or even pooka shells 🙂

It also makes me think of China, but that's not why I like it. Maybe it's because Baha'i sounds like Shang-Hai. That's China, right?

Second runner up would have to be Protestant, because I like anything that sounds like a protest against something is being made.

Why do they call people who stand out in the street wearing daschikis (sp?) and waving signs like, "Save The Yellow Feathered Penguins" "protestors" and not protestants?

Para, I think you have been watching too many Hollywood movies. There are no 'sayings' in Buddhism...lol. The 'substance' is found through the texts. The only place I have heard the one hand clapping thing is in an episode of the Simpsons (great show).
I don't know whether you composed the above or got in from somewhere else (if the latter then ignore my previous sentence obviously). Either way, it was rather funny, thanx for sharing!

One Week
by the barenaked ladies

It?s been one week since you looked at me
chickened your head to the side and said ?I?m angry?
Five days since you laughed at me saying
?Get that together come back and see me?
Three days since the living room,
I realized it?s all my fault, but couldn?t tell you
Yesterday you?d forgiven me
But it?ll still be two days till I say I?m sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You?ll think you?re looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Suisse
I like the sushi cause it?s never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leanne Rimes
Because I?m all about value
Bert Kaempfert?s got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Like Andrew Lloyd I?ve got a big show*
Mine?s about a Back-Hoe*
There?ll be a big sound from the pavement*
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I?d like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it?s the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you?ll know
The Vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it?s so dangerous, you?ll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you?re funny when you?re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I?m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can?t understand what I mean? well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt


It?s been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said ?You?re crazy?
Five days since you tackled me
I?ve still got the rug burns on both my knees
It?s been three days since the afternoon
You realized it?s not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you?d forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you?re sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin?
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We?re dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man?s in this one
Like Harrison Ford I?m getting Frantic
Like Sting I?m tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don?t make films
But if I did they?d have a samurai
Like Skywalker, gotta big hunch*
Hey that?s my lunch*
Yoda?s a really really old guy*
Gonna get a set o? better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren?t always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you?re funny when you?re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I?m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can?t understand what I mean? you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It?s been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said ?I?m sorry?
Five days since I laughed at you and said
?You just did just what I thought you were gonna do?
Three days since the living room
We realized we?re both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it?ll still be two days till we say we?re sorry
It?ll still be two days till we say we?re sorry
It?ll still be two days till we say we?re sorry

Good question....I feel that the difference here is "awareness." Infants are in a very natural state of being without having been "domesticated" so whatever they are doing, they are having fun. They do not know the difference. Adults on the other foot, have been "domesticated" and therefore may not be having as much fun in an affair because they have to many thoughts going through their head i.e. ~this isn't right, I've sinned, oh geeze...I'm a bad person but omg this feels great!, I love the excitement now I have to go home and face my significant other, I'm a lowlife, I'm no good, yada~yada~ and yada." I want to be an infant having an affair.

Even though I am not a Sikh...i think the coolest religion has got to be Sikhism...I have a lot of Sikh freindz...they are probably one of the bravest/strongest people worldwide...and the music that these people listen to is amazing! I reccommend that whoever reads this...should go and download their music...its called "BHANGRA"...Sikhism isnt cool because of the music...its cool because its unique...and wellll just find out for yourself....check out this website... www.sikhnet.com .... and you can find their music on www.digitalbhangra.com!

theres nuthin' like a cool religion/ not cool religion...it all dependz on wat u like or wat u were brought up as...

all religionz are gr8 and i respect them all ... but i really get frustrated wen people have this ' Holier than Thou' attitude' coz their religion is the best and the only TRUE one.. COME ON..... i mean live and let live...

but i really respect the religionz that teach peace n love
1. buddhism
2. Latter-day saints
3. christains ( not the self-righteous ones...🙂
So I guess my question for everyone is:

What do you think about the religious influence/impact in war? I'm not talking about the Crusades or Jihads but on the personal morals that lead people to kill each other in a war. I am sort of confused...

Some very obvious signs of evil going on is the greed on Wall Street. Listen to the CEO testifying about their lavish lifestyles while honest Joe Blow who was a year a way from retirement has no retirement fun and no money and no job. I hopethe they wo

Jesus preacheed re-incarnation (born again) but his direct references were taken out of the bible b/c it didn't sit well with the society at the time. His teachings (and remeber he was born about 500 yrs after Buddha) were very similar to Buddha's teachi

Is this suppose to mean that I can't talk about God unless I keep it on this board? What I feel and believe in is not a miscellaneous topic it is who I am all the time and how I think and what I feel. Am I suppose to run over to this board everytime I

I am a Buddhist/Atheist so please forgive my naive questions:
1) Jesus was a Jew. Why do Christians worship a Jew? If they know this and still worship him, then why not just be Jews?
2) In Genesis it states that the Earth was created first then th
