Well he ain't the brightest bulb in the knife drawer.
So what we have here is someone on the same intellectual footing as Biff Tannen.
That's as funny as a screendoor on a battleship.

Just One More Question
[derail]I'm not refering to DJJ in any way. A few years ago, when I lived in a small town, I was in a bar and exchanged a few words with a local. He finally said "I guess you think I'm some dumb country [Rule 8]hole." To which I replied, "no you'd be an [Rule 8]hole anywhere, infact as an [Rule 8]hole you have world-class potential." I don't remember much after that, I experienced what the UFOlogists call "missing time."[/derail]

As Ali taught us ...... Rope a dope or a NOPE... anyone else afraid to hear what happenned to the principal, the teacher and the mayor (who was also the school trustee on the school board) that promoted the pro-suicide book.
Come on someone be brave enough to want to know cause and the eventual effect. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, or if you like reaping of what is sown.
I realise most of you are in a dream world where your actions and words mean nothing, but maybe one of you is a true researcher and wants to know what happenned to them in real life.
Name names, then I'll be interested. But since you won't, I'm not.

I would have to know the name of the book first to do proper research into the matter.
Is there an article about the incident you can link to? Since you seem to think it affected your community so dramatically, it must have been covered by at least your local paper.

One of them is a law of physics and the other is a (debatable) moral mantra.
They're not entirely comparable.

True!
But... with an oposite reaction! Think of twoofers, as an insect that eats it's home. A wooden house if you may. They may eat some of the house, but they wake the owners, and get removed! We are the owners! Stronger reaction, yet well deserved.
Everyone, is it me, or is this just not making ANY sense. It's not even a proper sentence, let alone a conveyance of logical thought, as far as I can tell... "Devoid" isn't even a word, is it? (Unless he's from Joisey, and he meant "divide"...)Apart from the appalling grammar (e.g. you use the word "who" or "whom" when referring to people, not "that"), this is still illogical. I wonder if DJJ knows what HE means.
[everybody sing along!] ...know when to run! You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done!
Ah, wasn't that refreshing!
Is this the start of a rude joke or something? Sure you want to go that path?

"Devoid" isn't even a word, is it?
Yes, it is
Devoid:
Pronunciation: di-'void
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, past participle of devoiden to dispel, from Anglo-French *desvoider, from des- dis- + voider to empty -- more at [SIZE=-1]VOID[/SIZE]
: being without a usual, typical, or expected attribute or accompaniment -- used with of <an argument devoid of sense> <a landscape devoid of life>
But beyond that, yes, he doth spout gibberish.

As Alareth pointed out it is a word, but it makes absolutely no sense in the way he has used it. Here's some correct uses of the word:
The Bishop was devoid of mirth.
We were all devoid of hope, until the space ship arrived.
The entire truth movement is devoid of truth, and devoid of movement.

The only reference to "Essays of the Future" I found was in passing metion of a book on mathematics editied by a Dr. Rota in this article (PDF)
I'm leaning towards the DJJ is lying through his teeth about the whole thing opinion.
Yes, it is
Devoid:

Yes, I realised that after I posted. It was just that DJJ's gibberish managed to spin me out so much that it failed to register with me!gumboot said:

That doesn't mean what you seem to believe it does.
You sure do like to lie about things and then provide only the vaguest "evidence" to try and cover up your lies for a "true skeptic".
Do you, by any chance, believe that this was a non-fiction work? You seem to have drawn you definition of the word "goyim" from it or those who believe it was based in reality.

Yeah, I hate those people. Likewise, the pro-robot-attack people have no integrity whatsoever.

On the other hand, if he keeps his ear to the grindstone and his shoulder to the nail, he'll be sure to come out head-over-hills above the competition.
