Hit by typhoons
2004.10.21 1:26

here i tell u, japan is not a tropical country. usually moderate climate, but especially this year, this tiny islands country has been hit by big typhoons ten times! i hope its not the direct result from a global warming, though, think! in a part of the world war between people never cease...( i mean a lot of explosion causes evapolation of water and...consequently) i want to agree that human activities bring only slight changes of climate, but when we reflect what we can do in order to reduce the total quantity of evapolated water, which will cause the formation of typhoons, again what can we do? we use air-conditioning when we feel hot and cold. in order to reach the destination with ease and in speedy, arent we using cars? suppose all our daily life were related to short-term climate change, actually what can we do? the answer is nothing. its sad though true...
Here is a secret room for my past posts.
# QED
Geo, never nind, there are some people who take things beyond the limit of our imagination, just let them say what they believe... Back in my school-days, I made it a rule to solve at least 10 mathematical questions in a day, which takes 2 or 3 hours. It lasted 4 or 5 years. Now my job has nothing to do with mathematics, but I often encounter oppotunities to feel those backgrounds really helped find solutions for what it seemed difficult to deal with. To put a QED in the last line of proof is different from the usage of 'obviouly', in social matters, there're 2 or 3 other alternatives, so saying 'obviously' only matches what they think it's obvious from everything what they acquired in their past. As to non-Euclid geometry, I think it is other than mathematics. I would rather keep the world of mathematics as I can always put QED in the last line of proof, asserted proof.
Oh, I'm sorry, in my imagination you were a swan on the ground, which means an only hope in this real world.
#Depends, Misdemeanour or Felony
In the case of misdemeanour -doing harm with no intention accidentally, they are punishable less severely than the case civilians did. In the case of felony -commiting crimes deliberately, they are punishable less leniently than the case civilians did.
#Perception, Recognition but not Contradiction
In Flashback, I took a form of monologue, while this time you took a form of record. Interesting contrast. Mines are a products of my selfishness, whatever I think however I say, it's my business, none of other's business. While I noticed, since we encountered someone in this site, we expressed our view, they did thier view too, we exchanged idea, we learned to compromise our idea, or rather embrace their idea. When we found good point from thier view, we adopt some of their views into ours. After some time we exchanged our views, we noticed ours are in theirs and theirs are in ours, nurtured into another form of recognition. As for contradiction you mentioned, this is an important part of our perception - we never percept the idea as others did. In other words, we percept things as we wish. It seemed contradicting but inside our/themselves, we were perceiving in accordance with our/thier order. And from another viewpoint. Inevitably, contradiction occurs, we are changing, our views are not what we addressed two days ago, changes occur because we learned not contradicted.
#Letter from America
Oh I see he's been teaching in another college. .. I rarely heard economic journals from you. ..I mean geo you. I think I have a say to Mr Tsurumi, but not you -geo. Thanks for the link.
#Let's Think Positive
Space programme is not only meant for military defence purposes but for astronomical, cosmological ones, generaly first many new technologies were developed in military defence use and later applied to 'peaceful' purposes. Humans never stop exploiting scientific frontier till we find McDonald's in Mars.
#Geo, what did you eat in breakfast?
Geo, what did you eat in breakfast? Your answer may be bread and coffee, but perhaps potatoes and milk. It's not important whether you ate bread or potatoes in breakfast. Same thing applies to our sexual preference. Some love women and others love men, it's all depends on individuals. All are right and nothing is wrong. In other words, sexual preferences are no more important than whether we eat bread or potatoes. Marriage is a legal matter, there are no civil and religeous ones for this term. If a man wants to marry another guy, let them do in a civil ceremony and it might be considered as valid in some religion. Good. But in law, marriage is capable of being held only between opposite genders with their free will. People live two phases of life - one is private and the other is public. Their public figure has nothing to do with their private life. Absolutely no relationship. So someone who practicing only gayness in their private life still can be opposed to 'gay marriage should be allowed in law' position in public life. If you find something wrong in this statement above, what do you think about ' someone who practicing only heterosex in their private life still can be opposed to 'only marriage should be held between two opposite genders' position in public life ' . By and large nothing is contradictry let alone wrong as far as we abide by law. Geo, tolerate them ...
# Boy!
I will answer each of your questions. Does employing Mr Finkelstein detract from the credibility of politicians who oppose gay rights, if they didn't know he was gay? No. I want to ask why as opposed to your question. Does working for politicians who oppose gay rights detract from Mr Finkelstein's credibility? No. both politicians and Mr Finkelstein are credible enough. Not in the least and far from it. The more the fact he is gay, the more all their(Mr Finkelstein and 'conservative 'politicians') credibility increase. Mr Finkelstein says he is a "libertarian", not a "social conservative". Apparently that enables him to collaborate with his oppressors. I cannot understand your usage 'apparently'. There's no relationship between two statements. Should conservative politicians, who opposed gay rights, reconsider their positions, now that they know that a prominent colleague was a gay man? Again, no. By the same reason above I mentioned. Should it surprise us that the conservative movement is full of closeted gays? No. Personally, it still does catch me unaware. Of course gays are entitled to hold conservative views, and conservatives are entitled to realize they are gay. Right. But, if they really believed in democracy, wouldn't be open about their gender preference, or at least wouldn' oppose, in public, what they embrace in private. That's the problem, geo...I think you understand..everybody knows to steal is a crime then if we stole something, can we admit openly we committed a crime of stealing? As far as negative image along with gayness in society continues, anyone cannot admit openly they are gay. Again whether we are gay or not is a trivial thing. Let's forgive and forget negative images of homosexuality. It's nothing worthy to talk about.
#Often Truth Makes us Unhappy
If there was someone who read Bible at age 6 and published first thesis at age 16, keep on being called prodigy throughout his school days, then the one noticed people are walking a bit distant from him.. if there was someone who published several works before coming of age realised no one understands him any more.. It's en extremely serious problem for the one in order to be able to continue staying in a society since the one cannot change himself, so around the age of 20 the one learned to hide himself who really he himself is, sometime later people start calling him an ordinary person. Then he for the first time in his life started feeling secured. The ones are so accustomed to hide himself and it never occurred to him that he reveal who he is. I'm talking about someone hypothetically, but I understand the feeling how he feels as well as the feeling how homosexuals feel on their 'weird' gender preference. In entertainment world someone openly admits he is gay. But when it comes to political world, no way.
a special responsibility falls on homosexuals involved in politics
You buy them too much, they are just the same as an ordinary citizen. As a whole an ordinary citizen forms a majority of this society. They keep on kicking out what they think it's weird - homosexuals, prodigies, etc. -we call this a structure of exclusion, it's so severe. Remember what I said in our professional duty. Though it might not be an ideal though, many cases truth has to be hidden. Only after the harsh trial of time it will reveal by itself. Truth does not always makes us happy.
# Keep Away from Buggery
More power to them.
If you have read Pentateuch, you would noticed Moses was standing against sodomy and dragqueen. Sodomy here means anal intercourse, in other words buggery. Sodomy is dirty, untidy, unhealthy. It might transmit contageous disease, infectious disease. At the beginning of the widespread of AIDS, the anal intercourse thought to be the reason of transmission. There's a hypothesis -a lot of injection of semens from rectum causes the breakdown of their immune system that end up causing being liable to HIV. So sodomy was prohibited exercising. Whichever toilet a dagqueen comes, they will cause trouble. There was apparent reason why sodomy/dragqueen ought to be evaded. In the case between opposite genders they don't particularly have to use this tiny pit. Because she's gotta muff. The problem is in the case of male lovers. Basically there are two ways of love affair - one is mutual masturbation and/or oral stimulation, which I say 'light petting', and if their relationships keep on deepening they sure to try having an anal intercourse, because love is mental as well as physical, naturally they start being eager to be united through their sexual organ and pseudo-organ, anal. They are sure to get ill unless they use protection. But usually protection prevents us from having a perfect satisfaction. So in the case of anal intercourse always follows such risks as infection, disease, etc. But in sex between opposite genders, there are many ways of contraceptives - onanism ( withdrawal before the ejaculation ) is best and I am a guy in 40s, I am so accustommed to having sex with a woman, I can manage this practice well well enough to feel satisfied. As you suggested, if they had more powers, we would have more patients of not only AIDs but other very conventional diseases such as penis infected by colon becteria, digestive disorder caused by semens absorbed through a wall of rectum, etc. You might say ' If two men do protect well, it is preventative. ' But always love seeks for perfect accordance, for two who love they will ignore these risks. Since love is blind. We cannot overcome the negative image of gayness and we don't have to, either. Gayness is dangerous enough for us not to practise even one time. It is the same as social illness, unnecessary evil but we oughtn't to sweep out this evil, either. Those act -sweeping out is more evil than gayness itself. But we have to be aware of their having more power, which only invite further confusion of our society.
The article I quoted implied that he had helped to craft those anti-gay policies.
Even so, what's wrong with you? I think nothing. Betrayal from the eyes of who - if we were pro-gay, yeah it's betrayal, but in the end he did just his job regardless of his gender preference. Sometimes we've got to do our businness despite the nature of our job, again there's one thing in private while the others are public. No relationship.
And, if someone has a secret life, I don't think they should work in politics.
Gay people have to refrain from entering political life, which only causes further trouble. Please enjoy in their own community.
#Leave it to MH42 and me
Because we are very accustomed to deal with a guy like him. You and XopherMV are very good friends of mine, at the same time both of you are fans of my journal. Both of you are very important people for me. I don't want both of you to have bitter verbatim with him. Honestly, if you cannot evaluate his comments, just ignore. Then if you think it's worth while to respond to his comments, then reply. Please do so. You believe or not, he is a very intelligent person, and to make matters more complicated, his opinion represents what just ordinary people think of matters that are thought to be controversial among intellectuals. Ordinary people are simple and clear. We cannot overcome their opinion because their opinions always form majority of people. When it comes to his opinion, we'd better try to 'read between lines'. He knows there's huge chasm between words and reality. We tend to believe words can explain everything. It's a little bit hard for us to deal with a very intelligent ordinary person like him, there are many people like him among ordinary citizens, almost all of them are not just as talkative as him. He is one of the excellent person in that he is very pragmatic and amazingly enough he is at the same time talkative. Please keep silent, he will keep on making comments on your JEs from now on too. Leave it to me, I will take care of him in the interest of you and XopherMV, my fans. However, in general we've got to always be aware of what ordinary citizens might think.
#Re:Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day
Many people have just ceased thinking of any reasonable things any more, his idea and opinion just represents the majority of the society, nothing strange.. We have to get accustomed to dealing with a guy like him, it is not easy though, unless we cannot change the opinion of majority people, actually nothing won't change. To talk with him becomes a good practice on how to deal with unmovable strata of society, it is not useless. When we deal with a stopped clock, we ourselves have to move around the clock so that we can see things from various viewpoints. At least twice a day, we can find they are correct, and that'll be an enough compliment for them.
