changing rules to suit your purpose.. avoiding taxes... having hardcore followers who blindly follow... id say it is a religion, for all purposes.

sad but true.. they taking advantage of the fact the Emperor Has NO Clothes...remember that story... pride is a mother fucker

im tempted myself to start a cult but i dont have a good memory, it would be too hard to be consistent in my lies

Everyone is getting over.. i wanna get some of this pie too... where can i sign up to break the rules for profit god damn it

"A government watchdog warned last June and again in January that non-U.S. citizens have registered 5,600 planes with the Federal Aviation Administration through trustees, concealing the owners' identities.

Under FAA regulations, this can be done by the owner creating an agreement to transfer the plane's title to a trustee that is a U.S. citizen. The trustee then registers the plane. The agreements provide little information on the identity of the owner or who uses the plane, according to a memorandum by the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General.

In 47 registrations closely examined by the inspector general, the non-U.S. citizen who created the trust had complete authority to remove the trustee, and thus control over the plane."

similar thing to do to get a silencer. it's more likely that people are starting to realize that the laws themselves undermine the rule of law, but that's how it's always been in the us. usa hasn't had its stint of fascism, but we're for sale, politically, now.

i've lucked out with no debt so far. the other hand is i'm 9hrs away from a bachelor's degree, and on a second academic suspension because i work a lot of hours in order to pay tuition. vicious cycle but it's the american dream, right?

[BigHurb]

they shouldve just called Academic Suspension ... ummm... "every other quarter"... got that sweet 2.7 major GPA.

life is good i just ate a pot cookie and played with the cats and dogs... i want it to be good for other people though

hehe part of it is that it's a literature degree, so i'm screwed in finding a decent job. realized that then hit cruise control. my grandpa is the only one that seems to understand, but he's one of them depression era guys that understands stagnant social mobility.

compare the positioning and shape of your cat's dewclaw to your thumb?

well, i know it goes Gorilla, _____ , Chimps/Human lines from _____.

considering the diaspora of people and the lands themselves over time, emerging adaptations to local environmental conditions and an obviously complex number of other factors, everything seems to match up... plus it all goes back to a universal common ancestor probably from the sky where the high speed collisions of particles in space created fundamental building blocks but then it starts to get a little iffy... why the conserved momentum?? the initial movement? thats so bizarre which is why the simulation is perfect... we could know and not even care or actually enjoy the knowledge in some way... but theres not enough time for one person to do it all.. so the more of us, the more computing power... haha 42

No, it does not, not any more than Amway. It's all scam to avoid taxes. All. In some countries they are even still adamant about not having any of these things and not being a religion, because it suits their purpose there.

Doctrine: That people have thetan's attached to them that work against them succeeding in life. That these thetan's are there from out past experiences, plus thetans from the whole Xenu event. Goal of "Freeing the world".
Ritual: auditing
Culture: lots of culture
Praxis: auditing to remove thetans is a great example of praxis

I agree its declaration of being a religion is very weak, but it does fit these roles. Partially by design (just to be called a religion).
