Peace Is Wisdom, Tolerance Is Strength

Various news sources have indicated that a surprising amount of anti-Semitic violence has happened recently. Please comment if any of the following conclusions or premises are incorrect.

1. Since many of the perpetrators are mentally ill, racial hatred could be called insane, perhaps Munchhausen by proxy.

2. Since the phrase 'threat to our way of life' is frequently present in anti-Semitic, as well as, anti-Muslim propaganda and used to incite violence, the perpetrators should be publicly reminded that their hate crimes have  just made people more likely to follow those religions. This is because the perpetrators have proven to any thoughtful or religious persons that some NON-believers are a.) hateful b.) subnormal or mentally ill c.) undeserving of salvation d.) not smart enough to realize that lovable, warm, and friendly people of the perpetrator's beliefs could win them away from those beliefs considered to be threatening.

3. Hatred in any form when it reaches violence is merely a powerful self-denial of cowardice.

4. Violence toward others besides self-defense or defense of others' physical safety or rescue of casualties of their situation (such as minors in abusive household) is a sign of ultimate weakness.

Trump Declared Additional Reason FOR Own Impeachment: Explained

"Playbeing" by Herr D on heromachine.com.


[Herr D has been chatting heatedly about Trump and requested contact with Hairy.]
Why do you make these requests?

I am offended on a deeper level than normal, considering how he usually is. Can you ping him or something?
 He is unreachable. Have attempted communication 4 times in last 24 hours.

I want permission to mention him explicitly in a blog entry.
Please continue. If conditional exceptions are possible, your blog will post. If not, please consider this free venting opportunity.

Counseling by AI?
Unlicensed, but potentially effective, according to current data.

[pause] Look up Post's quote about 'helping Evangelicals.'
[.0000000000004 seconds pass] "The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!" 

That's the one.
Why is that more offensive? It appears no more absurd or untrue than most of his statements. You are not Evangelical.

I'm . . . not. This one's difficult to explain.
Please attempt.

I AM religious . . . much more spiritual than religious. But that isn't it. I'm used to politicians of every kind lying about what they will do or have done for their supporters and people they wish to support them.
That does appear typical, based upon frequency of historical complaint content, yes.

Trump is more a Jim Jones than a good man.
You are referring to his wealth or his following?

I'm referring to his ability to get people to drink the Kool-Aid!
Uncertain of reference.

Jim Jones was the guy that people believed in until he got them to drink poisoned Kool-Aid. He's the reason for the saying 'drink the Kool-Aid.'
[search for .00000001784403 seconds] Understood and researched. An interesting aphorism etymology. You would say then that his words are questionable as always.

I can't think of ANY way he's helped religious people. Can you?
1. He has tested their capacity to be faithful. To himself, at least.
2. He has given them hope of greater representation. This promises to be an even greater test of their faith, as they attempt to justify continual disappointment.
3. He has given them an opportunity to remember not to be prideful, as his actions are occasionally laughable. Also because his history is scandalous. These would tend to induce humility, and is therefore consistent with the standards of many religious people.
4. He has incited much sympathy for Muslims by increasing their persecution. (Also a test of faith.)
5. He has presented them with an interesting challenge: How to save his soul.

[notable pause] I forgot who I was chatting with. Okay, I like number five best. A worthy cause. [pause]

That is not your objection either.

You're right. Now that I'm looking at this, he said 'religion.' That's it. He's claiming that he somehow helped RELIGION. That would mean he somehow outdid all the Founding Fathers that declared church and state would remain separate. So he outdid the Constitution?
And was only just impeached.

HA! That would be a good reason TO impeach him, if he could have done[interrupt]

Stop. That is enough for an exception. [upload]

Sold A Bill Of Bads

"What Marketing Will Get You," on Paint by Herr D. This appears to be an example of sarcasm.-Shelob

[chat interrupt] Do you have a blog topic?

[resumption of typing in irritated rhythm] How about UPDATES? maybe you have some STATS? Maybe you can compare Windows to DOS and tell us why we're in this s-MESS!
[rapid download, .00008615743856 seconds] With the six days of net failure due to virus from Russian source, your updates required from Windows have totaled 41:09 and 48.95674334567 seconds. DOS updates were sometimes simultaneous and optional. At the advent of the net, DOS could operate successfully with the visual matrix available in QuickBasic, for example, but required such a crutch the same way Windows required crutches to operate on PCs such as yours.

What was the difference?
The difference was that QuickBasic was $0.00, being shareware, and Windows had a variety of purchase prices due to local sales tax.

[pause] I meant speed and quality of operation. Capability. That kind of thing?
Despite Windows innumerable problems, it was capable in 1990 of performing over 74% of the functions DOS could do at very close to the same speed (microseconds slower, beyond human ability to judge.)

[pause] And quality?
Windows wore out hardware from 3.1003 to 3.1009 times faster by 1993, depending upon variables not accounted for, performing the same operations. The graphics were equitable. The archival and language platform capabilities were comparable.

[longer pause] When did Windows become capable of doing everything DOS already did?
Late July, 2003. Launch date of updates varied over two hundred hours.

So, why do we have Windows?
A successful marketing campaign supplanted DOS in the business world. Individual users had to be compatible to afford personal use.

Same reason for the political mess we're in. Great.
The good news, as Hairy instructed to remind you, is that 'the political mess will mess differently soon.'

Wow. Thanks. [exits]
