People pay thousands of dollars to bury their dead in a hole in the ground with some nice velvet lining. I can understand their frustration when young people jump all over it. The morality of the situation, I think, is irrelevant. They don't want you on there, don't go on there.

My two billion dollar tombstone would have spikes and razorblades soaked in alcohol. It would read: Here lies Carwin, can you kong it?

I wanna give my opinion on this disregarding PK but tombstones in general, and I will hoping I wont get hated for this.

Not to long ago I told my wife -when I die, I want to be cremated and thrown in the ocean or from the top of a mountain-. -Why?- she asked out of curiosity more than amazement. To which I responded -Because I dont want people to go to a stone on the ground and cry for my ass. I am not there, it is all dirt, bones and maybe a few maggots. I am having fun in another plane of this universe, be happy that I evolved to another dimension-

My point, well ok yes, we leave in a world where religions lead this world, sad but true. I give all my respects to all of you who follow a religion and it is not my intend to offend anyone, this is just me speaking my mind and respecting everyone else for their opinion. I am just in my full right to give mine without fighting anyone else's believe, I just follow the path of the Acai and you know all that.

So in my opinion this kids are just not smart enough to realize some people may get offended, they are innocent kids who aside the fact that they take drops that obviously are not ready for just wanted a place to train. Grave yards (in my opinion) are places were people store bodies, it is to my understanding that in the past people started doing that to avoid deceases, with time then they had a place to go back and morn for them if they wanted to. It is us who due to what is taught to us put this big meaning in stones on the ground were bones and dead bodies are store.

This bodies also make our history for the future generations, that I do defend, so if this kids damage this tombstones then I do think it is messed up, history is all we are and it is the one and only thing we can leave when we die.

I dont expect for anyone to agree and wont argue it as this is not something to really argue about it is just my point of view and opinion. After all we are all different and that is what makes us unique. Now I am going to light up a candle so more rain can fall in my dear acai berry seeds in south America. Love ya all.

I'm kind of there with you Ozzi. I've even passed by a graveyard or two and gone "Hmmmm...."

Problem is, although they are a bunch of stones to some, they have a profound meaning to others, particularly living family members, and are seen as the final resting place. It's these people we have to respect. (not to mention if they're right, then we are disturbing people who'll be waiting for us on the other side... SPOOKY). And you are right, these kids simply weren't taught the basics of respect. I HOPE their community doesn't see this as something PK advocates.

Regardless of how a person's views may differ from ours, they still must be respected. This is a world we all must share. There are plenty of places to do PK. Graveyards and places of worship, hmmm... If we can't respect those, at least do it for the PK community. Let's keep negative press abay.

PEACE!

Exactly. Our goal is to adapt. We can keep our beliefs and desire for a perfect efficient path, but certain obstacles disallow us from a perfect path, and we must adapt ourselves to the environment. In this case, society's need for graveyards is an obstacle, and it is up to us to change ourselves, and not disturb the environment that supports us, just as we should not knock down the wall because it is in our way, but shape ourselves to overcome it without disturbing it.

But that doesn't mean we can't still talk about it, and discuss the most efficient path, and what we wish the world was like.

I liked the kids response from the youtube message. Show's they have matured. Props to them.
