FIRST
Oh look, an attention-grabber.
Randomness, as defined by Aristotle, is the situation when a choice is to be made which has no logical component by which to determine or make the choice (see Buridan’s ass). More recently, and more formally, a random process is a repeating process whose outcomes follow no describable deterministic pattern, but follow a probability distribution such that the relative probability of the occurrence of each outcome can be approximated or calculated. For instance, the rolling of a six-sided dice in neutral conditions may be said to produce random results in that one cannot compute before a roll what digit will be landed on, but the probability of landing on any of the six rollable digits can be calculated because of the finite cardinality of the set of possible outcomes.
tl;dr
And that is why I cannot succeed at math or statistics. I can wrap my mind around many abstract concepts in philosophy and science and so forth, but the concept of zero, the concept of infinity, and the concept of calculating probability all make my brain go, “Poof!”
same zero and infinty confuse me and probabilty is the only subject i don’t get.
Oh, I saw Buridan’s ass – and believe you me, it was tizite!!!
Did you first look at the right cheek or the left cheek and why. Ready, go.
Kill yourself.
Shouldnt It be “How” not “Where”?
“In which”.
hah i was just about to say the exact same thing cause that’s definitely right.
I am a gay.
Good for you!
I hate Lisa.
I hate Meg.
I hate you!
I hate hate.
i hate people that hate
Lisa needs braces.
Dental plan.
Lisa needs braces.
Also remember that,
1.) The Historical Buddha was morbidly obese.
2.) The Buddha is a God.
3.) “Siddhartha” and “Theravada” are pronounced with the same “th” as found in “theme.”
4.) Buddhism tries to suck all the joy out of life by eliminating suffering. As a result, with the loss of suffering, joy becomes meaningless and life just gets depressing.
Holy sh*t. Big B showed up obese in the above Simpsons vid. Sigh…
This is amazingly close minded and incorrect. Instead of reading a pamphlet about Buddhism maybe you should take a class or actually talk to someone practicing. Your entire list is wrong and offensive. And this is coming from an Atheist.
Yup. It was sarcasm.
You are a dumbass.
you are a sycophant!
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna?
those the ones that’re kicking Edgar Allan Poe?
well i’m buddhist and i find it hilarious.
AND informative! XD
You forgot one. Buddhists are all nazi’s because they wear the swastika. And they are stupid nazi’s because they wear it backwards.
(BTW. Yes this is sarcasm. The symbol is the omote manji and means compassion and forgiveness.)
Stupid Nazis, then.
“Buddhism tries to suck all the joy out of life by eliminating suffering.”
It’s pretty difficult to be wrong about that many things in so few words.
Ummm not so much…
1) Siddhartha Gautama spent most of his life as an ascetic, and was likely very thin.
2) Nope, god implies omnipetence and control over the earth to some extent. Buddha just ascended to Nirvana which is attainable by anybody, according to most Buddhist beliefs.
3) Since they’re both transliterations, the pronunciation is not exactly fixed. Theravada is frequently pronounced as a hard T in many cultures.
4) Wrong again. The beleif that suffering is a neccisity of life is less of a pessimest viewpoint and more of a diagnosis. The goal of Buddhism is to eliminate suffering by identifying what causes it. You’re probably getting confused by the Buddhist concept of avoiding attachment. The belief doesn’t say that we can’t enjoy good things, it just says that we should not be sad when they are gone.
For example, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a nice dinner, but you shouldn’t be sad if you only have a simple dinner. Either way, you have dinner.
I already conceded that it was sarcasm above, but thanks anyway. Others may find it informative. Concerning #3, in the sanskrit, a “t” followed by an “h” is an aspirated “t” that stats like any “t”, but is then followed by an breathy “ha.”
Sid, I figured you’d meant to write the opposite of the truth, but you have to admit, your original post was pretty random.
I was just writing down what people learn about Buddhism from television and the movies because B’ism is misrepresented about 9 out of 10 times when it is referenced. I suppose I was trying to make some silly point.
Needs a big “Richard Gere” and/or “Dalai Lama” category…
np: Ramadanman – Response (Black Round Ghosts)
Naw, the Dalai Lama is an actual source of information, so it would only get a small slice. I think big chunk of pie devoted to the insipid blathering of Gere would be right at home in this graph. I loved his post 9/11 speeches. As a Buddhist, they made me want to retch.
H.H. is only an ‘information source’ if you’re Vajarayana/Tibetan (and in the latter case if you’re not New Kadampa)
He sure as hell says nothing much applicable to Zen, Tendai, Cha’n, Son, or Theravadin schools… Yet Tibetan is sold as ‘THE Buddhism’ in the west a lot of the time…
“He sure as hell says nothing much applicable to Zen, Tendai, Cha’n, Son, or Theravadin schools”
-
Your wording is waaay too strong here. The teachings of interdependent arising, emptiness and the cessation of suffering can be found in the above mentioned schools. But some of the Vajrayana teachings are indeed pretty far out in left field that you will not find a trace of in the above mentioned sects.
Buddhists have cool music in their bars.
This graph is just a sad commentary on the original poster and how they get their information.
Lol
Oh, lol a little.
My guess is they realize that the TV misrepresents a lot of things, and are poking fun at both that fact and themselves. Like, “Haha, I’m a dork!” This is why I find it funny.
Graph title fail.
I hate to admit it, but that graph applies to me, too.
Stupid Simpsons and their doing everything…
I got to watch that episode in an re lesson so I win lololol
Need slice for Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman.
Wow. There’s a movie I need to see. Thanks for the heads-up.
It will also teach you about Hindi lesbians. I’d start watching ASAP if I were you. These are things people need to know.
Also, why is there a Simpsons movie in German?
Because all series are shown dubbed on German tv?
Just sayin’…
np: Jared Emerson-Johnson – T.H.E.M. (Sam & Max Season Two OST (Disc 1))
Simpsons teach you all you need to know!
Worship that elephant, Appo!
“Please do not feed my god a peanut.”
Why is it, that every time I jump to Fun With Charts from LolNews, Internet Explorer freezes?
Because I just gave you a virus!
Enjoy your sizzled hard drive!
Shouldn’t this be titled “WHERE I learned about Buddism”? Title fail.
Even Buddhists despise Comic Sans
Interesting how this time there aren’t a bunch of people crying “oh, this offends my believes, please have it removed”. Hypocrites.
I’m still waiting for someone to say something offensive. Can you really “bash” buddhism without sounding stupid? I’m not sure it can be done.
This graph doesn’t help the fact that the whole world already thinks Americans are ignorant and stupid… -_-;;
you missed out arrogant, and with entitlement issues…
I WOULD point out that each person that makes such statements proves THEIR country has at least 1 such (stupid, ignorant, etc) person of their own by implying everyone in their country is superior.
However, nearly every day, Obama says or does something to prove we have an awful lot of stupid people here by the fact he got elected… or even that he was candidate.
I mean, with all the crap in advertising we see and hear every day, we ALL should know a con when we hear it.
By the way, how many items around your home were invented in your country?
Well, how far did your space craft take your astronauts? etc, etc,
“how I know what I know”
it’s nothing to be proud of…
