  What Should Be DONE about it!

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a hypothetical place to start, let's assume it was an arab group in support of the palestinian movement.. this is however pure speculation as there is no proof whatsoever to indicate such.. lets begin by removing the idea of right and wrong, that is simply a subjective thing.

  each of us always thinks that ourselves and our country is right and the others are wrong.. is it wrong to kill 5 or 10 thousand people to repay for the lives of their own countrymen and to attempt to regain their own country back which was robbed from them?

  i personally think so, but that is my subjective opinion.. also, we have to remove from our minds the idea of 'civilian' vs 'military' target.

  Americans and Terrorism

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this terrorist attack has been a long time in coming!.

  the us has for a long time prided itself on being virtually terrorist proof and it has made concerted efforts to bring various islamic groups onside in the past 10 years.. however, it is also obvious that because the us has the supremacy in military hardware that terrorism is the only recourse that many countries feel able to follow if they feel repressed or attacked by the us.. us hegemony is global and is objected to by many countries and in many instances it keeps smaller nations and their people in poverty.. also, religion plays no small part in these events because the us is by and large seen as an immoral country from a strict religious position.. what has happened in the us today and may even happen in my own country (we are a us ally) is in actuality not a lot compared to many hundreds of thousands who have died in less media covered events.

  this of course does not lessen its impact, but at the same time in ladonnas post on love, it shows that many times from our point of view we feel that we are hard done by only to discover that many others are far worse off than us.. my thoughts and bew's too go out to all those injured and the families of those killed, it is indeed a very sad day in the usa.. on an even sadder note, i noticed that although our prime minister, john howard was over there, they failed to get him.

  Superficial People

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  superficial people are a little like goldfish.. they have a 3 second memory.. once they have eaten their fill, they go looking for more.. they are generally a little stupid.. they have a 3 second memory.

  life consists of looking around for the same thing all the time.. they are unaware of anything outside of their tank.. the world really does revolve around them.. they have a 3 second memory.. if you try to hold them, you will find them to be slippery little suckers.. you can have some fun with them for a while, watching them is fascinating.. they take work and effort to keep.. they often look attractive, but dont have anything inside.. they have a 3 second memory.. .

  No more hiding!!!

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, here is my real picture.. i have decided to stop hiding and show my real face.. i hid behind an artificial facade (data) for a long time, fearful of facing the consequences of deciding that my former beliefs were incorrect.. i made the concrete decision in march of this year that jehovahs witnesses do not have the truth and in fact that they were totally wrong.. however, since i have been inactive for 5 years and i do have some people that i care about still in the organization, i decided that i would not reveal who i was so that i did not lose my friends and family.. however, i have now decided to be who i am and my change in my picture icon represents that change.

  the consequences are still the same, and i am likely to lose most if not all of my borg friends, but that is the consequence of my decision.. no more hiding for me .

  Judgmentalism

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  people are judgmental, this is a fact.. in fact it is a human quality that allows people to grow and become better throughout there lives.

  we judge what happens and log it away for future use.

  often times these things are so subconscious that an automatic trigger forms and we simply react to a new situation based upon something inside which tells us what is happening.. if we get burned by a hotplate, then forever we judge hotplates to be at least somewhat of a danger to our skin.

  Why DO they stay?

  by BugEye in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is much discussion of the "dumbness" of those still in and the reason that they stay.. some of the reasons that i have seen are:.

  they want everything in black and white.. they prefer to leave thinking to others.. they are scared to be shunned.. they are just ignorant souls who are on the "opium of the people".

  they dont want others to think bad of them.. while i agree that there is no one single reason and that everyone is different, i feel that the real reason is a much deeper one.

  joey's teacher sent a note home to his mother saying, "joey seems to be a very bright boy, but spends too much of his time thinking about sex and girls.".

  the mother wrote back the next day, "if you find a solution, please advise.

  i have the same problem with his father.
