Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) hah there's already the tao bums uncut XD haha but that's really hardly more than a "sub pit" that genuinely removes moderation from the equation http://taouncut.forum.com.bz/The only "moderation" I can fathom taking place there is hacker defense XDYou're right about the tea shop atmosphere... just ought to restrict the conversation to tea shop atmosphere aswell if that was to be maintained.That's definitely good for the lobby, Taoist, and general discussion, methinks... but now we're off topic. we left the tea house. Nah, not good place for steamy and heated discussion, but off topic enough that it will almost certainly hit the more somber or melancholy chords.This is where the non-tea-house Taoists are going to be found, the restless souls that find no solace in simply reflecting on the goods while "dealing with" or ignoring the ills or bads.Taoist forum, a forum about balance, yang AND YIN TOO.I got booted for being as yin as I am, regardless of the semantics, it boils down to there being "no place for" that level of yin, on this board. Yet the counterpart yang seems to be permitted to thrive. It's the concierge afterall. Edited July 21, 2013 by Northern Avid Judo Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narveen Posted July 22, 2013 8 American children were killed in the 9/11 attacks, 1.5 million Iraqi and Afghani children were killed in the ensuing 'war' on terror. Â who is to be blamed for that? nobody because there is no one in the goddam boat that just drove a hole in your hull leading to the drowning of all the children. which part of chuang tzu's "empty boat" parable you don't understand? Â the moral of that parable is don't mess around the little pebble you remove may be holding back a humongous boulder that can fall and cause a whole mountain side to slide wiping out an entire village you can't blame the mountain because it's as "empty" as the boat even the fool who moved the pebble is blameless there is no one there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet the counterpart yang seems to be permitted to thrive. It's the concierge afterall. Â getting the boot from an ass is not the same as getting a polite request from the manager of a fine establishment. Â it has nothing to do with your yin-yang balance. no one likes to be man-handled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voidisyinyang Posted July 24, 2013 Like any good reporter would, Risen is categorically refusing to testify and, if it comes to that (meaning if the court orders him to testify), he appears prepared to go to prison in defense of press freedoms and to protect his source (just as some young WikiLeaks supporters are courageously prepared to do rather than cooperate with the Obama DOJ’s repellent persecution of the whistleblowing site). Yesterday, Risen filed a Motion asking the Court to quash the government’s subpoena on the ground that it violates the First Amendment’s free press guarantee, and as part of the Motion, filed a lengthy Affidavit that is amazing in several respects.  .http://www.salon.com/2011/06/23/risen_3/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eye_of_the_storm Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Take the case of Communist China which allows Capitalism to function. There is a difference.  And the USA which is said to be a Democracy? (Though suppose to a be a Republic?)... and Capitalist?  Just word games really...  USA is also a Communist Totalitarian /Welfare State / Wealth distribution which is only enforced on the majority (communism keeps the masses suppressed while the ruling elite (capitalist) suck the life out of the land and people.   ^ So as per image... with slight amendment // The top is capitalist and the bottom is communist/ slavery  The capitalist are parasites and the masses are brainwashed into being communist host.  Capitalism is the "American Dream"... it's that small glimmer of hope that keeps the masses into thinking one day they will break free if they work really hard.... but the capitalist elite parasites trapped the masses into a communist system taking the wealth of the individual by force and redistributing either to themselves or into fruitless projects... keeping the masses and the state in perpetual debt (slavery).  Ahaha... sooo, you could say that Communism is a Capitalist system?? yeh?
