The same with rents .... they put up shop rents ridiculously , in the 'popular' near by town it has a result of continually recycling some businesses , open and go broke and close in 6 months .... what happened to all those people that went broke and lost their money and business ? Now living at the homeless camp ? That's greed on property owners part .... but the stranger thing is the less popular towns , those shop rents are not affordably so the business closes down and so does the shop - empty or abandoned . Does this free market of ours immediately drop the rent as supply and demand would seem to dictate ? Nope , rent stays up , no one rents it owner gets no money at all ... but they won't offer cheaper rent . So now some small town centers look 20 % abandoned with empty and boarded up shops while the owner looses money . WTF ? Its almost as if you pay for the privileged and experience of running a shop for a little while . That reminds me of 'intern directors ' ; I worked on a film in Melbourne and they do it a bit different 'down there ' , I never seen so many 3ADs ( third assistant directors , basically menials that run errands, hold and release crowds of extras from their 'holding pens' onto sets etc . I talked to some and they were enthusiastic and one said something about being an 'intern' . I had to ask . Apparently the company advertised film intern positions for trainee ship ...... " Are they paying you ?" Oh no, but I get training and experience on a film set and free lunch ! ... Wow ! getting another job as film director with that experience is like an actor claiming past experience as being there a dead body in a crime series or suffering incontinence in a tv commercial .... "Oh right ! You were that adult diaper woman with the urinary problem ! "

One supposes he wanted to see the effects and the whole food chain on planet earth collapse . Lairg's contexts seem to be to take anything and vaguely relate it to some exploit of his how he was rather evolved and fantastic on some obscure and abstract cosmic level Porridge may be habitual and therefore not really a 'choice' ... you would have to go shopping , really feel like and want to have porridge , go to take the porridge and then .... no ! I choose by an act of my own free will to have Count Chocula's ! And then you will be free ! .... but constipated . Oh wait ..... unless you realized you got influenced by me saying this , so it would not work ..... choose unicorns instead .... Doh ! yes, that's a good one ! However what if they had an elder brother who was good at sports and the family pressured one to do likewise . OR other even unseen or unconscious forces were at play 'driving' you to certain choices ( which is why in psychology such forces are called 'drives' ). Things might be a LOT more complicated than they seem on the surface .

You chose to end plankton ???? Like; eliminate plankton so it was no more ? You are becoming even more obscure . Of course it does ! What, you haven't noticed ? I freely choose to do some thing , it causes external effects , if they are the effects I wanted then something is controlled , changed, developed or destroyed .

Brilliant ! Its a great story line . Kurt Vonnegut ( you will know him, of course ) studied story lines in depth and realized there were some main popular stories that have similar story line plots and realized Cinderella and the Bible have the same graph (IE. the Bible story , we have not experienced the end yet , Jesus is supposed to come back yet and make a new good kingdom ) which made the story so popular . All stories with that graph are the best liked . But here you have transposed one part of the 'big story ' ( from the Bible ) with another modern pop story plot and the way you described it is also a classic of mythology relating to an another 'Bastard of a God' Zeuss . What happens there ? Hades ( Darth Vader ) comes to Zeuss ( seemingly benevolent sky wizard ) , his brother and wants to have his way with Persephone ( wanted her , his niece, to 'be his wife' ) ... IE. his own niece... or 'us' . Now that makes her Zeuss' own daughter , and she is underage ... but mhe ... okay to please his brother , but mum and wife won't like this , so just abduct her and take her to Hades (realm ) . Through God's will or at slackness he allows his brother to rape his underage daughter . .. 'turns a blind eye and lets him have his way with you ' . No God doesn't have free will . Read the Bible . he is restricted and controlled by lower base ego, jealousy, rage, aggression , greed .... all the stuff that we KNOW is not good, healthy or advancing to us or our society ........ yet ... what a strange state of affairs ! The ethical system God follows is one written and created for him by the scribes of Josiah's time , back dating texts about the founding of a new nation by a people coming out of a wilderness and creating a great Kingdom , like the world had never seen in order to justify their about to happen moves north from Judah into the devastated Israel that just had the Babylonian overlords retreat from and set up the Kingdom there "again' , just like there used to be . Until he went north on campaign and tried to do that and an Egyptian put a spear through his chest . That's where the 'ethical system' comes from ; late Bronze - early Iron Age warlord attempting to overtake a devastated ex war zone . Oh, and where does God get his authority ? Another God higher up ? I read once someone asking what holds the world up ? Giant turtle . What holds the turtle up ? He got elephants under him holding him up . But what holds the elephants up ? Each elephant has a turtle under each foot . But what holds those turtles up ? " Look you ! It's turtles and elephants all the way down , okay ! "

"Preferred belief '' ? I wonder if you realize what that implies ? It's also a lame doge for when someone is pointed out to be making a false claim in order to back up their 'preferred belief' system . and very typical of the 'modern new age spiritualist' . There may however be difficulties when ... you just make up stuff as you go along and when pointed out you are wrong... ascend to a higher plane of snootiness . But I regret to inform you Snooty died some time back

Well well ... run your flag up your pole and salute it ! While you concentrate on being a citizen of the Great America that is OBVIOUSLY MORAL and NEVER committed an atrocity anywhere ... especially in its own country and against its own people ! Never committed an atrocity against the slaves and their descendants they took there , let alone the original inhabitants . Never nuclear tested over the pristine Pacific dislocating happy peaceful people ..... never sold weapons of mass death and maiming all over the world .... on an on it goes Meanwhile you do an idiot Homer Simpson dance with your fingers in your ears Its rather sickening ... no wonder Old Bob feels the way he does ! You are working overtime here to appear an absolute idiot ! And to do that continually and deliberately to annoy people or cause disruption is trolling the site . And you have already said you are doing this deliberately and being deliberately stupid .

Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

It should be symbiotic . Now, through a wrong analogy you make a wrong postulation and then suggest it might be an invalid definition ? It already does and it already did . And it has already been explained. It has been western ignorance through modern times and the religious interference with the original word meaning and concept that caused the modern 'undelicate' classification . If you have not already - put it through an etymological analysis and track the history and meaning of terms . besides on many levels humans are a collective - nothing wrong with things living off us, they do it all the time, actually its essential ! The problem is, as usual, when things get out of balance . It was also of prime importance for our earliest evolution ... we are virtually a conglomeration of organisms .... even non organic AI agrees ' " AI Overview Learn more Yes, the statement "the human organism is a collective of various organisms" is true. The human body harbors a vast and diverse population of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, but also including fungi, archaea, viruses, and protozoa. This diverse microbial community, collectively known as the human microbiome, is integral to human health and function... The microbiome is a separate level of organization, existing within the human body as a collective of microorganisms. " The human 'psychological self' developed and exists in the same way but operates under the mode of 'one self' . . -

Krishna got crucified did he ? I thought he stuffed from 'Achilles syndrome' ? They list Prometheus as well who was specifically not allowed to die , and Mithra , who we have no record of dying . A very LAME POSTULATION backed up by nothing .

Perhaps after death ? When they will get what they deserve in eternal punishments and torture ? I am glad I don't carry that one around in my psyche anymore ! No wonder some people seem disturbed ! here is a good one ; Ouch ! Not only 'owies' but God do magic to keep you alive forever so you can keep feeling the agony ..... Good ol' God !

Close enough ! and a lot closer than the "Oh he just hates me " cop out .

Which reminds me of other strange things like that ; People who think they hold a privileged arsehole position : Legal jobs , especially solicitors and lawyers . When I had to use one in a years long case in the Supreme Court , I first assumed he was a greedy money grabbing bastard . Then some 'suspect money' was paid to bribe him to take the case on but we made it look like legal assistant fees ( and that work I actually did ' 60K's worth at his estimate ) which the prosecutor suspected and started cross examining us on . The solicitor was freaking out that I would snap under cross-examination and put him in , I assured him I would not ..... as long as we still had a 'defense running ' ( 'nice' way of putting it ) And because they froze our accounts ( or tried to ) so we could not fund a defense ( that's how they work ; yes, we will fight you in the ring ... tie his hands behind his back first ) he had to keep working for free which he didn't like at all , one time outside court he abused me ( Oh ? Its all right for YOU to do that ? ) including saying " You got me over a barrel ." I responded " Oh ? How does it feel when its the other way around ? " he went off ! " You are not supposed to talk to your solicitor like that , I am a professional and we are to be treated with respect ! " I patted him on the back and said " You'll be right ..... barrel boy ! " and he " And your not supposed to touch your solicitor as well ! " Chefs ... where on earth did they get off thinking they can throwing emotional tantrums, being rude to staff , etc . I had to work with one guy that tried it , I immediately questioned why he thought he had the right to be like that at work when no one else or no other jobs allow that ? " Its a creative genius thing, where are temperamental; and and are under a lot of stress at work , and we do important work feeding people, its essential ! " Me ; " Yet if someone under 10 times the amount of stress and responsibility , like a a paramedic, a nurse , a police officer did it ? " The guy actually slammed his knife down and walked out . I went out to find him outside sitting on a bench crying ! Curious that law, medicine and food are covered there . What other professions , that are supposed to be for our service , do you lot find self important arseholes in ? .

Why I first went to a TCM practitioner : I went to the regular doctor and told him my symptoms , he listened with this smarmy look on his face , then... get this ... THEN he says, " I don't think so ." He didn't think I was having the symptoms I described to him . I really wanted to reach over grab his hair and jerk it down and smash his forehead into the desk ..... I really wanted to , so much so , the muscles involved in that where twitching .... bastard ! I restrained myself , walked out and down the street , saw TCM and went in . Doctor did the usual checks and examinations and asked me nothing, and I said nothing , until he started asking me if I felt this or experienced that , and his questions where virtually a list of my symptoms that Dr Dickhead did not believe I was having !

Oh dear . Seriously ? I am sure you can get your opinion across without being such a ...... literalist ! What is the difference between a literalist and a thief ? A comma . - A literalist takes things literally while a thief takes things, literally .
