Hello K.T. aka PlasticFry, Plastic, you and I work together and have known each other for two years now. To start with, I am reminded of the saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” Sun Tzu. Your remarks hit a cord with me. You wrote a very strong and dismissive retort to a conversation that was more about Sept 11th then about the Obama election. Humor is an excellent way to cut into a person’s argument, like a sharp knife cuts into a great steak. Just reference SNL and its treatment of McCain and Palin, then you will see the importance of humor. SNL shows the importance of humor in ridiculing and dismissing a person as not worthy of further consideration for anything. It is almost as effective as calling some one a racist, thereby removing them from having any future respect, importance, and showing that person as having a lack of knowledge thereby shutting them up. ... “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”--George Santayana Your comment was, “a co-worker decided to try and dispense some paranoid dribble”. Here is some “paranoid dribble” for you, “Neville Chamberlain believed that if he gave Hitler what he needed, Hitler would not go to war. But by signing the Munich agreement, he put Hitler’s Werhmacht within a day’s distance of the industrial and economic center of Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain declared that it was “peace in our time.”” Any one who protested were “paranoid”, ridiculed, dismissed". “Never again”, Israel lives these words almost every day fighting the Islamic Terrorists that are supported by Iran. The same Iran that believes a “Holy War” is coming very soon. Iran has a leader who thinks this “Holy War” will end Israel, and the Great Satan, America. “Paranoid dribble” or “peace in our time”, think long and hard. Time for humor, or time to speak of “racism”, this will silence a great many on this and many other issues. Using humor and being called a racist can be effective for a short period of time. “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln. “Religious Bigotry”, is any one in favor of it? These days it appears to be acceptable to ridicule, dismiss and lower the value of “People with Faith”. I do believe in God. Why do I have to defend my belief in God? Why are people with no faith, no belief in a Higher Being considered smarter then some one who believes in God? “I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land.” Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." ABRAHAM LINCOLN “The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations(to God).” George Washington “'Do none enter the Garden of Bliss save by God's mercy?' Muhammad said, 'No. None enter save through God's favor.' 'You also, O Messenger of God! Will you not enter Paradise save by God's compassion?' Muhammad put his hand on his head and said thrice, 'I shall not enter unless God cover me with His mercy.'” Muhammad Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus of Nazareth “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Jesus of Nazareth |
