Nice to John’s face again – I hope he is well.
I should probably leave this one alone, but I cannot resist:
As far as John is concerned, we should all act according to his principles of justice and goodness, thereby fulfilling our potential as individual human beings. Yet not much thought seems to have been put into understanding what it means to be a human being. The cruelty of the Faroese genuinely seems to amaze him, as do their weird platitudes about tradition that he easily refutes. His keen observations of behavior offer surprisingly few insights: He has never understood why the Faroese get excited by whale killing - they may simply be bloodthirsty sadists, or it could have something to do with the action of it, or the prospect of a nice meal. Even the actions of the pilot whales themselves appear incomprehensible (There seems to be no clear consensus as to why whales beach themselves, but there are some theories at least).
Once an observation is made, very little time seems to be spent contemplating the “why”. It seems to be more about bestowing judgement: Good or Evil - Luke or Wader.
It has been 20 years since I last heard him argue his points, yet they remain exactly the same – no new knowledge appears to have been gathered. One might have hoped he by now would have delved a bit deeper, and maybe have answers to some of the many whys touched upon by this topic, such as what the concept of tradition is (beyond “something we have done for a long time”). It is not that his arguments are wrong. It is just that they are a boring cul-de-sac. In my opinion, judgement is best reserved for later, when you are in possession of at least some of the facts. Claiming that other people are sheep and cannot think for themselves, and are therefore Evil, is simplistic and pointless. |

Her er greinin sum portalurin skrivaði um samrøðuna

@Torellion, ja, har vóru fleiri sum føldu at tey skuldu bekrefta John'sa fordómar...
Eg kom til at flenna hart tá eg las hetta gullkornið:
Nú eru so nógv fólk á Jørðini, at torført er at metta øll um øll ikki skifta yvir til at eta plantur. Tað er í mínum hugaheimi stórsta orsøk til at halda áfram við at eta kjøt - fyri at minka um grundarlagið fyri fleiri fólkum á Jørðuni. |

Bedrøviligt...
Hann virkar provokerandi, og tí er tað eingin sum yvirhøvur lurtar eftir hansara argumentum. |

Eg flenti tá onkur á portalinum spurdi um hann var Army 
Hevði ikki vænta at hann var so miki gloymdur av palleba sum hann er, eingin skrivaði um hansara Salomon citat (Exodus 23:2), tó ein (Hallur, syskinabarn hjá Barður?) mintist at hann spældi D&D... |
