Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom"

[Alanzo]

I've been here for over two months now.

Jim blew long ago with some hippie chick named "Sunshine" who wandered in with a big bag of denk.

Mutual of Omaha canceled my contract. But I still have all my camera and sound equipment here at the ready. An older divorced woman comes by in a Jeep to visit me every once in a while with a bottle of Scotch, so I'm doing okay.

I've had to scrounge around for food from time to time. I've found that these little lizards that run through the cactii can be very tasty with some of the wild flowers that grow in this area.

I just know that a real live Scientology Personality will wander into my camp and I can get one on film. Then those bastards at Mutual of Omaha will have to hire me back, or else I'm going straight to Animal Planet with my footage and they can go hang.

Watching and waiting....

This is Marlin Perkins, of Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom" signing off for the night....

I viewed this thread at the request of Alanzo, but it seems rather dull.

Is that considered a "win"?

Hi there, BT!

Have a seat over here at the picnic table. (Jeezus! Jim!!! Put down the bong and get the cameras rolling!)

Well BT. I'm so glad you came today. I'm wondering if I can ask you a series of questions.

1. What do you consider the most important purposes and goals for mankind to follow and accomplish?

2. Are you aware of any philosophers who might help us out in that endeavor?

3. Of the following areas, which are most important for a person to concentrate on: Ethics, Play, Love, Compassion, or Survival?

4. Why did you pick the answer you did in #3?

5. Do you consider that there are some philosophers who have been given the shaft by the academic community?

6. Which ones?

7. Why do you think that is?

8. If you had a serious situation that you had to handle in your life, and there was no known LRH reference on how to handle it, what would you do?

9. If there was a serious situation that you had to handle in your life, and there was a reference from L Ron Hubbard on how to handle it, would you follow Hubbard's reference, or think up something else to do instead?

10. Why or why not?

I appreciate any time you may give us.

I have a tight TM and really really thank you for helping out.

Hi there, BT!

Have a seat over here at the picnic table. (Jeezus! Jim!!! Put down the bong and get the cameras rolling!)

I'd much rather sit on your face, if that's OK with you. I had beans last night.

Well BT. I'm so glad you came today. I'm wondering if I can ask you a series of questions.

Sure thing, mutha-sucka! I'm glad I came too.

1. What do you consider the most important purposes and goals for mankind to follow and accomplish?

Good question! I guess technological advances, solving world hunger, crime...etc. you know, remedying the many "ills of man" that only the most observant are able to see.

Either those things, or blood-ragging all over a message board. Your choice here, mate.

2. Are you aware of any philosophers who might help us out in that endeavor?

I think many philosophers of the past, present & future would help out with those endeavors. Many of the great philosophers have attempted to solve these problems. And if they can't, they can at least chip in at the soup kitchen.

3. Of the following areas, which are most important for a person to concentrate on: Ethics, Play, Love, Compassion, or Survival?

Are you asking me to speak generally for the billions of people on the Earth?

4. Why did you pick the answer you did in #3?

N/A

5. Do you consider that there are some philosophers who have been given the shaft by the academic community?

Yes.

6. Which ones?

Good ol' Mahatma. And the guy on the Uncle Ben's rice box. (see my profile picture)

7. Why do you think that is?

Not sure. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that it was racism against our Middle Eastern/African brothers.

8. If you had a serious situation that you had to handle in your life, and there was no known LRH reference on how to handle it, what would you do?

Good question...probably just stroke my meat to internet porn. And then come blood-ragging on a message board.

9. If there was a serious situation that you had to handle in your life, and there was a reference from L Ron Hubbard on how to handle it, would you follow Hubbard's reference, or think up something else to do instead?

Depends on what worked. But I guess I would re-invent the wheel.

10. Why or why not?

Because it depends on what worked.

I appreciate any time you may give us.

I have a tight TM and really really thank you for helping out.

Marlin P.

No problem! I hope I helped you understand my nature as a being. Will you be issuing an authoritative dissertation?

If so, I look forward to it.

And remember....

[Alanzo]

I'd much rather sit on your face, if that's OK with you. I had beans last night.

Oh my. Did you just express a desire to fart in my face? What do you hope to accomplish there?

Good question! I guess technological advances, solving world hunger, crime...etc. you know, remedying the many "ills of man" that only the most observant are able to see.

Are there ills of man that the least observant can not see?

Which ones are those?

I think many philosophers of the past, present & future would help out with those endeavors. Many of the great philosophers have attempted to solve these problems. And if they can't, they can at least chip in at the soup kitchen.

Is there any one particular philosopher who you believe came closer than anyone else to solving these problems?

Are you asking me to speak generally for the billions of people on the Earth?

Well, obviously, if you have the true answer, wouldn't that true answer apply both generally and to the billions of people on Earth?

Yes?

I'll ask again:

3. Of the following areas, which are most important for a person to concentrate on: Ethics, Play, Love, Compassion, or Survival?

and

4. Why did you pick the answer you did in #3?

Yes. Good ol' Mahatma.

You mean Mahatma Gandhi?

How was he shafted by the academic community?

Do you know of any other philosopher who got shafted by the academic community?

And the guy on the Uncle Ben's rice box. (see my profile picture)

Very nice picture. How was he a philosopher?

Not sure. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that it was racism against our Middle Eastern/African brothers.

Did he have a philosophy, or was he just shafted because he was black?

Good question...probably just stroke my meat to internet porn. And then come blood-ragging on a message board.

What is blood ragging?

Is that like being a "victim"?

Depends on what worked. But I guess I would re-invent the wheel. ....Because it depends on what worked.

In your experience, have you ever seen a reference from LRH that did not work?

No problem! I hope I helped you understand my nature as a being. Will you be issuing an authoritative dissertation?

If so, I look forward to it.

And remember....

I think I understand your nature as a being. Wasn't it written in an HCOB called "The Nature of a Being?"

[Beef Terminal]

Oh my. Did you just express a desire to fart in my face? What do you hope to accomplish there?

Naah, I was just having fun, mate.

Are there ills of man that the least observant can not see?

Which ones are those?

Probably, but again, you are asking me to speak for people that I'm not.

Is there any one particular philosopher who you believe came closer than anyone else to solving these problems?

Me. I think potatoes would solve world hunger. And I think LRH came a little closer than the guy on the Uncle Ben's box...but only by minutae.

Well, obviously, if you have the true answer, wouldn't that true answer apply both generally and to the billions of people on Earth?

I guess. But I never said I had the "true answer". Do you?

I'll ask again:

3. Of the following areas, which are most important for a person to concentrate on: Ethics, Play, Love, Compassion, or Survival?

Your auditor training paid off mightily! I would have to say all of them for a well-rounded, puffed out being. You know, sacrificing the horse for the cart type thang!

4. Why did you pick the answer you did in #3?

Because I think they're ALL important, mate. What about you?

You mean Mahatma Gandhi?

How was he shafted by the academic community?

Sorry, I meant Jesus. And who is "the academic community"? Can you name some names?

Do you know of any other philosopher who got shafted by the academic community?

See above.

Very nice picture. How was he a philosopher?

Thanks! Because he got it "perfect every time."

Did he have a philosophy, or was he just shafted because he was black?

I dunno, mate! I wasn't there.

What is blood ragging?

Is that like being a "victim"?

Sorta. It means (to me) whining and not doing anything to repair the problem one is whining about.

In your experience, have you ever seen a reference from LRH that did not work?

I haven't applied every single LRH reference (much to the disdain of my parents), but I would suspect that some do and some don't. One must also factor in user headspace and maybe some other factors.

I think I understand your nature as a being. Wasn't it written in an HCOB called "The Nature of a Being?"

Maybe, but it could be one of the LRH references that doesn't work/apply. Or is that one you found that DOES work?

That would seem the wreck the theory that BT is an OSA troll. :D

[Zinjifar]

I kind of assume you're kidding, (or just having fun) but, do you really believe what people tell you? Religiously?

Only you, Zinj.

Yes, it was an attempt at humor, now ruined by your post.

On a slightly less silly note: I think people are weird (not necessarily a bad thing). As a result I tend to come to the conclusion that a poster is an OSA stooge later than others. Seems like I cocked up on Eamonn Gosney, but I'm not changing my MO.

Only if it denigrates Scientology or Hubbard...other than that, no.
