As long as it's in the right direction !

Done that a couple of times, but then I cannot tell what threads I've read.

KnowHope, there may be some Hope for you after all.....it takes courage / grace to admit when you've realised the error of your ways. Of course, it will be up to each individual to decide if they accept your Apology. But if it's heartfelt, there's really no more that you can do (IMO). Some of my closest friends have very strong views on religeon, etc. that differ completely from my own views. Mainly because we have completely different backgrounds & upbringing. We might argue at times, but we'll always stay friends. Wishing You Peace Basher

Kudos to all that have in the past, or are currently "giving" money, effort and/or their free time, to make the Tao Bums a better place to be, for all.

Horus, advise that the "Lobby" is usually for a general introduction about yourself. A lot of the Bums don't visit this area very often. I'd suggest that you start a thread elsewhere in the Forums, if you'd like more feedback. Basher

If you can ignore all the "Hokey" stuff....like using a Mobile phone from inside a Maximum Security Bunker, etc etc. Then "Homeland" is indeed great entertainment. Season 3 just started here in the UK. The flaws in the two main characters make them all the more realistic imo.

Yup, totally kidding BKA. :D Although I used to work in a huge Office & one guy kept updating his Password by simply adding "1" each time. So he'd have "BlueBird774" written on his blotter, then cross thru it & update his p/w to BlueBird775 Those pesky Hackers would never be clever enough to figure that one out. :ph34r: Basher888

Or...Brian "You are NOT the Messiah, You are a very Naughty Boy" Thanks BKA....but now you've just gone & told EVERYONE :excl: (LOL) Edit: Add Brian & reply to BKA

Have just read this thread & have now changed my password, from "Password".

Hmmm...A Password 8 Characters Long, huh ? How about "snow white and the seven dwarfs" ????

The secret entrance is around and round the back.

Rape is Rape....doesn't matter if it's in prison or on the "outside". If you have sex with somebody against their will or without their consent, then you are a Rapist. Doesn't matter which gender you or they are, doesn't matter if you're straight or gay. If the Prison Guards cannot protect the vulnerable prisoners, perhaps they could put Bromide in the Prisoners drinking water. (Believe that worked in helping to suppress sexual urges in soldiers etc during WWII)

Believe that was in 1911 :D (Sorry MH, couldn't resist)

Thank you Bryan Adams ================================== Trolls seem to come here frequently & then go once people stop paying enough attention to them. :ph34r: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS Plus everyone has their own opinion about what Taoism "is" or "isn't"......ridiculous really, but there you go. The Tao scholars might not like the amount of flippancy on here. The majority dislike the constant arguements and thread de-rails, etc etc. The Anarchists will probably dislike all of the rules & regs. But you can't please all of the people, all of the time.

Welcome Marc, looking forward to a world of Cheesy puns. In my youth, I got invited out for a meal in Londons Chinatown. My Kung Fu Instructor & a couple of the other students kept on about the lovely "Cheese" served at this rather drab looking Restaurant. Don't judge the place on its appearance, rather notice that lots of the local Chinese eat there. So we turn up and I'm scouring the Menu, looking for this special Cheese. Can't see it anywhere & so I ask a waiter about it....blank looks all around...apparently most Chinese don't like any Dairy produce. Later on for dessert somebody orders the cheese dish ....turns out they were all talking about Lychees, not "Li Cheese".

Hi All, was just wondering why somebody would "Subscribe" to The Tao Bums. Are there any additional / special rights or privilages for so doing ? (Shiny Badge / Pin) LOL Or is it (as I suspect) really just about helping to fund the Forums running & day-to-day expenses, etc. Profuse Apologies if the answer is already on here, but I couldn't find it using the search facility. Basher (New Subscriber)

As previously mentioned, the scrolly S badge doesn't show up on my profile, as I'm a Steward. Didn't get any message / letter from Sean or anybody else. That's why I originally asked the question. Subscribe to support the operating costs of the website. And perhaps gain a few Karma points. That's it. If you want to collect badges or certificates, plus get a pat on the back, join the scouts !

Welcome Andrew and good luck in your mission. Plenty of challenges ahead I think, but nothing you cannot handle, judging by your intro post. Basher

I'm waiting for the completely historically inaccurate, Hollywood Blockbuster Movie "Dow-Ker-ching"

Hi djeejah, the Lobby is generally used for introducing yourself to us. Most of the Bums only visit here occasionally. You'd probably be better off, posting any questions in the relevant part of the Forums. Basher

It's like when you see a notification, telling you that 25 new messages have arrived in your inbox. Only to find 23 of them are SPAM. I'd like an Ignore this thread, button. Sick and tired of reading "Pantomime" threads.....he said this, oh no he didn't, oh yes he did !!!

Or one of the people actually studying Mo Pai could create a website / forum of their own....and call it something like The Mo Pai Bums. We could redirect any thread / post that mentions Mo Pai to that new website and "archive" our copy. Result = no more endless bickering / insults and arguments about a system very few bums here, are actually interested in

"In through the Out Door" or rather out through the in door ?

Also helps if the OP adds "tags" to their first post on a thread.
