I'd copy many of them and attach them together using an invisible prim so they were one object. Then I would fly them in formation like a display team.

I was going to say something similar, that he seems flabbergasted that anyone would DARE not agree with him, share his beliefs, or be sufficiently awed by his admittedly diverse interests. I said very early it's not what you say it's HOW you are saying it.



This is only half true ...however, I AM flabbergasted that NO ONE, NOT ONE OF YOU is behind me...now THAT is frustrating.

You all have this freak'in mob-mentality against me...you know what, I'm kinda sick of it. Not one of you has the insight, or balls to stand up for me.

Why would we stand up for someone we believe to be entirely in the wrong? That is not lack of courage or insight, that's just good sense.

lol.

My WWE comment was in context...you missed that I guess.
...
Find a quote of mine that I have said that (and quote the WHOLE text please, and keep it in context--no skewing)



You missed this line:

From: Trout Recreant

A line of t-shirts with out-of-context Michael Bigwig quotes.


See - that was crucial to the joke. You can't miss that part or it isn't funny.

I can see you're trying to drive a hard bargain. OK, I can play that game. I'll give you 10%, two bipanes and one of my Patented L. Ron Hubbard Soul Detection Contrapulators (no transfer)(no copy) as soon as I invent it.

It also tests if tomatoes feel pain. Apparently they do.

Surely an individual tomato would not have soul in itself? The tomato is just part of the plant. That would be like my liver having its own soul.

That's because not one of us has the same belief as you do. It's okay, Mike!

Apparently we all have the insight and balls to stand up to you. We're all coming up with different reasons why we don't agree with you and you're getting upset about it.

I think you better quit while you're ahead, Mike. It's okay to believe something different than someone else. That's actually one of the big things that the US has that a lot of Eastern "enlightened" countries don't have!

Hey, I read "The Secret" I'm totally down with you Cherry. The power of attraction is the most powerful force in the Universe--it works every time (whether we want it to or not, it doesn't care about 'good' or 'bad', it brings to us what we think and feel)



Just FYI, the Strong Force is actually the most powerful force in the universe. Gravity is pretty low on the scale of things. :p

Let me clear this up. I don't make anybody feel bad about their beliefs. That's exactly what I'm fighting against. How can you claim this? The problem I have is with people being mean, critical, flaming, and purposefully difficult.

I'm not the one saying, "You're wrong." -- You guys are. I'm simply asking you to open your mind. I'm not being a jerk...but a lot of you are. That's one of the problems. I never tell anyone they need to believe in something, or they are wrong. Find a quote of mine that I have said that (and quote the WHOLE text please, and keep it in context--no skewing)

:)


Mike, I sincerely believe you aren't doing that. But your posts come off as condescending, self serving, sermons almost. It looks like your are not asking us to open our minds for our own benefit, rather that we must do so because what we belive is wrong. That may not be your intent, but that's how it keeps appearing.

According to Einstein, Compound Interest is the strongest force in the universe. He knew about such things.

Mike, see the problem is that you are making it all about YOU instead of the ideas. Many of us hold Eastern Philosophies in just as high regard as Western. However, if you are asking people to support you behaving like an ass about it, then this is the result you get.

Ok.

Last thing I'll tell you all, and I hope you take away with you something.

Life isn't about money, greed, or economy. Life isn't about the table being solid. Life isn't about us being "meat on a stick." Life is so much more...and we will never evolve spiritually if you can't understand this.

EDIT: You guys are right about something. I'm too overzealous. I'm just really passionate, and I feel like the entire forum is so westernized...it's frustrating.

Please don't tell me I"m being an ass though...because a LOT of you are being even more assish than I am.

People have souls, and when you really think about it aren't we all just tomatoes on the plant of humanity? (ech - I just made my own skin crawl)

BTW, I'm developing an Xcite compatible fully interactive prim liver. I don't know if you're in the market, but I'll be releasing the beta soon. Only 1500L, but for you, I'll let it go for 1200 some newbie hair and your biplane.

It's like Goji berries. They must be good for us because they're from the Mysterious East and are therefore Exotic, which is another word for superior in today's lexicon. Nevermind the fact that the blackberries and Raspberries that grow wild along the hedgerows of England and the blueberries that are so common as to practically be a weed in North America contain just as many vitamins an anti-oxidants at a quarter the price.

Ok, I'm logging off, cancelling my SL account and running my computer over with my SUV. Squeeze's last post is almost exactly what crossed my mind. I'm very frightened.

Thankyou for sharing. I found absolutely nothing in that statement I could agree with. Thankyou anyway.

You can set up a SL crop dusting business and earn Lindens by..um..dusting crops or something.




Can we dust the Cornfield too? Or is that just for griefers and we don't care if the corn has nasty bugs?

Ummm....what will it do exactly. Do we have prim hormones for it to regulate or prim bodyfat for it to metabolise? You can't think of these things in isolation, you need to think in context of other products it needs to interact with.

Wow, you guys. Would you DARE go on a forum and post that Christianity is "hippie bullshit?"


Yes, I would (minus the hippie part).

From: Michael Bigwig

Incredible. It's NOT hippie bullshit...it's just as scientific as it is spiritual. If you knew that, or were capable of understanding that...you wouldn't have posted what you did.

Incredible. This is The Secret in action...lol.


Of course, everyone who buys into cult stuff gets to feel superior to us poor benighted fools who have nothing but empiricism to go on.

The last straw for me, with this newage victim blaming, was listening to people use it to blame cancer victims for getting sick.

Hint: the modern outbreak of cancer is more likely a result of unprecedented levels of pollution, which the powers-that-be try to deny, and our extended lifespan, which gives DNA more time to go bad.

But no, it's so easy to blame the victim for everything that goes wrong in their life.. you just weren't positive enough! I'm calling B.S.

Humans do NOT have unlimited power in this mortal life.

I agreed with just about everything in that post. I just find it silly that people think a capitalist, marketed, packaged, pseudo-spiritual package that you have to pay for as advertised on TV will help you evolve spiritually.

Does that chick have an HDTV or an SUV in her modest-yet-somewhat-palacial Australian estate?
