While I do have more serious comment on the way, including responses, I decided to go ahead and post The Book of 2nd Opinions. Everything in the Book is my opinion. People have accused me for many years of being strongly opinionated, when truthfully, they merely mistook candid and contraversial statements for opinions. I do have a lot of facts and theories, but what is going to follow here are pure opinions. The list is rather short because I had to choose things which are truly matters of opinion (preference), and not matters of facts (true and false statements about reality). The reason I do this is because many of my opponents have tried to use their opinions to bolster their argument(s), and since statements of opinion are irrelavent to discussions about facts I decided that from hence forth I will refer people to the Book of II Opinions, after informing them that statements of opinion do not count as proofs. Also, while I realize that posting an actual picture of myself on the page somewhat undermines the whole mystique, I felt that this picture would be appropriate considering the content. So without further adieu…
The Book of
II Opinions

I like to talk and I dread the day when I no longer will be able to engage in conversations.
—–Emperor Leto Atreides II
Chapter 1 (Comestibles)
1. Anything which I dislike is revolting.
2. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, and Asparagus are sick and vile,
and should not be served in my presence, they are abominations. Not only are they revolting in taste and smell, but also in appearance.
3. Broccoli and Cauliflower are uncouth abominations which should be utterly
destroyed, and without remedy.
4. Broccoli and Cauliflower are utterly revolting to all 5 senses, and possibly a 6th sense assuming such a sense exists. Perhaps it does in this case.
5. Anything which smells as though it has already passed completely through the human digestive tract should be shunned, because it probably tastes as though it has.
6. The alleged nutritional benefits of eating Broccoli et al are grossly outweighed by the repugnance of the experience.
7. Caffeine is good.
8. Caffeine expands consciousness, Caffeine is necessary for early morning travel.
9. Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper are superior sources of Caffeine compared to Coffee and Red Bull.
10. Red Bull is vile and repugnant, and does not give as good of a boost as Dew and Dr. Pepper.
11. Coffee is repugnant, the taste is reminiscent of the vile aftertaste I sometimes find in my mouth after a long night of sleep during the apex of springtime when all the pollen has caused excessive snot production and the snot has drained down my throat and partially collected in my mouth.
12. Coffee makes a person’s breath smell as though a skunk has crawled down their throat and died.
13. Starbucks is stupid and lame.
14. Everything served in Starbucks tastes like Coffee to varying degrees.
15. Starbucks is also revolting because it has a pop culture appeal. That is why it attracts large amounts of teenagers who can barely drive. They want to go there because they think they will become cool by association.
16. Patronizing Starbucks does not make one cool by association. It makes teenagers look stupid because it looks like they are trying to play grownup, either that or they initially became addicted to that skunk-smelling trash because they wanted to look/feel like they were an adult.
17. Drinking is NEVER cool.
18. Whine tastes like Nyquil, which is of course vile.
19. Beef (the muscle tissue of cows) is the best kind of meat. It is best when it retains its original color and generous amounts of circulatory fluid.
21. A meal is not truly a meal without meat.
22. Meat should never be dry, unless it is beef jerky.
23. Vegetarians are sissies, when talking about humans. The Mokele-Mbembe is definitely no sissy.
24. Cooked Spinach looks like something that used to appear in my older sisters diapers before she was potty trained but learning how to eat food.
Chapter 2 (animals)
1. All the animals which I like are cool; those which I dislike are repugnant.
2. Cats are revolting and worthless.
3. Cats are only suitable (as pets) for the female and the effeminate.
4. Cats are revolting in their appearance and mannerisms.
5. Reptiles are generally cool, even if they are dangerous.
6. Arthropods are generally revolting, and the kinds which get into human habitations need to be killed, except for spiders. Spiders are good to keep around for a while because they eat the other vile arthropods.
7. Beetles are acceptable as long as they don’t invade the house too much.
8. Benthic fish are generally cool, especially the glowing ones.
9. Horses are cool, but all the “My Little Pony” stuff needs to be destroyed.
10. Dogs are probably the best kind of animal, and generally they are easier to get along with than people.
11. Dogs and horses should not be eaten, but “house cats” should be.
12. All types of primates (and no I do not include humans in that category, to any evolutionists who might get their paws on this), are revolting and repugnant.
13. Dinosaurs are always cool.
14. Small dogs (yappers), like the French Poodle, are revolting sick and inferior abominations which should never have been perpetuated.
15. If your yapper runs off and gets mauled by a superior dog then that is what you get for owning a yapper. No compensation should be given.
Chapter 3 (Religion)
1. Buddhism is an aesthetically and intellectually revolting religion.
2. Westerners who subscribe to Buddhism are either druggies (or some other type of mush brain) or some type of leftist closet elitist.
3. Evolution is an aesthetically and intellectually revolting religion. It is thoroughly repugnant AND boring.
4. Evolution brings to mind death, suffering, and blood. Not the good appetizing kind that oozes out of a fresh piece of steak when prodded with a fork, but the vile repugnant kind that reeks of meaningless death and Hitler/Stalin type tortures and genocides.
5. Evolution also brings to mind deep black darkness. Not the relaxing kind of darkness of a deep sleep, or a pleasant night with the blinds shut, or the soothing pseudo-darkness accentuated by lava lamps and black lights, or the relaxing diminished daylight of a cloudy day, but a burning blackness that sears the mind and body, and the essence of the mind into meaningless.
Chapter 4 (Aesthetics)
Those who try to be cool are automatically the complete opposite of what they intend.
—-Me
1. It is revolting when women are tanned blonds. One of the two characteristics must be disposed of. Preferably the tan because women should not look like Mic Dundee (Crocodile Dundee).
2. Pink is a revolting color, as are most shades of yellow, orange, and red. Although yellow, orange, and red are perfectly acceptable colors for food.
3. Purple, blue, and green are the best colors, and blue is the best of the best.
4. Yellow light is repugnant and quite literally an eye-sore. Yellow light is something which should not be, except perhaps in small quantities when emitted as a week secondary or decorative source of illumination.
5. White light is the most ideal form of illumination when full illumination is required. Light blue (bluish near white), the sort of light generated by the sun after being filtered through sufficient layers of clouds, is the ideal type of light for being outside during the day.
6. Yum, yum fun sunny days, are not fun or palatable, they are revolting and inferior.
7. Warm colored light sources are acceptable for decorative purposes as secondary light sources, meaning, that the over-all light scheme must be dominated with cool colors, such as blue, green, and purple.
8. People who live vicariously through celebrities are losers and hopelessly uncool.
9. Deliberately buying pants with holes in them is not cool, it makes one look like a beggar, or a fashion junkie who tries too hard to be cool, the effort negates the intended result.
Chapter 5 (Music)
1. German music is almost always cool.
2. Country music and rap are revolting. Country music brings to mind incest and physical deformity. Rap brings to mind illiteracy and gang violence.
3. Country and rap have mitigating affects on the ability to form coherent thoughts. They are counterintuitive.
4. People who assume, upon hearing that someone listens to Classical Music, infer that some form of rock is being referred too, probably have less culture than my armpits after I have just emerged from a long shower.
Chapter 6 (Philosophy)
He who is concerned about the highest virtue is not in harmony with popular ideas; he who accomplishes a great work, does not take counsel with the multitude.
—-The Law of Kuo Yen, as stated by Lord Shang.
1. “Weird,” is not a self imposed classification.
2. Popular is not a self imposed classification.
3. Infamy is often preferential to popularity. Infamy is earned through correct behavior more often than popularity is.
4. “Being shallow” is synonymous with being whimsical.
5. What goes on in the personal lives of celebrities is no more important than how many hairs there are on my toes. It certainly has less value.
6. People who live vicariously through celebrities are probably justified in feeling pathetic about themselves.
7. People who subscribe to, as well as advocate, the notion that race is a social construction are closet racists themselves.
8. The most rewarding aspect about blatantly professing ones opinions is that the opinions do not have to be supported by empirical data. Neither do they have to be defended when attacked.
9. Opinions are best when expressed unapologetically.
