  1. billvon, Why didn't you classify shopshire's comment here as a PA? Just curious. We are all engines of karma
  2. It's ok for Muslims to have sex with animals. Do you qualify? That should answer your question. We are all engines of karma
  3. You and your "country men" will be living under Sharia long before we do. We are all engines of karma
  4. Strategy page is good stuff. We are all engines of karma
  5. Not only do you not make sense, your spelling is atrocious. Is that ebonics? We are all engines of karma
  6. They should say the Pledge of Allegiance before Obama starts his speech. Then they can be excused. We are all engines of karma
  7. You won't see a recovery until the massive uncertainty being injected into our life by Obama and the Democratic Congress ceases. American businesses are sitting on $1.8T in cash (the largest ever in our country's history) because they don't know how much more Obama is going to want to take when they try to spend it.

  8. One of the more interesting scenes during my days in Manhattan were when the Amish came in on a trip, clearly intending them to decide what they want to do in life. Very genuine people, who are simply not "part of our world" (for the lack of a better phrase). We are all engines of karma
  9. Buddhism is not phrased in those terms. Buddhism emphasizes transcending yourself for the benefit of all. There is no concept of spirit. It is simply mind and body. Mind is a combination of your thoughts and the feelings in your heart, simultaneously. Buddhists make absolutely no distinction between the two. They are one, and it is referred to as Mind. Your body is the vehicle for this life (known as samsara). Through your virtues accumulated via your "gross mind" (your waking mind) in this life (and those past), into your subtle mind (generally experienced as your sleeping mind), you make imprints on your very subtle mind. Your very subtle mind, and its imprints, is what carries forward into your next life, in whatever form that may be, based upon the total accumulation of your karma across all incarnations. Buddhism is the clearest expression of truth I have personally encountered. It is the only belief system that in no way violates my understanding of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics.

  10. Vote the Democrats out, and put an administration in place that emphasizes personal responsibility. That's the most effective approach I can think of right now. We are all engines of karma
  11. Just don't tell anyone. For the benefit of all. We are all engines of karma
  12. Interesting to watch. I found it encouraging. We are all engines of karma
  13. You mean like that are supposed to be doing via the gasoline tax? We are all engines of karma
  14. This is not a simple yes/no question. Liberals don't realize that allowing capital to work properly actually grows the pie for everyone, so that more pie can go into government coffers by actually reducing tax burdens. We are all engines of karma
  15. I would have thought someone would have figured out how to use sound to tell the whales to "RUN!!!" when the Japs are around. Maybe they're not as smart as some people think. We are all engines of karma
  16. Many, many people in the USA don't understand this. It's a continuing failure of our education system. We are all engines of karma
  17. Having lived in Cathedral Hill (Gough/Van Ness) for 3 years, I am utterly amazed you would even think of riding a bike around SF. That's pretty hard core. We are all engines of karma
  18. This brings a whole new, and better, definition of hope to the table. We are all engines of karma
  19. You've never had much credibility in my eyes to begin with. You now have zero. We are all engines of karma
  20. The world needs a clear winner. For many years, that was America. Obama's days are numbered. Let's hope nothing bad happens until then. We are all engines of karma
  21. Uhm, being able to side step questions with humor doesn't qualify you to be a judge on SCOTUS. We are all engines of karma
  22. Seems like alot of those around these days... We are all engines of karma
  23. Thanks for posting that. We are all engines of karma
