Very, very well put, the whole post through.

Basically, Postmodernism is that the struggle between values (what is good and what is bad) is a good in itself.

Yeah I noticed the absence :)

Pip pip old boy! Same to you!

The temporary return did reinforce my reason for leaving the OT though :)

Don't think I'll be hanging around.

It's your brain coping with the OT abstinence.

I hope so. Otherwise it could be a psychosis I'm going through.

Usually in the Elite forums nowadays. :)

Hey, Mr. formerly Sill… what's the new thread about? I'm just to the forums after quite the absence.

Maybe the whole system is plotting against you? ;) If you have a reply then just copy/paste and resend? Unless in your view it will disturb the balance of not just one person, but of the universe, in which case you should rethink it :lol:

Ho ho ho! Lookin' good monkey santa! :xmascheers:

Yeah, I was quite pleased with it as well :)

What I strongly object to is that suggestion that people hence are in general rather [me: ???].
Because if they are not, and if they, for whatever reasons, will value decency and common concerns for whatever question they are called to the polls - then this means that your depiction of their shortcomings seems - frankly - overall hysterical.

I cannot tell you the amount of hysterical curiousity I am experiencing right now to see that blank filled in to discover what depictions I've been hysterical about :) I'll let you fill in that blank before I respond. Although I have to disappoint you if you expect much disagreement. All in all, I think both of us appreciate the sentiment behind a self-governing or governmentless society, your angle seems to be a bit more ideological, mine a bit more practical perhaps.

Thanks :D I love it/me as well.

Close. I'm a programmer. Aka quack author.

You said that Israel was keeping Ethiopian birth rates low intentionally. You also said that this was a consequence of the Holocaust (analogizing it to people who get raped and later rape themselves). I did the math.

That Jews are inclined to commit genocide because seventy years ago a genocide was committed against European Jews? And this isn't something outlandish, correct?

"So if I say that America exhibits particular strong nationalistic militarism and hence by extension a particular likeliness to murder people - that is a blood libel?"

No. Saying "Americans are violent xenophobes who reproduce by rape and hang Arabs in the streets" would be. But simply suggesting that a particular cultural mindset might lead to a more aggressive foreign policy isn't painting the American people as murderers. Anyway, blood libel tends to be directed toward segments of society, not societies as a whole. Israel is an exception.

"Or if I say the opposite is true for Germany?"

Um... so if you say that Germans are pacifistic and multicultural? Why would that be blood libel?

Is my interpretation correct?
