    should certain animals be made instinct?

    I used to have snakes as pets too, and I would enjoy watching them devouring mice whole (I owned two diamond pythons). Snakes are nature's way of keeping the rodent population down and I guess if I took a swing at mice, I'd have to look at snakes then, so I'll leave mice alone - for now, even...

    should certain animals be made instinct?

    7. Puffer Fish The height of an evolutionary oxymoron (and a fisherman's worst nightmare if one ever swallows your hook). Why bother to have all those spines and the ability to blow itself up like a balloon, when the flesh is deadly poison anyway? (even to sea creatures that would even try to...

    should certain animals be made instinct?

    I love cats too, don't get me wrong, I am trying to approach this from an ecological, conservative viewpoint (ignoring the obvious fact that human beings should be made extinct). Do you get my approach now?

    should certain animals be made instinct?

    6. Domesticated Cats As cute and fluffy as they are, they are one of the most evil, vicious and cruel sadistic hunters out there, that will kill anything for 'sport'. Cats are the only creatures besides humans (and sharks) who will actually kill for pleasure and they make no...

    should certain animals be made instinct?

    5. Rabbits: Now, here is another problem that was faced when mankind tried to make a species 'extinct' once *see cane toads. We have always had (and still have) a huge rabbit problem, competing with native marsupials and farming livestock for food and contributing to soil erosion in many...

    should certain animals be made instinct?

    I would like to propose an argument, as a 'nature lover', who can also see the total harm and devastation to the environment caused by the overpopulation of one species within an ecosystem. We shall take Australia: 1. Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo: These are a real menace, and exfoliate native...

    Brahman/Maya & The Two Truths

    Precisely. To extrapolate the infinite is impossible, the only outcome of mental process begins at the very point where Purusha (energy) 'animates' (for lack of a better word), Prakriti (force/will). It is at that point, where latent becomes potent, yet still rests within that eternal latency...

    How Do You Personally Decide Whether Someone Is Intelligent?

    You know, I was actually waiting for that. You are too predictable, mate...way too predictable...:D

    How Do You Personally Decide Whether Someone Is Intelligent?

    When they can understand what I am saying without asking me; 'what do you mean?' all the time.

    Elderly Man Wakes Up At Funeral Home In Body Bag

    I would be able to see the funny side in that, if I was that guy....but then again, I'm twisted.

    How to stop all thoughts for good.

    As postscript to the above - At least one thing I know now (and after months of worrying)... Before I went to the hospital, I was worried about my migraines (thinking it may be an aneurysm or cancer or something) and I was also worried about my physical health in general...I had many thoughts...

    How to stop all thoughts for good.

    I thought I'd share a story about what happened to me yesterday. I am a migraine sufferer and occasionally, I will get one so bad, I need to take myself off to the hospital for treatment (that only happens a few times a year, thank god). Anyway, the hospital decided to keep me in overnight for...

    Death by Dogma

    As mentioned above, in a great post by Sees, there's the community bonding, sharing experiences, helping each other within the framework of their own philosophy and being overseen by a 'divine being'...this is all known by one word - 'fellowship' okay, 'Satsangha' (in the company of Truth)...

    Death by Dogma

    Well, for more than one God, it can be like a 'Rock Band theory'...I haven't worked out the 'Buddhist angle' yet though.

    Death by Dogma

    You don't have to 'identify' with any religion at all, but when one worships God(s) of a certain religion, adopts practices of a certain religion, believes in the aims and ideals of a certain religion, that 'identification' soon follows, *if it hasn't already preceded it. Religion is only...

    Death by Dogma

    In regards to Duality vs Non-Duality, it does if you really go into it.
