Your theory speculation is what allows politicians to hold the high pedestals of public office. Economists are their perfect tool to simply talk and never take action until people force them to [in the extreme cases]. The masses, evidently love to be led by their noses by such … “intellectuals” -lol Once again, as Mencken has stated:
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
~ H.L. Mencken
Once again, your choice, not mine.
Why should I sue the college I attended? It served my purpose and I am doing very well, thank you very much I do not have to be seeking guilty parties where they do not exists. I guess you agree with the idea of suing people for no particular reason that I would have to put it under the "new American way" category. The new attitude is: “I am not to blame, it is somebody else, not I”; “My feelings are “hurt” and someone has to cover my pain and suffering” right? Nah, not I.
By the way, I view education (or such institutions), as places were guidelines and a learning structure is taught, it is UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL to excel and take himself or herself to whatever level his/her desires place them. Unfortunately, many of the professors, (not all), see themselves as gods who are to be revered and never to be question in their “wisdom”… limiting real creativity and possible new ways… but who am I to question those established intellectual standards… I am a mere peon who has done ok for himself, ignoring most ‘common wisdom’ That’s ok as I have never professed any interest to be acclaimed by masses, in fact I avoid them at all costs.
The fact that politicians take advantage of the masses with their "theories" and endless circling talks about a specific subject without ever taking proper and immediate action does not necessarily make it the most efficient way. Not for me anyway.
Are you suggesting that colleges are supposed to train people and convert them into robotons arguing [ahem… theorizing], in circles until they are blue in the face without really achieving practical results ?
Economists, btw, are not the best example to use as achievers of practical results, there may be one or two, but in general... their predictions are as good as that of whether men... or worse.
If the man is as intelligent as you suggest and his "tool" so efficient...
How come it has not been implemented long ago or the situation of the people has not improved as you suggest he could accomplish? Why does this sound familiar? Perhaps it is high time for all the theorists and intellectuals of the world to roll up their sleeves and forget their theorizations for a few decades and really take action and start implementing some of their “wonderful” ideas.
Once again... academical nonsense. Ah I forget...Yes, in theory it could work (your words, not mine), but it is never actually work the way it is intended.... oh well... I hope they continue with their endless "discussions and theories" ... be my guest, I don't think I will be joining.
As for your Latin American examples...
First, I have never said that their past leaders had not done what you have used as examples, in fact I brought it up in one of my prior posts addressed to you.
Once again... these are the actions of specific individuals targeting SPECIFIC groups of people who they considered their opposition/enemies. Yes, I am very well aware of that and I have NEVER denied it or pretended never happen. No I do not “justify” their actions, they were a bunch of killers. Many, by the way, supported by the US… but that is another subject.
I will even add to your examples where REAL TERROR was utilized in Latin America.
The inquisitorial trails… under the guidance and sponsorship of the Catholic Church, in fact the Vatican itself. Now, That was REAL TERROR… almost as efficient and bloody as the one used in the Middle East today.
Stroesser (Paraguay), Somoza, (Nicaragua), Galtieri and friends (Argentina) etc etc etc were apprentices of these real masters of Terror… These bastards really took their job seriously, just like the Middle Eastern fanatics of death by blast, of course, we will give the modern day terrorist the advantage of technology, but BOTH have the common denominator of RELIGION.
I suppose the real death match were the crusades uh? Kill the infidel and all that jazz… -lol
Luckily for us all MOST of those leaders and times in Latin America are a thing of the past; slowly democracy has made inroads in each one of these areas INCLUDING the treatment of women. Day by day improvements are made
Not so in the Middle East. To this day, ridiculous “Medieval Kingdoms” still exist. Democracy, or “power to the people” is taboo I suppose. A time honored tradition yes? What about treatment of women uh? Secretive government regimes that only open up when time of need (for dollars) come up, or rescuing a king (Kuwait) from a barbarian (Iraq) arises. The people? They are mere servants of god and the particular king in question…
The entire future of the region depends on the resolution (elimination) of Israel… now that is some exemplary hatred… (and stupidity fer sure) Is in’t is about time to come to some compromise… I am sure the rest of the Arab “brothers” could spare some desert for a Palestinian homeland no ? I mean, aren’t they as smart as the Israelis and could turn their little corner of the desert into some great land of opportunity no ? What the hell do they need Jerusalem for anyway? Not worth all those mass killings… ooops, I forget, I am Latin… what the hell do I know about Middle Eastern time-honored traditions right ? I am sure in Latin America
I doubt it will happen in my lifetime… or the next, As you say… they are ready to die for their “cause”… how stupid, what waste. So continue with your theorizing ways… see where it takes you.
Quite frankly any one of the people who straps a bomb on their body and walks into a restaurant has extraordinary fortitude and belief in their cause. They die to fight. And the people with rockets and tanks? We don't condemn the tank rounds that kill 3 or 4 family members in a hovel in some town right out of the Bible?
Ah it took you a while to come up with that stupid argument. Die to fight? ROFLOL You mean they fight to die ? no ? hahahahaha well… semantics after all, they will die anyway so who cares ?
No they do not have fortitude... They are brainless zombies. Whenever they had a brain, (if at all), it was washed and rinsed and replaced with their stupid death wish fro NOTHING (and kill others who have NOTHING TO DO with whatever argument they may have). Once again... you seem to forget "results"
What have they accomplished to this day ? NOTHING.
Not only that, they have increasingly alienated many people that COULD have been on their side in terms of support for their cause. Now, finally, after so many deaths, the masses are beginning to see how stupid this method has been accomplishing exactly NOTHING. And the tide is turning, soon the so call “public opinion” will be in favor (if not already), for a general extermination of the cockroaches who promote such “sacrifices” i.e. Arafat, Hussein and all the other “leaders” of these nations who by some strange magic the rest of the world does not question openly their prevalent use of monarchical tyrannies under the pretense that are time honored traditions…
BULLSHIT !
Medieval fanatical tyrants who have their respective populations idiotized by an equally ignorance prompting religion who amongst many of their “time honored traditions” they treat women like second class citizens at best. So go sell your snake oil to someone else, as I am not in the market for such crapola.
Courage I see it, in the Israelis who IN SPITE of the entire ARAB world being bent on destroying them, have BUILT a nation and an Eden out of an inhospitable dessert.
Intelligence, I see in the Israelis who have repeatedly beat the sh*t out of a bunch of inefficient "armies" time and time again.... (and will continue to do so)
And ONLY because European and even American cries to return some of the "occupied" lands, the Israelis have done so in a futile attempt to come to a peaceful solution with their fanatical neighbors.
These lands are the SPOILS of war and they belong to the Israelis.
Maybe one of these days the Palestinians (or any other Arab group), can gather a few REALLY intelligent people and sit down to negotiate in good faith...
Meanwhile, if they continue to choose the terror ways ... all they will win is safe passage to the “other life” and the virgins that come with it… Boy how much stupider can one get?
The Palestinians will not be defeated because they are willing to die for what they believe in. And it appear that enough of them have that willingness to counter all the rounds that tanks can fire into refugee camps. Pretty damn amazing. Pretty damn impressive. 16 year old girls with more courage than you or I will ever have, have ever had in total. It ain't slick but it sure is effective. And quite rankly it makes the death squads that Latin American Machismo butchers are so proud of look like the cowardly lowlife scum that they are.
ROFLOL !!!
You remind me of the foolish knight in the Monty Python movie... Ya sure.. "effective". Do you really believe the crap you write? (or do you think I am stupid enough to believe it ?)LOL
Impressive ? LOL Hogwash ! you must be easily impressed… Hey, if that is their idea to obtain a solution, why not just commit suicide en masse and end the problem once and for all just do it on your OWN without taking innocents with you… Most of us won’t miss ya!
The Palestinians have NOTHING so of course they can not lose, they have NOTHING, so why not continue to be the foolish martyrs they have been all these years... the more they do it the less they accomplish... AH but their so smart leadership ask them to blow themselves up for their cause.
WHAT BULLSHIT ! How come I do not see any of their "courageous and intelligent" leaders do one of their recommended acts.
I repeat, I see no courage in the idiots blowing themselves up, I see the desperate actions of brainless zombies, promoted by tyrannical and fanatical leaders who don't have the smarts to either negotiate a peace with dignity for their followers, nor what it takes to win a military victory.
The Palestinians will never be defeated you say? That’s laughable, and what exactly is it that they are going to lose? And what exactly have they accomplished or anywhere near accomplishing?
NOTHING.
Just death for themselves and anybody near them.
Have at it, be my guest... I will make sure I will stay away as far as possible from these maniacs. Once again it is not racism it is self-preservation.
You despise what you should fear. You ignore what you should despise.
You take for a fool don’t you? That's ok... I am glad you do so.
People with attitudes such as yours are easy to defeat because they will never see it coming. Even when they get scared enough to go out and start rounding up their neighbors and shooting them in the back of head....that's the Latin way, no?
ROFLOL... Defeat ? I did not know I was in a fight. LOL
First… I doubt you know anything about the "Latin Way". [assuming there is one] ROFL
But as it is expected... you theorize and "discuss" in circles to see where it takes you... a failed fishing expedition, that's where.
Oh well... booooooooriiiinng I suppose this is the time you expect me to say things like…
Well, too bad you cannot send me a bomb through the Internet eh ? Isn't that the Middle Eastern way ? (i.e. argue in circles senselessly, with no real intent to solve anything and when I am not looking you send an emissary with a bomb attached... right ? After all, that is real courage that "advances" your "cause” Right?)
LOL
Happy bombing. [just stay away from me please]
p.s. I propose we terminate this… er… circling posting as I am not going to convince you nor you will me either… |
