Does she look like Kim Petras? ;) Well... does she look like Kim Petras? :thumbsup: No. Of course it would. I like vaginas. A lot. (But, umm... does she look like Kim Petras?)

And yet you're attempting to have a meaningful discussion about a different topic you've not studied. No, I equate disagreeing with the accepted definition of GID with lacking sufficient understanding to have a reasonable conversation. GID is not feeling "more feminine" or "more masculine"...

Actually, it would seem from my responses that I don't believe you can contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way, due to your lack of knowledge. Could you have a meaningful discussion of code optimisation if you've never studied computer programming? Could you have a meaningful...

I did. Re-read what you said. You said they just need to play the part of the biology they were given. That's what books and universities are for. I already have a full-time job, and it isn't teaching. Your first classes for each of psychology, sociology, and human sexuality will be one...

It's not about feeling "more feminine than most men feel", it's about feeling "female". There's a big difference. So, essentially, you would tell someone with depression to just stop being depressed. Brilliant! It doesn't work for depression, or social anxiety, and it sure ain't gonna work for...

You clearly know very little about "drug deals" and the drug trade. The entire story sounds ludicrous. Or maybe I should ask the growers *I* know how often the Hells Angels or the mafia get involved! :P

Well, sure. Most of them don't do much serious research. They read the suttas and sutras, they read works by various meditation monks or scholar monks, and ultimately they end up siding with one of the common party lines. They'll debate the meaning of anattā 'til the cows come home, but...

It's true. The pagans have nothing. Well, I guess they do have eggs. And bunnies. But, like, other than that, I mean c'mon! Oh, and chocolate. In the shapes of eggs and bunnies. Yummy, yummy chocolate.... Mmmm... It's true. Seriously. A scientologist told me so. That's just ridiculous...

Just to make it easier, here's an excerpt: "'Other' does not mean a spiritual power or object external to your self, like a God, but the 'Other' refers to your true and real self shared by all things, the Oneness of life itself." Which seems to disagree with the excerpt I posted from the jodo...

This is from the jodo shu website (in contrast to jodo shinshu, the other japanese pure land school): "The Pure Land school established on this basis may be called the way of salvation by a "power outside of ourselves," or "other power" (i.e., the power of Amida Buddha)." FWIW.

Eudaimonist pretty much nailed it. And wikipedia is a good place for more info. Amitabha is sort of a "deified buddha", and unlike the historical buddha, arahants, and bodhisattvas, was likely never a real person. Pure Land is very much a christian-like form of buddhism, relying on faith and...

Ok, let's clear up a few things: First, as already mentioned, counting cards in your head is not illegal. Second, it's actually pretty easy to determine whether someone is counting cards or not. Third, a casino may or may not kick somebody out for winning "a lot" (which is rather subjective...

Yay! I'm not the only one! =D It's hard to not like the classics. ;)

Sounds like some folks need to learn what satan's role is in judaism.

I'm not sure to whom this is directed, since I don't think anybody has given advice on what to watch, but I'll assume you're referring to my post (correct me if I'm wrong). If that's the case, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not promoting any particular movie selections, and I am not giving...

One word of warning: When you watch the first one, have something around to keep yourself occupied for the half of the movie that nearly made me stop watching for fear of slipping into a permanent coma. It was that boring. Seriously. The beginning and the end of the movie are where the...

To a certain extent, this is true, but it only goes so far. There reaches a point where the violence and gore is so realistic and disturbing that most people do *not* want to watch it. Shock exploitation films (as opposed to slasher films) are notoriously good at making people very, very queasy...

Ugh. This conversation is ridiculous. Morality (good/evil, right/wrong) is not something that can be experienced, so this entire line of reasoning is moot.

How could I possibly speak authoritatively on behalf of god? I am not god. I do not presume to know his thoughts. I am not so arrogant as to believe I could ever speak authoritatively on his behalf.

You only say that because you're a minion of the devil.
