where is Love

[jimmoyer]

LOL, I love the part where each eyeball hangs to the socket by a tenuous glop of string and then zings off.

I've seen this before, but I can't stop watching it.

In fact I have another window open watching it right now.

Please help me.

Hope you don't turn into Rick James :roll:

Naw most of the heavy stuff was done a few years back... just the green these days.... I even quit smoking tobacco recently.

(You know, they call them fingers, but I never seen them Fing before...... Whoa, there they go)

Same here, more or less. Just tobacco and beer these days.

My love is back in Nova Scotia, but I carry it with me everywhere. They can't charge you a luggage fee for that!

 

[darkbeaver]

Farewell to Nova Scotia
do you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me

 

[talloola]

I'm enjoying every 'roast' that is sent china's way. He is not innocent at all, he has much anger in him,
and it came my way on the day he called me 'stupid', and I see he did that again today, so, carry on
folks, roast away, I'm being entertained, and he is a big boy, doesn't need protecting like a child would,
he can take care of himself quite well. A wolf in sheeps clothing, I think is the saying.
Other than this post, I don't opine to his posts at all any more, but I do come in and read, and I will
continue to do so.

Farewell to Nova Scotia

Yeah... said the jobs.

Dexter Sinister ,

Okay, your choice, but the alternative to knowledge is ignorance, and that's not a ticket to anywhere useful or interestin.

Thats the problem with you Dexter,you are full of knowledge ,you wouldn't surviave without it
You are correct when you say ..."okay , your choise " ,I was born with it and I'm living it for past 57years ,you dont have that free choice; you have exchanged that freedom for your knowledge,furthermore Dexter you can not go above what you know . Do you think Dexter that knowledge makes you wise ? I don't think so . "Knowledgeables" are worst bores on this earth. I don't have alot of knowledge ,but that doesn'tmean that I,m ignorant Dexter.Durring my 40+ ys in Canada I have done a lot for myslf and for other less fortunates ; while in business ,I hav met great number of people both in busness and political circles .Some of them are very close friends of mine .
All that time I have bin observing and learning Dexter ,learning from moment to moment ; every moment something new without accmulating the knowledge in order to "know"and become its prisnor. At the age 50 I have moved to China to open a new chapter of learning in my life.Is that ignorance Dexter.? Learning never stops Dexter , it is in the present , where the knowledge is past and there is nothing new in it.
the momenyt you say "I know" ,your brains stops learning ,think abot it .

will continue ...have a meeting

China, if you are 57 and have been learning and observing and can take those observations and successfully apply them to life then you have knowledge plus the ability to use it.

Knowledge is to have awareness of isn't it?

If one is alive and aware of anything then one has knowledge be it limited or vast.

One may also be knowledgeable and ignorant at the same time even about the same thing. We are dual. Due to many different variables, knowledge and ignorance exist simultaneously.

 

[china]

Praxius,

. all I attempted to do was to understand what he was trying to explain, only to get petty/insulting comments in return..... which to me, takes away any and all logic and respect towards what he was originally attempting to share with us

I apologize for the insult Praxius .Please understand that I get also insulted with every response to my posts.
Regarding not answering your post:Starting in April I have Started my annual work ;I'm on the road most of the time ,different city evry day,parties meetings presntations ....my time ,private time ,time to my self is very limited , i mean minutes. Whenever I find some , I like to relax at my lap top.It my take some time but I will answer your post Praxius , Thanks

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Thats the problem with you Dexter,you are full of knowledge ,you wouldn't surviave without it

No, it's not a problem, and I would survive without it, but I'd rather not.

You are correct when you say ..."okay , your choise " ,I was born with it and I'm living it for past 57years ,you dont have that free choice; you have exchanged that freedom for your knowledge,furthermore Dexter you can not go above what you know

You seem to be suggesting that ignorance is a prerequisite for freedom. I can't imagine how that could work. It's knowledge that's liberating, not ignorance. I haven't exchanged freedom for knowledge, I've exchanged ignorance for knowledge, and I think I'm better off for it. My ignorance is still vast, of course, there is much I don't know or understand and never will, life's too short to find out everything I want to know, but at least that always give me something interesting to do. I have no idea what you mean when you say I can't go above what I know, but I suspect you think it means I'm incapable of learning anything new, which is not true. I learn new things every day.

Do you think Dexter that knowledge makes you wise ?

Of course not. Knowledge is a necessary but not a sufficient conditiion for wisdom.

I don't have a lot of knowledge ,but that doesn't mean that I,m ignorant

Actually, yes it does, by definition, that's exactly what it means. Ignorant means lacking in knowledge or training. Look it up.

Learning never stops Dexter , it is in the present , where the knowledge is past and there is nothing new in it. the momenyt you say "I know" ,your brains stops learning ,think abot it .

Okay, I've thought about it, and I find that sentence to be incoherent. How is it possible that you can keep on learning yet find nothing new in the knowledge that gives you? Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, isn't it? And if it's not, what is it?

Obviusly I have some knowledge of different things which are necessary for everyday living ,but Idon't make a big issue out of it.Things changefrom moment to moment ,nothing is permanent, knowledge is in the past ;ther is nothing new in knowledge .

you have knowledge plus the ability to use it.

Well Sal ,whatI have learned is how to be in the right place at the right time .Trust me it's not knowledge .

Be baack soon

So everyone here is allowed to express an opinion but China is berated for his?

Of course he doesn't need any help and if insult is the tenor of this forum....

Curiosity

You've been in California too long gal!

You aren't the arbiter of morality and haven't been asked by anyone to act as moderator. As difficult as it may be for you to believe, people frequently get the response they derserve and maybe even offer the opportunity to others to respond out of anger or fear or contempt...because that response is a reflection of how we may or may not accurately internalize the concepts and dialogue....

China has offered his opinions and his observations for a fairly long time on this discussion board and sometimes he gets a response and sometimes he doesn't...... I've not bothered to respond to his overtures because it seems a pointless exercise....and quess what ... that's my right. Just as it's the right of other folk to be critical and reflective of the subtle disdain that China's offered as "enlightenment" through his convoluted discourse....

Relax .......

 

[Curiosity]

Mikey

I apologized to China personally in a PM for getting involved. He has never requested it nor have I felt it necessary to offer my mixing in until this particular thread just took a nasty turn.

As if China was on trial and had no rights.

Over the past years I have fully enjoyed the complex queries China makes - but the people here seem to think he can be beaten into some kind of submission.

Should I remain silent so as not to win anyone's disapproval... or what you describe as 'subtle disdain' ha! Screw that son..... Look at your own signature by Burke...

I'm not moderating - never was my intent - only blown away by the cruelty of my superiors.

If you can't be bothered Mikey why do you show up? Enjoy watching the public hanging do you?

 

[MikeyDB]

Curiosity

It may inform you a little my peach that I changed my signature line out of respect for what I interpreted as some insult China was feeling with respect to my old signature line...

And public hangings haven't held a great deal of interest for me...ever.

If you pay close attention what you'd find is that I haven't participated in this thread for some time and it was the happenstance of seeing your moniker appear here that inspired me to sample the waters.

Point taken though.... Lay off on criticizing China..... Because you find his contributions interesting or compelling or enlightening..... everyone else should demonstrate reverence and respect.....

Got it!

Obviusly I have some knowledge of different things which are necessary for everyday living ,but Idon't make a big issue out of it.Things changefrom moment to moment ,nothing is permanent, knowledge is in the past ;ther is nothing new in knowledge .

Very true that knowledge in any one particular area is not static. Everything evolves and changes from second to second. Nothing is as it was.

Well Sal ,whatI have learned is how to be in the right place at the right time .Trust me it's not knowledge .

Trust me China, it is......... lol........ you need to take credit where credit is due. Being in the right place and at the right time, may involve chance, but knowing what to do in the moment with the chance given definitely involves awareness.....

 

[dancing-loon]

Well, everyone, settle down and listen...
