I know. that was all a big misunderstanding. but there is still circumstancial evidence that y'all implied something else. (sigh):rolleyes:

Well, I'll have to cancel AOL by either This Thursday or Friday. Tell me, what do y'all think about net zero?


but back to the main discourse.

the kitten was occupied in something else besides consuming roasted pig in the back of the house.

Tomas Rueda 06-15-2004 09:23 AM

is any body keeping the next sentence?

Crimson Ghost 06-16-2004 02:09 AM

Yes, I am.

Referring back to the hungry kitten, are we using the actual term "pig" to mean roast pork?

Or is it in reference ot the slang term for police?

Or, as I am hoping, is the word "pig" in the same usage as some of the Island cultures, where the term "long pig" is used to decribe human meat?

I'm hoping for Option 3.

I have a lot of A1 Steak Sauce.............

This years 4th of July BBQ is gonna be sweet...........

Tomas Rueda 06-16-2004 02:55 PM

Oh, Yuck.

Pig, pork, swine. anything that has to do with a carnivorous animal with a protuded probobscis and is used for mass consumption fits right in.

Tomas Rueda 06-16-2004 03:53 PM

hello kitty was putting her make-up in the back of the yard, not eating pork.

Tomas Rueda 09-03-2004 02:24 PM

A feline cared more to taste some pork in the backyard than anything else. (I can continue if thou so wouldst desire)

Get your Source right!
 
The Daili Lama didn't say this. A quick check of any "hoax" or "chainmail" website would reveal that this gem, going around the 'net yet again, was actually penned by, surprise, a Westerner, Mr. Jackson Brown and H. Jackson Brown, Jr. in their publication Life's Little Instruction Book.

Come on! There's no excuse for this sloppiness! :D

mrnoodle 12-12-2005 04:34 PM

These aren't getting buried deep enough, Marge. The dog's still finding em.

marichiko 12-12-2005 11:03 PM

WTF?

I read back about 30 post's worth and this was a cool thread, actually. I sure as hell don't know what Inklings is referring to or why he would choose to respond to a thread that had decomposed for more than a year.

Inklings, shouldn't you be worried about those who are currently taking the Dali Lama's name in vain rather than those who did so in the past? You, know, "be in this very moment" and all that? :rolleyes:

I went from page one, where the original question was asked, and I am now skipping to the end where I can give my answer.

No.

Yes, the Goddess exists. More later.

Elspode 01-05-2006 04:13 PM

Alright, another Goddess worshipper! Welcome to our small, but growing, number!

The born again experance for me was a physical movement, a rush more intence than anything I have ever experanced. Doubt if you will, but for me God is very real.

correct my spelling if you must

Becca 01-31-2006 11:01 PM

Very interesting. I used to be a "Christian" but the inconsistencies in the bible, in churches and other musings have led me to believe that if there is a Goddess/God - she is pissed at us and is leaving us alone to our own devices, is not omnipotent, or just doesn't care. Maybe we should just live life the best we can and leave everyone else alone.

ashke 02-01-2006 02:27 AM

Completely irrelevant but when someone says they're born again, I have this urge to ask them: "So you believe in reincarnation?"

Riddil 02-01-2006 09:54 AM

What about the idea that there's isn't a "God" with a plan, but there is some "higher power"? And I don't mean "intelligent design" stuff... I'm talking about the idea of a "higher power" analogous to "the force" in Star Wars, Chi in Doaism. Something more akin to 'gravity', than to 'omnipotent man in the sky'.

Of course you could go the Douglas Adams route.... not only was he atheist, he was militantly atheist. There is nothing more than what you see in front of you, and when you die you're dust in a box. Life is nothing more than electrical impulses passing through conductive substances orderly arranged in neat little cells. All bunched together.

*shrug* I could see the potential for any of the 3 camps to be "right".

1) All powerful man-in-the-sky
2) Yoda
3) Electric soup

Happy Monkey 02-01-2006 11:05 AM

Intelligent gravity?

A fifth fundamental force: Strong, Electomagnetic, Weak, Gravity, Smart

laebedahs 02-01-2006 04:38 PM

Wow this is an old post...

Anyways, where's the "I don't know" option? I'm agnostic, so that would be the best option for me.

Trilby 02-01-2006 04:44 PM

only a sexual deviant would be afraid to state his/her opinion.

you, laeb., must be a deviant.
