This debate will focus on four issues: (1) energy, (2) climate, (3) (portal) immigration; and (4) global security. Details will be forthcoming.

So it's Smelly vs Joe Firmage?

Right on.

I just wish I knew who invited smelly to the party.  

It may just be Turrette’s syndrome that we are dealing with.  

It can happen to the best of us.

Smelly goat farts are quite mystical, don’t judge.

I don’t want to debate anyone, there is nothing to debate.

That’s what makes you guys so much fun.

Great news on the second debate

Dan / Foot,

Will the second debate be aired live?

I don't think it's possible… But how is Joe going to participate in the debate from rehab? It's only day seven right?  It was rather cruel to watch the last one... Doug was hoisted by his own pitard and couldn't even tell what was happening about him and poor Joe Poor poor Joe he did not sound good…  it was NOT very cool to toy with him like that .....And with the supposedly most important topic ...being cut off constantly was painfullt embarrassing... it's no wonder he went into rehab shortly after… but out of all the faustian foibles ... it left a clear trail & evidence for others to enjoy far more that the puppeteers!!!

Sometimes… from the constellations… Retirement is not quite retirement.

There is talk about scheduling the next debate for later this afternoon.

My speculation as to who might be the former presidential candidate, in question...... well, it may have been a trick question....... sorry, Wes, you’ll just have to be patient.......

A muppet debate is like two coconuts trying to convince each other they are butterflies.

The sage debates no one.

In the sage’s mind, all is resolved instantly, like a drop of water hitting a hot plate.

Nothing is held, so nothing is taken, so no conflict can arise.

We are in conflict only over illusions.

That’s so funny, I can’t even stand it.

Because you don’t HAVE to do anything.

This simple wisdom eludes Dan and friends with so much to accomplish.

Bahahahaha

GENTLEMAN / great to sit on the sidelines isn't it ?

I recall Dan being a former presidential candidate

Very good cw, keep it coming.

The muppets won’t understand this.

They are stuck in the fly bottle.



There is no problem in life.

Not a one.

Muppets worry about illusions.

We are looking at you from outside the fly bottle.

You can’t beat us, join us.

Dan and Ron are misleading you.

We are not.

Whoknows,
Do You?
Who knows where the time goes...sandy denny.

Hobbit

Dan, we all are dancing to our own song or we wander with none, but we can all hear it if we want to.

It's the same song everywhere.

As in the Divine Comedy, people choose their suffering.

No one can really have a problem with what another thinks.

So this is just a reminder from outside the fly jar.

Thanks Hobbit,

Classic.. my mother and I where listening to this early this morning.

Its seems some of us forgot one of the eight paths to virtue.
Some preach of renunciation, yet flail, fret and blather ... being the very opposite of the message they preach ... you can never be "outside the bottle "....it's clear you are still suffering because we all have much to let go... I do not suggest being the message so much so that like many yogi masters, you fear your breathing & cease walking to cause no harm to even the tiniest life form. Yet, Smelly IS the closest here to "ending all suffering". Good luck Consciousnaut! You found THE path. Kudos...

Very nice Hobbit. Thank you.

Northern Ireland / Ireland, are masterful at 'sad songs' though we are equally good at laughing at ourselves.

We are though no different than anyone else, anywhere. Everyone and everything suffers and yet, perhaps, no one or nothing has.

Perhaps, it's time for a new story...

so Joe's spiny-thing represents an immigration threat from aliens? do immigration laws govern et too?

this debate outta be a hoot

i suppose it fits the thread title well; the debate will be the perfect expression of the immaterial

Pkisfake,



8 fold path....bwahahaha

Good one

You are very confused.



8 fold path can suck a goat fart.

Hehe

"Yet, Smelly IS the closest here to "ending all suffering". Good luck Consciousnaut! You found THE path. Kudos..."

gee, If I knew there was a "closest to ending all suffering" contest, I would have put on my Sunday best.

Rumor has it that an unauthorized debate already took place.

We are still trying to sort things out.

And, trust me, sports fans, the rumors are only going to get worse.

Haha, I only ended my own suffering, I really don’t judge anyone else.

To each his own.

I like to tease, can’t help it.

I can’t help anyone else, I know, I can only push them, tease them and hug them doing not doing.

It’s obvious who is paying attention and who isn’t.

I only found my reflection.

But really, all are on their own path, I truly believe that.

The Jar is the same metaphor as Plato’s cave.

You prob know PK, there are many states of mind, I feel we should play with them all.

One state of mind may be nirvana to one and Hell to another.

Shrug.

Straight on.

Aaron, be nice, or not

I know that sounds hypocritical coming from me.

I’m actually a very nice smelly goat when not playing on OMF.

I don’t know why people can’t get my jokes

Guess the jokes on them.

But my jokes prob suck is the reason

I am nice Smelly

I always try to treat others as I would treat myself.

I know AP, he is my friend.

I wouldn't throw anything at him I knew he couldn't handle.
