If this is too personal tell me to stop Roland00 Send a noteboard - 04/08/2016 02:56:34 AM

On the personal side my son is out of the Marines with ill affects. He is the one who made me a grandfather and is working to try and move to New Zeeland. I'm not to happy about that but I respect the spirit of adventure it takes to do it.

Does he have any idea what he wants to do if he enters New Zealand as an occupation?
How are things with you?

I am currently looking for a job and I hate the job search, and it stress me out. I am one of the people who get really stressed out about this subject for it is one of the things where thinking and doing really has no control of the situation, for the situation is concrete but you do not understand how it concretes until things just come together in a way you can't really foresee until stuff just comes together.

It is a feeling of lack of complete control, literally anything can happen and you do not know where the certainty is going to be in the future. Aka it feels like I am building a world out of invisible bricks, bricks that act like legos but are 12 inches, by 4 inches by 4 inches, and they weigh several pounds. Furthermore these legos are flying around and you can't see them, but when they hit you in the head or in the gut they have substance and form and hurt a hell lot.





















View original postTrump was horrid choice but the far left agenda being shoved down our throat by the modern left wing fascist is worse and not I don't think using fascist is hyperbole.

It is hyperbole not because your feelings are not legitimate, but because your word choice is not descriptive but instead is a word that lacks communicative depth so that it is easier for other people who do not have your point of view to recreate what you are thinking exactly and see things from your point of view.

Put another way, imagine you have a vector, vector is 3 things. Direction, intensity, and the location of the original point. Well your language is hyperbole for we see the intensity and some of the direction (but the direction is still not fixed but instead is a question of probability) but we have no clue of where you were standing prior to the vector being unleashed. This is the literal definition of hyperbole (an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.” Why can't it be taken literally for you do not understand what is being communicated)


We have thought police attacking anyone who doesn't agree with them and an out of touch and out of control media and university system trying to help him.

Perhaps instead the problem is not people being combative but instead people seeing only their point of view is legitimate, instead of trying to imagine how someone else can see the situation from a different point of view and then ascertain whether the other person may have some legitimate criticism.

Is this a problem with tactics, or is this a problem with perspective, with empathy, and a problem with overconfidence of your own point of view?


A relatively weak federal government with more local control is one of the reasons this large and diverse country has worked and I think the left need to and force their beliefs on the rest of the country are destructive to point where they endanger the future of the country.

This is human nature, and has nothing to do with left or right. You seeing it as a left issue in my mind poisons your understanding of what is happening. You may be right that the left is the more immediate of the two things in the near future of how the country will be changed, but human beings try to control all of reality instead of just being mindful that is probably better to try to control their immediate neighborhood instead of being arrogant and try to control the whole entire world including parts they do not see.

Yes it can be destructive.

Human beings are beings who do not always think things through when we explain our dreams to the world. We assume our dream for a better place is the same thing as our wish / our solution to obtain the better world. We do not think of the ways that our wish may not work, of all the things that could go wrong that we have not foreseen yet.

The only way to solve this problem is to get more data from outside people, people who will challenge our points of view in a way that is constructive and we do not feel threatened when this occurs.


































Everything else is going pretty god, just turned 50 and all the important parts still work.

Pretty god or pretty good or right now it feels like both

I may be too forward with what I am about to say and if I am wrong please correct me and understand I meen no ill will behind any of this.

But part of what REALLY pisses me off about Donald Trump is not just the racism, and not just the sexism, and not just how he treats other people with things like fraud, bullying etc.

Part of what really pisses me off about Donald Trump is so many people thinking the solution to all the problems is becoming a jackass, a pain in the ass, and just digging in your heels.

Yes the establishment has failed you, and it is alright to seek out to burn down the establishment. But burning down the establishment will not fix the world's problems that are the core reason why you are angry.

No only action and institutions will do so. Burning down things will not fix this, it is the seeds that you planted prior to burning down things. The seeds that grow up in the chaos you are about to unleash 1) which will either fix the problems, 2) try to fix the problems but achieve an outcome similar to the status quo, or 3) be even worse than the status quo.

Getting everyone to agree to stand in the same place will not fix the world problems, no what will fix the world's problems is actually come up with solutions instead of just winging it, and coming up with solutions and then convincing people who are distrustful of you to take a chance and do a leap of faith and try something new.

Pretty much I tire of the magical type of thinking that many people have right now. (Wow this last sentence can be interpreted in a very hyperbolic manner even though that is not my intent.)
