I usually shorten the names that are longer than two or three letters.
It save a lot of time Ex.
Just think.  Lightbulb
In one year only I saved at least one or two hours less on the computer.

You never thought of that Ex, did you?  Bird

Not true, and this is one of the things that is so stupid about it.

Remove violent aggression from the world and you have a world that still has its share of failures and successes, of disappointments and triumphs, of 'bad' things that we learn from and 'good' things that we celebrate. What you do not have is unnecessary pain and suffering inflicted by people upon one another for bad reasons or no reason at all. You can learn how to build a working light bulb or steam engine through a process of trial-and-error and deal with the pain that comes with failing over and over but which helps guide you to a success that you can then enjoy. That is not removed in a world where you don't have to worry that someone will rape your child or stab you to death.

I think it's pretty clear who didn't think.

So are you. The difference is that your guesses make less sense than mine.

Your belief leads to a system that doesn't work any better than the reactive and imperfect system we have. Your solution leads to either an incompetent or wicked source of 'justice.' You think that the horrifying things that happen in the world all lead to some kind of 'balance' and that this is a viable system for "learning" that is akin to the guidance that a loving parent provides for his children. In order to make your fantasy fit the real world you have to warp it into something terrifying. I am thankful that your karma and your god do not exist. The universe is scary enough as it is.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Before I left I kinda was developing a theory that anyone who uses that lightbulb emoticon can be generalized as a good example of Poe's law.
Gonna go ahead and assert that right now.  Lightbulb



Poe who?  Popcorn

Oh, the expert in guessing what other people may mean?  Worship

Actually I use emoticon as I would use salt and spices so the food taste better.  Indubitably

It already taste very very well as it is but I like the perfection and I also know how to put the right spice in the right dish.  Smile

Too much salt isn't good for you.  I'd consider cutting back on your intake. Lightbulb

Karma ??

I'm into freudenschade myself
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

How sad Ton.  Tut Tut

You can not remove some of the negative in this universe in order to suit your agenda.
The positive-negative package come as it is.
You got to take it as it is.
At the end it works in a way that lead to the very top of human emancipation.
If you would be able to reduce the negative effect one day then you become more lazy and the next day you wish to reduce a little more.
After sometime you want to get rid altogether of the negative effect and you find yourself totally idle
unable to do anything.
Nobody would work anymore.
Nobody would produce anything.  
There would not be any food to eat or any thing to generate energy.
There would be total collapse in the world and everybody would starve and die.

Sorry Ton your idea is totally bankrupt.

God system works.
Yours doesn't.  Lightbulb

RE: Karma poll
This is ridiculous, lol.

If I suddenly found myself living in a world where karma wasn't going to rape my daughters for kicking dogs......I'd still grow veggies for idiots like yourself to eat. In fact, I woke up in just such a world this morning and guess what, I still like what I do. Though every time you post I think that I might need to reassess whether or not feeding your ilk is really a good idea.

"God's" system was total bunk in the first place. Plopping us down here with no credible source of sustenance and thus sentencing us to mass starvation for untold generations of human beings. We had to breed all these crops ourselves and only recently, after much misery, have we managed it - and still we starve. Human emancipation my ass, this whole rock is a meat grinder.

Just a little workaday detail your silly ass creator missed. Talk about a fuckup.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Too much salt is not good to anybody so I use the right quantity.
Thanks anyway for your advise.
Now If you don't mind I give you my advise.

Salt by itself is a negative thing.
Lemon also by itself is a negative thing but when you mix the two in water it become a positive thing.
Yogi knew this for long long time.
After fasting a drink made with water lemon and salt is the best thing to clean up the stomach but is also good to help the digestion anytime.  Lightbulb

Fool.  Hi

Who said that God......... Plopping us down here with no credible source of sustenance and thus sentencing us to mass starvation for untold generations of human beings............
When the world became habitable there were all sort of food available.
Fruits, nuts, wild grains, veggies and animals for the carnivorous.
Nothing was missing so what are you whining about?

The reason why people are starving is because some people are greedy and want everything for themselves but there are also other reason as well like the love for meat that turn 10-15 Kgs of vegetable proteins into a Kg. of meat plus causing climate changes that ultimately also lead to starvation so nothing to do with God but to do with thick brains that can't get it.  Lightbulb
