For everyone ( please read ) (58)
I understand what you are saying. You presented your reasons for writing the threads that you do.
In your opinion, your choice is very grounded.
People's criticism is at your choice and tone. Based upon their own experiences and perception, they may feel there is a hidden message or agenda.
They are allowed those thoughts just as much as you are yours.
What you need to realize is, is that their objection is in your choosing to voice them as you do.
The tone, words and content reveal that you are offended and are defensive.
And you may have justification for that too...
We, all, like to think that our decision is correct and the right one.
But sometimes, we may be missing something that our judgement has clouded over...

I find it interesting when people ask me questions and I answer their questions.
But..
When I ask them questions or just 1 question and they refuse or avoid to answer but they still keep commenting or even asking more questions.

I know what you are referring to. And this is a perfect example!But..
When I ask them questions or just 1 question and they refuse or avoid to answer but they still keep commenting or even asking more questions.
I know that you answered my question.
And I know that you wrote on a different thread that you had asked me a question on a different thread.
And I know that I didn't answer it ... as you've referenced it twice now.
But honestly, do you know "Why" I haven't answered it? Do you know what my life is like and the choices I make on how to spend my limited time? Do you know that I actually did try to find your question - but couldn't - in the limited time I am on-line?? Do you know that I'm dealing with the accident and sudden death of a family member??
The word used - "Interesting" - reveals your tone... And I could easily find it offensive. But I don't because of my strong character.
My time is up.

Its an international public forum and every single member has different mind-set, often people tear into me for expressing my Buddhist views, some delete my post because they hate other member expressing a different view-point than there own.
In my opinion window shopping religion, philosophy or politics indicates the poster is likely suffering confusion in mind and that leads one observe rather than respond as the poster probably needs to reconsider his/her own thinking process.

The particular profession or job you do is not the most important factor. My job is to be Karmapa, and that is a pretty tough job-tough to do, and even tough to describe. In the space for occupation in a passport, what should I write? Reciter or prayers? That's too narrow. Tree planter? That sounds strange. Cook? I don't know how to cook, so that is out. I guess I am many things and nothing, but the main point is not what you do, but how you do it.
What ever work you do, you have to give yourself opportunities to just be. Even if it is only once a day, you should find a moment to just be yourself in the course of each day. This could be through a short period of meditation or quiet reflection in the morning or in the evening, or in whatever way best suits you. The point is to reconnect with yourself. Otherwise, the whole day you are running around and busy, and it is easy to lose yourself. To guard against this, you should make efforts to return to yourself and recollect what is essential for you.
Letting your job drive you can become dehumanizing. I have some acquaintances who work in factories, and they have to calibrate themselves to the machines. In their jobs too, people adjust the rhythm of their lives to the rhythm of their jobs. This is deeply distressing. It is an extreme of the dangers of making ourselves part of an economic system that treats people like machines.
Such examples might make it seem attractive to drop out of the system and seek some alternatives. Yet for those of us who feel a deep commitment to changing a particular system, or contributing to shaping our world for the better, there are some other factors to consider. While there may be exceptions, when we choose to move outside of a system, this often amounts to little more than running away-even when we leave with the idea that we will oppose the system from outside. It easily becomes like discarding something we do not like, instead of trying to repair or modify it. We see examples of people who leave one system and then the next, creating a pattern of escape. This is not an effective way to reform the system. In order to bring change, though it may be difficult, working within the system can have a far greater effect.

So don't throw that in my face and use it as emotional blackmail.
But it's ok.

In that time you posted a lot of replies and created threads.

Seriously it's fine !
Just say so and admit there is absolutely no need to lie or to use emotional blackmail.

Theway I want to say one thing that I wouldn't ever give others that much power to decide what you choose to write about cause there should are enough catagories to write about too.
------ This thread is Archived ------
I find all sorts of topics interesting....its always nice to have good healthy debate that discusses the topic and not the people....some topics I will get bored of if they are repetitive cause there really isn't anything new to say.......
------ This thread is Archived ------
Some people on here say I shouldn't write about religion or politics or history. I like and enjoy reading about history, religion and politics. It interests me and I enjoy learning and finding out new things.
I like information. I want to know and find out how things work and why they are the way there. I like history...Knowing what happened.
I also don't like it when people refuse to read the information I provided but still comment on the topic without knowing anything about it. Especially if they come up with their own "truth" even though all the FACTS and EVIDENCE is right there. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it's based on fairytales.
I don't mind different opinions but....too much is too much. Because it's so far from the truth or/and plain stupidity.
Of the two, I MUCH PREFER questions that can't be answered, over answers that can't be questioned! I commend your interest in knowing! Learning is the constant job, of ALL peoples. Or SHOULD be! But I have one problem with the whole concept of "knowing".The ONLY "knowledge" I think I possess is in mathematics. And the ONLY REASON I THINK I have any mathematical knowledge is because I'm familiar with most of the DEFINITIONS, of mathematics. You say you enjoy history. My question is WHAT "HISTORY" do you "KNOW"? I read history because i enjoy reading it, too. But I learned early on, that different people describe the events of "history", differently! Even eyewitnesses often give widely different "views" of what happened, in what order, and why. You can pick and choose amongst "histories", much like you can pick and choose from a variety of cloths! To suit YOUR taste! OR perspective. What you're really describing is your choice of "belief"! NOT "history"! Religion and politics are the two topics it is advised that should not be discussed, in polite company. That's NOT because they are unimportant topics, but because they are so divisive. I hold "beliefs" in both arenas, but I prefer not to get involved in discussions of either, because I KNOW MY beliefs will most likely offend others. So I see nothing to be gained in discussing them, in general conversation.
You say you "DON'T LIKE it when people refuse to read the information I provided but still comment on the topic without knowing anything about it." #1. HOW DO YOU KNOW they didn't/don't read it? #2. What gives you the RIGHT TO PRESUME THEY DON'T "KNOW" ANYTHING about it? And, "Especially if they come up with their own "truth" even though all the FACTS and EVIDENCE is right there." Again, isn't saying that you're presenting ALL the "true" FACTS/EVIDENCE being just a BIT presumptuous? I DOUBT that ANYBODY is familiar with ALL the information written, about ANYTHING! And, even IF they were, THEIR presentation of "facts/evidence" is, I'm inclined to believe, more a matter of THEIR "BELIEFS" about the subject, than "facts/evidence", in truth! "Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it's based on fairytales." But you OBVIOUSLY haven't learned that one man's truth is another man's fairytale! And his fairytale is another's truth! What IS common "knowledge", today, is OFTEN tomorrow's fairytale! What gives YOU the RIGHT to think that YOU are the sole arbiter of truth/knowledge? By making such a statement, all you're saying is that you have a CLOSED mind, on the topic! And, since YOU state that "everyone is entitled to their own opinion", can I inquire as to your purpose in trying to censor their expression of THEIR "opinion", with your included complains thereon, in this argument of yours? Or is it just that you feel YOUR "opinions" SHOULD take precedence, over theirs? I'll admit that "I" KNOW very little! But, in MY experience, "KNOWING" something IS the biggest block to LEARNING ANYTHING about a subject! MAYBE, IT you "knew" a little LESS, you MIGHT BE ABLE to LEARN a little more!

"emotional blackmail"? 
I GUESS you COULD view it that way, IF you chose to. But I SERIOUSLY DOUBT you're going to get ANYBODY, HERE, that would agree that Kaylana would EVER consciously try to "impose" her, or ANY opinion, on ANYBODY! She's one of the 2 or 3 MOST open, honest and above board posters on the forums! I THINK you owe her an apology!

I got.....
"I'm going through a lot right now!
You have no idea what's going on in my personal life...."
I don't know about you or anyone else but comparing how she reacts to me and to others I call that emotional blackmail.
You can have a look for yourself?

Not answering my question....
If you don't want to answer that's fine.... But don't use emotional blackmail and don't say you hadn't had time ( in 12 days?!?! ) Or some other excuse when it would take anyone a maximum of 5 minutes to answer.

Very nice!
You are very kind and thoughtful.
So you agree with... That it's not the chrestians that are the problem but the ideology of chrestianity and the Boble.
Just like you agreed with lee that it isn't the people but the ideology.
"You are correct that it is the ideology that is the problem - and not the people! "

As Robplum pointed out, sometimes when people don't respond they might be thinking over some uncertainties they may have. Which in this case, was quite true.
In fact, if you have read all of my thread responses, you will see that I did express my beliefs on this topic. I wrote about how the "Christians" of the Crusades were not practicing the faith and ideals of the original followers of the disciples. In contrast, most people believe that the radical group within Islam is not a true reflection of the majority of those who adhere to that faith. A minority does not reflect the majority.
Now, regarding my choice of how and to whom I choose to respond with, please refer to the posts I have made (and plan to make) on my thread on making choices.

#1. It's NOT "MY" issue! I'm NOT the one that didn't answer you! #2. I've been reading Kaylana's posts in the forums for approximately a year, now. And I've NEVER ONCE read an insensitive, unthoughtful, or disrespectful post, from/by her. Her replies are well stated, well considered, and ALWAYS "positive"! IF she chooses to respond, or not respond, to you, I have 999% faith that Kaylana HAS a reason for doing so! And I DON'T FEEL that you have a right to question those reasons! And I ACTUALLY FEEL that you ARE "emotionally blackmailing" HER, into replying to you, in/by YOUR response! Which is WHY I said that "I" FELT you owed her an apology!As far as my NOT commenting on the "actual" issue, MY issue was your (IMO) DISRESPECTFUL treatment of one of the BEST, MOST POSITIVE contributors, on/to the forums! Your PRESUMPTION to tell another poster WHAT, or WHAT NOT, they ought to do! Since WHEN were YOU appointed God/monitor of the forums?
It is NOT your place to instruct another member of the forums on what they should do, or when/what they should say/respond. And IF you wish to continue raising this issue, with ME, I can ALMOST CERTAINLY guarantee that you WON'T "appreciate" the results! But, PLEASE! DO as you wish! I DON'T WISH to impede your folly! I haven't been in a fight for days! And people, here, WILL tell you that I LIKE to "fight", if you'll only ask them!

That's fine.
I'm not telling anyone what to do.
I said several times
If you want answer if not don't.
It's not my fault that she can fool you with her "intelligent" and "thoughtful" posts but not me.
The reason I asked that question is to show the hypocrisy.
By not answering for 12 days and then answering today the way she did confirms her hypocrisy.
What can I do if you don't see it.
How many times do I need to spell it out and show it?
Ok....
Forget about me...
I'm terrible and biased and have a hidden agenda and all that.
Just comment on that 1 question I asked(maybe you can answer it) and her answer.

"It's NOT "MY" issue! I'm NOT the one that didn't answer you! "
For someone who says... It's not my issue.....
You sure comment about it a lot.
And would you believe if I said that I find your comments about this "issue" completely biased.

I like and enjoy reading about history, religion and politics. It interests me and I enjoy learning and finding out new things.

Here is subject mater you might like reading about the life and times of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa who will be standing in for HH Dalai lama as his holiness transits from this life.
His Holiness the 17th Karmapa:
The Tibetan translator Marpa (1012-1097) learned in India from both Naropa and Maitripa and brought all these transmissions back to Tibet, mastered them and transmitted them to, among others, his disciple Milarepa (1052-1135). With the latter’s student Gampopa (1079-1153), the Kagyu school branched off into a number of subschools, a major one being the Karma Kagyu lineage which was named after its founder, the first Karmapa Dusum Khyenpa (1110-1193).

"In fact, if you have read all of my thread responses, you will see that I did express my beliefs on this topic. I wrote about how the "Christians" of the Crusades were not practicing the faith and ideals of the original followers of the disciples. In contrast, most people believe that the radical group within Islam is not a true reflection of the majority of those who adhere to that faith. A minority does not reflect the majority"

#1. You TRY to present yourself as an erudite, reasonable man, Way! But you make me WONDER about that! A man that CONTINUALLY misspells "Christianity", "Bible", and even his own people's religion, "Muslim", when the CORRECT spelling IS shown to him, repeatedly, does NOT have the appearance of erudition OR intelligence, to ME! I don't know HOW the Dutch spell those words, but, since you're writing your comments/posts in English, I DON'T THINK it matters!You HAVEN'T asked ME, but "I" DISAGREE with Kaylana! "I" think the "problems" lay in BOTH the ideology AND the people! BOTH Christianity/Christians, AND Islam/Muslims! I have a problem with the fanatics/fanaticism on BOTH sides! But then, as I said before, I have a problem with people that "KNOW" THEY "KNOW"! Of which, you're convincing ME you ARE one of them!
Kaylana's response to you IS/WAS PERFECTLY straight forward and reasonable! If you CHOOSE to NOT "see" it THAT way, then that's YOUR problem! And you TRYING to make it HERS, by way/means of debating "tricks", is NOT worthy of respect! Kaylana gives considered, respectful and reasonable replies! She DOESN'T resort to propaganda techniques, or pejoratives! But that DOESN'T hold true, with ME! So, IF you insist on continuing this line of "attack", take it up with me! IF you refuse to respect Kaylana, I'll START disrespecting YOU, in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, you're treating her!
Now, it's 2:30 AM, my time, so I'm going to leave you to think it over. It's your choice. You can either accept Kaylana's response, or not. But IF you keep denigrating her/it, I'll take it up with you, tomorrow! So consider your position well.

She didn't.
You did make some very interesting assumptions in your comment....
But yes talk about that tomorrow.
Thanks for giving a straightforward answer to my question.
Finally!! After 12 days...or 13 days by now
even though I didn't ask you (originally) but I did ask you today and you answered ( had to push a bit but nothing compared to kaylana) so thanks for answering.
Goodnight.

I like and enjoy reading about history, religion and politics. It interests me and I enjoy learning and finding out new things.
I like knowing and reading about historical events and how it's connected to the beliefs and cultures of that time.
I have read a lot religious texts from all religions from all over the world and from different periods in history.
Why?
Because it interests me and I like reading about it.
Maybe it's hard to believe for some people or even most people...but this is fun for me.
I like information. I want to know and find out how things work and why they are the way there.
I like history...
Knowing what happened.
Investigating or researching why it happened. What caused it to happen?
Did the religion or culture or economical situation or something or anything else influence it? If it did...why ?
Would things have been different if.....
Again...I enjoy all that and it's fun for me.
When people comment on these topics I find it interesting to read what they say about it.
Especially when they are things I did not know.
I really like it when people comment on the topic(s) with new and original insights.
What I don't like...
Is when certain people say I shouldn't write about it.
?????
It's a free world.
There is something called free speech.
If you don't like it don't read it.
If you don't like it don't comment on it.
I don't go around the blog or forum searching for topics I don't like and then commenting on it.
Yes, it sounds ridiculous but some people actually do this.
I also don't like it when people refuse to read the information I provided but still comment on the topic without knowing anything about it.
Especially if they come up with their own "truth" even though all the FACTS and EVIDENCE is right there.
Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it's based on fairytales.
When I would say how beautiful and majestic the Earth looks from space.
How it makes you feel part of the universe, part of something "more".
You can feel and sense you are part of something so eternal but you can't truly comprehend it.
I would like to read other people's thoughts,views and emotions about it.
NOT....
The earth is flat... photos are fake!
This topic sucks ! Go away !
I don't mind different opinions but....
too much is too much.
Because it's so far from the truth or/and plain stupidity.
It ruins what I find fun and interesting.
It ruins the mood.
It ruins the possibility of sharing thoughts,ideas and emotions.
Thank you for reading.
