Intro
First things first.
Tits or GTFO
Don’t complain they’re too small. If you can't see 'em get your eyes checked or use your imaginations. Maybe you haven't had your hands on too many but you sure have seen enough. According to Frank Zappa,” Anything over a mouthful is wasted.” You got ‘em. Now STFU
How come the few women on this site don’t demand an offering? Probably because they get enough, are too polite, and here to try and civilize a lot of you, a thankless, hopeless task.
Today, I turned 64 in הקודש ירושלים Yerushalayim Hakoidesh, (Jerusalem the Holy City). I drove to a nature reserve and almost ran over a Chasidic man standing in the middle of the road who refused to move even after yelling at him. I was only doing 2 miles an hour and probably wouldn’t have done much harm, but like the Bible says, “Jews are a stiff necked people.” Thank God I’m not Jewish but I’m married to one and she fits right in.
The 19th century Texas murder defense, “He deserved killing,” doesn’t work in this country even for terrorists, unfortunately. Most people here don’t have the American mentality, “Mess with us and you’re dead motherfucker.” We’ll probably be nuked out of existence, which should cheer up some of you fuckers and a lot of the world until the price of oil hits a few hundred dollars a barrel a couple days later and the world economy tanks. No Israel, and no food, no gas, no electricity for a lot of people. Mass murder and mayhem. I’d rather go out in a big fireball. If I can’t go out with the ultimate fuck or fuck you, according to Gary John that’ll have to do.
In the late 1960’s there was a bumper sticker that proclaimed, “America love it or leave it.” I chose the latter a long time ago. Most of you don’t like my kind but there was another bumper sticker, a lot less popular, “America, save it or screw it.” Draw your own conclusions about America, the greatest country on earth, the greatest planet in the Milky Way.
Thirty years ago, somebody told me, “The world has gotten so perverse it’s like people are opening their mouths to show you what they’re chewing.” We’ve come a long way since then. Now some of humanity’s finest can’t wait to display what’s coming out of their asses. I don’t expect to live long enough to see where it all ends but some of you will.
I really do love America, still vote, get tax refunds, and a check from the Bush administration for hundreds of dollars meant to stimulate the American economy that I promptly spent here. I wanted to move back even though I didn’t miss it (still don’t, well maybe Maui probably because it doesn’t feel like America.) Ten years ago our then 11 year old daughter got cancer. The treatment was brutal but we’re lucky she’s alive. A few of the kids in the children’s cancer ward never made it out. One had been there for five years needing multiple transplants. Our daughter needed years of follow up testing to rule out a return of the cancer or other damage caused by the treatment, still has annual tests and will for the rest of her life. I was afraid that the greatest health care system in the world, according to Fox News, might not give it to her so here we are in הקודש ארץ Eretz Hakoidesh, the Holy Land. Israel like every other developed country except one has universal health care and even treats some Palestinians including a 16 year old girl from Bethlehem with the same cancer my daughter had, for free. And we never threatened with having our health insurance cut off or our rates raised. All opposed to universal government regulated health care is that barbaric or what?
For the record, this country should stop taking the 3 billion a year America gives it that goes for interest payments and purchasing weapons from American corporations. I’ve told plenty of people but nobody will listen. How many of you would refuse that kind of money?
A long time ago, I realized modern culture disdains any wisdom that might address perennial questions like what the fuck are we doing here for such a brief time?
William Blake wrote, “What is the price of Experience?
Do men buy it for a song? Or Wisdom for a dance in the street...Wisdom is sold in the desolate market place where none come to buy and in the wither’d field where the farmer plows in vain for bread.” How could you put a beautiful package around that? Even if you did it might bite you on the ass when you opened it.
If you don't like me, Too bad. No one’s forcing you to read this. You have better ways to spend the time you just lost reading this. Just watch your reactions. You might learn something. Truthfully, IGX is one of the best web sites with some of the most interesting forums and people on the net. That probably made some of you feel a little better even if I didn’t mean a word of it.
I lift weights, do body weight exercises along with a conditioning program from Joel Jamieson. But I’d rather surf, which I’m learning or ride my carveboards. I’ve reached the acceptable standard according to Dan John’s Intervention strength levels in four of his six exercises I do.
It’s not much but I don’t care. Call me weak. It’s good enough for now. Who’s strong? How’s this? The one who can control his passions especially the destructive ones. Not very glamorous no matter how you tried to package it.
A
There’s a teaching I heard recently. After you die, you’re shown two movies; the life you lived and who you were and another one; what you could have lived if you’d really been yourself and fulfilled your potential. If the two were the same that was heaven and if they were different that was hell.
That hell has nothing to do with the devil or fire and brimstone. It’s a state of consciousness where you’re completely alone in a deep silence with no escape or diversions and left to review your entire life and what you did. That might turn out to be terribly painful. You don’t have to die to be in this kind of Hell. (God lets you out eventually, well almost everybody although I’m not sure about some of you).
So what might be some worthwhile goals towards realizing one’s potential? How important are athletic feats and weight lifting numbers? Not much if anything in the grand scheme of things. According to some traditions it has something to do with learning to love and serve the Creator and all of creation. Not love for Big Girls, Self Shooters, White Women, or Mickey’s Sigs, (the one a few sigs ago with her knees in the air is awfully cute (who is she anyhow?) But why are she and all the others putting it out for free? Shouldn’t they get some financial remuneration or is knowing all that sleazy male attention is directed their way enough reward?
Somebody here ought to marry one of these beauties and have a few kids. If you can still stand each other in fifteen years and she still turns you on, you get a bronze medal. If you last thirty years you get a silver and in fifty years the gold. By that time either you’re together out of inertia, or you’ve seen her inner beauty because the outer beauty is long gone.
It’s too bad there’s not a camera to photograph the heart, soul, and personality. Then we’d see who’s really beautiful. A friend told me a long time ago, when the romantic love ends, which it always does, no matter what Hollywood and the rest of those idiots sell you, the real work starts and you see your partner naked, maybe for the first time. Put a beautiful package around that.
Unfortunately no one ever told most women that 99.9% of guys (a conservative estimate) including me, are selfish pigs, an insult to pigs. And I’m sure glad I didn’t have to put bestiality on the list Dr. Donkey Love or I’d never have written any of this.
Frankly, the level of arrogance some of you people display is amazing. Who the fuck do you think you are? Olympic Gold Medalists or pro athletes ? Even if you were according to research in the book, The Sports Gene, that talent, the ability to improve, and maybe even the motivation to improve is genetic. So you’re just living out your genetic heritage. Big Deal. If you were unlucky enough to get crippled from some terrible disease or accident as a child you couldn’t even show up at the Special Olympics. I don’t begrudge the money these people earn. It is capitalism. But what a culture. Young athletic entertainers are looked upon as heroes going out to do battle by way too many people.
It’s vital to take care of the physical body but there is a sick preoccupation in modern culture with physical beauty, youth, and for some of you, your strength levels unless you need it for your job. Maybe you like lifting weights and competing because it relieves stress and makes you feel good. Or maybe you need it to prop up your ego. Some of you better hope that medicine will have advanced enormously, or you’ll have a hard time walking or moving from all the damage you’ve done to yourselves if you live long enough.
It would be great to have a young body again so I could sleep through the night, not get so cold, have more energy, and recover more quickly. But I’m glad I’m not a young person. I was lucky to have lived through the 1960’s. I don’t romanticize it. There were some beautiful things like the music and for some of us the illusion we were all in it together but we were young, naive, and did a lot of incredibly stupid things thinking we could change the world and remake society. There was no one to guide us. Overall, my generation probably made the world a worse place.
The trouble with youth isn’t that it’s wasted on the young. Too many parents and teachers have so little wisdom to offer or fighting a losing battle against a perverted culture that glorifies the external - beautiful bodies, materialism, and ultimately meaningless achievements. There was a black woman who raised 15 orphans whose parents died of AIDS. People like her should be honored.
Bladd Drwg with the unpronounceable last name. Are you a Dr.? Dr wg. What does the wg stand for? Who’s great. Who’s god. (it would have to be a minor god, even you couldn’t be that pompous). Why should I care what you think about me? If I posted a training log you wouldn’t understand half of what I’m doing anyhow. Not because you’re stupid (maybe you are I don’t know) but because you haven’t had the training in a lot of things I have. After a wave smashed my head on the sea bottom, my shoulder was in a spasm. I was able to release it by visualizing the skeleton and especially the bones of the foot. I lay down and imagined a gentle push through my heel and how the force would travel through the skeleton to the top of my head. Should I have laid down on my side, my back, my stomach? Would it matter if it were the foot of the side that hurt or not? Should the force travel directly up the body or on a diagonal to the opposite shoulder? What should I focus on, the force traversing the body or should there be a larger focus to include the whole body and the environment? What should I do if there were dampening forces and the imagined push got stuck somewhere and couldn’t reach the head? The list of questions is endless. How did this help me? Does this have anything to do with weight training, competitive sports or life? Critique away Dr. I cower in fear in front of the computer.
What is so great about this web site that I should want to contribute? I only joined because Dunn was depressed and I have a very different perspective than most of you and thought it could be helpful. Dan John’s Q&A has people who are just as knowledgeable or more so. Laree Draper doesn’t allow cursing and rude exchanges. So here you can curse each other out, post nude photos, crude jokes, act like adolescent school boys, relieve some frustration and think this is such a fantastic website.
Some of you doing martial arts and alactic aerobic sports should check out Joel Jamieson’s Blueprint Conditiiong DVDs. His level of understanding on conditioning is way beyond what I’ve seen here. His book Ultimate MMA Conditioning is excellent but needs an update as Joel admits. It’s worth reading anyhow.
Kaz you have a pathological need to point out how sick niggers are. Does it give you a sense of moral superiority or just provide some form of perverted entertainment and stress release? Do you really think you’d do any better if you were raised in that environment? I’m not excusing them. They need to be punished if they’ve committed crimes. They come from a cruel and violent culture, which will probably just get worse. Maybe you’re right they should be wiped out since there are so few responsible adults willing to try and help them and change their culture. The government can’t help. There’s no money anyhow. America spends almost as much money on the military as the rest of the world combined but that doesn’t make a lot of you feel too safe does it?

A friend of mine was in Somalia fifteen or twenty years ago. There was no passport control at the airport and constant battles in the streets among different gangs and warlords. It was a nightmare. He was lucky to have survived. America and Russia poured a ton of arms into that country and the social structure was destroyed. The tribal elders lost all their influence and the young people took over. No one could restrain them. There’s an article called the Fine Art of Revenge you ought to read.
http://www.salon.com/2006/02/20/miller_45/
Tribal elders don’t let young people go to war or be violent whenever they want. They know that can lead to the annihilation of their whole tribe. I don’t romanticize their way of life. I’d never survive in one of those cultures but we could learn from them but probably won’t. The ghetto is a horror and will probably continue that way. Kaz, you can be funny. You’ve proved your point. Aren’t you sick of it already? You might appreciate this joke from the 1970’s I heard recently. What are the three biggest lies in America? The check is in the mail, black is beautiful, and I won’t come in your mouth. For you, once you go black you can never go back? Can you?
Batboy and all the others who love collecting guns, they’ll be great protection if the SWAT team comes gunning for you with helicopters and tanks. You’re really free because you have shotguns, handguns, and automatic weapons? The founding fathers didn’t go far enough. They should have permitted citizens the right to armies and air forces and nuclear weapons and all the other weapons systems they could have never imagined. The government can monitor all your electronic communications? How will a gun stop that?
Philip Zimbardo, a Stanford professor of psychology, wrote in one of his books, that by the time we’re in our early twenties we’re a museum of old habits. Check yourselves out. Was he right or wrong? How free are you? How free are you Kaz to stop reading and writing about niggers for a couple of months or are you addicted?
Hebrew Hammer, your thesis about monotheism and ethics made me cringe. No less an authority than Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, one of the most brilliant rabbis of the last thousand years, who translated the Talmud, an amazing accomplishment, wrote in one of his books that in some orthodox Jewish communities most of the people are honest. His secretary asked him, “Don’t you mean all or most orthodox communities,” and Steinsaltz said, “No I mean some.” You may be the best attorney on earth and can fool any judge and jury but try running that past the Ultimate Judge, the One according to Pirke Avot, Ethics of the Fathers (3:1), we all have to give an accounting to. He probably laughed His Ass off. Even fools know your argument is absurd.
Protobuilder responded to my post about depression with this insightful gem.
Disagree completely He wrote THIS: (did you ever learn grammar? Before a quote, a comma is inserted and not a colon.) “Acknowledge what you are feeling without censorship. Focus in your heart area and breathe in love about a minute.” He deserves a good thrashing.
Are you in favor of censorship? Move to China motherfucker. They have a lot of jails for people like you and their idiot opinions. A lot of them just disappear which you ought to from this site for a while. What do you have against love? You must love something: your dog, your wife if you have one, (is she a woman from birth?) who you probably treat like a dog, your kids, maybe just your barbell. I could understand how you have no love for yourself. Who could? Maybe the only thing you love is hate.
Here is a song for you.

I know a little about training and read through a few logs. Bram you’re training was all over the map and made no sense. You admitted you were unfocused in your training in one post. If you have no goal any road will take you there. I think you should seriously consider wearing a helmet when skateboarding, maybe even pads. It may not look too good, but all it takes is one drunken driver to destroy you. A terrible head injury could paralyze you for life. Think about it for a couple minutes. How does life in a wheel chair sound?
We’re all flawed. I’m no exception. If you put two coins up to your eyes and look at the sun all you see are the coins. We’re all blinded in different ways by our ego, desires especially for prestige, money, sex, you name it. Who dies with even half their desires fulfilled? Maybe Buddha was an exception.
Robert Bellah, a UC Berkeley professor and some of his students wrote a very revealing book about America called Habits of the Heart. It traces the roots of American values and what’s become of them today. According to him there were three main sources of ethics and values. Biblical morality, which is basically kaput in a lot of America even twenty years ago. There’s no right and wrong. It’s all relative. Do what you want as long as it makes you feel good. My generation contributed a lot to that.
Jeffersonian participatory democracy was another major influence. Individuals contributed to their community. Maybe some of you do but that’s not much of a value according to Bellah’s research. Benjamin’s Franklin utilitarianism was the third major source. Everybody should try and make their own lives better within the context of what was for the good of the community. What did Bellah find about American society? A lot of selfish people and even the few who did contribute to their community couldn’t articulate why. He also discovered that when economic times are good, people are willing to throw a few dollars at the poor, otherwise let them fend for themselves and die on the streets. Why should anybody care about them? It’s their own goddamn fault even if they’re born with mental illness. The corporations and the super rich have no patriotism. Some of them have even written off the American consumer as a source of new profits.
As U.S. stumbles, companies invest in consumer growth overseas
Many begin to give up on the ailing American shopper and make plans to chase growing demand in Asia and Latin America.

The preoccupation with the self in American society is extremely unhealthy. But you wouldn’t know it unless you left the country for a while and had another society to compare it to.
America is probably the next great power to go down along with Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Spain, Britain and all the others. It won’t be destroyed from without but from within. Dick Durban, a Democratic senator who was on the Senate banking committee said the banks own the senate. http://www.salon.com/2009/04/30/ownership/
Am I any better than what I rail against? Probably not. I suppose if I met some of you we could have an interesting civil conversation and I wouldn’t sound so strident. So go ahead curse me out. Call me a self absorbed, arrogant, old fool and kike lover (some of them are pretty nice actually). Lenny Bruce paraphrased Will Rogers and said, “I never met a dyke I didn’t like.” I wish I could say I never met a kike I didn’t like.
Bet a lot of you’ rugged individualists would love to put your fists through my skull right about now, but you can’t can you? Go ahead insult me. I don’t care. I’ve probably cursed myself a lot worse than whatever you can hurl at me.
The truth is you don’t know if I’m 64 or just a precocious teenager who wrote this shit which you’re probably still reading (you’ll never get the time back) or maybe I just hacked into my father’s account. Why don’t you tell my parents to wash my mouth out with soap and take away my computer, ipod, ipad, and smart phone? Before you reply, think about it. Do you really want to spend some more of the precious finite time you’ll never get back before you rot in the grave? I probably won’t even read it. I should see how free I am of your wonderful web site.
This intro went on way too long and goes on still. If I were you, I wouldn’t read any more of this drivel, written over a period of a few months and a big waste of time. But it’s been a lot more fun than calculus and physics homework. Ignore what I said. It’s all a joke. Have a drink, get laid, jerk off to Mickey’s sigs or whatever turns you on, watch TV, fire your guns away tough guys and pretend you’re free. Free enough to mow down the SWAT team or go out in a blaze of glory when you can’t. Go back to sleep. I’m nobody and have nothing to contribute here. A barrage of curses, crude insults, and getting banned from IGX should be the worst thing that happens to me today.
For this and a lot of other things I’ll probably be launched straight to hell and expect some of you fuckers will also. I don’t want to meet any of you there. I generally avoid strangers especially in hell and on camping trips.
If you actually read all this, you’d probably like somebody to kidnap this asshole, and turn she, he or it over to a jihad group to torture, mutilate, and behead. Wouldn’t they love that? Somewhere along the line they forgot the inner version of jihad was fighting the war against the nafs, the lusts we are all prone to. Murder makes some people feel great, but they need a theological pretext for it. Some of you would like to murder me right now. Fuck the theology.
Those of you are pretending to be racists and Jew haters I offer my most sincere and heartfelt apologies. The rest can go fuck yourselves.
Shaf, you know a lot and should really write a book. I used one of your programs to get a PR on the unilateral overhead press I’d been stuck at for quite a while. I used to edit financial reports. Why don’t you send me all the links to your training posts and I’ll help you create a book. Better yet I’ll just do an intensive search and find them. I promise I won’t steal it and put it out in my name. Like Nixon said, “Trust me.”
For the record, I’m actually a nice guy at least some of the time. Pete Townshend of the Who in 1969 at the Ninth National Jazz and Blues Festival at the Plumpton Race Track http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/plumpton ... -1969.html told us with outright scorn,” A bunch of you will be going back to London tonight looking for a ride. I’d never give any of you wankers a lift.” I’m a little more generous. If any of you are stranded on the side of the road and need assistance just pull out your IGX card (not your genitals unless you’re a woman by birth.) I promise I won’t run you down. Just drive by. Only kidding I’d be happy to help. Just call. Dial your international access code and then 972-800-382-5633. Pretty easy to remember. 972-800-FUCK-OFF

Somebody told Beer Jew to kill himself and then wrote Namaste. Beer Jew, are you really Jewish or just trolling to make Jews look bad in the eyes of the goyim (Gentiles) and reinforce their stereotypes of how despicable and disgusting they are. If you are Jewish, you should forgive me. Your country will be taken over by Moslems in 20 years and you may want a place to flee. I know people who lived in dhimmitude, that wonderful second class citizenship, the religion of peace gives non Moslems. It wasn’t fun sixty years ago. It’s a lot worse now. Half the young Moslems of your country want Sharia law. If Israel is still around and I haven’t gone to the grave (where a lot of you’d like to send me) I could put in a good word for you at the Ministry of Absorption for new immigrants. If you’re not Jewish the G-d of Israel has an endless supply of punishments for scum like you who defame His Holy People, or so I’ve been told by religious Jews in this country.
Namaste.
Ram Dass (aka Richard Alpert a former Harvard professor who got fired along with Tim Leary for their LSD experiments) concluded a two hour talk saying, “In India when you meet someone or part from someone no matter who, you say Namaste. It’s lost most of its meaning but the true meaning is, I honor that which is God within you. I honor the light within you and who you really are.”
I worked with a guy who probably drank himself to an early grave. His motto was if they can’t take a joke fuck’em.
Namaste Motherfuckers

It’s vital to take care of the physical body but there is a sick preoccupation in modern culture with physical beauty, youth, and for some of you, your strength levels unless you need it for your job. Maybe you like lifting weights and competing because it relieves stress and makes you feel good. Or maybe you need it to prop up your ego. Some of you better hope that medicine will have advanced enormously, or you’ll have a hard time walking or moving from all the damage you’ve done to yourselves if you live long enough.
It would be great to have a young body again so I could sleep through the night, not get so cold, have more energy, and recover more quickly. But I’m glad I’m not a young person. I was lucky to have lived through the 1960’s. I don’t romanticize it. There were some beautiful things like the music and for some of us the illusion we were all in it together but we were young, naive, and did a lot of incredibly stupid things thinking we could change the world and remake society. There was no one to guide us. Overall, my generation probably made the world a worse place.
The trouble with youth isn’t that it’s wasted on the young. Too many parents and teachers have so little wisdom to offer or fighting a losing battle against a perverted culture that glorifies the external - beautiful bodies, materialism, and ultimately meaningless achievements. There was a black woman who raised 15 orphans whose parents died of AIDS. People like her should be honored.
Bladd Drwg with the unpronounceable last name. Are you a Dr.? Dr wg. What does the wg stand for? Who’s great. Who’s god. (it would have to be a minor god, even you couldn’t be that pompous). Why should I care what you think about me? If I posted a training log you wouldn’t understand half of what I’m doing anyhow. Not because you’re stupid (maybe you are I don’t know) but because you haven’t had the training in a lot of things I have. After a wave smashed my head on the sea bottom, my shoulder was in a spasm. I was able to release it by visualizing the skeleton and especially the bones of the foot. I lay down and imagined a gentle push through my heel and how the force would travel through the skeleton to the top of my head. Should I have laid down on my side, my back, my stomach? Would it matter if it were the foot of the side that hurt or not? Should the force travel directly up the body or on a diagonal to the opposite shoulder? What should I focus on, the force traversing the body or should there be a larger focus to include the whole body and the environment? What should I do if there were dampening forces and the imagined push got stuck somewhere and couldn’t reach the head? The list of questions is endless. How did this help me? Does this have anything to do with weight training, competitive sports or life? Critique away Dr. I cower in fear in front of the computer.
What is so great about this web site that I should want to contribute? I only joined because Dunn was depressed and I have a very different perspective than most of you and thought it could be helpful. Dan John’s Q&A has people who are just as knowledgeable or more so. Laree Draper doesn’t allow cursing and rude exchanges. So here you can curse each other out, post nude photos, crude jokes, act like adolescent school boys, relieve some frustration and think this is such a fantastic website.
Some of you doing martial arts and alactic aerobic sports should check out Joel Jamieson’s Blueprint Conditiiong DVDs. His level of understanding on conditioning is way beyond what I’ve seen here. His book Ultimate MMA Conditioning is excellent but needs an update as Joel admits. It’s worth reading anyhow.
Kaz you have a pathological need to point out how sick niggers are. Does it give you a sense of moral superiority or just provide some form of perverted entertainment and stress release? Do you really think you’d do any better if you were raised in that environment? I’m not excusing them. They need to be punished if they’ve committed crimes. They come from a cruel and violent culture, which will probably just get worse. Maybe you’re right they should be wiped out since there are so few responsible adults willing to try and help them and change their culture. The government can’t help. There’s no money anyhow. America spends almost as much money on the military as the rest of the world combined but that doesn’t make a lot of you feel too safe does it?

A friend of mine was in Somalia fifteen or twenty years ago. There was no passport control at the airport and constant battles in the streets among different gangs and warlords. It was a nightmare. He was lucky to have survived. America and Russia poured a ton of arms into that country and the social structure was destroyed. The tribal elders lost all their influence and the young people took over. No one could restrain them. There’s an article called the Fine Art of Revenge you ought to read.
http://www.salon.com/2006/02/20/miller_45/
Tribal elders don’t let young people go to war or be violent whenever they want. They know that can lead to the annihilation of their whole tribe. I don’t romanticize their way of life. I’d never survive in one of those cultures but we could learn from them but probably won’t. The ghetto is a horror and will probably continue that way. Kaz, you can be funny. You’ve proved your point. Aren’t you sick of it already? You might appreciate this joke from the 1970’s I heard recently. What are the three biggest lies in America? The check is in the mail, black is beautiful, and I won’t come in your mouth. For you, once you go black you can never go back? Can you?
Batboy and all the others who love collecting guns, they’ll be great protection if the SWAT team comes gunning for you with helicopters and tanks. You’re really free because you have shotguns, handguns, and automatic weapons? The founding fathers didn’t go far enough. They should have permitted citizens the right to armies and air forces and nuclear weapons and all the other weapons systems they could have never imagined. The government can monitor all your electronic communications? How will a gun stop that?
Philip Zimbardo, a Stanford professor of psychology, wrote in one of his books, that by the time we’re in our early twenties we’re a museum of old habits. Check yourselves out. Was he right or wrong? How free are you? How free are you Kaz to stop reading and writing about niggers for a couple of months or are you addicted?
Hebrew Hammer, your thesis about monotheism and ethics made me cringe. No less an authority than Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, one of the most brilliant rabbis of the last thousand years, who translated the Talmud, an amazing accomplishment, wrote in one of his books that in some orthodox Jewish communities most of the people are honest. His secretary asked him, “Don’t you mean all or most orthodox communities,” and Steinsaltz said, “No I mean some.” You may be the best attorney on earth and can fool any judge and jury but try running that past the Ultimate Judge, the One according to Pirke Avot, Ethics of the Fathers (3:1), we all have to give an accounting to. He probably laughed His Ass off. Even fools know your argument is absurd.
Protobuilder responded to my post about depression with this insightful gem.
Disagree completely He wrote THIS: (did you ever learn grammar? Before a quote, a comma is inserted and not a colon.) “Acknowledge what you are feeling without censorship. Focus in your heart area and breathe in love about a minute.” He deserves a good thrashing.
Are you in favor of censorship? Move to China motherfucker. They have a lot of jails for people like you and their idiot opinions. A lot of them just disappear which you ought to from this site for a while. What do you have against love? You must love something: your dog, your wife if you have one, (is she a woman from birth?) who you probably treat like a dog, your kids, maybe just your barbell. I could understand how you have no love for yourself. Who could? Maybe the only thing you love is hate.
Here is a song for you.

I know a little about training and read through a few logs. Bram you’re training was all over the map and made no sense. You admitted you were unfocused in your training in one post. If you have no goal any road will take you there. I think you should seriously consider wearing a helmet when skateboarding, maybe even pads. It may not look too good, but all it takes is one drunken driver to destroy you. A terrible head injury could paralyze you for life. Think about it for a couple minutes. How does life in a wheel chair sound?
We’re all flawed. I’m no exception. If you put two coins up to your eyes and look at the sun all you see are the coins. We’re all blinded in different ways by our ego, desires especially for prestige, money, sex, you name it. Who dies with even half their desires fulfilled? Maybe Buddha was an exception.
Robert Bellah, a UC Berkeley professor and some of his students wrote a very revealing book about America called Habits of the Heart. It traces the roots of American values and what’s become of them today. According to him there were three main sources of ethics and values. Biblical morality, which is basically kaput in a lot of America even twenty years ago. There’s no right and wrong. It’s all relative. Do what you want as long as it makes you feel good. My generation contributed a lot to that.
Jeffersonian participatory democracy was another major influence. Individuals contributed to their community. Maybe some of you do but that’s not much of a value according to Bellah’s research. Benjamin’s Franklin utilitarianism was the third major source. Everybody should try and make their own lives better within the context of what was for the good of the community. What did Bellah find about American society? A lot of selfish people and even the few who did contribute to their community couldn’t articulate why. He also discovered that when economic times are good, people are willing to throw a few dollars at the poor, otherwise let them fend for themselves and die on the streets. Why should anybody care about them? It’s their own goddamn fault even if they’re born with mental illness. The corporations and the super rich have no patriotism. Some of them have even written off the American consumer as a source of new profits.
As U.S. stumbles, companies invest in consumer growth overseas
Many begin to give up on the ailing American shopper and make plans to chase growing demand in Asia and Latin America.

The preoccupation with the self in American society is extremely unhealthy. But you wouldn’t know it unless you left the country for a while and had another society to compare it to.
America is probably the next great power to go down along with Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Spain, Britain and all the others. It won’t be destroyed from without but from within. Dick Durban, a Democratic senator who was on the Senate banking committee said the banks own the senate. http://www.salon.com/2009/04/30/ownership/
Am I any better than what I rail against? Probably not. I suppose if I met some of you we could have an interesting civil conversation and I wouldn’t sound so strident. So go ahead curse me out. Call me a self absorbed, arrogant, old fool and kike lover (some of them are pretty nice actually). Lenny Bruce paraphrased Will Rogers and said, “I never met a dyke I didn’t like.” I wish I could say I never met a kike I didn’t like.
Bet a lot of you’ rugged individualists would love to put your fists through my skull right about now, but you can’t can you? Go ahead insult me. I don’t care. I’ve probably cursed myself a lot worse than whatever you can hurl at me.
The truth is you don’t know if I’m 64 or just a precocious teenager who wrote this shit which you’re probably still reading (you’ll never get the time back) or maybe I just hacked into my father’s account. Why don’t you tell my parents to wash my mouth out with soap and take away my computer, ipod, ipad, and smart phone? Before you reply, think about it. Do you really want to spend some more of the precious finite time you’ll never get back before you rot in the grave? I probably won’t even read it. I should see how free I am of your wonderful web site.
This intro went on way too long and goes on still. If I were you, I wouldn’t read any more of this drivel, written over a period of a few months and a big waste of time. But it’s been a lot more fun than calculus and physics homework. Ignore what I said. It’s all a joke. Have a drink, get laid, jerk off to Mickey’s sigs or whatever turns you on, watch TV, fire your guns away tough guys and pretend you’re free. Free enough to mow down the SWAT team or go out in a blaze of glory when you can’t. Go back to sleep. I’m nobody and have nothing to contribute here. A barrage of curses, crude insults, and getting banned from IGX should be the worst thing that happens to me today.
For this and a lot of other things I’ll probably be launched straight to hell and expect some of you fuckers will also. I don’t want to meet any of you there. I generally avoid strangers especially in hell and on camping trips.
If you actually read all this, you’d probably like somebody to kidnap this asshole, and turn she, he or it over to a jihad group to torture, mutilate, and behead. Wouldn’t they love that? Somewhere along the line they forgot the inner version of jihad was fighting the war against the nafs, the lusts we are all prone to. Murder makes some people feel great, but they need a theological pretext for it. Some of you would like to murder me right now. Fuck the theology.
Those of you are pretending to be racists and Jew haters I offer my most sincere and heartfelt apologies. The rest can go fuck yourselves.
Shaf, you know a lot and should really write a book. I used one of your programs to get a PR on the unilateral overhead press I’d been stuck at for quite a while. I used to edit financial reports. Why don’t you send me all the links to your training posts and I’ll help you create a book. Better yet I’ll just do an intensive search and find them. I promise I won’t steal it and put it out in my name. Like Nixon said, “Trust me.”
For the record, I’m actually a nice guy at least some of the time. Pete Townshend of the Who in 1969 at the Ninth National Jazz and Blues Festival at the Plumpton Race Track http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/plumpton ... -1969.html told us with outright scorn,” A bunch of you will be going back to London tonight looking for a ride. I’d never give any of you wankers a lift.” I’m a little more generous. If any of you are stranded on the side of the road and need assistance just pull out your IGX card (not your genitals unless you’re a woman by birth.) I promise I won’t run you down. Just drive by. Only kidding I’d be happy to help. Just call. Dial your international access code and then 972-800-382-5633. Pretty easy to remember. 972-800-FUCK-OFF

Somebody told Beer Jew to kill himself and then wrote Namaste. Beer Jew, are you really Jewish or just trolling to make Jews look bad in the eyes of the goyim (Gentiles) and reinforce their stereotypes of how despicable and disgusting they are. If you are Jewish, you should forgive me. Your country will be taken over by Moslems in 20 years and you may want a place to flee. I know people who lived in dhimmitude, that wonderful second class citizenship, the religion of peace gives non Moslems. It wasn’t fun sixty years ago. It’s a lot worse now. Half the young Moslems of your country want Sharia law. If Israel is still around and I haven’t gone to the grave (where a lot of you’d like to send me) I could put in a good word for you at the Ministry of Absorption for new immigrants. If you’re not Jewish the G-d of Israel has an endless supply of punishments for scum like you who defame His Holy People, or so I’ve been told by religious Jews in this country.
Namaste.
Ram Dass (aka Richard Alpert a former Harvard professor who got fired along with Tim Leary for their LSD experiments) concluded a two hour talk saying, “In India when you meet someone or part from someone no matter who, you say Namaste. It’s lost most of its meaning but the true meaning is, I honor that which is God within you. I honor the light within you and who you really are.”
I worked with a guy who probably drank himself to an early grave. His motto was if they can’t take a joke fuck’em.
Namaste Motherfuckers
