WATCH VIDEO RESTORED: Muslim who murdered Paris policeman and his wife says he was motivated by Islam

Sooner or later that is going to happen. Enough gets to become too much. When it does, it will be impossible to contain.

Government has stopped representing the people who voted for it, an started thinking of the citizen as a “factor of production” this will not last. When the dam bursts there will be a social revolution that will sweep a lot of existing systems into the gutters of history.

Thank heaven we do not get all the government we pay for.

Absolutly, it is happening again,m now, with a predictable outcome if sanity does not prevail. Which I am somewhat dubious of, as power, not money is what is driving this latest attempt to “take over the world” by the clinically insane, specifically islam.

The result will be the same, islam fails when it confronts an armed prepared opponent. The only successes islam has ever had, is when they attacked weaker targets, or used treachery, to attain unsustainable objectives.

Western governments have gone too long without a real “crisis” to manage. Now that the colonization of europe is slowly begin recognized, these amateur administrators, of which the Americas are the most rank of all amateurs, wring their hands, lying furiously to try presenting the illusion of control. All with the incompetent assistance of an stupid lame stream media. When the lid explodes off the pressure cooker of lies leaders grunt, there will be hell to pay.

That is the problem with atheism, it has no values, nor does it respect the values of others, resulting in human life being a disposable item.

That is the problem, those with morals an ethics dealing with or having to be dealt with by those who lack any any, makes for a difficult time. Some times a bit of “righteous wrath” has to come into play.

About the only guideline would be “let the punishment suit the crime” .

It is reasonable to do appropriate penance if a person is sincere about atoning for their transgressions, then there is forgiveness. A few times I have been forgiven and allowed to forgive, to me the sensation of sincere foreignness is as close to heaven as I expect to get while alive. Would like to forgive my x, but it refuses to have anything to do with me.O well, to the degree possible, considering circumstance, it is forgiven.Wonder if it will ever forgive me… for doing nothing?

Over the years I have found holding grudges to be of no value. People I didn’t like and probably still don’t, I leave alone as they do me. Given a choice. I would prefer not to offend, but I am weak, and do so out of vindictiveness, vengeance and just because. However I try to “forgive” even if not asked for and am still offended. When I get offended, it is usually over some definable incident, when it is over I usually forget about it as I do not have time to dwell on anything I consider a waste of time, that often includes other people’s nasty opinions of me.

There are people who constantly look for offence, even where none is intended or sometimes even possible. They spend their entire lives, like the “dwarves” in a mental prison of their own making, once they get older, they find it impossible to change, because even if they wanted to, they can’t due to habits they refuse to modify or drop. O well, it doesn’t take all kinds, we just have them. Once identified, they can be poke with sharp sticks or ignored, it’s all good clean fun.

Sometimes there is no choice but to deal with a bad situation as best one can with what’s available. It is bad when grudges go on that long.

Blessed are the peace makers. In north America, a “peacemaker” came in assorted calibers, with .45 being popular. Fortunately there are alternatives these days, though in some cases, I am afraid that the old system may come into play.

That is one thing good about living on the edge of civilizations, in addition to pushing it back every time it rears it’s ugly head, one can do a few things. Slowly I an divesting my accumulation of firearms, as I no longer hunt, only target soot occasionally. Still, I find having a gun somewhat reassureing, as are the Japanese throwing knives kept on my night table. Yes I am paranoid, I got it honestly. There used to be several girls who hunted around here, we are all getting older…

Starting to think that shooting the modem this computer is attached to might not be a bad idea. The note you sent just arrived, time stampeded an hour ago.

You are right, I need a exorcist more than a musket.

Can’t really tell which end the problem is on, suspect it is both. Time to light a black candle, bury a bucket of fried chicken and dance naked around it until the candle is burned out, then dig up the chicken and eat it. That used to work for gas locked oil wells, might do for locked computers?

One of these fine days I am going to do precisely that. This is getting ridiculous three restarts today, the “Atlas” website is locked up solid.

No, I think it is sloppy programming by disqus, they are getting very heavy in useless banal advertising that I personally never look at, suspect that a lot of the problem is targeted marketing that is running on subroutines( wow am I ever dated) that clash.

Most ads are blocked, but some get through, the occasional one turns its audio on, which really annoys me, if it was for a product I bought, I would stop, based solely on obnoxious advertising.

The older I get, the more annoyed I become with advertising, as it is mostly, if not outright lies, part truths, selling garbage that has no legitimate practical application other than “pride of ownership”. What I want I’ll get, what I don’t have I probably don’t want and don’t need. Most advertising is wasted on me, as although I do some “impulse purchasing” is is not much. Usually I use advertising to decide what not to by, based on irritating messages.

… you got me thinking, I remember seeing an ad for a water sprinkler advertised about ten years ago , that I actually went out and bought based on needing a new one and was reminded by the ad. Other than that, maybe to odd display in a grocery store featuring something I would buy anyway.

One can appreciate a job well done, those doing so, are doing it because it is their contribution to making the world look better. They are appreciated, by those who can appreciate life.

To me, that is art. Not the garbage that alleged artists spew on audio or visual media for the sole purpose of being controversial. Most people ignore them, only like minded fools pretend it makes a statement, it sort of does, that the artist is a vulgar fool. Whereas something displayed with some thought to what it is and how it looks, can make a statement that is appreciated, enjoyed and remembered.

Art has been infected with socialist fools trying to make a statement, usually that reflects the perverted ugliness of what is inside them. A real artist lifts, exalts and defines ideals. Contemporary artists are garbage collectors, with limited talent ability.

The old saying ” A fool and his money are soon parted” is proven with art sales today.

That is a good question, people with money are generally not fools, maybe he inherited it. Have seen that happen a few times.

Same here, I once told my parents I wanted to get wealthy the “old fashioned” way, they thought that was a good idea, untilI explained that I wanted to inherit a fortune from them. The “builds character” comment came up… again.

Before the internet, after retirement, I thought I would take all sorts of “for audit” courses at various universities. Fortunately I can find out what I want without having to move to a university town. Suppose I should retire completely one of these days, but the odd project comes up that is sort of fun.

There is much in favour of the inter web net thing. The only part that I am not fond of is the excessive commercials, and censorship on social media sites. It annoys me to no end to have someone with an agenda that I do not support, telling me what I can and cannot read. That is why I like “disqus” as on many of its sites, there is minimal censorship.

At one time I almost joined face book, but it wanted more personal inflation than I am prepared to give to an insecure site with phoney security, that is know to have “oops’s” which release users personal information to the world. Have had problems with too much personal information on the internet, I think I have it straightened out, but never again will I try to be completely honest. Too many people try to take advantage of that.

Even as a teen, I was a young scrawny monster beast. Now I am an old wrinkled moster beast.

On a good day I can out wrinkle a dried peach. Have to stand up twice to cast a shadow, bra’s are wishful thinking for me.

There are advantages to being flat, in that one does not get back problems from being over balanced. In the industrial settings I have to occasionally go, it is convenient to be able to get into some tight places, then get out.

My cardinal rule is “dress for comfort, not style” with was not much or a problem a I have spent most of my working time in an industrial setting, even with “girl” cut coveralls, one still looks like an umbrella with a few cantaloupe stuffed in it, in some cases, as with me, more of pot holder.

Well, if standing on a box, wearing high heels count, I can approach medium height. One advantage is I don’t have to walk all the way to the end of the cloths rack when I go shopping.

One thing I cannot stand is tight clothes, for one thing,they are hard to get out of. Getting in is a contortionists nightmare.

Are you sure we aren’t sisters? There is a lot that we mention that was never brought up before, but is common ground, so to speak. If it wasn’t for dna, it would almost seem possible.

All I am, is like the label says “Made in Japan” it is interesting to see the apparent similarities we have.

Hybrids have the best of everything. Purebreds lack genetic diversity.

If I had any Jewish blood in me, I would be thrilled completely, but so far there is no evidence that any “lost tribe” of Israel ever got to Japan. O well, can sympathize, that will have to do. There are many obvious similarities between nazis and muslims, that anyone with a functioning brain cell can see that they will cause problems, that require affirmative violent solutions, as some people cannot be de-programmed. At a slave auction, I would be in the “bargain bin” for shopworn and wrinkled odd sized merchandise.

Probably both get bought by some average muslim, who will use us to herd his goats.

Yes once again I will be tossed aside like a worn out love in favour of some smooth bleating goat with a big udder.

The older I get, the more inclined I am to put up with my idiosyncrasies only, no desire to “play house” be an object, or have to rely on some guy, who expects a gratuitous reward for every little thing. Having someone, like you, to talk to about words and ideas, is very fulfilling, hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I do.

This is working out very well, nice to take a break from the usual atrocities on the forum. Thanks.

There is always something to deal with. As I once gave a lecture to a group of engineers on the advantages of the triangular wheel over a square one, that being it eliminated one bump.

When dealing with the hard sciences, it is really hard to tell jokes, because most students are so”zoned” out that they have no concept of what exists other then their immediate focus.

There you go, showing your age through your language. Here I had to learn anachronisms, you lucky people got to see them in actual use. Todays geek, or so I’ve ben told. From my personal experience with moderators, I can believe it.

Well,,, there is an exception to every rule, you would be the exception to the moderator rule, being a good one. How’s that for me desperately back peddling? My grandson was listening to me and a person I once worked with rehashing old war stories. He didn’t say much until later when he realized granny was not always a quiet little old lady who was reasonably innocuous a lot of the time. He was utterly shocked to know that I was one young and rangtangctious, considering the circumstance, of course.

Thanks, I do not want to insult you through my ignorance. “Rangtanctiious” and “perfesterous” were among some of the things I thought I was learning when I learned engrish, turns out there are questions as to the legitimacy of those words, but, I still use them as they get the meaning across.

Occasionally one must invent a sniglet, for no other reason than to kick literary evolution one step further along.

The dictionary is only a book of suggestions and generally accepted descriptions. There is no reason it can’t be adjusted as required. Language is a growing changing evolving thing, that is the only way it can remain useful. Latin hasn’t changed in centuries, it is basically useful only in specified “ferinstances”.

There is nothing I like better than watching nature display that it is boss, through meteorological phenomena. Had a very mediocre electrical storm a couple of days ago, got a good view of it from a restaurant, well worth the price of admission.

Being that close to a lightning strike would be impressive. If observing carefully, even the seemingly most boring place is interesting when a closer look is taken. A friend of mine’s brother goes to the southern part of the provence, where there is precisely nothing, to all outward appearance, then watches bugs for days at a time. If one does not watch t.v one has to make ones own entertainment.

If a person has any appreciation of the world around them, there is always something to do. As my father mentioned on occasion, when I complained about being bored, “boring people are bored” he was right.

Sounds familiar. Occasionally I got assigned to do something that was more painful, than boring. Eventually I leaned to amuse myself, if bored, to keep quiet about it.

Things were very conventional around home, everyone had their place, and stayed in it. The only time I was in the kitchen was when I had a bad report card from school. That allowed me to to do the dishes until next report card came out… did a lot of dishes for a few years.

Could well be that out parents despite coming from somewhat different cultures, both had some workable ideas as to how kids should be brought up. Eventually I figured out that if I was doing homework or reading, I could get away with much more than any other stalling or diverting attempts.

True, there were several variants, all worked quite well.

Look how we turned out. It isn’t how things start, it’s how they progress. One must show a certain amount of disrespect in order to be properly respectful.

Had something similar happen while sitting beside the creature I eventually married, our legs touched, scandalous for the day, as people actually saw it.

They became more tolerant after we were married, then it was ok.

Precisely, a year after marriage, there were a lot of disappointed people when we remained a couple. My parents liked x more than they liked me, I am sure.

Funny how people become indignant when they can’t be judgemental or self righteous.

About the same time people stopped asking, we started replicating.

… no, I don’t think I will think about that, it has too much potential…

There is no fool like an old fool. Though I must admit to having serious misgivings about “marriage” as I will only recomend things that I have found performed satisfactorily. Marriage, for me, was a failure, I do not take kingly to failure. “Commitment” is better, as I find it to be more inclined towards honesty.

At first our relationship was that way, we seemed to be the only people that understood each other. Then… I really don’t know, attributed to hormones and over familiarity I supposed. In any event I am not happy with the result. Though I do like my independence… sorta.

Sometimes, I would give a lot of tomorrows for a few select yesterdays, that is maybe what heaven is all about?

If only it were possible…

Might be quite “heavenly to select a time and place, then stay there for as long a part of eternity as one wants.

It would be a pleasant way to spend part of eternity. Or, for now, a few quiet moments of happy meditation, contemplation.

It works for me, a fe minutes of “contemplative meditation” at the end of the day are a nice way to run things down before shutting them off for the night.

At the rate I have been going, I may have to consider speeding up a few things. Maybe.

My ability to accomplish anything depends on getting into it and getting it done, I tend to loose focus if I spread things out, then the blanket of thought develops distraction wrinkles, which sometimes lead to new concepts, other times, bumps.

At one time I always had a few more projects than I should have, on the go, eventually I came to my senses. Defining things by what they aren’t, is a way of giving the illusion of accomplishment, but leaves the definition of the situation open.

A nice Chateauneuf-Du-Pape and an aged filet are great too.

I reached that state decades ago and read current events in old time black and white with no graphics.
At any rate your avatar would give this old geezer some kind of attack.

No, Atlas is part of our problem.

Definitely not, have noticed faint colour fluctuations in background of pages, it looks like some advertisement is constantly running whenever a page is opened. Suspect that might be the culprit.

All they do is annoy me about as much as the advertising for stuff I can’t force myself to get interested in.

When I look for something like that, I go shopping to see what is in stock, as if everything I ordered over the years showed up, it would fill a tractor trailer delivery truck.

Oopy my presumptuousness has done me dirt, yet again. From what I am told, migraines are very little, verging on no fun at all. Hopefully there is something that will work.

Motion sickness is a misery. If I read in a moving vehicle… I can’t. Neural imprinting would be great, if it worked.

Another reseach-o-mercial to extol the virtues of the nonexistent. Those are particularly annoying.

Every time I read the medial it re-validates that it is indeed the “lame stream media”.

Yes, it has been lame for so long that it is now defined by that term.

Lame and media are easy to remember.

That might very well explain the problem. Nice to have people who are more informed than I am! Have you seen the Cyber Trojan Horse that’s been installed at Tel Aviv University?

Now there’s a thought to brighten up a grey-and-going-greyer winter’s day in Auckland!

Good. How much influence do you have with Mr Putin? You mean the flag bathing suit had info on it in microdots or invisible ink?

I am trying to work out: do I simply feel uncomfortable about Mr Putin because of the long history of the Cold War or is my deep-rooted distrust of the Russians only because they’re mostly (to me, anyway) unknown & unfamiliar? I do not want to be unfair to Mr Putin and the leaders and people of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as many ex-muslims see him as a saviour-type against the islamic threat. What do you think?

Did the permission specify 100 years? Or did it lapse after 100 years for other reasons? I studied theology so I know a bit (the absolute minimum) about the Mennonites. I am, of persuasion, a Methodist (because I like John Wesley’s understanding & interpretation of Scripture). However, as a Methodist, I also underwent adult baptism and I am by nature a pacifist. Also, as a Methodist, I do both personal, individual and group BS.
Full agreement on Mrs Merkel.

But look, I never knew all this about the Russian Mennonites who’d come from Germany and are now (those still living) in the USA.

It does. From what I read of what’s happening in the Middle East he is indeed doing it (I esp. liked the photograph of the Russian Army Orchestra giving a concert in the ruins of Palmyra). However, there’s often so much spin applied to reports that I’m never quite sure what and how much to believe.

I also worry about the president of the USA declaring martial law, so that he can continue in power. How possible is that?

All it can be.

When dealing with a human opponent, you have the advantage. With animals and muslims, one needs an advantage.

Because these governments are corrupt and have less and less in common w/democracies than they do w/tyrannies.

Those who live by the sword will die by it, which suits muslims just fine, as islam is a death cult. The problem comes with those who insist on turning the other cheek, resulting in getting their heads lopped off. Nowhere are Christians told to submit to demonic insanity.

No one knew what was going on until after it happened. There is a problem with people recognizing a problem, then getting sufficiently organized so as to effectively deal with it. Going with the flow, is how criminals manipulate conditions in their favour. Western europe today, the progressive value of not being seen as a bigot, racist or islamophobic has resulted in the destruction of major european indigenous cultures. In a few years, humanity will look at today’s events like we look at the holocaust and holodomor, wondering how those involved could have not known what was going on and why they allowed it.

Already too many have died, while the weak socialist multiculturalists debate whether anything is really happening or not. There will be a reckoning of leaders,, eventually, hitler, stalin, pot, napoleon an others will have a lot of contemporary company.

Personally I think these murders will have to go to each individual victim and get forgiveness before their fate can be determined properly. It is right that those committing crimes, should apologize to their victims sooner or later.

Heaven can wait…

Suspect that it is an ongoing process. Even survivors deserve an explanation. The humbling of the arrogant is a necessary thing.

When it says that we must account for our actions, there are some people that are going to have a lot of accounting to do. . Your comments are coming thorough at irregular times. Your comment is time stamped and hour ago, it arrive a couple of minutes back.

It is things like the way the internet behaves that give credulence to evil spirits and other such superstitions. There is probably a perfectly good reason that time ceases to exist when we exchange messages. Must ask a couple of teenagers who used to stare into each other’s eyes for hours in coffee shops, but now text each other for hours across the same table, as to how time loose relevance, following a random pattern, electronically.

Times, they are a changing, I remember when the radio was the most remarkable thing anyone had ever seen, then, along came t.v. Now, the kids are presented with technical wonders so often they are an expectation, nothing exceptional. Actually I liked being amazed by radio,

Thanks to an electrical phenomena known as “negative feed back” very high degrees of amplification are possible. Probably something better now, I am dating myself with anachronistic terms.

That is the precise reason why people spend a lot of time and effort to extract the secrets of nature. There are some things that technology brings that are actually priceless. When I look at my iphone, it currently has dozens of books I am reading, a few hundred songs, a photo album, a research library as well as a standard one, a camera, recorder and stuff I haven’t bothered to look at yet. It is as amazing as the first radio ever met as a kid. If a person would have had one of these 50 years ago, one would have been accused of witchcraft. Life is amazing, the grass I plated a coupe of months ago is now over a foot high. Spent two hours looking at it this afternoon. Must get the grand son to mow it.

The kid who owns the house now, requires a fair bit of nagging to get him to mow the back yard around my “flat rock” so I get the grandson to come over and mow it occasionally. For a while I though ipads were great, until I started using mine more, it is quite limited, not worth the high price, there are cheaper models from other manufacturers that are just as useless, but at a more reasonable price. Tablets do have place, but one has to decide it that is really what a person wants. In my case, it was largely a waste of money.

Although I like apple products, for the most part, take a look at the new windows based tablet. I like to have multiple screes open at once, maybe new ipads can do that, the one I have is a one trick pony.

Be very careful to decide what you want, with tablets, think twice, spend once.

There are a lot of very interesting and useful “apps” available for tablets and iphones. The keyboard on my tablet is small, but ok, the iphone is too small, the stylus’s are clumsy, I managed to loose the rubber tip out of one, finally I gave up and allow extra time to type, Newer models have a synthetic voice that will read to you. My spoiled kids have them, it seems to work. This old hag still uses a #4 or whatever it is, has a crank on the side to get it going, I think.

True, but sometimes the apple “Siri” application is useful. Was travelling with someone who has an iphone with “Siri”, it talked us right to where we were going. Sure beats stopping and consulting a map.

If that means too lazy to read a map or ask for directions, yes.

That is true, considering the size of the desert, they should have crossed it in a couple of weeks, back then.

Only till God is ready. Then the waiting is over!

Precisely, that has been frequently demonstrated.

To pray for the salvation of another’s soul, is surely acceptable.

From what I read really vast numbers of muslims either convert to Christianity or choose to become atheists during ramadan, for that is the time they pray to allah to give them dreams and vision of himself. As long as we Christians pray for their souls during ramadan, it seems fine to me. Many report that waiting for allah, they had visions of the Christ. That’s the one single sure cure for jihadism.

I have not met many, but I know the immense danger they are in, once they convert out of islam. Then, as before, our prayers should carry them. The website of Open Doors, documents the horrors they live under.

Fully agree. Even Mo thought he’d been attacked by a demon in his cave. It was Khadija and her uncle who persuaded him that was a prophet.
