Is the Acronym 'YOLO' Something You Love, or Love to Hate?

I don't know what YOLO means.
oxymoron is an awesome word. :D

It's the ignorant persons Carpe Diem... Sheesh, didn't you pay attention in English class xD

Is it supposed to mean something? If so, I have no idea what. I've only seen it once before, and I couldn't get a meaning from context either.

this rocks

whack

Before Drake made saying YOLO popular did you idiots think you lived twice?

I guess so.

Retarded nonsense. A once lighthearted quip that has become a champion phrase for douchebags everywhere. Acronyms have become extremely annoying in a culture seemingly driven by shortcuts, excuses, shameless laziness and unaccountability. The negative impacts of the "Point and Click" generations is just starting to become realized.

It's the people that use it for the wrong reasons that screw it up. -_-

Before Drake stupid people didn't know bout YOLO and now they praising him like he started it. But the thing is that YOLO isn't about doing whatever you can think of to make yourself look like an idiot.

You only live once.... are people that lazy these days to say just a few more syllables?

-_- YOLO is so idiotic.

But then I wonder: and the it all makes sense!

the only good thing to come outta Yolo

Its very annoying because what.. before you thought you were immortal or something? Were you just dumb before you started using that word in EVERYTHING? You cheat and you just go YOLO?... Doesnt make sense in the least bit

I find this crap non appealing to me. I feel above these dumbed down trends that make people look special. Attention whores they be.

I love the message behind it: you only get this one life, so make the best of it. But some people take this message as permission to stupid stuff. It's "Carpe Diem" for idiots......

Depends if you do so Wisely, Wretched, Well or Wrecked.
How do you want to be Well-Done?

It bugs me that people use it as an excuse to do ridiculous things. They defy logic by putting themselves in life-threatening situations because they know they have 1 life but are willing to waste it on sheer stupidity.

"It's Better to Burn Out than Fade Away" [Neil Young, & later, Def Leopard] seems to be their creed. I'd rather Coolly Saunter my Way to the Grave than to Rush Frantically into it..

You only live once? Then why do I remember so many previous lives?

A 'particular', life once. Don't buy the Abrahamaec version of
"In the Clouds or On the Grill", binary choice. Doesn't sound like a forgiving God.
Take the Eastern version that it takes many life-times to finally "get it".

I'm not so sure it's Abrahamic. The Pharisees believed in reincarnation, and even Jesus mentioned that 'if you can accept it', John the Baptist was previously Isaiah the Prophet. Now consider the karmic relationship between the prophets of Baal being beheaded at his order, and his beheading at Herod's order. Standard Christianity has been muddled with. You have to read VERY carefully to find the truth.

I have to admit this acronym thingy is a trend I have not been completely up on.
But in reference to biblical references to reincarnation, first are the words from Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...", and then the statement by Peter in II Peter Ch.3 v.9 that says, "The Lord is not slow about his promises, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentence."

IF as many believe we only get one chance and the "wheat and chaff" separation happens in the span of a single human lifetime and it's permanent as some fearmongering proselytizers claim then WHAT sense could this passage ever possibly make? I have brought this up with some southern fundamentalists including JW's that drop by uninvited and they generally leave with a lot on their minds.

It also makes little sense in that a lot of people throughout history never heard the Name of Jesus throughout their lives. Personally I believe you keep coming back at least long enough to hear and accept or reject the Salvation Promise. After that, who knows? Maybe eternity IS an option!

Hard to tell since the Council of Nicea [325] edited the Bible to their liking. Mention of reincarnation was struck in 533. Could you suggest sources?

Not that I know of. That 200 year window is kinda small. Trying to find surviving texts from that particular time would be a matter of luck.You just have to be able to look past the common interpretations. Bishop Usher's '6000 years' comes to mind. There are BILLIONS of years between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2. Saying that the world is 6k years old is unscriptural and a red herring that has led many away from God.

Yes but it's far from the only thing. The whole idea of having "created the heavens and the earth" with the earth the only really important spot in all of it and having only one son that was sent to lead /save *one* chosen race on one world & to hell with all the countlessly infinite others easily makes white supremacy look like the lame afterthought it was.

Maybe the Bible is about humanity, not the Galactic Federation?

Oh I am quite sure of that. Especially one group of humanity.
But why can't we be included in that too when we're ready? It is our galaxy and humanoids happen. We are living proof of that.
Still if that's true then a lot of scriptural text is if not outright lies then at best highly misleading. Example your reference to Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2 I would correct to just read Gen 1:1. The "...and the Earth" part according to current estimates was roughly 10 B.Y. after the "heavens" part. Why even bother going to 1:2? But no hint is given in the scriptural writings of this time shift. "Need to know" I guess.
Still one of my pet peeves is the translation we generally get of it into English. Almost never is there any plural reference to God yet that's what the original Hebrew word Elohim is. Plus all the uses of the words "we" and "us" in case it has difficulty sinking in with most readers.
You have to read it very carefully ever checking against the original meaning of words. It is just such a pain. Then it quietly shifts to singular without the slightest hint. I mean, what-?

I agree. It'd be nice if we had an Encyclopedia Galactica, which included all possible scientific and technological information needed to produce a superculture. But humanity isn't qualified to get one of those yet. If the Bible really IS the Word of God, isn't it reasonable to expect it to require careful study and checking for proper understanding?

Thank you for the Ussher reference (in an Alterverse?), I regard the Biblical 'days' as logarithmic rather than linear.
With the Presbyterians, I've done Bible Study of the Prophetic Books & Revelations with Critical Thinking mandatory. Also done 'Embracing the Prophets in Contemporary Times" (Walter Brueggemann) at a United Church. At a Pentecostal Sunday School last week, we discussed Rev. 22 with open dialogue allowed. Also study Mystic Gnosticism with some Sufis.

"I regard the Biblical 'days' as logarithmic rather than linear."
So I think did Peter. II Peter Ch.3 v.8 puts it into terms understood in the Roman world of 33 AD. Neat little ref to time not found in all those other books that sort of settles a lot of argument.
I hope to meet him one day.

Others use 2P3:8 as proof of the 6 days that God made the world DIRECTLY supports the 6ky age of the earth & the millennium of peace that'll follow anytime soon.
Daniel (160B) & Revelation (90) mention, Half an Age, An Age & 2 Ages (42 mo. roughly from Inauguration to next Election?) , that's part of a binary sequence. The former was written when Israel was still under Hellenic influence, the Greeks were mad about numbers then.

I hate it almost as much as when Racheal Ray says "EVOO", butI love ROLO. Those little caramel covered chunks of goodness make my toes curl with excitement.

Oooh... stuff a ROLO into a marshmallow, and roast it. Seriously delicious.

Amen

Why not? I only live once. :-)

Oh lord I am so out of the loop, I had to look it up.
