Understanding your concern that there are indeed people who have yet to have access to the internet, but nearly 78% of the U.S. population has internet access (this number increasing everyday). Regardless of the internet, Russell Brand is a Movie Star, his movies and appearances on mainstream television have farther reach. You may be right in thinking that so many who do not use a computer, will never see this. Though, most people have access to a television be it in their house, neighbor's house, or a trip to a store/library. People love television! So this video is on the internet, tv, and radio. I think it's safe to assume that it will be heard.

MPG, how can you say that? Brand argues that in this age with instantaneous communication, an idea can reach the world in a matter of a few clicks of a computer mouse. There are ways to use these things as weapons to help this cause. Offering no solution Brian? He is using his time to broadcast this idea of change to the mainstream, ideas that otherwise would of never been aired. You call him shallow?http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/russell-brand-makes-generous-donation-3393764 You say he is privileged? That may be but this man paid his dues, he worked for years at comedy clubs for next to nothing. You say he doesn't offer any solution? You must not have watched the video, he states he isn't trying to come up with a Utopian government in a hotel room during an interview. He is using his power, fame, and his time to point out there are people who are more qualified than him and "more importantly" more qualified than the people currently running the world. You are going to have to come up with some better arguments than that Brian. Like I said before I didn't like this man before, but he is intelligent and is using his fame and money for good reasons. Here you are attacking him for trying to help the poor and the needy?

If you could describe a Taoist in two sentences or less, how would you say it?

The dao cannot be named, if it can be named than it is not dao. -
I might try this. Thanks.

I want to take the time to apologize for my actions and words in some of my recent posts. I have been acting unprofessional. I apologize to Ismiz, MjjBecker, More Pie Guy, Moderators, and a man who I got banned from here. I can't remember his name but his profile pic was a unibrowed guy. I'm ashamed of what I have said even though I stand by some of the things, I shouldn't of ever spoke these negative words. Please accept my apology. Also Mjjbecker I'm not sure why but I had a urge to send you a message. I wasn't sure why you blocked me (I honestly don't but assume I started it) but I'll ask my question here. Kosta talked about a mountain communicating with him. Since you are a friend of his would you be able to speak a little more about this? Thanks. Thanks for your time.

Yes, yes and yes. Its strange how I had issues with him before and once again with the same person unknown to me. haha its weird how people keep connecting like that. Hmm misguided opinions and lies. Exactly what I wanted to ask you about. I feel I was misguided and lied to. I wanted to maybe ask another side of the story to compare. In my opinion... you blocking me after my question shows to me that you have other motives. I won't get into that because I don't want this to show more "childish behaviour" How come you get so angry? Using big font doesn't do anything but show how angry you are. Thanks everyone for expressing your concern. It does make me feel better.
-
I still don't understand why do you announce that you know John and Kosta but want privacy? Someone who is looking for privacy usually tries hard to go unnoticed.
-
That's fine. peace.
-
Well I'm always trying to better myself. I'm trying to be the greatest I can be, i know to do that, I must be able to change myself when I learn of faults.
-
Thanks Brian. I appreciate it. Mjj, there is a question that i would really like to ask you. After reading another post today I was reminded of some questions that burned in my head. I would prefer talking to you in private, could you possibly take the block off for one message. If you don't want to answer than don't. If you can that would be great. I think you would appreciate the question as well. Also the unibrowed man. Maybe his name started with a R? something like Reiko? idk could be way off.
-
hmm I'm sorry.for messaging you about that. I talk to alot of people, and sometimes it's hard for me to keep everything straight. I just thought it was so interesting that the mountain asked for his help, ive been thinking about it for weeks. I just wanted to ask you if he ever told you the story? Or if there was any other details that would interest me? Actually I wanted you to tell me anything you could about it. I understand you want privacy, but another thing you should consider is why tell people you know kosta if you want privacy? This is my opinion, I hope i don't offend you but I think it's very rude to announce that "hey I know your hero and I'm friends with him but no. I will not discuss him to you." - paraphrased quotes. It's like your coming in here just to throw it in our face. Please this was not to be taken offensively, these are my feelings. Does anyone remember the guy that had a profile pic of a unibrowed guy. I believe he was in a red uniform, bigger hairy guy. He was odd, and from my understanding alot of people didn't like him. I really hope that he can view this message because I feel really bad. I guess the reason why I'm doing this is because my dad just died. We were fighting about something stupid. I'll never be able to say sorry. Sounds cheesy but it's affected me. I downright hate mostly everyone, I think everyone is selfish and doesn't consider others feelings. I was picked on my whole life and it made me hateful. Though I really like being nice, whenever I see anyone say something mean, I go out of my way to make them feel bad. I like being the bully of the bullies. If that makes sense.

I'm having trouble with the search bar on the forum. I search for things like Mopai or Mo Pai or Jim and nothing pops up. What gives you see?
-
I was just informed that I am unable to post a thread asking help to find a documentary for my class. This BLOWS my fucking mind because I was here not to long ago and Jim's copyrighted book was posted here and so were other things. So can I ask why are people ok with posting Jim's work for free illegally? Anyone? Also I want to know why when I come back here my account was blocked. Was given no reason, couldn't sign in. Than when I make a new account you guys tell me please only have one account.
-
Yeah i did and I apologized already. Idk what else I'm suppose to do for forgiveness.
-
I understand that Protector, and I don't think that was the case, if it was why was my other account banned as well. I followed rules and didn't threaten anyone. I believe that a mod in here maybe had something against me? Idk it's old news. I didn't want anything illegal done, I wanted help, be that sending me a PM of what I needed could of avoided breaking rules right? Where I come from we help people, how i was raised I help people. I assumed that the people here are spiritual and believe in karma, that if I need help I could come here to ask. Without being threatened. While I'm on the topic i'll throw out a self promo! I make natural homemade soap infused with vitamins and fruit juice. I sell this soap and every 5th sale I make, I donate a bar to the homeless. These bars are only $5 and are HUGE. You get the money you paid for, I'm trying to show people that you can run a successfull business while still helping the needy. You can add me on twitter @knowhopesoap and maybe tell your friends??? or if you want to try my soap out its at www.knowhopesoap.bigcartel.com Sorry for that... Had too... I thank all the people who did try and help me, i ended up not finding it even though I did get some good leads. Time was to short and I failed my test. No worries though, I believe I will have many chances to make up the great and still get an A. I'm sorry if I thought you guys were being rude and trolling me, if that's not the case than I apologize. Good night to everyone and may love be with you.

Let me make this simple. I made an account. One day some things were needed to be said about a certain subject. I did not want my name associated with it. The fact that you guys use fake names and pictures on your accounts means you want the same thing. Don't question me until I see you post your real name and picture. Brian you are so close, you almost solved it. I stopped using the second account after I was done with that topic. When I tried to log back into my account months later I was banned. I didn't know for what reason. I had to make a 3rd account to be able to communicate with someone from the forum on why i was banned? I live in a very rural area where sometimes things are hard to find. I made a trip to chicago and missed the day we watched it in class. Which resulted in my having to find a copy of it for the test. I checked every store, every library in my town and no one had it. The closest town with another library to me or even a walmart is 75 miles away. I'm done discussing this topic or thread with anyone. Everyone here is just looking to troll.

I think you have trouble reading vaina. If you want to talk about honesty why don't you put your real name and picture up? You come on here to tell me im not honest? You are nothing more than a hypocrite. Go ahead and use a fake picture and a fake name, Than call me dishonest for making an account so that I can have some privacy? hahahah you are up at 2am writing on tao bums which means you have no girlfriend and you are just a fake. how do you like assumptions?

I'll ask my question differently. Why is it not ok to ask for a link to find a movie for historical college research????? But it IS ok for people to come on the forum, and post Jim's book, and Jim's work? The fact is that this forum gets many of its discussions and members because of Jim, being that they are searching for answers or Jim himself, but you let people come into this forum and ruin his name. I know alot of people do not care about Mopai but alot of people do. I find it crazy that you let con artists come in here and charge your members hundreds of dollars for fake or stolen instructions. It's odd that the mod's have time to ban people for more than one account, and to send discussions into the pit, but do not have time to delete and clean the forum of scam artists. Now to the discussion of having more than one account. I had one account that i used, than made one to add to discussions that I didn't want my name on. I understand that i can only have one, but when i try to sign in, and it locks me out of everything. I had to create another account to do anything. Than as soon as I get that set up I get a message telling me I can't make an account. Why couldn't you just send me a message to my account to inform me to choose one instead of blocking both accounts than yelling at me again for trying to get on the forum? I ask that if you can treat me like this, than why can't you lifetime ban scams artists. Why can't you deactivate members who come on here to personally attack Jim after he passed away, i know soon that this forum is going to be flooded with posts about how Jim was doing it wrong, and that he died because of it. Shortly after that people will be coming forward again with "real" mopai instructions. The fact that Merciless one and that guy who posted the video of him walking with books on his head was able to post all those things angers me. Thank God for More Pie Guy, he is the only one with any honor that I have seen here. Good day to you all.

Ask her to have lunch with you or dinner depending how friendly you guys are. Try to make it a really awesome date, make her laugh, and at the end tell her your true feelings. You will only be full of regret if you don't.

Bombing people to stop people from bombing people makes perfect sense.
