(Okay, I was Hungary.)

The Chopin Liszt, you mean?  And I think the correct pronunciation is, "Hungria", if Kevin McCarthy ruled the world.

I'll play the straw man card here.

Yes meditation is a technique and? Buddhism is a religion still. They have temples and holy people and monks and prayers and different sects that do not agree as to how to follow the writings.  Buddhism is a spin off of Hinduism fyi. It's hero is also rooted in superstiton, magic and mythology. The earliest depictions  of the first Buddha have him born from Royalty in Queen Maya, who is told by the divine world that she would give birth to a gift to the world. He also avoids the birth canal and is born out of her side. Buddhism is a religion, period.

Asia also has Jainism and Taoism and? Those are religions too. Sam's fetish about Buddhism is no different to me than if Ben Carson claimed Jesus was real because he is a neurologist. The "self control" that the west gets so hung up on is stupid to focus on. Navy Seals also get trained to endure too and I doubt very many of them are Buddhists.

I get this same argument dodging the word "religion" from every religion. I've seen Jews do it and even Christians do it. Buddhism is a religion.
The Hindus have temples for rats, yeah, RATS, 1000s of them.  Why?  Because Ganeshi, the Elephant God has pet RATS, and you dont want to piss off Ganseshi, nossir, then you will have to walk everywhere and carry everything on your own back.

I'm not a fan of any religion, except for studying the various texts for cultural, historical insight.  They can ban all the idle and oppressive clergy and "holy men" from the planet, and I hope they do it sooner than later.

Meditation is a technique only, to allegedly discover "within oneself" this thing called "Nirvana" which has 1000s of years of oral, empircal verification behind it and it is said to be a REALLY good, profound experience.  You can DO meditation w/o Buddhism or any religion, it is a technique. That is the extent of my and Sam Harris' or anybody who is serious about it, interest.  And Sam is also interested in possible neuroscientific explanations thereof.

I'm interested in hearing more about your political opinions as I moved from socialist towards the centre over the years and now consider myself pan-political. We should definitely get together for a cup of tea and a chat  Smile

I went with cake this time love. You know how I like to switch it up.
Who knows, next time it might be coffee or even mocktails

Top o' the mornin' to you, UK Bed Davis!  Know what?  I think British women are HOT!  Know why?  Because they got that language thing DOWN!  Nothing hotter than a woman who can 'articulate', if you know what I mean!  Rosemary Church, yeah, I'd could go there--for a 'minute'.

(Aside, true story: when I was in h.s. I was in a Sottish Pipe and Drum band--killer drumming, btw--and dated the twice consecutive world champion Scottish Highland dancer...from Kansas City, MO. Mary Beth Miller, Google it.)

The cake, a bit on the decadent side for me, but maybe the Cafe' Cause Celeb offers a nice bran muffin too.  "Pan political", like Peter Pan, you mean? Means nothing to me.  One is either a communist or a capitalist, and those are the only 2 options.  You are either dog eat dog or dog help dog. I don't use the term "socialist" much anymore, though if one knows the actual Marxian meaning, I'm ok with it.  It's easier for me to just say "communist", it's more clear and committal and people know where you stand.  It's like atheist v agnostic.  I am an atheist communist.

So, I am avowed to NOT chit chat on las materias politicas with avowed capitalists, since I'd rather poke my eyes out with ice picks than to do so.  However, since I live in the belly of the capitalist beast, I would consider doing so for $$$!  And lot$ of $$$.  I wrote a couple of fab books worth on the subject on the last atheist/capitalist site I recently got banned from(foreVAR, I might add)--I mean I've never had so much systematic and vehement attack aimed at me, the only commie, in my life, from allegedly "thoughtful", "open minded", "nice" people.  You DO NOT go after their poopy capitalism, nossir, but I am committed to truth(s), justice, and fairness and I will BRING IT, when I choose to.  I'm too old not to, at this point, gotta have a legacy, for the next generations and be on the right side of the fence, history.  I am already feeling the pending attacks @ me here for just saying that little bit.

However, IF you REALLY want to chat about las materias politicas con moi, pm me and we can arrange something and I will give you the info as to my PAY PAL acc't, lol, and we can get started forthwith.  You won't be disappointed ands there is a 100% $ back guarantee, I mean, just look at all the stragglers from the aforementioned site coming over yonder here because they need their Fred H fix.  They just CAN'T QUIT FRED HAMPTON, because FRED HAMPTON is the REAL DEAL!  No one keeps Fred Hampton down!

(read my lips?  no, read my sig)  Wink
