Does this mean you're willing to go to jail for the sake of your work?

I am. The local authorities are already threatening to have this exhibition shut down.

WTF, so is this guy trying to make terrorism & rapes art now? What's next the "I'm gonna take you hostage and maybe kill you if I have to tunnel"?

My... God.... and I thought what X-Men Evolution did to him was bad! This is like, they should've just made a new character and name him something original.

The Sega Master System was the main competitor for NES. It took me through those years quite well.

So if you ran a Communist country that's what you'd tax people? 90%? Your version of Communism would suck. It's already been said but neither extreme is any good.. Extreme Capitalism gives too much power to people with the most money.

ROFL, could be photoshopped but I believe it's real. Typical Windows.

The ones where they give people cash to buy a PC at Best Buy and make defamatory comments about Macs are pretty homosexual too.

I bet half those people sell the PC afterwards and go buy a Mac.

Exactly. "... unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." And if highness is happiness than they should be able to pursue it as long as it's not harming other people.

Doesn't this commercial creep you guys out with the faces on the pizza? It sure does creep me out. I wish i could just erase it from my memory because I actually like tabasco but now I think of those creepy as fuck faces on the pizza.

Two things come to mind right away when I think of why they're still not legal.

Scared old pasty white politicians, and special interest groups.

Sounds like this experience could be a real confidence boost for you. But might I add that keeping a low profile may be best. For if you flaunt your grades you may create hostility among the failing.

Just advertise your tutoring discreetly in a bulletin board fashion. Also maybe return to your car after class in a zig-zag fashion.

The Dukes of Hazzard, TMNT, The Ghostbusters movies, E.T., Gravedigger (monster trucks), demolition derby drivers, 007, MST3K (mike and the robots)... that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

See. We're clearing things up.

Yeah, at a snail's pace.

Are religious beliefs exempt from the standards of any other kind?

In my opinion they are, but not to you correct? I think that's our disagreement, and no amount of exchange is going to change either of our viewpoints on the matter.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that part about letters & postcards in my OP. Also I wanted to add if there's another service where government option coexists healthily with private ones, bring them up too.

This was just the closest thing I could think of even though the USPS isn't quite the same as the private ones.

How exactly does your belief go beyond the 'classic' definition of reincarnation, what is that belief actually based on, and if nothing at all - why does the belief being 'just your own' justify it?

It's pretty damn straightforward.

The way you put it is straightforward. Why does it matter if my belief goes beyond other definitions of reincarnations or not? My point is that religious beliefs are personal and don't need to be justified ("to prove or show to be just, right, or reasonable" - Merriam Webster Online Dictionary) by anyone else than yourself. You guys may disagree, I don't give a shit.

And you're great at missing the point, side-stepping the main subject with meaningless tangents, twisting other people's words around, and taking them out of context.

He's really not.

Fair enough, that's your opinion.

Alright, since you decided to speak intelligibly.

Is there a difference between correct and true? If so, what is it?
> with reference to "I'm NOT trying to say my beliefs are correct."

What's this have to do with anything?

What of a belief that has a basis. Is it just as valid as a belief with no basis?

What of it? If there's no way of proving something valid does it matter if there's a basis?

How can a belief be *just* your own if it proposes relationships between things beyond you?

There's no reason it can't.

All of this is completely off topic, you guys would make great Fox News interviewers. Pox believes anything on the internet is true like the reincarnation definition and me being a brick wall (and embellishes it). And you're great at missing the point, side-stepping the main subject with meaningless tangents, twisting other people's words around, and taking them out of context.

How about you and your favorite word "disingenuous" go have gay sex while I ignore this thread entirely? You make no sense to me, and I seem to make no sense to you. You're not worth making sense to, and had you the ability to understand the first post you excreted in the first diarrhea dump of random jargon we wouldn't be having this conversation.

At first I thought you got pox & my quotes mixed up but then it seemed more like you're just the type that has to debate everything to the death even if it means taking things I say out of context.

Yeah that's because that part wasn't about you (there are other posters you know). You're not being receptive at all. Whatever I say gets translated into what you want me to say, and comes out in a diarrhea dump of random jargon that has nothing to do with any of this. You seem completely incapable of a healthy exchange of ideas.

Yes. I'm talking to a brick wall, and you're talking to a brick wall. I think we can both agree on that.

Your responses are like a bad journalist that just takes what people say and interpret it to mean whatever you want. Even worse than pox. This thread would be much more productive if there was more sharing of religious views than fruitless attempts to disprove one of the few things in this world that can't be proven or not.

You brought up a totally pointless example of believing the world would end tomorrow. If it didn't, then yeah, that's proven false, but hardly anything religious about that. If you name a date & time something you believe will happen, it doesn't matter what it is, when that time comes around it'll be either proven or not. Do you see where I'm going with this? This example only applies to things with specific time & date.

You're just wasting time trying to falsify something that can't be falsified. Meanwhile I've been saying over and over that I'm NOT trying to say my beliefs are correct. They're just mine.

Take SgtGoose, a perfectly good Athiest, he might have it right. Or anyone in this thread can have it right. Trying to falsify religious beliefs are a waste of time. I hope I've made myself clear that everyone's religious theories/beliefs have potential validity or can be potential bullshit. But NO ONE can successfully disprove them unless like your example that relies on a specific time being given for an event to happen.

That may even qualify as one of my religious beliefs. That any of them could be valid because they can't be falsified by anyone. And if you wanna waste time trying to falsify anything in this post or my previous ones on this thread, then fine. But it's just that, wasted time, like talking to a brick wall.

If I answer your post I'd be basically repeating my last post. Something obviously got lost in translation when you were reading I guess. Read the post again, you got me all wrong.

Is it fair to compare a public option to Government Health Care to something like say, our postal system?

Like, there's both the US Postal Service, and private couriers like UPS & Fed Ex, etc... They co-exist just fine yet essentially do the same thing. Could that be a sign a government health care option could coexist with private health care just fine?

They are two completely different services. Plus with the postal service the government option came first followed by private options, where as in our health care, private options came first and (if allowed) a public option would come second.

Discuss.

Great questions. Questions I can only answer with theories though unfortunately. I believe in a non-permanent soul, or like an alternative consciousness in afterlife.

In this state of being I think we feel impacts of past lives like in the form of where we're born geographically, and to whom we're born. In this realm I believe, we're born into a life of new challenges to face with not knowledge from our past lives, but maybe some influences. And reflect on these in our short interim existence in the afterlife before being reincarnated unless we've reached nirvana.

Also, how do you explain the fact that the Earth's population has always been increasing? How does reincarnation fit into that? 70,000 years ago, there were about 1 million people on Earth, now there's nearly 7 billion. Where are all these surplus souls coming from?

This is another thing I ponder often. It's my belief there ARE a finite amount of souls, but the number could be huge. Besides that the only theory I have about why they aren't all here is maybe some spill over from other dimensions.

Like say a catastrophic event wipes out millions, some may be reborn in other dimensions while others don't have the opportunity while there aren't enough births happening in this one.

Those are pretty rough answers, but they quickly sum up my beliefs on those questions. But they're just beliefs, nothing more.

My God.. can anyone this retarded really exist?

Look, I'm sick of your narrow mindedness on this thread. Those are my religious views. You don't like them then blow me, but don't pretend like you or anyone else KNOWS for sure just how reincarnation or afterlife actually works. You might have different beliefs, there might be different definitions on the internet, in books, etc, but there's no way anyone can know for sure about these things.

It's called "religious views" for a reason. If there were "religious facts" and we all knew exactly how reincarnation works there'd be no reason for this thread, or for differing religious beliefs.

My beliefs of reincarnation, religion, etc, are my own, and as valid as anyone elses no matter how different they might be. But never would I be a retard like you and act like I KNOW this is how it works.

Someone "this retarded" exists, you see him in your reflection everyday.

Yeah you're not impressing anyone.

And you just missed the point again by a huge margin. The thread topic is "Religious Views". It has nothing to do with impressing anyone. And for that matter if that's your goal you're failing miserably at it.
