So, you think that half of the respondents on this forum are drunk when they post their anti-TM'r messages and so you're out of here because the people are drunk when they post. I was out of here too, on several occasions, because I thought that all the people posting here were on something, but the only person I thought was a drunk had already addmited as much. Go figure. I always thought most of the people posting here were either drug addicts or reformed drug addicts. Fer sure some are getting high on something - either seratonin on the brain or soma in the gut, or in some cases, just plain old religious ecstasy. This isn't surprising considering that the Marshy probably has more potions in his cupboard than Carter had little liver pills. You can tell by the way they speak, and they think they are cool to use curse words every post. Only teenagers and drunks think that's cool. (actually teenagers don't think its cool). It's supposed to be a family forum but I told my son that she probably wouldn't want her daughter reading the porn here. One informer who apparently is living in France, does tend to cuss a lot and posts here late at night - almost all his messages are from 12:00 - 3:00 AM on Saturday nights. Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to, I guess. I'm outta here, I'm not talking to a bunch of drunks anymore. Good luck! You other TM'rs should consider this also, since you would not converse about enlightenment with a guy in the street who is slurring his speech and waving his arms with a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. What about at a football game?

I tell them that's the way the French eat 'em. Some of the kids that work there tried them that way and got hooked. Now if the croissant were made with real butter and cream cheese as good as what you get in France it would really be something. A real showstopper is if the manager fails to keep 'regular' cream cheese in stock and all they have is 'light' which is awful.

So, exactly, when is it that you get drunk and post, morning or evening? The other Barry said he posts in the morning, but it's night-time over there now. What's up with him posting now?
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Drunks
See Socrates (i.e. Plato's dialogue Symposium). And nobody could give a lecture on enlightenment drunk like Alan Watts (Ted Solomon, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Iowa State, has a great story about this). And then there's the king of all recent spiritual alcoholics (unless you count Charlie Bukowski), Chogyam Trungpa . . . Unfortunately, however, these gents died too soon, as Nietzsche used like to to say. P.S. David Lynch says Bukowski liked TM because it helped him to enjoy drinking more.
