Speaking of classical music...what did that famous German composer say to the bill collector?

I'm baroque right now, but I'll Handel it later?

Add it to the Liszt.
(Okay, I was Hungary.)
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.'

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress. Meditation is a technique, not a religion, IMO. Sound advice though, re the kittens, I'll take note of that.

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.

Hi Fred  from the UK! You seem like an open guy so I think you'll fit in here nicely.
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

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
