And you, Sir, have shit for brains ;-)


Hello Jim,

Please elaborate. It sounds like you have a touch of constipation!

Peter Nolan.
Dublin.


Not me. I just have an aversion to mental cases. PLONK, permanent.

Hello,

This is not addressed to Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson but since I'm being
labelled as a mental case not once but twice I would like to elaborate a
little for the sake of my friend/s whose continuing respect and affection I
value greatly.
The first thing to point out that Jim isn't responding not because he had
something to say but because in spite of his great technical abilities, and
there is no doubt about it Jim is one smart cookie in the field of
electronic design and no one can take that away from him, he has
nevertheless, like every one of the other six billion or so humans on planet
earth, limitations even like someone like me who can range far and wide in a
whole range of subjects other than in my field of specialty-Experimental
Physics.
I detect Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson has a sense of humour when he wrote
above "PLONK, permanent" and this inspires me so that all is not lost. Given
that four of the happiest hours I enjoy each week are spent watching edited
versions of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O'Brien
for two hours each Saturday night on www.cnbceurope.com I too have a sense
of humour so Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson we have something in common
even if you find may find this quite disturbing now that you believe I have
a serious mental illness!
You are happy to reveal your whereabouts in your signature but don't fret
I'm not about to travel to Phoenix and knife you to death while you are
enjoying a refreshing night's sleep perhaps dreaming about happy things like
knowing that the economy and general welfare of the people of California
are in the safe hands of a body builder.
Can I just now clarify one or two things?
I couldn't figure out the connection between writing:

The people who have the greatest difficulty handling disgust are what
Americans call white trash a type that is to found in every part of society
and in every country and not just in trailer parks and so on. Disgust is the
driving emotion of the KKK for example. These people are extremely
dangerous. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of these people and he is running
the fifth largest economy in the world!

and having "shit for brains" and was forced into the rather uncomfortable
position of having to ponder this mystery.
The single idea that occurred to me was that Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson
may figure I'm one of these crazy conspiracy theorists(what irony!) that
Schwarzenegger is actually a member of the KKK or perhaps some other white
supremacist group. This is not the case. I never suggested that
Schwarzenegger is a member of the KKK or any other bunch of fruitcakes who
may be wandering around the forests of Michigan dressed up in camoflauge
planning to overthrow the federal government. I wish someone however would
try to talk to these guys instead of killing them when things get a little
too tense. Timothy McVeigh visited the place where such a killing took place
and the consequences of the rage he felt were terrible indeed.
However I want to point out in the strongest terms that people in the KKK
and the vast numbers of other people who orbit round the the hardcore of the
KKK would be inspired by the nonsensical ranting of Schwarzenegger and
relate not to what that scumbag is actually saying but to the emotion in his
voice that can be either love or hate depending on whether it's 12:05 or
12:06 implying that these people emotions slosh back and forth so wildly
that chaos and destruction are inevitable.
I became interested in Schwarzenegger some time ago but I can't remember
what triggered the interest. Then at around the time he was campaigning for
the governorship of California I heard about a programme that would be shown
on Channel 4 in the UK(UK terrestrial TV) about Schwarzenegger's life and I
tuned with, as the cliche goes, "eager anticipation".
He spent a few years in the UK and he described the following to camera. On
the night before a body building contest having identified a fellow
contestant as a threat to his winning the contest he would book a hotel room
and invite the contestant he felt threatened to stay with him in his room.
He then went on to say that he would break the contestant psychologically
and go on to win the competition. This tells me all I needed to know about
Schwarzenegger and if he got the chance he would wreak havoc in the State of
California. To be sure he will never get this chance, ever, but I'm saying
if he got the chance he would do so.
Finally I tune in to The McLaughlin Group http://www.mclaughlin.com/ from
time to time on www.cnbceurope.com . On one show the panel that includes the
beautiful and intelligent Eleanor Clift of Newsweek described Schwarzenegger
as someone without "an honest bone in his body" and so Jim "US Citizens
Only" Thompson if you have been able to cope with the fear of reading the
writing of a "mental case" my advice to you is to contact Eleanor in the
hope that she might be able to help straighten out your thinking.
My PC crashed earlier and I lost alot of stuff I'd written. I want to
continue but I feel tired.

So apologies to all, and SHUT UP THE LOT OF YOU!!!

Hello Paul,

Many thanks for your heartfelt support but don't worry. I can deal
effectively with the little abuse that has come my way on this occasion. If
I could type a little faster than the painfully slow pace I type at being as
I am restricted to using only one finger and making errors continously I
would write a lot more than I actually do. Some guys don't realise how much
they give away about themselves even when they write just a single sentence
and since I'm not a cruel person by nature I'm really very restrained
indeed.
Telling someone they have "shit for brains" means nothing. It does however
say an awful lot about anyone who uses that kind of phraseology.
I too can still recite the the Hail Holy Queen prayer and it kinda amazes me
that I still can :) I'm 50.
Finally I don't use Google groups and so it looks like I'm missing alot of
other posts.

Best wishes,

Peter Nolan.

Why are typing with just one finger? Even an Irishman should be able to

So your only trying to retaliate against a "TYPE", pick some one
who has not won the respect of the world and an entire state of
this country. Or is it his Success your jealous of?

I feel it bad form to attack someone who is not there to defend
himself, shows lack of character. Besides, other than entertain
you, what could Arnie have done to you? You lift weights?

Arnie hasn't done anything, but I suspect a macho-type has made PN's
life a misery at some time in his life. It happened to me, but I managed
to rise above it: some others are not able to do that.

since I'm being

elaborate a
: little for the sake of my friend/s whose continuing respect and
affection I
: value greatly.

By addressing him as 'Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson' do you mean
to infer an insult? Shame on you! Gee, you really think you have
friends? Do you also insult them like you threw your bigotry at
this list?

: The first thing to point out that Jim isn't responding not

humans on planet

and wide in a
: whole range of subjects other than in my field of
specialty-Experimental
: Physics.

Run on sentence, hard to decipher. Jim responded, so "Jim isn't
responding" is not accurate. He clearly expressed an opinion of
your comments. Your attempts to Damn with faint praise is
completely transparent and bogus. The allusions to his limitations
are more likely a litany of your own feelings of inadequacy.
To date your "far and wide" is limited to insults and bigotry.
Note that Engineering is practical application of Physics! "WE"
get down to business about making it work. We rarely spend time
publishing text books. (Although a few do and do it well.)

: I detect Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson has a sense of humor
when he wrote

: of humor so Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson we have something in
common
: even if you find may find this quite disturbing now that you
believe I have
: a serious mental illness!

He rarely insults anyone who doesn't ask for it. He never starts
a flame nor attempts to used subtle insults phrased as
compliments. He is accurate and out spoken.
BTW: Your not good at it!

: You are happy to reveal your whereabouts in your signature but
don't fret
: I'm not about to travel to Phoenix and knife you to death while
you are
: enjoying a refreshing night's sleep perhaps dreaming about happy
things like
: knowing that the economy and general welfare of the people of
California
: are in the safe hands of a body builder.

You can't travel to Phoenix, you are now in a list of possible
terrorists due to this implied threat. (reported today.) But a
Knife would not help. In Arizona most people keep a gun for self
defense, and are not constrained against using it to defend
against a nut case!

: Can I just now clarify one or two things?
: I couldn't figure out the connection between writing:

: Americans call white trash a type that is to found in every part

:
: and having "shit for brains" and was forced into the rather

There is no connection, No logic, only a perverse Bigotry in your
statement. You can not reasonably connect "Arnold Schwarzenegger"
The Elected Governor of California, with a Southeastern religious
organization which was taken over by and is used for racism! He
is entirely a separate person and quite apart from the KKK has no
particular bias when it relates to race.

Even the KKK had a reason to exist at one time, but after it was
altered into a purely resist organization it became outlaw due to
crimes committed.

Many organizations change character over time. The Democrats
became more socialist, the Republicans are infused with Christian
fundamentalists, and the Local Racket club plays poker on Friday
nights. :>)

: The single idea that occurred to me was that Jim "US Citizens

More miss direction. Your inability to focus will get you into a
lot of trouble.
None of this is pertinent to you original broad and all inclusive
comments.

so wildly
: that chaos and destruction are inevitable.

Was this intended as a single sentence?
Let me point out that the KKK is a relatively small group.
Also Schwarzenegger IS an ACTOR. His ability to read lines it
critical to his work. No reasonable conclusion may be drawn from
the preceding rambling verbosity.

: I became interested in Schwarzenegger some time ago but I can't
remember
: what triggered the interest.

Terminator? 1, 2, and 3.

:Then at around the time he was campaigning for

what?

the State of

I'm saying
: if he got the chance he would do so.

So actually you "KNOW NOTHING" about him or what he will do?

thinking.

Eleanor Clift is not thought of highly of here. She works for a
PBS station because there's a strong LIBERAL bias there. Not to
be trusted as a serious source of news or accurate reporting.

: My PC crashed earlier and I lost alot of stuff I'd written. I
want to
: continue but I feel tired.

Please don't continue, You may feel tired, but your beginning to
sound stupid!
No one fears you alone, your just a ill wind in the trees. You
repeat the questionable options of others and amplify them into
insulting phrases and direct them to people who don't want to hear
ratings of questionable sanity.

Stick to Electronics on this newslist, skip lame attempts at

Hello Roger,

I'm baffled. I'm completely baffled.
How in heaven's name have you taken what is by it's very nature an academic
discussion as a personal attack on you?
If you are interested in finding out more about the emotion of disgust and
how we try to cope with this emotion collectively then see what you can find
about the work of Professor Paul Rozin from the University of Pennsylvania,
Professor Alan Dundes from the University of California at Berkeley and
Pamela Dalton from The Monell Chemical Senses Center.

Here are a few links to get you started.

http://www.sas.upenn.edu/sasalum/newsltr/fall97/rozin.html
http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/abcde/dundes_alan.html
http://www.monell.org/Faculty/Staff/dalton.htm

and there is a lot more on the web about the work of these people which you
can verify by simply typing their names into the Google search engine.

You have frightened me witless if you really have reported me as some kind
of terrorist. I was joking as anybody with a brain can see when I wrote to
Jim "US Citizen's Only" Thompson saying:

You are happy to reveal your whereabouts in your signature but don't fret
I'm not about to travel to Phoenix and knife you to death while you are
enjoying a refreshing night's sleep perhaps dreaming about happy things like
knowing that the economy and general welfare of the people of California
are in the safe hands of a body builder.

If you have really have reported me to some agency as a terrorist you are in
one sorry state of mind and I ask you to tell me what agency you contacted
so I can explain to them what I said was in jest something they will
understand when they read what I wrote.

You took a joking remark about the church and turned it into a
tirade about a perverse and irrelevant discussion about "disgust"
which I found offensive. You have a talent for offending IMO.

: If you are interested in finding out more about the emotion of
disgust

I don't, and have no interest in being connected with such drivel.
Also, it is NOT an emotion!

what you can find
: about the work of Professor Paul Rozin from the University of
Pennsylvania,
: Professor Alan Dundes from the University of California at
Berkeley and

I notice they are all paid by the state to publish, and not to do
any meaningful work!
Lately I have found a lot of this kind of waste causing higher

Manipulative. Not Medical..... Has no value!

You ARE in the Homeland Security Data Base. I don't take a threat
as a joke, as stupid as it was. They have the entire conversation.
Make more threats or apply for a visa, you will hear from them.
It is not necessary to "explain" it is only a data point. They
draw thier own conclusions.

You have some nerve to suggest that I am in a sorry state of mind.
I made no threats!
Suspicious activities are to be reported, according to the
Homeland security department!

You attacked the Governor of the State of California in your
tirade, with a questionable linkage (by type) to the KKK. I would
link your specious allusion to his "Type" to the same type of nut
cases... Bigotry and hate mongering!

BTW: While I have not met Arnie personally, I have attended
events where he was present. He conducts himself in a civilized
manner and was well liked by all who interacted with him. My
observation only. Not a generalized characterization.


FYI: NOT A Emotion, a reaction to something distasteful!

Neither did Peter.

Peter Nolan wrote about what he was NOT going to do!! Your action may
have prevented him from travelling to or even through USA in the course
of his professional career, or visiting relatives.

You should be utterly ashamed of yourself.

No doubt you will now report me as well. Luckily, I already decided some
months ago never to visit USA again, if I can possibly avoid it.

Actually it is not possible to know. I could have been reported
for reporting....(?)

Why thank you. From you that is a high compliment indeed!

: > I made no threats!
: Neither did Peter.

Matter of interpretation. I made my judgment based upon the
apparent instability of his rants. He did get rather specific
too! Knife, etc. I carry a Knife all the time. But would
never consider harming anyone. It's to cut food, or in an
emergency, string on a package! I would certainly not use the
negative to veil a threat, but that was what I saw in the message.

Oh, Indeed I am! Sure.....
But he hasn't been harmed in anyway, if he is as he seems, a
harmless buffoon that teaches Physics.

: months ago never to visit USA again, if I can possibly avoid it.

No. IMO your harmless and will remain that way... Besides, if you
don't come to this country your also safe from further scrutiny.
None of us here in the US are!
We have to take off our shoes to get on a plane! They take your
nail clippers, and deny you penults. :)>) No Booze either.....
AND the food is BAD!

Have a nice day... Or whatever!
 
Hello Roger,

I wrote to Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson:

You are happy to reveal your whereabouts in your signature but don't fret
I'm not about to travel to Phoenix and knife you to death while you are
enjoying a refreshing night's sleep perhaps dreaming about happy things like
knowing that the economy and general welfare of the people of California
are in the safe hands of a body builder.

I will try to explain the joke in more depth to you.
Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson says I'm a mental case and I'm trying to
reassure him that I'm actually a harmless mental case and that he has
nothing to fear from me! :)
I hope that that clarifies things for you. I didn't make any threat
whatsoever towards Jim "US Citizens Only" Thompson and I hope the people in
Homeland Security have the good sense to see that there was no threat to Jim
"US Citizens Only" Thompson. On the contrary he can at least as far as I'm
concerned enjoy a refreshing night's sleep knowing that there is at least
one less person he knows who is not about to waken him up suddenly in the
middle of the night.
I see things more clearly now. This is all about Schwarzenegger someone you
probably voted for.
I don't know what to do now. I do hope to travel to the US at some point in
the future and I just hope you sent the entire thread to Homeland Security
who I hope can work out for themselves the difference between a joke and a
threat unlike you.
I may have to contact the American Embassy here in Dublin as a result of
what you may have done but I think I should just let things go for the
moment.
You couldn't cope with me at the intellectual level and so just like folks
with low general intelligence you figured you would try to intimidate and
frighten.
It's people like you that do ongoing and continuing harm to a great country
like the US.

Too late, and un-needed. I get it. Your scared!
Relax, calm down, meditate or have a shot of good Irish whisky.

myself)

<Snip>

They only keep a record, and possibly they are monitoring this
thread. I can't tell, and they would never say if they were. Just
don't draw attention to your self in a questionable way.

(Not planning such a trip) Besides My only sojourn to the islands
was to Scotland and that was a long time ago! (Military travel)

Actually your just guessing.
I voted for McClintock!
But your nervous habit of jumping to conclusions led you astray.

I have no idea!

As I understand they would assure you there is nothing to be
concerned about and report that you made inquiry..... I wouldn't
do it, decide for yourself!

: You couldn't cope with me at the intellectual level and so just
like folks
: with low general intelligence you figured you would try to

"intellectual level " Now THAT's a JOKE!
Your intellectual level is not evident in your writing, nor your
conduct. It is, IMO that of an introverted pompous ass! Your are
arrogant and apparently unable to relate to anything beyond your
limited experience. I should hope I do not fall to your level!
Such claims are similar to my sister with her seven Ph.D's. Said
there was no one to talk to at her level. She now teaches
elementary school.... So much education for so little result.
Have you read papers I haven't? Sure, and I have done technical
things beyond your understanding, but I understand that we are all
individuals who contribute in many different ways. You clearly
need to learn some manners.

: It's people like you that do ongoing and continuing harm to a
great country
: like the US.

Or Not!
You were the initiator of the conflict and continue to make every
attempt to insult or denigrate me, I only defend myself. However
with your attitude, on second thought, don't come over, we have
enough arrogant people here already!

: Peter Nolan. Dublin.

Take a hint... Stay away from caffeine.
Lay low, stay off the internet, find something else to think
about.
Watch TV, or read some fiction. Cool it!
Maybe read something by Plato, Aristotle, or Kalidasa. Better
yet, translate something from Sanskrit, Latin, or Greek. I always
find that relaxing and it forces me to concentrate. Can't worry
when your deep in thought!
