Wayfarer's Tavern

Ah, I thought I had stepped into some dung there. Lot's of people around here are super sensitive to the mention of it, so I think that's what caught me blind to the humourous intentions. (( Probably didn't spell that right ))

 

by the way, i gotta vent here a second:

I cannot write a paper about a view i do not believe in. I get stuck and what i want to write argues with what I should write for the professor.

What doesn't help is this paper is being written by two other students as well...whom have ideas much different than mine.

Stuck. Suck. Yuck

 

No i actually mean the swine flu...
Did you ever hear about the trouble China had with Mexico?

 

Is this perchance for a world religions course?

 

Yes and no. You could call it Buddhism the religion, or as my professor stressed, it's a philosophy. It's actually both.

 

Yeah it is both, I took a course similar to this last year.

 

I can identify with you completely, I have a teacher that has a different political affiliation than I. However, that doesn't stop them from assigning us with papers that we're supposed to argue against my affiliation with. Now, I suppose this is risky for you to do, but normally I spend the paper explaining why I actually agree with the topic, or in your case, characters.

 

Good hear some identifying I actually am really saying why the group believes what it does about my paper's topic. Sort of a outside, descriptive paper. So far anyway...First time I have done it without comparison or argument, etc.

Flamingo: Nice. I'm taking it to learn about other views, I enjoy hearing about the beliefs of others. And Minny is playing. Go Wild!

 

No I didn’t hear about it. So China had a swine flu problem? I wonder why it didn’t become a pandemic like it has now.

 

I took the course because it filled for one of my core classes. I also took it because I really don't have a religion to call my own. I'm a lost soul in that regard I guess. Let's call it shopping. haha It was a store I left without buying much of anything. I miss the sense of belonging, though.

 

You have no idea how much of a problem I have with this sort of thing. I’ve adopted sort of a libertarian mindset over the years, and it’s nothing but trouble with my professors

 

Again, yes and no.
If you asked China, they had a problem. If you asked the world, no. They had 3 cases. 3. The big deal is when a plane carrying many Mexicans was prohibited from letting the passengers off or into the airport/country. I don't want to guess because my memory of the details is fuzzy but I do remember the Mexican and Chinese governments a little anxious and upset with each other.

 

Shopping, heh. I have many friends who might nod their head to that description.
Buddhism just seemed so empty to me personally.

 

Thanks for relating heh...ah yes.

okay, is there a way to double quote..i hate posting three times in a row

 

It works kinda weird, but click the "+ button beside the quote button

 

One religion seemed to stand out a little more for me, but I still am undecided whether of not to join. I'm weird this way.

 

@ dragongrim
Got it. Thanks

 

I dont think it's weird at all. Heh, the way you worded that makes it sound like joining a club. No offense intended

 

None taken, writing error on my part.

 

You guys could join my camp as a deist.

 

Those are few and far between anymore, most have become pandeists.

 

There is a guy named Jesus I am pretty tight with, thanks

 

Well, I only fit deist or pandeist in the belief in a god through reason. The question of why the universe was created or in what way a god would be interconnected with it I think is unanswerable.

 

Good night everyone. I'll leave you to your serious conversation.

 

Rei! Didn't realize anyone else was around.

Actually, I need to go finish that paper...I cannot dive into much more right now myself.
