It happens to me all the time. I admire the fortitude with which Heresiarch seems to just be able to handle it all. For me, on occasion, I just have to turn my computer off and pretend that the world doesn't exist. It is easier to disconnect here in China than it would be in the US, and I definitely take advantage of that.<BR/><BR/>It pisses me off on an enormous level when people are wrong about Judaism, but I have learned after so man years that there are just a lot of stupid people out there. They have the same power I have, they can look shit up on Wikipedia or go to a library or something, and there's a reason why they don't. If people really want to know the truth, they will. And if they are too lazy or too disinterested to figure it out, then they just piss everyone off.

I wish I had something more groundbreaking than that to offer, but alas, I don't. just hang in there and make sure to get to sleep eventually, in spite of the st00pid people on the Internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-8792075979191862102008-06-22T17:15:00.000-07:002008-06-22T17:15:00.000-07:00Those are good points!

Some random thoughts a.) not everybody has time to learn about everything. b.) the govt. spends huge amounts of money to teach people things and a large part of the public doesn't even understand those things. c.) Ideas can take a long time to spread: I'm study linguistics and can tell you that most of what's taught about grammar in school is wrong. d.) The existence of ignorant loudmouths is an unavoidable consequence of right to free speech, and easy ability to spread ignorant nonsense is an unavoidable consequence of the same technology that gives us the ability to spread our ideas. I don't think this gives any answers and isn't really comforting, but maybe it can give a bit of perspective?ACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643809450938135601noreply@blogger.com
