You should've made the quote "Varg Vikernes" instead, as I didn't write that and by quoting it with my username it makes it seem as if I personally wrote that.


That was...the joke...nevermind.

Burzum:

"There is no such thing as a genus. "

A. Quote from my fanatically Chomskian professor [he did not actually turn toward MIT and bow though I have sometimes said so] : There is only one genius in this field.

B. Yes, I can read and spell. And genus, tribe, clade, species are all artefacts of their particular taxonomic model. Individuals exist / individual items exist - the universe exists - all but the integers and the objects quantified and qualified is the work of man.

Please revise:

I suggest "There is no category corresponding to the Linnaean genus in the taxonomic model I use"

I have no idea what point you are trying to make. I was simply parodying the all too commonly used phrase "there is no such thing as race, we are all human", with the logically equivalent phrase "there is no such thing as a genus, we are all hominins".

Sorry - the point could have been serious, I once heard an academic say "there is no such thing as a Frenchman". Sounds much the same, and since my paleontologist brother will not speak to me long enough to say if the Standard Model still includes genera, I just have to guess.

If it is any comfort, many of my humorous sallies and parodies fly over the plate without getting near the bat.

Immigration isn't good or bad, it's inevitable. National borders are imaginary lines, and imaginary lines will be crossed continuously.

Gypsies have no fixed location. This seems a more natural way of living than being tied to a house or apartment.

What remains of what you call the "nanny state" won't hold. But neither will belief in perpetual economical growth. Right-wingers have their own political correctness, simplistic memes like "supporting the troops", "America is the greatest country in the world", etc. etc.
Both left-wingers and right-wingers are prone to large-scale collectivist thinking, but right-wingers lie about it more, also to themselves. You're not really "ruggedly individualistic" in your oversized truck and with your gun unless you mined the required metal from the earth yourself and molded it into said truck & gun, which you yourself invented. In reality it required cooperation between very many people for these things to exist.

You should have the legal right to protect your solitude as you see fit, yes. Quite perverse that this isn't the case.

I can't find the link but there was a case recently of a terminally-ill female householder living alone in an isolated area who was receiving death threats by travelling thugs who marched onto her land, cutting at trees with a chainsaw. She objected to this and they threatened her with a knife and a chainsaw. She rang the local plod and told them that she was worried and genuinely scared (and armed). They found out that she had a shotgun and disarmed her, leaving her defenceless whilst not dealing with the original problem.

It's Tracy St Clair Pearce (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Tracy+St+Clair+Pearce&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=Tracy+St+Clair+Pearce&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=ivns&ei=JuTGTfqCN8GHhQfGloH4Aw&start=10&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=263951646445c969).

In fact, that's the case in Britain generally: pick on people who are law-abiding and generally behave themselves whilst not dealing with the problem.

as*holes. This is why I'd rather grab a gun or a bat than a phone. Unfortunately she grabbed the phone too early and these dicks punished her for even daring to defend herself.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the only statement I've ever heard regarding contemporary Roma People. Besides that, I know they were persecuted almost as badly as the Jews by the Nazis and probably worse in general.

So would somebody explain to me what Antiziganism has to do with this discussion besides some people's desire to advertise the fact that they are useless white trash?

I consider myself to be rightist, my mom is, however, sympathize with the left, she believes that the previous socialist regime that prevailed in Poland to 1989 in spite of its flaws was better for ordinary people.

My mom says that under the previous regime for sure I would get a state pension because of my Asperger syndrome.

Recently I tried to get state pension for people who had disablity or have poor helath, from ZUS (Polish Social security agency) because of my Asperger syndrome, but that was denied , and they said my that i should find a job, but I can not find a job :(

My mom said that PRL Polish People Republic was lot better, but i'm happy that i live under democracy.

I'm hoping that if i will finish my master degree on Library Science, maybe i would find a job on library or start PhD study and get job on my university.

Center-right. Left-wing politics make economic growth impossible in the long run, which is why the Soviet Union could only grow strong by taking stuff that didn't belong to them.

Firstly, assess what skills and interests you have, and then see if you can find the sort of job where you can put the skills and interests that you have to work. --If your skills are insufficient for what you want to do, utilise the money you get into accquiring the skillsets required for what you want to do.

As far as right wing or left wing, I consider myself neither. --I consider myself to be libertarian.

As far as the socialist regime in Poland is concerned, I think that it's rigid central planning scheme helped make Poland into a borderline 3rd world state, as happened with all of the other former socialist coutries, with perhaps the exception of what was once Yugoslavia, but it's also pretty clear what happened there after Tito died.
