In a sober moment, let’s talk about Hamas [wiki]. 

Hamas is recognized as a terrorist group by the United States, Israel, Canada, and the European Union.  Their founding charter states that they wish to wipe Israel from the map.  Its members “fear God and raise the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors.”  Violence and holy war is the appropriate solution to take care of the infidels.

They are well known for their use of suicide bombers, including females and children.  They confine their attacks to Israel and Israelis, and have take credit for many bombings and attacks.

And now, they won the Palestinian elections [BBC] and are a valid political power within the Palestinian government.  They hold 76 of 132 parliament seats.  80% of the population participated in the election, which was supported by the US.  In an ironic move, the people which for so long did not recognize Israel as a valid government, now having become a valid government in themselves, are not being recognized as such unless they renounce the violence and hatred of their charter.

What is democracy?  If the people call for a violent, anti-semetic government, can other countries deny that elected party the recognition that the people have decided to grant it?

I want to say, if we’re lucky, Hamas will try to make a move, and then Israel will have an excuse to lay waste to all the various nations around it trying to eliminate them.

But that’s not love.  What’s the appropriate sort of love in this circumstance?  Can you turn the other cheek, if your enemy is aiming for your neck?  I’d have a hard time not being racist in Israel.  Being Jewish in America, I can say I don’t discriminate based on race, but I don’t have anyone actively trying to kill me.  No one sends women or children running at me with a bomb strapped to their back.

I usually post pictures up.  But who’s to say if I should put one of defiant Islamic militants, or of Arab children killed by Israelis?

This is not a scam.  You will receive your haiku.

I bet some rich people visit my Xanga.  Currently, I have approxmiately $0 in my bank
account, give or take $3.  Donate money to poor college students! Click the link below.

You probably didn’t know it, but I’m a HUGE consumer item in Japan.

Epoops to Ronit, my fellow jew in Yeshua for that one.

I need to give a little advice to the ladies.  So you think I’m really good looking, and want to seduce me?  That’s understandable.  But don’t lower yourself to only trying to seduce me.  The best way to find boys is something you carry with yourself already and can do at any moment.  Yes, this is what I speak of, the side ponytail.

It worked for her.  She met lots of boys and went to dances.

Yep, she’s definetly one you have to go on a date with.  The glasses add to the effect.

And finally, to prove how drawn I am to such things.

Hot babes with side ponys, I really can’t think of anything else that makes me happier.  Except maybe pirates.  Pirates with side ponys, arrrrr.  I need to find meself one of those.

                   
                   2005 was a good year.

Yeah, “For me to poop on” was the joke. Great job, Einstein.

My New Year’s resolution is 1152 x 864.  At 74.8 Hz.
Also, I said I’m not going to poop this year.  But I lost that game already.

        you’re all dead to me

except the ones who are motherly and make pumpkin cookies and let me play DDR with their children

This does not include the required bible minor core.  That has, in
any case, a 4:2 ratio of non-Bible to Bible Bible courses, but everyone
takes those, not choices that those with a Bible major can choose to
study in the text if they wish.

You know what grinds my gears?

Just moderately, of course.  Nothing too serious.  I just
think it’s interesting.  For those who are not of the Cedarvillian
persuasion who may occassionaly peruse this Xanga, I welcome your
objective thoughts on the matter.

Cedarville is theoretically a Bible College.  But we’re not
officially called that anymore, I don’t think.  We like to thinkof
ourselves as being well grounded in scripture, bringing ourselves up in
that sort of way, etc etc.  So in examination of the Bible
department, we find similar results to last semesters look.

The Philosophy segment has 6 different courses, with a total of 8
sections. There are a total of 198 students currently enrolled in
philsophy, BEPH, classes.

BEPT, whatever that is, has 10 different courses, 12 sections
total.    I think this is a missions-oriented
sector.  There are 221 students enrollled here.

BECE, which is something else that I don’t know, has 10 classes with 11
sections.  There are at least 239 students enrolled here, probably
more because some of them look like senior-oriented things that are
instrcutor approval required.

And, in the actual Bible classes, the Old Testament has a grand total
of 2 classes, with 30 people each between them for a total of 60.

The New Testament departement fairs better, with 4 classes (even though
one is instructor approval inductive studies), but the classes are
smaller and so only 69 people are currently registered for classes here.

This is 658 people in non-Bible Bible classes, and 129 people in Bible
classes that actually look at the text.  Obviously, there are
plenty of other majors.  But is it a matter of concern that those
majoring in Bible have a majority of their classes not actually from
the Bible?  Maybe it’s an ok thing to do.

I would like if we had more Bible-text sorta based classes.  Especially more than 2 Old Testament classes. Oh well.

In happier news, I don’t know any of these girls.  But they’re
really pretty, and I support that and am proud of them for it. 
It’s not that I happy that I don’t know them.  I’m just happy they
are them and are only looking moderately scared to be seen with me.

Three goals of my life, in no particular order.

See him in concert:

Meet her:

And finally, go on a date with her:

See, look how happy I am when we’re together.

I bring you yet another edition of Girls Who Are Not Dating Meâ„¢,

This weeks edition is very, very special.  Because we’re all
special people.  Especially people who share our last names, who
are of questionable genetic relationship to us.  In this case, it’s
probably a good thing that we’re not dating, because all of these last
girls share with me something very special…my last name.  I’ve
never met any of them, and have no idea if we are related or not. 
I hope not though, because they are almost as pretty as me.  Here
it is, Girls Who Are Not Dating Meâ„¢
