Romance / Re: 15 Powerful Photographs That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity by walan(m): 6:01pm On Aug 26, 2017
Bless you.

WORDWORLD:


Joseo, if after these leaders finish sitting "down round a table and make decision that would make fellow men like them go to war and that would kill millions" AND THEN, THESE LEADERS AND THEIR CHILDREN GO TO THE BATTLE FIELD AND ARE AT THEY FORE FRONT FIGHTING DOES IT THEN JUSTIFY WAR?

I learnt this from a book title: ISHMAEL, written by Daniel Quinn. He wrote,

"THERE IS NOTHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the Lords of the world they will ACT like Lords of the world. AND GIVEN A STORY TO ENACT IN WHICH THE WORLD IS A FOE TO BE CONQUERED, THEY WILL CONQUER IT LIKE A FOE AND ONE DAY, INEVITABLY, THEIR FOE WILL LIE BLEEDING TO DEATH AT THEIR FEET, AS THE WORLD IS NOW" (Daniel Quin, ISHMAEL)

Joseo a major problem is ARROGANCE,IGNORANCE, GREED AND STUP!DITY which are so systematically cultivated through the kinds of education we get right from birth. Its been so for ages even since Kings and their Sons lead at the fore-front on the battle fields. While we all know or should know that the REAL BATTLE FIELD is the HUMAN HEART. Which he must struggle with it night and day, weeding out those diseases I have mentioned above and more which are they impediments to being humane, and having a heart full of tranquility . THAT IS THE REAL BATTLE THAT IS NOT BEING FOUGHT BY MEN AND WOMEN. YOUR OWN HEART. Fighting your heart to turn away from evil and deprivity in order to purify it and make it wholesome, full of kinddness, empathy, love, trustworthiness, compassion....................... That is the real BATTLE FIELD not spilling the blood of your fellow being.

Until people by themselves strive to become WHOLLY HUMAN AND HUMANE, if not all that are mostly roaming planet Earth on TWO FEET calling themselves human beings are nothing but DEVILS masqurading as human beings.

How do you explain this? "MAKE FELLOW MEN LIKE THEM GO TO WAR".

The explanation is given in just one sentence by Bertrand Russell. "PATRIOTISM IS THE WILLINGNESS TO KILL AND BE KILLED FOR TRIVIAL REASONS."


Jaseo do you know what baffels me the most among so many other?

WARS DON'T END ON THE BATTLE FIELD BUT ON THE TABLE BY THESE GREEDY BASTARDS WHO STARTED IT ON THE SAME TABLE. YOU KNOW ALL THOSE PEACE AGREEMENT. WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU?! THAT WARS CAN BE AVOIDED IF WE CARE TO CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS ON THE TABLE BY NOT FOLLOWING OUR ANIMALISTIC IMPULSES TO BE AGRESSIVE ALL FOR VANITY.

Unless that ANIMALISTIC BEAST IS TAMED inside man and woman he and she will never become truely humane but MONSTERS.

Its left for individuals to fight their own battles which is their heart, purifying it from all impurities, keeping it from everything that ruins or spoils it, whether it be erroneous, evil beliefs or impure speech or actions.

Joseo to be very realistic. Until we stop looking at the world through the lenses of PERCEPTION ILLUSIONS and stop thinking through indoctrinations we care not to confirm their validity. THE WORLD WILL NOT STOP ACTING INSANE. And like the little boy, Mike Scout a.k.a 'BATKID' majority of the people on planet Earth are like that little boy, LIVING IN FANTASY and not REALITY. We need to see what we don't want to see. THE TRUE PICTURE OF OUR WORLD TODAY MOST ESPECIALLY IS SO FAR FROM HUMANE HUMANITY.

At best all the pictures here are nothing but EMOTIONAL which shuts down the intellect. They are very far from a RATIONALISTIC point of view as to the REALITIES of a world pluged into DELIBRATE CHAOS all because of MUTUAL RIVALRY for its VANITIES if we care to see.

@arbitrage, Thanks for your wonderful replies. I meant to ask you this on Humblesam's thread but... I wanted you to make clear explicitly :

1. If one can use any IP address as long as it is not a Nigerian IP? [Which you have answered above!]

2. And if one can vary the IP addresses that one uses?
e.g can i use '90.109.190.23' today and use '67.34.87.54' tomorrow,
so long they are from the US even if they are in different regions?

Kindly help provide answers to the second question above.
Thanks in Advance. Cheers

adconline:
There is something that drew u to that woman.. Maybe physical..b0oty

True, something physical may draw you to a person but that is at one level. If you really look within yourself, you may find something deeper - something more like the need to connect/commune, to experience the sublime! - like MBriggs called it - something like a force that defies explanation. There is a flip side to all the materialistic lustings we humans engage in - call it the spiritual (i don't know but its there!) - that after all our graspings and gettings, still needs fulfilling and we glimpse it when we are with someone we truly truly like. The physical features might play a part but it doesnt end there always!

No be small theorem o. More peops need to see this. As this education is seriously needed.
This kind of analysis is really outside what one usually sees around here. @OP I think this should be developed further and documented. It will serve as instruction for the upcoming, myself included(even though i be old man! grin).

thanks walan. I currently have a job with an it firm now. I got the job from someone that saw this thread. grin
I am not looking for a job anymore. I must say that jobler.me is growing too. with over 8000 uniques everyday. grin

About the techy stuff, the crawlers are all written in python and a bit of perl(for regex and string manipulation). The ui is codeigniter(php) while the main search is written in c++ alone grin everything was done from the ground up.

i later used a library from google code when i hit a brickwall as to figuring out the most important part of a webpage. It is hosted here code.google.com/p/boilerpipe/. it doesnt hit 100% sha. the whole jobler thing is still a work in progress. smiley

Currently, the spiders threads run on 2 vps while the search engine itself is hosted on a dedicated box. I currently use almost 70% of my salary to pay for them grin grin grin lipsrsealed

Hmm!! That was enlightening! I just got interested in crawlers. Thanks for the listing of techs above. i'll get right into researching them.
Meanwhile, I hope ya employer they pay you correct box o?!
Keep it up! Cheers

Anyways, Nice one both. Let us Nigerians take our creativity to the web!
PS: I wud like to discover the tech powering both sites, i have some ideas too (not relating to job search though!) Cheers.
