For those of you who believe that the U.S. and its allies are the sole reasons for killings across Iraq and Afghanistan:
please do see my post here.
I wish the assholes that speak about how “horrible” and “inhuman” the IDF is, actually see the whole picture.
It is hard to fight an enemy that insists in using little kids and women as human shields. What kind of cowards do that? Well, all the fucking jihadi assholes do it. They are so fucking coward that they don’t event have the courage to go head to head with us infidels.Fuck them. Fuck Hamas, fuck them all.
And next time you read in the news something about an Israeli soldier supposedly killing civilians, check the whole picture first. Verify. Most likely you will find that it was either staged by the terrorists or a motherfucker coward threw a little kid into the firefight.
The same happened non-stop in Iraq and in the Astan.
Cowards.
^THIS. I love the IDF. I think they’re the shit.. I just wish people understood that they have to fight for their survival every day. They’re surrounded by people who want to kill them and try to kill them on a daily basis. Keep doing your thing, Israel. I’d come over and help myself if I could.
Still undecided about the geopolitics of the Israel-Palestine issue, but I know humanity when I see it.

Inadequacy.
I almost always have this feeling of inadequacy. It’s almost the default position for me whenever I begin something new or when I self-examine myself about something.
As I mentioned in my e-mail to Howard, I think I have a bad case of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. From Wikipedia:
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.[1]
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, “the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others” (p. 1127).[2]
I think my self-diagnosis of inadequacy is partly due to this psychological paradigm (for the intellectual genre, at least). As I told Tina once before, I’m one of the most intellectually insecure people you’ll ever meet. I’m always stressing out if the position I’m espousing is the correct one. I’m almost always wary (not to be confused with complete aversion) to heated discussions not only because of the personal attacks which usually ensue, but also because I’m afraid of being “ripped apart” by the opposition. That I could’ve been wrong this entire time (however, I’ve never considered this isn’t a bad thing; more on this later).
People, I think, no matter their affirmations and / or portrayals of toughness, are, at least, annoyed by personal attacks. However, I think I’m more impacted because of my upbringing in a deprecating Asian household and the concomitant cultural clash. I take compliments less seriously than criticisms, the latter which I inordinately emphasize.
I know I don’t know anything about foreign policy (relatively speaking). I know I don’t know much about domestic politics. Etc. Which is why I feel intellectually incompetent.
Inadequacy, at least for me, is something which permeates every aspect of my life. It’s not solely intellectual inadequacy, social inadequacy, or athletic inadequacy. It’s all of the above (to varying degrees, of course). Is it a lack of self-esteem? Is it the fact that at times, I feel so damned lonely (and during these times, my inadequacy in some of these areas is exacerbated)?
But again, I can choose to live in the past. Or I can choose to live in the present. The past should be a teacher, not a master.
Now comes the hard part: implementation. Anybody who would be able to give advice on this, I’d appreciate it.

Has anybody
ever been following somebody on tumblr and forget who they are (and nothing on any of their pages reveals their identity)?
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Finally,
finished writing that response to Howard. Two-and-a-half hours. One question, to myself:
Why didn’t it feel like it?

Defecating on stage, Masturbation, Mutilation as Performance Art
One such case of face-melting political art came in 1968, when an Austrian named Gunter Brus decided that he would challenge what he felt were the fascist free speech laws of post-war Austria. In a student art exhibit at the university of Vienna,Brus proceeded to perform “Action Number 33” wherein
The artist, standing naked on a chair, slashed his chest and legs with a razor blade until the blood trickled down his body. Then, urinating into a glass and defecating onto the floor, he smeared his body with his own excrement, drank the urine, and stuck his fingers down his throat until he vomited. Finally, he proceeded to masturbate in front of the audience while singing the national anthem
Brus was arrested immediately after this, preventing him from completing an encore to his performance piece which I assume would have involved him cutting off his own penis with a dinner fork and then using it to play the theme from Seinfeld on a slap-bass.
He was sentenced to 6 months in prison for “disturbing the peace”, prompting a public debate over free speech in Austria and proving the old saying that if you want politicians to listen to you, cover yourself in poo and masturbate in song.
