Guest guest Posted December 22, 2000 Report Share Posted December 22, 2000 How sorry I am for you, and how confused you must be in your heart. <br><br>Why would you say such a thing to Blondeismorefun?<br><br>I don't understand how an 'enlightened' person on any path of rightousness could concieve of, then actually put time and effort into, conveying an idea so utterly mean and ignorant (in the true sense of the word ignorant) for any reason.<br><br><br>And since you are, after all, a Senor (unless I am mistaken), I wonder how much you could possibly know about what involves mothering a child in the womb.<br><br>Your words are a "bogus miscarriage" of honest spirituality and simple human respect.<br><br>Fishy, you say? I could swear I smell rot emanating from these evil words that escape from your confused and delusional mind.<br><br>I will pray for you tonite, and every night,<br><br>"Mature in Yoga, impartial<br>everywhere that he looks,<br>he sees himself in all beings<br>and all beings in himself."

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 Lilly,<br>Although it is clear the SPW's post was mean and you are upset by it, I suggest that you practice indifference rather than trying to hurt SPW back by telling him you will offer "prayers" and "namaste." Such prayers are really only useful when offered silently. What is the point of using peace and prayer as a weapon? Why, if you really think he needs prayers, do you feel you have to announce it to him - what is your point? I am only asking because it is an arrogant and condescending action and probably does not reflect your true nature. Do not allow such negativity to effect you so. Making such threats using your assumed spirituality only seems patronizing, even though the target of your threats appears to you in need of what you have offered. Patronizing people does not help them change and stop abusing others. Indifference and compassion does. Step back, give space and let the shite drop to the ground where it belongs, and say a prayer if you need to, but you don't get any points for announcing it.<br><br>Funky T.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 John, please, the analogy is malapropos and moot. I still can't figure out what you would like people to do. E-mail Betty Lai? E-mail El Senor? E-mail Loulou? Then what? SPAM the Senor Pinche Wey inbox with hostile hatemail? Publicly declare holy war with a human facade? Chide and deride and play victim?<br><br>Indifference is appropriate when dealing with someone who has created a virtual ashtangabeast whose sole purpose IS to inflame, goad, mock, madden, and offend. The booby trap is reacting. Shockers shock because of and when they have a captive audience, so let's just turn off the TV and let the ratings drop.<br><br>Or, at least, change the channel.<br><br>Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 At the risk of starting a third world war here on this board, there are a few things I would like to address.<br><br><Patronizing people does not help them change and stop abusing others. Indifference and compassion does...><br><br>Really?<br>Is there never a time when one MUST take action?<br>Or is it that we should continue to be indifferent and compassionate to those who would keep us opressed by their ignorant and violent behavior?<br><br>Should Rosa Parks have been indifferent and compassionate towards the bus driver,?<br>Should the world have been indifferent and compassionate towards Hitler?<br><br>I am aware these analogies are extreme, but I mean, really.<br>I think the time for indifference and compassion <ONLY> is over, after such a horrible post <speaking of SPW's post><br><br>If someone is busily attacking someone I care about (verbally or physically) shall I stand there and do nothing, knowing that god (or the powers that be, whatever term you use) will stop this person from continuing his attack?<br>Hell NO!<br>First I will stop them from attacking, and only then can we cover more godly things,<br><br><br><br>2 Funky T...Hmmmm, not to be bitchy or anything although I must admit I am a bit offended and peeved. Wouldn't your attempt to foil my efforts and insult my 'spirituality', call me arrogant and condescending, accuse me of trying to get points for telling SPW I will say a prayer <BTW, points from who, exactly?> etc. be a violation of this idea of <Indifferent and compassionate...>?<br><br>Just curious.<br><br>Hope I haven't terribly angered too many people,<br><br>Namste<br><br>Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 "Hope I haven't terribly angered too many people"<br><br>Hey don't worry about that. Take a stand. Some of these weaklings are worth putting into their place. <br>Say yes to living. Shake these capitalist woosies up in their boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 Can you imagine what it must be like to be spw? I can and I thank "something" that I can't do it for an extended period of time. Chill out spw and "take a bong hit" and cut people as much slack as they cut you.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2000 Report Share Posted December 24, 2000 Lilly,<br>That's exactly my point - just say what you mean. As you have seen, even when you try to be nice, nice, nice, you're gonna piss someone off somehow. I think it's just fine to be PISSED OFF about the stupid, mean post. No namaste's from me on that one there. And you would see if you ever met me or knew me, I am one of the nicest people around. It's true.
