Jewschool Meeting and the Lonely Plight of the Blogger

Who can know the motivations of a group blogger? Many want to claim that blogs are not important. I don’t agree categorically, and though I am not personally making any assertions of self-importance, I see no merit to the suggestion that one must drop out of college and bear arms for the Zionist Entity to be doing something of substance.

It is hard to say what benefits the blogger enjoys. There is no money. The relationships forged are purely cyber ones.

It is an existential question as to why one blogs. A mystery locked within the depths of the soul of man. There are no answers. Only more questions.

We know who is Chief. Meet the other editors.

There’s a quote from the movie Shall We Dance: “We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”

That’s one reason why people blog. Because there is something satisfying about putting out your ideas in a place where other people can bear witness, where other people can hear you for who you are and not judge you by anything except your ideas.

that’s a lovely explanation, great movie also.
but it is true for a very few blogs, most of the blogs don’t be heard. and there is no one really witness of your life all the time in a blog. so in contrast to marriage, in blog there is a possibility some one will be your witness.
so i guess people blog because of this slight possibility.

We blog for the chicks, what else?

You guys are a scruffy bunch. Doesn’t anyone shave before heading off to discuss the latest tactics for censoring commenters on Jewschool?

Right, back to the point: it is hard to compare between dropping out of college to bear arms for Israel and blogging. The first has an impact both on oneself and on the Zionist Entity, allowing it to exist for a while longer and ensuring that people can sleep safe at night, while the second is a form of masturbation and maintenance of finger flexibility.

By the way, he can go back to college afterwards - Israelis do it all the time - but he’ll be a mature, seasoned individual. Let’s hope he keeps writing, he’s got some natural talent, that kid.

TM,

You said,

“You guys are a scruffy bunch.”

And don’t you forget it, preppy.

“The first has an impact both on oneself and on the Zionist Entity, allowing it to exist for a while longer and ensuring that people can sleep safe at night”

No reasonable person one is sleeping safely or soundly at night when thinking about the situation with the Zionist Entity. At least, I’m not. I’m pretty concerned.

“he’s got some natural talent, that kid.”

I don’t remember disputing that. I’m all for taking a year off, but can’t he just go to one of those programs where the kids get to shoot firearms in the desert for six weeks?

“Doesn’t anyone shave before heading off to discuss the latest tactics for censoring commenters on Jewschool?”

No. No time. We are at war. With Zionists (like you, TM) and anti-Zionists alike. For they are from the same corrupted fetishist ideology of the Zionist Entity.

I am many things, but a fetishist I am not.

If you do want to sleep more securely at night about Israel, you should go visit. It’s a beautiful country.

Is this the end of The Kvetcher?
