Good job. Stay on top of people like this. Just yesterday, I noticed a billboard for Ford trucks saying, "Tougher than a 2 dollar steak!" WHAT?? The end of Western civilization creeps closer...

Why I never had children in the first place. I feared what I put my Dad through, I'd go through myself.

I have no idea. It depends on where it's used and who using it. Here, it means cheap, inexpensive stuff, like a water bottle, key chains, name brand stickers, etc., used in the context of a vendor presentation to sales people needing to be familiar with the products they sell.

I know what you were talking about, and thank you for changing it.

I've been meaning to ask. What is the situation like for Deaf people there in India?

That is hilarious! You kicked people off the FREE network, and now, everyone else has to have their own account! My mobile hotspot (since we have no other Internet access out here in the country without going to satellite) is configured to only let my computer get in and no one else. And...

I've seen one called "FBI Surveillance." Since it's at a coffee house, it can't be the house's network. It has to be a network for a tablet or a computer, and I look around. Can't tell who it is...

I have to wonder if ISIS and the deaf captives will understand each other or not.

In the last few days, I finished reading Living Enlightenment, Breaking India, Intro to Vedānta (Commentary to Tattva Bodha), and Tattva Bodha. Now, I'm reading Śiva Sūtras and Being Different.

Mark my words: You will forever be like an immigrant, a stranger in your own country, with no place to call your own. You cannot understand what the majority of the people say. This is very disempowering. You end up going underground, like I did.

This fantasy can become reality if you have a neighborhood/town built and populated with deaf people. Why is it that Christians have a "home area," Muslims do, too? Why Russians, Cosaks, everyone else but Deaf people? The Deaf do not have a single town/city/enclave built to accommodate this...

It's a little more complicated than that... I forgot to mention that good action is to be done without expectation, but simply because it is the right thing to do, with no expectation or motives attached to the action. If you read again the last posting I made, it explains why people who...

The problem is, you don't see where the good karma that results from this. The immediate benefit is that the sweet old lady gets to rest while sitting. The delayed benefit, or one that is "invisible" (or should I say several) is that other people see that you are kind (30 years from now, a kid...

You couldn't be more wrong... It's not "outdated." It is about money. And about being careless about the quality of the candidate for the job. They don't catch the ones who are VERY GOOD about lying/making up stuff because they can't see the body language that gives them away, you can't see...

Caz, the stoning thing or the honor killing is much more prevalent in the north of India than in the south.

My understanding of arranged marriages, if done right, is that two people come together with the help of their parents who are supposed to know their children and what they are like, and help make better matches than the young adults themselves are capable of (as they've not had the experience...

I would suggest filming yourself opening your first bottle and drinking it completely, regardless of how bad it tastes, and wait and see if you get sick and vomit it back up. Someone did that with a 20-year-old bottle of Pepsi Crystal. He drank it, thought it was great, and in a few minutes...

I read books and respond to forum comments all day long. Currently, I'm reading Living Enlightenment and Breaking India. At temple, I read Introduction to Vendānta: A Commentary on Tattva Bodha. I see my spiritual adviser once every 7-12 days. About once every two weeks or so, I spend about...

Then don't mention his name here again. Don't contribute to it.

And no one seems focused on the "will" part, only the way to do it and the punishment for those caught. Western civilization doesn't have good answers on how to deal with this at the macro level. It just keeps reacting to individual gang's actions and doesn't look at itself as the cause to...
