I'm tired, grumpy, I got mad at a few of my favourite people today and generally I'm really looking forward to today being over.

Remember the high vibrational being you truly are.
You are light and energy, not this form you currently occupy

Warning: Spoiler!
People who arrive and tell us we're doing us wrong: get over yourself. Like seriously. Today. 10 years of effort have got us where we are. Your refusal to understand more than your day one impression of what we might be is your problem, not ours.
This is the time when you should be learning what we are, rather than telling people who've been here (literally) 100 times longer than you what we are not. I cannot believe you could be so narrow minded already as to feel you know all there is to know, to the extent you are telling others they're wrong about matters of how we practice our faith here. That attitude will get you nowhere.
Meanwhile in the real world we are putting our learning into practice, making a difference, while you bellyache about our insincerity because you expected it to look different.
I realise this is a patience issue with me, as in time you will either learn, or you will leave. My hope is that you realise how closed minded you are being, and, having come to a place of learning, learn.
That includes learning how to show the Temple that welcomed you a little respect.

People who insist that there are no problems because their community continues to exist frustrate me to no end. I still have a family, too, but that's only because we've failed to kill one another by this point.

Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me

I am so disgusted with violent video games and their advertising! What is feeding the players minds when they play these games :evil: and what do people from around the world think of Americans when our commercials are viewed all around the world?

I really begin to appreciate the greatness and might of Russian obscene language culture in recent times. When used accurately and in appropriate situation (read: a total ... fiasco), it has it's, dare I say, beauty. I can't even start to unfold my thoughts that mighty in English. In Russian obscene, we have a concept of "floors" of obscene expression, which means usage in a phrase of phenomena different in language origin. The resulting expressions are akin to art and can be very surrealistic. Compared with common Russian alcoholic, Eminem's obscene expressions feel unimaginative
