Subject: Re: What Lisp needs to beat Java, etc. From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: 2000/11/28 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3184410282846018@naggum.net> * "Aaron K . Johnson" <akj@21stcentury.net> | Are you interested in a discussion here, or a big ego-fest, in which | yours wins at any cost? I'm not interested in a discussion with people who behave the way you do. I'm trying to show you why you need to rethink your position by making it painful to you to hold the position you do -- I have long since given up dealing with people who hold idiotic opinions as if they had arrived at them through thinking about them. Exposre to pain restructures their response register in a way that arguments that they had to think about never would because thinking is what they do _not_ engage in. You do not have the observational skills or brains to recognize this, but instead think it's a "big ego-fest". You are a waste of space and should be recycled. #:Erik -- Solution to U.S. Presidential Election Crisis 2000: Let Texas secede from the Union and elect George W. Bush their very first President.
