Why doesn't society care about good service and human interaction anymore?
Remember when a store owner knew your name? Knew what you regularly bought and had it ready for you? Offered you discounts for loyalty and for things you purchased often?
I can't understand all these people paranoid about their privacy. Really, how does being offered discounts on products you actually buy and use constitute a bad thing. Are you such a sick deviant fuck that you are ashamed by your purchases, or buying illegal things, or buying things to commit illegal actions? Seriously? Get over it.
Mainly because US'ians can't be bothered to change any mistakes they've ever made. Almost half a millennia after realizing they weren't in India and they still call the natives Indians!!
I think you're confusing atheism and agnosticism. Most atheists are science fan bois who believe there is no god without any evidence to prove their point.
Got my copy for $1.50 at a used book store. It'd basic fringe psychology of the time (dianetics has no trace of the craziness of scintology). I was also offered a copy when I went to investigate their local headquarters here. Have to admit everybody there had that same feeling you get from a strung out heroin whore. I found it interesting that at the time I went to investigate there were many stories of people beong hounded by them to join. I wonder if because I scored very high on their modified self-actualization questionnaire (I forget which specific exam it was modified from, but was a pretty standard historic psych exam covered in one of my psych courses at the time), modified by turning many questions into loaded ones to produce a tendency to answer in a way that you needed their help, that they didn't purse me. I wonder if the whole point of the test is to screen for gullible suckers with voids in their lives to scam from.
Now, if they were grammar specialists I could definitely use their help.
Ah, so you mean it's like when you're trying to act like a big shot and impress people with your false magnanimous gesture but you don't really expect them to actually take advantage of it and then being the petty little person you are you then resent them for calling your bluff. Yup, can see why that's a problem for a lot of US'ians.
I guess you aren't aware of a host of studies that show that for most psychological "disorders" medication is as effective as psychotherapy? Or that psychotherapy is as effective as talking to some one who will listen (like a friend)? I don't agree with the overall view of scientology but their 'fight' against psychiatry(doctors prescribing drugs) is founded on truth. However this truth is overshadowed by their evilness in using it as a honey pot and the intense indoctrination from the pharmaceutical industry teaching the US (and by bleedthrough the world) that drugs are the only answer.
Funny how the US gov't is always for drugs to control people or make them hardworking but so against anything that frees you from their "reality".
7Good to see you've clarified the 'christians' you are ranting about. Believe it or not,not all christian religians are like most US religions. The christians I've met in my travels are some of the most decent people I've ever met. Never met one of those in the US, but there are stories, you know churches who use their donations for humanitarian reasons across the world instead of lining their pockets, making bigger churches and bigger media budgets.
Except that christianity has nothing to do with magic men in the sky. I'm not a christian but at least learn about something before you criticize it instead of just blindly believing the ignorant masses belief about something.
Funny how most people who look down on religion as devoid of fact and logic seem not to possess those characteristics themselves.
ah, people like you are why the world isn't in a better place. Not only rejecting responsibility for their actions but believing it's their right to do so. Thanks douche.
The big cosmic joke that you haven't gotten yet is that you and the engineers looked down upon the girl never realizing that your arrogance and myopia prevent you from realizing your lack of any esthetic value which prevented you from seeing just how horrible that line really was.
There's a reason people hire artists to cover the work of engineers!
Learn to read. I said spiritual not religious, I avoided the use of the word religious because the US colloquial use has corrupted it's true meaning so that it is now useless anywhere else. The US is actually highly 'religious' but very low on the spiritual scale, if you watch a lot of US preachers they almost carry all their body weight on their right side.
As for US bashing, it's just simply the truth that the US views the world through it's culture centric googles and constantly makes the error of generalizing to all humans from it's own population and trying to impose it's culture on others. Why do you think a lot of mature people in other countries dislike the US?
Now, as far as these spiritual cultures go, they're spiritual cultures, not scientific, they don't do science, in fact they don't do much of any sort of competitive controlling expansionistic activities (of which both science and religion are a part), they just live simple happy lives where they aren't constantly trying to change everything around them. You have to visit them to actually see the truth of it.
If you knew anything about how the hemispheres of the brain work (left hemi/right body all about control, organization, and understanding, right/left body all about the present, acceptance, and being) and how the human body works (use it or lose it) you would also easily see the truth of it.
Isn't it funny how your culture centric goggles made you do a cosmic joke in front of everybody? US'ians are very 'you're either with us or against us', I've never seen a more BPD culture that has little room for truth and fact and turns everything into a divisive political position.
First remember that this is US based science where they assume the whole world is exactly like them. Hint, spiritual societies have a higher percentage of left handedness.
So, americans are dumb with low reading abilities and comprehension. Anything new you want to add to the table? Funny how all these scientific analytic logical thinkers don't realize that bashing US interpretations of the bible is just a straw man.
Note he says he doesn't believe in a PERSONAL god, which is more of a US centic idea. Einstein doesn't deny he believes in God in much the same manner as millions around the world.
Too funny. You've made up an answer (god doesn't exist) and believe it wholeheartedly and don't even try to figure it out. Is it hard to live with the contradictions in your head?
You need to step outside your US reality bubble some time. All that claptrap really isn't in the bible, that's an imposed interpretation mainly from the US mainly from people who have never read or understood the bible.

This is what happens when you let lawyers/companies from the USA, run free and wild, and let them take everyone for a ride.
FTFY

Yeah, but everybody knows you can't level-up at a christian church, it's all that equality crap.

Who do you think run the country clubs?;P
Masonic? Don't you mean US government?

do you know what genetic means? what activates those genes?
Finally someone who can think!

Unless your point was that your an idiot criticizing a strawman or that you're religious, then no his post didn't prove your point.
