Re: Paris in The Clink

She's no criminal. She drove drunk. She is not only a criminal, she is one of the worst sorts of criminals there are, the truely random ones. She doesn't care who she hurts or kills. Will it be me? I've never done anything to her, but I do drive, so maybe. Who knows? Who cares? She certainly doesn't.

Re: General Difficulties & Solution

How do you expect to overlay a system where everyone's basic needs are met with free market capitalism? I mean, that's essentially what we have today with the exception that everyone's needs aren't met. Although SSI and SSD payments vary by person, I am living at about half of the poverty level, and...

There's simply not enough of us here to feed and house the admin. At best, the website could be partially paid for, but most people here are rather poor, anyway... a good number don't work either and those who do aren't likely to be executive types who could afford to pay for 3 people's livelihoods ...

Re: Spreading wisdom on the web

Kelly, it appears that the left side of the page has too much stuff while the right is a bit unbalanced. Or maybe it's just that the google bar was in an odd spot neither center nor right?

To play devils advocate though - it may seem as though you're asking money in exchange for wisdom which is a bit fishy.

Re: Am I doing something wrong here?

I've only read 3 pages, but I think they have a valid point in that the number of posts you started with was a bit odd. You might have done better to have one post with several quotations in it. The way you did it does look odd to me.

Re: The Lethargic working class

Summer camp councelor had the same effect on me. It wasn't strenuous physically but involved a lot of stress/adrenaline keeping track of 20 7 year olds. I got an hour break every day and I just slept. It was sad. But also, I think a lot of it was that I was always in the sun. I've found, since movin...

Re: In the News

I have not much relevant to add, but a random story, which is that Mary went to the first college I went to (Colorado College) and her father blames the school for making her into a lesbian. It just all points to a significantly more feminine society down the track, as their kids will be growing up ...

Re: Faith

In making this distinction, I think it would serve this discussion well if you would define your idea of faith in this context for us. Faith in this context is both belief that is acted upon. In otherwords stating "I am a Christian" is different than actually basing your life upon the wor...

Re: Faith

I think faith is nothing more than a declaration of belief, nothing more than a statement. The majority of those who claim to have faith are no different to those who don't have faith if they but remained silent. I think that is true of religion . I'm not sure how true of actual faith it is though....

Re: it bites

I think it's important to think about emotions, rather than to express or suppress them. OK, so don't use the ignore function yourself since that is the position you are in. What does it matter to you whether someone else uses the ignore function? This sounds a lot more like paranoia that you'll be...

And no, using the scrolling function doesn't work very well for ignoring someone who is intentionally abusing you.

Re: The Reasoning Show - Dr V.V. Raman
