I believe in doing whatever you like as long as no one is hurt by it.

So you're a free spirited buddist that just happens to have a computer with an Internet connection who is interested in DDR simulators?
I swear, the DDR population is an ever-growing strange one.

The DDR population was strange to begin with. Think about it. YOU MOVE AROUND ON A METAL PAD WHILE HITTING ARROWS TO MUSIC LOOKING RATHER IDIOTIC. But that never stopped me....even when I fell off the pad while playing dynamite rave and spraining my ankle...because I am a bad-ass...and/or flaming nerd. |

I've found a simple rule that will make life better for everyone: all people hold the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you don't steal any of those three from another person (i.e. murder them, imprison them unfairly, cut off their limbs and keep them alive) then you will be fine. Although, I do have a good hint for you: people who help everyone will be successful in life. Whether that means money or happiness, it is still true. Just remember this stuff and you can never go wrong in life.

Religion, to put it generally, is a way of bringing a group of people together in a community. It fails, because the idealogy behind religion and the practice of it are so far apart.
For example: When did "love all thy lord's creations" turn into "kill those who oppose your religion"?

It wasnt blatantly stolen. I can't remember if it was the US Constitution or the US Declaration of Indepence, but the entire purpose of that phrase was to set a guideline for exactly how we should treat each other and the basis of our entire legal system. I used it because it is right.

okay, time for me to step in, correct people's statements whilst offering nothing new to the argument b ecause I deem it too silly with people completely missing the point.
Ok A) I really hope . assume tny was joking about thinkign tiw as stolen from somewhere B) Drac, actually believes tony, and then doesn't know where its from itself C) the line itself was actually blatantly stolen from John Locke in his second treatise on civil government where he writes that all men have these inalienable rights "life, liberty, and the right to own property" |

Yep, that's where it's from. I remembered the inalienable rights phrase and I was referencing it on purpose, but I couldn't remember where it was from. Anyways, it is true and it sets simple guidelines for how to live life. And it's probably one of two posts that actually responded to the original topic. Live life free, but don't forget other people exist. That's all there is to it.

I think the only right you have is to strive for your rights. Your rights are what you can earn for yourself or are given to you by those in charge of you. There are no inborn rights that come with being alive. If the american government decides that it is going to discard one of the rights we consider "inborn" what are you going to do? you can fight, and you can die, but you can't make them to give you that right unless you are able to force them. A rights package doesn't come with being alive. The idea of human rights is extremely western, and is a positive development for humans in general, but is by no means inborn or natural.

Um, the one big rule of Buddhism is live for others and don't be selfish, which is supposed to bring you inner happiness. Basically, you can do nothing for yourself and must live entirely off of the kindness of others. With this, your whole statement of Buddhism supporting doing nothing but trying to be happy is complete crap. Buddhism is about making others happy, with the hope that such happiness will return to you tenfold.

I'm not sure what Buddhism exactly means.
I know several of the members from my local buddhist temple, one of my closest friends goes there and I know the youth pastor as well. However, both of them are burnouts, i.e, they smoke pot, chase women, and drink constantly. I thought in general Buddhist's were supposed to be connected with nature on a certain level and hopefully strive to attain inner peace. Perhaps I'm wrong. -bye |

As for rights, I do believe in them. I believe that, for the purposes of reality, not all men (or women )are created equal, that we due have certain unalienable rights, and that we also have certain very alienable rights. My right to vote, for instance, has been alienated just because I'm physically 3 years younger than I need to be ( Which is fine and dandy because now I get taxed without being represented. Life's a hoot, isn't it?). Why would you even stop to consider men being equal. We're not. It's obvious that we're not. If we were all equal, I might have had more luck with the ladies. I'd be just as intelligent as Zildjian. I am sure that, despite what many moronic Americans think today, this means that everyone should have their rights given to them from the moment of birth (or conception, depending on how you view life ). Such rights are the "inalienable rights" that John Locke and Thomas Jefferson both agreed on (actually, it was congress that edited out the "right to own property" in favor of "pursuit of happiness". Same difference). For the purpose of a balance between the consumers, their rights ought to be equal. Otherwise, the scale tilts in the favor of one and he'll eventually create a monopoly on many many products. Q EDIT: Yes, some may worship Buddha, but he himself preached that he was not to be worshipped. |
