APTITUDE... Not everyone has what it takes to be an engineer or scientist. All the really wealthy people I've known in my life have little to no college at all. If they did go to college, academics was a low priority. I had a short employment with Tampa Electric, following my graduation from USF, working with and for engineers. My alcoholism soared to the destructive level during that period. It was like working with a bunch of robots. Previously, I had been an air traffic controller in the USAF. We enjoyed each other's company on the job. I thought I would find that same camaraderie with a BA. WRONG!

I see it as a cyberspace encounter group. It serves a therapeutic purpose. However, to the benefit of sangria or, whomever the dz.com designer is, participation equals to eyeballs on the website. Eyeballs justify advertising dollars. Just keep track of the ads that surround the page every time you sign on or refresh. So, bottom line, what we do on SC is help generate income for a minority of capitalistic entrepreneurs. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I don't know if I got it from Timujin but I believe I have it along with other built in flaws. Revenge is the primary motivator in my case, as opposed to material acquisition. I am very thankful I found a way to stay in check. Therefore, war is the appropriate response to an attack on America, such as Pearl Harbor or 9/11. The Vietnam war is a quandary. I never questioned our involvement from 1961 until around 1968. Now it is known that war was politically motivated. We have adapted our military philosophy accordingly. Warrior is a legitimate profession. Thus, we seem to be relying on our genetic preferences. We're gonna romp and stomp, And, smash and bash, And, slash and bash and burn.

Spent the major part of last Saturday with my wife and her two oldest sons. We were at a improvised shooting range in the south GA woods expending a lot of ammo from various assault and self-protection weapons as well as high powered hunting rifles. Every time a shot was fired I thought another terrorist/Taliban bites the dust. It all seemed quite normal and natural. And, a good time was had by all.

In my lifetime, I know that the USG has been lying to me since the Tonkin Gulf Incident. I have learned, I have no control over the USG. I can only vote and hope for the best. I invest in property, weapons, ammunition and food. I pray for wisdom. I expect death everyday. I am ready to meet the Lord. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

You did not reply to my last question, albeit a bit snarky. I am trying to get a better understanding of you as a person. So, I shall ask in a different more direct manner. Are you of the Jewish faith and therefore non-accepting of Jesus as Messiah? Or, are you an atheist Jew? Your attempt to put me into a context you understand is doomed to fail. Judaism is who you are, not what you are. Judaism is a tribal identity not a religion, but we have traditions with significant religious implication. I am a (somewhat) observant, though skeptical, Jew. Based on my understanding from Donna Rosenthal's book The Israelis, your statement makes sense to me. Thank you for your candid reply.

Right away, there is an assumption that there is more than One God. There are emissaries of Satan that pose as many types of gods.

It's not a cry of innocence. If you think I'm being rude, fine, you're probably right. If swearing offends you, there's no reason why it shouldn't offend you the second time as well as the first. However, when it only offends you the second time and not the first, well, then you're making a biased, cockeyed appraisal of things. There is no possible way a mature adult could consider your reasoning as mature adult. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

You cannot change the law to suit your philosophical mission. You are just plain wrong. I long ago accepted the fact that you are a fringe type. If you keep up this line of reasoning you place yourself in an even more unfavorable light. To the veteran community and specifically Vietnam vets, speaking against them is very likely to arouse unfavorable passions. If you want to preach an anti-war policy that is your right. However, I strongly recommend you change your strategy and technique. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

The "conservatives" of the latter day GOP are incapable of putting issues to bed. They do seem to be so busy and far better at bedding mistresses, prostitutes, young congressional pages and male congressional staffers to actually deal with issues.

I defy you to explain what he meant by; Go ahead. Feel free to attempt to make sense out of that collection of words. i understood it much the same as labrys. As a suggestion, when someone posts an unclear message, I wait and see how other folks respond. Of course, that is not as much fun as telling them they are stupid and can't talk good.

My neighbor is due back in the CONUS within the week. As soon as I can get it, I want his first hand account on whether we should stay or leave. Been there, can answer it easily. Time to go.

Oh shush... most supposed "christians" are completely and utterly missing the point. The things that Jesus said in his life or how he lived his life they are COMPLETELY missing . Hold on there, Jesus believes in and will establish a theocracy upon His return. Socialism will work when there is no need for a free market system. Right now socialism is not the best choice for America. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
