    Schools Are Removing Analogue Clocks From Exam Halls As Teenagers Cannot Tell The Time

    I do find that kind of weird but at the same time reading an analog clock is kind of a three-step process unlike a digital clock but I don't think it's particularly hard. I know some people who get confused if times are not in military time, ect It more so depends on what you are used to. But...

    WWE's Decision to Host Event in Saudi Arabia Draws Criticism

    Do you feel, particularly in relation to these types of issues (women's rights ect), that cultural relativism is incorrect? Do you think there is validity in the concept of cultural relativism? I can understand why they took the position they did. They are trying to get into a new market and...

    Kapala (Scalp) liberation...

    I don't recall that in the Gita... I went ahead and checked Chapter 8 in the "As it is" translation and noticed the mention of "planets" but the concept of planets wasn't back then like it is today; Krishna speaks of a "material planet' but I'm pretty sure that he means "realms". When I've...

    The Perfect Ringtone

    Mine's this: I think my phone only rings for about 18 seconds though. The snare and hats cut right through most anything my phone might be under if I throw it on my bed or whatever. I get really anxious when I hear those high piercing RING RING RING of traditional phone sounds and alarms. Not...

    [LHP] Why am I afraid?

    I kindly ask you to take your propaganda elsewhere. The Left Hand Path's origins are Hindu and the majority of LHP practitioners worldwide are Hindu and so so called 'eastern LHP' will always be as much Left Hand Path as it's western counterparts. We got centuries on you and honestly your...

    Fall of a fake Hindu Godman

    About time. Too many con artists posing as spiritual leaders. People need to heed the warning that money and religion mixed is a very grave sign. Unless there is transparency and the money is going into helping the community it shouldn't be involved in the process. Though I'm not sure why this...

    [LHP] Why am I afraid?

    It's similar to what I do... I might focus more on the dark out of preference but I recognize both the light and darkness in Shiva/Satan. Ultimately, Right Hand Path will come down to following orthodox values and injunctions in regards to worship, ritual and actions, and Left Hand Path will be...

    What's So Morally Wrong With Suicide?

    Hm. Well I don't know if I would call that moral, but I certainly wouldn't see that bad, maybe even good if they were in jail for life and were just costing taxpayer money, but I'm not sure I could call it moral. It seems more like a neutral act to me. There have been cases of that with...

    What's So Morally Wrong With Suicide?

    Can you give an example of when it would be a moral thing to do? I assume we are not talking about in cases of doctor assisted due to great illness. I took a double take at that too. I'm also surprised how many people are against fur clothes.

    This Forum Has Been the Same for 14 Years

    I dunno. I've talked with a lot of former and current members and most felt the overall member base has changed to varying degrees. I think things did change, very slowly. Like a frog in a warming pot it's often hard to tell if you are constantly involved. However I don't think it was the forum...

    [LHP] Why am I afraid?

    You're not fooling yourself. A lot of LHP folks who say that the RHP is inherently opposed are applying the term Right Hand Path to things that don't really fit the term and honestly a lot of the misunderstanding comes from how the term was misapplied in the last century or so. Traditionally...

    New strike on Syria without congressional approval.

    It legit was 3 minutes to midnight. You can spin my statement anyway you want but that's what it was at.

    Kapala (Scalp) liberation...

    Look I don't know how literal you take this but it sounds like some of this is beyond the scope of my religious beliefs so I can't really give you a good answer. At the very least we are not talking the same "language" if you are being metaphorical. I believe in Samsara and liberation from it...

    New strike on Syria without congressional approval.

    Ya, it's true that Presidents can take limited military action without congressional approval. WW3 here we come. I think a couple of days ago, IIRC we were 3 minutes from midnight not sure about right now.

    Kapala (Scalp) liberation...

    A thought I just had, as I was reading about something unrelated with the head a couple of days ago, but skull structure can change slightly due to hormonal changes in adulthood and so I think it's possible that changes in nutrition over long periods of time could cause this. A lot of ascetics...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Alright thank you....looking up the first one the closest copy is in University library a good drive away... I'll have to see if I can find something similar. Geeze that's pretty expensive for a 30+ year old text. But at least that gives me an idea of where to start. Shrugs. It was my...

    Is Shiva the Supreme God in Hinduism?

    Sure, why not? It's not like Hinduism is a diverse set of religions and beliefs that share the same cosmology/deities. If you think Shiva best represents the supreme, then join us Shaivites. If you think it's Vishnu, join the Vaishnavas. If you think they all do, be Smarta or something. In my...

    How does Special Relativity effect an orbit?

    I'm fairly sure it doesn't. That's why it was generalized in 1915. General relativity - Wikipedia Special = E=Mc^2 General = gravity stuffs General Relativity has consistently stood up to every experimental test since, most famously during observations of Solar Eclipses where stars behind...
