Reminds me of when they talk about invasive species in Hawaii . . . they never mention the worst of them . . . ;-)

Hopefully when then do come Jeb, there won't be another problem with the early detection warning system you guys had a week or so ago.

You know, if humans are too fuckin stupid to not blow themselves up . . . then I feel the world will be in good hands with the Water Bears who will survive the nuclear winter that follows

Hi Patrick, how's the Raven going? I can't stop shooting for days when I first got my camera, such a good experience.. Would be awesome if we could see some of your videos too!

 

[Wayne Morellini]

You take God back, I'll take back everything I said. Deal? :biggrin:

How can you take back what you never owned?

You do realise fantasy is running rife in this thread Šabović? I thought Eric could outdo me posting, but Zeb is posting even more. Even I've stopped reading it all.

Such niave childish fantasy. I'm supposed to be seeing a movie, maybe it will be more realistic.

I'm too more interested in what Patrick might bring.

Does no helium Raven mean it's going be replaced?

(snip) marriage is based on the spiritual, not the other way about. That was the point, it's not spirtualising something that already is.

But people are trapped in their own self-centredness, often constricted in working together towards the greater good, their own little dieties of self serving, especially atheistic, delusion. One of the things it is all about, is relationship.

Actually . . . your view of marriage seems to be based on your personal spirituality and cultural upbringing. Historically and globally there are as many different reasons to enter into a marriage as there are individuals doing it. The very religious Euro Royals used marriage to create political alliances with little regard to love and spirituality.

Some places in India have Arranged Marriages which, very interestingly, result in equal or better success rates as Marriage for Love. Seems that when two families go through the process of what might work best for their child - it results in a better long-term outcome than the kids alone being drawn to her tits or his abs 'n da club and wanting to get busy resulting in a Libido Marriage ;-)

Add to that stuff like Alliance Theory, Child Marriage, Forced Marriage, Polygamy, Misyar Marriage, Trump Marriage etc and it's easy to see that, when it comes to recognizing the diversity of culture as it relates to the concept of marriage and individual motivations to enter it, people are trapped in their own self-centredness. ;-)

My guess it that marriage serves a basic evolutionary purpose since successfully propagating the species is is always the prime directive of any lifeform. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess why any one couple enters into the Marriage Contract.

Um..."not owning it" didn't stop You from using it. :sneaky2:


Take it back! :biggrin:

Audy,

I can't wait to get it. My wife just got it at the house the other day in NH, and my borther inlaw just sent it via overnight to me here in TX. I should get it in two day's.

DUDE!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Although I don't have my field recorder, or my shotgun mic from the house to get halfway decent audio. So you guys will have to suffer with "scratch" audio for the time being. LOL

I have a guy in my unit that is going to buy my sniper rifle from me, so I can get some other len's and gear......
You have any suggestions on what a good company is for rigging? I found this third party company online last night, you heard anything about them?

Christina,

This was SOOO not my intention when I started this thread. This reminds me of the game we played as a kid- The one where you whisper a saying into the ear of the kid next to you, then that kid says what they hear to the next kid etc... as time goes on, the saying is nothing like it started. LMFAO!!!

Just as technically accurate to real life as well!

You're reading. No, it is the spiritual basis, not my own. As one grows one realises it is not all about people.

Lol. Using it is rather like using the waves, wind, to earth, any overwhelming force that can easily own you rather than you own it. Mentioning is not owning.

 

[Wayne Morellini]

I should state. You realise it's not all about you, your ambitions, your family, your friends, your group, your village/community, your state your country, your planet, your race. The moral force is above that, and the source. Otherwise we can justify wrong and mistreatment to others and other creatures, as not us. Something's are superficial, but the less superficial they are, shouldn't we be more worried about? I mean, you meet people with big ideas, that if they were correct, they should have trouble walking because of ants, trouble washing because of microbes they would kill by the billions, and eating and drinking. But my guess is they would find ways to justify themselves. What is ultimately superficial is superficial. We have revealed that argueebery piece of object unliving is living, then walking on even sterile soil, or a sterile floor is murder murder often to some grain of soil or molecule then.

Not sure, but I think you're describing Jainism

I don't know if they have a concept of a life force in objects and every inanimate object being alive. You are likely to find Indian religions thatfo though. No, it was Indian from the Americas (to not confuse it with 'america' as all north Americans think that means the USA appranrlt, even the Canadians (who don't apparently like being called "Americans"though). :smiley:

 

[Wayne Morellini]

But the issue is, we get all these "white" people walking around telling you it's it, some super spirituality, without thinking about 'it'.

 

[Wayne Morellini]

Anyway. I'm a scientific moral philosopher. I've seen a lot of left wing stuff that is not sort through, and currently know somebody going through of the right wing conspiracy theory stuff. I sit there listening to some pretty extreme stuff, and views they are based on, wondering what happened to this guy, reminding him that just because it appears to be true, Rhody had reported it as apparently true, doesn't mean it is, and you have to sort though the facts to verify, as there are a lot of scam artists (people skeptical cal of morality). Unfortunately, it is like a lifetime of work to go through research and verify the accuracy of claims. Time for done jail time though for these people polluting the politics and truthfulness of life. They just obscure actual conspiracies that maybe happening. People are chasing after vapor, while real things are happening in their own neighbourhoods, which are not so sensational. But the important thing is, what is relative absolute truth (that is relative and absolute not just relatively absolute). My suggestions for camera design is about these things here.

Anyway, these things he brings up are convenient to the groups that support them, reflect the cultural version of bad behavior that support them, act like other groups that do these things are not part of the conspiracy (all done by the target) can be extremely unlikely to unlikely, often just excludes better sides of the target, and are highly unlikely to all be true, or unworkable. The common sorts of regular wide spread practices are highly unlikely to be able to be kept secret as the suggest. It is so unreal in is scope, it seems like a smoke screen that obscures real things. It could be instead more made up of many little biases, half baked ideas, and little smoke screens. It is a bit nuts if it's delusional biase.

Oh, how tastey little morsels of rumours are (I forget the verse).

What field recorder and shotgun are you getting? Or not chosen yet?

If so have a read of my article:

http://ironfilm.co.nz/which-sound-r...various-indie-priced-sound-recorders-in-2017/

Zoom F4 offers INSANE levels of bang for buck!

And the Aputure Deity is very well priced for a budget shotgun. (especially if you get the kit version)

They're a very popular choice. Heaps of people use them. I have a few things from them myself.

For instance this shoulder mount with an integrated VCT plate, which I just *LOVE*:

http://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-vct-14-shoulder-plate-1954.html

Super low price too for it.

Well, if You didn't use it it's the other way round then; it used You, and You are (I hate being the one that breaks it to You) posesed. By it, that is...:rofl:

:thumbsup:

 

[Wayne Morellini]

Lol!, That doesn't actually make sense Šabović.
