    Default Take "the Other" to lunch

    Good morning Avalon World

    I was sent this wonderful little clip with the statement: "Saw this, reminded me of you"

    I chuckled watching/listening to her describe herself. I can identify
    As the clip unfolded, I became more and more introspect at the purpose of the message. How quickly our defenses come up, how swiftly we throw sticks and stones and how hastily we judge!

    And so, I gladly share this wonderful clip with the message of Ubuntu: I need you, in order to be me! Knowing that diversity is the one thing we all have in common.

    WOW! What an inspirational video.
    Thank you for posting. ♥


    After watching that, a series of videos I watched recently sprang to mind.
    This chap, Danny Shine, went on holiday and whilst walking in the streets asked people one question (to begin with).
    What I found most fascinating was their reaction. Their faces and their eyes.

    "What is REALLY" going on?"

    I was willing to listen UNTIL she mentioned @ 06.50 mins Quote: "Maybe your Brother-in-Law who does'nt believe in "GLOBAL WARMING"!

    As soon as I heard this 'I switched off Immediately'!

    I am not afraid to say, Unlike Some! That "GLOBAL WARMING" is the Biggest SCAM ever forced upon the entire Human Race, Barre None!

    For those of you who still believe in the 'CON'? With the SO CALLED RISING SEA LEVELS due to GLOBAL WARMING, etc, etc? Tell em I too just bought a Multi-Million $Dollar Beach Front Property right on the Coast with all the $$$Money I made out of this 'SCAM' just like my pal Al Gore did!!!

    Hi Jackovesk.

    Naturally there are buttons that when pushed, make me load my rifle (Al Gore for one *wink) HOWEVER, the message is precisely that: See where the core of your emotion is, and why

    She clearly, purposefully picked that subject.
    Look at your avatar pic. Arent most things an illusion?
    Everyone is paddling as fast as they can, and most canoes are the exactly same.....
    Its your choice entirely, whether you wish to sit in the audience and throw tomoatoes and eggs at the actors on the stage, instead of tending to the weeds in your own garden.

    Sincere thanks for visiting "here" though. Every opinion deserves a platform

    My Emotion has always been on the side of the 'TRUTH', if you bothered to get to know me you would know that is a Fact!

    How Democratic and Condescending of you ViralSpiral...

    Firstly, I will address Why I joined as an Avalon Member. It was because I have always been a strong believer in the "TRUTH"!

    Secondly, back then when I joined there was a limited amount of Avatars left and I chose the NEO Matrix Avatar because it was one of the last remaining Avatars I could choose from!

    Thirdly ViralSpiral, your Condescending Tone just does'nt cut it with me!

    Never do I or have ever used "DoubleSpeak" in any of my posts!

    Most of my fellow Avalonians have always known that I have always spoke the Truth as I know it!

    I will repeat again "GLOBAL WARMING IS A SCAM" and if you believe otherwise, you should start educating yourself!

    Sorry to Upset your AppleCart! But next time 'Think before You Post'!!!

    The only one upsetting anything here is you. I apologise if my post is perceived as being condescending, that was truly not the intention. Seems much humour gets "lost in translation".
    I happen to be on your AppleCart i.r.o global warming, and am certainly no ignoramous in that regard, so I'd like to hold up a mirror...


    in love and light

    Oh maaan............. this reminds me of being in a class once when kids started throwing the text books at each other because the math was just too hard.........

    Quit the book-chucking or leave the classroom. Some of the other pupils want to learn.

    Thankyou.

    Oh ViralSpiral, I loved this C*&p, thanks for posting it.

    The premise is sound, all the bizarre ways we put ourselves in adversarial relationships with our other selves????

    jackovesk, I'm not a Democrat, I don't believe in the Global Warming myth, and also, someday, it would be very cool, and fun for me to take you out to lunch, there is just the coolest pub here, serves awesome catfish, and the microbreweries here are fantastic.

    Loved, the spirit of this video, can't seem to find the heart to quibble over the letters...

    Every speech, clip, or interview like this warms my heart. Especially those similar to what Ineffable Hitchhiker posted. Ordinary, yet knowledgeable people speaking up.

    Knowing that everyday, the number of people waking up continues to grow and grow makes me very hopeful and happy. Who knows, we may get ourselves out of this mess yet... If we manage to survive whatever there is ahead of us.
