Your ranting is one vast inflated view of yourself! Why not set up a pulpit on any given street corner and preach the gospel of Buddhism. You seem to have infinite amounts of time on your hands since you moved to Canada. I am really enjoying your excessive use of hyphens.

As far as I can tell, this report is accurate and confirms my fears of this event happening. If this is the case, I believe there is no way to stop it. This is deadly serious for the ecology of this planet. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4849203

In this case, purpose is being defined from a human point of view. Anthropocentrism has dominated religious discourse for centuries.

That needed to be said.

Why do you persist on this preaching? Sermonti is an ID advocate!

No matter how you frame it, you are making an adversarial statement. You are creating a disparity between Buddhism and other systems of thought i.e, theism, Vedanta and myriad other mystical traditions. I believe this may be a normal reaction to your earlier monistic idealism.

Yes indeed! This would probably not work against a very good boxer or experienced street fighter. When I studied Jujitsu, my teacher who had trained in Japan after the war, said that a real fight should last no longer than ten seconds. He always said the opponents head should look like a smashed watermelon after it hits the pavement. After watching him work, I had no doubt. I studied Aikido after Jujitsu for five years and the way it was taught here in the W. was a joke. All the arm and wrist locks were flaky New Age pretentiousness. I actually preferred the real Aiki Jitsu style along with spontaneous movement as opposed to memorized technique.

Another Buddhist thread? What a surprise!

Can this get any worse? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9urTb3KAedo&feature=player_embedded

I am not reacting. You are interrupting this thread with another dogmatic lecture!

This thread is about the Tao and Brahman, No one asked to have another lecture on Buddhism DO&E. This was an interesting thread until you interrupted it.

Here is the problem. First, you ask a question then you make absolute definitions in an attempt to make yourself absolutely right and others here absolutely wrong. You were not asking but rather stating more dogmatic absolutes as is your style.

I agree! He will try and takeover any thread in an attempt to show his illusory superiority. Very boring!

It is extremely important to separate Dawkin's personal views from his scientific work.

Great point!

Excellent point! He and others of his persuasion would return this world to the Pre-Copernican days.

I know how much you want spirituality to be on the same footing as science! However, that can't be allowed to happen. If you have your way, then all technology must have a spiritual function? How do I write that into an equation?

Your esteemed Dr. has advanced degrees in forest genetics, with no mention of human genetics and yet you believe he is qualified to debunk evolutionary theory? Nice try! Also he is a creationist. Dr. Giertych lectures on his personal belief system and has no research to validate his claims. http://creationwiki.org/Maciej_Giertych

The problem is one of entrenched corporate power here in the U.S. Overturning 'Citizens United' would be a first step.

He has been coming on here for months with his creationist and anti-science rants.

I can't believe this is another anti-science rant!

The two illegal wars and the action in Libya are in direct violation of U.S. and International law! This law was established by the Nuremberg tribunals after WWII. No matter how the Bush administration framed it, an unprovoked attack on a sovereign country is illegal. Those wars are about oil and resources! So far the costs will probably be over 1 trillion.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed on LFTR! If R&D and implementation were put into this technology, as opposed to the endless money pit of fusion research, the world would be a far better place.

This lesson is for Immortal4Life.

The so called forensic expert, Dr. Jack Cuozzo is an Orthodontist. Dr. Jack Cuozzo is also a creationist. Your narrative of so called experts has not changed.
