    A new movie on VHS ?

    I can't imagine how horrible a VHS tape would look on a modern 4K television. The picture quality was poor to begin with. I know there was a short lived HD VHS format or at least it was experimental. Not sure if a 4K format is practical on the platform or not.

    Philosophy of love.

    Sadly how realistic is it to not romanticize martyrdom? Almost feels like it's built in. Here is an interesting video by a former Christian who explains his own experiences. He actually grew up in a missionary family. Also reading some of the comments, they are pretty harrowing. What kind...

    What are you currently watching?

    It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. The episodes where Mac and Charlie pretend to be dead. I always loved the funeral scene. One of the Mom's sleeping and snoring and the other crying really hysterically with almost no one else in attendance and Charlie and Mac just secretly watching.

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    Hmm.. depends.. if a 5 year old thought he was a tiger I would roll my eyes and laugh it off. If they are saying this at 13 I would be more concerned. Although I imagine these cases are really rare and even the majority of them might actually be a cry for help and be part of a deeper problem...

    Philosophy of love.

    Were your parents also Christian and very serious about the faith? If it helps to paint a picture of my own personal experience with Christians, I was raised non-denominational. Compared to the denominational churches I visited with friends which I found as cold and honestly a little scary, the...

    Will they ever put a McDonald’s in Greenland ?

    We'll have to check to see if the OP finds them worthy or not. Are the Icelandic people worthy of having a McDonald's too? According to Grok they used to have three but lost them. In my humble opinion they already had their chance and lost it.

    Will they ever put a McDonald’s in Greenland ?

    Maybe we can all pitch in and build a McDonalds ourselves in Greenland? Will that make you happy?

    Philosophy of love.

    Fair enough. I haven't really been sure how to respond to this post. Despite being severely psychologically harmed by my Christian upbringing, my Christian upbringing was also simultaneously very loving. I do often feel quite guilty and even like a bad person for questioning the psychology of...

    Philosophy of love.

    Well, that is certainly a saner and healthier interpretation than what I heard growing up. Hard to explain, but I was told and thought turning the other cheek was a psychological mind game. One that would surprise and hopefully cause the aggressor to reflect and feel ashamed of his/her actions...

    Philosophy of love.

    Do you think the call to turn the other cheek interferes with this? Similar sentiments exist in secular circles too, such as the concept of self sacrifice. Not picking on Christianity. While I had a bad experience trying to understand love growing up in a Christian environment, I haven't found...

    Philosophy of love.

    I know the topic of love is an open ended subject. I wasn't really thinking of anything in particular. I am sure this forum probably at least wants us to stay clear of overt sexual types of love, lol. I am interested in common themes people value in love. What is the psychology behind it? Do...

    Philosophy of love.

    I am curious what people's philosophy of love are. Is there any thing that has helped influenced it? Has your philosophy of loved changed throughout the years? Are you still trying to work it out? Are your views different than the norm? Do you disagree with how others view love?

    What is currently on your mind?

    Yeah, I understand. While they cannot be truly seperated, one still has a great degree of control on how they let emotions influence them. There has to be a better way other than people engaging in extreme empathy and getting emotionally overloaded with other people's pain. A behavior that I...

    What is currently on your mind?

    Yeah. Just feels empty, almost phony to me. I have tried it before, but the lack of incentive leaves me giving up. I have been toying with the idea of love being based on the intellect. Trying to train my mind to feel positive/romantic notions regarding this. I can feel some faint spark from...

    What are you listening to?

    Eazy E. He's probably my favorite rapper. I know he rapped about a lot of ugly stuff.. but I always took his material as more tongue and cheek than anything really serious, lol. He passed away too soon.

    Clarification

    I have no problem with Christians denouncing the attack. I am just saying those who will paint Christians with a broad brush because of this attack already most likely made up their minds long ago anyways.

    Clarification

    Hopefully not too many people will harshly judge other committed Christians because of this nut. Sadly, some will.. but I reckon most were already doing so anyways.

    What is currently on your mind?

    Yeah, I guess my mind is just stuck in a loop searching for a concept of love that doesn't exist. Even then, I worry about expressing the best possible love given the circumstances. Whenever I do try to express love I always feel like a piece of crap. Or I just feel nothing, that I am just going...

    What is currently on your mind?

    Sometimes I wonder why I care so much about the nature of love, and the perfect way to feel/express it. Most likely growing up in a Christian environment where the concept of love was highly valued. Yet.. personally never really understanding it. I guess it is more of a...
