And of course you don't expect the donation, otherwise take would be a TAX, but with a tax, if no-one contributes then there are no funds, how do you get over this situation? I know the tax office hopes someone will invest and try the rest in court!!!
what are your donation/no donation percentages?
what is a reasonable tax, I mean donation?  |

David- you are right- there is no choice. If you gave due consideration you would find that fate is real and everything else is inconsequential... that sanity is best served when one would rather be naked in the streets with nothing than have all the toys while condemning the world to hell.
It is a very specific road to freedom... it begins with patience.
Figure out why pride is sin and religion will no longer be needed... have fun usurping.
peace
the problem is pride- affect the problem by ceasing support of pride- all the time we spend trying to survive within Babylon can now be spent on divine inspiration to dig us out of this incredibly grand hole we've dug for ourselves.
Heaven-on-Earth is very real. Freedom is poison to capitalism. Capitalism is fascism. Democracy is fascism (truth is not determined by vote). The fundamental principle of justice is based on the understanding that there is a static truth and if something doesn't adhere to it then it is a lie. It is all really very simple. 'Divinity' is to 'want truth most'. Have patience and you will figure out everything you are supposed to figure out. Suggest patience and rage will turn.
Want truth most and everything falls into place. Enjoy being the eyes and mind of God.
peace

When donations run out the sanctuary lights go out. Donations are not required but I have offered gifts for donations. Sacrament is never denied when available.
I donate the largest percentage of funds myself.

When Hatrackman posts, it kinda puts it all in perspective don't you think?
Pepper I know its hard to understand sometimes, just think what does the government do when the funds run out, tell people "it's lights out until someone pays their tax bill"  .
Until we are in peace with the government, we are unable contribute to democracy.

David, these stereotypes exist because Cannabis makes a number of people realise that they´re "Lazy Bums", i.e. that what they had been busy with so far does not really satisfy them the way they have been told about it. You may want to read on at Robert Pirsig:
| Quote: |
The student’s biggest problem was a slave mentality which had been built into him by years of carrot-and- whip grading, a mule mentality which said, "If you don’t whip me, I won’t work." He didn’t get whipped. He didn’t work. And the cart of civilization, which he supposedly was being trained to pull, was just going to have to creak along a little slower without him.
This is a tragedy, however, only if you presume that the cart of civilization, "the system," is pulled by mules. This is a common, vocational, "location" point of view, but it’s not the Church attitude.
The Church attitude is that civilization, or "the system" or "society" or whatever you want to call it, is best served not by mules but by free men. The purpose of abolishing grades and degrees is not to punish mules or to get rid of them but to provide an environment in which that mule can turn into a free man. |
In this case it´s about quality management in academia, but it applies to the labor markets as well. Which is why I say lasting peace with the government can only be achieved on the base of the Right to be Lazy, which of course requires a downright fundamental rethinking of the concept of taxation.* |

Dude, I take that as an insult. you have never sat down and smoked with me yet you can call me a stereotype.
I'm telling yer you are soooooo wrong!!!!!
you want to struggle to earn thats up to you. 
I think you'll find jesus was a hobo and you all are wanabe jesus's. I've been informed that if you read the bible deep enough that also tells you to sit on your arse and do nothing. personally I wouldn't try it, but that's because the popes there already.
Robert Pirsig: Yer real boring dude I see where you get your bullshit!!! |

What? All I´ve said is that this
| Quote: |
| I won't need to pay so much tax if lazy bums get a job and help society. |
and this
| Quote: |
| What you need to know about cannabis ... Effects Long term - ... Harder to concentrate and feel motivated. |
are statements that relate to each other, and are often present in tandem in the same mind. You asked me to elaborate, so please David what´s wrong? |

Oh I don't know whats wrong, maybe its all the nonsense posts, man they are spinning me out.
I thought you were calling me a stereo type, when in fact I am certainly a complete oddball!!!!
It will be nice when we can talk real shop, without some bible basher jumping in and trying to quote how we are asking to be sent to hell!!!
Sorry Nachtschattenreich, |
