I thought about starting a thread on ethics, but since you already did one, I'll have to go find it.  As I posted on Swami's thread on "materialism", it bothered me that that attorney wanted to end a case just because it was eating into his profits.  He wasn't concerned about the client's rights. 

I am not really bothered by it, I just wanted to practice my typing some more.  :lol:

How about getting your actual Guru to post HERE himself/herself! :grin:



I did try to get him to come post here.  He's really arrogant.  He can't be bothered.  *Sigh*  Sorry.  But he doesn't mind discussing these things with me.

He believes a lot of the same things that I believe, but he's been figuring them out longer than I have.  LOTS longer.  I argue with him pretty much the way people here have argued with me.  He is very consistent, and he's meaner than I am.

For instance, I was talking to him about how can it be wrong to steal if a woman has children and she can't afford to feed them.  He said the mom should put them up for adoption and not be so selfish to try to keep them when they could have good homes somewhere else.  Then, she wouldn't have to steal to feed them, either. 

See?

I said that seemed pretty harsh, because she's a mom and we shouldn't expect moms to give up their kids just because they are enduring a hardship.

He said that, bottom line, stealing is wrong, and if you can't afford to feed your kids, do the kids a favor and give them to homes that can afford to feed them.

He's mean.  But he's got a good point.  Then he told me about Clarence Thomas, who was supposedly very poor and didn't steal and grew up to be a supreme court justice.  Also, about a mom whose husband was molesting the daughters, and she burned the house down and put all the kids in foster homes and got a job and after a while, she could afford to take them back again.  She didn't steal.

He laughed at all the rationalizations I told him about, when I was getting his opinion.  He told me to stop wasting my time.  :grin:

You guys would hate him, and actually, truth be known, I invited him to another forum once, and he came across so arrogant that people just went after him big time. He didn't care, either. They would attack his ideas, and he would just laugh and shrug them off and start a new thread. Then, when he had turned everyone upside down, he left.

I think that the people at that forum had a lot of insecurities. So when he started posting and showed he didn't care what others thought, they wanted to drag him down and make him care, make him feel bad. He just laughed. It's funny when he laughs stuff like that off. I feel bad when people are mean to me.

I went back about a month later and people were still talking about him. *Grin*

We don't really want him here. LOL.

In medieval times, the people were taxed too. Why? Because the king or had the power to do so, because he owned the enire country and all the people in it. No one was free.
In the times we live in, we'd like to think of ourselves as free to do whatever we want. The truth is your prescious Constitution was written by those who seized the power, and it's now being shoved down the throat of everyone being born on US soil. You're not free, you're not a part of the U.S. government. They'd just like you to think so. What it comes down to is those in power only care for more power. If Bush Junia didn't even get elected by a majority of votes, how can you think your 'voice' has more than half an ounce of weight?

Very little of the money the U.S. government goes to anything that would benefit the masses. That's why it's a right wing country, and not a socialist one. What does your government do for you besides provide meager education (the best education has to be paid for dearly and doesn't match up to that in Europe)and build and maintain a road network?
Granted, your government doesn't steal as much as my government does, for example, but my government gives more in return. It funds better education, a health system you can fall back on, pension payments, unemployment fees, classes you can take if you're unemployed, and so on.

So, basically, what I'm saying is this: taxation is theft, because the government is taking something that's yours, because they have the power to do so. There's no other reason.

I agree that it is theft when they take the money for social programs.

But if we all of us here on this forum got together to start a new country on an uninhabited island, we'd have to pave roads, and put in electricity, and form a police department to protect me from you thieves. This would all cost money.

To pay for it, we would probably start a "mandatory" contribution system, or whatever. I know, let's call it "taxes", and we'll automatically deduct it from your check and use the money to pay for public stuff, roads and stuff. Whatever that's called. Public works?

Taxing people to pay for stuff like that is a lot different from taking money to pay for all the other schitt to which we didn't agree.

Actually, even though we want to call it theft, I'm still going to go with jpod's reasoning on why it's not theft. Just ignore me.

Gee, that sounds like someone I know that posts here.  Hmmm, what is his name again?  :confused:

MM, the funniest thing...Last night, I almost wrote that my friend reminds me of you, but then I was thinking maybe I didn't know you well enough to say that, so I deleted my words.

Yes, I've seen you in action over in OTD, and you don't care, either. You are balls out over there, or whatever the expression is, and it's pretty funny. That's how my friend it, too. Just says it like it is, and even when people go after him for what he says, he laughs and moves on. They HATED him.

/moving on to the t hread on animals and humans.

I guess a lot of it depends on whether you care to be admired by insecure people. I don't.

I have had two common reactions from my presence, make that three.

1. Respect
2. Hatred
3. Fear

One time when a member had been made a moderator they actually said, "I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Mushrooms." As if I wanted people to fear me. And 3DSHROOM, the former owner of the Shroomery, told me that some of the administrators were afraid of me.

Well i guess i just wanted to hear what was in side that head of your head :wink: . But i guess its too simple, i dont know, i thought you would have made a comment on the topic at hand, and maybe relate it to your ethics thread. You have kind of done that, i dont know, maybe the depth escapes me.

You appear to take this far more seriously than most. While your ego may demand that people must "hate" you I can assure you this isn't the case. 99% of people will view you as nothing more than just another utterly anonymous guy on a shroom board.

You appear to have great difficulty distuingishing between "complete and utter indifference" and "hatred". Try and work on comprehending reality rather than letting the ego run away with itself.

I can't believe you pulled this thread back up. I thought it was finally dead.

Alex has had a fascination with me for years.  He can't help himself.

:lol:

He defends his hatred by giving it the appellation, 'indifference'.  This bears a striking parallel to those whose hatred manifests itself in states of depression.  It is hatred in the extreme.  Notice his hyperbole and extrapolate accordingly.

No hatred whatsoever. And no fascination either. I just thought you needed to try and understand reality rather than let your ego run away with you.

You really are just another anonymous guy on a shroom board to me and more than likely all the other people you claim "hate" you. Is that so painful for your ego to adjust to? Do you seriously think I can be bothered to "hate" a complete stranger on a shroom board? Don't judge everyone by your own standards. Relax a little.

The person who would believe that is the one who hasn't read enough of your posts.

You think you're clever. You're not.
