But that’s just it. They aren’t writing about what bothers them. They are posting opinion pieces from other people that they found interesting. There is a big difference.

The only common thread is that George W Bush / America is stupid / evil / greedy.

What’s the bid idea? What do people want to happen? Elect Democrats and leave the middle east? I’m all for it if we can move on with our lives.

I didn’t write that. I just ripped it off from the link I included.

I’m not sure what consipracy theory has to do with MW’s school of Taoism, but I thought I’d help the dumping by including my own dump. A little yin to the forums yang.

That’s fine. But let’s be honest in what we believe and how we represent ourselves.

If you go back to the initial post of this thread you’ll find 4 statements from a priest in a church.

1) the dualistic way we view the world is the problem
2) we are both human and divine like Jesus
3)…[Read more]

You used the word priest, which makes me think of the Catholic Church. So conditionally, if you uncle is a priest in the Catholic Church and you accurately represented his views and message, I guess he would be a schmuck.

I thought you wrote “This forum is not for mindless dumping or political harangues or venting using hate language.”

I think this piece easily falls under the “political harangues”, and possibly “mindless dumping”.

It seems that when I say armed freedom, people hear “war mongering oppressive conqueror”. But that is not the case.
