Conversation with Spam Comments

I have received a number of comments from someone today.

Hello, this is a nice site you have

Oh. Well, thank you very much.

The function of the artist is to provide what life does not.

I didn't really consider myself an artist, per se, but thanks.

Make it your guiding principle to do your best for others and to be trustworthy in what you say. Do not accept as friend anyone who is not as good as you. When you make a mistake do not be afraid of mending your ways.

Duh.

After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.

Dude, if you think Hollywood bears even a passing similarity to "real and sincere," you need to get your head examined.

Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.

Well, of course. I mean, Christmas is a long way off yet, but it's never a bad time to buy Eat What You Want And Die Like A Man.

No cause is so right that one cannot find a fool following it.

So, are you saying that I'm right? Or are you calling me a fool? Do you have any other philosophical insights to offer?

You get what anyone gets. You get a lifetime.

Well, ya. That's not exactly profound.

Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies.

That's not profound. That's "greeting card philosophy" — hardly serious. Try again.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Strike two.

Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.

OK, that just smacks of historical revisionism. I'm sure Stalin would have been right there with you on that.

Man is the missing link between apes and human beings.

And man-hating feminism, too. You're losing your audience, and I my patience.

If you're going through hell, keep going. Everybody is a star with the potentiality to shine in the infinite sky of eternity.

Say, you're getting to be a bit hyperbolic about all this, aren't you?

What else can i say after all this ?!

The less the better, I think.

That's what I get for having a commenter from "sexmuch.com" — this conversation is now over.

I think I may have to turn on comment registration. #$^&@! comment spammers....
