Let us hope that the resurrection of New Orleans is accompanied by a new mindset of the White residents of both New Orleans and Louisiana, that from this tragedy a new city rises which honors a full commitment to equal rights and equal economic opportunities. The White citizens of New Orleans should choose to do this... not because it is easy to overcome that mindset... but because it is the right thing to do, however hard it is to change such a mindset. As clean a slate as could be imagined now exists to change that mindset. God willing... the citizens of New Orleans will seize upon this opportunity.

Planet Visitor II http://home.earthlink.net/~onetimeuse/dict.html Your comments are best directed at Jiggy who is intent on faulting the poor Mayor of New Orleans for much of the disorganisation that followed the hurricane AND the flooding caused by the hurricane. I agree that the 'liberals' or the 'conservatives' are not to blame for the degrading circumstances that your fellow countrymen live in. Blame slavery that has produced the mind set that 1) makes most white Americans blind to the horrors that black Americans are subjected to and 2) makes a majority of black Americans accept such conditions. Poor old Richard used to get very annoyed when I even mentioned slavery has a factor in the present day condition of black Americans but just as the way we treated the native born Irish in the 16th and 17th centuries redounds upon us today so does the way we treated Africans. As I posted on the 1st: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...f19f4bde550ea2 the main shock of this disaster to many is what it has exposed. |

You do sound like James Noles at times. Oh my word... And who did you sound like when you insisted that no one need bother to help any of our species? In your words -- /quote/ "Is anyone supposed to "provide an iota of benefit for our species"? Why should they?" /unquote/ See -- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...bac7ba10920fb7 "Providing an iota of benefit to our species" does not exactly mean "bother to help any of our species", Of course it does, you lying sack of ****. Do you really expect anyone to believe that we do not "benefit" others when we "help" them? See - http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...ionary&va=help HELP -- "to be of use to : BENEFIT" http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...ary&va=benefit BENEFIT -- "something that promotes well-being : ADVANTAGE b : useful aid : HELP" To benefit it obviously to help, and to help is obviously to benefit. And when one helps one benefits not only those he helps but benefits himself in serving his species. Of course this is an alien concept to you, as you do not believe ANYONE should provide an "iota of benefit to our species." YOUR WORDS. and the URL you provide shows quite well that, in the context of your own words ("murderers provide no iota of benefit to our species"), you were absolutely not meaning anything like "coming to help". Can you possibly read YOUR OWN WORDS? See the word "anyone"? Where do YOUR WORDS indicate ONLY MURDERERS? You asked the question... and you answered it by insisting that there is NO REASON "ANYONE" is supposed to prove an iota of benefit to our species. In other words, you are once again caught red-handed lying. Poor euro... cannot hide his own words, so needs to try to boldly lie his way out of his own use of the word "ANYONE." Look at your words, euro... because others will look at them and judge what you have argued. And what you have argued is "why should" ANYONE "provide an iota of benefit for our species," In that insistence it is obvious that you are arguing that no one should help anyone else, help any other member of our species by providing an iota of benefit to them. But then, paraphrasing Adlai Stevenson, if you stopped lying about others, you would stop telling the truth about yourself. If you stopped lying, I would not have the need to tell the truth and call you the liar that you are. Why would I want to stop telling the truth about myself? Since the truth is my reason for even responding to you is your crass uncaring attitude toward helping any member of our species. Since it came up in respect to helping the victims of Katrina, and I recall how you grew outraged that John Rennie or I would dare solicit help for the victims of the Tsunami in Indonesia. And the truth is now that I want to expose you again for lying in trying to deny you are a crass uncaring selfish adolescent, who has obviously not been nurtured to the extent necessary to have feelings for those who are victims. It is well documented here in AADP that you are to the truth as the dog is to the lamppost. Planet Visitor II http://home.earthlink.net/~onetimeuse/dict.html Euro Ummm... for this interested this is another of my posting some very destructive comments from euro, providing the exact words, a link to those words, and my opinion of those words. Not one of which he has refuted. -- [1] Your words -- "At least, Goebbels was polite in his propaganda" See -- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com [2] In an absolutely conflicted assortment of Machiavellian, ignominious, disingenuous, feckless, sophistic, and offensive, double-speak nonsense. ALL IN ONE POST. Your words -- "I made a claim of principle, that families have nothing to do with justice." "Justice concerns also the families of victims and murderers." "justice should, on the contrary, be compassion for the murderer's family" "hence the feelings of the victims' families should not be instrumentalized to justify a harder penalty;" "the tears from one side (the victims' family) cannot be compensated by the tears from another side (the murderers' family)." "I never alluded to pity for murderers, but to pity for the murderers' families." See -- http://www.google.fr/groups?selm=98e...eganetnews.com [3] Your words -- "because murderers are HUMANE, whether you like it or not." "But since murderers are humane..." http://www.google.com/groups?selm=5b... anetnews.com [4] Your words -- "Do you find that John Wayne Gacy is an animal who does not enjoy the same human rights as you do?" See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=a5...eganetnews.com You stated "And that is true." In reply to the question of John Wayne Gacy having the same 'human rights' as any innocent person. See - http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com [5] And let's also not forget how much you love murderers. When you decided to save a few hundred of them, instead of saving millions of innocent slaves. When offered the choice in a "moral thought experiment" between abolishing the DP and 'saving' all murderers from the DP, or abolishing slavery and freeing all slaves in a society that practices both -- Your words -- "That would lead me to the conclusion that I should abolish death penalty." http://www.google.com/groups?selm=c8...eganetnews.com You feel... screw those innocent slaves... right, euro? [6] In your arrogant claims that you, in your God-like belief in your own infallibility, can DEFINE for everyone what are "great moral qualities." While every rational person recognizes that 'morality' is not an absolute. Yet YOU would DEFINE as a RC Cardinal who wants to elevate an executed murderer to a role which would demand that millions refer to that murderer as BLESSED -- Your words -- "You will also note that Lustiger is, in France, one of the prominent activists for the beatification of Jacques Flesch, sentenced to death and executed in France in 1957 for the murder of a police officer following a bungled robbery. http://www.catholicdigest.org/stories/200108106a.html Thanks for giving me the opportunity to stress the great moral qualities of Lustiger" See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=dd...eganetnews.com Of course, then entering DENIAL... as usual, you denied even writing those words... when you posted "I didn't claim that "it is moral to beatify a murderer". Along with you again DEFINING 'moral values' for the rest of all humans, in your delusion that God whispers in your ear... with your words -- "Lustiger's moral values are famous" Apparently you find Lustiger 'moral' for supporting what you believe is an 'immoral' effort. But given that you've never been able to express any comment without offering a contradiction immediately following that comment... your belief that God speaks to you in defining 'moral' is understandable. You simply have some psychotic problems.. See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=f5...eganetnews.com [7] Your words in speaking of 'Collective guilt.' -- "This word is one of the concepts on which West Germany was built." http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com Using the expression that "It targets the whole German population." How bigoted can you be, euro? [8] In speaking of the death penalty -- "I actually don't believe in improvements, and, so far, in spite of all the "improvement" proposals, I have not seen anything that exclude the possbility for innocents to be executed." See -- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com Apparently, you would sacrifice any who might not be executed with any improvements... simply to justify your sadistic nature, in the support of YOUR agenda. How very similar to your willingness to sacrifice all innocent slaves... simply to justify your sadistic nature, in the support of YOUR agenda. [9] Implying that pity should not be felt for those deprived of their human rights in the Holocaust... because in your words -- "Human rights have nothing to do with pity." See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=53...eganetnews.com [10] And defending the Nazi death camps, insisting when the six death camps were mentioned, that they were all _concentration camps_ and not Nazi death camps. Insisting that Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek, AUSCHWITZ, Kulmhof (Chelmno), and Belzec were the names of concentration camps. When those camps were mentioned, you replying "If my memory is correct, the above names... are names of concentration camps." See -- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...5f2addaeb9b112 [11] And of course.. another of the 'great ones' from you -- "I don't think one makes much progress by separating non murderers (the good ones) and murderers (the evil ones)." Apparently... you conclude that we should not even bother having a justice system which separates the murderer from the non-murderer. See -- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com [12] Your words in support of the murder of 200 Spanish citizens -- "The big winner of the elections, indeed, is the Spanish people." Apparently again believing that being victimized can make the victim "big winners" in the lottery of life. See -- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...eganetnews.com [13] Your feelings that no one should do anything to benefit any other person. Your words -- "Is anyone supposed to "provide an iota of benefit for our species"? Why should they?" See -- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...bac7ba10920fb7 [14] Your claim that mentioning someone is Jewish is EXPOSING THEM as presumably having some _evil_ that should not be EXPOSED. Along with your claim that mentioning that someone is Jewish is DISGUSTING to you... in your words - "Well... because of what you post. Your original thread about Lustiger sounded very much like "Look at Lustiger... He's a Jew!" How disgusting..." See - http://www.google.com/groups?selm=37...eganetnews.com [15] Your words -- "I come to consider more and more that the election of Bush in November would be preferable." See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=su...pab ay.rr.com Believing that Bush will fail, and more deaths will result, while insisting that it does not matter that more lives would be lost with the election of Bush. As when I asked you -- "Are you claiming that you really believe that Bush will be more successful in ending the killing in Iraq, than another U.S. President?" You replied firmly in the negative... in your words "No. I am not claiming this, and you know it very well." See -- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...f250ce42993c70 Clearly... you prefer a selection that you believe will give you MORE KILLINGS in Iraq. It only matters to you that you hope to be able to gloat == I told you so == Not caring at all about those deaths. [16] Cardinal Lustiger has continued to stress his Jewish origins in public forums throughout the world. This has gained him considerable honors in many respected circles. But euro insists that in stressing his Jewish origins he is actually working for the "anti-Semitic extreme right." In euro's words -- "It so happens that those, in Europe, that are eager to stress Lustiger's Jewish origins, have connexions with anti-semitic extreme right." See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=dd...eganetnews.com [17] And you are the one who argues that the Nazis are legally innocent of killing any Jews. Trying to defend them by insisting that the Holocaust was _only illegitimate_, and not illegal. And that their idea of legality is superior to your own idea of legality. In fact, claiming you have no personal idea of legality... yet you insisted there is "legal murder." Your words - " Raising the issue from the viewpoint of legality is irrelevant, as my own standards do not intervene in the field of legality." See -- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...eb377f9f61bcdb Apparently you find the the legal issue of killing six million innocent Jews to be "irrelevant." [18] And of course, we also have your LIE, in which you state "I never compared the Nazi concentration camps with Guantanamo..." Because you certainly DID... when you insisted that "Guantanamo could also fit in your list," the list of what you called Nazi "concentration camps" (aside from your Holocaust denial that none of them were "extermination camps" for Jews). Because that clearly is an attempt to compare Guantanamo to "concentration camps" If you claimed that Guantanamo could fit in that list of Nazi camps, what do you think you were doing, but comparing them to Guantanamo? See -- http://www.google.fr/groups?selm=110...40meganetnews2 [19] As the results of a European poll showed that many Europeans consider Israel to be "the greatest threat to world peace," ignoring Arab threats and terrorism throughout the world, and while Israel is comprised of 80% Jews, Rabbi Marvin Hier , the respected Wiesenthal Centre's founder, remarked -- "This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, "hook, line and sinker", to the vilification and demonisation campaign directed against the state of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media." euro leapt to the attack on Rabbi Hier, and as so many anti-Semites claimed that the Rabbi's comments were just typical _Jews are simply whiners_, with euro's comment that the Rabbi's comment was "somewhat peremptory (but soooooooo convenient) judgement." Yes... I'm sure that euro felt there was a _big plot_ behind the Rabbi's comment, while I smelled an attempt at a cover-up from euro. See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=af...eganetnews.com [20] And following in the true Nazi tradition, in believing in the Nazi idea of the _Jews being racially inferior_, euro asserted -- "If you litterally say that someone was "born Jew", you actually endorse the opinion of those who argued that there was a "Jewish race" based on their genetic or genealogic history." euro thus calls 2.8 million Jews in the U.S. who either practice a different religion than Judaism, or are totally secular, and who consider themselves to be Jewish through a birthright, nothing more than _practicing the views of the Nazis_. See -- http://www.google.com/groups?selm=44...eganetnews.com and see -- http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_judaism.html Notice that statistics reveal that only 51% of ALL Jews in the U.S. say they are Jewish by religion. quote "A new portrait of American Jewish religious identification conducted by three leading sociologists reveals that 1.4 million Jews say that they are Jewish by dint of parentage or ethnicity but align themselves with another faith community. In 1990, 625,000 Jews identified themselves that way." An additional 1.4 million Jews -- another quarter of the population -- say they are secular or have no religion at all, leaving just 51 percent of American Jews to say they are Jewish by religion." unquote euro hatefully claims that each of those Jews, having claimed to be Jewish as their birthright, linking them to the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Jews and every persecution endured by the Jews for thousands of years, and connecting them to their family tree, the art, the literature, the music and even their separate language, are nothing more than advocates of the Nazi idea of a Jew. It is one thing to disagree that a particular person might not be seen as a Jew in one's eye, even while that person might insist he is. It is quite another to claim that NO such person exists... and that those who claim that Jewish birthright, are simply practicing the ideas of the Nazis. The latter is euro's view of anyone claiming to be "born Jewish," in insulting millions and millions of those who do claim that Jewish birthright, irrespective of any silly religion. There is no idea of a Jewish birthright in euro's view. He sees claiming that birthright is practicing the views of the Nazis. In his process he is determined to wipe out the idea of a Jewish birthright, wipe out the idea of a Jew being anything more than a practitioner of a religion. Just as surely as the Nazis expected to literally exterminate the BODIES of those who are "born Jews," euro is determined to exterminate the IDEA of a "born Jew." In both cases.. the effort is to eliminate the "born Jew." |
