whats more rewarding?, striking your enemy with precise revenge,or letting their ego starve by not acknowledging their nonsense.

whats more tragic?, a country that has little children starving,or having the richest resources of all the world while not attending to the home teams problems that continue revolving.

who is more noble?, the man or woman who is braver than you and i and dies for our freedom and rights,or the man or woman who truly believes that war is not the answer,and takes a stand not to fight

what bothers you more?, the terrorists hijacking the planes and catching homeland security off guard even though we were warned it was coming,or thinking about how the victims felt knowing their time was up,crying,pleading,praying,screaming telling these men their innocent and that they didn't do nothing

do you blame the racists who spew hatred but had no choice because this is how they were raised,or do you blame the people who have the proper tools and education who still continue to hand down the prejudice to future generations anyway

what do you think?,is it more devastating when religion is purposely misused by religious leaders to brainwash people into believing exactly like he or she,or the atheist who just follows the trend,and hides behind the cliche"you cant believe what you cant see"

time is money,or so i was taught.all i have in my pockets is some loose change,please accept my offer of a penny for your time,and a dime for your thought.i know its not much,but i would love to hear you talk

1.whats more rewarding?, striking your enemy with precise revenge,or letting their ego starve by not acknowledging their nonsense.>>> Well it depends on the degree of the said egregious offense. if it's minor let it go and live your life. But if it's a "personal" debt to be paid I'm all for it.

2.
whats more tragic?, a country that has little children starving,or having the richest resources of all the world while not attending to the home teams problems that continue revolving.>>> Well I don't know if either of them would qualify as truly tragic to me, perhaps selfish or misprioritized. But If I had to chose it would be ....... the small children.

3.who is more noble?, the man or woman who is braver than you and i and dies for our freedom and rights,or the man or woman who truly believes that war is not the answer,and takes a stand not to fight>>>>> It depends on the original motivation to fight. Fighting because you're made too, survival or for monitory gain or glory is not noble to me."respect your enemies as well as your allies". Fighting or defending a cause the individual person believes in is noble to me , even If I don't agree with the cause. I'm old school in this retrospect. War is a necessary evil at times and it has always been old men talking and planning, as young economically poor men/women die to further a concept.Being brave can be a useful attribute, but with no wisdom or commonsense it's a deadly trait. The path of nonviolence is good on paper is a noble gesture, given the right intentions & structure.

4. what bothers you more?, the terrorists hijacking the planes and catching homeland security off guard even though we were warned it was coming,or thinking about how the victims felt knowing their time was up,crying,pleading,praying,screaming telling these men their innocent and that they didn't do nothing
>>>> Definitely the reckless hubris of the american government. and their stupid bureaucratic non organized home, secret and for foreign agencies the continue work against each other like children in the sand box.

5. do you blame the racists who spew hatred but had no choice because this is how they were raised,or do you blame the people who have the proper tools and education who still continue to hand down the prejudice to future generations anyway
>>>> 1st, yes you can grow up in an environment with bigoted ideals, but at a certain point unless you're a robot with no will of your own, you make and form your own opinion(adult hood)I do understand that it's scary to question what has been embedded in to your mind, but with exposure and a strong independence you can see for your self. To the properly educated as you stated..... it boils down to media perception, personal view,financial class,subcultural and level of exposure in this case. I'd never blame someone. At the end of the day it's their opinion or belief system, and they have a right to incorporate that to their family if they do so choose.

6.what do you think?,is it more devastating when religion is purposely misused by religious leaders to brainwash people into believing exactly like he or she,or the atheist who just follows the trend,and hides behind the cliche"you cant believe what you cant see">>> Hmmm... good question. I think it's always bad form and karma to misuse a religious concept and twink it to to meet your personal objectives and then sway people to your version of the original works. I have no problem with atheist per say, I just don't appreciate the disrespect handed out by the media and some atheist that I've met. I respect your view please in turn show me the same courtesy. Especially if I'm not trying to sway you to my way of thinking, it's simply to different opinions.

Thank You in kind LoBo,

1)- what is defined as personal enough for revenge?,just curious.
2)-I guess the visual of children starving is tragic to me,might be because i love my lil man so much
3-agree totally,love "respect your enemies as well your as your allies",sounds straight out of Robert Greenes 48 laws of power.love it.sorry for lack of a poetic term but that is straight gangsta,very strategic,you definitely sound like a chess player and not checkers,i applaud
4)ditto!
5)very valid point,if you can not make your own decisions when your an adult chances are your not on the right path of becoming a productive citizen.never thought about it from that perspective,thanks for the enlightment
6)never understood atheists? why go through life proving something you don't think exists,no problems with them though i embrace all
7)good luck with the cap,and i hope nothing more than your lil sis to be of sound health,mind,and spirit.your thoughts are worth way more than a dime and i thank you for replying and putting time into your responses,appreciative.if i dont hear back from you be easy

P.S-i just realized you did not ask for my damn opinion,kinda of rude of me,my fault,got a little carried away🙂

No your opinion is much appreciated B24.
1. A great personal injustice done to your personal sense of self worth, or hurting someone you let into your intimate circle of trust.

2.I feel for starving children, and adore kids. But in my opinion it was the lesser of two evils.

3.virgo-leo cusper mind I guess😛

4. And still they fight each other....

5. personal responsibility is a dying concept, that and tolerance for being good or bad in one's perspective view point.

6. I think because from their perspective they want to bring logic to faith.

7. Yea she's a hand full🙂
