Of course! the acoustics in a concert hall are very different then speakers. But I bet you that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between actual instrumentation and high quality speakers and subs if they were BOTH in a concer

This is not true. Different groups have different behavior. You cannot just broadly point to human behavior and ignore groups. Though given that it was only 4 monks it could be that this doesn't say anything about the group. I didn&#x2

You're just being prideful. Comparing the legitimacy of Buddhism to the Catholic church. Who cares. I'm not comparing such a thing. I am purely asking a fundamental question in the same way Siddhartha asked the question of why doe

Don't pretend to be stupid. Bed time is a loose choice. People don't carry importance or weight in it. That's why it's easily violated. Becoming a monk and a Buddhist is a life choice. It is indeed a contradiction and i

This is off topic. Nobody is worshipping AI here. Take your rebuttal to a thread where they are actually doing this. It's more relevant there. But I bet you'd have a hard time finding that thread because most people on the other e

Perhaps someone from the country itself can answer. Why does someone become a meth head and a Buddhist at the same time? They are contradictory choices. I'm definitely insinuating that the core tenants of the religion by themselves are

But a whole temple ending up like this? It does say something about Buddhism as well as the specific temple where it happened. Why are some temples ok but this one not?

I'm sorry it's not. It's a valid question. Like when you see a Catholic priest molesting kids you have to be absolutely insane to not question the core foundations of the Catholic church if it happens regularly. This desire t

I took it as just an illustration of human snobbery for the sake of snobbery. There are similar experiments. I believe Penn and Teller did an experiment on bottled water to see if anyone at a fancy restaurant could taste how much better art

What can this thing take a picture of that isn't already on google earth? Literally. I mean there's a small chance it floats over area 51 or something like it, but that's slim.

Lots of stretching of the imagination here in attempt to fill in the gaps in your bias. I mean you had to dig for this stuff in order to support your stance. Why not let the facts change your conclusions as an unbiased person should? The fa

No. Absorption rates are different. Liquefied fat of the same calories translates to more fat then plant with the same calories. That's just an extreme example. The real culprit is processed foods.

1 in 3 people in the US are obese. It is not just about eating more calories than needed for a long time. The story is much much more complicated then that given that 1 in 3 people are obese. It's like saying an overdose on heroin is s

Of course. Gotta do class action. The lawyer sues on behalf of MANY people. Then collects a percentage of that. A lawyer will do this and suggest this if he sees it's possible. If not likely he won't take the case.

Lots of lawyers only collect a percentage of your winnings. And courts often award lawyer costs. Find one of those lawyers. For this the incentives are aligned.

No, arbitration companies are deliberately biased against employees. Why? Because most of their income comes from the companies who front the fees for it. A company only fronts fees if they're more likely to win. This isn't theore
