I'm sorry Rene Maybe this can help you to feel better?

His Holiness The Dalai Lama offers wisdom about anger:

1. Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.

2. If we live our lives continually motivated by anger and hatred, even our physical health deteriorates.

3. Anger or hatred is like a fishermans hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it.

4. We have a saying in Tibet: If you lose your temper and get angry, bite your knuckles. This means that if you lose your temper, do not show it to others. Rather, say to yourself, Leave it.

5. According to Buddhist psychology, most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities. The pursuit of the objects of our desire and attachment involves the use of aggression and competitiveness. . . These mental processes easily translate into actions, breeding belligerence.

Such processes have been going on in the human mind since time immemorial, but their execution has become more effective under modern conditions. What can we do to control and regulate these poisonsdelusion, greed and aggression? For it is these poisons that are behind almost every trouble in the world.

5. Hatred can be the greatest stumbling block to the development of compassion and happiness. If you learn to develop patience and tolerance towards your enemies, then everything becomes much easieryour compassion towards all others begins to flow naturally.

6. Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, Today I am happy because this morning I was angry. On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, Today I am not very happy, because I lost my temper this morning.

You forgot one...

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering

Jono, every time you mention the possibility of having children, I subtly check your head for signs of blunt force trauma.

Heck, I consider the fact that the mere thought of it might just drive you insane as a motivation.

Having kids sounds like a hoot - you can teach them to hate the things you hate. Or, in the case of Ren here, punish them if they ever decide to believe in something. I think the only way to not get tangled in Ren's fishing line is to believe in nothing at all... is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

And Hippy new-age buddhist rhetoric leads to vomiting. :icon_vomit:

Do you still believe in Santa?

And yes I did have to look up solipsistic and then epistemological and ontological!

You think they will end up believing what you tell them? :lol:

I believe in lots of things.....

Jesus Christ's teachings.
The Joy of Christmas.
Mohammad's wisdom.
The fellowship of Man.

You can't tar me as being against (or disbeleiving in) everything simply because I have exposed my feelings on that big ******* fraudster the Dalai Lama. As I said before, I'm not even anti-buddhist. But that old moneygrubber is a greedy meglomaniac, nothing more.

 

[Renegade]

And I dont punish my kids for beleiving in something. in fact I expose them to just about every aspect of humanity that I can think of (obviously not porn etc). Animal Slaughter? Sure have, they need to know that food doesn't grow on a shelf.

So you're kinda off the mark, Que-Bee

EDIT: But yes, it has been stated to them that the Dalai Lama is a bad, very bad man. So sue me ! :lol:

Wow. I honestly thought it would be harder to troll a troll... I guess the force isn't so strong with this one.

 

[Renegade]

Got news for you, Katie - at least I can teach them to read & write properly.

You know me so well.

what is Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport actually about?

The traditional attire of a stockman or grazier is a felt Akubra hat; a double flapped, two pocket (for stock notebooks) cotton shirt; a plaited kangaroo skin belt carrying a stockman's pocket knife in a pouch;

sport - a young bloke.

could be about the stockman which would make more sense.

I don't know you at all! Also I was not critizing you for having children it was a question.

You get a kick out of giving people a hard time for not being able to spell or write correctly. Well done! There are many things LIKE making BEER that I can do better then you. I'm financially independent and look after myself and child. If it makes you feel better about yourself go for it!

 

[Renegade]

I'll just need to ensure you're paying close attention, Qu-Bert

Ahh, so they tie him down with his belt for the proceedings?
