so then let's talk about the whales life. let's talk about if the community can survive without the slaughtering of whales. if they can't, then maybe the killings can be justified. if they can, then i have to question the morality of it. i don't think i have you wrong bani.....i just wanted to dig deeper in to this subject. you have stated that life is no more important than non life. can you elaborate on that? you also seem to intimate that one life is no better than another life which would also mean no life is worse than another life. if that is true, why would the whale have to die over someone elses life? there would be the exception of the greater good but since you have a hard time defining that in your own life, it would be hard to assume it for someone else or even another mammal or animal. so again, when you can't define the greater good, how can you begin to talk about why the whale has to die?

nice letter, but what the guy who wrote it DOESN'T know is the person was going to be in and out, decided to leave their lights on and the keys in the car. by turning the lights off and locking the door, the owner now has to find a way to get back in to his car with the keys inside and the doors now locked.

yea, nice poem, but unfortunately the author refuses to read the rules of the forum. it is posted on at least 6 other websites. post should be in quotes

i was bored so i wanted to see what came up. this video is #4 in the google search results when you type in "Xisto" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ interesting side fact. the #1 result is my post here...... http://forums.xisto.com/topic/71651-a-suggestion-for-knowledge-sutra/ Xisto......better than kama sutra!

well, summer is upon us and this is a good discussion to bring back up. i did one of three things in the summer to stay cool. since the head generates the most heat, it's best to concentrate on cooling the head. i liked to turn on the shower and just soak my head with cold water. if i was lazy, i would kneel by the pool and soak my head. very refreshing! one way that nobody usually mentions is to put a shirt in the freezer. i am a guy so it's easy to take on and off my shirts. :)i don't really recomend taking full showers multiple times a day only because i hate wasting water but it DOES help!don't eat foods with a lot of salt or other foods that would make you thirsty. it will just make you that much more miserable. drink a lot of ice cold water or you favorite ice cold drink. keep your body hydrated. i like to put orange juice in the freezer and let it become a slushy.combine everything above, and you will definately stay cooler for the summer!

what i would do is to try and think creative. i have many ideas ash. one idea is to really think about who you are catering to. you are catering to people that want websites. SO making websites or having someone work with you to make websites might be in your best interest. instead of promoting hosting, you promote web design to individuals or local businesses. part of the package would have to be......you guess it.....webhosting. this type of marketing has been done for ages. create a low front end product, and then continue making money on the back end product.this is just one idea. i am sure if you thought about it ash, you can come up with several good ideas. or why don't you go to your local library and pick up a good book on sales and marketing since you want to be in business and don't know how. whatever you do, keep with it and DONT GIVE UP!!!

what your saying is basically the old cliche, "money cannot buy happiness".....or in this case, contentment.it's funny. we are trained as children to follow a certain path in life...school, job, house, marriage, but very RARELY are we truely guided to our own individual destinies and purpose in life. this is why people get left feeling empty inside. it's funny to me because parents should be older and wiser and should have learned from their own sacrifices in life to guide better. it would be easier for the children to find themselves if parents were more open to the possibilities other than some of the luxuries they want for their children.what's NOT funny is looking at all the people who are not strong enough to break free from the selfish wants or expectations coming from the older generations. to actually break a cycle. it really is a shame.

why would people need to send a support ticket if an admin states that opaque would take care of everyone's monthly invoice? that doesn't make sense. what DOES make sense is that MANY people have complained already that their hosting is NOT being taken care of so why you would assume otherwise is beyond me. you know, HOPEFULLY you can start stating the truth in some of your announcements.....

buffalohelp has clearly stated in his blog that terminally ill children should NOT be allowed to go in peace. i am wondering what his experience is on this situation that makes him stand firm that such a child deserves no peace. his opinion is CLEARLY stated at the end of his entry. you can read about it here.... terminally ill children

murder is different than killing, but killing will ALWAYS be a selfish act.....even for survival. so you believe in selfishness, bani? if it was between you and another life....where would your stand be? you dead or someone or something else dead? be carefull to assume that your life may be more important. you're saying that though. what you are saying is that you would die for the greater good and the greater good is still something FAR beyond the realm of your thinking......or else the world would be perfect.....unless in a perfect world there has to be killing. are you saying that?

hahaha! that made me laugh remembering how opaque posted about looking for a wife recently hahaha i think everyone knows that one. i think i have even used it a few times! actually, i have used a few of those. that's kinda scarey when it's the words WOMEN use! haha

congratulations, sheepdog. it's good to see you posting more the last couple days. you seem to come and go though also, you need to update your profile picture. your avatar is used in some places on the forum while your profile picture is used in the other places. they don't have to be the same picture.

i don't like it at all peronally. i like the effort, but soviet admitted he didn't even do it. you have a picture of FREE, a joystick, money, a car. i mean, come on dude. how does that fit the theme of Xisto? haha i can't even make out some of the other pictures. i do see someone holding the world in their hands. that isn't even semi original.sorry bud, but i had to vote totally against this one. wish i could be more supportive. also, why create your own thread when there was already a thread dedicated to a theme logo? and your own voting poll? the others didn't even get theirs yet....come on....

if people were perfect or people understood life fully, there wouldn't be hidden truths. there is a reason for everything even if people don't search out the "why's". when people judge other people without asking the "why's" FIRST are the ones that need the most help because of the "hidden truths" that are sometimes so exciting to figure out or realize.unfortunately, i had seen a man slap a woman before when i was driving..... but before jumping to conclusions, i decided to park my car and watch how the situation would progress. although slapping a woman is wrong, so could be interfering in what i feel is wrong. thus, i waited and watched when it would have been REALLY easy to jump to my first conclusion to protect.if people can't be open to the possibilities, how can those same people see any hidden truths or even see a belief that may have a stronger meaning than their own. "hidden truths" are only as realistic or important as one chooses to live their life. to some, there are no hidden truths because they think they may know it all or right in their opinions or beliefs. to others, there will always be hidden truths because they are open enough to see how they may be right or wrong in any situation or at least strive to do so.most hidden truths lie in the fact that there is usually right and wrong in any situation depending on how you look at the situation but nothing is limited by right or wrong. only by the sacrifices by our own choices when there are certain benefits to any choice. this is what makes life hard at times but helps build character when we can see those hidden truths and make choices based on them.

what?!? you claim to tell everyone what you think i meant but you claims are all wrong. it's no wonder you seem so confused sometimes in what you write. haha i wasn't even thinking if there was only 1 other man in the universe. haha! i don't how you can twist peoples words so easily! i laughed pretty hard on that one. anyway, i just found out where the difference of opinion lies. you think love is a choice. this is where i have to strongly differ. we don't have a choice in who we love because i believe love is part of people's nature already when we are born and een before we are born. we DO however have the choice NOT to love. you of all people know what jesus said in turning the other cheek. that is a good example of free will. now believe it or not, i love freely. it's in my nature. i never made a choice to love....ever. it's just something that comes natural so i am speaking of my own experience. i have have however made choices not to love....or better put, love to different degrees. you, my friend, are underestimating love and the power behind it because it is a part of nature. not a choice. so something funny popped up in my mind when you said what you did. here is an example exertp in what you are saying. one day, true fusion meets some woman. their relationship progresses in to something special and one day she says those magic words, "i love you" and because he has made the choice to love her, he says those words back". her only response to HIS words that she can say is "thank you" since it was a personal choice. which in the end, was nothing more than just a favor to her. it's like someone choosing to buy me a present for christmas. i think thank you is in order. so. a bit of advice true fusion, dig deeper in the things you think you know, or never EVER tell a woman you love them because it was your choice to do it. a person who says love is a choice says a lot about that person and part of their personal background. now SELFISH love is a whole other type of love......and THAT CAN be a choice. not a very good one though but i don't believe you were talking about selfish love. but i really don't get your point where you can still say homosexuality is wrong or unnatural. all it is is two men or two women who fall in love even if it is by their own choice. in fact, you ARE saying you are better than them when you say acts like that are immoral and you would never lower yourself to do that. again though. selfish love is different. it's wrong. the acts of so-called love for self gratification only cannot be considered love.....but you see those relationships in homosexuals and heterosexuals a like. it's not just pinned down on the gays relationships. your whole basis for your arguement is the act of something that you think is unnatural. you can't bear children being a homosexual, therefore it is wrong. so in actuality, you believe strongly in pro creation. but wouldn't your logic also dictate that if we don't do what is natural(pro create), we are therefore doing something unnatural? so two heterosexuals who don't procreate are effectively doing something that homosexuals are. knowlingly engaging in an act NOT to do something that is supposed to be natural.....pro creation.

like i said in my previous post. just feel lucky you found out sooner than later.and like opaque said, don't go jumping in to another relationship because of loneliness or dispare. it's best to be by yourself right now because like chini said, you need to learn from this experienceeven the crappy experiences in life are good ones if we can learn from them. if we can't, we will just be holding on to the hurt, anger and bitterness with no closure.a word to the wise. you still have choices. cut off ALL communication with him or you are just setting yourself up to be hurt again. you don't need that right now. you are hurt enough! this guy sounds like a real jerk(to put it mildly)!

come on you guys. look more closely. it's not as obvious as wax on a keyboard or the first one deadmad posted(which was just hilarious!)but it is there!

how in the world did this topic sway to some religious debate? i find it funny. mean, if we are going to bring religion in to this, we have to bring ALL religions in to this topic for it to be remotely objective. this topic wasn't about religion or god. it was about morals. right and wrong and the proof that right or wrong exists. it wasn't about a person's belief and it certainly wasn't about something you can read in a book. let's get back on topic here guys!homosexuality was a good example of right or wrong and the morality of life. but i am still awaiting proof from true fusion in what he knows to support what he says. he has yet to even try to prove anything he says is true. i commend him for his opinions though. he has stated more than what i expected....

i am sorry you have to experience that. just fel lucky that you got out while you still could. and as far as being hurt that he can move on so easily? don't be.....his relationship wont last. he doesn't even know her and she is getting played just like you did because as it turns out, he doesn't even know what he wants.seriously though, feel lucky that you found out about his insecure behavior before you married him. it could have been worse. you just have to learn from this experience and move on. don't think about how great his life is right now because it's not so great when you really think about it. sometimes out own selfishness gets in the way of life. i mean, we always want someone to return the same type of love that we give ourselves and we get hurt if that doesn't happen.like i said, this is a learning experience and learning experiences aren't meant to be happy all the time you will be ok.

the title was soviets words. opaque edited the post to make it contradictory . so like i said before, it was made SEMI official when opaque moved the topic to announcements. so it is official non official at the same time right now. it's in a limbo state to see where soviet will take it and opaque has put his trust and faith in to the determination of soviet. thus, read my post. sometimes things don't have to be announced official to be semi official ash- just read between the lines :)opaque is changing with the times. i am surpised that he kept the chat room going and i am surprised he is allowing soviet to link the irc to this forum. it's a good thing. don't question it
