Lemme guess, you learned that from the movies just like Francisco? http://www.stephen-knapp.com/karma_of_the_nation.htm Event scientists don't argue the concept of karma. It is completely rational!

I disagree, and that's because you don't understand Karma. Buddhist principles are very logical. The reason people so easily disbelieve Karma is because there's this misunderstanding Karma means tit for tat, just as you did, which is (of course) not logical at all.

My explanation of Karma earlier included the fundamental aspect of humans having a conscience. Is a mass serial killer going to feel "connected" with the rest of society and his friends? No, he'll lose out on one of the most important aspects of life itself - and that is his feeling of...

That depends if the willingly manipulative woman is not just using you to tick her husband off and consequently blow your brains out with a handgun.

Okay, so she's not a virgin.

Fair enough - I thought the other examples given were good indicators of straying from the topic a bit to expand upon Mr. Positive's 'standards' sentiment, but I can see where one could overlook that... I was also demonstrating that just because one can choose his own morality does not mean he...

Francisco, if you can't read between the lines, then let's just leave it for people who can... LOL we are at this point arguing over nothing. The only point to be made is that people are ultimately responsible for their actions due to our inward conscience and our outside environment. And they...

Why? There is gloom and doom with every choice you make in life. Why would guys use that as an excuse to not do many things?

I am talking of men who want a relationship. I am not talking about this situation. If a man opens himself to that ground, he becomes attracted to women who are of that same ground. If he wants the relationship and stays open to that ground he prior opened, then how and why can he expect his...

The key word there was willing. I should have used the word willingly manipulative. If she feels it's ok to do it to one guy, she will have no problems doing it to another even if he's a DJ (the same principle applies, which is "willingly manipulative": anything that benefits as long as she...

Karma is simply cause and effect. - You sleep with a willing married woman - you give her power to burn you as she did her husband. - You rob a bank - you carry that conscience with you, naturally alienating yourself from those and the benefits of those who would not do such a thing. (Why...

You reap what you sow. You mingle with those who share your sense of morality. This is where the logic behind Karma lies.

What made you come to that belief? Oh, I know. I know he is from the school of thought I was raised with, but I cannot understand how one can come to that conclusion logically. It's all based on faith... Faith which can even contradict all logic... but of course, the age old faith issue.

Is this a dig at LMS? I'm appalled...

Excellent points Azanon. Most people I speak with have their own version of morality that was formed as a direct extension of and consequently benefits their own strengths and weaknesses. Many people cannot see beyond this self-issued propaganda - possibly because they do not look for it, and...

How ironic, I'm in Eastern Europe right now in a country that was freed from Communism only half a century ago. They're still at war and in a state of flux here (hundreds of miles from where I'm at) because of a power imparity where most of the power is held by the government. I feel safe here...

LMS, stop feeding the 31 year old female shopaholic troll. She's clearly taking her anger against this forum for no other reason than to alleviate her past.

Terrorists? Give me a fvcking break. Terrorists are people who rise up against the government. By utterly ignoring the constitution because of these terrorists, you remove our rights to rise up against our own government. The very reason the constitution was formed in the beginning. The...

Is your life going to be led by a government who makes decisions for you? What is wrong is now decided by your government, not you. Open your mind. There is a reason the constitution banned such acts.

What's so crazy about a group of guys giving off false smoke signals? It's the norm rather than the exception whenever a large crime is committed. You never heard of Enron? You never been to court proceedings? It happens EVERY day.
