Yeah, a 7 really is best case scenario. I get sapiosexuality and all but you also have to taken into effect subjectivity amigo.

Dent, how do you respond to this interesting image that Dirty Harry has unearthed?

Saint DH · 01-10-2013, 08:52 PM

I think the heart of religion, the essence of religion that makes it so great and appealing, is positive thinking.

But positive thinking by itself is pretty hard to do since this world can be such a shithole, so people have religion to help focus their minds on positivity.

Positive thoughts can make all the difference in the world. Not just in how you feel, but how others perceive you and even how well your day goes. It's really powerful shit. That's why this year I was resolutionless until now. This year I'm going to be positive and not dwell on negative shit.

It's really funny to think of all the shit you've said in the past and then read this "positive thinking" stuff.

I know. I have lived many years with lots of negativity. I used to think it made me strong, but as I've lived this way for so many years now, I can see how weak I've become.

It's not going to be easy, but I really want this.

ninjaface · 01-10-2013, 09:09 PM

I can respect that. So much so, that I actually gave your video a chance. That being said, I don't like it.

Saint DH · 01-10-2013, 09:13 PM

The video was a joke. The song is nostalgic to me, but not something that I listen to on a regular basis.

Mr. Blonde · 01-10-2013, 09:17 PM

Thinking positive is a great ste, and I think it will help you achieve a lot better peace of mind. Good luck!

I would also recommend meditation, but one step at a time, I suppose.

Check your ego at the door, mate. Give it to the concierge and put it in the coat room, friend - because we don't have time for that here.

Probably start with medication before meditation.

Why?

Saint DH · 01-10-2013, 10:51 PM

Changing thought patterns and processes is really difficult to do. Mainly because we think constantly and involuntary. I feel like right now, getting inside my head even more than I usually am could cause me to regress. For starters, I think getting out of my head is the best course. Focus on other people. Behave like an extrovert.

Your choice, but I do have to correct you there --the type of meditation I do is focusing on not thinking all the time -- it's basically training for concentration and thinking about nothing at all. You focus on your breath, in and out, the entire time -- you don't think about anything else. It's extraordinarily relaxing and really does help to clear out the mind, but it's very difficult to do.

Anyways, if you want some more info, check this out: How to Meditate : Sam Harris

Mindfulness is simply a state of open, nonjudgmental, and nondiscursive attention to the contents of consciousness, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Cultivating this quality of mind has been shown to modulate pain, mitigate anxiety and depression, improve cognitive function, and even produce changes in gray matter density in regions of the brain related to learning and memory, emotional regulation, and self awareness.

If you want to change your thought and behavior patterns, I'm sorry to say it, but starting from inside your mind is the only way you're doing to do it. That's all I'll say on that, but getting out more and socializing will also definitely help.

Alright I'll check it out.

I didn't notice for a few days but the uploader of the video (some muslim channel) decided to cut her part out, I've saved it and i'll split it and upload her bit soon, it was pretty interesting.
todays episode had one topic to cover the whole hour "Is it time for all religions to accept evolution?"

are there any shows like this in America?

lol.

I wish. Intellectually in-general, the BBC blows US network television out of the fucking water. Colbert and Stewart are, sadly, about the only good thing we've got, but I also don't have cable so I'm not the authority here. But we do have great TV series, I guess.

Our news programs can be okay from time to time, every once in a while we get some decent journalism, even Stewart/Colbert is obviously heavily biased but it's at least funny, informative, and willing to cross lines (under the shield of humor) that network programming cant or won't.

Watching the show now. Cannot believe this is still even a fucking issue in 2013.

No. Do we have any programs like Dent posted in the USA on standard broadcasting or not?

Yes or no answer, to your knowledge.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 01-14-2013, 12:54 AM

No there isn't. You'd pry have to move to Sweden to see anything on par intellectually in-general.

The jury will note that ID is insinuating it doesn't matter that we don't have such quality programming, and that I can still watch it anyways, so that complaining about it is pointless because it's still there. He is also making an atheist/Reddit joke RE: Sweden.

But I disagree with your notion. The fact that we don't have such intellectual programming is very telling of our nation and the people within it. Dent asked a question, and I answered it. You provided nothing of value to the discussion whatsoever.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 01-14-2013, 01:03 AM

Blonde, I don't understand. I've agreed with everything you've said. America sucks, I wish we were as enlightened as countries that are not America.
