Sheesh.
Folks say they they want to know the truth.
But, that's not necessarily true.
Quite a few don't.
Quite a few simply want reinforcement of belief, and boy howdy, don't cross someone's belief.
Don’t tell DAM she’s wrong when she’s factually wrong.
You'll get called all kinds of mean and nasty things.
Big ego protection enterprise/operation/racket going on.
Wise up about Buddhism before spouting off about Buddhism.
That way you at least understand basic principles about that with which you disagree.
Plus, you'll be less likely to insult the principle of intelligence.
You're personal beliefs are an insult to my intelligence.
Please go away, until you want to discuss the actual subject topic.

- Gee, that’s too bad.
- I know because in my life, I too have foolishly scorned some opportunities.
- Who hasn’t.
- You made Buddhism a subset of the urgent thread topic by refusing to listen carefully, to truth.
- The younger the opportunity scorning, the more that the resonance of the loss builds throughout life, but if you’re old* you’re fortunate that the resonance won’t build to an earth-shattering frequency as Tesla said was possible. The danger to having your head up your ass when you’re young is that the scorning of opportunity can run you right off the road and into the gutter.**
- So, listen carefully as I walk on by your thread Toot Sweet, waving goodbye to your personal notions, to your terrible and horrible visions that you say are the thread topic.
- For many, especially in the throes*** of change, ignorance is the last refuge.
- The more drastic the change, the deeper the retreat into the refuge of ignorance.
- This is but one reason why ignorance is not part of Buddhism’s Three Jewels.
- This is but one reason why the Doublespeak of Totalitarian Progressivism is incompatible with Buddhism.
- Good luck with your nihilism. I see that for many, the advantage to nihilism is that after a certain point, understanding anything becomes superfluous to the gray ennui*** of existence, and superfluous to the meaning, purpose, and living of life in the shadow of a fearsome gator biting off your nose, or your snout if you have a 'specially big one ... or even biting off the fortified ego.

Toodles, Noodles.
Remember, keep it clean, children might be listening.
* The old have less time for the resonance to reverb, plus age-ossification that protects hard-won understanding is hard to penetrate.
** What the hell, why not toss in some philosophy, eh?
*** snooty enough?
