I can't say that I remember anything by intellectual integrity, but blind faith was a truly awesome band. It is just too bad that they couldn't keep it together a little longer.

For a few seconds there I thought you were refering to something that resembled music.

Re: A revolution in thought
The N Y Philharmonic is an awesome band, Andre Rieu has an awesome band, the Berlin Philharmonic is an awesome band, and a lot of others like these are awesome bands. Talent holds a good band together.

Getting pot from Peacegirl would be about as easy as getting a drink out of a Vogan.

From what I've read, Vogan is the Touv god of Rain, Storms and Water. So it should be pretty easy to get a drink out of a Vogan.

I believe I refered to "A Vogon" as a member of the Vogon race, and not the individual named 'Vogon'.
You could also hire them to design your house,
Vogan Associates Inc. | Design • Build
or vacation there and pick up some souvenirs.

I never did pay much attention to D&D, or any of the other games like that.

Sorry, you have no nerd cred unless you played D&D or any of the Avalon Hill board games. If you are a Panzer Leader nut, then you are a Type A nerd.

Re: A revolution in thought
Avalon Hill, I had Bismark and U-Boat that I played a few times and Jutland that I could never find someone or a place to play. you might see a pattern here, I also had a few other games in the same venue. Occasionally I ask gamers about a game called 'Distant Thunder' but haven't had any luck.

Re: A revolution in thought
I thought this thread would have died out a long time ago. I've been gone for quite awhile, and yet it has gained momentum, even without me being here. What do people account for this? I need to sit and think because I was very surprised that this thread was still active. I kind of think that maybe because this thread had so many components to it, it is being used as a springboard for other discussions, which is fine with me. But I still say, all the people who rejected this discovery will have to admit, one day (if we are all still living) that Lessans was right. It's not about being right though, it's about preventing war and crime. The longer this discovery is ignored, the more people will die in war and crime. That is a horrible thought to entertain.

Re: A revolution in thought
There have only been 21 posts since your last one two weeks ago. Half of those posts were by a single poster, thedoc. So when you say the thread has gained momentum, you're not telling the truth.

You're right. Maybe not, after reading these posts. It doesn't really matter because the bias in here has been so overwhelming that I cannot continue regardless. I have found a better home for this discovery where people do not use their own "intelligence" to determine what is true and what isn't.

War and crime can never be prevented because they are absolutely crucial for the dynamic development of Nature. Whatever you want to say about "human nature" (note the heavy quotes around that vague and ambiguous term), as long as we exist in individual bodies with egos we will always define ourselves - and necessarily so - in terms of difference. It isn't "good" or "evil" - it's just Nature differentiating itself. To believe that the universe/cosmos/Being revolves around us and depends on us is just repackaged Enlightenment-Idealist arrogance that has no foundation in "the reality on the ground," so to speak.
I checked out the webpage, and as far as I can tell it's just another utopian statement by someone so utterly (if subjectively) convinced they've found "the truth" that their pretense to objectivity is absolutely tainted by this enthusiasm. I don't care if people want to believe it or not - it's perfectly valid as a religious statement of belief.

Since you went to the website and read the material, you must know what the discovery is about. So spit it out. What is the very core of this discovery. Please explain in your own words traumaturgist? No fair going back.

Did you fail to notice that the discussion had nothing to do with you or Lessans, peacegirl? You will use anything to justify returning won't you?

Really Peacegirl, what is wrong with you, do you seriously think that you are some kind of teacher demanding that others regurgitate back to you the nonsense your father has written. If you really understand the book the way you claim, explain it clearly, in your own words, stop challenging others to explain what is unclear and confused. Only when you have stated it clearly can you expect others to parrot it back to you.
