Eponymic Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Nicole - in your upcoming reading list, might I suggest "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie? Just a suggestion. I think the only book that Nicole has read it "How to Win Enemies and Inspire disgust in people" It's one thing to be sassy & sharp, it's entirely another to just be out & out cold. And unfortunately Nicole you lean more towards the latter in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, anyone who takes offense to TAP needs a checkup from the neckup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccasStillSeeking Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Where do you think you will go after you die? No, no...purely non threatening, just curious. IF you are a Buddhist, it's a long answer. No, i'm not a Buddhist ~ was. So... where will you end up? Or don't give a Foook? Care to share? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Having had enough experiential evidence to overcome my considerable skepticism, I believe in reincarnation. Which is saddening, because I don't actually like this world very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, anyone who takes offense to TAP needs a checkup from the neckup. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My opinions of Nicole are not particularly positive thus far. She still owes me a straight answer on my "where was God" question, and her tapdancing around the issue pissed me off royally yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this that shouts hypocrite to me. Nicole, How can you expect us to give you leniency or accept you if you can't even show compassion to someone who's faith is similar to yours? Or is that your whole purpose here? To mess with people? I should hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is saddening, because I don't actually like this world very much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Becca, I can easily see how one can lean towards reincarnation, IMHO. Yet, it seems to me the nature of it is to work out lessons here, so that we don't have to do it again. The ultimate end is peace and joy for all, as I see it. Is that how you understand it to be? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotter Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Amanda one time you mentioned in one of your posts there are Biblical hints suggestive of reincarnation. Would be delighted if you further elborate on this. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro-bear Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Right... This is just like saying, I'd rather support the man committing genocide than not support him and suffer the consequences. It's inherently the same. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it's worse! It's like saying I'd rather support the extremely hypothetical man committing genocide than not support him and maybe suffer the extremely hypothetical consequences. Pascal's Wager assumes a false dichotomy, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFeline Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 That's not 'just' a suggestion -- it's an 'unsolicited' suggestion. There's a monumentally huge difference, but apparently not huge enough for you to grasp. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have another "unsolicited suggestion", Nicole. Here's $20. Go find yourself a nice john. In other words: Get fucked. Jesus fucking Christ, I don't even have to read all of your posts to know that you're a little bitch. Tell me, dear, when do you plan on moving out of mommy's basement?

I don't mind debating with a few interested folks on this... I don't feel like being under seige by multitudes on all sides , as I KNOW this is very controversial. Anyone interested, PM me. Thanks.

Enough enjoyment! It's not the spelling error! It's used wrongly. In the post I above, I had to edit it cos it was even used wrongly ~ yep from the dictionary! Another one is "its" and "it's".

Non-existence. Living after death is nothing more than wishful thinking. I don't see how it is scientifically possible for the brain to survive after death unless you have proof.
