  1. Sorry, Daniel- the self appointed forum police officer has arrived . Anything I I could tell you would begin to be mocked, twisted and lied about by him . So I guess now, you will never know .
  2. How dare you ! I am God OF THE WHOLE FORUM ! Tremble in fear before the face of your Lord O Daniel, for I come with mighty fire and lightening that shall punish the unjust ...... and any daobum poster with a beard .
  3. I remember chatting with him, he seemed OK .... I cant remember why he got banned back then ? Would he not get off Apech's lawn ?
  4. Very unpopular opinions

    I can 'psychically heal' machinery 1. Two women looking confused at a car engine , bonnet up parked . I stop to help, " Cant get it started ? " " No, we cant figure out what is wrong ." I look at the motor, I have no idea what I am doing , I place both hands on what I assume is the alternator ...... " Try it now ." One gets in and it tries it and it starts first go . The other ; " What did you just do then !? " I get in my car and drive off. 2. Working with a group of Aboriginal men, helping to build a bush pole construction over toilets for a festival they are having . The chainsaw will not start , they are swearing and cursing at it , several try , curse at it treat it rough . Me " Whoa, hold on fellahs, let me have a go . " .... sarcastic exclamations and comments ( as they know my 'character ' ) . I kneel down and gently stroke the chainsaw ; " Awwww , poor little fellah, they been rough and mean to you , well I won't treat you like, you are a good boy aren't you ." Starts on 2nd gentle pull . More exclamations but now of exasperation and " Bullshit ! WTF ? " ( My teacher is there, he has gone into a laughing fit .) 3. This afternoon ; I get on the new tractor , notice an hydrophilic lead on the 3 way front bucket is disconnected ; damn , it cant 'grab' and I want to move some big fallen logs and branches . I drive up to the guy's place that just bought the tractor . He says he cant get the lead on . He tries several times and no go . I look into the plug and then press the plug on the end of the lead on to the framework, the valve goes in and out , I put it on the feed plug ..... 'click' and he is standing there I have no idea what's going on . Well... this could have something to do with it ;
  5. Oh sure .... very similar . Almost a twin I would say
  6. Very unpopular opinions

    Hey , thats an easy way to post an unpopular opinion here (in general sub-forum ) ! My take on the current political situation in Gaza is ......
  7. I'll ask again . Have you posted here before on Dao Bums under another name ?

    Oh yeah, another one just popped up , and its about that concept above I described with other 'clan names ' ; 'Karasses " . A karass , also known as a 'device' ; Nice, nice , very nice, Nice, nice , very nice, Nice, nice , very nice, so many people in the same device.

    and Sirens of Titan .... that is a MUST ! those little 'calypso ' poems have a certain name , which escapes me That one you posted above I used years back here on DBs on a 'deep' thread about ..... 'why, why , why ' . Good stuff !
  10. Very unpopular opinions

    " We are sick, hungry, and you stole our land ! " " Shhhhh ...... forgiveness ! " or this classic one ; " Dont worry, after you die and go to heaven you will get justice ..... in the meantime , learn to love your oppressors ." This was one of my fav subjects in Comparative Religion ; " Here you go 'peasants', Jesus wants you to have these ." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology
  11. Axioms Against Cognitive Distortion

    Of course folks .... it never entered his mind that it could have been aimed at him .

    Actually, that quote and terms where so familiar to me that they passed by as not unusual ! Now I have lost track of your previous ID ... we may have talked about this before . KV is a hero of mine , he was also a cultural anthropologist, like me. So I can see the source and value of what he wrote , in MANY instances . have you read 'Lonesome no More ' ( 'Slapstick' ) ? I love the themes in it regarding 'name changes ' (or in the case of the book ) : " The siblings created, among other things, a plan to end loneliness in America through vast extended families. Under the plan, all citizens would be provided with new middle names, made of the name of a random natural object paired with a random number between 1 and 20. Everyone with the same name would be cousins, and everyone with the same name and number would be siblings. " It links and heals people in a certain way . This is something that seems to have been lost from modern civilization . I have noticed it here in indigenous studies with moiety and clans etc . people from far away with nothing in common , strangers, can meet and " What's your totem ?" " Sea- eagle " " Really ! I am a sea-eagle too ! " " Brother ! " " Brother ! ... or it could be 'Cousin ! " or Cuz .... Maori's have a good term " Cuzzy-bro " Like in Vonnegut's example , it can create bonds across barriers .
  13. Very unpopular opinions

    Dont I know that one ! I have a very good friend ( used to GF years back ) I remember one occasion, all these people where supposed to help me , they didnt , they just made oit worse, hung out made a mess and ate my food . She was the only one that pitched in and slogged through the work with me .... single mum with 3 boys under 4 ! The others ? Oh, they had a collection of headaches , uncomfortable s and 'in a minutes / do it later ' . I have seen that a few times . After that it got somewhat reversed and I had the 'opportunity to pay her back' ; people would stay to' help her ' , then when they left I would have to go and pick the pieces up , settle the boys, re supply the fire food they burnt up to keep themselves warm ...... Regarding that ; 'its going to be alright' . Do you think this is a modern thing ? It appears to be in astrology , the old 'born under a bad sign' seems unpop . In the old days, bad natal configuration ; Sorry , you're fucked . Better go straight to damage control Now ? Well, that is a terrible thing to say ..... I should be ashamed of myself ! here you go guys .... have a ' came first at the other end ' award .

  19. Who or what is "satan"?

    No, that doesnt matter , what does matter is you have been dishonest . red herring ..... nice try though No, its clear from the post on the last page exactly what you did . and its very telling you can not address that . Now we see its clear you where never going to give an answer on the thread subject , all you did was 'Daniel around ' so much everyone else left , now its time for me to go as well . Toodle-ooo . .
  20. Ancestor Worship (Pitru Paksha)

    Is it 'worship ' ? I suppose that depends on one's definition ? It is usually defined as a practice towards deity ie. the 'God/s' . My practice has not been , its more to show acknowledgement, appreciation and thanks to ancestors, not 'Gods' . The sharing of 'offerings' is a healthy psychological practice for the individual . We have a special night for it ; 'feast of the dead ' , ' All souls day', 'Halloween ' . It is said that this time of year the veil between this world and the other ( and ancestors ) is thinnest - I can affirm that some years , this is particularly noticeable . The ritual can be as simple as as putting a plate of food out for them along with the feast you have .
