There's something wrong with human nature.

    so they can track and arrest you in another country because you had done some drug dealing in the US, is this only for US citizens?, if so, don't crap like this make the cons of becoming a US citizen exceed it's pros

    it's my assumption that, and mainly after 9/11, it's the losers around the world who are struggling desperately to come to the US, I don't think any decent person finds a reason to become a resident of the USA, the disadvantages truly out way the advantages of living in the US, actually giving reason to leave this country

  2. "includes rape victims'? I'd say yea, theres something wrong with a mind that could hold that opinion if only for the fact that
    the word victim defines (recite as if by Sam KInnison) SHE'S A VICTIM.

  4. Greetings All,

    From a larger perspective, try looking at the world (of time and mass) as a kind of addiCtion. It functions as an addition to a pre-historic (pre time/mass) Reality, a Being I sometimes call *Christ*. The math looks like this: Christ + addition = addiCtion. The experience of Reality (Christ) is a constant high sometimes described as "bliss" or "peace". Additions to such a Reality would present a rollercoaster ride of relative highs and lows.

    Everyone (in such a world) is attempting to get relatively high, compared to the lows. If it is not some kind of exodorphin, it will be some kind of endorphin that riders seek. An exodorphin may be something as ubiquitous as warm milk served daily to children and adults alike in many different ways (hint: Starbucks). Warm milk yields a peptide called casomorphin (milk morphine) and has an opioid effect. Besides the peptides offered by foods, the process of digestion itself offers endorphins as the lining of the digestive tract is massaged by passing matter. Certain combinations are sometimes called "comfort food". Meanwhile, runners are getting high on endorphins generated through minor trauma to muscular tissue and joints. Trauma to muscular tissue and joints is sometimes called "massage", and offers a potent cocktail of endorphins (endogenous - inner - morphines). When massage is isolated to narrow errogenous zones it's called "sex", and yields high doses of straight dopamine. Straight dopamine, when not mixed with other endorphines, can be highly addictive.

    Compare the endorphins generated by "sex" to a "full-body" massage that generally avoids the straight dopamine release (no "happy ending"). The high from such a session is powerful enough to diffuse any interest in the straight dopamine release generated by focused massage ("sex"). If you don't believe me, find a good practitioner and see for yourself. The inference is that an alternative mix of endorphins may be used to "detox" from their harsher endo and/or exo manifestations (ie. dopamine, heroin).

    I don't offer the above as a true *cure*, but only as a temporary stop-gap, until *the* cure can be accepted. The point is that peptides (chemical combinations) of inner and/or external source are ruling the behavior of the participants of that which is added to Christ/Reality; namely, "the world" (of time/mass). One type is not better or worse or more or less criminal. They are all fairly addiCtive to the *Great Hooker*. So it's always a case of "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

    The cure is the direct experience of "the Truth". The Truth is our natural heritage. No high in the world can compare to the high offered constantly by the Truth (no rollercoaster ride). The Truth is a Being. This Being is the ONLY Being, and so, is called "the Truth". All other beings are something mythical, theoretical, conceptual (ie. men, elfs, gnomes, trolls). The Truth is original. The Truth takes away all cravings. So, a return to our origin solves the problem of addiCtion by subtracting the rollercoaster ride we sometimes call (falsely) "life".

    Christ

  5. Reality is not painful. It's unreality that's painful. "The world" (of time/mass) is an unreality that passes for "reality". The very word "reality" conjures up the concept of a harsh existence. And this is because unreality is opposite the "paradise" of Reality.

    No, little sugar/salt/fat, no drugs/herbs/medication/alcohol/caffeine/nicotine etc

    Why not just a moderate intake of water/nutrition and regular excersise, like the wild animals do?

  9. By adjusting my eating habits I now weigh 175, which is exactly what I want my weight to be. Why isn't everybody else able to pick their preferred weight level, and then get there in less than a year like I did?

    Assuming you're not just trolling (and the jury is still out on that one), do you even realize why this isn't even remotely an intelligent question to ask?

    I wondered why people got fat too.. but then I had a family.

    Lets say you sit at a desk all day doing mentally tiring stuff. Then you come home and you have to help your kids eat and do homework.

    (On weekends you take you 3 boys to soccer - baseball, surfing and golf. so even then it is not easy to lose weight.)

    Now when you come home you can eat lean chicken and some green beans - sometimes.

    But other times you want to eat half a pizza, drink 3 or 4 sam adams, put in a dip, watch a game and scratch your nuts.

    That second choice is obviously wrong in the long term.... but in the short run.

    Now that is not entirely my life because I own my own business... but I can see how it happens - especially if you have a 2 hour commute.
