Lybia Is Not In Africa.... Nor Is The Middle East...

To say that Put (Lybia) is in Kush (Africa) is Afrocentric. To say that the Middle East is in Kush is also Afrocentric. On the other hand, the Middle East is not in Asia, either. Historically, it's really its own continent. It's not a subcontinent like India and its fellow subcontinental regions, either. And by the way, since India is in Asia (or it's considered to be, though India and its surronding areas could be their own continent as well); I can tell you that but for the common humanity shared by all, Iraqis are not similar to Indians, Iranians similar to Koreans, Jews (like myself) similar to Vietnamese people, etc..

Shem and Ham divided up and then subdivided (as did Yefet) into the various 'amim v'eretzim, especially after the incident of Migdal Bavel. Once Migdal Bavel fell, the various lashonim, 'amim,  v'eretzim came about. Later, Shem, Yefet, and Ham rejoined at the pinnacle known as the Middle East-- think Togarmah (including Chaldea), Put, and Aram-- of whom Rivkah Imenu was born, which is why Ya'akov was an Arami (since Yitzchak was the first Yehudi, born of the brit with Avraham).

Gilad Shalit Is Ransomed! Captive Israel Has Been Freed (In Part)...

Whatever idiot doesn't blog about Gilad Shalit today... well, he or she is an idiot. Meanwhile, all we need is Mashiach to come (again), and Yisra'el will be fully free, have complete chofesh. By the way, Gilad did not look well, sadly looking like a better-off Shoah victim or survivor on his or her best day-- were that possible and he or she so lucky as to look even a bit well.

I Hate Getting Ready For Showers...

Because of I have Cerebral Palsy, I take five minutes to get ready for showers. I can't just get ready, get in, and get out like most people. I have to have the help of my mom-- and how good does that do for my future, anyway? Say, independence? Marital prospects? Being able to make aliyah?

*crickets*

Yeah; I thought so-- in other words, I'm doomed. You see why suicide's still a temptation?

I'm Not An ABDL, But I Don't See Infantilism As Infantophilia...

e.g.:

@southbeauty1 There needs to be a DOJ sting on (if you will) ABDL cells. These ABDLs were heinously and unimaginably abused and exploited during childhood in one or another way (sometimes more than one), and the ABDL "mommies" and "daddies" are nothing more than abusers/exploiters/neglecters who themselves need to be brought to justice and/or may themselves need psychological and/or psychiatric help.

@Nickidewbear Couldn't agree more! This is no different than pedophilia. In the law, it says it doesn't matter if the situation is real or simulated (as in creating a fake photo of a fake child edited to be in sexual acts) it's still child porn/molesting. These sickos are pretending to be children (babies) while sexually gratifying themselves. This falls within the definition of our child porn laws.

@Luka2234 I'm not sure that I agree that infantilism is infantophilia or pedophilia, but as I said: "the ABDL "mommies" and "daddies" are nothing more than abusers/exploiters/neglecters who themselves need to be brought to justice and/or may themselves need psychological and/or psychiatric help." And creating a photo of a child is much different than pretending to be one.

Infantilism is a serious problem; and while I can understand reasons for wanting to be infantile (since I was abused myself), I don't see infantilism as conducive to helping one's self with anything. As I said, however, I do not see infantilism as infanto- and pedo-philia.

I Want My Family To Understand...

I don't want especially the up-and-coming and to-be-up-and-coming generations to be like, for example, the following:

• Jack Czarnecki, an overall not-nice man and cold-blooded murderer.

• Mary Rusnak Gaydos, the direct Holocaust enabler-- and nobody has to wonder why the Rusznyaks (Rusnaks) in Tel Aviv and other places still won't talk to us.

• Janet Rozzi, who would defend such a woman as Mary Rusnak Gaydos. By the way, good riddance that Janet removed me as a friend-- I don't want to keep bad company like her; and no matter how much she and anyone else hates it, I had to bring up that Jack Feldman has Chron's and many of us have so much more (e.g., OCD, IBS, Alzheimer's, etc.) because we walked and/or are descended from those who walked away from our Jewish heritage and Meshicheinu Yeshua. That includes that we walked away from keeping kashrut for at least health reasons and from helping Vilmosz et. al. in their time of need.

• Dr. MaryAnn Gaydos and Joan Gaydos Czarnecki-- indirect Holocaust enablers. Being silent and trying to hide and/or change the story about what their mother did is inappropriate. Especially since she is dead now and already had to face her Maker for it, we need to face what she did and not repeat what she did. There'll be a day when we are all found out as Jews and persecuted, and who will help us since we refused to help the unashamedly-Jewish (even if not Messianic Jewish) Yehoshua Rusnak side of the family; especially because since they trusted us meshumadim to help them, and we became koferim in ayinim shel Yeshua and more of koferim in the eyes of them who we refused to help?

Geraldo Didn't Seem As Liberal As He's Been of Late....

How refreshing! He let come out that these "Occupy Wall Street"ers, for the most part if not entirely, are either disingenous Tea Partiers (which one Michiganian peer of mine showed himself to be on "Geraldo at Large" last night) or racist (e.g., Anti-Charles Payne and -Herman Cain), Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Republicanism people. He also let Sally Kohn and Matt Segal show, sadly, that the Jewish community in the United States still has a long way to go-- like Kohn (obviously a koheinah) and Segal (a sar shel bnei Levi), many Diasporan Jews in America don't get and want to get that one can even be a Jacob Javitts Republican and republican.

As Herman Cain talked about the "old plantation thinking", there's this old shtetl thinking that Jews must be liberal and Democrats-- e.g., look at the haredim who bilk entitlements like crazy. Obviously, by the way, even though much of my family were Jewish (and Jewish Catholic) Democrats (and still are), many (like the late Peter Chokola and his distant cousin Tony Czarnecki, Sr.) refused to let the government pamper them. As liberal as they were (or at least Tony's son Jack is... *shudders*; and Peter Chokola did help pass the "Container Disposal Bill", as I came to learn recently), they didn't let the government pamper them or anyone else.

And they're obviously like their Chernetski patriarchs-- since Peter's grandmother was a Chernetska-- I think, or how else would he be Great-Granddad's once-removed third cousin? In other words, they're very political; and they're part of where I got my sense of, as Marvin Olasky speaks of, "compassionate conservatism".

Geraldo learned and is relearning from those like Jacob Javitts, the Chokolas, and Marvin Olaskly-- and Charles Payne and Herman Cain. I should also add, by the way, that Geraldo is learning too that those who have the "plantation" and shtetl thinking are sadly taking seriously the Oprahesque and URJesque mindset to believe in one's self instead of G-d and to have someone else do one's social justice work for him or her.

Dan Wheldon Was a Somebody In This World, Which Is Why He May Be Nothing In the Next...

As for the Steve Jobses and Unix creators, who knows? It depends on what they believed-- they sure did change the world, though, instead of spending their days going 225 miles and an hour on what could've been track or cross-country-practice paths for K-12 and college kids.

The ones who'll be something in the next world, either way, are the American and other Allied military members who put their faith in G-d and Yeshua every day-- especially if (like, for example, Yeshua Himself did) they chose to lay down their lives for their friends when (as Toby Keith once sang) "dying [was] asking [them]" (and they "[bore] that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free"). They'll be the third-world indigenous and other people-- always including children under the age of accountability-- who died at least hoping for better than this world-- even if the Gospel never directly came to them or reached their sight, hearing, or any other sense.

Besides, much of what he said wouldn't make me want to have known him in this lifetime or the next.
