  1. First Post - Introductory Post by Paul (Still_Waters)

    Hi Paul. Welcome. Sounds like you may have some nice things to share with us.
  2. Voting Question

    Well, we still get to vote on those issues the wealthy and powerful allow us to vote on. Something is better than nothing.
  3. Albert Camus Quotes

    Enjoy and be safe.

    But not beyond effect. Work that one out regarding "cause and effect" if you can.
  5. Modern London A City Of Death!

    I have never done a study of that concept myself but it is what I picked up over many years of reading Rome's history. Seems to me London is headed in the same direction along with the West Coast of the USA.
  6. interrupted meditation session

    No apology from me. All I'm doing is reading the thread.
  7. Albert Camus Quotes

    Well, that doesn't sound very inspiring. How about endless Spring?
  8. What are you listening to?

    Good song, good presentation. I still haven't tired of my psychedelic music yet.
  9. The tendency to think people of old were dumb

    Agree. The knowledge has become wisdom. Wisdom arises spontaneously.
  10. Modern London A City Of Death!

    That was earlier in its life. Later when they got lazy and hired illegal aliens to do their work for them is what I'm talking about.
  11. Just Started

    Hi Tony. Welcome. Just starting is good. Lots of opportunities for learning.
  12. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Well, look what happened to the Roman Empire when they tried it.
  13. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Yeah, a lot of things could happen to speed up the process.
  14. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Actually, an example of this can be seen regarding what happened in Egypt after Obama and Clinton screwed things up royally. But in Egypt's case it was the military that took action. Little chance of civic revolution.
  15. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Doesn't need to be war. But it will include chaos for a while and maybe civil revolution.
  16. Modern London A City Of Death!

    I know. But if we keep it realistic it's not all that difficult.
  17. Modern London A City Of Death!

    My point exactly.
  18. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Sure ethnocentrism works. And the lion shall lay down with the lamb.
  19. Albert Camus Quotes

    Who won?
  20. Albert Camus Quotes

    Yeah, a month ago I went to Wal-Mart and they were putting up the Christmas stuff. It's all about money. Put it out so people can buy it. Jus checking about the lady's room.
  21. Modern London A City Of Death!

    Yeah, I think we all are guilty, at some point, of unfair bias. That went away with the last upgrade. I agree, it was a useful tool.
  22. interrupted meditation session

    If you are going to beat your self do it with a wet noodle. No need for abuse.
  23. Deep meditation

    The brain needs oxygen. Don't deprive it.
  24. Democracy

    Thanks. I will be leaving shortly to cast my votes. I hope your want materializes.
  25. The tendency to think people of old were dumb

    Knowledge is, IMO, basically book learning. The real world has never read the book.
