Re: The Disapearance of Pennsylvania Dutch in America

I had always assumed that "Pennsylvania Dutch" was a popular mispronunciation of "Pennsylvania Deutsch," so-called because the people had moved here originally from Germany, but apparently that isn't correct. Yes, for the history of the term also see this: https://en.wikipedia.o...

Very interesting. Thank you for posting. My family are Pennsylvania Germans from the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis region who came to the colonies in 1701. As far as I know our language was lost with my Great Grandparents on my Father's side of the family. Hi Zerwe, this is really interesting. Do you know ...

Re: Anātman, the Buddhist Doctrine of No-Self

Even if it were possible for me to become enlightened and fully understand the doctrine of no-self, I would still suffer the effects of negative thoughts and emotions. Poison is poison. It affects the whole system. You take the analogy too far, and lose sight that its just an analogy intended to ad...
