Anyway, WHAT IS THAT DEEP BLUE GOD CAME FROM?
--------------------------------------------------------------
THE TIBETAN MONKEY SAYS
"Somebody has to ask the deep questions"
"Is God an octopus that came out of the blue?"
Spanish Braised Octopus in Paprika Sauce
This is a very simple recipe once you have prepped your octopus for
finishing -- instructions are linked below. Basically you braise the
octopus in its own juices, then cut it into pieces and dress it with a
paprika-garlic sauce when it is still warm. This is a variant of a
Spanish recipe known as "a la gallega." Any size octopus will work with
this recipe, which serves 4 as a starter or tapas.
Prep Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1-2 pounds octopus
* 1/2 t. salt
* 1 t. black pepper
* 3 chopped garlic cloves
* 1 T. sweet paprika
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 2-3 lemons
Preparation:
Braise your octopus as directed in the instructions below.
Meanwhile, put the salt, pepper, paprika and garlic in a mortar and
pound it until it is a paste. Slowly add the olive oil, stirring and
mashing all the while. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you could
use a food processor, but the texture will be different.
When the octopus is tender and still warm, cut into chunks, put into a
large bowl and toss with the sauce. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into
the bowl and toss to combine.
Serve warm or at room temperature with slices of lemon.

God is an idea, not a physical presence. He is spirit, not flesh.
If you are going to deny His existence, you ought to at least know
what you are denying.
Religion is the octopus.

Maybe God is just an idea. Difficult to understand in the physical
world, say, like the unicorn.
The question though is where he came from.
No offense brother... but are you completely insane?
Human imagination. Just like the unicorn.
He is only monkeying around.

Have some respect for the sacred Mother Earth you die cunt. (big smile)
Only half. But I like to tease God too. ;)
Good way to put it.
But I think Christians like to take us for a ride too.
I knew I was inspired somewhere. It looks like an octopus to me.
There are many mysteries out there...
Can anyone answer why octopuses have some many arms/legs? Are they
arms or legs?
I think the Pope is an entrepreneur who knows he got a good product in
his hands (Jesus).
You said it, brother. Christian materialism is alarming to the species
and other species.
Ok... as long as I know where you stand. I have nothing against you
and have only read your msg headers... But I am not sure where you
stand on the whole issue of christianity. Are you a devout christian
trying to get you point across thru hundreds of confusing emails or
are you an athiest just toying around?
I'm a spiritual person, inclined to nature, and very much opposed to
organized religion because of its lack of wisdom in those areas.
Otherwise you may count me among the Tibetan monks until you bump into
the funny idea of Karma. I love vegetarianism & peace.

Ok, but we were talking about the mystery of why the universe(s)
exists ultimately.
(that one gets the scientists!)
Why bother huh?!
..they at this point would usually compartmentalise (oh thats an issue
for the philososphers not us)...or they would start gabbling about
entropy/small particles etc etc...ar ar ar ar, shut up fool. Why do
the small particles exist?...etc etc. They analyse into insanity!
GOD IS GREAT!
...I would say that money business is big aspect for their (masonic)
paradigm.
Karma, god, hell, heaven, are all just terms fabricated by human
brains.
They all don't exist.

This does not get the scientists at all when all the work are
continuing.
But, for theist like you, you have a god, you still do not know
anything about the unknown.
Why is that?

Stupid statement.
If there is a god, what is stopping you from knowing everything?
Such is the retarded brain.

Shut the fuck up and think...outside the box: Why bother? Why does the
universe bother to exist? There is no rational ('western' type)
'scientific' explanation.
I do know quite a lot on this matter as it goes, western mentality
egoiser.
> Such is the retarded brain.
Stop projecting.
...a jungle made with seriously evil intent by ritual abuse, an intent
which also, by the way, makes these skitzed out western wankers that
are heading towards self destruction due to their (programmed) lack of
awareness/respect for the living Mother Earth. Thats being a bit
harsh. Even western science now has proved beyond all reasonable doubt
that it is a dangerous physcopath towards the planet earth:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/
Have respect or die sucker ;)
..in a sense they are human inventions...or at least the human mind
alters the dream/mind/mechanism. All these concepts and magical
traditions (real religion is about the occult/religion/magic) are
true. There is not one religious truth. In a sense they don't exist
because all is illusion ultimately perhaps - but you don't mean it
that way, where you're coming from is from a materialistic anti occult/
anti magic cult that must sustain (win)...ego perhaps..the
materialsistic 'western' skitz must sustain (continue to exist)! Well
now look here sucker. You fucking fail. Have respect for the living
Mother Earth or die:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/
..And quite frankly creeps, I couldn't give a fuck. You people piss me
off. Egoising cunts.
The jungle (fear, hierarchy) is created by the hungry predators for
the unaware monkeys (aka the sheep) to fall in the trap.
Buying an SUV (basically a "jungle vehicle") is such a way to feed the
predators (corporations that make such behemoths) in order to be king
of the road.
I get it. The universe is so great and exists only because God created
it that away.
Which brings me to the next set of questions.
Why does God bother to exists? And who created God?
And if you are content with the idea of God why cannot I do the same
with the universe as it is?
At least this does not require a God whose existence is impossible to
confirm or deny (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell's_teapot).

Mr. 2 Cents
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong
enough to take everything you have".
-Gerald Ford
Hey Magic, we seem to be on the same side of the issue, and yet we
interpret it differently.
What's dooming the West is NOT the rational mind of the scientists,
but the reckless abandon of those who ignore the warnings of science
and keep driving an SUV in "automatic pilot." Eastern philosophies are
more spiritual in that sense, but don't have the power to stop Western
materialism (see China & India).
Now, who are those who ignore scientists if not the Christian sheep? I
just want to meet a man who believes in science that denies what
science is projecting into the future. I haven't met many.
The both get my...
I don't have much faith in China or India being any friendlier to the
environment than the West. China is gearing up to produce automobiles
for the export market, borrowing heavily from Japanese production and
design techniques. The Economist expects Chinese automobile factories
to be as state of the art as the product they eventually produce, and
therefore quite competitive. The US will of course slap heavy tariffs
on them to keep the UAW campaign dollars flowing into their election
coffers.
I'm too lazy to find the Economist article, but here's a recent blurb on
the Chinese auto industry:
http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2010-04/does-future-car-live-china
Now, to its credit, the Chinese have been making noises about becoming
more "green" in their own domestic energy production, but I suspect that
this is more political than practical -- BP and ExxonMobil have been
hyping their renewable energy research for years, but have made very
little progress in my estimation. The simple fact is, fossil fuels are
too cheap and too readily available at the moment to make it
economically viable for emerging economies like China, or struggling 1st
World economies like the US, to abandon any time in the near future.
This is why Kyoto is moribund, and why the Copenhagen AGW summit
accomplished all but nothing. My opinion is that climate engineering is
going to be the most overall cost-effective means to combat climate
change. It has a strong backing by some climate scientists, but is
politically very unpopular on the left -- unrealistically so, I might add.
IMHO, that is. I am still learning.

Nice...
God receives my one finger up, instead of two thumbs down.
I hope you know what I mean.
Well, this question of climate engineering got the monkey curious and
here's some article on the subject...
My wise opinion? I believe before it comes to that we should start
with the common sense approach: bicycles, public transportation,
bullet trains... I believe in science, but science fiction is beyond
my simian brain.
You mention China & India, but Japan didn't go that way. I think the
Japanese are smarter, except for making SUVs for America. My sources
tell me cyclists ride on sidewalks though, and that's very
uncivilized. But their approach to public transportation is first
class. I don't think they want to be B-I-G like America.
The proposals in that article are sketchy at best. The serious science seems to
be putting its money on solar radiation management:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_management
The most cost effective way proposed to do this seems to be via stratospheric
sulphate aerosols:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_sulfur_aerosols_(geoengineering)
A pretty reasonable discussion from a climate expert on such strategies is here:
http://blog.ted.com/2007/11/david_keith.php
It's a bit dated, 2-1/2 years old now, but his arguments are balanced and
compelling. I consider it highly unlikely that CO2 management will ever be
vaible in the near to mid term from a global economic or political
perspective -- it simply will cost too much more than the market will bear even
though it's likely the most optimal solution. Assuming we haven't nuked
ourselves dead by then, the only way CO2 levels will come down is when we start
to seriously run out of fossil fuels. Oil will go first, but there is an awful
lot of damn coal left in the ground, and energy companies are far busier trying
to figure out how to turn that into liquid than they are trying to figure out
how to grow biodiesel.
Capitalism has its strong points. This is not one of them.
>My wise opinion? I believe before it comes to that we should start

>bullet trains...
I for one agree with you. I've been many places where excellent public
transportation is by far the best way to get around. But my fat American ass
hasn't ridden a bicycle in years, and in this country it is tantamount to
suicide, as well as being utterly impractical in most cities I'm familiar with.
The car culture here simply just isn't going to go away any time soon here. The
most economically viable thing to do is find a way to run the damn things in a
carbon neutral manner, but it ain't gonna happen until petroleum prices sustain
much higher levels than at present.
>I believe in science, but science fiction is beyond
>my simian brain.
You read a bad article. The links I gave you are far more grounded.
>You mention China & India, but Japan didn't go that way. I think the

I do give credit to the Japanese for being very smart about quite a number of
things ... the '90s economic meltdown there notwithstanding. Hopefully they've
learned their lessons on that score.
Here are 2005 C02 emissions in tonnes/person:
US 23.5
UK 10.6
Japan 10.5
Here are 2005 net food imports in millions of USD:
US 7,424
UK 11,069
Japan 13,911
On a per capita basis, Japan has 4 times higher net agricultural imports than
the US. The UK has 8 times higher net agricultural imports than the US.
In the US, agriculture accounts for about 9% of our greenhouse gas emissions. I
can't find the numbers for UK or Japan, but I haven't looked very hard either.
But maybe you can see where I'm going with my math here.

Oh brother, these debates are leading to some serious stuff. I hope
all the world leaders are following us... ;)
Anyway, I should start with this issue, whether we believe or not: We
are going to have to do like Jesus and ride a donkey or something...
Actually we can make the campaign sound catchy such as: GET ON YOUR
ASS AND CHANGE THE WORLD!
As you say, our roads are SAVAGE & INTIMIDATING, but if we provide a
safe area for bikes many people will actually get on their ass and do
something!
This is PLAN A (PREVENTION) and then PLAN B (HIGH TECH) comes when we
have the money to make those technologies feasible. Bush spoke those
alternative vehicles that never seem to come. "Pie in the sky" like
God.
Putting America on a diet and being frugal like Japan & Germany is
feasible, though not likely.

Play it safe, Hichikuru, just play it safe. We are too many monkeys
overcrowding this tiny planet, and then the SUVs came to add the
dinosaurs to the problem.
Tell me why we are in the cage intimidated to go out on a bicycle and
enjoy the sun and the moon.
Neither, they're tenticles.
By the way, how many testicles the octopus has?
The female is called the octupussy, right?
