Coffee, Tea or Idiocy......
Oh how the right screams about the free market, but when they don't kiss the magic baby's ass they get all buthurt.
Starbucks didn't put the magic baby's name on their cups and didn't put the Constitutionally mandated "YOU WILL FUCKING BE ARRESTED IF YOU DONT SAY MARRY CRHISTMAS"
And resident retard

and you're wrong about that too. anybody who spent time in east asia, as you claim you did, should know the "fat guy" is not buddha.
it's funny you want people to take your overall point seriously when every detail you use to justify your point is wrong, often by your own admission. that makes your whole argument a brittle, empty shell.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

"Its complecated" is NOT an argument I am making. YES politics, religion and economic theory DO get complicated. Yea so does DNA that makes up grass, and made up the dinosuars, and makes up bacteria.
The only fucking thing I am getting at is all the petty crap humans fight over bacteria doesn't fight over. All the petty crap humans fight over the universe doesn't give one fuck about. Now, that does not mean any of us here should shut up or demand nobody ever get offended.
But we don't do enough viewing life the same way science views method, nothing starts out complex, everything goes from the simple to the complex. Just like when we are babies we are not born with knowledge of political, religious or economic views. We get sold those things when we get older. We didn't have those concepts 4 billion years go, and they will not matter after our species goes exticnt.
Now if you want to get "complex" neurology and biology and human psychology get complex, but they explain much better than that outside science, why we have false perceptions. And the biggest false perception humans have is that we are more important by proxy of label, when science knows "all this" doesn't give one fuck about any of us. Yes that was a short explination, but that still is what science points to. Which should be telling humans we need to get our priorities in order, stop caring so much about getting offended to the point of war, and make our goal as a species our common welfare.

Holy shit asshole. When I said religion wasn't arround 200,000 years ago, you know damned well I meant the written tradition way after nomadic migration. ALL superstitions humans have had, are still a result of evolution. My cat probably thinks I am a god. And he has his own ritual of wiping his paws before he drinks his water.
What the fuck is wrong with saying liberals don't matter, libertairains don't matter, humans don't matter? WE FUCKING DONT.
FOR THE LOVE OF THE JETS, PLEASE KEEP REPEATING listening to Sagan's Pale Blue dot speech until you get it.
No, being wrong only means I am wrong. Dont hand me that shit acting like Ray Comfort "Have you ever lied before, so that makes you a liar". Don't try to paint me like a criminal f. I have no doubt if you were put on a polygraph you'd fail if you tried to claim you have never lied. There is a difference between lying, and being mistaken.
Now remember what you just accused me of, knowing what you offered me in PM. If you truely though I was lying to the extent of a crime you woun't have done that. So what is your next move, deny that you offered me tickets to the Jets Redskins game?
You don't think I am evil you just think I am full of shit. I don't think you are lying, I simply think you got it wrong. If I truly though anyone on this website was a literal threat on par with say the KKK or Isis, I would not be here. My response

I dont live in the DC area, otherwise I'd take you up on it. Plus it be nice to verbally bitch slap you, verbally only.
We suck so it would not surprise if the Jets win.

Um no, this is NOT the first time on this website I have admitted I got it wrong. Again, you are suffering from selection baias and sample rate error.

Brian is attempting to achieve world record status for his idiocy. Unfortunately, ironically, he's too stupid to do so.

When Brian demonstrably and proveably admits to much less than 0.000000001% of his errors, selection bias is not an issue.

I don't even know that much about Buddha let alone have a fetish for him. I've read a handful of sutras and a few history books that included information about Siddhartha. Most of what I know about Buddhism I learned from iwbiek- you know if you actually read what people write, you will find that many on here are knowledgeable about interesting things- you can learn something!
For someone who goes out of his way to routinely say "capitalism isn't a political system" even when nobody has even suggested that it is, you are doing a shit ton of conflating. Why based on your argument here, religion IS a resource.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
If you only meant written religion, then it didn't support your point at all. You were attempting to argue that religion wasn't necessary for human development. All you have argued is that writing wasn't necessary (which is also false). None of us here doubt that your cat is smarter than you.
Many humans matter to me.
Why? I understood it perfectly well the first time and wasn't all that enthralled. Anyone who has bothered to look through a telescope understands that the Earth is an insignificant portion of the universe. I came to that conclusion when I was 8, it isn't complicated. It sounds like you need to listen to it a few more times, because Sagan's conclusion was in absolutely no fucking way that "humans don't matter". In fact, his conclusion was the exact opposite.
Yes, and when your mistakes are pointed out, dozens of times and you keep repeating them, it goes beyond a mistake. For example, repeatedly accusing iwbiek of being a buddhist and Che supporter.
You obviously don't know me that well. I have no problem hanging around liars. I frequent bars and poker rooms. You missed a fun walloping, both at the game and at the bar afterward.

yeah, he's brought up buddhism way more on this site than i ever have. honestly, my knowledge of buddhism has grown a bit rusty the last couple of years as i've focused more on hinduism for my phd. i haven't referred to buddhism in a long time, except in response to brian's histrionics. as for che, i've literally never mentioned him on this site (again, except in response to brian) since i joined in '08. that's all brian there.
