  1. What is GENERAL DISCUSSION?

    Maybe instead of dedicating General Forum to ADVERTISEMENTS AND PROFITEERING, you could make a separate forum for the ADDS. These people are not yours or anyones sheep.
  2. Global Revolution!

    Please make yourself Clear Steve.
  3. Global Revolution!

    What about the topic of the premonition of the Global Revolution that occured before Occupy Wall Street? Is that too be censored as well, or the premonition of your biased, that only appeared seemingly at the time?
  4. Global Revolution!

    O.K. buddy, please explain the proper format of the thread I can make to talk about the spiritual awakening. I didn't break any rules? What is your prob really? Is the topic GLOBAL REVOLUTION off topic completely from general discussion? Or is it Occupy Wall Street, you need to make yourself clear because you are seemingly very inept at explaining what exactly you intend. Are you censoring Occupy Wall Street from general discussion? Are you censoring The Global Revolution from general discussion? Are you censoring ALL POLITICS from general discussion? Are you censoring Informer particularly in these matters from general discussion? What exactly are you censoring, discussion? Me discussing?

    The earth IS my Church and I find Kyoto Protocol to help us preserve it as bad as it is already become.

    How does one look at the blind spot within ones eye?
  7. Global Revolution!

    You may misunderstand Twinner, This is not the thread to debate or argue in, please stay on-topic. I would rather this one not go to the trash can, thank you very much.
  8. Global Revolution!

    That the Spiritual Awakening began before the Occupy Movement, makes your theory seem less likely to me. Although I still can't say that you are completely wrong, only seemingly less likely to be right that Anonymous and Wiki Leaks are in cohorts with the Illuminati and/or our Government.
  9. Global Revolution!

    I don't know about "perhaps violent" that isn't what the heart seems to be saying from this angle. The fact that Kyoto Protocol exists, is proof of a NWO. (New World Order). It's not a US or Illuminati type thing tho, it is a peace pact to work towards a symbiotic relationship with the planet. The U.S. has brought forth viscous opposition to Kyoto Protocol for a long time, because it is not profitable for the Illuminati. Honestly, I used to think like you about the massive about of propaganda floating around about the NWO and how the elite are trying to take over the world, etc, etc. The morsel of truth is that there is already existing a Union of the Nations. Why is that a bad thing that the whole world might work together, yet not for profit, but for sustainability? I agree with the intention of this, although I don't think off the grid is completely necessary. Grid Tied is more valuable IMO because you can share your excess free and clean energy with your community. These are the personal actions that we can all take, then there are also group efforts that can and will show our solidarity, love and commitment to making the world, not just ourselves, much more sustainable. Socialist seems to be looked at with disdain in this paragraph. What is Socialist? It seems like when people talk about equality across the board they are categorized as "Socialist", So I guess Martin Luther King Jr., Jesus, Ghandi, Buddha and Lao Tzu were all Socialists? I don't get it.
  10. That is a really cleverly guised belittling remark? Hardly. There are threads for you to troll in off-topic.
  11. NYC Rebel Buddha Panel Discussion

    I'm not convinced. Lineage seems to be another thing to be attached. Lineage is one of the perceived reality's, same as titles. Does one mind determine ones lineage or vice versa? Does ones heart determine ones lineage? More trivial semantics is really all I see in it. A way to claim and own, the ego hidden to secretly own without conscious recognition. Getting caught up in tradition in the first place leads to conformity, that will cause division with other alternatively conformed institutions. Semantics!
  12. Why is my thread being moved?

    I am not interested in kyoto protocol thread being moved, nor am I interested with debating with a crybaby or his cheerleader.
  13. Kyoto Protocol

    He probably made more points than you did cheerleading. You are a good cheerleader tho.
  14. Global Revolution!

    Icelander also cried to the mod and got the thread deleted. De Ja Vu.
  15. Global Revolution!

    I wrote that even before the occupy movement, 10 months ago. We are angry with our leaders. #14016310 - 02/23/11 09:47 PM (10 months, 4 days ago) http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14016310/fpart/1/vc/1 There was a "JoeBlast" (Icelander) in that thread as well, intent to derail it. It seems like a common theme.
  16. Daoist Koan

    Interesting. 1st one of these I've heard. Are there more of them? Possibly and riddles?
  17. Politics have nothing to do with spirituality then this guy died for no cause. "Thích Quảng Đức (Listeni/ˌtɪtʃ ˌkwɒŋ ˈdʊk/ tich kwong duuk; 釋廣德; 1897 – 11 June 1963, born Lâm Văn Tức), was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Đức was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam's Roman Catholic government. Photos of his self-immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Diệm regime. Malcolm Browne won a Pulitzer Prize for his renowned photograph of the monk's death. After his death, his body was re-cremated, but his heart remained intact.[1][2] This was interpreted as a symbol of compassion and led Buddhists to revere him as a bodhisattva, heightening the impact of his death on the public psyche.[3]" "The Roman Catholic Church was the largest landowner in the country and enjoyed special exemptions in property acquisition, and land owned by the Roman Catholic Church was exempt from land reform.[19] The white and gold Vatican flag was regularly flown at all major public events in South Vietnam,[20] and Diệm dedicated his country to the Virgin Mary in 1959.[18] The flag consists of six vertical stripes, coloured from left to right as blue, yellow, red, white and saffron. The sixth stripe consists of five squares from top to bottom in the same colours. The flag is rectangular. The Buddhist flag Buddhist discontent erupted following a ban in early May on flying the Buddhist flag on Vesak, the birthday of Gautama Buddha. Just days before, Catholics had been encouraged to fly the Vatican flag at a celebration for Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục of Huế, Diệm's elder brother. A large crowd of Buddhists protested the ban, defying the government by flying Buddhist flags on Vesak and marching on the government broadcasting station. Government forces fired into the crowd of protesters, killing nine people. Diệm's refusal to take responsibility — he blamed the Vietcong for the deaths — led to further Buddhist protests and calls for religious equality.[21] As Diệm remained unwilling to comply with Buddhist demands, the frequency of protests increased. [edit] Self-immolation Journalist Malcolm Browne's photograph of Thích Quảng Đức during his self-immolation. A similar photo won the 1963 World Press Photo of the Year.[22] On 10 June 1963, U.S. correspondents were informed that "something important" would happen the following morning on the road outside the Cambodian embassy in Saigon.[23] Most of the reporters disregarded the message, since the Buddhist crisis had at that point been going on for over a month, and the next day only a few journalists turned up, including David Halberstam of The New York Times and Malcolm Browne, the Saigon bureau chief for the Associated Press.[23] Đức arrived as part of a procession that had begun at a nearby pagoda. Around 350 monks and nuns marched in two phalances, preceded by an Austin Westminster sedan, carrying banners printed in both English and Vietnamese. They denounced the Diệm government and its policy towards Buddhists, demanding that it fulfill its promises of religious equality.[23] Another monk offered himself, but Đức's seniority prevailed.[1] The act itself occurred at the intersection of Phan Đình Phùng Boulevard (now Nguyễn Đình Chiểu Street) and Lê Văn Duyệt Street (now Cách Mạng Tháng Tám Street) a few blocks South and West of the Presidential Palace (now the Reunification Palace). Đức emerged from the car along with two other monks. One placed a cushion on the road while the second opened the trunk and took out a five-gallon gasoline can. As the marchers formed a circle around him, Đức calmly seated himself in the traditional Buddhist meditative lotus position on the cushion. A colleague emptied the contents of the gasoline container over Đức's head. Đức rotated a string of wooden prayer beads and recited the words Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật ("homage to Amitabha Buddha") before striking a match and dropping it on himself. Flames consumed his robes and flesh, and black oily smoke emanated from his burning body.[23][24] Đức's last words before his self-immolation were documented in a letter he had left: Before closing my eyes and moving towards the vision of the Buddha, I respectfully plead to President Ngô Đình Diệm to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally. I call the venerables, reverends, members of the sangha and the lay Buddhists to organise in solidarity to make sacrifices to protect Buddhism.[4]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thich_Quang_Duc
  18. My thoughts are that this revolutionary mass awakening across the globe is being censored. This is the first time in history that so many people have been on the same page about so many things, and it is so nonchalantly thrown out with the trash. In the end, the revolution will continue. That thing that people feel in their hearts is not something they will forget.
  19. Both of these threads were moved without any sort of explanation. Will anyone answer why? http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/21800-kyoto-protocol/ http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/20647-global-revolution/ Is it a personal agenda or what the heck is going on?
  20. Global Revolution!

    THEN WHY DON'T YOU TAKE ACTION ON THE OFFENSIVE POSTS OR POSTERS RATHER THAN THE ENTIRE THREAD AS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST????????????????????????? wannabe.
  21. Why is my thread being moved?

    If you made a hasty decision then whatever. I don't care about the debate with Joe, but I think that the Global Revolution thread should be put back, as it is a culmination of the work of many, and you are choosing to move it based on one kids crying. You are in fact condoning his poor sportsmen ship and being a sore loser. Yes, you are being gullible. We are all at times, and I probably shouldn't have posted the PM, but the point needed to be made.
  22. Why is my thread being moved?

    Did you even read the thread, it was about science and global warming. Politics had very little to do with it. Either you allow self moderation or you don't. What you did was inadvertently take sides, NO RULE WAS BROKEN IN THIS CASE. I simply was going by what you told me before when I voiced concern, now you are pulling a double standard on me.
  23. What is GENERAL DISCUSSION?

    Ah, you mean the thread where Joe challenged me to debate him, then lost and reported it? We both agreed to debate a matter, what is it any business of yours? The matter is important to the planet, and all of our well being.
