All I can say Frod is "unreal".

Those cultic techniques are just not unique to the cults we went thru.



Crossposting your link to the SDF

I affectionately refer to Tony Robbins as "Horse Face".

Seminars make me highly agitated.  I feel like I am in a sheeple corral or something.  Anyone here seen Requiem for a Dream?

Yes, loved it but did you notice there were basically 4 antiheros using drugs and they ended up dead (or damn near it), Insane (the old lady) in jail (Mr. Wayans) and as an added bonus a prostitute.

The movie must have been written by a program grad, but still it was fun to watch, especially the dialating eye routine when they shot up.

Carmel, you been to one of Tony Robbins Seminars?

YEECH!  Tell me more. I gotta hear it...it is like learing at a car crash.

Never been to one of his, no.  I was referring to them in general.  

I just see his face plastered everywhere.

Here in Houston....one of the Mega Ministries bought what used to be the Compaq Center (where the Rockets used to play) and are converting it into a worship center.

When we are pleading with foreign governments to stop the flow of cocaine, it is the height of hypocrisy for the US to export tobacco.  Years from now, our nation will look back on this application of free trade policy and find it scandalous.

Ho-lee shit!  Degradation... humiliation and phases :question:  :question:  :question:    :???:

I wonder if this could actually set some kind of legal precedent?

Does kinda put a new spin on accountability.
