This Is Why I'm Not A Mathematician...

How can I have 406 Facebook friends, 235 Twitter followers, 192 YouTube subscribers and a ton of YouTube Friends, yet only 44 people who like my Facebook page? And I can't "Like" my own page until 70 other people "Like" it. So, here I have a potential of at least (since some Facebook friends are also Twitter followers, and a few already like my page) about... let's say... (406 + 235 + 192 + 388 - 3 =) 1218 likes, and 44/1218 is about 3.6% of my "Like"s potential.

So, where I am going wrong on ganering only 3.6% of "Like"s out of "Like"s potential?

"HaTikvah"... And Gadaffi's Death Remind Me of Great-Grandma Gaydos' Own...

Gaddafi was an Anti Semite, Great-Grandma Gaydos a traitor. And I still want to apologize to the Rusznyaks who themselves and whose aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. did not get to live to sing "HaTikvah" and rejoice that another Anti Semite is gone. I especially apologize for Great-Grandma herself and her cover-upers and defenders. Our side of the family has just as much blood as Gaddafi did on his hands and as much as the Lybian rebels have on their hands until we admit and apologize for what Great-Grandma did.

East Med Sea Peace Said It Best

Or at least said it better than I did. I should've mentioned that the Putim treated Gaddafi no better than the Pleshetim treated Sha'ul Hamelekh shel Yisra'el.

Can You Imagine How Graphic the bin Laden Death Pictures Were?

The Gaddafi ones were graphic enough to affect me to think, "Couldn't they just have chucked Gaddafi's body into the sea?" They chucked bin Laden's in. Instead of being animalistic or worse than animals quite frankly, they should've had the dignity to at least remember that even Gaddafi was human-- and I guess that's what makes the US and some other countries different, too; by the way: we still even treat the most wicked and vile people with respect when they die. Remember that, also, human nature is so that none of us is better than Gaddafi or bin Laden save grace-- only grace keeps us from becoming Gaddafis or bin Laden.

The ADL and Susan Sarandon? At First, It Seemed Unusual; Then...

I came to realize were Benedict XVI a creationist, Evangelical Catholic, pro-death-penalty, pro-Israel, and conservative "pope" (Vatican City Head of State); the ADL would've never defended Benedict XVI against Susan Sarandon. As Benedict XVI is; he's even warned against believing in creationism and is a Non-Evangelical Catholic (e.g., warning against creationism), anti-death-penalty (So I guess that he's against Jesus taking the death penalty for us?), Anti Semitic (e.g., He once allowed a conference calling for Jews not to be in "Palestine".), and liberal.

By the way, at 15, he did not have to join (I can't believe that I'm even uttering the name of) the hate group known as the "Hitler Youth": he could've ran away and risked his life. He was well past confirmation and bar-mitzvah ages (given that 12 or 13 makes even a gentile old enough to be a bar mitzvah, or an adult), and he knew better. A much-older, with-more-to-lose Oskar Schindler risked his life, didn't he? Given that Benedict knew enough to know that joining hate groups even if the state requires it is wrong, he surely would've been judged for that had he lost his life.

A Rant About Education, and Some Examples

To begin, I don't see why my mom made me take Statistics. Since I wasn't going back to Notre Dame after all, and I'm not a Math major or aspiring pollster or statician; to have me take Statistics was pointless. Computer Forensics, I can see. Introduction to Corrections-- the only problem is the pompus, know-it-all, macher professor (I'll write more later; so, keep reading.). But Statistics-- as Albert Einstein stated,  "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." (Toda el I <3 Hebrew.)

As for the pompus professor (I have no problem naming names.): Dr. Traurig. I mean, the professor wants us to memorize everything from the book, for example-- forget real-world application, for which he'll actually deduct points from a student's grade; even if said student has been to a four-year college, by the way. Meanwhile, that's why I like his colleague Dr. Del Rosario better-- she gets that education isn't about indoctrination and regurgitation, but about learning and application.

He's also admitted that he might've had "too much to drink" when grading assignments sometimes, and he mocks the Bible and G-d. For example, I pointed out that Drakon and the Britons didn't come up with the punishment to fit the crime, weirgild, and lex talions: Torah did. He stated that if someone wanted to get right with G-d, they come to me; but if they wanted to deal with criminal justice otherwise (or something like that)....

By the way, I absolutely intended the pun on "macher"-- self-proclaimed maven, Mr. Know-It-All. So, he's been a lawyer on both sides (defense and prosecution), Marine (which he admitted was an intermediate sanction that a judge gave him an option of when he first started out as an adult), warden, and other kinds of executive personnel (and the Marines are a form of executors -- so there you go). He was also other kinds of personnel (e.g., a judge, I think) as well. So?

"Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. ²² For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks^[a] foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

Knowledge is drek without wisdom, and education without application. Without applying knowledge instead of just regurgating what some macher maven wants one to read from a book, you're like a rabbit eating its own drek-- and rabbits do eat their own drek (which I heard as an argument against Intelligent Design, but which is actually an argument for Intelligent Design-- long explanation).

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).
