No, what do you mean by not so accurate? Can you explain a bit more.

She's in league with the little people - better watch out.

Ignore me once - shame on you. ignore me twice ... oh no that doesn't work.

I've put myself on ignore so I have no idea what I just said.

'Twas the little people wot done all that work.

@Stosh Ok I get your point, it's well made. I would like to see a kinder, more positive style of discussion which should be possible with practicing Buddhists (since that's what they believe in). And I would like to be able to move to General anything which is just quasi-buddhist.

Actually the 'groan' was at something GrmP said not you.

Because what you were saying is not Buddhist teaching it is a misunderstanding of it. You repeat this kind of statement endlessly and it makes me groan. This thread is about improving the Buddhist section.

When this thread started I had some hope but now I am in despair.

Groan. For a start karma means action. So actually the idea that your actions are a cause with an effect ... i.e. it matters what you do, what choices you make, whether to be kind and generous or to be nasty and greedy ... exactly these things do matter ... this is part of a path of self cultivation where you build positive qualities for the benefit of self and others ... so how can this be about shirking responsibility?

That deserves a facepalm. LOL.

upper storey means anything above first floor (which means the one above ground) ... I could have been in a high rise you don't know ... also I could have forcibly thrown it down so you need to add an initial velocity. .... this was the real world not schoolboy physics.

upper storey acceleration due to gravity 9.81 ms-2 or whatever.

He also said give victory to the other and accept defeat for yourself. Giving quotes out of context does not help.

My Compaq Presario could go from 0 to 60 in under three seconds ... but only cos I threw it out the window in frustration.
