i've thought about being a priest just for the asceticism,
for some reason, a test of willpower sounds enticing to me,
but there are better ways of doing it besides giving your life over to a corrupt organization

lol theres nothing ascetic about being a catholic priest, if you want that you have to be a monk w/ the cistercians or one of the other thousand tiny orders

that's what i wanted,
but i'd feel too restricted by the organization i'm a part of.
I seriously considered becoming a buddhist monk for a long time, but I'd rather practice my own beliefs as I encounter them rather than have beliefs shoved down my throat

[Plug Drugs]

So what is a Catholic priest's big turn on then? Is it speaking to a crowd of people and being able to inspire them?
The monk's turn on is clearly the asceticism and the reinforcement of willpower it brings, but what about the priest?

[Plug Drugs]

a part of me thinks that monks must spend their whole life in resentment of the people they hated in youth, because if your "boost of willpower" isn't going to be used for anything besides sitting in solitude, what was the point

the Buddhist's had a point: you eventually become enlightened after enough willpower has accumulated, but this invariably fades away in time. The Judeo-christian monks however don't have anything to gain from asceticism; they are still very much slaves to those in a higher order within their organization

some very deep food for thought i guess, wrong time wrong place though

buddhists believe that everything is the same as everything and doing anything other than sitting around contemplating that would just be a distraction

[Plug Drugs]

i don't think they believe that "everything is the same as everything", i think they believe that everything flows with each other and forms some greater purpose for metaphysical mechanics they can't comprehend with a human brain.
That's what I got out of it anyways

[Plug Drugs]

their goal isn't to deny oneself human pleasures, but not indulge in them either
it eventually turns into something that is all to akin to religious control over a population, which is something that turned me off from buddhism

you can hippy it up all you want it still means 'everything is the same as everything else'

[Plug Drugs]

I think the majority of the planet is buddhist by tradition, and that says something about the aims behind it

i'm not trying to hippy it up, the choice of words i have for this topic is the only choice of words i can think of while still being able to describe it
i kind of go cross-eyed and type directly what I think
it turns into new-age nonsense but I don't advocate cutting meat out of the diet or putting on a smug grin every morning while getting in to your prius

"recycling" is a very successful corporate scam appealing to people's desire to be "environmentally friendly"
I generally think that if it came out of the ground, it can be buried back in it without harm.
Recycling is just more beneficial to corporations; you're essentially giving them back the supplies they had to use to give you your dumb products

[Plug Drugs]

the human race is going to die off long before we can exhaust the planet's supply of iron ore or copper.
And as far as dolphins getting caught in plastic soda can holder things, who cares. Natural selection. The dumb ones who don't know how to get their mouths out of a piece of garbage will die and the smart ones will live and reproduce

anime without cleavage = too childish
anime with tits and sex = hentai
anime that shows cleavage but doesn't have nudity = the perfect marketing ploy

[Plug Drugs]

i'm a nerd and can't get laid but i don't want to watch hentai because then i'll feel pathetic, but oooh if i watch anime that merely "pushes the envelope" without going beyond it, then i'm not pathetic, i'm edgy

recycling is a cash grab by local governments in which they profit from your labor and give you nothing in return which is essentially slavery

anime of any kind = shit

let me fix that for you

there's nothing edgy about watching cartoons

Global Warming? or Global Governance

i agree but these nerds actually identify with it as being their culture which they belong to

[Plug Drugs]

i'm not good with words when i'm not on strong drugs, i should just stop trying to be philosophical for tonight

[Genital Doli]

Anime is great, actually,a nd good. And cool, and good.

I watched old school rorouni kenshin before it was even dubbed in english... when i was 12...
I outgrew anime in favor of quentin tarantino movies and the like, but i outgrew them too
its all pretty childish

[Plug Drugs]

i'm even finding drug culture to be pretty childish, but i still like one thing about drugs: they directly affect my brain and their effects transcend cultural "ins and outs" and none of that matters when you're nodding or so gacked out you can't even talk

captions should read "bunch opf gay shit i didnt read"
