Ran into a snag with my podcast website, and am unusually busy of late. In the meantime, a pause that refreshes: Diana West's recent essay.
Her brief essay, glittering with verve like a searing sword, operates on two levels: it generally expresses her appropriately jaded, acerbic bird's eye view of the Problem of the Problem (i.e., the problem of the entire Western mainstream persisting in its myopia about the primary problem of Islam, with its head in the sand whilst standing lip-deep in the brown waters of De Nile; a feat of a mixed metaphor possible only for those who indulge in a mass neurosis and who thus sustain an incoherent paradigm). And it focuses on one glaring symptom of this mass neurosis -- the dismaying devolution of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

So, you mean working out the technical details of having me on the podcast for a debate?
I am worried about synching the jam, but I'm also worried about pairing the tones....
You're a folky rhythm / acoustic player (see, I can be nice) and I think the best pairing tone I can provide is my PRS Hollow II through the modded GT Soul-o 75 for a lead tone. At first I thought Tele, but I think warmer might be better.
Thoughts?
You wanna make the set list?
OK fine! I'll play the Tele!
Jeez....
Good (if a little old) article talking about the disproportionality of Muslims being killed by Westerners. Turns out not only do I have my own list, but my list is ***100x*** longer than yours, using lower bound estimates.

You might argue that 100x is pretty steep. How's this? I'll divide this already lower bound estimate by 10.
My list is AT LEAST 10x longer than your list. Now, since the list length is the absolute measure, I've shown that Westerner are more barbaric than Muslims, but what to do? Ship them ti Westerner Island? Kill them all?
I do applaud your leaving these posts up, Hespy. Because anyone with any modicum of sense is going to say "What about the other list?"
Your silence speaks volumes. Your continuing to use your list in light of the evidence (as I assume you will), like nothing ever happened, is even worse.
So basically, you use the evidence that you "like". How rational.
I think it's funny that you keep writing to yourself Egghead, since I already said I'd only read personal stuff from you.
But knock yourself out. I assume you're alone and usually have to talk to yourself, masturbate, etc. Ya know, because of the Jews.
Have at it, but I ain't reading any of it....
Hesperado: crickets.
Well, any good theory usually stands up to no questioning or challenge. So you're right on target.

How would Steve12 know that his list is longer than mine, when he doesn't even know what my list is?

This analysis says that for every Westerner Mulsims have killed, we've killed 100 Muslims:

There is the caveat that it's form 2009 (which I noted), but if one buys your claims of the immutable evil of Muslim, we can extrapolate a steady base rate from then.
I mean, if you're going to counter at least counter the actual claim. Unless maybe you have a special list that the military, academics, NGOs, economists, etc. do not have access to?
Doubtful.
Your whole deal is this list, but it turns out that the list of barbarism of Westerners toward Muslims is 100 fold longer than the compliment.
Nice work - THANKS FOR PLAYING!
Don't worry though; I'm not leaving until my conditions are met. I'll be here to counter your absurd and poorly researched / reasoned claims for any poor slobs who happen to come upon this sight.
I'm also in Seattle in late August / September though most of the time I'll be hiking the North Cascades. Would take some time to Podcast / Jam though!
yours in Christ (not really, I'm an atheist)

Notice that Steve12 in his July 2, 2017 5:16 PM response -- to my question of July 1, 2017 at 8:30 PM -- didn't answer my question; he only reiterated that his list is longer. He didn't say how he knows it's longer than my list, when he doesn't know what my list is (and thus doesn't know how long it is).
"He didn't say how he knows it's longer than my list, when he doesn't know what my list is (and thus doesn't know how long it is)."
Ironic considering you refuse to answer 90% of my points! You can't w/o admitting what an absolute fraud you are, so I get it...
That FP link is counting 100% of the Muslims killed by the West vs. 100% of the Westerners killed by Muslims.
So your list has broken mathematics as we know it and has > than 100%? I know you're a humanities guy, but you gotta be able to do the math on this one, right?
And may I also say...
This absurd coyness about your list is ridiculous. Let's see it. All of it. No excuses that it's too long or whatever nonsense I'm anticipating hearing form you.
Produce the list.
And with, some summary statistics? I'm assuming that since the list is the be-all / end-all piece of evidence that you have some statistical summaries for us.
And YES OR NO - have you assembled or tried to attain a compliment list in the same way that the FP link, or any of the peer reviewed literature in the report I linked above does? If not, why not?
You say I don't know your list length, but how do YOU know that your list is longer than the compliment list if you have not assembled one?
Any answers Erich? Dying to hear them out in Beantown.
I love how Hespy's response to legitimate criticism is to simply stop responding.
Sort of telling, ya know?
Egghead made a joke! Well, what passes for one for him /her (?)
You have to love the kind of people like Hespy and Egghead who can look into the innocent eyes of a Muslim or Jewish child and think they need to be imprisoned or killed.
Because, hey, that child's a barbarian. Not Hespy or Eggheaad, who want to literally kill children - they're not barbarians whose life is essentially dedicated to bloodlust. No - the CHILD is the barbarian, and the CHILD has to go away or die.
Because, ya know, the list.
Unreal.
Hey Sir Knight of the Ignorant Dick of the Misplaced Jewsade against the West (TM),
Whatcha got against defenseless little girls' clits that makes you want to 'support' Muslims who cut those clits off whenever and wherever they're able?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Sincerely,
Clits 'R Us (TM)
