Live and let live...

[Gary Childress]

May we discuss?

I am not making this a "red diamond" thread because I realize many of us may be "angry" right now and many of us may feel misguided or unsure about what is going on in the world. HOWEVER, general forum rules regarding respect of others obviously apply.

Thank you.

Is this about bombing runs in Iraq?

At what point is someone obliged NOT to "live and let live"?

 

[Gary Childress]

No Borachio, this debate may not be for you. This debate is only for people who believe in "live and let live". You may participate as you wish but I will not participate "with you" in your discussion. You may call me whatever name you wish. I will not respond to you further until I hear you talking "my language".

Borachio name calling?! Could you point those of us who has not participated to the threads leading up to this?

This is not about "name calling" and who participated in it either Loppan Torkel. This thread is for those who speak the language of "live and let live."

For breakfast I have cut back today. I have eaten a single scrambled egg cooked in a microwave. Anyone else out there trying to "cut back"? I may eat something for lunch but I am not 100% sure yet.

Could you give this little more substance? I have never heard of anybody speaking of that language.

You mean you have eaten one egg instead of two?

Actually there are microorganisms in the air. You kill them just by breathing. Its the way the cookie crumbles. More love less greed or some such will suffice regarded the human life, me thinks.

And Mr. B. is the most live and let live type of person I ever met on OT. He does exactly that. How come he is talking a different language?

<nvm>

Yes. I often eat two or three for breakfast or sometime something completely different. But now I realize I should eat only one egg today. I may have lunch but I am not 100% sure I will yet. I have to take it a step at a time. tomorrow I'll try to eat half an egg for breakfast maybe if I can do it.

Sorry Loppan, I did not mean to exclude you. Please post. I will not be offended or put off by it. At this point my "being" (that which cares about being called a name) is numb. If it is something I disagree with I will just not answer.

COOPERATION PEOPLE...COOPERATION...COOPERATION. It is the only thing that we can do to solve the situation. We must man our posts. And our "posts" are to LIVE AND LET LIVE...

LIVE AND LET LIVE.... LIVE AND LET LIVE....LIVE AND LET LIVE....COOPERATION....COOPERATION...COOPERATION....

HOLD BACK THE TIDE AND ONLY ALLOW WHAT IS GOOD TO GO THROUGH. WHAT IS NOT GOOD YOU MAY SAVE TO SHARE AT ANOTHER TIME....DO NOT HAVE TOO MANY CHILDREN. OVER TWO CHILDREN IS TOO MANY. BUT SAVE THE IGNORANT....WE MUST ALSO KNOW WHEN TO QUIT AND WHEN TO START. ALSO DO NOT BUILD TOO MANY HOUSES UNLESS YOU BUILD SOME FOR NATURE ALSO. NATURE IS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SHOULD NOT BE HOMELESS. WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF OUR WORLD AND MUST MAINTAIN IT.

Well, thank you very much Mr Tigranes. You're most kind. I thought we'd fallen out previously for some reason.

I'm frankly astounded that, apparently, this thread isn't for me.

So "live and let live" doesn't apply to me, then. That's sad. And somehow inconsistent. Still, what do I expect from this cruel, cruel world? I'm being... thingied. What's the Greek word? (Dear me, I've forgotten for the moment. I'll remember later. Ostracised! That's it.)

What happens now? Do I get banned from CFC for contravening a thread's rules?

No need to be sorry, I don't take offence that easily, but thanks. I just don't get what to do in this thread.

I'm having a glass of wine before going to bed right now. It's not killing anyone at least.

Hi Tolni, I said "cooperation", not "corporation". A "corporation" (that which I did NOT say) is a business entity, "cooperation" (that which I DID say) is what everyone needs to do to "live and let live".

 

[Bugfatty300]

Well, I live and let other people live. Now if only I could find out how to translate that into a discussion... any suggestions?

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Is this a troll thread?

 

[Loppan Torkel]

I think we're supposed to live more responsibly. Eat less meat and more ecological. ..and perhaps not support warmongering or terrorism, but I'm not sure about that.
