I realize that some people have no idea what Russians are doing in Ukraine.
They came to stop the war, and this makes sense. Ok, but how the FakeNews
media explain the opposite point of view?
Must be some reasonable explanation. Right? As far as I familiar with our media
they only yelding - killers, liars, rapers, cannibals, white lives
matter... etc. Last 20+ years this is as traditional as sunrise every day.
Nothing new.
But what was a reason? How do they explain Russian goals in Ukraine?
Ned, your turn, as you support the Free World. You criticize me all the time,
but don't propose anything instead. Come on, sir.

The only failure that I can see (in that magnificent painting
of Ned Supporting the Free World) is that he doesn't have
any genitals.

This is doubly remarkable in light of the fact that he is
crouching amid seven scorchingly hot babes (four of whom
are erotically embracing as if frustrated by having to wait
for him to be available to them).

I'll tell you, Ned is getting tired of this. Supporting the
free world is no easy matter. Yeah, the chicks are fine, but
the free world is just getting bigger and bigger because of
all the fucking the that world is doing, of which Ned is getting
a niggardly portion because of all the support work he is
required to do.

This shit has got to cease! The only solution is for the
world to embrace Malthus Day! - the deliberate reduction
of world population by mailing out Malthus Day cards (with
attached condoms) on every Feb. 13th, in the hopes that
sanity will prevail, and sperms will be curtailed, and peace
will be availed, and war will be derailed, and tyrants be
assailed, and all the bad guys nailed, and evil doings derailed,
so none will ever bewail, and heaven be unveiled.

I can't believe it's you, Daryl. Rapping. Daryl rapping. You

But only because I hate rap. Almost as much as puns. I really
couldn't decide which I hate more, between the two.

But you've redeemed all your lost estimation by supporting
my Malthus Day cards. Truly, you have left the muses gape-jawed
with your rhyming of 'Malthus' with 'baby juice'.

Orpheus is confounded. Apollo stands mute and gobsmacked.

Russians are in Ukraine to thumb their nose at the clones of Hilary
Clinton that are saber rattling concerning what they see as
Russia's illegal annexation of the Crimea.

Or is it because the sea of AZOV and crimean are so full of natural gas
and oil, it's a prize Puting didn't want to share with the Ukrainians?

Or again, the official line has to do with Banderistas in gov't
that want to de-russify the country, making everyone fill out gov't
forms in Ukrainian, have to speak it when addressing post office
workers, etc. and definitely, ban tyhe teaching of Russian language and
culture in schools.

Daryl, I got my bot to do your rap song! And she's such a

Ah!
Thanks you for the attempt. Hillary Clinton is normally known in Russia as
"Clinton's wife". I see. This makes sense.
If the reason you mentioned is correct, then we deal with so called "hysteria" -
women's sex related mental illness. Really, what I see on american TV is
similar to hysteria symptoms. (Check medical sources)
This is similar to truth, liaM. If I was her husband, I would prefer Monica
too. Any guy would. If this version is correct, then Bill Clinton is a real reason
of Ukrainian war, not Putin. I swear, I never heard this explanation.

What about other reasons, they look weak. Any coutry has enough gas and oil
in that region. Russia has more than others. This will be enough for next
few centuries.

Language quiestion is important, same as in Texas or California. But this
reason is weak anyway. I cannot imagine that Mexico invades the USA to help
local people to use Spanish.

I would believe that Clinton's wife might really be related to this
war. Women sick with a hysteria can destroy her family. Sick woman with a such
power can destroy the World.
This is really good reason.

War being a cultural artifact, there's no reason waging war can't be
legislated a criminal offense. Ditto for manufacturing weapons
of war.

we'll see if humanity swings in that direction, and where the
impetus for doing the thing comes from. Alas, to me, the US, UK,
Israel, France, being the world's arm merchants, it won't be them that
does the deed. Could China finally come out on top, along with
India and east asian countries, and force the recalcitrant criminals
of the west to own up the fact they have for centuries been fucking

Absolutely. First you need an overreaching authority with claws and
teeth that doesn't require anybody to agree that it has that
authority. Like similar human attempts at being reasonable, it is
hard to find humans that can be trusted with such authority.

If bombs are outlawed, only outlaws will have bombs. So difficult.

And exactly how is it that the us thinks it should have more atomic
bombs than anybody else and should be immune to prosecution for war
crimes? How did that happen?

What California (THIS part of California - northern Cal.,
north of San Fran and Marin) most reminds me of is
western Wisconsin.

A lot of the people we know live out in the boonies, are
NOT rich, wear flannel and jeans, are not foul-mouthed,
don't talk about sex, and live relatively sedate lives.

The few rich people we know are exactly like that, except
they have more money and live in fancier homes.

In short, no orgies, wife-swapping, meth-labs, conspicuous
consumption, loose women, crazed men, bestiality, necrophilia,
or general degeneracy at all.

There IS a lot of talent sloshing around here - artistic talent
and musical talent. Also, these folks have a much higher
tolerance for driving than people back in Wisconsin do. Many
here would think nothing of driving three and half hours to
see a friend for a day, and then drive back the next day.

Hope this doesn't burst anyone's bubble.

Same for S Cal, in my experience. The glory days of hippidom have
passed. It has a lot to due with sky high rents, and the cost of
everything generally, imo. To live the hippy lifestyle these days in
Calif, you need to be fabulously wealthy.

Crowley plunged into boredom. He tried to dispel it
with one of his practical jokes, writing to the
Society for the Suppression of Vice in London to complain
that prostitution was unpleasantly conspicuous in the
neighbourhood.

The society sent an investigator, and in due course
reported to Crowley that he could find no sign of
vice in Foyers;
Crowley replied on a post card...
"Conspicuous by its absence, you fools!"

Not really, but it does tell me that when I become a tech

in a nursing home with someone wiping my ass for me. I
want to drop dead snorting blow off a lady's boobs. As
they say, you do you and I'll do me...if I can afford it.

Snorting blow off of boobs is certainly a fine way to
die. (Why aren't there ANY good images of snorting
blow off of boobs on the net?? - This is an outrage!

Every miracle can be explained - after the event.
Not because the miracle is no miracle,
but because explanation is explanation.

If it is a miracle, also not cause. That would require knowledge that
a miracle was about to happen, and have a belief of cause in advance
which could then change.

So what belief changes? Perhaps a belief that effects must not have
mystical causes.

OK. How about 'Gods'? Or maybe epistemologies?
Oooo... better yet: ontologies. (I've always wanted to

I would rather drop dead feeding the hungry, housing the
homeless, and helping people. A little tail on the side
probably would be included.

It is a good way of wasting your expensive cocaine
as it clings to boob sweat, falls into the cleavage,
or is otherwise scattered.

I understand the desire to live a hedonistic life. My stance
is also very hedonistic. Imagine how I would feel about myself
helping hundreds of people, but I would not do it like the others
where they endow a fund with administrators and managers to do it.
I would get down on the ground with doctors, nurses, supplies and
equipment. Food, shelter, education, and just plain caring. Those
we help can be instructed to pass it on. People who have fallen
by the wayside with a life of snorting cocaine off boobs can be
saved! Not Charlie Sheen, but Robert Downey Jr.

Oh yes, it's always that little tail. (Which screws everything up.)

Ned

Mumonkan - 38
Inoue takes the tail to be a symbol of the sexual passion,
which Buddha thought would be the great danger for his
teaching. Asahina pooh-poohs the explanation as being
far from Zen, and this is no doubt true, but what is the
Zen view of the matter? What is it that remains to trouble
Christ and Buddha and Eckhart and Daruma even after
they have transcended the relative-absolute?

It can be licked off of sweat. Not that I have any

There have been stories about Mother Teresa (no "h")
strong-arming people for money and poor conditions in
some of her facilities.

You have triggered the annual Mother Theresa Scam post.


Mother Theresa died in 1978. Her recent "death" merely marked
the passing of the fourth and final imitator lined up by the
Catholic Church to play the role of the "Saint of the Gutters".

When the real Mother died the Catholic Church was worried.
Through her work in the slums of Calcutta, Mother Theresa had
provided the church with immeasurable positive publicity around
the world.

The Vatican Bank held data showing the saintly image of Mother Theresa
was responsible for the generation of hundreds of millions of dollars
in donations to the church.

Put bluntly, the Vatican Bank viewed Mother Theresa as a goldmine -
as big as, if not bigger, than a major rock or movies star.

Now she was dead and the goldmine was to close. Or was it?

While news of Mother Theresa's death was hushed up - even from the Pope
himself - a proposal was drawn up by the Vatican Bank. It called for a
lookalike to take the place of the dead Mother and continue her world
travel and fundraising.

A highly confidential worldwide search was undertaken and in the end
four lookalikes were found.

But the plan needed the Pope's approval, if not his blessing. The plan
suffered major setback when it was presented to the then Pope Paul VI.

The Holy Father read the briefing note and promptly dropped dead from
shock. Even the new Pope John Paul disputed the fact he had given his
approval.

When shown the letter of authority he claimed he had been tricked into
signing it as routine paperwork. John Paul became agitated and
threatened to blow lid off the scheme publicly.

The handful of senior figures within the Vatican who knew of the plan
decided John Paul was serious in threatening to expose their ruse and
decided he must be killed.

When Pope John Paul II was elected he was told nothing of the scheme and
to this day never knew the woman he greeted regularly on her visits to
Rome or in Calcutta was not the real Mother Theresa.

Apart from the real Mother's death in 1978, the other "Mothers" died in
June 1984, May 1989, December 1992 and of course September 1997.

As the church hierarchy grew more comfortable with the look-alike
scheme, greater risk would be take, such as sending out a number of
Mother Theresa at once to maximise fundraising and publicity.

In almost 20 years the scheme had only one hiccup.

In August 1982 "Mother Theresa" was taping an appearance on the Johnny
Carson Tonight Show in Los Angeles while at the same time she was
appearing at a special mass in Dijon, France.

Through sheer luck nobody uncovered the slip-up.
