really, where do you think the money for the empire and all those warships and soldiers come from?
India, china, africa - shall we start with just those 3?
And by India, I mean let's assume it is India as it was before independance, same with china, and africa well that's probably just best left alone given the state we left it in.
You are absolutely right and the middle east the empire was vast!
BUT WTF HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH NOW & HERE & WILLIAM & KATE?
What you need is to forgive & forget and move on my friend nothing ever good comes from living in the past
So now it is blatantly obvious where you're anger comes from, but we new this all along

Uhmm that's not buddhist thats Christian hogwash :-)
Romans 14:14
Check it out...
But no, there is no bad in being happy or seeking happiness... I guess that's why we started a new country because folks had an issue with the individuals pursuit of happiness.

I can point to a ton of wealthy blokes who come from the UK... and I'm sure they are that way because the decided to make something for themselves given what they had...

I'm not seeing your point? I'm a successful internet marketer. I've made plenty of myself, I'd be in a very very small percentages of people in turns of my income and my age. This isn't about my position, it's about the position of others.
Some of us have this thing called empathy. Just because my life is sound doesn't mean I'm going to forget about the billions forced to suffer.

No, it's Buddhist. That Christianity stole from Buddhism says nothing.
There is definitely bad in being happy at the expense of others. If you're happy that's fine, nobody is against being happy. It's when you take joy from some Monarch inbreds getting married, then there's a problem. Because these people are responsible for untold suffering. So it goes beyond just happiness.
Furthermore, true happiness is found in self. IF someone needs a royal wedding to make them happy, I'd question their claimed happiness.

Go and re-read the thread your hate comes across in the way you write your posts, throwing sly insults in whenever you get a chance.

Well then, that seems to be the contentious point here... I could care less about the position of others... I have enough to worry about with my own position...
Some of us have this thing called empathy. Just because my life is sound doesn't mean I'm going to forget about the billions forced to suffer.
Oh I have empathy as well... not the mentally disturbed kind that sees horror everywhere and hates on those who have... but the realistic kind which helps those I can...
Hating on wealth is not what you want if you indeed want others to be happy... you should celebrate wealth instead... that's what I do...
And as for empathy, I support 3 families other than my own household, plus the 20 employees that I have working for me... I did that by choosing an attitude of wealth as opposed to one of poverty.

Are you claiming St Paul stole his opinions from Buddhism?

There is no BAD... it's a concept made up... it's like COOL, or SWAG... they don't exist except in the minds of those who see it.
You know it's like racism... made up to control... not to liberate...

No, your writing style is just full of bile you can try and deflect away from it but it's right in the open for people to see.

The mere fact that you hate at all says it all...
I don't hate anything
And btw... those people who work for me... they wanted to... they came to me begging to do this work... and I pay them very well...
Most of the folks who work for me make twice what they ever did before and have a control over how much they can make...

Begging to work. Why? Because government and Monarchs stole the land from the people. They're FORCED to play the system. Nobody wants to.
People retire as soon as they can. I'll retire next year. Nobody wants to work for you, don't be so deluded. People are forced to work for you because it's illegal to live without complying with Capitalist rule.

I don't care if others think they are better than me... it doesn't really bother me at all...
Personally I think I'm better than everyone else too... It goes with the territory...
All tribes do to be honest... The Hebrews called themselves the "Chosen People" The Cherokee called themselves "The Real People" etc..
I'm not going to be too upset about being a human
