humans are a worthless and greedy lot

 

Aaah yup, just gonna sit with Arthur, Ford and Trillian and have a nice cup of tea and a sandwich.


Oh and why was Antiballer banned, I read his posts and he did nothing outside of the norm.

 

i'm glad he was banned. obvious troll was obvious.

 

Yeah, but we don't ban trolls for being obvious trolls.

is it a girl or a dude noone knows thats the fun..same with cankles

Alright ladies were gonna play a game im gonna tun the heat all the way up and the first one to have a bead of neck sweat touch their ass crack wins.

 

OP, you might want to study buddhism..........

 

Buddhism has the same aversion to vaginal birth as Christians do. Why are men so afraid of the vagina?

-S-

 

Maybe because they have no control over it?

 

Yeah but... I mean we spend our whole lives questing after it, everything we do is in an attempt to attain more of it, (for us straight guys, anyway) yet those patriarchal religious types spend so much time in fear of it.

Somebody needs a pimp slappin'.

-S-

 

'Religious types' belong to an organisation that is designed to control the population. If they can't control it, they fear it. Look at female circumscision and the stoning of adulterors - not common in Christianity or Buddhism granted, but an extreme form of control.

 

It's not common now. But it was. And don't think Buddhism is all teddy bears and butterflies. It, just like any other religion, got in to power in asia and was responsible for a lot of death and suffering. Buddhists did some horrible shit back in the day.

I should just point out, for the sake of accuracy, that regardless of what someone appears to have posted on this thread, the statement 'nothing is random' is false.

Perhaps a cursory study of radioactive decay will illuminate the issue.

 

Lord no, I have a supposedly enlightened Buddhist friend who in the interests of compassion will not have her partner's daughter in the house in fear that she 'contaminates' her own son. I know it's not rainbows and butterflies - ever read the book of the dead? Heard of the hungry ghosts?

 

No, I haven't read that book. But, I will tell you a funny story. Once, in my first year as a teacher in South Korea, I had a student. She was very cute, about 9 years old and so precious you wanted to pack her up in a suitcase and take her home with you.

Once day she asked me if I was a Christian and I told her no, that I wasn't. Then she asked (in her hand gesture sign language-y way) if I was a buddist. (Her English wasn't all that great.) And I told her no, that I was nothing. She then went on to tell me that her mother was a Christian and her father was a buddhist and that her mother said her father was going to hell. And she was visibly upset about this. I felt so bad for her and hated her mother for making her daughter think that her father would be punished for all eternity.

Fuck the police. (And by police, I mean religion.)

-S-

 

Ouch - terrible what some people do to their children. The partner of the above Buddhist had his ex (sorry that's a bit complicated but bear with me) telling his kids that he had abused them as young children. Ironic then that their new stepfather did indeed try to abuse my friend's daughter. Luckily she was old enough to tell him where to get off and told her mother - who denied it and made no objection when she left home. All the more reason that my buddhist friend should have sheltered and supported her.

Ok rant over. It's rare to find a religious person who practices what they preach.

 

No truer words were ever spoken....

I am one of those "religious types" who does practice what is preached..

However, we are expressly forbidden to preach.

IMO. religion is like money.. a good idea that went very wrong very fast.

 

Trans you piece of crap!!!

I wish crap like you could go to a hospital in the children cancer ward and trade your fucking sorry for yourself live with one of those brave, scared and wanting to live children!!! They are more of a person in their short lives then you are or will every been!!!

Most of them would give anything just to live, yet here you are encrusted in self pitty!!

Remember the highlighted bit when you start feeling sorry for yourself and how your life "sucks"

 

I should just point out that no, it's not.
