DYI - Ethics, Morality, Politics Patriotism and society

I was talking to the admins about this thread and what I was up to here and kept @potroast fully informed about me and my intentions (too informed I'm sure) spent a couple of long nights of the soul talking to an indifferent God. I think I got my point across, enjoyed myself immensely, he might not be omnipotent, but he is now all knowing and the Lord helped me with my knee pain through the long nights praise be to the Almighty. I'm lucky I wasn't reincarnated as a sock puppet.

I figure ya should clear it with the Lord if yer gonna preach, I wouldn't want to get sent to Hell, the spirituality section! Yer resident sky pilot here DYI.

DYI - Do Yerself In and it has several meanings, the first is for me, that's what I'm here for to Do My Self In whittle down my ego and learn, I don't meditate much and I've recently started a regular daily practice, might be a bit more mild mannered in the next week or two as I go in the "bag", again. The things I do for others.

Need to work on a project too and I've been PMing some folks with my plans for the thread. Got shit to do in the real world and the morning was spent in the grow getting ready for a flower cycle. I'll be around in a few days and might even pop by here if I got something funny to say.

This thread is about the title and is now open to be shit all over by trolls and psychos and the generally stupid. Of course normal folks are welcome, adults preferably. We are going to cover topics here at the center of Americas current political and social situation. This thread is about moral and ethical debate, a fancy way of saying right or wrong, good or evil. Open for comments and posting.

Look at this story a 3 min video
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/09/23/reality-check-trump-whistleblower-ukraine-avlon-newday-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/this-week-in-politics/

Do you think the whistle blower is a patriot?
Do you think he is an honest person?
Do you think he is a values driven man?
Do you think he has courage?
Think he's under a lot of stress?
Is he an American hero of the highest order?
Would you like to shake his hand and support him?

Things to think about when reading about this story, he put others before himself, his country, think of him, you owe him.

Ask these same questions about Donald Trump

Courage never goes out of fashion and he's due for future recognition and reward, he earned it.

Who do you think is the most courageous, honest and honorable man/woman?

Does Donald have any courage, values or morals? An empty suit, red tie and big mouth spewing delusional bullshit, what a POTUS, Washington, would have killed him where stood in no time at all.

It would be a duel, but Donald wouldn't be up to it.

Times change values evolve, but people are still much the same.

I would like to send this message to the owner of this forum and would love to talk to my fellow Canadian. Anybody know his email address?

Comments on the above welcome

What is the purpose of this note? Is it a wise thing to do? Could the content be improved

I only bite heads off and make arse holes bleed when they are assholes, fur sure, and I got ways knowing if they are one, but I might have on occasion been mistaken though, we'll see. I don't attack people only ideas, and if they're sensible, I'll even support them. This is debate, not troll wars and I enjoyed that far too much. I'm gonna try real hard to be nicer from here on out, try. Though sitting on my ass fur an hour a day will help a lot in a hurry, and after a time might make me useless as tits on a bull!

Sent a Lama in Winnipeg an email and I'm gonna send him the thread and invited him to come here for Dharma teachings. He might just lurk, dunno he's a world traveler too, but he might forward to his phone, if he got one.

Anybody want to comment on this? Puzzle yer way through this or...

How does this video square with the above cheat sheet? The four noble truths for instance?
Here is Kelly Mcgonigal, my favorite Buddhist nerd on yer brain, easy to follow and worth watching. Think of how the Cheat sheet relates to the video.

Core issues first

Here is another important video for those who train their brains and minds
Do you think this video would be valuable for anybody training their mind?

Some PM text to my confessor, peer and friend around here from a week ago.

Fist we deal with motivation, then with issues when dealing with people who support Trumpism. It is impossible for them to win a moral and ethical argument with a child, if they support Trump. All they can do is lie and throw shit at the wall hoping something sticks. Most simply have their minds and hearts blinded by hatred fear and resentment and turn them selves into suckers and dupes.

Not you, you got a heart and common sense enough not to fuck yourself and country over such nonsense.
I call people like you happy warriors who fight for their country in the only way they no how and in the only place they probably can, their community, right here, one heart and mind at a time. The line between good and evil cuts straight through the human heart buddy and the unhappy warriors are on the other side of it, and reason, facts and logic seldom change hearts and minds, love and understanding do. Though sometimes ya gotta bitch slap the bastards!

I used to be known as Bodhidharma and I'm here to relieve suffering too, my fellow happy warrior, for we are fighting for the soul of a nation it's moment of peril, which is why I'm spewing on here and probably looking like a fucking idiot to most!

I love ethics. Ethics can be a real bitch too. Nothing to comment on at the moment. Interesting thing you've got here?

It's real simple, put others first as your intention, or get a simple list of values and follow them

More confessions from a week ago
This is what happens to me when I get pissed

Through the whole process with him I was open and honest and explained his condition to him fully (or what I thought was wrong with him), I acted out of compassion not malice and don't hate the man, kinda like him and like him better lately. I try to fill my heart with joy buddy and leave no room for hate and malice. But I'm troubled that I did not look closer at the man, but at his behaviors and the suffering it caused, so the usual order of things got mixed up. The more I help others the more joyful and strong I become and if I made an error in this case I feel like shit, in spite of what he did to others. It's what I did to myself that counts and the only thing any of us can change, our selves.

It's called the wind of compassion blowing at my back and filling mt heart with joy, while my mind is crystal clear as are my intentions, the benefit of others.
It's still quiet behind my eyeballs and my house is silent too, when I want stimulation, I got a new hobby, drone flying, works great fur a 65 year old fart with bad knees, guess how I got those!

This is illegal where I live same thing in Norway where this guy does it, posts under another account now...

Think I should break the law like this? I mean I might kill a mountain goat, any aircraft in my AO would be dead meat, there and then, on the mountain, or when the authorities go a hold of them. The only real concerns are forest fires (sometimes ya crash and burn (literally!).

Would I feel too guilty about bending the law like that out in the sticks?

Passion clouds my mind on this issue, but I don't give a fuck

Here is what happens to big ego's in my line of work, look at me as a Dr Willis in the video and the subject who is stupid and gets tied to the chair. It was like that for me! I'm recruiting a few stout lads with strong arms to drag em to the chair here. We'll see if the gentle master can tie the fucker down!

Like my fellow master Buck, big egos are easy prey. It should be fun

This is one of the reasons we don't live in the same country, but he wasn't to blame. Georgie was a real nice guy who pissed blue and went nuts and as he got older the metabolic condition worsened as did his mental state in fits and starts. Blue blood, though most often brown (urine), porphyria .

Though Buck grows such egos real quick with abundant fertilizer and loving care, along with constant attention...
My best lad, real stout fellow, he's the guy with the gag
