You are right, my comfort zone is broad, thus the assimilation and acclimation of new enviroments. I am fortunate that I have been exposed to the spices of life and really don't fear the unknown, not even death.

How would your comfort zone be without your computer OB?

To harbor hatred is to shut out all that is good leaving room for only what is bad. Hatred assumes many forms, but it cannot be disguised for it has the stench of corruption about it.

Disagree. Jealousy and envy never have justification, but there are times when hatred does have a justification. Now, letting that hatred control you and dominant your life is not a good thing, but that is true of any primal emotion, including love.

Saying all hatred is bad is like giving an open check to allowing evil to prosper. There are some things that should be hated, though of course with a sense of proper proportion.

We fear what we don’t know, and hate what we do - if only out of contempt for what is familiar. To master one’s antipathies requires courage and conviction. However, both must be employed with common sense, for to be bold in the face of unknown danger is not brave but foolhardy, and to persist in despising what is shown to be good is not to be steadfast in one’s convictions but rather mean and stupid.

Or thoroughly disgusted. Wait. Let me put my sunglasses on. They protect my eyes from blinding analytical brilliance straight out of remedial high school psychological indoctrination.

And what, in your opinion, are I, for example, my little Gothic free agent?

Most knowledge does not come through education. In fact, a lot of education is just indoctrination, and you probably passed.

Invest enough time, money and effort, and even Koko the gorilla can read and communicate.

Well, Obama threw his so called "Christian" friends under the bus and his father was a radical Muslim, Obama's name is Muslim, he went to a Muslim school in Indonesia.

Obama is a Muslim that hates America and white skin.
