		<description>&lt;em&gt;Perhaps she was upset she could not convert me to the rational belief system of Athiesm. I will readily admit shamanism does not deal with that which can be perceived by the five senses. But that does not make shamanism irrational, only non-rational.

Wrong yet again...  but I&#039;ve had enough of you.  You&#039;re wasting my time.

Besides, I&#039;ve made my point.  Leave me alone and you&#039;ll have no problems, but insult me and you will.  It has been and will be that simple.</description>

		<description>Escalation? Possibly. With a new president we might gain enough good-will in the world to create a force of over one million soldiers to PACIFY the &#039;insugency&#039;, disarm the entire nation, and secure the borders so that jihadi&#039;s would not be able to ship weapons or enter for their martyrdom. Then, the people could elect another government, build an army and law enforcement structure, and we could reduce the entire occupation army to border patrol duties. Naive? I haven&#039;t heard any better ideas. Compartmentalization  would only set the stage for future civil wars unless we did the pacification and border control anyway. I guess we could just leave and send an apology. Any other viable options?</description>

		<description>Si Byl, if memory serves correctly, it was Walt the Man who made the disparaging remarks.

I have found, be it Unbelievable or anyone else, we usually find fault in others those faults that lie within ourselves. Unbelievable accuses others of being passive/agressive, yet her posts are just that. And when someone repeats the mantra &quot;I do not lie&quot; I wonder whom s/he is trying to convince. And, as you saw above, she attributed a direct quote to me something which I did not say.

Her thinking I was trying to &quot;convert&quot; her to shamanism was so far off the mark as to be pathetically laughable. Walking the path of a shaman is a calling, and a gift. One does not convert to shamanism. One is, or one is not, a shaman.

Perhaps she was upset she could not convert me to the rational belief system of Athiesm. I will readily admit shamanism does not deal with that which can be perceived by the five senses. But that does not make shamanism irrational, only non-rational.

Even the rational system of Athiesm makes certain assumptions, mainly, that that which can be perceived by the five senses (enhanced by technology) is the limits of the Universe. Shamanism rejects that premise.

But I digress. Your point is well taken, Si Byl.

Peace and Blessings.</description>

		<description>Not so fast;I have one thing I&#039;d like to add to this discussion.

Atleast twice in the last 50 posts,unbelievable said that she &#039;doesn&#039;t lie&#039;.
Yet she told me,thus everyone else on this blog,last spring,that her Mother was dead.This turned out NOT to be TRUE.
Now answer your own question: What kind of person would say that about their own Mother just for the sake of winning an argument?
Now you all are beginning to see why I&#039;ve had such acrimony with her in the past.

Just for the record,BnF, I never,ever,insulted her Mother,that&#039;s if you were referring to something I might have said.
She told me her Mom was dead after I said she probably lives at home with her Mom.
All this can be found in the archives.
This is who you are dealing with,and she has no respect.</description>

		<description>Trueblue,

Of course, Unbelievable is offended by any remark about sexuality:

&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Menâ€™s peak is 17, and womenâ€™s is 40. Iâ€™m guessing Iâ€™m closer to 40 than you are to 17? :)

Comment by unbelievable â€” April 17, 2006 @ 4:03 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

and:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;I think itâ€™s a plot by women in their 40â€™s so they can get 17 year old men :)

Comment by Tundra â€” April 17, 2006 @ 4:19 pm&lt;/em&gt;

I assure you, thatâ€™s mostly a guy fanatasy. &lt;strong&gt;As men age they get better in other ways. :)
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Comment by unbelievable â€” April 17, 2006 @ 4:29 pm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

and this:

&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;If a course is called â€œShaving your legsâ€ there is no reason to discuss how to braid leghair (Thatâ€™s for unbelievable)

Comment by Tundra â€” April 17, 2006 @ 8:34 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Flirting with me again, I see ; )&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Comment by unbelievable â€” April 17, 2006 @ 8:49 pm
&lt;/em&gt;

 finally capped of by this:

&lt;blockquote&gt;If I were asked for a one line answer to the question â€œWhat makes a woman good in bed?â€ I would say, â€œA man who is good in bed.â€

Comment by unbelievable &quot;
 
amen to that!!!  (care to put the hypothesis to a test? ---just kidding...)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;


Perhaps it is Unbelievable who is envious of my spirituality. She has derided the thought of breathing a cloud away, yet I&#039;ve taught others to do so as well.

Perhaps she was offended because I was just kidding.  After all, I have mentioned on these boards that I wear a kilt. And you know what they say about a woman scorned.  I mean, to take what I wrote and somehow twist that into insinuating that I, a married man, was interested in having an adulterous affair with someone who lives a couple of thousand miles away takes either dimentia, a great imagination, or wishful thinking.

And Trueblue, as you can see, a shaman would say &quot;Amen.&quot;

There&#039;s another word, a greeting, I say to you:

Namaste.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Wow. Donâ€™t you think a lot of yourself.&lt;/em&gt;

More projection and insults.  Do you do anytihng else?  Like perhaps, comment ontopic?

&lt;em&gt;Youâ€™ve pissed off a number of regulars with your venom.&lt;/em&gt;

You&#039;ve pissed off a number of regulars with your thread hijacking over inane nonsense and inability to let go and move on.

&lt;em&gt;Even last night I stated that no one was perfect, and I made mistakes.
Yet you can not do the same.
Talk about Narcissistic Personality Disorder.&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s all about you.  You have to compare yourself to everyone else and then condemn them when they don&#039;t measure up to your standards.  It&#039;s why I had started to ignore you initially.  And then, you freaked out.

When I am wrong, I have admitted it.  In this case, the only mistake I ever made was trying to reason with you.  Otherwise, I&#039;m just doing what I said I would do - not tolerate being insulted.

&lt;em&gt;Just drop the whole thing, please? Oh, is that too angry for you?&lt;/em&gt;

See, here&#039;s the thing.  You want me to do what you want.  That&#039;s so freaking self-centered.  

I did drop it.  You got the last word last time.  But that apparently wasn&#039;t enough and youhad to start up again.  So - you started this one - you drop this one.

Stop telling me to do what you won&#039;t.

&lt;em&gt;Iâ€™ve said please twice. In response, you have told me to â€˜drop deadâ€™. Nice. Whoâ€™s angry?&lt;/em&gt;

&quot;Go dick cheney yourself&quot; is angry.  drop dead is a brush off.

You&#039;re tlling me to do something and then trying to berrate me while failing to realize that you yourself won&#039;t drop it.


&lt;em&gt;Just let it go, ok? Life is too short.

Then why are you still chattering about it?  If you were serious, you would let it go.

See what I mean?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I stand corrected, Unbelievable. I did send you one email, on September 27, asking for your opinion regarding http://www.v911t.org/911PlaneSite.php. Either you didnâ€™t view the video or you choose to believe in the Administrationâ€™s lies in spite of the laws of physics to the contrary.&lt;/em&gt;

Yes.  I do not lie.  You did send me that one last.  I chose to ignore it as I did the several since May when you sent the one about sexual compatability.  Because if you could cross that line, I saw no point to continue the discussion.

As for 9/11, you never mentioned how many &lt;em&gt;years&lt;/em&gt; of Physics you&#039;ve studied...  How many is it?  I&#039;ve had 9 courses in physics and building related Physics from an engineering university.  And then I practiced it for 14 years.  When you get caught up, lemme know.  Until then, I see no point in discussing this subject with someone uneducated on such matters.

&lt;em&gt;And I checked my emails to find out how the heck you could find any one of them even remotely suggesting that which you accuse me of. Your quote above, â€œas the saying saysâ€¦ Letâ€™s find out.â€ didnâ€™t come from any email of mine.&lt;/em&gt;

Yes it did.  You also said that if you making comments like that bothered me to let you know.  You can pretend you didn&#039;t send it, but either you are lying or you deleted it and forgot.

&lt;em&gt;Several months ago you asked me about Shamanism. &lt;/em&gt;

No.  I asked you about &#039;pygmalion principal&#039; in here and you asked me to email you about it.  Afterward - YOU started with the religious stuff.  I didn&#039;t ask.

&lt;em&gt;For whatever reasons, you discontinued the discourse. &lt;/em&gt;

I told you why.  You turned it sexual.  You are married.  I wasn&#039;t going to give you any idea that I was even remotely open to you going there.

&lt;em&gt;Too bad. A shaman works with forces you donâ€™t believe in, both light and dark. &lt;/em&gt;

Apparently you are so good at it you&#039;re controlling this discourse...

&lt;em&gt;Your anger, hatred and bitterness are visible to me. &lt;/em&gt;

Then you are blind.  People who actually know me would laugh at you.  A lot.  That&#039;s ridiculous.  And just because you appointed yourself as an authority over irrational nonsense doesn&#039;t mean you are qualified to judge anyone else.

&lt;em&gt;The 105 Universal Laws apply to Athiests as well as Spiritualists. Too bad you wonâ€™t read them and understand.&lt;/em&gt;

Your sanctimony is beyond obnoxious.  The only thing that applies to me is reality.  

Just because you &#039;believe&#039;, it doesn&#039;t give you the right to condemn those who don&#039;t.  Which is hypocritical as you&#039;ve claimed to be open minded.  In fact, just last week you said exactly the opposite of what you are saying now.

I have a wonderful life.  So, for you to claim otherwise shows your don&#039;t have the first clue of what you are talking about.

&lt;em&gt;Your claims about me are as your name implies, Unbelievable. 
Comment by Briseadh na Faire â€” December 19, 2006 @ 5:20 pm&lt;/em&gt;

I made no claims...  I only spoke the truth and exposed you for the fraud you are.

And, in typical hysterical women fashion, it will be you the delusional defend now.  Totally predictable.

But there is an easy fix.  I&#039;m great at ignoring people.  Unless they insult me.  Take me upon it.</description>

		<description>I will only post an advice I would use for me if I were one of the arguing people here: 

Will my words help me and others in the thread to become better human beings and a society or they are just an expression of my bruised ego?</description>
