RR Thanks for taking that much trouble to present that much details but my observations has been that you quickly call others stupid and sheeples because they stand in a line you don't approve of or present an opinion you don't approve of or anything you don't approve of but this first time you said it is up to god to make the judgement?

Stan, I don't know what you are referring to. It depends upon the context it which it is used. I do stupid things all the time, which are generally things I do without having given much thought or with insufficient information. The information was available but I didn't take the time to do the research. A stupid person does not take responsibility for his life. A stupid person lets other people do their thinking for them because they are lazy and/or because it relieves them of taking responsibility for their actions. A stupid person thinks only about himself and is greedy and envious. A stupid person fails to learn from his mistakes and keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. An 'A' student in school can be both smart and stupid at the same time. They are smart because they get good grades. But all that requires is parroting back whatever they have been taught, whether it is true or not. Quite often what is taught in school has little or no value in the outside world and can even be detrimental. Knowledge can be valuable but is totally worthless without real life experience. If this were not so then all college professors would be millionaires when it fact most are broke. A smart person takes full responsibility for his life and his actions. A smart person thinks for himself. He studies as much as he can about a subject with an open mind and combines this with real life experience before he forms a strong opinion about anything, and he is always ready to change his opinions when new facts present themselves. A good example of this would be the subject global warming. I used to think it was real based on the facts that were available at the time but now I am somewhat doubtful. The scientific method is to develop a model based on the past and then test that model to see if it performs as expected in the future. In the case of global warming the model failed miserably. A smart person knows and understands his limitations. He understands that anybody can be brainwashed including himself and that we are all brainwashed to some degree. A brainwashed person has no control over his actions. He has been taught to react a certain way to certain words or situations. This training is wired into our subsconscious minds and is extremely difficult to overcome. As a survival instinct it can be beneficial but it can also be very harmful. You can usually tell if a person's reaction to something to due to brainwashing because it is always an emotional reaction. This is why religious and political arguments often become very heated. Religious beliefs and political ideals, especially political parties are nothing but dogma, brainwashing and herd mentality. As for judging people I was referring to moral judgements. I suspect that my moral values are to some extent a product of brainwashing. If that is so then I have no right to try to impose my moral values on other people. -RR -----Original Message----- From: dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: May 2, 2014 5:26 PM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: Origin of the word "racist". RR When you call one or more people stupid is that your opinion or god"s? Comrade B In a message dated 5/2/2014 9:11:02 A.M.

I have had two courtroom experiences in my life. One was when I was renting a house on a 5 acre plot of land. I was at sea for a couple of months and when I returned discovered the bitch landlady had not only thrown me out but confiscated a brand new refrigerator and other furniture which she claimed as payment for lawn and other maintenance she did while I was at sea. I found a Christian lawyer to help me get my stuff back. He assured me that what the landlady did was totally illegal and agreed to take the case without any payment up front. When we went to court and it was time for me to testify the judge said to make it quick because he had already decided! He awarded everything to the landlady. My lawyer's jaw dropped. Even he said he couldn't believe it. He told that had he known we could have paid extra to have a court recorder and have the judge sent to jail. The second time was when I got busted for possession of marijuana along with a Jewish friend of mine. I was really worried. I would have lost my seaman's papers if convicted. My Jewish friend found a Jewish lawyer through his connections who played golf with the judge. When we appeared in court and our names were called, the judge mumbled something to the balif and our smiling Jewish lawyer told us all charges had been dropped and we were free to go. His parting words were "Try to stay out of trouble! But if you can't then you know who to call, (wink)! There are a couple of ways to interpret this. Fortunately for my sake I am open minded and a quick learner. I have opinions about how corrupt the system is and who made it that way but they're just opinions. I don't judge other people. I leave that up to God. -RR -----Original Message----- From: "D.J.J. Ring, Jr." Sent: May 2, 2014 1:56 AM To: "sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: Origin of the word "racist". In fact I did that tonight! I said to someone who had a Jewish doctor who attended Hebrew University on Mt. Scopus in Jerusalem. I said "I like Jews" and them immediately called me racist! They wanted me to retract the remark. I could not understand it. I just like Jews, I enjoy the way they think even though leftish Jews are really confused, a right thinking Jew is a marvel to behold. They are clear headed, bright, willing to look at new ideas and ways of doing something, often making a hybrid that's even better than the new way by mixing it with the old way. 73 DR a newly minted racist because I said "I like Jews".

It's amazing how people can be brainwashed into believing anything. It makes having open discussions a joke. -RR The word "racist" has for a long time been the single most effective fear-word in the leftist and neoconservative arsenal. For decades, they have successfully used it in the political arena to slander traditionalists, shut down debate, and leave opponents running for cover. In the social arena, they have caused even more damage by using it to brainwash impressionable children and young college students, and to teach people to hate their nation, their cultural traditions, and worst of all, themselves. What surprisingly remains almost totally undiscussed, even on the hard core traditionalist Right, is the word’s origin. Did it come from a liberal sociologist? A 60’s Marxist college professor? Perhaps a politician in the Democratic Party? No. It turns out that the word was invented by none other than one of the principal architects of the 74-year Soviet nightmare, the founder and first leader of the infamous Red Army, Leon Trotsky. http://redicecreations.com/article.php?id=29984 .... .... ....
