Recently there have been a number of post on ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅKarmaÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

[namename]

Wow. :?

[oddfaery2]

you spelled "experiences" wrong

[frogmite]

you spelled "experiences" wrong

 

 

 

 

 

I type fast; im lazy and use big words instead of blathering on for 3 sentences to get the same effect; i cba to use apostrophes and my writing is still very much readable.

 

 

 

i still <3 you though noob ;@

 

 

 

to the guy that said "wow" and just in general, it has been a good while since i posted anything meaningful due to the fact recently i have been hesitant because of real life commitments to GCSE's, these stop me coming on the forums regulary and often enough to reply properly this was however; long overdue. Therefore i doubt many people are used to my writing style especially not when talking about RS. I however am one of those people that refuses to use abbreviations and as little acronyms as possible in text messages. Im sorry but yeh you have to give a 16 year old boy his eccentricities.

I'm 22. Can I have candy instead of eccentricities?

You can have spam flavoured, textured and appearing candy. That is however - all.

[oddfaery2]

Sweet! Matches my posts perfectly.

In my view some did what you said but Leesters and the majority have not passed thier own judgmental views on the what is right and wrong.

 

 

 

Karam on the most basic level is the do good things and good things will happne to you. Do bad things and bad things will happen to you (Got that from the TV show My Name is Earl, but it still basically true)

 

 

 

Granted some may distort this and use what they deem as bad and good to use it, but Leesters and many others haven't

 

 

 

And fair few cases of good karam style examples have been given. Such as calling people noobs etc (whihc is clearly not a good thing to do) and dying to lag or being scammed (also bad)

 

 

 

This is not to say that all have been good examples and all understand the concept properly. But I think even though it is not a direct attack it is wrong to make such a sweeping generalisation of the posts. As many do hold good karama examples from thoose who follow the concept correctly

[Bloodveld]

Hopefully this will shut up all those (may I say it) "karma n00bs". :wink:

[darkmage099]

THANK YOU FROGMITE!!!!!!!!! thanks a lot :D :D for explaining this to people. There has been a number of karma posts which really have nothing to do with karma. Now, the trick is to get peple to read this post!

"Karam on the most basic level is the do good things and good things will happne to you. Do bad things and bad things will happen to you "

 

 

 

Keyword = happen

 

 

 

They will NOT be specically inacted onto you by the reciever of your actions as Leesters acted with his.

 

 

 

 

 

Leesters and many others haven't

 

 

 

(I hate generalisations they are never appropriate (except for the generalisation that they are never appropriate;)))

 

 

 

All the topics i've seen have detailed them acting on what happened to them, either being nice or being nasty to someone who was likewise to them due to there belief in this "Karma" as they call it.

 

 

 

 

 

As many do hold good karama examples from thoose who follow the concept correctly

 

 

 

Can you please quote one example that was not directly intered by the people acted upon?

 

 

 

The actual Karma philosophy - the "do onto other as you would be done by" is brilliant imo. but unrealistic due to a lack of a recognised interfing entity therefore, your statement is either untrue, missinterpreted or co-incidence. Albeit this then goes into belief as to whether there is a "higher force" acting on the daily interactions of the human race.

[Babyshambles]

lol its karma not karam

[frogmite]

lol its karma not karam

 

 

 

Its called a typo.

 

 

 

Maybe if you typed a sizeable amount at a reasonable speed you'd have a chance to make one too, judging by the fact you obviously like to spam i somehow doubt it though.

lol beat me to it frogmite

 

 

 

Also doesn't help tht my browser is weird and when I have java loaded (aka rs) it constantly moves typing cursor around, gets so annoying having to type posts into notepad

[Leesters]

Odd, if I had room in my sig, you're quotable line of "I'm 22, can i have candy instead of eccentricities" would go in my sig. lol. Hopefully we can get the mud and zerker candy machine going again.

 

 

 

I'm getting a kick out of all the karma posts. I guess I got my point across. This is becoming the karma forums. Maybe I'll make a clan. Join ClanKarma today!

 

 

 

Seriously, I made the karma posts simply because I would like to do my part to change the all-about-me culture in RS to something that is a little bit better. Young, impressionable minds are being warped by this game's culture. So, I used my position on these forums to manipulate the ability to set an example.

 

 

 

And I will continue to do so. And thanks for the plug. :P

[Satenza]

It was fun at first... then just got annoying.

The problem is what your setting isnt a good example, o sure the side that you set is positive if however you were to switch it around it would be extremely negative... just re-read my post it seems you've scimmed through it losing all meaning -.-`..

the irony in that is too plain, in more than one sense.

 

 

 

albeit very few people will see either sense anyway, basically re-read it your in effect warping there minds not helping them with your severely flawed explanation of such an important idea.

[frogmite]

is there any need that half this post is spam :|

[RAHK]

While you are correct about the longest lived definition of Karma you must also realize that words change, language develops, views alter etc. If you asked the average person 20 or so years ago what the term "cat" meant you would recieve a much different response now. And the same is true vice versa with the term "dog". Karma's meaning has become altered in general usage due to it becoming a pop phrase in society (see "...Earl" and many other forms of media). When people use the word now they are no longer inferring the interaction of god(s) or another higher power but simply that the act itself is self-fulfilling. You saw a good/bad act so you do your part in rewarding/punishing the samaritan/transgressor in the hopes of a better society. People have now replaced god(s) with themselves in the equation. I am not saying an opinion about it either way but the fact is: the meaning has changed. Karma no longer infers divine intervention in the distribution of justice the word now infers that justice is dispensed by the person at the scene.

 

 

 

I would like to stress that I am not agreeing with the change I am simply stating that a change in the usage of karma has arisen. It is now in pop culture and regardless of your wishes or anybody's it will fade ONLY at it's own speed, you groovy cat. 8)

[n64jive]

Someone does something good for this forum, and someody has to go along and flame it.

 

 

 

Karma have brought something positive to this forum, and maybe people will start acting as better people if they realize that if you do good things, good things will happen to you.

 

 

 

I feel your post is somewhat outa jealousy, maybe not completely, but i feel that you think that leesters is getting to much credit for this, which case i beleive your wrong.

 

 

 

Leesters started posts about Karma on these forums, and that spark Karma posts, and as more and more come in, i beleive that people will really think that if your a good person, good things will happen to you.

[Golvellius]

There is a time to be right and there is a time to go with the flow.

 

This karma thing is one of those go with the flow times.

 

Its harmless and its really an uphill battle to get the real karma meaning out over the feel-good Leester's Karma.

While contextual differences in words definatly change with the times and I do believe you are very much right in your observation I find myself having to object to it. Karma is an old old belief something that doesnt deserve to be miss-interpreted and could quiet easily be very insulting to someone, albeit I again agree with your synopsis - I and noone else for that matter will be able to change it or influence it in a drastic way it doesnt not however mean I cannot or should not try ;).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone does something good for this forum, and someody has to go along and flame it.

 

 

 

I dont see how im flaming at all - debating at best?

 

 

 

I feel your post is somewhat outa jealousy, maybe not completely, but i feel that you think that leesters is getting to much credit for this, which case i beleive your wrong.

 

 

 

I personally dont see what I have to be jealous over :S but ok.. attention I guess? I thought you would have been around these forums long enough to realise attention is certainly something I do not clamour for.

 

 

 

To the latter; on the contrary, I give Leesters all the credit I believe he is to be given and very much agree with the "do unto (i can never remember whether it is unto or onto - i feel in an unto mood today (Y))

 

others as you wish to be treated" I am hesitant about the way that this seems to be going though. Dont get me wrong - Leesters is very much for the positive that it obvious to everyone, however it is very VERY close to the opposite and as so many people seem to do in our modern world it may not be long till someone twists this; "Oh, he hit me.. i must furfil my karma induced justice *hits*" something I am most morally against.

 

Not only that but the very fact that I believe the idea gives humans too much justification in their judgements and actions. Im sorry for trying to maintain the seemingly humble nature of tip.it. This could quiet possibly be the first step to a bunch of aragont [bleep]s something I do not wish to stand by and watch form nor encourage. I do not wish to flame or to prove my statements right I simply wish for people to think and consider the other side.

 

 

 

Leesters started posts about Karma on these forums, and that spark Karma posts, and as more and more come in, i beleive that people will really think that if your a good person, good things will happen to you.

 

 

 

While that is indeed a nice notion, I would prefer realism in all instances its a fact of life - of our capitalist lifestyle and society a flaw in the human race. Good doesnt equal good and bad doesnt equal bad. The more you accept it the more you can deal with it and thats as simple as one could wish to make it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a time to be right and there is a time to go with the flow.

 

This karma thing is one of those go with the flow times.

 

Its harmless and its really an uphill battle to get the real karma meaning out over the feel-good Leester's Karma.

 

 

 

I again wish it were harmless, unfortunatly as I have quiet clearly pointed out there are elements which are not.

 

 

 

Btw when did everyone become such push-overs all of a sudden, whats the matter, do you only fight battles you can win? that take little effort? Stop being so damn boring ;p

[jesso]

to Frogmite:You do realize you are arguing over a topic, which seems irrevelant. Let people do their own things, if you do not agree with this whole "Karma" thing, than just ignore it. In conclusion, if you have enough spare time to write an essay on a moral/value of a video game and how it is being misinterrperated than you have to get some hobbies. HINT: Pornography is a good hobby!
