Rastafarianism

[Mud Dauber]

Sounds like someone on this thread could use a group hug

I'm allowed to criticise as I see fit.

A white American, of German descent, speaking and acting like a black rastafarian.

There is much to criticise.

What are you talking about you kook? Unless you can give an example of how he types in a "black accent" thenI advise you to not continue posting in this thread, not that there's anything I can do over the internet about it, but I feel somewhat responsible for saving you from what looks to be a possible menally retarded state somewhere in the near future.

"TO dem InI say, break away the chains and praise Jah InI!"

How about the above (as one example of many) for evidence of Redlocks trying to sound like a black rastafarian?

The evidence is there if you want to look for it. I'm not about to produce endless quotes for anyone. It's not that I don't like you Redlocks, I just think you sound like a prick with your faux Jamaican accent. Do you really loathe yourself that much that you wish to be someone else. For example, I like Jazz and Soul. It doesn't mean I have to talk or write like Dizzy Gillespie or James Brown.

It's pretty simple when you think about it. Please don't make me explain it all again for you.

You have no idea how stupid you sound.

You are not a Rastafarian, you are not black, stop trying to sound like one.

Find your own culture and be proud of it, don't try and ape others.

There's nothing wrong with liking the music, or even the lifestyle. But when you adopt the words of others you sound like a fool.

That's all.

I think that statment applies to you more than it does to Redlocks. The fact that you felt so strongly about what he was saying, even though it didn't apply to you an any way, baffles me. Why do you find the need to point out "flaws" in other people? Even if he is acting like a fool, in the end he is no more wrong than you are. Your continued attacks on him make me believe that you are a pretentious know-it-all with something to prove. If you truly knew as much as you try to pull off you would realize that your comments in this thread are useless and a waste of cyber space. Nothing personal, but when I see people causing problems for no real reason I get a little testy.

Anyways, as for Rastafarianism I see it as I do all other religions. Dumb. If it excluded the part about Selassie being a God incarnate, I might be a little more understanding.

However, I do rank Rasta above most other religions due to its justification of Marijuana, but that is one of the only advantages in it.

It's a discussion board, we are allowed to make posts which contain opinions.

Just like the one you just made.

You got one thing right, I am a know it all.

Good that you noticed that much at least.

[RedLocks]

ohh ya got me there, there's that pesky phoentic spelling I spoke of! (dem) as far as the rest, "Jah"(Yah purnounced Jah) is a hebrew word, not a black word and . and to Quote E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact.
I apologize if I confused you, I know philosphy is hard for some to follow, or made you feel threatened to the point you felt it neccesary to lash out with curses.

[Ignatius]

Yes, philosophy is hard for some to follow. Let me know when you are going to be doing some and I'll see if I can keep up.

I realise you may be more complicated than Hegel, or Kant. But please, be patient with me.

[RedLocks]

I am

[Ignatius]

Ok, let me know when you are going to be doing this philosophy thing.

I've got my pencil ready, I'll take notes and stuff.

[RedLocks]

Growl, I just threw that in to hold my place in the post, ended up typing longer than I had intended and it would not allow me to update the edit, here is the rest of my previous post----

Sorry wanted to see what you would come back with but that was slick. My last remark was just in good fun, I enjoy your criticism despite the virility of some remarks and the ill concieved notions about who I am. When people bring strife around here there is a saying "you don't know me" We all have a path to follow, I'll go on mine and deflect what ever comes my way, there are things we must all overcome. Like i said, not trying to speak as somone I am not, and not speaking in a poorly spoken for of slang english such as patois. There are a few key terms that mean alot and are intentionall alterations of standard english, not a form of slang. I type in plain written english as i said in a earlier post, I could type the way i speak in real life with nothing but phoentic spellings of how people in my area speak, but what would the point in that be, none. I say praise Jah InI, and that means alot because of what those 2 simple terms mean.

Bless
