Nothing warms my heart as much as dead islamo-fascist scumbags.
"The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets. There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutions--to cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender, the tendency to manipulate people and "experiment with blood." Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power." --Eric Hoffer
47th and 319th EOD business. Redfenders ping! FIRE IN THE HOLE!
If I had been running the robot, I would have took the arm and goosed him, just to be an asshole.
I liked the part right at the end where the guy said, "That had to have hurt".
Thanks, love it.
Nothing like the maunderings of the old Leftist Hoffer. a legend in his own mind.
An RSP twofer, the device and the a$$hat
I never heard anyone describe Hoffer as a leftist. Perhaps you can educate me on your point of view. In your opinion, what is a leftist? He wrote several books, so you should have no problem citing your claims, if they exist.
"The manner in which the word "job" lost its magical potency illustrates the irony of history. I remember how scornful I felt when I first read Marx's description of the worker's attitude toward work in a capitalist society. The worker, he said, feels physically and morally debased by his work. He is an exile in his place of work and feels at home only when away from his job. Marx never did a day of work in his life, and never took the trouble to find out how a worker really feels when on the job. He naturally assumed that workers were a lesser breed of intellectuals." -Eric Hoffer
I think Kittymyrib and Marx have something in common, I dont think Kittymyrib ever took the trouble to find out what Hoffer wrote or read the history of the man, but it is good that you and Marx both form opinions with inadequate research. Kittymyrib that is very Marxist of you.
What a waste. This guy could have had a family, done something useful for others, been productive in life, but Allah's will wasn't so. What a stupid, hollow excuse for true godliness.
This is why I hate Islam.
