  1. I must be . Thanks for the correction, see above . I see . Some type of 'gamer speak' I suppose . Okay . ( I hope you are not a Judge or Magistrate ) Its more that I see a rather obvious difference between 'vengeance' and 'punishment ' .... and you do not . Am I understanding yet ? ? Did you mean this one ; " By the way, why do you like empty spaces, empty lines and lack of order of symbols like (" logical " ?) so much ? " I just like them .... I like empty spaces because I prefer the open countryside to the city , standing on the beach and looking out to the wide expanse of the Pacific , the uncluttered night sky horizon , etc . I like walking the empty lines , when they are abandoned , no risk of trains coming , they cross the gullies and streams, they are fairly level and might even tunnel through the mountain in places .... excellent for a rainforest walk ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorrigo_railway_line .... its also interesting if you are into abandoned locomotives ; .
  2. I have found a system that allows you to be able to toss a tank . Just sit here .... ......

    But ........ " illogical " .
  4. Strengthening Connections

    Indeed . In 'the good old days ' here , I suppose I have helped working on about 4 houses that have been built here . Even moreso , making something all the community can use . I remember , a log time back , a gang of us developed the old farm house on the property ; knocked out some walls, expanded the kitchen into a better working space to cook for 30 - 50 people ( for a special event dinner with guests ), a huge decking/ verandah / performance stage . When that was finished , it really put the level up ; many shared meals , cafe and restaurant / cabaret nights , plays on the verandah /stage etc .
  5. Strengthening Connections

    On community there are some essentials for this ( cultivating and strengthening bonds between people ) , when we are healthy all this functioned good , when we are not , we dont have it at all . One thing that works is community work days where people come together and focus and do good work, with a group a lot can be achieved in a few hours and then everyone gets a sense of accomplishment and something achieved . And its a good idea to follow that later with Community meal . Where you can sit down, enjoy, relax, share . They have a LOT of trouble getting this together for a few years now . It used to work very well , doing those things . And then the converse arises , one symptom of that is erratic , emotive and unfocused meetings , even in the admin and business type meetings . For a loooooooooooooooong time I have been trying to implement a system similar to what the Baha's use ; you have a 'feast' / 'social meeting' once a month , for connection, sharing but also to discuss ideas and projects or bring attention to what arises . The directors , leaders or focalisers of the group should be present and be mindful of that process , forming it, when needed, into modes of action, directions, forming of committees or agenda items for the other type of monthly meeting , the 'business' or 'administrative ' meeting , where such things 'put into action ' . That way , in the first meeting, people get to discuss, ramble , go off and on topic, express hopes and desires and new ideas ( and then the business meeting is not bogged down by all that ) . The second meeting might not need to be attended by everyone , its more administrative and about putting the ideas into action within the form of governance ( in this case , the community ) , it can be more focused as a lot of the energy is dispelled in the first type of meetings and not everyone wants to sit through a boring administrative meeting . But they didnt want to do that ..... a bit too attached to the old system ..... which can actually weaken the connections .
  6. Strengthening Connections

    Well, yesterday , I did get a lot a closer to a friend .... I helped her dig out a toilet pit . Soon we will be concreting together making the strip footings and the floor slab . .... Hand written notes, in snail mail eh ? Wow .... when was last time I got one of them ! A letter that is not typed , with no letter head on it ??? I thought above friend might appreciate that too ( she still actually reads books ... not ebooks , not some type of AI generated books , real old school cover and paper books with printing on the pages ! ) . ..... but , in this modern world ... ... I have no idea what her address is to send the letter to . .
  7. Read the OP . He wants to be like a tank or a nuke . And that is no where as silly s thinking he means he is gonna individually go around punching out world leaders and dictators , 'within arms reach ' . No ... I corrected it , away from the projection you where putting on the OP A statement with a question mark - that either means you are calling me retarded or asking me if I am . Lets go with the second one ; It would seem you want to know , in context of what led me to make that comment , if I should be concerned about a plan to eliminate the retarded as that might include me and if I am not, why should I worry . if I am totally off on my understanding of this , its due to the strange and fractured nature of your responses ... which could be taken a number of ways . More non - sense . By me not writing i no way would bring the thread under control . But by writing and pointing out some of you guys have projected your negative feelings emotions and would be solutions .... into Man Conduit's , maybe will make the 'enlightened' more aware of what they are doing and perhaps examine whatever motivated them to do that in the first place .
  8. The Learner and Indiken are young ? I would have thought that applied more to the OP ... although his idea does seem to relate to threat . . . but certainly not revenge .
  9. Sipping my sidewalk cafe coffee I stop the man assaulting the woman across the road . - I am guessing you realise how much I think this philosophy sucks . . . even though its a 'cool zenny type' image .
  10. Yes, thats a good idea , I am sure he planned to change world corruption by 'throwing punches' .
  11. " I could intimidate governments into not being corrupt " is the dark side ? Now all of a sudden his idea is being compared to 'destroy the retarded " Wot ? I hope the OP is following this .... This thread is outa control !
  12. Wow ... all this revenge stuff . I thought the idea behind corporal punishments and fines was to discourage others who might do and punish or address those that have done wrongs . It seems revenge is more popular than I realised .
  13. Nah ... he wants to intimidate them into not doing something , your talking about revenge ( which relates to them already having done something ). What .... you write commentary on your newspaper ?
  14. Just 'work on ' yourself ..... become more tolerant and accepting .... then they can put the music up really loud ! Well, at least Hitler did one good thing .
  15. The concept of God

    Yoiks ! ... chuck in another 50 and ya get an ozzie around here . But I suppose .... factory, workers, transport costs , etc jack the price up . I have friend that is a mad chemist wiz herbalist and develops special strains ... wow ! I got a few arthritic type problems and some old joint injuries .... when they play up its a bit tough some times ; I am down the front paddock fixing a fence , need a tool and have to slog all all the way back up the hill , feeling slow and like I got lead boots on, past the cabin, up the little hill behind that up the three small stairs groaning and into the shed , get the tool and go back down and then .... On no ! I should have got the ..... next week, I go back to the same job, after taking my mates medicine , same thing ..... I need wire cutters ..... next thing I know I am up in the shed , not sure how I got there .... I walked up there without even being conscious of it ... standing there going " I am not in any pain at all ... wheeeeeeeee ! " My part time neighbour comes from there , spends part time there , part time here with his son .
  16. The concept of God

    I see you are a 'Daoist gardener ' . Yes , when we understand , a little nudge here and there in the right direction can have large consequences . Years back when I moved here (over 30 years ago ) I planted some 'mountain oaks' ( actually a species of casurina ) because its a beautiful favourite tree of mine . I didnt realise at the time it was a food ( the seeds in the cones ) for the glossy black cockatoo . Now they feed in it , have a nest near by. I worked for Bio-dynamic agriculture for a while , we used to examine 500 ( cow manure buried in a cow horn underground until it .... 'changes ' ) and see the cycle of different 'bugs' come and go ..... little white ones, then the black ones and later a few red ones ..... look like tiny specs . But then I came across this alchemical image ( from another source ) 'Splendor Solis , image 13 - " Jupiter " process .
  17. The concept of God

    I am glad that ^ made YOU happy though . Somehow .... I feel I kinda should'nt be happy sometimes ...... like when guys on paragliders fly into your music festival and start machine gunning people ..... ya know .... stuff like that .
  18. The concept of God

    Free ? ! A friend of mine is on it and he had to pay for the initial consultation, then another fee for something and then pay for each delivery ... I mean , " prescription " . Street prices ? I wouldnt have a clue .... in some places they seem to sell yarndi at a high price per bud ! Around here ..... ya just pick it up off the road

  21. Museum of the Future

    But it isnt, not in the version posted here ..... if one actually looks at it . The below is not the same as the above , nor is the right to the left and the inner is different to the outer . and quoting a whole lot of Hebrew doesnt change the picture .... it just affirms what YOU THOUGHT you where seeing . Maybe Lois' centrepiece for the museum of the future is designed to trigger people so they can examine their assumptions

    Oh ? What is 'pure good' ?
  23. Whats your purpose/meaning or life?

    You can count ME out of that 'us' . Ummmmmm ...... you see, that is actually the crux of our problems .... some of us are very STUPID ! that is , the opposite of intelligent . An intelligent person .... finds solutions to their problems that benefit themselves and everyone else . A stupid person ..... tries to solve their problems with solutions that benefit neither themselves nor anyone else , and in fact , often cause harm and damage , without solving the original problem at all . .
