show to have a gay leading character. This increase can be seen in the introduction of gay characters on many shows such as Spin City, ER, Dawson's Creek, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as shows that focus on gay characters in leading roles such as Will and Grace and It's All Relative. In addition, cable stations have included shows such as Queer as Folk, Six Feet Under, and Oz that depict gay characters in more complex plot lines and with more explicit sexual behaviors.
