I'm happy for people who are happy. Just don't force me to like your personal choices when you may not like the answer. I think the pendulum has swung too far IMHO.
I've taken about as much as I can with political correctness gone mad, like letting boys go to girls public bathrooms and vice...
I invite anyone who is straight and unashamed to post here and tell us when you found out you were straight. Apparently it is now intolerant and bigoted to be straight and proud in this upside down politically correct society we live in.
Straight and Proud! Unite!
I don't have to quote anything from a book. I have a brain and I know how to use it. You can hide behind a book all you want. How's that working for you?
No, good try but no joy for you.
You don't get to mash up guns with terrorism. Terrorism is terrorism.
There is nothing to do but condemn terrorism wherever it is found.
Hi Madhuri
I actually think it is a very wise and compassionate and graceful way to be aware of what sustains your body and mind. We too, will be food for creatures some day. It is about the circle of life and to take time to thank the creature for feeding your body helps place importance on...
I think what I miss in this day and age (and this is where it gets real sticky I suppose) is the prayer at the beginning of class in my homeroom. Now, before there is apoplexy, I can see that because I am in a Christian country (predominantly and Christians founded it) we said a Christian...
Hi Penumbra,
Have you heard the famous quote, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!"?
Basically it means if you think you have a correct notion of what it means to be enlightened, then you need to throw out (kill) that image and keep meditating/praying/contemplating, etc.

Very well said. I find myself mourning the loss of common sense on a more regular basis these days as I see lemmings happily being led off the cliff. It appears to me that the issues of the day are not understood by the majority of the voters. During this past election, many young people voted...
Completely agree with you! It is so refreshing for me to read your rant! Spot on! I am Canadian btw, but also American. I have Dual Citizenship (my Mom was born in Mass.). My sister (who lives in Montreal) voted in the last election and was heartbroken with the results. I haven't registered to...
More gun control is not the answer - the horse has long gone from the barn on that one. This tragedy highlighted once again that mental health issues need a huge injection of interest, cash, training, facilities, etc. You will never prevent, however, a crazy from doing what a crazy does. I would...
Good to be back! Sometimes I have to flit around for awhile before I find a really good nest. I have discovered I am a Christian Mystic and I love it!
Peace; love and light, everyone!
It's hard to feel good today because I have received some disturbing news about this forum and I don't like it. A friend who was wise and open-minded has been banned by the powers that be because of multiple complaints. He was not told the nature of these complaints, just that they were...
