You may be asking why is it called a "Vortex Community"?

The Basic Break Down - Let's Just Keep It Simple!
"There Are No Dumb Questions" & "There are No Dumb Answers"
Everyone Can Learn On This Site And On Our Forum's - Let's keep it civil.
"Personal Preferences Are Personal"
Don't harass or threaten other members - Don't like them? Ignore them!
Reasonable Free Speech Is Allowed here.
"You Learn By Discussing Topic's"
We are a "Vortex Community" which means that as we grow more subjects will be added.
"Need Another Discussion Topic?"
Contact the Administration and/or a Moderator - if enough interest is expressed it will be started.
Get your friends to join you and request it.
"Administration Reserves All Rights To Ban Member's"
At this point - the moderator's will also be allowed to ban you. No matter what - I currently support ALL moderator decisions.
They are my hand picked support system and have a specific knowledge worth your support.
"How To Become A Moderator"
I prefer moderator's who are an asset to the topic. You will notice that some moderator's have links to their own internet
presence in the topic they are moderating. Those links are their reward for being a Moderator.
"What Is A Charter Member?"
A Charter member is someone who has been insightful enough to realize what an asset it is to have a "Vortex Community of Forums" and has jumped in before the launch date to be assured as an honored Charter member. Once the launch takes place there will be no new Charter Members added.
"Posting Links To Your Site Will ONLY Be Allowed In The Small Business Section."

Reach Around The Tree To Scratch Your Head ....
well ..... it's coming down the wire to the last few days of spending before the grand finale of the final days of making due with the power, skill, and access of the last few bucks for wrapped stuff.
Yes! it's just stuff. Stuff like the impersonal GIFT CARD for that pain in the neck you can never please - no matter what you get that is reasonably affordable.
I have to wonder "WHY?" are we subjecting ourselves to this typical multiple week madness - just to be done in a few minutes on just one meager winter morning!
I don't know about your house but here it seems as though we have lost the so called traditional warm fuzziness of the holiday spirit.
Sure; we gift each other to death with crap that the others want. We also sit and laugh when we get the kid something that others are going to feel the pressure of "Keeping Up With The Jones's". This is our greatest pleasure!
Like many people; there are those who get totally upset with our appearance of poverty (we don't like their style of bling) and their lack of understanding of how a kid at nine years old could possible have had a $1,200.00 desk top, about a $900.00 laptop, an LCD TV, and almost every game system on the market.
If they could ONLY understand that we are doing this for THEM! We are forcing them to think that since they are so much more better off than us - they have to at least TRY TO KEEP UP with us poor folks.
The hilarity of these people actually attempting to keep up while being unable to keep a poker face when they find out we just out did them again. This nonsense has pushed some over the edge. It has gone so far as to get my son kicked out of a before & after school child care program. The facility owner tried to keep up when we weren't competing yet. When we realized that they had the need to make sure their boy (who was in my sons after school class) had the best of all the kids in the room.
When their effort became apparent, we had to step it up. The boys were into those Nintendo DS Pokémon games. They bought their boy one of the hottest game cartridges. After a few attempts at keeping up I got tired of it. So, with a fist full of money we went out and bought the whole set of the newest and greatest Pokémon games. it was those Ruby, Crystal, Emerald, leaf, or whatever it was!
Well to my amazement we were indirectly forced to leave their facility or they were going to call child services because our son was a danger to himself. They even went so far as to express this so called concern with my boy's elementary school teacher who had to ask us "What are they talking about??"
Well; to bring this around to the point of this blurb.
People are straying away from the warm & fuzzy reason for a gift. Remember when the understanding was that it was all about the thought? There was a time when a gift card was something a lazy person used when they really didn't want to spend time thinking about the RIGHT type of gift for that person on their list.
In this day and age everyone is looking for the latest and greatest cutting edge flash or bling they can get, or they go to the opposite extreme with an impersonal cash card.
What happened to treasured Yo-Yo? What about that beautiful lead crystal rose?
How did we stray away from the appreciation of the real treasures in life like a batch of homemade holiday cookies? I would gladly give up the next 90 and 56 gallon aquarium's (already have one of each!) that should be here this Saturday if my wife were to JUST make some homemade baked treats.
What about you? Has all of this gotten close to what I am living with? Has it gone to the next step towards another impersonal cash removal game?
Isn't it time to put the treasure back into the gift?

ISLAM - We can learn to hate as much as you!
When is enough going to be enough? The poisoned minds of some extremists are infesting social and ethical stability in the world.
They think that the bullshit they are saying is true; like "We Are About .... peace, love, respect, compassion, understanding, and who knows what else!
I personally say they are COWARDS! Not much more than weak minded fools who suck off their Imam's insanity. They have sucked in enough of these Imams noxious fumes to be completely blind to logic. Who in their right mind would believe they will get a shit load of VIRGINS when they die? How is it that in Islam - suicide is good and wasting their life to kill JUST a few people is better than working towards stimulating a world of strength in peace?
What is with these people? If they want to hate me - have enough back bone to hate me IN MY FACE - stop being cowards and hate me behind my back!
This cowardly activity makes you lower than the fleas on a donkey's ass!
I have NO PROBLEM hating them for what their short comings are.
I say: DEATH TO COWARDS!
ON THE OTHER HAND ...............
WE are screwed up too!
We proclaim all this freedom & rights crap while we stuff all the bull down everyone else's throat ....
Come on ... wake up and sniff you shorts ... you crap smells JUST LIKE theirs!
Look at a woman's rights ...
She has a right to be subjected to the rules of her husband as much as you have a right NOT to be.
Some people like that - who are you to tell them how bad it is? It's a personality trait morons! Don't push your style on others!
Look at how Christianity has fallen away from the Scriptures.
HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE:
the first Book of Timothy - chapter 2 - verse 12
it says in the Catholic Bible:
I give no permission for a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. A woman ought to be quiet,
it says in the King James Bible (blue letter bible):
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Yet in many religious schools and some Churches there are WOMEN teaching and even preaching.
Get off your high horse you hypocrites of faith!
Before you attack them ... check your own crap!
