"We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction" was that from Buk or Aesop?

The means weren't given to our enemies by ourselves, they were granted, given and augmented by the people running Yahoo.

Under the benevolent protection of the perfidious Yamster

Trolls and reporters can run amuck among the citizens of P&S.

They actually favor thuggery, Buk's question about the bluebird inside of us and his video rendition of a hallmark poem by one of the greatest poets in this century was deleted.

Yahoo is actively censoring and have sunk to a level of despicability I once considered unattainable.

I will deliberately not choose Buk or Aesop to give a low life

troll or reporter a chance to report me.

Once again demonstrating the insanity prevalent on Answers.

The way you as an individual analyses things and the way you see the world could potentially not be the way the world sees you. Things get lost in interpretations and we bring upon ourselve bad fate. The things you say about yourself have a major impact. The self that is you maybe over inflated in the eyes of the same self but in the eyes of the broader society it could be something else. Most people don't love themselve how can they love everybody the same way..the capacity is vacant.All boils down to negative thinking and you are what you think.

That's the first I've heard it...but I'm guessing Buk..

Machiavelli

That's from a restroom wall in a truck stop in Breezewood, PA. The author was somebody calling himself "Stinky Pinky".

I'm not sure but i guess Aesop. i don't want buk mad

I think Richard Pryor said it at a Don Rickles roast.

Poor Buk....yes, I suppose that he was . RIP Buk (:

Hmmm,,, I thought it was SunTze from The Art of War,,,,or was it Donald Duck when he was fighting the chipmunks,,,,,

Never heard that, but we certainly did it with the Iraqis. Now they will slowly destroy us - economy and all.
