[quote]Let's face it, Obama won't win, he doesn't stand a chance and if I were him, I would run for the hills and forget about running for President of these United States! [/quote] That is the "Odacity of Hope" ... isn't it? I feel the same way as you do. Why in the world take all that abuse and nonsense???? for what? ... people get the government they deserve .... this is a very true statement. <spa
[quote]So, wait, the surge isn't working? Why is even the left news telling me it does work? Why are soldiers telling me it works?[/quote] It is not a puzzle to determine whether the surge has worked or not. It was made to look like one only because that is the only way McCain and Bush can say they did something right. It is very simple. just determine what was the
[quote]The fact that so many can't get over the fact that he is the one chosen as the candidate to represent the Democratic party, and he happens to be black?[/quote] That is what is bothering them. How in the world the Dems pick a black man to represent them? The Clintons couldnt take it either ... That is what the "fairy-tale" statement was all about. How in the world can you think that a black man coul
[quote]If you can find where McCain has even insinuated anything about his race, you have a point. [/quote] Obama never said McCain insinuated that. He Said "what they will try to do is make you scared of me" ... then he proceeded and counted the points that "they" are using to scare people. Now, you want to know who are "they" .... it is very obvious ... isnt it? the G
[quote]Just the hint of more oil coming into the market even 10 years from now had the price drop. [/quote] You could have achieved the same result, even more i think, if the oil companies announced that they will start drilling tomorrow in the areas where they have already ... more than 70 million acre ... why aren't they drilling there?????? they dont need permits, approvals, studies ...etc or anything else .. the
[quote]So you see God as divided? His attributes are separate from him? This is dualistic thinking.[/quote] I see God as divided?????? i just said He is Indivisible !!!! how can you reach that conclusion? of course His attributes are separate from Him ... just as yours are separate from YOU as a human being, as strength is separate from the steel, as light is s

I've not forgotten your kindness, and have since enjoyed slightly better circumstances, allowing me to send it on down the line. [/quote] Hello Lw.... i am glad that you feel better now ... best wishes to you both ... health-wise and also in everything else. as for me ... i am as i have always be
[quote]Yes, absolutely contradictory. Zen is nothing if not contradictory. God is God regardless of how he is defined, understood, or need, by humans. I am saying there are some people who understand him one way, others who understand him another.[/quote] If that is the case, then there is no way for a Zen-follower to reach any meaningful conclusion. As for the understa
[quote]In Zen we talk of Big Mind. By this we mean the Infinite, the Absolute. Some may understand this Big Mind as God.[/quote] [quote]Others need a much more anthropomorphic understanding and so deny that the Absolute or the Infinite is God. They want a God that suits them and their sensibilities, a God they can wrap their arms around. [/quote] Aren't those two stateme

[quote]This solution trecogises the historical injustice of evicting the Palestenians from the land and at the same time recognises that a jewish homeland, as promised in the Balfour Declaration is a reality.[/quote] In Jan 2007 i posted a proposal along the same line of thinking an dlisted the basis for it .... the logic behind it and its benefits for all .... here is the link if anyone is interested .... </
[quote]We are a nation that is so wrapped up in race we cannot get the stench out of our clothing[/quote] You should always remind yourself of what this country was built on .... (violence ... and slavery...!!!!).... it is its fate and that is the historical fact .... It is good that we realize that ... and we are trying ... (yes we are trying) to overco
[quote]Let's use an example they will understand.. [/quote] That won't work either ... no amount of logic or reality would penetrate those brains. The truth is they know it all and they know what they are doing and they are very clever in decieving. They are great conniving people ... i have to give them credit for that. Great lies, superb fabrication, unlimited arrogance, shamelessness without boundries. How el
Have you noticed that there is no one commenting !!!!! I am sure you know why. If you dont know ... read more of what the people on this site say .... they live in their own vertual universe hypnotized by the site's gurus about how bad the government regulations are and great Reagan and his revolution were. If you are old enough ... you will remeber that he, reagan is the one who started this deregualtion busine
Very well said. And, have you noticed how many comments you got so far?!!!!!! But you know what? ... I honestly believe that REAL Christians know that already and have no reason to "eat their hearts out" because the real ones never spread lies and rumors.
"Very rarely can any action be condoned as American, for there is never the full body voting in unison on any decision ." While i agree with most of what you said, this statement is pure wishful thinking. Do you use the same logic when judging others' actions?????!!! the answer is a sounding NOOOOOOO. No one does that. The actions of the top authority in any country ARE THE ACTIONS
In this election season, the words: Rich, Tax-Cutting, IRS-Extermination and Money-Stealing -From-The-Rich -Democrats are so prevalent in the speeches of the Rep. candidates that I thought about what these words do really mean. The first word, RICH, is defined by the Dictionary as: possession of wealth. Its Second meaning is Valuable. The first definition
[quote]There is in your various faiths more to unite you than there is to divide you. Do any of you consider what is required of you before you consider what is required of anyone else. After all, you reeking hypocrites, you are the ones who claim to know what it is that God wants of us.[/quote] Agreed Emp, Totally agreed. There are still good people in all of these faiths .... unfortunately they are very few .... very very few. more unfortunate, i dont think I
[quote]while change is a must in our current Gov't, I want good change and neither of the Democrats represent good change to me.[/quote] Wy dont you tell us what represents a "good change" to you charles? [quote] why would a poor person vote for a Democrat if not for self benefit, if not for envy of what rich people have, if not for wanting something they don't have to work for to earn. Take it as you may, but sometimes the truth hurts.[/quote] and if he is a selfless,
The only thing I know is that I don't know anything Arn't you over dramatizing the whole thing here? You, and we all, may not know a lot. Nevertheless, we know some things. and they are Real. we, and you, know for sure that we exist, and alive ..... and we were born ... and we will die.

[quote] The question is does he use them x apples more than you do.[/quote] absolutely ..... his business uses those resources in proportion to the No. of apples he produces. He personally uses them as much as anyone else but his business (the source of his money)uses it a lot more and used them to produce that money ... hence he pays more taxes. .... to pay for those same resources ...... simple logic ...... which obviously doesnt exist in your thinking. you want
[quote]he started by producing a couple apples by himself. Then, he hired someone, because he had the resources in place and they didn't, to get the third apple. This person probably produces two apples for the company and gets paid one[/quote] and this is what your economic smarts tell you? if he stopped at the two apples .... he would have paid NOOOOOO taxes whatsoever and what are these resources smart fellow????? without the resources provided by the socie
