I can see their point... if you keep feeding the problem, it will never go away.

Give a man a fish...
Teaching a man to fish doesn't mean shit if you're going to take half of his fish away as a tax for teaching him.
There's only a few choices to pick:

1) Have no fish.
2) Earn an honest half a fish.
3) Earn an dishonest whole fish.
4) Steal a full or half fish.
5) Expect others to give you a free whole or half fish.

I've picked #2 in life. What about you?


Homeless people are not the problem.  The problem is our greed based society that makes people homeless when they can no longer offer the system anything.
I don't really agree with this blanket statement you've placed on every homeless person. Everyone homeless will have their own reasons for their situation.
Example: Let's say a blacksmith refuses to admit that the world doesn't need blacksmiths anymore, he stubbornly refuses to move with the times in another career. No work, no money, loses house etc...
Now, is this society's fault or the ex-blacksmiths?

Oh?  It's dishonest for people to eat the whole fish they catch?

That's a new one.

Yet it's honest for thugs to threaten violence if you don't give them a cut of your fish?

Hmm..

Because potheads are some of the dumbest people I've ever met?

but what about LSD?  it's even worse!!!

Oh yeah, watch out for that LSD!  It's less toxic than vitamin c!

It's was used by scientists whom discovered the double helix structure of DNA during their trip!  Scary!

And of course never touch a marijuana.  Marijuana has never killed a single person.  It promotes brain cell growth and triggers apoptosis (cell death) in cancerous cells.

You don't want to use a safe and effective medicine, now do you?  How would we have a trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry if people could grow a cure their self?

And let's not forget hemp has the capacity to completely replace the oil industry by producing more biomass than any other plant.  And hemp leaves a negative carbon footprint when used as fuel, as hemp absorbs more co2 then it emits as a fuel.

Now we don't want clean air, now do we?

Remember people, alcohol is good.  It kills 150,000 people a year, that's almost a world record next to tobacco!  Yay records!

And it's legal, so it must be good for you.  The government would never legalize harmful substances to perpetuate population control and demonize helpful substances that take away the status quo's power.  They're your friend! Smiley

People will realize another form of greed is not the solution to creating a world of peace and prosperity.

Can you not look any deeper for the reason of homelessness?

I even included the article within a quote bracket.

What you're saying is equivalent to saying quoting people is okay but quoting their entire statement is not.

This is nothing short of censorship, and whichever mod did so gave vod discretion to influence a ban.

What would happen if I flagged vod's shill posts as trolling?  Not shit.
126  Other / Meta / Re: Why was I banned for ten days for posting articles in politics and society? on: November 10, 2014, 12:42:54 AM
That was not the reason I was given for the ban.

And posting articles is not copyright theft, are you fucking serious?

People post articles all the time.  And the people that write those articles do so for them to be spread.  When you just post a link to an article, people complain that it's not included in the post.

I want a valid reason from a moderator or admin, last I checked you were neither vod.

Buy some psychedelics and get really high.
That sounds dangerous.

LSD is less toxic than caffeine and vitamin c.  You would need several thousands of hits to die.  And even then, I would argue that you more so 'let go' than die.

Your brain naturally produces DMT.

Psychedelics are some of the safest substances there are.  A guide is does help though.

Are you implying what one experiences in altered states of consciousness is not real?

If I leave my body and fly around the earth, I'm experiencing phenomena with internal senses.  Everything is real.

I met a man who could see dead people.  He confirmed this when he reunited a passed daughter with her family by taking her back home.  Her mother broke into tears.

Were the posts deleted? I reviewed your posting history and don't see any articles posted in the last 2 pages of your posts.

Yes they were deleted after minutes.

How could you provide proof of something that doesn't exist? Most people who think they've experienced a ghost will just be confusing it with a 'sense' of experiencing one, thus have no proof of their experience.

Is there a difference between sensing something and experiencing something?

You can experience the sensation of having a spooky skeleton in your closet, without actually experiencing having a spooky skeleton in your closet.

But to what degree is it different?

If I see a ghost/spirit/entity, am I not sensing and experiencing it?

There's actually truth to this.  But ultimately it takes true intentions and meditation.  Go to the music festival and you will ascend as the crowd levitates from the power of a synchronized positive feedback loop of love.

I was not caught scamming.  Jesus, even squall said he didn't think it was intentional.

This was directly after I posted the articles, within 2 minutes.

I was banned for 10 days for 'trolling/spamming' for posting the following articles in politics and society:

http://themindunleashed.org/2013/12/36-foods-help-detox-cleanse-entire-body.html
http://earthweareone.com/stanford-scientists-observe-man-travel-out-of-his-body-and-into-space-what-he-saw-was-remarkable/
http://earthweareone.com/new-study-shows-cannabis-does-not-lower-iq-but-drinking-alcohol-does/
http://wakeup-world.com/2012/10/05/eight-ingredients-you-never-want-to-see-on-your-nutrition-label

I think these are the links I posted.

I would like to know why I was banned for presenting informative articles with a link to the source in each one.

At this point it seems to be a form of censorship, directly or not.

I would like to continue posting these articles.  If you feel that they're in the wrong category, you're welcome to move them to a more appropriating category.  I do not see freely speaking of validated, sourced articles on a discussion board as a misuse of the community.

I would appreciate a response addressing the concerns provided.
