  1. When you share them with me, please be kind.

    You called us demons andhypocrites and said you would crumble our nations to dust.

     

    Ha, you ain't gettin no sleep yet. :blahblah:

    "Nations to Dust.."

    What the heck were you reading? Revelations of John?

     

    Something like that, though I must admit a minor misquote.

     

    Will not the Goddess determine our outcomes?...And if it be her will, empires will crumble laid in ashes at her feet.
  2. Inconsistency and absurdity

     

    There is almost unanimous opinion against me. That tells me something.

     

    Damn straight, hold that thought.

     

    I made some mistakes. I should have contacted Metropolis with the staple rust/foxing issues immediately upon receipt of the book. And given them a chance to make it right.

     

    I should not have said that I don't trust Frank (at Metropolis). Frank tried to make it right yesterday.

     

    We all make mistakes and forgiveness would be a good practice here... Many blessings to all of you on the "board" and to Metropolis and especially to Frank at Metropolis.

     

    Let's all move on.

     

    Accurate observations on your own behaviour. The best approach that could be taken followed...

     

    I believe this will be my last post on this thread. I made a another mistake.

     

    But then insanity returned and the blessed become demonic...

     

    Cowards and heroes, come gather round me. Make room for everyone. Among us stand men and women who serve a demon and are hypocrites.

     

    Suddenly Metro becomes demonic and, despite your own about face, others here hypocrites.

     

    I stand as a friend of the goddess. Who do you stand with?

     

    No chance pal, she wrote the insult below in her little black book and cursed you forevermore.

     

    Metropolis' Army of Girly-Men

     

    In the meantime, Vinnie and Frank, are nowhere to be seen.

    Why would they bother? You said it was all over and now you're in here with these ridiculous quasi religous ravings. What a flipping joke. :makepoint:

  3. The Dharma Bums[/i]]

    "You'll be sorry someday. Why don't you ever understand what I'm trying to tell you: It's with your six senses that you're fooled into believeing that, not only that you have six senses, but that you contact an actual outside world with them. If it wasn't for your eyes, you wouldn't see me. If it wasn't for your ears you wouldn't hear that airplane. If it wasn't for your nose, you wouldn't smell the midnight mint. If it wasn't for your tounge taster, you wouldn't taste the difference between A and B. If it wasn't for your body, you wouldn't feel Princess. There is no airplane, no mind, no Princess, no nothing, you for krissakes, do you want to go on being fooled every minute of your life?"

     

    "Yes, that's all I want..."

    The rules are my own to make, Sir.

  4. The Dharma Bums[/i]]

    "Maybe you're Mudface."

     

    "Who's Mudface?"

     

    "Mudface is the mud in your goatface. What would you say if someone was asked the question 'Does a dog have the Buddha nature?' and said 'Woof!'

     

    "I'd say that was a lot of silly Zen Buddhism." This took Japhy back a bit. "Listen Japhy," I said, "I'm not a Zen Buddhist, I'm a serious Buddhist, I'm a dreamy old fashioned coward of later Mahayanism," and so forth into the night, my contention being that Zen Buddhism didn't concentrate on kindness so much as confusing the intellect to make it percieve the illusion of the sources of all things. "It's mean," I complained. "All those Zen Masters throwing young kids in the mud because they can't answer their silly questions."

     

    Kerouac is in the ring! :busy:

  5. The Teaching of the Buddha has six supreme qualities:

    [One of which is...]

    Ehipassiko (Pali). The Dharma welcomes all beings to put it to the test and to experience it for themselves.

     

    It's happening right now, before our very eyes! :ohnoez:

     

    And I thought he was off to build a cabin by a river to meditate on the cranes!
