Laziness allows one to achieve a goal by the most efficient

As I recall, he was also known as one of the most idiotic strategists
the species has ever produced. His "fame" didn't stop him from being
the almost single-handed reason his country lost its big war, did it?

Being both intelligent and ambitious doesn't appear on your radar?

This was a WWI German officer and I don't recall his name.
Why do you think he was an idiotic strategist? Why do you
think he single-handedly lost WWI? If you know so much about
him, what was his name?

The pride, lust, and greed usually accompanying ambition are
a good percentage of the seven deadly sins.

Then it's just an assertion of yours, isn't it?

Sorry, I don't share your religious incredulity. I don't recognize
"sin" as anything but a nonsense word.

Is that religious bigotry I'm hearing, Mark? "Accept my beliefs as
fact or be labeled impolite"?

if you are hearing anything seek medical help most like
but you are misreading the stament

You called me impolite because of my religious view.

you can politely disagree with re;ligoous beliefes without labeling
them as nonsense

I didn't label any religious belief as nonsense - that's in your head,
because you don't understand English.

it is not polite to label such thigs as nonsense

It's not impolite to label nonsensical things as nonsense.

if you were polite youd know that

If you were at least a tad intelligent, you'd know a lot that you
don't know now.

but it is not a requirement of licensing after you have one

Your comment was totally irrelevant to THIS conversation, Mark. Ham
radio has nothing to do, in this context, with Hitler.

No, actually, "for the purposes of posting", your opinion doesn't
count at all to most people. But, since you have such a limited view
of the world, you won't understand what that means.
