My old man was meaner than a sack of cat shit in an attic. I never walked totally at ease around him until well after I was discharged. He was a cowboy turned blacksmith so we could live near town for me to go to high school and I think he resented that greatly even though my brother was just 2 years younger and they would have to miove then but . . ..

My mom was/is the best. God bless her for putting up with his ass as long as she did. She was a ranch girl with a high school education and that was it. After she shitcanned his worthless drunk ass she went to nursing school, gradated with a BSN even though she had to stop mid-way to care for her sick mother following her father's sudden death. She returned to get that Bachelor's degree and worked a nurse for many years until er retirement at 65 from Indian Health Service (Navajo - Crownpoint).

BTW she can hit a fastball (rather she could) pitched right down the gun barrel. My dad was an all-state pitcher in Texas and was offered scholarships except for me coming along. He could make me cry when I was little throwing fast balls to me and I was playing first base. Damn. But she could hit off his ass. Then he'd changeup and she would bat southpaw. A little less better average but she could still get hits off his ass. Burned him too.

My guess, and not a demeaning one but insightful I hope, is he is an interested patient wannabe. He is curious as to what makes people tick and is he different than others. Is there a common thread ot there. Just a guess. He's like most of us.

Ok. You have changed your initial position, but I will let it slide. Are there countires where religion is forced on you? Yes. Do you HAVE TO accept them? No. Is it best to keep those thoughts to yourself there? Yes.


BUT, you are attacking religious people here; in a pot forum. I have never seen you ask them, why they believe what they believe or the origin of their religion. Perhaps if they have seen Zeitgeist, and what are their thoughts on that!? Instead, all I have seen you do is demand that they prove god exists using scientific method. You seek these people out, here, in a pot forum. You start threads on the matter. NOBODY is pushing religion on YOU, here, in a pot forum. Do you really think anyone here, in a pot forum, is going to prove god using scientific method? So, why the fuck do you even care what they believe, when they are NOT "pushing" religion on YOU, here, in a pot forum?

If it bothers you so, why not go to Iran and argue your postition with them? Why not go show them the error in their ways?

You're like a virgin saying sex is overrated, because you have never experienced it. You have never experienced a ghost, or paranormal activity, so you insist it does not happen and demand its proof using scientific method. Do you honestly believe that EVERYTHING that we accept as real can be proven using scientific method? Do you not agree that there are things that are reality, that simply cannot be proven using scientific method? Are are you simply being "willfully ignorant"?

Pad, I recently sat next to someone as they died in that very moment. I felt something I don't think science can explain. Do you know that feeling I mean, have you ever had that experience? Do you have children Pad? Were you there when they were born? Pad, do you meditate daily? What do you feel when you come back through your consciouness? Have you ever seen something move while you were sitting in meditation? Like the wall seems to be moving in a way that it can't? Can you tell me why scientifically the wall seemed to move while I was sitting? I've answered your polls and contributed to your threads you should take the time to answer those questions for me please.
