Welcome to all who seek the Truth
To us,there are no "humble opinions"
To those who believe in something-anything
we offer a good old Western Howdy.
Future goals include investigations into the
nature of Truth and practical applications of same.
We welcome all "Truth Pilgrims" to our new sanctuary.
Whine at your peril. Snivel and you`re a goner.
We are fascinated by mind cleansing methods and
encourage their use.
These can include pharmacological exploration,
observance/participation of/in natural phenomena
{Our aquatic pals are held in high esteem around these parts}and any number of disparate and far-fetched ideas.
We have been influenced by many schools of thought provided they agree with us.
These include The I Ching,the Church of Bob,Aristotelian concepts of inclusion ,Willie`s "Teapot Party"Carl Jung,Jim S, The Universal Life Church,Monsignor Seymour,Taoism,George Fox, Lonesome Ranger and on and on.
Etc,etc.

ReplyDeleteIPOT is an acronym.
ReplyDeleteIt means Institute for the Pursuit of Truth Institute
The redundancy is intentional
and is used for emphasis.
Our fan-boys are called
TP`ers or Truth Pilgrims
and have a heck of time
messing around here in
these cyber-parts.
Dig this-Why use a sentence when a paragraph will do?
ReplyDelete"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law."[1]
Kant expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the popular moral philosophy of his day, believing that it could never surpass the level of hypothetical imperatives: a utilitarian says that murder is wrong because it does not maximize good for the greatest number of people, but this is irrelevant to people who are concerned only with maximizing the positive outcome for themselves. Consequently, Kant argued, hypothetical moral systems cannot persuade moral action or be regarded as bases for moral judgments against others, because the imperatives on which they are based rely too heavily on subjective considerations. He presented a deontological moral system, based on the demands of the categorical imperative, as an alternative.
What do you think?

ReplyDelete"The schlemiel spills the soup on the schlemazel"
ReplyDeleteI`ll get the ball rolling with these...
1. shlep
To drag, traditionally something you don’t really need; to carry unwillingly. When people “shlep around,” they are dragging themselves, perhaps slouchingly. On vacation, when I’m the one who ends up carrying the heavy suitcase I begged my wife to leave at home, I shlep it.
2. shlemiel
A clumsy, inept person, similar to a klutz (also a Yiddish word). The kind of person who always spills his soup.
3. shlimazel
Someone with constant bad luck. When the shlemiel spills his soup, he probably spills it on the shlimazel. Fans of the TV sitcom “Laverne and Shirley” remember these two words from the Yiddish-American hopscotch chant that opened each show.
4. shmooze
Chat, make small talk, converse about nothing in particular. But at Hollywood parties, guests often schmooze with people they want to impress.
5. shmaltzy
Excessively sentimental, gushing, flattering, over-the-top, corny. This word describes some of Hollywood’s most famous films. From shmaltz, which means chicken fat or grease.
6. schlock
Cheap, shoddy, or inferior, as in, “I don’t know why I bought this schlocky souvenir.”
7. spiel
A long, involved sales pitch, as in, “I had to listen to his whole spiel before I found out what he really wanted.” From the German word for play.
8. schmuck
Often used as an insulting word for a self-made fool, but you shouldn’t use it in polite company at all, since it refers to male anatomy.
9. shalom
It means “deep peace,” and isn’t that a more meaningful greeting than “Hi, how are ya?”
10. shtik
Something you’re known for doing, an entertainer’s routine, an actor’s bit, stage business; a gimmick often done to draw attention to yourself.
Hello there friend(s). Yes I had to put the s in parentheses. Can't be too sure now of days. Great sight Oti'. Being from the Great North East, I have had the privilege to hear these phrases being spoke in their native tongue. Not too pretty I might add. But alas, there are a few more important Yiddish words to know. For example: bubkes (bup kiss). A word that translates literally to "goat droppings". Used in a sentence, you could say "I didn't get paid bubkes for all the work I did. Etc., etc., etc. There are so many more, but the one word from Yiddish that we use more and more everyday ....... "Glitch". Glitch in Yiddish means to slip, skate, or nose-dive. I gotta go, some schmuck is paying me bubkes to be a Nebish.
