Before you read this, please be warned that there is an excessive amount of profanity, vulgar remarks towards other countries, and government officials.

Humanity makes me fucking gag. Seriously, the hypocrites, band wagoners and just plain fucking idiots that roam this planet make me sick to my stomach. All the times people have said that our economy’s in the shits. Well, I fucking wonder why. Let’s see here………

We have a war, oops, I mean a “conflict” that was started for what? Revenge? Oil? Does any one even know anymore, if they ever did. Billions upon billions of dollars from the US Government going over to support troops, not only from our own country, but from others?! We’re paying to train the Iraqi military. We’re forking the bill to keep the NATO forces there.

We’re supporting other countries in times of “need”. You had a hurricane? Alright, here’s our military, a few million dollars, food, some doctors, and whatever else we can scrounge up for you. They only need you, because their own government can’t control it’s own fucking country.

Universal Healthcare? Seriously? Have any of you ever been to a hospital in Canada? Get the fuck outta here with this shit. And they want it mandatory? Fuck you. You can throw my ass in jail, but I’m not buying healthcare because you fucking said so. The USA isn’t ran under dictatorship, bitch. Get the fuck out of office, Obama. You’re a fucking disgrace to our flag. The USA doesn’t band-wagon with other countries. We were built on the belief that we shouldn’t be forced to think how others think, or do what others do, just because some one in power says that’s the right way.

Send us to Mars? Really, Obama? For fucking what? It already costs billions to send a rover there, could you imagine the bill to send a shuttle with actual people? lmfao… You sir, are the fucking fail.

Those commercials on TV. “For just 35 cents a day, you can feed this starving kid in Africa.”. Oh really? Well for 35 cents a day, you can feed a few homeless kids in AMERICA! Instead of sending money to other countries “starving people”, why not send it to your local soup kitchen, and make a difference in YOUR country.

If you want to successfully build our country back up, deal with the issues WITHIN OUR COUNTRY. What about other countries in need? What the fuck about them? I don’t see any other NATO countries rushing in to help them, do you..? Why the fuck is it always the US? Throw another couple billion on to our debt there, asshole. No one will ever notice…

This is a quick and easy way to determine which page you’re currently on, and then setting your menu button’s overlay based on that page.

First we need to create a function to determine the page we’re on.
function getCurrPage() {
return substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],strrpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],"/")+1);
}

Next we need to check our this against the menu.
$thisPage = getCurrPage();
if($thisPage == 'index.php') { $navHome = '[Current Class]'; } else { $navHome = '[Noncurrent Class]'; }
if($thisPage == 'search.php') { $navSearch = '[Current Class]'; } else { $navSearch = '[Noncurrent Class]'; }
if($thisPage == 'about.php') { $navAbout = '[Current Class]'; } else { $navAbout = '[Noncurrent Class]'; }
if($thisPage == 'faq.php') { $navFAQ = '[Current Class]'; } else { $navFAQ = '[Noncurrent Class]'; }
if($thisPage == 'contact.php') { $navContact = '[Current Class]'; } else { $navContact = '[Noncurrent Class]'; }

After everything’s been checked, you can simply set your menu as-needed.
echo $navHome . $navSearch . $navAbout . $navFAQ. $navContact;

If you’re dealing with a dozen or more menu links, it would be more efficient to create an array to scan and verify the current page, but this will work fine for smaller menus. Enjoy.

Obviously, they have no idea how to read a calendar. If the senders email address doesn’t send a red flag up for you, the subject line should. Since it’s a month behind.

*Tips to keep you safe.
Always scroll over links in your emails. If they don’t lead to the website that the email is referring to, it’s most likely a phishing attempt.
Right-Click the link, and copy/paste it in to Google. This will more than likely bring up reviews and scam reports on the website in question.
If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. It’s always better to manually type out a URL you know than to click a hyperlink you don’t.

With phishing at its all-time high, you should always be careful of the emails you open, and the links that are contained inside of them.
