Was the new member allowed to slap back?DiracPool said:
Probably because the more I ask for it, the less results I sure get later. This matches with my personality.Giant said:

. It's "safe hazing" for PF. The alternative is that Greg and DaleSpam drive you out to a remote part of the woods in the middle of winter and drop you off blindfolded with only your underwear on, and then tell you you can't have a beer until you find your way back to the Frat house. Would you like that instead as an initiation rite?!I guess "fun" and "cool" aren't synonyms for "lame." Quite the opposite, in fact.DiracPool said:That's precisely why it's so fun and cool, because it's lame

Oh yea it happens. I like listening to all languages songs. I try to concentrate on music alone,, no lyrics. Although translation is always good. So German, French, Japanese, they're all good. This song, for example, won't sound nearly as good if it was translated in English. So... Me likes..DiracPool said:
Of course it is possible to like German songs. Especially the old ones that are fast paced and melodic. I don't speak German, but we are culturally close so my generation grew up on translations of German, Italian and Croatian songs also called Schlagers lolGiant said:

There are a few possible reasons for this. One is that as society and technology advance, some traditions may no longer be relevant or useful. Another reason could be that as cultures and belief systems evolve, new practices and rituals may replace older ones. Additionally, some traditions may have been lost or forgotten over time.
This is a subjective question and may depend on individual beliefs and practices. Some people may feel that ancient traditions hold valuable wisdom and should be preserved, while others may believe that new traditions can be just as meaningful. Ultimately, the importance of ancient traditions in PF may vary from person to person.
One way to prevent the loss of ancient traditions is to actively engage in learning and practicing them. This could involve researching and studying different traditions, participating in cultural events and rituals, and passing down knowledge to future generations. It is also important to respect and honor the traditions of different cultures and not let them be forgotten or overshadowed by modern practices.
Ancient traditions can serve as a foundation for modern PF practices, providing a connection to the past and a sense of continuity. They can also offer valuable insights and teachings that can enhance one's spiritual journey. However, it is important to not view ancient traditions as static or unchanging, as they may continue to evolve and adapt over time.
This can be a complex and personal process, as individuals may have different interpretations and understandings of both ancient traditions and modern beliefs. Some may choose to integrate elements of both into their practices, while others may focus on one or the other. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to find a balance that feels authentic and meaningful to them.
