Oh. I'm sorry! I get what you're saying. I hate it too! I litterally wouldn't hurt a fly. Makes me sad when my friends hurts mosquitos. I trap it in a glass, and release it outside. IP: Logged |

No offense BR but you're a screen name on the internet. I have no emotional feelings towards you so you might want to get over it. This is death....you're crying over internet posts.

The first of the Buddha's five precepts:1. No killing, Respect for life Points 4 and 5 of the noble eightfold path: 3. Right Speech. By speaking kind and helpful words, we are respected and trusted by everyone. 4. Right Conduct. No matter what we say, others know us from the way we behave. Before we criticize others, we should first see what we do ourselves. A screen name respresents a person. You've seen people cry, and go insane, and leave over lindaland, a person with feelings reads what you write, a person with a much more developed nervous system than an ant. A person that thinks and feels much more than an ant. When you kill an ant, its suffering ends instantly. WHen you say harsh things to a person, it linger and stings over time, they suffer. I hope that you can show compassion towards people the way you show compassion towards the ant you killed. All life has value, even human life, even human life that disagrees with you. I can hear and feel your anger in your post. Your words tell me you are a real person with feelings. Can you tell I'm a real person with feelings who feels compassion towards you? IP: Logged |

in the summer, my aunt's house gets invaded by black ants. when i saw them yesterday in the bathroom, i said to them, you have to get out of here before somebody kills you. there were a couple of them and they heard me because they stopped short walking. now, this morning - i warned them again, i saw them (some of them started scrambling) and started drowning them one by one with the spray bottle. i didn't feel bad because i tried to talk to them yesterday about leaving.

your point is?
Points 4 and 5 of the noble eightfold path:
quote: 3. Right Speech. By speaking kind and helpful words, we are respected and trusted by everyone.
are you a saint? 4. Right Conduct. No matter what we say, others know us from the way we behave. Before we criticize others, we should first see what we do ourselves. u shouldn't talk no offense LOL. You're 2 faced.

Relax. It's a computer. Seriously. Worry about problems that actually happen and affect your real life. If you let the internet world control you then that means you need to suck it up a bit. Don't come acting like you're all nice in here. You're 2 faced and you talk crap to other people on here all the time so take a look at yourself first buddy. Sick it up and quit being so vulnerable over the internet. IP: Logged |

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a hypocrite. I will often lash out at people and criticize them, then preach for people to be nicer to one another.You don't have to be perfect to preach and make a point. Look at all the great men/women in this world who have accomplished great things, but often have a dark side. Everyone is human and everyone messes up. This doesn't mean we shouldn't make statements or try to guide others. My personal opinion is that you respect me. You've mentioned my posts several times, and have referred to me as something of an authority. Moreover, your new username has a piece of my username in it. I think you have a cyber crush on me. You can continue to use the internet and this website as an outlet for your rage, but it's not gonna make you feel any better. In fact practicing rage is just gonna make you more rageful over time.

Rage on the internet/debates about politics on the internet do not affect me once the computer is turned off. Do you think I actually go to sleep thinking about you? ROFlI have a life off this website IP: Logged |

"Wow amisha.People like you are usually the ones I don't care about when they die." How can you SAY such a thing, Blue Baby 143?! I mean, you obviously didn't mean it??? :/ Ok, so maybe she didn't care that the ants died, but c'mon? It might just be because some people are better at making a distance between themselves and what's going on... I mean, ants die everyday. One can't help but to accidentally kill ants once in a while, they're so small! I don't like your agression much either, though I suppose I'm no-one to speak as I can be quite harsh myself sometimes. Anyway, I agree much with most of what BlueRoamer said. It's true you don't have to be perfect yourself to preach! I give advice to people all the time, without even following it myself. It's just because that I know what I should do (following my own advice), but I can't, and so I just hope my friends will do the right thing where I go wrong. Does a criminal have to stop being a criminal in order to tell someone not to become a criminal?? I don't think so. I'm sorry if my words are all confusing right now, I just have a little proble expressing myself atm. IP: Logged |
