At this point, however, I would much rather sit in traffic, naked, eating glass.TheBigHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917973198063733316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-47460033526231559892017-05-24T16:17:05.484+09:002017-05-24T16:17:05.484+09:00Glad to know we agree.

It was not at all meant as a criticism of your post.TheBigHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917973198063733316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-53111087823347915912017-05-24T16:00:23.239+09:002017-05-24T16:00:23.239+09:00Your hatred is understandable, and there's roo...Your hatred is understandable, and there's room for it in the worldview I've laid out, I think. The final sentence in the main body of my post is aimed more at people on the left who reflexively shout, "Racist! Bigot!" as soon as anyone starts in on Islamic terror and/or immigration. The shout-down as a substitute for reasoned discussion has become a huge problem on US college campuses, too. Rational exchange of opinions and logical debate are far better alternatives to the retarded barbarism we're currently witnessing.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-4533911523763307742017-05-24T15:38:56.871+09:002017-05-24T15:38:56.871+09:00I read your well thought-out commentary and I find...I read your well thought-out commentary and I find it to be eminently reasonable. I like being reasonable. And yet, I am aware that being reasonable is not always the "be all and end all" that applies in all situations among interacting humans. This is because being reasonable is not an absolute state of mind. Being reasonable depends on an individual's mindset, worldview, and sanity.<br /><br />For me, it is difficult to discuss reasonably the terrorism motivated by Islamic extremism that leads to the slaughter of innocents. Having survived Nazi terror, I find it much more natural to respond to such slaughter with pure unadulterated hatred.<br /><br />TheBigHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917973198063733316noreply@blogger.com
