GENIUS FORUMS

Wisdom ends suffering in the sense that there is less of a reaction to reality. An emotional reaction that is. So does Zoloft, and other fine anti-depressants. the ego is reaction and blind desire, and when the desire isn't meant, there is frustration, anxiety, anger, and all the rest of it. When t...

I don't think two of our resident Geniuses, Ryan Rudolph and Cory Duchesne, would agree, so yeah, blasphemy.

Hi vend3r,

We've got a few posters here who compose -- and read -- monster paragraphs, like yourself. So you should feel right at home here.

Welcome to the board!

Cory (Mickey Mouse),

Sorry, I misread your Aboriginals for Aborigines, as in Australian, specifically.

No further comment, as not to derail the main topic of this thread.

It seems very primitive cultures believe in magic and spirits, and they don't really have much to show for it because they did not centralize under the religions of war and money, to defend against the Judeo-Christian coalitions, [besides a lot of alcoholism, gambling, damaged self esteem resulting...

Where's Tomas today? Sleeping off his New Year's Eve hangover?

Jason, your knee-jerk reaction aside, and without my checking your link, please note that I did not attribute wisdom, peacefulness, spirituality, or nobility to any primitives.

If this is true then the country is in worse shape than even I thought. If it is true then we are truly fucked.

Now I would like a position where I'm in the position to tell people what to do, instead of them telling me what to do. Thanks Tomas for giving me this opportunity to express myself by asking me questions. You're most welcome, Mensa. I do greatly appreciate your candor. Volunteering is noble, those...

Don't mind Steve, he's our resident wino, who posts from the public library, usually under the influence of his own type of breakfast and lunch. He's harmless.

"Secret Conversation" I asked President Karzai: "Is that what you are seeking, also? "That strategy that has worked in Iraq? "That John McCain had pushed for? "More troops? "A counterinsurgency strategy?" And he said, "Yes." (S.Palin to K. Couric, CB...

I sure hope she does become president in 2012.

Sarah Palin was Miss Wasilla 1984 So who is Sarah Palin? She is a 44-year-old former beauty pageant winner from Idaho who received her degree in journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987. She has been governor of Alaska since 2006. That's about all that is really known about her. Oh and she i...

"Befoulers of the Verbiage" It was an unfair attack on the verbiage That Senator McCain chose to use, Because the fundamentals, As he was having to explain afterwards, He means our workforce. He means the ingenuity of the American. And of course that is strong, And that is the foundation o...

Those rednecks are 'women'. Get it?

Good luck.

Me, too. Even his new evangelical side. His posts are always interesting!

Tomas, get help!

"Haiku"

These corporations.

Important call, there.

better to drown out than to wade away? No (but you kinda are on to Carl's motives). It was in reference to what Diebert had said about Carl. Carl isn't capable of swimming out to the deeper water for fear of drowning. He likes wading in the "kiddie pool" where he's comfortable sniping at ...

Me, too, Diebert. Love ya.

The truth of the truth. Wow, you heard it, folks. I'm enlightened.

And truly, what an honor to have Diebert be the one to say it.

Love ya, man.
