I continue to ask you Turqb - why are you here? If I felt like you, there is no way I would waste my time religiously posting to such a place day after day after day after day as you do. Care to balance this out with what you feel are the positive qualities of FFL that draw you to participate? After all the years you've been here, seems like your "curiosity" about how the "TM community" is faring would have waned. It seems like you would reserve your opinions, articles, funnies, pics, and ramblings for an audience that you respected.

Is there anyone here > under the age of 18? Alternatively, is there anyone here who has achieved an emotional or intellectual age *higher* than 18? :-) I've been kinda dismayed recently to realize that this forum seems to consist of people who believe things that most people on the planet would consider either retarded, or insane, or both. For example: * There are people here who still believe that using muscle power to bounce around on their butts on slabs of foam has the magical ability to end crime and strife and bring about world peace. * There are people here who, when someone tells them that they've been contacted in real time by aliens from the Pleiades, a star cluster so far away that it takes *light* 500 years to travel from there to here, believe every word that these supposed aliens supposedly said, and base important life decisions on their advice. * There are people here whose everyday behavior and ability to hold grudges and act out on them would make junior high school kids ashamed to be seen with them. * There are people who believe that hiring brown-skinned boys from India to chant to non-existent gods and goddesses for them is the way to achieve all their goals and desires in life. * There are people who believe that posting a tasteful photograph of a fully-clothed woman is pornography. My feeling is that this forum would *benefit* from having a few kids on it. Add four or five down-to-earth, feet-on- the-ground modern 15-year-olds to this forum, and both the emotional and intelligence quotient of the group would rise by 10 or more points.
