question for buddhists

in buddhism, what happens if a being continues to create lots and lots of negative karma in every lifetime and never reaches enlightenment? does it continue to reincarnate forever or does it eventually get recycled?

The Buddhists believe eventually all beings will reach enlightenment.

well the thing is once you fall below human you cannot intentionally cultivate bad karma, of course you do because you are drawn by your whims without a mind to keep you from acting on them.....
but being lower than a human is like automatically burning up really bad karma....
it's really only the humans or maybe above humans that could do such a thing dliberately.... and they would not retain the persistent consciousness between lifetimes necessary to choose to deliberately commit bad karma.
so i dunno. we all become Buddhas/Enlightened eventually. We just have to water the right seeds and pull out the weeds.

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Wasn't buddha just a man, like anyone else, that created a philsophy, is his definition of this so called karma so important that we also have to worry about shit thats beyond us. I thought buddha's only concerned themselves with things they only actually knew.

I don't think Buddha concerned himself with these kinds of questions. He left that for the religion they created around his teachings.
Here an interesting insight into this. I got involved with and finally taught a specialized form of Martial Art that was very direct and never showy, but deadly effective. It had few principles and physical moves compared to other Martial Arts. We had trouble keeping students because of this. Most wanted fantasy and moves they could show their friends; they wanted belts so they could talk about their rank, and some forms they could show to their friends. Finally the head instructor had to add some of these things, just to keep enough students to pay the bills. Think about this.

WTF are you talking about? The insight is into religions and how they form.

You comparing it to there motives of stature, Yeah I did a year of
TKD, Our teacher was fourth degree black belt, flawless in form, we
didn't care about belts and rank, our class was pretty small, and
our skill usually surpassed our belt rank, I was a green belt, but
fought more like a blue belt, we would go into tournaments and whoop
everyones ass, having a small class was a benefit because everyone
got the personal attention they needed to succeed.

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with my post or this thread.

I undersand the anology, with the martial arts class and religion
the motives of vanity are the same, so thats why each of them grew
to something blown out of proportion, instead of the core principles
being focused on, it grew into something to satisfy each persons
ego, and status, this is basically society today, which I fucking
hate
