  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    Breaking - Homosexuality Is A Dangerous Lifestyle

    Sometimes SOMEONE has to break the news.

    From their own statistics, homosexuals-only comprise about 1.7% of the population in the US.  Yet the CDC recording demonstrates that merely the MSM deviants were responsible for 70% of the new HIV cases in 2010.

    Second hand infections are suspected to be as a result of the 1.8% who idenitfy as 'bi-sexual' and share relationships between same AND Opposite sexes. (Spreading the 'love')

    The surgeon General's warnings on Cigarettes are clear.

    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy.
    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health.
    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight.
    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide.
    We would like to take an opportunity to offer a couple labels of fact that should be considered in this new health crisis:
    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Homosexuality has been shown to lead to an 8,000-10,000 percent increase in the possibility of contracting HIV/AIDS.
    • SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Second hand sexual activity by Bisexuals who engage in homosexual activity can lead to the spread of disease outside of the Homosexual community.
    There are others which could be added, but sticking with easily understood FACT as presented by the CDC, we feel those two labels, if presented in the same way that the tobacco labels have been, could save countless lives, in ALL communities.

    Families, and our nation's health depends on it.

    Next logical removals would be the 'funny gay' media presentations that act much in the same way as 'Joe Camel' cartoon tobacco advocacy did in the 80s and 90s.

    Stay tuned for updates!

    Government Regulation: A Self-fulfilling Prophecy of Harm

    Many people, mostly through ignorance, believe that government regulation and oversight of virtually every aspect of our lives is required so that shysters don't take our money in ponzi schemes or we aren't subject to the availability of harmful substances.

    After all, the government knows best, right? That's the flawed premise that proponents of government regulation operate on; we aren't smart enough to keep ourselves secure. It's that flawed belief that also leads to a greater threat to our own well being.

    Take the Bernie Madoff scandal for example.

    John Stossel brings up the point that Madoff didn't swindle your average Joe, but rather well educated investors (http://tinyurl.com/bst7l4). The are certainly not dumb people.

    They got lazy though and didn't want to verify the legitimacy of their investments. Why? Probably because the Securities and Exchange Commission had tacitly given its blessing to Madoff by not being in the process of investigating him.

    Read Stossel's column in it's entirety and you'll find out that someone outside of the government actually realized that Madoff was making offers that were too good to be true. The SEC didn't care about his alerts though.

    Governmental regulation and oversight does nothing but provide a false sense of security for those not wiling to practice diligence. In cases where regulation is used in an attempt to thwart fraud, there will always be people that can, and will, get passed it.

    The ironic thing is that the government even acknowledges this in a piece of pending legislation that would give the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products. According to the bill, it would be illegal for statements to be made, either through the media or labeling, that the tobacco products are regulated by the FDA (http://tinyurl.com/cn3m5w).

    There would be no reason at all for the bill to contain this wording, other than that the bill's author realizes that knowledge of product regulation will lead some people to believe that tobacco products are safe.

    So if such holds true for tobacco products, where almost everyone realizes the danger it poses, why would it not hold true for things that a great majority of people wouldn't understand? It's pretty clear that government regulation leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy of harm.
