The playbook usually goes like this:

You post a new topic with content diametrically opposed to the majority on this board..or you'll post something new to an existing thread.
If the target(s) don't respond, you'll post again in the same thread so it appears at the top of the forum list as well as the last subject talked about in the community view... Prime example is this thread.. You could have posted all three quotes in one post, but you use the above method for maximum exposure.. smart, but pretty transparent.


You forgot posting a new topic in which there were already 10 other topics on the same subject by box, I was keeping track of them for awhile

The term for such behavior is trolling.

The Term For This Behavior Is "TOADY!"



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

No Cissy, it's your WORDS of hatred that define you!


You've been reduced to calling critics of those thing you cherish "haters".  But...your buddy takes shots at and mocks others personal beliefs in the afterlife...and all I hear are crickets coming from Joey.  

I guess what you consider hating(criticism) is ok in some instances.  

God-Country-Corps...Talk about believing in fairy tales.  That mantra convinces people they have a right to kill somebody if ordered to. It's almost a religious duty.  lol

The way I see it we will know one day if there is or not, I would rather be on Gods good side if there is

and that's how politics/government works too.....hence the story of the golden calf


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Once again you are wrong...it's your WORDS of hatred that define you.
You are not acting as a critic, you are acting as a hater, plain and simple.
Own it, because that's who you are!
As for what others post, why is it that just because Box may post something
that I must add my views? Who elected you the YOU MUST POST police?
What's with the crickets...is that some moronic insinuation that feeds your ego?
The only fairy tales are the ones in that vacuum between your ears.

Bzzzzt! Wrong.

Opinion, not fact.

Anyone who criticizes your beliefs is a hater.

Anyone who criticizes my beliefs is welcome to his opinion.

It's called, live and let live.

It's funny isn't it?  Joey has absolutes in what you can't criticize without being hateful. His opinions about my opinions are absolute.  It's almost scary that people hold such absolute dogmatic beliefs about the military.  And you wonder why the US government is so quick to go to war and kill.  It's a social norm.  If you don't buy into it, you're a social outcast.  If you don't like it, you are supposed to wait 4 years until the next election.

BZZZTTTTT!!!!  Both wrong!
Loser talks for Cissy now...the Butt Buddies have reunited.
Pay attention....WORDS OF HATRED DEFINE WHO YOU ARE!!!
So we have a SPITTER and a HATER...a marriage made in LALA LAND!
If reincarnation is a possibility, it would be poetic justice
that both of you came back as Women Marines.
Now that is hilarious.  Hay Cissy, is Hess punishing you too????

Does Cicero hate the military???
Do his posts show that he has nothing but "hatred" for US troops???

Kind of might lead you to believe when on the topic of the US Military... Cissy is a "HATER".

Buddhists and the Afterlife

In Buddhism, death is not the end of life, it is merely the end of the body we inhabit in this
life, but our spirit will still remain and seek out through the need of attachment, attachment
to a new body and new life. Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation
of positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of ones
past actions.

This would lead to the person to be reborn in one of 6 realms which are; heaven, human beings,
Asura, hungry ghost, animal and hell.  Realms, according to the severity of ones karmic actions,
Buddhists believe however, none of these places are permanent and one does not remain in any
place indefinitely. So we can say that in Buddhism, life does not end, merely goes on in other
forms that are the result of accumulated karma. Buddhism is a belief that emphasizes the
impermanence of lives, including all those beyond the present life.  With this in mind we should
not fear death as it will lead to rebirth.

Hindus and the Afterlife

Hindus seem to universally accept that reincarnation is the result of karma and
the body in which one is reincarnated reflects the quality of karma one has accrued in life.
Like Buddhism the goal for the Hindu is to escape from the cycle of reincarnation. However,
the ways to escape reincarnation and places of escape  are different between Buddhism
and Hinduism.
It is important to keep in mind, when considering the Hindu approaches to the afterlife, that
the Hindu religion is polytheistic, lacks a single central text  and has no specific founder.
Within the Hindu religion there are a diversity of afterlife destinations, and diverse means
to reach those destinations. One thing that distinguishes Hinduism from traditional western
religions (e.g. Christianity) is that this diversity is widely accepted and embraced across
the Hindu faith. For instance, someone seeking afterlife X, through method Y, could freely
and uncritically accept that another Hindu might be seeking another afterlife destination
through other means.
