Chaos and the Anti-Thread

**Emil El Zapato** · 2nd March 2019, 14:10

Even I consider this a questionable post but here goes:

There is a 6-part documentary on Netflix called 'Wild Wild Country'. It's about the Osho 'cult'. The lady that ran the organization is called 'evil' by the Oregon state attorney. I have worked with a number of Indian women, one of whom was very very sexy...we were friends...

My Gandhi buddy called her shameless, duplicitous, and dishonest. My sister-in-law and several other acquaintances could only be described as 'vicious'. Is that a common characteristic or is it just my 'impression'. I am COMPLETELY open to other impressions or experiences. Any thoughts?

On the Osho thang: There are scenes in the documentary about 'all-out sex orgies', beatings, therapeutic scream fests, uncontrolled physical and emotional orgiastic tantrums. Of course, that has therapeutic effects, but I'm not sure I would recommend it to my neighbors...

I was going to buy a book on The Genesis of the Cosmos .
Give me one or two insights as I might now rather subscribe to Nitflux . Can you tell me whether orgiastic tantrums are legal or contagious ? Would I need to buy any special equipment ?

special equipment is always optional. Orgiastic tantrums are likely legal but one must be careful because it could be contagious. And if determined so, one could be charged with being a public health menace. We only have to recall Typhoid Mary!

Wasn't she the one with the broken spell checker?

Amen to that...

Well, here I am again relating the drama that is part and parcel of my life...

My niece here in the Houston area did a DNA test...23 and me, to get medical information for her kids and new grandkids. My brother became a father at age 15 and got married to her mother at 16. They were divorced a year later after their home was destroyed by a tornado. They split insurance money and their marriage.

Anyway, it turns out my brother is not her biological father (which I sorta figured since 1973 and now it is confirmed). I know her biological father quite well and confronted him about this possibility in 1973. I was good friends with the brothers in the family, my brother was not. He doesn't know yet, so it is a current 'family' secret. My niece and I talked to my sister-in-law (is it possible to follow all this) about getting DNA tests for my brother or their kids. She finally decided to try one of their kids to keep the secret. We are all afraid that my brother will be devastated by the news.

I suggested my sister-in-law try her son (my nephew) to resolve some other issues. She decided on her daughter which kind of surprised me because I thought she would be reluctant to test their daughter because her sister once told me there was some 'uncertainty' about my niece...my sister-in-law...paternity. Oy Vey. Forget to mention my nephew whose mother didn't want to test him because she was afraid what he would find out about his kids.

But anyway, I suggested one of them to resolve the possibility that my brother is not my biological brother...our adoptive family's story has always been that we were bio-brothers with the same mothers. But, it seems there might be some 'confusion' as to who is what in our bio families line. The photo I put up of my 'Sicilian' forebears now seems could be a coincidental resemblance. My supposed biological father would have been 100% sicilian so for my daughter to have only 2% Sardinian genetics seems unlikely because I would be approximately 50%.

My daughter has more 'Native American/Mexican' ancestry than her mother so logic would dictate that she got 'some' from me...

Her closest bio match on Ancestry.com is an individual that has about 8% Native American while predominately Northern European (German) but is not related to the maternal side which is mostly Northern European...My daughter and I are pretty sure that my mother was Northern European (my daughter is 35%) but we are in a quandary about the paternal side. My suspected paternal lineage matches much more closely what my brother's and my actual life skills reflect. If my possible father actually is my father then he matches both of us...wrestler, golden gloves boxing coach, Chairman of the Nebraska Boxing Athletic Commission (and an employee of AT&T), basketball playing relatives, etc. (My brother was voted the best athlete in his high school graduating class and he didn't even graduate because he got married)

Wind's astrology guy says that March is going to be 'crazy'. For Whatever Its Worth: this astrological craziness is taking place in my 5th house, which surprise surprise, rules 'relationships with children'

I once read an article regarding a study done in England where it was determined that a full 30% of children were not the products of their biological parents. Incidentally, it wasn't conducted in a red light district. I remarked to a female friend that there are species of birds that do better than that.

I am thinking that we have more in common with bonobos than chimpanzees.

Why are you so angry and full of hate ?

**Emil El Zapato** · 10th March 2019, 14:11

Brilliant riposte, Christopher...

What's the name of the tactic that gets personal instead of addressing the issue at hand? Oh yeah, shoot the messenger. It's part of the long list of fallacies.

Argument to authority is another fav in this community.

I'm personally quite used to it at this point, though I do miss actual thoughtful commentary at times.

Fallacious arguments are boring.

It's called "ad hominem".

Our best current role model for projection is Trump. He's playing to his base. They project their fears outwards. He projects big league. They love it.

When people project then they're not responsible for what they do because the opposition is so guilty, it's really somehow their fault.

Unfortunately that ends up a devil's bargain. Because what goes around, comes around.

I just discovered that Tucker Carlson's name can be rearranged to spell something different:

Ol' Cracker Nuts.

That's just gut-bustin' funny.

But can you laugh at yourselves ?
I have just discovered that the name of this Forum can be rearranged to spell Monkey House .
That's also just gut- bustin' funny

On reflection it's funnier .
Symbolically and in the post modernistic sense perhaps . With links to PAL's important thoughts relating to bio- diversity and the wonders of God's creation .
And I have a friend who plans to join us . A humble and reserved Trappist monk with philosophical links to ISIS .
