Still thinking GAHD?

I'm rather disturbed to hear that people listen to you when you talk such rubbish

What part of you exists?

What part of you is restrained?

What part of you is unaffected by causation?

'a butterfly flaps its wings...' this was said before chaos theory was formalised and is usually taken to mean something of that nature. what does it mean? are butterflies responsible for instances of freak weather? or does it mean that the consequences of one's actions cannot be determined with any accuracy?

it may plausibly be taken to mean that there is a chain of events in which all of the various links are not apparent (see determinism) or it may mean that that chains may have small and large links (see 'for the want of a nail...'), although the question of size is rather like your concern with who and what (similar to 'guest and host' in eastern thought).

you seem to have a very low opinion of mankind . i hope you don't get a good job .

perhaps you could get some cards with your rules printed on them and give them to people to prevent any misunderstandings that may arise should you deign to relate to them

i prefer sarcasm to punning, don't you ?

Always. Truth always causes fear. Yes(as in all). Yes(again, all). Seven. Consequences. Sise does matter. Yes. Been, Done, will do again. 1 Card, don't purposly hurt me. Punibility is god.


you stll hung up on those insignificant things? I'd hoped you'd have thaught more up by now.

Here's one, does the end justify the means, either physically, socially, or spirtually.

size doesn't matter - if you think it does you still must be hung up on things

the end does not justify the means

talk of the greater good etc are sops to immorality

although we all need to eat . there's a zen saying about it being inhuman not to scratch an itch.

maybe you hurt the people you relate to without realising it. maybe you realise and think they should put up with you (you are very important after all ).

punning is very poor imho.

imho? size does matter, naked man fighting naked grizzly bear, who'se going to win?

is the bear carrying a gun?

nakid, as in carrying nothing, wearing nothing, just a bunch of flesh piled onto a set of bones standing on some dirt.

could they stop fighting?

COULD they? yes.
anything COULD happen.
but for the sake of this conversation, let's say that theay WON'T because of(insert reason that would work in both a man's and a bear's mind).
And, yes I'd like a reason for your answer.

what a shame

if they could they'd both win

so the bear loses

oh dear

mmmm bear steak....

reason? you must have studied greek thought! what reason?

mmmmmm.....

*sigh* and why would the man win? bears are bigger, stronger, faster, and far more to win in a naked fight.

more intelligent?

anyway, what does fighting bears have to do with zen?

what does it carrying a gun have to do with zen?

point was, size does matter. Yikes, talks about zen, but doesn't even know what the classic battlew has to do with it.
If the bear wins, it's because he's biger, stronger, and faster. If the man wins, it's because his brain's bigger.
Size does matter.
