Israel is just like every other country in that their scientific acumen derives from that fraction of the population which don't reject science (regardless of the little idiosyncrasies they entertain in their belief structure).


And while their scientific acumen derives from that segment of the population that does not reject science as technologically beneficial, that segment might still believe some God of the Hebrews gave that land to the Jews as a nice Chanukah gift, so to speak.

@Foofie,
I call you a dismal idiot, not because i know you (or even want to) or know anything about you (or even want to), i call you a dismal idiot because of the dismally idiotic horseshit you habitually post.

@Setanta,
Why doesn't Set explain why Foofie's post was "horseshit". Anybody can assert that about anything.

I go away for a couple hours and we have a donnybrook over evolution. I think that ros" method of just ridiculing the silly snot is the best way. Foofie is a leight weight.



ORNOT.

@farmerman,
You just a soft-headed romantic effemm. Your muse, evolution, ( and Science), with its deep limpid blackeyed temptations mesmerising you with flatteries has no blemish. When you are aroused you do not see her dangers.

As Donne said about the real romantic muse which was all the rage in his day-

Quote:
Love's not so pure and abstract as they use
To say, who have no mistress but their muse.


He saw all the facts about his mistresses and judged them scientifically. Imitators followed him in the minor matters but hadn't the nerve or the capacity to get to grips with his psychological realism. Her witcheries.

"The last rasping gasp of the mantis's groom" Bill Greenwell warned of.

You give yourselves away as panting saps by never saying anything negative about your muse. She is perfect isn't she? She cures diseases. She never causes them. She saves lives. She never takes them away, She never lets herself be seen without her Sunday best on. And behind the closet door she's grubbing in the muck with the worst of them. In fact she can outgrub the lowest muck-grubbers.

One has a chance with the real Muse if you don't let her get your head spun off your shoulders.

Religion is a man's game. It can have Science on the beer crates behind the pub anytime it wants and stick the washing-up gloves on her and tell her to get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans. She is the one to whom it is done. That's why she begs for funds instead of having them freely given.

She has to lobby with the pork. It's indecent really.

What a disgusting load of **** this is. Made up to get a rise out of someone, with no effort to be factual in any sense of the word. Come on, spendi. You are capable of being better than that.

It's not so much a question of whether or not Foofie is a light weight--Spurious is a light weight, he knows nothing about science; the member "real life" was a light weight, he knew nothing about science; Bad Dog was a light weight, he--incredibly--knew even less about science than Spurious and "real life." The problem i have with Foofie is that he shits all over the appropriate synthesis and interpretation of history, which is the area in which i possess the expertise to literally wince at the **** he posts. He knows just enough to cloak his pathetic ignorance and intellectual ineptitude in an aura of authority in the eyes of someone who knows less about history than he does.

Do you think I don't know that Ed? I hold myself in check. You guys need gradual weaning.

How come I missed out "pools of " in the limpid blackeyed image. I intended to have that in. I must have been laughing too much.

That Hadron Collider programme had real deep, limpid pools of feminine guile but unfortunately minus the twat. Watching it I could imagine the scientifics preening themselves as the chosen intimates of this esoteric knowledge which the sweating masses are not a party to. And esoteric does not do justice to the knowledge. It was way out man. The seductive voiceover was the core. With some equipment fetishism added.

Meanwhile life outside goes on all around them.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."

And now you can't think in any other terms and the graven images engraved on your minds are not your own.

I never counter your post; I just add my comments, possibly based on some other focus than what the regular posters had. So, it appears to me, you do not like having me on a thread that you may deem yourself the definitive voice, in my New York opinion. So, I get ad-hominems, with others joining in on the fun of an adversarial interaction with me. Here in the big city it is called "ganging up" by bullies oftentimes. I did not know that A2K is a turf that one has to be part of the club to not get ad-hominems from "da boys".

I thought thinking one was "very smart" was a stereotypical Jewish trait? Live and learn. By the way, relating to Creationism, I do believe many of those that believe in Creationism practice their faith in more charming ways, such as humility and gratitude (like saying Grace). Secular people and less religious people just have their social class (that they were born into) or not!

@Foofie,
It has nothing to do with "New York opinions." As i have pointed out repeatedly, i am a native of New York. I do not employ "ad hominems," you once again display your ignorance. I don't dismiss what you write by attacking you personally, i dismiss what you write by pointing in detail that you are wrong, and why you are wrong. The personal remarks i make about your idiocy thereafter are simply the entertainment which goes with the effort.

Nobody here "gangs up" on you. When i point out that you don't know a goddamned thing about history, and when i point out where you are wrong, no one else comes along to jump on you. You are indulging self-pity and paranoia now, and that does not surprise me.

As for the rest of that drivel, i can only observe that you really are very pathetic.

When you're a Jet,
You're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day.

When you're a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You're a family man!

You're never alone,
You're never disconnected!
You're home with your own:
When company's expected,
You're well protected!

Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you'll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you're a Jet,
You stay a Jet!

Since I never question the veracity of your many historical facts, what motivates you to be the editor of my posts? Who annointed you keeper of the threads? Most posts are my opinions, and are colored by my set of experiences, and my living in a culture that has taught me a different set of beliefs, than perhaps your culture has. You can choose not to set me straight, so to speak, other than pointing out that you believe I am wrong. But, you take my wrongness personally, it appears to me.

So, you should not take my posts, responding to your posts, as a personal affront, since I do consider you an archetype of a specific New York demographic of a bygone era (the 21st century version perhaps). There are likely any numbers of Setanta Post Alikes in cyberspace, with your education, your beliefs, and your sensitivities. You do know that Patrick Moynihan was a sociology professor at City College, before he entered the public arena. He wrote a textbook about NYC ethnic groups. That is why I have these thoughts relating to archetypes.

However, there are likely very few archetypal Foofies.

I am guessing that since you do not care for my presence, I am the recipient of some non-complimentary thoughts from you. I too do not care for your presence; however, I do not act out, so to speak, nor do I feel it is ethical to try to get you to leave by sending non-complimentary thoughts in your direction.

Enjoy.

P.S. I think of my posts as "memes" that I am sending out to cyberspace. Therefore, when it is addressed to a specific person, it is really meant for all to read and possibly ruminate over if they are not too closed minded. I am not trying to impress anyone with my knowledge of this or that, or pose as a heavy weight, so to speak.

The whole point of threads like this one is to thrash it out. If you can't take being disagreed with, you can't very well function here.

@edgarblythe,
Foofie wasn't disagreed with. He was subjected to an un-necessary barrage of ignorant amd meaningless insults from someone who hasn't got the nerve to read my posts. He tries to claim he has other reasons but he would wouldn't he.

Set is one serious twat. And he knows nothing about history or science or any other damn thing other than shouting his mouth off, sucking up to those it suits him to and playground style literacy.
