Society & Culture - 13 January 2007

Your search among books, word upon word, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it is not the way to receive the reflection of your true self.

When you have thrown off your ideas as to mind and body, the original truth will fully appear. Zen is simply the expression of truth; therefore longing and striving are not the true attitudes of Zen.

-Dogen, "The Practice of Meditation"

Peace and Love

This is called death. i don't know why i wrote about this.

Death
Death, is my time near,
should i run to hid or have no fear.

Death, is it painful and overbearing,
is my life about to end,has everyone
stopped caring.

Death,is it that feeling you get when
there is no air in your body,or is it that
feeling you get when you pretend to be
a fairy.

Death, what is it really,
am i going to die,should i prepare
to cry. Am i going to leave this world
without saying goodbye.

Death,i guess no one
will ever know,or
maybe we do ,we just don't let
it show.

Have you noticed all these OLD gay dudes who use this YA board to validate their pathetic lives...and they actually take themselves seriously? AS IF young gays today would come here to ask serious questions and/or listen to these "probably" divorced, midwestern, blue-collar, psuedo- intellects and self proclaimed philosophers! What are they thinking? Would anyone want to listen to a bunch of losers and have them give advice? Shouldn't they all go to their local therapy groups and leave us youngsters alone? Do we care about their new -found romatic LTR's with other pathetic oldies? Can they teach anyone anything except maybe how to bake quiche or shop? Gawd...can we have our own YGA (young, gay answer) board and rid ourselves of these aged creatures?

I have found that many African Americans attach their own context to innocent statements made about their heritage. An example that I gave in a previous question had to do with the fact that I told my co-worker that she is amazingly pretty and amazingly African in her looks. This comment upset her. I asked opinions on Y!A and many earnest answers expressed unhappiness with any comment about their race. One young lady said that she was insulted when her boyfriend calls her his "little black angel". Why do people attach a negative connotation to the celebration of their ethnicity? Even the younger generation seems to feel this way. What is inherently bad about being of African descent? I don't get it

IS IT A RICH KID THING OR A RACE THING?

The Quran is said to be the unchangeable word of Allah. Not one dot or word can be changed. But can I copy and paste the Arabic Quran (from www.islamicity.com) and modify it slightly and then print it out and bind it? Will that invalidate the claim that it is unchangeable?

After each pair of animals on the ark had offspring, who did those offspring breed with?

Each other?

That's incest.

You mean to tell me that every single species on Earth is the product of incest?

That's biologically impossible.

The DNA of every single species on Earth would have been so corrupted 2 or 3 generations down the line that every single animal would have sucomb to genetic diseases and died off in less than one hundred years.

FACT.
