The One You Feed

<Simply-Me> An old Cherokee told his grandson: "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies & ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy & truth. The boy thought about it, and asked; "Granfather, which wolf wins?" And the grandfather quietly replied: "the one you feed".

Temporary: For Amy

* Amy_ has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<Captain_Planet> whatever poisons or toxins we dump into the planet, came form the planet originally
<n|ne> you're a pretty crappy Captain_Planet, you know that?
<n|ne> lol
<n|ne> good thing amy wasn't here
<n|ne> you'd have bumps on your head
<Captain_Planet> its not as if we ship pollution in from jupiter
<Captain_Planet> we might create a world that doesnt support human life for ourselves but thats ok
<Captain_Planet> the planet isnt about to drop into a black hole, it will recover
<n|ne> representing Captain_Planet that was is a capital offense in her eyes
<Captain_Planet> haha
* starshine has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<n|ne> ok.. you're warming up now
<n|ne> you're getting a bit of carlin in there, but it's not as bad as i thought
<n|ne> however, it's still a bad attitude
<n|ne> a distraction
<Captain_Planet> well what effort needs to be put into saving the planet depends on what you expect from it. if you want the planet to be a home for humans then yeah lets do something to regrow some trees or clean up the water
<n|ne> humanity (and many of the species we're going to have killed, if we don't shape up) is worth saving
<n|ne> see, now you beat me to that!
<n|ne> you're revving up, captain!
<n|ne> keep going!
<Captain_Planet> the distraction is thinking we have any right to fix the 'damage' we have done in the first place
<n|ne> ok, now you're sinking
<Captain_Planet> the damage in our eyes is the potential effect it could have on future human or animal life
<n|ne> yes.... go on....
<Captain_Planet> haha, ive nothing to prove to you
* n|ne rolls eyes
<Captain_Planet> if you have a point of view then lets hear it
<n|ne> it's just my way of interacting lol
<n|ne> don't take it personally
<n|ne> i'm guessing you don't have kids, eh?
* starshine (starshine@8AF02B.DBCBA5.94D3E3.BDEB16) has joined #Buddhism
<n|ne> probably a pretty crappy life, too, right?
<Captain_Planet> humans cannot do more damage to 'nature' than say a violent volcanic erruption, if you view this planet as something that belongs to humans
<n|ne> well, if you consider the surface of Venus to be nature, then yes, you're right.
<Captain_Planet> n|ne as i said ive nothign to prove to you, how you can possible pressume anything about me is mind boggling
<n|ne> if you don't understand how it's possible for humanity to cause that kind of environment here, you don't really understand math very well
<n|ne> lol you don't get the whole "it's just my way of interacting, don't take it personally" bit, do you?
<Captain_Planet> [02:26:54] <n|ne> probably a pretty crappy life, too, right?
<n|ne> yes, that was an honest guess
<Captain_Planet> is that how you interact with total strangers?
<n|ne> not judging you
<n|ne> i'm asking
<n|ne> is it true?
<Captain_Planet> you pressume they have a poor life, essentially because they disagree with you?
<n|ne> no, i didn't presume, i guessed, hoping for an answer
<n|ne> it really doesn't matter
<n|ne> wanna answer?
<n|ne> was i right or wrong?
<n|ne> i guessed that because... i figure only a person miserable about his life would embrace your views. that's all.
<Captain_Planet> in my eyes you are wrong
<n|ne> you don't think your life is crappy?
<n|ne> help me understand then
* Abhaya (Abhaya@5D5F19.24FDDA.35328C.8E9A49) has joined #Buddhism
<Captain_Planet> i was goign to say, the only relevance my quality of life could possibly have to my views would be you see them as being pessimisitic
<Captain_Planet> the fundemental difference between you and i appears to be you see the planet as a garden or a home (or a larder) for humans to do with as they please
<n|ne> how did you come up with the idea that humanity as an entity has no right to correct the environmental damage it's caused
<starshine> Hello Abhaya
* n|ne waves and grinz at Abhaya
<Abhaya> Hello.
<Captain_Planet> for all we know, the planet mightve pushed for human life in order to create lots of plastic and nuclear waste, which itll use for something else
<n|ne> yeah, i read that hilarious idea, too
<n|ne> really really funny
<Captain_Planet> the point is n|ne, that the enviromental damage you talk about is only damaging to us as humans
<starshine> all life
<EnterNickName> hello nine my super little
<n|ne> and my point, earlier, was that you're wrong.
<EnterNickName> hey starshine
<EnterNickName> any news of our friend fabrizio?
<n|ne> you don't understand even the simplest math.
<n|ne> (if you believe that)
<Captain_Planet> not ALL life
<starshine> yes, all life
<starshine> sit down
<Captain_Planet> im not saying im happy about what we've done to the world by any stretch
<n|ne> lol
<starshine> we are killing off our own planet every day
<Captain_Planet> n|ne help me understand the simplest math lol
<n|ne> i can't
<Captain_Planet> go on
<n|ne> ok, i'll try
<n|ne> do you understand business math at all?
<n|ne> like... interest?
<starshine> Hello EnterNickName
<n|ne> the famous 7% video is in my bookmarks somewhere
<EnterNickName> hey i'm here to do the Bruce Lee move
<Captain_Planet> yes
<EnterNickName> is this the right chan?
<n|ne> you do?
<EnterNickName> i want to do the move
<Captain_Planet> yes i understand
<starshine> Bruce or Jet will be fine
<n|ne> do you accept that the vast areas of ice at the poles not only reflect a lot of energy from the sun, but also lock a lot of methane in the ground?
<n|ne> i mean, do you accept that that's a truth?
<Captain_Planet> yes i accept that
<Captain_Planet> of course
<Captain_Planet> ive a feeling about to repeat myself
<Captain_Planet> im*
<EnterNickName> i just escaped from the mental care house
<n|ne> and you understand (and accept as a truth) that all the known carbon-energy producing resources in the world are already in the worlds economy and there is no way short of economic or political collapse to stop them from getting into the air?
<EnterNickName> anyone here also is a mental case?
<EnterNickName> they looking for me from helicopter now
<n|ne> and that people are searching out more carbon-energy resources constantly?
<EnterNickName> i'm jokeing
<Captain_Planet> yes n|ne i accept all of that
<starshine> well, enjoy yourself till they come for you
<Captain_Planet> yes
<EnterNickName> nine are you here to do the Bruce Lee move also?
<Captain_Planet> carry on
<Captain_Planet> is that it?
<n|ne> so here's the question where you answer no: Do you know how high the global average temperature will rise as a result of all this, and do you you know the effects on life of that? Do you know how the atmospheric system will respond to all that? do you know what the outcome will be?
<Captain_Planet> can i talk now
<n|ne> this planet hasn't always supported life
<n|ne> it won't always
<EnterNickName> nine is my little wife
<EnterNickName> i protect her romance her all day
<n|ne> but you can't state with such confidence that lol
<EnterNickName> she's waiting 35 girls from me
<EnterNickName> doctors say
<Captain_Planet> shall i go back to what i said from the start
<n|ne> we can't hurt nature?
<n|ne> yes, i agree that from a certain point of view, you and your favorite commedian are correct - we can't hurt nature. Hell, the surface of the moon is natural.
<n|ne> We can't hurt nature.
<n|ne> We could end all life on earth.
<Captain_Planet> the enviroment and nature are not the same thing. the enviroment we have at the moment is whats required for humans and other animals to survivie on this planet. nature is a force thats existed since the dawn of the universe
<n|ne> i don't personally believe that would happen, but i don't say we can't.
<n|ne> yes
<n|ne> i agree
<Captain_Planet> all of these problems regarding energy consumption or turning the oceans into toxic soup, is only damaging in the context of human life and the life of other animals on this planet
<n|ne> there i say... prove it
<Captain_Planet> you didnt ask me why am i not out saving the human race form enviromental suicide
<Captain_Planet> you asked me why am i nto out saving the planet
<n|ne> oh so all this is about your anal pickieness?
<n|ne> lol
<Captain_Planet> short of the sun throwing neptune at us or something, the planet will be fine
<n|ne> here i thought you had a point
<n|ne> why are you like that?
<Captain_Planet> i think youll find all of this was stems from your need to make a point about somebody calling themselves Captain_Planet and not being a greenpeace ninja super soldier instead of going to sleep early
<n|ne> lol
<n|ne> for the 9th time... i was JOKING
<n|ne> don't take it personally!
<Captain_Planet> [02:17:20] <n|ne> hi EnterNickName - thanks. you too.[02:17:55] <n|ne> sounds restful, Captain_Planet [02:17:55] <n|ne> but ... don't you have a lot of work to do?[02:17:55] <n|ne> saving nature and all?[02:17:55] <n|ne> how can you take a night off from that?[02:18:33] <Captain_Planet> oh dont worry about nature, nature will be fine ï·¯
<n|ne> no, you only got mad when i guessed that you had a crappy life
<Captain_Planet> [02:21:45] <n|ne> you're a pretty crappy Captain_Planet, you know that?[02:21:46] <n|ne> lol[02:21:46] <n|ne> good thing amy wasn't here
<n|ne> poor little you
<n|ne> the big mean integer called you names!
<Captain_Planet> you then went on to ask me if i had a crappy life
<Captain_Planet> youre showing yourself up now
<n|ne> Captain_Planet, I apologize for calling you a crappy Captain_Planet
<Captain_Planet> ive made a mockery of all your business math bluster etc. youve typed out a load of irrelevant nonsense
<n|ne> need more?
<Captain_Planet> do you apologise for asking if i have a crappy life, too?
<n|ne> apologize for guessing that, you mean? no
<n|ne> it's pretty clear that was a brilliant guess
<n|ne> you're a miserable fuck lol
<n|ne> but at least you make an interesting little debate opponent
<n|ne> however... i'm bored with it now, so... goodbye.
<Captain_Planet> youre just in a huff now lol

Death of a Mango

<n|ne> my mango tree is dying
<n|ne> i think there's nothing i can do about it
<n|ne> sad faces
<n|ne> it was so large and full of life
<n|ne> then i transplanted it into a larger pot
<n|ne> and over the course of 6 months, all its leaves have fallen
<Amy_> and it died
<n|ne> or, well, almost all
<n|ne> those that haven't look very very bad
<n|ne> 80% of it is gone
<Amy_> no hope for reviving it?
* n|ne shrugs
<n|ne> i'm not sure i want it
<n|ne> i look at it and think... what if it dies?
<n|ne> maybe i'll be heart-broken
<n|ne> or maybe i'll just have one less worry
<n|ne> anyway, there's nothing i can do
<Amy_> I see.
<n|ne> i haven't got the heart to pull it up
<n|ne> shake off it's roots
<n|ne> toss it out
<n|ne> i don't know whether to water it, put some kind of plant food on it
<n|ne> i'm guessing re-potting it would be bad lol
<n|ne> so day after day, i sit and watch it wither... the leaves get crunchy, or just fall off.
<Amy_> try to save it, then
<n|ne> what do you recommend?
<n|ne> i could talk to it, i guess.
<n|ne> i could say "Look, little mango... Do you want this?"
<n|ne> i could say "If you want this, you're going to have to make an effort."
<Amy_> I'm not much of a plant expert. Let me call my dad.
<n|ne> lol no
* n|ne hugs you
<n|ne> you're very sweet

They Live

<Covenant> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKEtft8TGEo
<Covenant> It satirizes the greedy consumerism of the west
<Covenant> So bad that alien invaders have taken over and taken away the rights of the people to make their own decisions.
<Covenant> Everyone has been dulled and is being brainwashed by subliminal messages of advertising that instill a sense of obedience in the alien masters.
<Covenant> People have so been dulled they can't notice what is going on
<Covenant> They have become apathetic to the plight of the people
<Covenant> All because of a greedy culture of buying and selling products
<Covenant> The sunglasses show what the real world is like and makes things clear.
<n|ne> and the movie is called "They"?
<Covenant> They Live
<Covenant> by John Carpenter who also directed Halloween and The Thing
<Covenant> "Much of the film echoes themes of mindless consumption, which is revealed to be engineered through the media and advertising. The parallel to American society was noted by social policy researcher and historian Paul Street."
<n|ne> Sounds brilliant, but looks too silly for my tastes. I'd prefer a less goofy presentation of the idea.

<Guest_339> so
<Wednesday> it's more likely to give you pain, the condition you're in now.
<Guest_339> its not good to have a bf
<Wednesday> i didn't say that
<Wednesday> it'll be good for you when you're stronger
<Wednesday> it's bad for you now, while you're weak.

Mindfulness, Emotion, and Necessary Lessons

<Amy_> What do you need?
<Scott> what i told you earlier
<Scott> about the tension
<Scott> watching it all happen makes me tense, so i need to learn why and correct tht
<Scott> a great soldier is never aggressive; a good fighter is never angry;
<Scott> maybe a good ~ is never tense
<Amy_> lol
<Amy_> Tense is not bad you know. It signals that there is a problem. And it signals that solutions can be devised.
<Scott> i don't have a problem with emotions - only with letting them control me
<Amy_> Your emotions are turned inwards.
<Scott> i don't know what that means
* Amy_ has quit (Connection closed)
<Amy_> I meant that, I think, it's a theory, your emotions are um, how to explain. You order your emotions inwards. Inside of you. It's a very strong aspect of you. You have to have order in your own emotions. And only after that are you precoccupied to deal with the outside world.
<Scott> it's more like this: I used to act immediately on my emotions, and the result was that my world was ripped apart.
<Scott> i ruined a lot
<Amy_> Yes, because you neglected ordering your emotions inside, maybe.
<Scott> i suspect that overcoming the effects of the tension will come from understanding its cause and will have the effect of disapating the tension in these kinds of situations
<Amy_> Tension, like pain is a warning.
<Scott> yes, i understand your point
<Scott> but if i don't need the warning, maybe i won't have to feel it so much.
<Scott> for example...
<Scott> for example, yesterday i was cooking on my griddle
<Scott> i touched the back of the griddle to move it forward and, instantly remembering that this could be foolish, pulled my hand away
<Scott> it's a good thing, too, because the metal was very hot
<Scott> the pain didn't come for over a second, but it was severe
<Scott> had i waited for the pain, i'd have taken serious damage to my finger
<Scott> as it was, it hurt for quite a while, but didn't blister
<Scott> the pain was bearable
<Scott> so... yes, we learn from pain, and from tension, to avoid the circumstances that cause them, or to move properly to minimize any damage
<Scott> the end.
<Scott> lol
<Amy_> Yes.
<Amy_> Exactly.
<Amy_> Lol.
<Amy_> But you want to get rid of that tension.
<Amy_> But you see the outer problems based on how much it affects your feelings.
<Scott> i also want to develope the mindfulness that keeps me from touching the hot metal in the first place.
<Scott> develop
<Amy_> Hm, okay.
<Scott> :) you understand
<Scott> you're right though - it's good that we can't just cut off the things we don't like. they're there to teach us.

What is our one demand?

<LadyMarmalade> where is the topic?
<nine> oh
<nine> it's gone
<nine> i'll find it
* nine has changed the topic to: http://fryeblog.blog.lib.mcmaster.ca/files/2011/11/occupy-wall-street-poster.jpg
<nine> My current favorite picture in the world
<LadyMarmalade> it's awesome
<nine> i think it's very beautiful and really stands for the state of the world in a weird way
<nine> I keep thinking how fast that monstrous, raging bull must be going - jerking around, accelerating in all directions, all that raw, mad, unbridled power; smoke all around, PeaceKeepers marching in behind; But there on top, calm, poised, tender, elegant, disciplined, she magically keeps her place.
<nine> The bull can't shake her any more than he could shake watchful eyes resting on him, following him wherever he goes.
<LadyMarmalade> ooh
<LadyMarmalade> really
<LadyMarmalade> yes it is this way
<nine> What is our one demand?
<nine> I say, our one demand should be not to the 1%, but to the 99% - Watch. Never stop watching. Pay attention. Speak out. Do Your Part in Democracy!!!
<nine> You have no idea what i'm talking about, huh?
<nine> lol
<LadyMarmalade> lol
<LadyMarmalade> I do
<LadyMarmalade> have a clue
<nine> someday i'll make a speech in front of a huge crowd.

And a dish-washer.

<MrChips> i got a new lawn mower
<MrChips> a zero turn
<MrChips> its fast
<n|ne> nice
<n|ne> i sure could use a big mower where i am
<n|ne> and a tiller
<n|ne> and a tractor
<n|ne> and three gorgeous redheads
<n|ne> and a gibson SG
<n|ne> and a wicked cool space ship like Serenety or the millennium falcon
<n|ne> and a working chainsaw
<n|ne> and a personal seceretary to keep track of all my receipts and do my taxes and get good tax breaks for me and keep track of where all my stuff is because i fucking lose everything - i just set it down and then i can't find it - and to make sure i pay all my bills on time and don't get overdrawn (because i always forget to pay stuff) and to make sure i'm eating healthy especially when i'm traveling a lot (because i tend to eat potato chips and candy bars for too many meals when I'm traveling) and to read to me aloud from whichever books i pick while i'm doing things like gardening or dishes.

The Comfort of Hell

<mipsy> oh yeah, you know what i dreamt? i dreamt i went swimming in a pool, and i was drifting along for a bit, under the water, in de middle part of the pool, when i noticed some women, floating around, aimlessly, lost, then i went deeper under the water, to the bottom, and you know what was there? hell, and i realized, that there was a certain comfort and allure to being there, and that if i wasn't careful i could never again rise to the surface, at that moment my fear jolted me up, up!! and as i resurfaced, i was so relieved.... that's it!
<n|ne> wow
<n|ne> that's a pretty amazing dream
<n|ne> i love the bit about "certain comfort"
<mipsy> yeah, i thought so too! that's why i remembered
<n|ne> so true, isn't it?
<mipsy> yeah
