The Rolling Stones and the Romantic tradition.Discuss.


That was my first thought, as well; particularly a comparison of the Stones' "Romantic" period (roughly 1966-69) and the Romantic group centered around Mary Wollstonecraft, Percy Shelley and especially Lord Byron ("mad, bad and dangerous to know").

Yes, everyone has heard of Osama Bin Laden

Nice picture of Bin Laden reading the Quran.

I am not fond of the publicity photos with the died hair. I like the natural look.

I did not know you was a admirer of Binny enough to have a encampment photo.

To my knowledge he only promotes recreational drug use, pre-marital sex, living with partners and having children out of wedlock as a means to identify persons to be containned and/or killed. Rather like raising a fresh harvest. They do say his horse is the best.


Don't get me wrong I have no issue with corporal punishment or capital punishment.
However, I do think he is a bit of an extremist in his views. But hey, if that is your thing. Please take note of my apology and do not kill me. I just do not agree about extreamist. I do not see how those ethics assist the betterment of the world. But as I said, you know, do your own thing. I am sure there is reasoning behind the normalcy of such beliefs.

BTW, could you share your name with everyone. I think we all would like to know you better.

You're kidding, right? Of course that's not Osama, it's Oso, fka the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, a guru who promoted all those things you'd never heard of a guru promoting: sex, drugs, etc.

Although it may not seem so at a superficial level, there is little difference between Bhagwan Shreekee's Oregon Ashram and the Utah-based Mormon cult (exalted status, eternal celestial polygamy). Certainly the relative un-American mentality of the followers is the same. Cf, e.g., Willard Romney.

That's obscure! I googled him. Osho, they spelled it, wrote a book called "Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic." Great title.

I've never been a fan of the Bhagwan's followers, but his teachings have their good points. I cited him as an example of a spiritual teacher who promotes the practices that Mr. jinn had never heard of a spiritual teacher promoting.

"Osho, also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, was a fully enlightened master who lived during the twentieth century. He was also a man of extraordinary intelligence, erudition, charisma, and powers of communication.

Some people thought of him as a guru of hedonism, an impressario of spiritual Mardi Gras."

"Spiritual Mardi Gras"...sounds good to me!

Well, that's quite an impressive non sequitur. Now back to the question: Did you really think the Bhagwan was Osama?

At first glance, yea. He looks amazingly like Binny.
However the real point was that there are extremist in every faith type. That is one reason the >Tibetan< Buddhist get so much crap from China. They see the them as an extremist group. Rather like we see polygamy practicing religions. Really what is the difference between multiple sexual partners and multiple marriage based mates?

If you are going to embrace(defend) Hedonism. Why stop at recreational death? There are people willing to die and those that are wish to experience giving death.

If that is between 2 consenting adults. How is that harming you?

>>The next statements are for theoretical purposes only.
If Mick took pleasure in death. And others did this for Mick to persons that was -willing- to be filmed or staged for pleasure. If everyone is consenting, why should there be interference with consenting adult pleasure? Hell, he might even be revered as doing a service by terminally ill persons. If the pay check was good enough persons would do such it would not even matter if it was for Mick if it bettered their family. Don't even doubt that for a second. And some persons would do this hedonism for for the experience. And some would do it simply because he is a mass volume entertainer.

Decadance....embrace it.

But really why concern our selves?

OK, so we move from non sequitur to reductio ad absurdum. The problem with your hypothetical is that sacramental drug use is widespread among human cultures, while the sort of death cult you posit is rather rare, though not unheard of. Moreover, for obvious evolutionary reasons, most people prefer to live. A death urge, Freud notwithstanding, is far from universal. A natural tendency to enjoy altering one's consciousness is much more common; witness the pleasure young children derive from spinning until they're dizzy.
