    Should we bomb Agrabah?

    Meanwhile.... Check my earlier posts (will find it for you later if requested) ...I predicted a major influx of heroin this year after bumper crop in Afghanistan last season. On ABC news (Australia ) yesterday, a story about huge increase in heroin traffic here following 'crackdown' on ice...

    Is rebirth essential to Buddhism?

    Every birth is a rebirth. Every 'moment' is a rebirth. When Gautama was asked if he would take birth again he said that wherever wisdom arises is his rebirth. What is reborn ? This Being, which is neither self nor not self. Who woke this morning ? Not the falsely imagined self of yesterday. Yet...

    Irish pastor on trial for 'insulting Islam'

    It is impossible to insult an abstraction. Given that the Koran insults all who reject it, it only seems fair that those who reject it should be free to return the insult. If not, all sections of the Koran which insult non-muslims should be banned. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

    This is why they Hate us.

    It is a serious question. I think it is complicated. First idea - when we act according to our own principles, whatever they may be, self esteem is the result, and conversely when we act against our own principles, self loathing is the result. That gets complicated by the impact of peer...

    FWIW...they often go to a corner and cry too. It comes with being human.

    On Getting Older

    Good ideas for growing old disgracefully - Magnesium, for muscle soreness. Also a great relaxant, sleep aid. Nootropics for cognitive function and neuroprotective effects. Research indicates these compounds help prevent Alzheimer's. Glutamine to enable stronger workouts without crashing. Gingko...

    I prefer to chew goat. Occasionally I suck a camel. I prefer them unfiltered.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    Quote the part of my post which said they are secular. You are just making stuff up. I stated clearly - "They are brave, desperately fighting for survival.And they are Muslim." The really weird thing here is I have given an example of 1. Muslims at a grass roots level fighting ISIS 2.They...

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    What a gobsmacking question. So many haters are attacking ordinary decent people who happen to be Muslim. What inconceivable arrogance and ignorance. After watching videos of the women of Kurdistan -simple village women thrust into horror by ISIS - forming themselves into an army to defend...

    What do you really do when you get there?

    This song sums up how stoopid some ideas about heaven are. FWIW, heaven is nirvana, the peace beyond craving and aversion, IMO. You don't need to die to experience it.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    I'm not condoning it. I have no time for militant Islam, or dictators, or governments which lie and start wars, or outlaw motorcycle gangs, or corporate bullies etc etc. All the same in my book.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    That was not a reference to your post. My references to your post do however contain various examples of the US govt tendency to engage in the equivalent to taqiyya, albeit secular, which despite being statements of historical fact are dismissed by many as hysterical fiction without being...

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    Yep. I will continue this later folks. Maybe by then some of my posts will have been answered. Without dismissive insult like 'conspiracy theory'. Maybe.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    "In God We Trust" "One nation under God" And my favorite - "manifest destiny" The country now called the USA was originally invaded by The Puritans, a fundamentalist Christian sect too militant and malignant for Europe. History.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    *facepalm* Oh well. You aren't the only reader here, and I have no doubt most of them get it.

    ISIS: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM

    Please note - I am providing verifiable data. It is called conspiracy theory by those who wish to dismiss it without cogent argument. And I note..they are not responding to my examples.
