What's not very spiritual is giving another person the power to affect your emotions.

If this thread upsets you, that is a condition purely of your own creation.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Were you respecting the feelings of all the loved ones of the 250,000 other people who died when you said you were not upset about their deaths?

If you are not required to be upset about the deaths of strangers, and you can casually state that their deaths did not affect you, why should anyone else be held to a different standard?

Spiritual narcissism is in the eye of the beholder. You appear very upset about this incident as it is personal to you. It is impersonal to everyone who did not have friends & family involved.

To tell people to "get fucked" when they express the same impersonal response as you did when you were asked about all the others who died the same day is hypocritical.

mushroom trip - quit watching TV


I don't think your affirmation has anything to do with this thread.
Besides that fact that is lack any seen (if I'll quit or if I already did) this won't change the fact that others are still watching TV.
This thread was not about me. It was about the impact that kind of news have on people... the way they are presented
Can you make the difference?

then i guess you wont understand, and you dont need to.
nothing wrong with anyone's point of view here. earth is small. everyone is. but feelings are feelings and if youre allright with rubbing salt in peoples wounds, and that is your path to enlightenment by all means follow the light. Because if your spiritual beliefs justify it, then it must be allright for the rest of us.

My x called me last night to tell me her friend Hiedi was shot three times and is in ICU

so sorry if im a little emotional and not able to be 100% intellectual at the moment. im just afraid of who else might be dead.

I think I'd care as I saw the giant meteor approaching.


I'd get out my telescope and have a deck party watching it approch. That would be awesome and a great and quick way to die.:thumbup::mushroom2:

This is a personalism and bares no resemblance to truth IMO. You still do not understand what debate is about.:thumbdown:

Utter nonsense IMO. No one is rubbing salt into anything. You are indulging again here in self righteousness. If you don't like this thread and it upsets and offends you then you don't have to be involved in it. Which by the way you seem eager enough to do. If you leave it be there is no problem and we can go on dealing with the subject matter which by the way really has nothing to do directly with the unfortunate circumstances at that school:thumbdown:

I didn't take it as an attack, I took it as being something irrelevant to the subject of discussion.

On a slight tangent, Whoopi Goldberg had a radio guest, possibly the Rutger's womens basketball coach and she was saying how the team was 'forever scarred' by Imus' comment.

Forever scarred by a silly comment from someone they did not know or care about.

Now let's compare that to someone who witnessed or was wounded or was family or a friend of a victim in the Virginia Tech shooting.

Hmmmm....

See my thread on 'Extreme Moderation'.

Self deprecation is NOT humilty. Everyone here has something to share.

Perhaps just unfamiliar territory which is why Diplod 'stickied' the thread 'The Fallacies of Philosophical Debate' at the top of the page. Understanding this article and WHY some forms of debate are unacceptable will much better help you play the game.

If you so desire, then you will get better. It is not that tricky, but may require some emotional taming.

If you're serious then I suggest just reading the rules of the forum first off and then take some time just to read posts and see how the debate works here. It you keep going the way you are very few are going to take you seriously. You can learn lots here and develope your skills. It's worth doing well.
