Thought Of The Day

I would never name a pig after Mohammed.

It would be an insult to the pig.

Statement of Policy

For the second time someone tried to post a reply to the previous article on my Live Journal page.

This so-called reply was a link to a You Tube video. In both cases I deleted the reply without viewing the video.

Here are the house rules for replying on my blogs.

1. Use text in Standard English. English is now the world standard for international communication. If you cannot make a statement in English you may as well give up and take a suicide pill.

2. If you post a link to video it is very likely that I will not bother to watch it and I will proceed to delete it. If the video is not in English I will automatically delete the post.

3. As far as I'm concerned there is no valid argument for evil. I will not waste any time on such noise. All posts that attempt to argue in favor of a toxic ideology, such as Islam, National Socialism, Communism, or Obamatology, will be automatically deleted.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Quote Of The Day

"We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming."

-- Wernher von Braun

Speech Of The Day.

There's a reason I never argue with drill instructors.

Information of the Day

Benito Mussolini was once filmed wearing his hat backwards, A practice that I do not approve of.

(WARNING! DEAD BODIES!)

Quote Of The Day

“People will be able to look up BREAKFAST and see that I did not advocate eating babies for breakfast.”

Quote Of The Day

Some things, the more you understand the more you loathe them.

Five Responses To A Walking Piece Of Excrement

1. When one finds one's self at the bottom of a moral equivalent of a hole, then one has to climb out the hole. The process will take time, and may even take years, but it will happen. Suicide is not a valid means of resolving a moral dilemma.

2. Compliance with an actual moral code takes an entire lifetime. Errors do happen, so do corrections. This takes work, but it will be done.

3. If you are going to stab a friend in the back, do it literally.

4. Never cause an author to become angry at you.

5. You betrayed me, again. Do not expect to be forgiven this time.

Another Thought Of The Day.

If I recall correctly, John Wilkes Booth was a Democrat.

Thought For The Day

In my view the members of the so-called Occupy Movement are basically a bunch of Brownshirts without a uniform, a shave and haircut, and a bath.

But some readers may object that the Occupiers aren't racists while the original Brownshirts were.

But the Occupiers are in fact a racist group, it's just that their racial hatred is directed towards Caucasians who are rational and productive.

Quote Of The Day

From Al Nofi's CIC comes:

When the Duke of Wellington attended the Congress of Vienna in 1814, the Austrian secret police noted that he was accompanied by the famed opera singer Mme. Giuseppina Grassini, “a very pleasant kind of baggage”, who had previously been a mistress of a certain Corsican who had recently removed to Elba.

Ouch! That has to hurt. From the Corsican gentleman's perspective.

You are, of course, free to do whatever you want in YTU. But in
sharing it with others you might find your world view differs
from that of normal folk. For one I don't 'loathe' Iranians. In
fact I currently work with one and can tell you he is a nice guy
(though I don't know if he is a Muslim or not). And in the past
I have worked with devout Muslims (at certain times of the year
certain accommodations were necessary due to their beliefs) and
they were good people too. Perhaps the lack of comments is
because people mistook your post for a troll.

I would be interested in seeing a write up of a world that chose
Zoroastrianism, but please change or leave out the offensive
and implausible backstory.



Regards Hemdian

There was a time when I used to respond to nonsense like this by writing several paragraphs of flames. I've learned the hard way that such responses, especially to morons, generally don't work.

Somehow the moron that is being quoted above has taken offense at the idea that good people should be depicted as behaving like good people.

Oh, and that evil people should be identified and dealt with as evil people. I personally don't see anything wrong with loathing someone for adhering to an evil ideology. If Greater Germany were still under the rule of the National Socialist German Workers Party, I would have the same problem with them as I have with Iran under Islam.

Quote Of The Day

Science fiction is inherently rational and forward-looking. That puts it at odds with contemporary liberalism.

-- Glenn Reynolds

Thought For The Day

I had an idea for a fourth novel, separate from the trilogy that I'm presently working on, where someone says the following line:

Never piss off someone who buys nerve agents in multiple ton lot quantities.

Have fun, today.

Monty Python Reference Of The Day

Quote of the Day

Remember that in liberal arts, the only wrong answer is to say that there's a right answer.

-- Michael Wong

Thought For The Day

After having to deal with what passes for "nutrition services" in this nursing home that I'm presently stuck in, I now have to say that I'm personally in favor of Darth Vader's style of management.

Good Guy Obituary

Hairdresser Vidal Sassoon has died at the age of 84.

He fought in Israel's War Of Independence, presumably on the good side.

Rest in peace, sir.

Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of the day the National Socialist Germany surrendered to the Allied Powers to end the Second World War in Europe. This is the proper V-E Day, not the Soviet V-E day.

Hello Hell On Earth

HELLO SAUDI ARABIA!!
