The Root of Democracy

[vba_php]

Maybe she was smart enough to realise that trying to compare her imaginary friend with yours was a waste of her time

I am seeing a commonality among most of you access developers. no belief. I am not saying all of you guys are low quality, but there is a pattern here. when compared with other technologies like .NET, other OOP stuff lingering on the web and the newest and greatest junk like flexbox, grid, web api's and the like, it is common knowledge that working with that stuff is much more difficult than dealing with a simple program like access. perhaps that is relevant here?

and to further than point, I find many more believers in those pools of people who work with the above mentioned platforms than I do in those pools of you guys that work with access. when compared to working with sophisticated platforms, access is extremely simple in nature and doesn't take as much thought to put together viable products because they're so easily constructed. not to mention partially done for you when you start anyway. I'm just saying.... hmmmm.....

And what you are "just saying" betrays your ignorance of the complexity of Access when you start to delve deeper into the VBA options and Application Objects. The GUI for Access is supposed to be simple because it is an example of a "Rapid Application Development" tool. It ain't supposed to be painstakingly slow and tedious - until you get to the kind of problem that IS inherently slow and tedious.

 

[vba_php]

"Rapid Application Development" tool.

if you want the truth of the matter Richard, the whole obsession with "rapid application development" is a consequence of the fear that stems from the human mind. futhermore, the entire obsession of the general public with "rapid everything" is a consequence of what they have done over the last few thousands of years that is all coming to a head now. and now they don't know what to do about it. but truth be told, there IS nothing that can be done, because it is a human error that persists and will never go away until the world comes to an end.

but materially speaking, "rapid anything" is best because it allows for many things to come out of it:

=> ignorant people being empowered by allowing easy development of anything software related (essentially, no brain required).
=> soothing the fear that comes from humans about anything materially oriented (for instance, global warming, over population, and any other irrelevant fear that comes from people).
=> an excuse of why they are uncomfortable with concept of God's stillness.

that last point is very important. you may not realize this, but almost every human being is scared $hitless of that. which is why they act the way they do. acquiring money, wealth, fame, recognition, and anything else that is completely irrelevant. this must be why I'm hated by many when I go out in public. it's plain as day. but of course, i don't care one bit. it's to be expected. the world hated Jesus, and thus it hates anybody that obviously knows him in the heart. that can't be hidden, and it's plainly obvious. but until they come to the point of destroying themselves, they won't dare touch me because it is against the law. during the end, there will be no law because they will be in self-destruct mode, and people like me will be killed due to the hatred they have of themselves and what they've done. that is said in scripture, if you didn't know that.

who does then? rich oil drillers who are also missing the point? head coverings for women is what muslims do, right?

It is a consequence of not being able to afford long, drawn-out development projects because they are too expensive. Anything that makes it cost less to do something useful is a good thing. The fear is that sluggards who are self-taught can't keep up with the people who actually appreciate how to used R.A.D. tools constructively.

an excuse of why they are uncomfortable with concept of God's stillness.

No, they are uncomfortable because it means they have finally realized that the stillness means they don't have the sky-daddy to lean on (and never did), so now they have to face reality. You should try it sometime. It's actually exhilarating once you get accustomed to it.

you mean RAD tools developed by that junk company called microsoft? access is fine, but they are so worried about making money, they don't bother to do good stuff like this:

Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans

Laravel is a PHP web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

laravel.com

which, I believe at this point, I am going to use for my own website because it requires a lot of content. and that'll be much different than anything you've produced, old man.

A turban is worn by men of the Sikh religion. Muslim women wear a khimar, a type of scarf covering the head. As you are such an expert on religion, I would have thought you would know that.

sikh means nothing. Islam also means nothing. That's probably why I'm not an expert in it as you should have thought

And Adam, you are like the gong banging slowly, meaning nothing.

 

[vba_php]

If I had access to the dislike button old man, I would've pressed it a million times now because of you. and if I had any interest in black hat work, I would enable it myself, or basically dig into Jon's code to figure out a few other goodies, but since that's not me, I won't attempt it. I wouldn't want to piss off our leader.

That's a terrible thing to say. Totally blinkered and narrow minded.
You should be on good terms with all people, and be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. I spent some time in the Punjab and met many Sikh people, utterly charming and friendly and polite people. You could learn a lot from them.

not in the slightest. but if I DID run into them, I certainly wouldn't be a jerk. but I also certainly would spend too much time there.

Oh, I see... then please tell us what is different here that allows you to be a jerk?

maybe it's your unwillingness to accept the son into your life? not sure. but then again, I've already said that communication through machines means nothing. heart to heart. soul to soul. after all, he says:

where 2 or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them

he does NOT say:

where 2 or more are gathered in my name through electronic names, there I am among them
