A moral question..

I am with Sydni. I grew up in an area where kids got new cars with big bows on them for their 16th birthdays . But, it's not worth loosing karma over asshole punks. (yea, I know I lost a little karma there, but it was in the name of helping someone ).

yes, We should have empathy in our hearts and wish no malice or ill-will. you must remove your hate. remove the desire or wish for others to feel pain. let passion fill you heart. do not hate or hope for others to meet a bad end. pray for those who do wrong.

Thank you Buddah

What are you a christian or something

The only Karma I know of is on Overgrow, and I already have very little, I say wish him what's coming to him.

and . . . if it just so happens that what's coming to him should come to him through you then sobeit.

thanks. Sometimes I think I am the "lone voice crying in the wilderness". i was raised Catholic, but I find much solace in Buddhist teachings. But, If I am driving, say,and carry empathy in my heart i don't wish ill to the one who cut me off or don't use a turn signal, I try to think how they feel, maybe they are in a hurry, or have a sick loved one at home. Then I don't feel anger, I only wish they make it home before i do because they are in such a hurry.

I guess you could say I am a Catholic Buddhist.

Yikes! This sounds like my mom who I remind all the time. The karma meter is always ticking so, you can always gain points. You're not behind, you just need to get started *pats sexdwarf on the pack with a parental and caring look*

By the way, you are way cool

I have to say that I stick with my focus on karma, but that generator was awesome!

There are a lot of younger kids where I live with brand new vehicles driving recklessly. I don't wish death or accidents on them though, just speeding tickets...so many that their parents take their tricked out, low riding, bumble bee sounding cars/trucks/etc. away for a LONG time.

I feel ya on that one. I have 2 nieces under 11 and my best friend has kids.

I've became the "LET'S SEE SOME PARENTING,PEOPLE" kind of guy.

I'm like brodie from Mallrats..."THAT KID IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR!!"

I just recently discovered that the guy lives 2 blocks from me. If I post pictures of headlights busted out..will you guys report me?

Actually, that's not a question of morality, but rather, one of ethics.

Good point.

You are officially my new hero. Damn random asshats. I'm stealing this term and making it big in the Texas Panhandle. Thank you much.

One of my best friends and I were standing out front of his house on a very cozy neighborhood street with many kids living on it. The speed limit is 25 but people would constantly fly down the street doing like 40-45.

Well, he and I were talking to one of his neighbors as this asshole kid comes flying down the street. Without missing a beat in the conversation my friend pulled all of the change out of his pocket and whipped it at the speeding car. The asshole immediately got the hint and slowed the hell down.

Best. Move. Ever.

No. You're wrong if you did something to cause it.

But then, I don't think THOUGHTS are morally wrong, ever. It's what you DO that counts.

I like how you guys on sg help me out..and not hate me. All my friends left me and i'm all alone here..but you guys rock.

If by chance I get married and my lady friend can't make a baby..or i'm shooting blanks..ya'll will be considered..

Except for EnfantTerrible..that guy is creepy

My nephews live in a movie subdivision. Evey house has 2-4 kids who are always outside playing. The parents started parking their cars in the street so that the people driving by would have to slow down because there is not enough room to go fast (they all have mongo SUVs). this pisses off a lot of people who live in other parts of the subdivision, but it has kept the kids safe and made people slow down. Just a non-violent thought

Hahaha, so true. I say don't be afraid to have "bad" thoughts, becides he deserves whatever car wreck he gets into soon if he's taking chances like that.

Very good idea.

But back to the statements involving calling the cops..

This one time I was taking a walk in the park with my ex..and these kids were setting off blackcats in the bird sanctuary.I called the cops and reported them. I'm still proud of that one.
