It rolled off the deck as the Truman made a very sharp turn due to an incoming missile warning. It was being towed, on deck, so it wasn't tethered down. -

Florida man says "I run the country and the world"
He is the POTUS so he does run the country and the US is the most powerful nation on Earth so your thread although obviously started for those with the syndrome has a reasonably accurate title. -

Are you also a firm believer in Peak Oil? Or do you believe that trees are a renewable resource to be harvested? Or.... What, exactly, is it that you believe? Do you believe in ...for example.... The Theory of Evolution? -

Bow your head with great respect
This was in response to : "Known as the Tripitaka, the sacred texts of Buddhism are broken down into three sections known as baskets. Referred to in the West as the Three Baskets, the Tripitaka includes the Vinaya Pitaka, the Sutta Pitaka, and the Abhidhamma Pitaka." I agree the average Buddhist doesn't know about all these texts. But Buddhism isn't just what westerners read about in books. Buddhism may just be what Buddhists think it is. And a lot of Buddhists think it is amulets, and worship of Rama V, and spirit houses, and shrines to Ganesha and anything else they want to throw in the mix. The thing is that monks in universities and professors of Buddhism have one idea but once the thing is out in the wild it morphs as people want it to. Do all Catholics know that the Perpetual Virginity of Mary is Catholic doctrine? Do theologians at the Vatican know that if you bury a statue of Saint Joseph upside down in the yard it will assure that you sell your house at a good price? Which one of these is Catholicism? Both? Neither? What religious intellectuals think and what the everyday believer thinks are two different things. You didn't find any Buddhism here? I'm sorry you were disappointed.
