I said nothing about "losers". I don't know what you're talking about.

Your post 74.

Not sure how someone with no self worth would be anything but a "loser".

Don't worry about it though. It's just your own thoughts and words.

 

[Belk]

OH, NO NO NO NO NO. Don't make this mistake. People ARE government. If you think of the word "government" you may associate it with mental images of white buildings with Greek columns or stacks of papers, but buildings and papers don't make decisions. Like soylent green, government is people.

The government is made up of people yes. But if you consider the job I do to be superfluous does that make me a bad person?

I don't know exactly what you do, but I haven't called anyone "waste".

No, you just called them "people who push paper around to accomplish nothing". Sounds a whole lot like waste to me but if do not feel that to be the case you obviously know your intention better then I.

I stand by what I said. If you have a so-called job where you feed off the public teat and do nothing useful, i.e. you're paid by the taxes of the person who works at McDonalds, it would be more respectable to be the person who works at McDonalds.

I don't know what job you do, and I don't want to ask. I don't know if you're superfluous or not. Maybe Elon Musk will find out.

No, you just called them "people who push paper around to accomplish nothing". Sounds a whole lot like waste to me but if do not feel that to be the case you obviously know your intention better then I.

Again, I'm talking about the people I'm talking about, not everybody.

So your point is:
If you're terrible at your job, I have less respect for you than someone who is good at their job?

OR do you have a bias against government workers because they are all useless? I don't think it's that cause you seem to be saying "not all".


What are your opinions of your crappy coworkers?

 

[Johan2222]

This post is not a reasonable response in the discussion you were participating in. IF all you're going to do is throw yourself a pity party while accusing others of whatever you seem to be accusing them of, there are other fora here that allow you share your personal story.

You're arguments aren't that strong. You're just repeating yourself. Your convictions are strong but they don't seem to match your willingness to discuss in good faith.

You seem passionate which is good but if you are going to stay around, your incredulity over people not agreeing with you is juvenile and you should engage them in discussion to understand them (at least) than with accusations in your VERY first post directed at them.

Well you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that but if I might correct you also on a few issues in no particular order, they are these.

Firstly that you think I am seeking pity for anything at all reveals your utter misunderstanding of the purpose of my introduction.

When Paul wrote the account of the adversity by which God had blessed him, do you honestly think that he was doing so because he wanted pity?

Can you not see that he was doing it, even rejoicing in it, knowing that it had brought him “the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby”?

Can you not see that he was doing so to reveal another powerful evidence of the confirmation of his wisdom, knowing that without chastening we are illegitimate children. Hebrews 12.6-8.

If I say to you in response to your approach above;

“not true I am not a glutton and I am not a racist” will you not consider me utterly mad, knowing that you said nothing about me being a glutton or a racist?

If you don’t think that I should show incredulity at such insanity, I doubt that you and I are going to get very far together, but please don’t pity me, for if that is the kind of person that you are, I know you shall be as happy at my departure as I shall be at leaving.

If you think that I am here to please men, especially men who utter falsehoods and argue in deception, then deny any wrongdoing, then hopefully you will know that I am not the servant of Christ.

In fact, if I discovered that every single person on this forum was like that, it would not bother me one iota in leaving the forum, I assure you.

If in fact that be the case, I hope and pray that I am ejected from the forum very soon in abundant reviling and hatred.

Did Elijah feel any loss at being separated from the 400 prophets of Baal?

Did the disciples feel any loss at being separated from the Sanhedrin or the Pharisees or the Sadducees or the vast majority of the Jews?

How many righteous people did Elijah find in Israel in all of his travels?

Is the love of men not cold in the last days?

Is the generation of the fig tree not old?

It is not incredulity my friend that you see in me that I have found the love of men to have grown cold. It is expectation at the fulfilment of prophecy and the reality of that certainty that you have somehow mistaken for incredulity.

It is you who are incredulous that I have answered according to truth, for when someone opens up a dialogue with me by accusing me of things that I have not said and then saying not true in response to them I can only point out their error and the fact that you are incredulous about it should be of great concern to you.

If you think my response to someone who does those things and says “I have done no wrong” is not advocated by scripture then you and I shall certainly not be of the same mind and without wishing to cause offence I shall not be offended or disappointed by our lack of fellowship in the slightest.

Sorry if that is an offence to you.

AS I recall, your first post in this thread contained a scribe about the challenges of your childhood...and it seemed only tangentially related to the thread.

"Do I honestly think that.....". No. I honestly don't think that....because I have absolutely no idea why youre writing this.

Dare I be so bold as to suggest that maybe, JUST MAYBE, you are not Paul.

If I say to you in response to your approach above;

“not true I am not a glutton and I am not a racist” will you not consider me utterly mad, knowing that you said nothing about me being a glutton or a racist?

Ok. I understand this.

If you don’t think that I should show incredulity at such insanity, I doubt that you and I are going to get very far together, but please don’t pity me, for if that is the kind of person that you are, I know you shall be as happy at my departure as I shall be at leaving.

Well you didn't delineate, nor at any point make CLEAR what you now describe as "insanity". So yeah, it all seems like incredulity to me.

If you think that I am here to please men, especially men who utter falsehoods and argue in deception, then deny any wrongdoing, then hopefully you will know that I am not the servant of Christ.

Honestly, I'd assume you are on CF to enjoy a nice little chat and maybe talk about politics. I have a feeling the internet may not be a very happy place for you though. And BOTH sides of the political spectrum will suggest that if that is your rubric, CF may not be for you either.

If in fact that be the case, I hope and pray that I am ejected from the forum very soon in abundant reviling and hatred.

Understand that if you get booted from this forum, it would be because you broke forum rules not because you "pleased man".

Did Elijah feel any loss at being separated from the 400 prophets of Baal?

Did Frodo feel any loss at being seperated from the Fellowship?
You seem to be coming in here and making it clear how totally different you are from everyone else here....but guy. Youve posted like 5 times.

It is not incredulity my friend that you see in me that I have found the love of men to have grown cold.

Look. I gotta tell you that if you "find the love of men to have grown cold" it's because you are boarish and treat people with great judgement and poorly. You can blame other people like many "tourtured geniuses" do, but it's it could very well be on you this whole time.


You remind me of a student I have on the ASD spectrum.

 

[Belk]

LOL! Local government. I am safe from Elon's influence for now.

Again, I'm talking about the people I'm talking about, not everybody.

OK. Fair enough. That was the sum total of my concern. Be well.

 

[Bradskii]

Well, that's weird. I just tried it again and did get 404 for each of them this time. Before, I could even download the datasets. I opened one just to see if it was about same-sex marriage and that was included.

This is disturbing that the government is censoring this data access. I wonder if they will purge the data completely.

Yeah, still 404 for me. And I'll bet they'll purge it completely. It's a new world where gender identity no longer exists and Ukraine invaded Russia. I mean, just what in heaven's name is going on?

Trump and his goons don't want kids being humanized and learning empathy, obviously.

Sounds like some staffer likely didn't fine-tune their questions enough when trying to have AI do their assignment for them.

I say that because, according to The Hill:

A spokesperson for DOD Education Activity told The Hill the department is reviewing its current policies and instructional resources in light of recent executive orders from President Trump and Department of Defense guidance.

“At this time, we are conducting a review — no materials have been permanently removed from our school libraries pending completion of the review. During this period, materials under review will have access limited to professional staff,” according to a statement from the department.


So, it sounds like they used some sort of mechanism like AI, and probably didn't ask it specific enough questions, and it returned a list of the books, and now they're going to manually review the automated output.

The simpler, more parsimonious explanation is that it's not just an AI bug, it's a feature of a regime that regularly attacks intraceptive emotions and dispositions like empathy, pity, or consideration. The fact that there's a hamfisted dragnet in the DoD like this just shows the lack of care and concern about the effects of their policies. So it's a feature, not a bug.

The way the DoD works, don't count out malicious compliance. "You order us to do it that way, we will do it that way. If we follow your orders and it crashes, don't blame us."

That's quite possible as well...

Working in the IT field, I've worked with a number of developers who do that sort of thing just to "prove a point".

A client or internal account exec that they aren't particularly fond of asks for a change to an app, and they do it with the vaguest possible interpretation to make it backfire on purpose.

One example from just a month or two ago. A dev was working on a UI change and had their own vision for what it should look like. Account Exec comes back with "yeah, but the client mentioned they wanted the text to be a little bigger for the vision impaired people who may use it, and they want this section moved to the bottom right instead of the top right, so let us know when that's done"

Dev bumps the font up an almost absurdly large size, knowing it'd push the other section off the bottom of the page for smaller monitor sizes, and when the complaints naturally came in, it was the bitter, aloof "What? I did exactly what they asked for, I wanted to do it this other way, but they insisted I change it"


I assume that's the kind of thing you're referring to?

Somewhat, but not exactly. In the military, it usually comes after the leadership had been warned there would be "unintended consequences." Remember, in the military a "crash" is a real thing.

You remind me of a student I have on the ASD spectrum.

The fact that you can only draw tangential parallels with what is blatantly obviously connected does not surprise me in the slightest.

After all, you can’t even see how Paul’s commands instruct us to imitate him.

1 Corinthians 11:1 NKJV
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

1 Corinthians 4:16 NKJV
Therefore I urge you, imitate me.

Seeing the language he uses is so elementary, perhaps consider playing hooky from kindergarten a little less often.

Why am I not shocked, despite your manifest ignorance of scripture, that you are wiser than God and able to teach us how Christ was lying about the love of many being cold in the last days?

Matthew 24:12 KJV
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Do you honestly not know the clearly obvious identity of the fig tree, Mark 13.28, or that her generation is old now?

Knowing survivors of concentration camps saw normal society as fat when they were liberated and that tall people see everyone else as short maybe consider reevaluating your own standards with regard to love.

After all, if your own personal measure is the bottom of the sewer, from where you also accuse Jesus of being a liar, that would certainly explain your delusion, probably even to the special needs students you like to malign behind their backs.

Does it seriously not register with you that anyone who condemns someone else’s behaviour and then publicly uses one of their own special needs students as a comparison to issue what he considers to be a mental insult cannot really be considered someone who is in touch with the meaning of basic morality or decency?

Did you never read about what Jesus thought of hypocrites?

Do you write to your students parents and tell them that you use their children for the butt of your depraved comparisons?

Have you never read 1 Corinthians 1:27 oh wise teacher?

If you think I walk through the zoo and attach any significance to the taunts of screeching baboons babbling unintelligible nonsense, you would be wrong.

For someone who shows such utter ignorance about the word of God, you sure have some pretty strong opinions about why you think people should be coming onto Christian forums, and seeing you are comfortable claiming that Christ was a liar, I can only thank God that you don’t agree with much of what I believe.
