I hitch-hiked to Lynchburg, Tennessee when I was 19; because two people told me they'd give me a free quart.
When I got to Lynchburg a State Trooper, stopped and asked me for my ID. When I told him I didn't have any,he said, "Ye mean ya ain't got a billfold or nuthin'?
Then he said, "Nuthin' personal, we do this to all the hitch-hikers," and took me to the jail, where they searched me and ran warrant checks on me.
I didn't have any warrants; so they let me take a shower, and had the trustee cook me up 4 eggs, with bacon, potatoes, and coffee: then they pointed me to the distillery.
I got there just in time for lunch: which was home cooked, and real good! Everybody had dishes of food by them; and the lady of the house said, "To avoid confusion, everybody just pass to the left."
It was real good food; and everybody soon began talking like we were family, and always knew eachother.
So I, we went into the holy of holy's, and that's when I heard the most horrible thing I could imagine... The tour guide said, " Contrary to popular belief, we do not serve Jack Daniels at the Jack Daniels Distillery; but we do have sping water, and lemonade."
Lynchburg is in a dry county; and you can't even buy Jack Daniel's in it!
Well, everybody tried the spring water, and lemonade; and we ended up in front of a statue of Jack, getting a group picture.
For years Jack Daniel's sent me nice limited edition artwork, which 'd probably be worth something if I saved it.
I recently sent a friend there; and she had pretty much as good time as I did; but she didn't get a tour of the jail.
I only have one complaint about Jack Daniel's... the caps on their bottels leak!
For all that class, they should put better caps on the bottels.
In Port Aransas, Texas, I ran into one of the guys who told me he grew up in Lynchburg, and got a free quart of Jack everyday; and his grandaddy brushed his teeth with Jack Daniels too... I punched him in the face.
US couldn't beat North Korea, before they could land a nuclear missile in California.
What makes you think anybody would win a war between America and North Korea?
North and South Korea were just proxy's for China and US. We can't fight N. Korea, China I've N. Korea, China over Japan, the Philippines, and over Viet Nam.
Russia over Ukraine, Syria, Russia over Syria, Iran, Russia over Iran, etc. etc. at the same time.
The Philippines are already jumping ship. Brazil and Britan, West Europe, and Australia aren't far behind them.
They're all dependant on Russia and/or China for their economies.
Without firing a shot, Russia could shut of gas to West Europe; and China could flood the market with trillions of our dollars.
Commies have us surrounded; and they helped Trump get elected.
Read, The Art of War, by Lao Tzu.
The US is in no position to win a war.
We already lost; and we're paying tribute: that's why China and Russia always veto our votes at the United Nations.
As far as I know, it's original: so it's not too old.
It may be older; but we maxxed out a whole thread here; and some pretty intelligent people eventually developed a mutual respect with me over that thread, and finally concede it can't be done.
You were just realizing what an exercise in futility it'd be for you to even attempt to prove you're an "atheist."
But, just going by your own admission, you can't even claim you know for sure what you were thinking about.
If I said you were thinking about coffee, you'd claim you were thinking about tea.
If I said you were thinking about tea, you'd say you were thinking about coffee.
If you had coffee or tea, it was only because you forgot what you were thinking about while you were re-reading your last post.
Since coffee and tea had nothing to do with the post you directed towards me, or my response to your post....
I think you're too confused to prove you're an "atheist;" and so lost by the realization that you can't prove it, you just want mommy's breast again: but you'd settle for a warm drink on your lips to remind you of being held by your mommy, when all you had to think about was the warm feeling in your diaper.
With you being so confused about what thoughts are lost in the space between your ears...
I'm not going to bother trying to prove anything to you, until you can keep your wandering mind on track long enough to try proving "atheists" exist and/or that you're an "atheist."
My reason for asking is because according the Upanishads, if the Dahli Lama was enlightened or reached the state of Brahman, he wouldn't be born on earth again.
I just heard on the radio yesterday that the Dahli Lama said he'll be born again on earth, and won't be overcoming his bad karma in this lifetime.
Adhyatma Upanishads
42-45 When the modifications of the mind are repressed, it (the mind) verily obtains peace. Just as the actions of the people cease with the stopping of the fluctuations of the sun (viz., with sunset), so when the fluctuations of the mind cease, this cycle of births and deaths comes to an end.
48. He who has realized the truth of Brahman no longer transmigrates, as hitherto; if he does, this truth has not been realized by him; he is but an extrovert.
This song has a deceptively happy beat while he prays for something he'd be better off without...
"In the twighlight, in the evening, in the dark and black night, I met Delilah, she kissed me.
I love Delilah, father get her for me.
Father I love Delilah, I pray thee get her for me."
There's a lot more to it.
He ends up with the woman of he prayed for, cheated and fooled by all kinds of men for trusting the wrong woman, his hair cut off by a strange man while he slept peacefully on her lap, having his eyes blinded, tormented in misery: and at the end, only praying to be avenged for his blind eyes.
I recently talked to a woman who changed her profile/age, getting younger each year, without changing her profile picture for at least 10 years.
She probably forgot that she invited me to her house 10 years ago, and told me about the losers she met who moved in on her, and the lousy dates she's had, when she claimed she's new here, and hasn't met anybody since she joined the site "recently", when she wrote me last month.
If it wasn't for the fact I busted her lying, about her age, her picture, and claiming she never met anybody here... I was planning a trip to see her.
I just called her a scammer, and stopped writing her.
The president has threatened military action against two countries this week, with no plans to back it up.
By Fred Kaplan April 6 2017 1:52 PM This week, Donald Trump is getting a taste of what it’s really like to be president, and his responses have bolstered what his opponents said about him in the Republican primaries and the general election—that he’s temperamentally unsuited for the job. Suddenly Trump is facing crises in Syria and North Korea, two of the most intractable problem countries on the planet, and he has taken the worst of all possible paths on both—threatening military action, even unilateral military action, without having a shred of a plan in his pocket.
Trump maintained his position of no intervention during the presidential campaign, even disagreeing with Mike Pence, his running mate, on the topic during the second presidential debate

Trump’s stance at the time? He was firmly in the “stay out of Syria” camp. As The New York Times noted, he tweeted more than a dozen times about Syria in 2013, urging Obama not to take action. Through Trump’s prolific use of Twitter, he advised Obama to “forget Syria,” to “NOT attack Syria” and to “stay out of Syria.”
TRUMP: Syria chemical-weapons attack crossed 'beyond a red line,' and my attitude has changed Pamela Engel Apr 5, 2017, 2:14 PM ET Donald Trump Reuters President Donald Trump speaking about the gas attack in Syria. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the recent chemical attack in Syria crossed "beyond a red line" and changed his mind about Bashar Assad, the ruthless Syrian president, whom Trump had previously suggested could stay in power.
When asked during a press conference with King Abdullah II of Jordan whether the gas attack crossed a "red line," Trump said it "crossed a lot of lines" for him. The attack on Tuesday on a rebel-held town in northwest Syria killed at least 70 people.
"When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was," Trump said, "that crosses many, many lines. Beyond a red line."
Trump later said he was a "flexible person" and was capable of changing his opinions on issues.
