OK, that's a fair criticism. I've had more time to think about this shit than you guys, and I sometimes forget how long it takes to get over believing that you "know" shit. :-) I guess it is fair to say that I sometimes am taken aback by how *long* it takes people to do a little "revisiting of the foundations on which they built their adult lives." Decades seems to me a bit...uh... overlong. > You continue to rail against the shallowness of this site... Not true.

Please give explicit examples. My bet is that you can't. It seems to me that the majority of "lack of tolerance" shown on this forum lately has been aimed primarily at those who don't buy the TM bullsh...uh...I mean Party Line. > When you first came on board, you offered what I guess was > a Buddhist perspective. Never true. That was merely your perception, or bias. > That is long gone. And what is left is just unabridged > cynicism, and a lack of tolerance. Again, get fuckin' specific, dude. My bet is that you can't. You have this subjective impression that I've been displaying a "lack of tolerance" here, but I don't think you can produce an instance of it. Put up or shut up. > But maybe everything seems just hunky dory to you. My life is pretty hunky-dory right now. I don't know about anyone else's, or even my own in the future, but I hope for the best, for all concerned. If that is cynical in your view, so be it. Not my problem.
