2:06 Are those asian soda bottles?

[autumnlauber]

@d0ck47 yes they are. I've been a fan of the Japanese subculture of Anime for a very long time and have acquired many Japanese things.

[autumnlauber]

This video would have been to long so I divided some of it into a part two. Those of you who don't like this video that much will like part two which is about being anti-theist

@autumnlauber What are your favorite animes?

@autumnlauber What are your favorite animes?

[TheresaLockwood]

hmmm. I am impressed and think you are smart. You are a thinker! and think many things especialy being young. But also I give you this ot think about. The Karma note you read, of the Dahli Lahma..think about it, does it really mean if you do good things good things will happen and if you do bad things bad things will happen? Your a smart person, is it not possible, that those who do, do good, bad things can happen, and do not bad things happen to the good, and good things happen to the bad?

@autumnlauber So, is the soda Japanese? I ask because here in Arlington, TX, there's this big asian store, that i think may be Vietnamese, and I would guess the soda would be Vietnamese.

Sorry for being rude, I know we don't know each other well but how's your day going?

I LOVED THE NYAN CAT SHIRT!!! Also, despite the fact I am a Christian, I do admire the Dalai Lama for his wise sayings.

cool room =)

@autumnlauber Glad I watched part two first. I honestly would have ranted at you about Buddhists not having a monopoly on or being the inventors of meditation, but I would guess that you knew that already.

Information on the origins of meditation is not easy to find, at least not correct information, but there is a certain "other level" of consciousness that is accessible to those who know themselves well, and in a real scientifically measurable way, we resonate in tune with the entire world.

you should read Siddhartha by Herman Hess is the life story of the buda

Autumn, if you want to continue on this path you just have to watch Penn & Teller's Bullshit. It's like a university course in skepticism.

@jymbo1969 : Why don't you ask a Jew? Jewish people (practicing and non-practicing)

are descendants of the ancient Hebrew people of Israel. They have set themselves apart as an ethnic group and nation, It's called nationalism.

[jymbo1969]

@mrfilthyrags Actually, I am using the first (primary) definition. Therefore I am using the word correctly, and you are not. You want to majke me a racist, but it's simply not possible. Judaism is a racist religion, that you seem to believe in true. You believe there is such a thing as the Jewish race/religion.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

@mrfilthyrags Gonna keep playing that game, huh. What ever, mrdoucheybags 

[mrfilthyrags]

@SeriouslyPissedOff : Right... like I said it is far easier to pretend that you have balls when sitting behind a computer.

[mrfilthyrags]

@jymbo1969 : I just find it amusing that anti-Semitism is defined as behavior discriminating against Jews: policies, views, or actions that harm or discriminate against Jews.

But somehow it doesn't mean that, you must know something that scholars do not, but that's obvious since you are clearly of superior intelligence...

[butsgalore]

Wait, I feel misled here.

The picture I clicked on had you eating a cookie and I watched the video wondering whether it was an Oreo or not only to NOT find out whether it was or not..

Was it?

Also, Y U NO use picture from the video itself?

[jymbo1969]

@mrfilthyrags So, my definition was the first one... so, you admit you were wrong. Thank you. It's nice to see an arrogant ass admit his mistakes. So, by definition one can certainly be anti-Judaism and not be anti-semite.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

@mrfilthyrags False name and image? What the fuck are you talking about. If we were lucky enough to be face to face I would backhand you for being so arrogant. If you were more mature than me you first comment never would have taken place. -But it did.

[MistressArte]

The thing that annoys me most about that is that it's basically telling people who bad things happen to that they deserved it. That's why I think it's a bad thing to think along those lines, sometimes bad stuff just happens it isn't your fault.

[doutonight]

Keep in mind buddhist countries also had slavery, rigid caste systems, harsh sexism, a feudal system, weird 'moral' rules, etc. The Dalai Llama is basically exactly like the christian pope, only orange and with better PR. We just see them differently because a) buddhists arent as known to us, and b) they are exotic and therefore different (even though they arent really different)

Even a blind person throwing darts will hit a bullzeye. Just like modern religions.
