Not christianity Chuckles; christians, they cause all of the problems by misinterpreting the bible/faith/basics ideals of the religion. (No, thank you, I’m not a christian myself, Agnostisism (misspelt) ftw.)
I was a buddhist for a few years but I ended up questioning the point of it all. It’s largely just a morality lesson and any civilised human knows right from wrong without having to label themselves as a subscriber to any religion/philosophy.
And yet…human beings must be taught right from wrong. I have serious doubts as to whether we inherently “know” the difference. This is why there is no universal moral code.
There are many forms of Buddhism, but at its core questioning the point of it all is the point. Buddhism isn’t about mere notions of right and wrong; it’s more practical than that. It’s about a direct experience of what is healthy, and an appreciative awareness of what is beautiful and actual.
.
Buddhism is more about engaging in a practice than it is about subscribing to a philosophy. That practice is about immediacy and honesty; it’s about being open hearted and open minded. Beliefs are things people make up about what is actual; ultimately, Buddhist practice includes letting go of your made up beliefs.
.
The same points can be made of healthy religion, in general, especially the world’s contemplative currents.
Considering more than half the United States are establishing
“cyber-stalking” and “cyber-harassment” laws and penalties, it
kind of actually IS. Electronic or not, its a medium for people
to express themselves, and interact with others. The anonymity
it provides leads those of lesser character, intelligence, self-
esteem, genitalia, and/or social skills to show their true colors.
And you have been showing yours time and time again.
And no one likes your shade of shit brown.
This is not a fail. Unless I’m mistaken that is just a little flood formed due to snow melting or heavy precipitation. I think I can see the grass under the water.
Wise words from dolt.
But when I was refering to islandic people, I meant the people of the South Pacific and those small islands dotted everywhere, who would drown as their islands are flooded.
As mentioned in Al Gore’s pretentious and propgandistic Inconvenient Truth.
i like channel 4′s “the great global warming swindle” which says global warming happens naturally, there’s nothing we can do about it but it’s not going to get that bad and in a few hundred years the world will cool down again
It does happen naturally, the world’s climate fluctuates in cycles over periods of thousands of years (look up Milankovitch Cycles) and this is what causes our ice ages. However, recent warming is an anomaly in the trend and is scientifically proven to be the result of human activity (primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation), and is likely to threaten our way of life.
You can see the effects already and it’s not going to get better unless we change our habits.
Lol, I happen to be watching Top Gear at the mo
Jeremy’s hilarious with his anti-global warming stance, even though it’s only because he’s a petrolhead.
I’d build a house on stilts. It’s be easy to commit diving-off-the-roof fails, I’d save loads due to not needing a burglar alarm, and I’d never, EVER, have to chase off any more bible-thumping nutcases at 8am on a perfectly good weekend morning. House of WIN.
Sad thing is, that’s a lakeside property with a view of the lake on all four sides, and is probably going for as much as that house seen in the background.
This is NOT a good fail. Unless a body of water is state or gov’t owned, land under the body of water is considered just that…land. If you’re buying property that has a lake or river running through it you’re really buying the land under the water. Think about it, lakes rise and fall….if you bought the lake water, does your propery also get bigger and smaller? No.
This is the Chena River in Fairbanks, Alaska. This picture was taken at the end of July, when several days of very heavy rain pushed the area rivers here to flood stage. The picture is of some riverfront land (a little airstrip, actually) which found itself under a foot or two of water.
I didn’t take this picture, but judging by the angle it was taken from the Riverboat Discovery, a local sternwheeler that does trips up and down the river.
Hello there, I couldn’t see any way to contact you, and so I really hope that you read this comment. I own a website covering ladies wetsuits, and thought you would like to exchange links with me. I have entered my contact address in case you choose to get in touch. Thank you.
first!
go to hell!
you´re gay!
Oh so gays should be going to hell now?
Well, there’s this theory…
Stupid Christianity. The cause of all our problems!
I personally believe it’s the people who follow a religion fundamentally.
That too!
Gay is a religion
Get on your knees because it’s communion time!
What’s the matter baby? You’re tremblin Jesus babyyyyyyyyyy!
indeed ’tis
Not christianity Chuckles; christians, they cause all of the problems by misinterpreting the bible/faith/basics ideals of the religion. (No, thank you, I’m not a christian myself, Agnostisism (misspelt) ftw.)
Religion fails, all varieties. Why is it so often that religion and ignorance go hand in hand?
That’s why I encourage Buddhism.
You’re not doing a good enough job then, clearly.
Well, I believe that the human race is nothing more than crops. When we are good enough to be eaten, aliens will attack our planet and eat us. Yey.
Have you read “Under the Skin” by Michael Faber? It is exactly that premise. Hmmmm…..
insANUS
total, burn of the week win. i so lol’d XD
It’s his name. Saying names with varying emphasis is only clever to Pokémon.
I am pleased to see some sardonic wit, thank you for that!
Yes, and it’s mostly because people have a hard time of letting go their iPods.
If I can encourage someone well enough, I get a free computer.
…
The computer that they formerly owned, of course.
I was a buddhist for a few years but I ended up questioning the point of it all. It’s largely just a morality lesson and any civilised human knows right from wrong without having to label themselves as a subscriber to any religion/philosophy.
If civilised humans are that good at knowing what’s good and
what’s bad, why is humanity doing so badly at practically everything?
Because knowing right from wrong is different to acting in the right way. And we are ultimately flawed beings.
And yet…human beings must be taught right from wrong. I have serious doubts as to whether we inherently “know” the difference. This is why there is no universal moral code.
Well “right and wrong” are subjective so it’s a complex topic.
There are many forms of Buddhism, but at its core questioning the point of it all is the point. Buddhism isn’t about mere notions of right and wrong; it’s more practical than that. It’s about a direct experience of what is healthy, and an appreciative awareness of what is beautiful and actual.

Beliefs are things people make up about what is actual; ultimately, Buddhist practice includes letting go of your made up beliefs.
.
The same points can be made of healthy religion, in general, especially the world’s contemplative currents.
On a side note: I never once said I am a Buddhist, I merely said I encourage it.
Why would someone encourage something they don’t believe in?
Well GEE I have a nice political story for y’all if you want to know it.
….
Just reply and I’ll email it to you if I can guess your address!
I met an insomniac, dyslexic agnostic once. He’d stay up all night pondering the existence of Dog.
Did you hear about the dyslexic alcoholic? He choked on his own Vimto.
Justice fail.
Or maybe it’s just the language Christians use that make you look bad?
I am the grrrreat mighty poo and I’m going to throw my shit at you!
Aww, having a bad fur day?
Way to love thy neighbor, Anonymous.
*turns the other cheek*
*gives a nice load*
SERIOUSLY…dude…stay the fûck away from me.
oh my… teh internet is sooo real so serious…

Thanks, Maxwell…I appreciate what you said here.
And I just lodged a harassment complaint against him with the fine Failblog folks, so we’ll see if that helps at all.
Thanks I do my best…. along with my other unsavory habits.
Do you have to be so racist? -_-
If you’re assuming that “Christian” is a race I feel unusual towards the notion of what the hell I would be..
The problems we cause it if U dont have the sufficient capasity of noting that…
shut up satanist!
shut up satanist
Not true, the problems is christians not followng their own faith and setting a bad example for what christianity is truly about.
The cause of all our problems is Vince Offer, you idiot, not God-Books.
actually I´m gay
i just found it funny.
and i want to go to hell!
>D
*Reads Name*
Oh.
*Facepalm*
XD
I wish I was gay and have sex all the time…
you don’t have to wish…
*masturbates!*
So I take this as your coming out then?
I dislike you
balls i thought i had that
People buy river sections…?
Maybe its talking about that house way back there.
The greater fail in this lies in the fact that someone will actually but this land.
IT’S NOT LAND
O RLY??
how do you but something?
I’ll butt you, baby.
*masturbates*
Ill butt you. Let’s All Butt together.
Hey, it has a nice view.
really?
i would have thought the great fail was that someone actually waded out to put that sign there
they probably used a boat orrr how about this … this photo was taken during a flood?
Obviously when they put the sign in that spot it wasn’t under water. Duh.
im constantly amazed by how thick i am
It’s not polite to brag, you know. :p
That wouldn’t be fail! I’d totally buy that… and put my flag on it. I’ll hire a Duck to guard it and he’ll be my army….
I’ll defend Rinuvland to the last!
Not first!
I’ll fist your face in a minute…
… wait a second…
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dude… unnecessarily long comment.
/huggybear facefists
expensive dental work WIN
GO IN DEEP!
Do not try to buy the land. That’s impossible. Only try to see the truth… There is no land.
there is win
But there is no try.
We’re both wrong. The line is “Instead only try to realise the truth…”
*hangs head in shame*
Land, ho!
Hey! Who are you calling a ho?? :p
It’s just wishful thinking. Everyone wants a piece of the sexy Dragon.
*snork*
I’ll just keep my bits and pieces to myself, theng-kew!
:p
lmao
It’s a good deal if you’re a fish. Or Aquaman.
Being Aquaman is never a good deal. Aquaman = FAIL.
Namor the Submariner FTW!
I bet Michael Phelps will buy it
This is not a fail. Unless I’m mistaken that is just a little flood formed due to snow melting or heavy precipitation. I think I can see the grass under the water.
kill joy fail
or win?
Affirmative… double-negatives are always confusing.
So…you’d buy land and build a house on an area that floods like this?
I think I DO see a fail here…:roll:
Smiley fail on me!
*eyeroll at self*
The water is red, the picture must of been taken in Florida or Louisiana or Minnesota from the hurricane Gustav and TS Fay
that’s giving failblog too much credit, it couldn’t be anything that recent… more like Andrew
blood
Then is this a sign of the end of the world?
armagedon-ho
I don’t think either Gustuv, or Fay, or even Andrew made land fall in MINNESOTA…US geography fail…and it’s MUST *HAVE* been taken…not must *of*…
how did minnesota even get in there? was donofdeath thinking mississippi maybe? and then why leave out alabama?
Global warming WIN
Islandic people FAIL
only the weather of Britain and Icland could be so rubbish that ,due to global warming, it will get colder
Wise words from dolt.
But when I was refering to islandic people, I meant the people of the South Pacific and those small islands dotted everywhere, who would drown as their islands are flooded.
As mentioned in Al Gore’s pretentious and propgandistic Inconvenient Truth.

What?!? Mr Sausage stops his chronic masturbation and the world cools off?
no worries *masturbates*
i belive you, i just wanted to be optimistic
As Jeremy Clarkson also mentioned
Lol, I happen to be watching Top Gear at the mo
Jeremy’s hilarious with his anti-global warming stance, even though it’s only because he’s a petrolhead.
i don’t think Clarkson belives half the things he says on top gear: it’s just an act to make the show funnier
Yeah, I’d probably agree with you. A bit of humourous controversy. Same with his newspaper columns.
I’ve read both his ‘world according to Clarkson’ books. They are fascinating, if not extremely anti-French.
Haha yeah, in a very tongue-in-cheek way though. Like most other Brits.
there is water – there might be fishes in it. no land tho.
“Fishes”? Smeagol’s back!
NOBODY CAN HEAR MY COMMENTS!!!
They can, it’s just that they choose to ignore you.
no i READ them
I don’t.
Don’t what?
Blind people can hear your comments.
Land for sailing?
flood plain sailing?
haha win.
Land for sale…
Land for sail…
Land for fail…
Got the joke?
Ok, that was stupid… iFail…
Land for sale, if you can find it…
Sorry, bad joke, has to be said
Anyone have a failboat?
nice.
It drowned.
Aquadump win.
Last!!
People who say that fail just as hard as those who say “FIRST!!!”.
NOT LAST!!!!!!!!!!1one!
It’s waterfront property now… they can probably sell it for 50% more that they would have originally.
than*
really? i thought properties next to eroding shorelines and rivers which flood often were worth less!
I’ll buy 2!
Hope the buyer gets a complimentary wetsuit.
Lake View WIN!!!
Could this be the Aquatic Hermit’s safe haven?
Everyone has a name fail as it isnt a hyperlink…
Is Waterworld getting a sequel?
Land for FAIL.
dibs. i got dibs. its my land now
I would buy that land.
And… I would only go to hell in order to take over, and host massive LAN parties. W00T.
I, too, would buy that land. I’d build me a house-failboat, and live on the water, and call the cops when my neighbors host massive LAN parties.
I’d build a house on stilts. It’s be easy to commit diving-off-the-roof fails, I’d save loads due to not needing a burglar alarm, and I’d never, EVER, have to chase off any more bible-thumping nutcases at 8am on a perfectly good weekend morning. House of WIN.
It was a cash-and-carry sale. The seller was just too lazy to go back out and put a “Sold” sign up.
Sad thing is, that’s a lakeside property with a view of the lake on all four sides, and is probably going for as much as that house seen in the background.
This is NOT a good fail. Unless a body of water is state or gov’t owned, land under the body of water is considered just that…land. If you’re buying property that has a lake or river running through it you’re really buying the land under the water. Think about it, lakes rise and fall….if you bought the lake water, does your propery also get bigger and smaller? No.
So, to me, that sign is reasonable.
Can I interest you in the purchase of a bridge?
Lake win, ackshullyz.
I’d buy it
*masturbates*
Laawlsss
How ’bouts wata 4 sale???
omg i want to buy that land all 1000 square…..centimeters?
This is the Chena River in Fairbanks, Alaska. This picture was taken at the end of July, when several days of very heavy rain pushed the area rivers here to flood stage. The picture is of some riverfront land (a little airstrip, actually) which found itself under a foot or two of water.

Fail

Watefront property!!! I feel a lakehouse comming on!
WOOT WOOT! ahaha i actually just did that

Last!
Ad win. Location fail.
I WANT TO BUY IT! HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? IL PAY EXTRA MONEY!!!!!!!!
I’ll give you $2.99 for that.
I’d buy that for a skittle!
Hello there, I couldn’t see any way to contact you, and so I really hope that you read this comment. I own a website covering ladies wetsuits, and thought you would like to exchange links with me. I have entered my contact address in case you choose to get in touch. Thank you.
Water is the new land, didn’t you know that?
