Bill... PLEASE STOP POSTING IMAGES that people don't want to be bombarded with in this forum. I find your images as annoying as TV commercials. If there's an image you want people to see, post a link. This is not your personal billboard for everything that entertains you -- and it is rude to subject people to images that don't belong here. Really... aren't you mature and aware enough to understand this? I think you have a very weird and creepy idea of entertainment and humor, and it would be most courteous of you to use some self-moderation and show respect for the other members of this public environment meant for philosophical discussion. Do YOU like being bombarded with crap all the time? Why are YOU bringing that here and bombarding us?

Because it's all about you... rather than what's appropriate or considerate.

If zen is childish and idiotic.

I'm specifically responding to your actions, Bill. I'm not launching an attack at you out of nowhere. That's how it works when somebody does something rude, and then people complain about it. There's always a hope that it will matter and be heard. But it usually doesn't and isn't. And thus, you demonstrate the way so many in the world keep on doing what serves them regardless of others or logic.
We are the most violent country in the world because we are the most powerful country in the world. If Sweden had the most powerful military on earth Sweden would be the most violent country in the world.
Only militarily weak countries love peace. Its sad. But its the truth!

When I heard it once said that philosophy is wisdom, I felt a little tug. You ever feel that? When a note just don’t sound right?
It’s like when your body feels something isn’t right. Precursor to the itch.
Like thoughts are a gatherin, organized physical activity, movement taking over at a non-cognitive level of consciousness, like sap rising to fruit.
Pick the fruit too soon, bitter but never forgotten. Pick the fruit too late, fertilizer. Pick the fruit just right, yummie. Sequences of three in the bones, Goldilocks. The artistic lightness of compassion, the wait of gold.
Philosophy is the ruthless pursuit of truth.
Wisdom is the matrimony of skillful means and compassion which results in appropriate expression of truth.
There is no such thing as a wrong note. – Art Tatum
The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. – Another Great American
Humanity naturally follows from a Golden Rule hello. - Just slipped that in.
Suggestion...what if we focused-in on the actual topic of this thread instead of concentrating upon one-upping one another or calling each other derogatory names?
When you start name-calling within my thread it kind-of demeans the whole topic, the thread itself, and reflects badly, unnecessarily so, upon the member who is actually doing the name-calling.

There is no topic, because you have expressed it so badly being a person with faulty cognition - no offence.
