It doesn't matter who lives there, the issue seems to be who owns the land. Is this not how wars continue to perpetuate, through this continual ideal that we "own" land, and then charge people an extortionate amount of money to live on it, via tax and usury?
I am not saying we should GIVE the...
Wow, the answer to me seems so obvious. People aren't experiencing happiness due to external things, intellect may give rise to certain levels of intelligence, but the causes of happiness are phenomena which exist within the continuum of the body and mind.
I rather enjoy a tinkle on the keyboard, so I thought a short story thread might be in order. Please offer your critisisms or comments to mine and please feel free to post your own creative literature.
Foetal Imprisonment
I am plugged into the machine. Can you hear me? I have been living...
My first computer was a 8 bit acorn electron, and back then I was happy when I could play Pacman with my eyes closed. When you could make your own games with C:/, when the crazy noises a Spectrum made was music to you ears, unless it crashed, which it did, a lot. Now we have mega machinse which...
I don't think anyone's trying to measure something formless with physical methods. I think what's being asked for is evidence. This could be, subject (a) tells subject (b) how to pray so subject (a) experiences the effects of prayer according to the method given, again and again. conclusive...
I think it follows along the same line of thought as "Wow, look how majestic the lion is as he rips out the throat of that gazelle". There are some people who find a beauty in that kind of killing and an admiration in the ability to be very effective in their means. To say that a pathological...
The mere fact they're open to being converted completely contests their atheism. They should have used 10 agnostics in that case. This strikes me as a religious raffle. What's the prize? One other point, since Buddhism was only brought to Tibet in 754 AD, I'd have thought Bodh Gaya a better...
I'm a full time mother. I don't get paid and work more hours than some brain surgeons. My kids are little bastards though, so maybe I'm not very good at my job. At least I don't have to answer to a boss.
Just one? Ah crap. I think the world foods aisle in ASDA is my favourite migrant food, although they don't do sushi.
I'd have to go with avocados... no, wait, erm, pizza, or madras. Crap, this is too hard. can we talk about photons instead?
When we talk about cannabis users it's always compared to alcoholics. Yes, there are those who will overuse the drug and develop a number of unwanted effect, psychosis being one of them. But there are those who use cannabis in much the same way as others use alcohol responsibly. Not everyone who...
Again, my reservations with a User Rep system is that prolific posters of wit would gain far more popularity than a member who uses the forum to post fewer but of more substance. If post count were the only factor in the users being deemed more valuable that would mean that someone like myself...
