The Problem With Weapons

My Writing About How Violent Criminals Project The Way That They Feel About Themselves Onto Their Victims: The problem with criminals—who endeavor to violently cause harm to others—is that violent criminals are causing harm to others whom the violent criminals think deserve to be caused harm due to the way that the violent criminals feel about themselves which the violent criminals are projecting onto those whom they are causing violent harm. –Paul Whiting (written April 22nd, 2022, revised April 23rd, 2022, revised September 1st, 2022 and revised September 24th, 2022)

Post No. 103: The Problem With Criminals

(Image from Best Drug Rehabilitation)

The Problem With Criminals

The problem with criminals—who take things that do not belong them, or who use bribery as an inducement to achieve desired outcomes, or who manipulate, control, force, coerce, enslave, or use threats of violence, or even death, in order to convince others to do things for them—is that they desire need fulfillment with little effort on their part or, even, with no effort on their part.

Plus, the problem with criminals who endeavor to violently cause harm to others is that they are causing harm to others whom the violent criminals think deserve to be caused harm, due to the way that the violent criminals feel about themselves, which the violent criminals are projecting onto those they are causing harm to in a way that is violent.

And I feel that crime is such a serious problem that nonviolent criminals deserve to be removed from society and incarceration in an secure facility that is rehabilitating for them, such as a minimum security prison, with mandatory court-ordered therapy in order to facilitate their recovery from all criminality. And violent criminals also deserve life in prison with the above-mentioned mandatory court-ordered therapy in order to facilitate their recovery from all violent criminality.

The Problem With Cheating

The problem with cheating in physics is that you are producing "anti-life," because you are literally cheating in a void.

My Writing About The Policy Of Honesty In The Kingdom Of God: In the Kingdom of God, honesty is not only the Best Policy, honesty is the Only Policy. –Paul Whiting (written September 29th, 2012 and revised September 12th, 2023)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Writing About The Problem With Cheaters: The problem with cheaters is that they desire to be successful, but with little effort on their part or, even, with no effort on their part. Therefore, the problem with cheaters is that they desire to achieve success—with their endeavors in life—but without having to assume risk, without having to be hard working and honest, and without having to learn from their mistakes in order to do better in the future. In other words, achieving success is attained by the process of assuming risk, by the process of being hard working and honest, and by the process of learning from mistakes in order to do better in the future, which cannot be accomplished by cheating. –Paul Whiting (written October 28th, 2014, revised April 23rd, 2022, revised April 24th, 2022 and revised September 1st, 2022)

My Writing About How Cheaters Are Afraid Of Their Own Vulnerability: Cheaters are afraid of their own vulnerability, which is why they won't assume risk, and that's why they cheat! –Paul Whiting (written March 27th, 2015 and revised September 1st, 2022)

My Writing About Being A Recovering Blame-A-Holic: Sometimes, I truly feel like I am a recovering "Blame-A-Holic," so to speak, because I honestly feel that I need to keep a constant watch over my negative thoughts in order to not start placing blame upon others whenever I get stressed out! It is practically a full-time job, but I always try to "pull back" blaming thoughts, in my own mind, whenever I have them. And, then, I also try to re-think those negative, blaming thoughts in a positive, responsible way!

Post No. 091/092: The Problem With Rapists

(Image from Snipview)

WARNING: THIS POST HAS CONTENT THAT MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME READERS. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

The Problem With Rapists
(Or, "Rape Is A Crime Just Like Murder")

The problem with rapists is that they desire to hurt others, in a way that is sexually gratifying for the rapist, because of the way that the rapists feel about themselves, which the rapists are projecting onto those whom they victimize.

Therefore, the problem with rapists is that they feel good about themselves, as rapists, because they are raping others whom the rapists think deserve to be raped, due to the way that the rapists feel about themselves, which the rapists are projecting onto those whom they rape.

And I feel that rape is such a serious violent crime that rapists deserve life in prison with mandatory court-ordered therapy in order to facilitate their recovery from all violent criminality.

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Poet, Artist and Philosopher)
"I am the poet who thinks that he knows it!"

My Writing About Prudes And Rape: I think that there is a really strong correlation between those who are "prudish" in their nature (which I also believe is basically the same situation as those who do not find themselves sexually attractive) and those who say it is "okay" to commit sexual assault! Additionally, I truly think that rapists buy into this horrible and ridiculous premise since they believe that God has some kind of "plan for rape" (as they will sometimes even say themselves) which translates to mean that they have every right in the world to commit sexual assault in order to "Cash In On God's Guarantee" that they get to have sex by force as a reward for having achieved "Being In God's Good Graces The Right Way!" And that is why I honestly think that rapists seriously believe that they are wholly deserving of being able to commit sexual assault. –Paul Whiting (written July 1st, 2012, revised April 14th, 2015, revised September 21st, 2015, revised April 20th, 2022, revised April 21st, 2022 and revised September 1st, 2022)

My Writing About "God's Plan For Rape": I truly believe that God's only "plan for rape" is to literally eradicate rape from all of existence! And I truly feel that it is "God's Plan" to end all rape through each and every soul expressing "Self-Love" instead. For, I honestly think that it is "God's Plan" to eliminate the actual need to commit sexual assault by way of each and every soul expressing "Self-Love," instead—rather than anyone ever forcing themselves upon others in an ungodly way. –Paul Whiting (written October 27th, 2012, revised April 14th, 2015, revised August 24th, 2022 and revised September 1st, 2022)

Post No. 052: The Problem With Cheaters

(Image from Philadelphia CityPaper)

The Problem With Cheaters

The problem with cheaters is that they desire to be successful, but with little effort on their part or, even, with no effort on their part.

Therefore, the problem with cheaters is that they desire to achieve success—with their endeavors in life—but without having to assume risk, without having to be hard working and honest, and without having to learn from their mistakes in order to do better in the future.

In other words, achieving success is attained by the process of assuming risk, by the process of being hard working and honest, and by the process of learning from mistakes in order to do better in the future, which cannot be accomplished by cheating.

My Writing About How Cheaters Are Afraid Of Their Own Vulnerability: Cheaters are afraid of their own vulnerability, which is why they won't assume risk, and that's why they cheat! –Paul Whiting (written March 27th, 2015 and revised September 1st, 2022)

Post No. 051: How To 'Forget About It' Correctly

(Image from thestockmasters.com)

How To 'Forget About It' Correctly
(Or, "How To Solve The Problems In Life")

Since life is bound to have problems in it, when you are faced with solving any particular problem in life, it is only when you have thoroughly and legitimately solved that particular problem in life that you should "forget about it," so to speak.

Therefore, you should never "forget about it" as a way to solve any of the problems in life, since not solving the problems in life—and then forgetting about having not solved the problems in life—will only create more and bigger problems in life!
