Do ya' believe in the all so justifying "Karma"?

My Name is Earl TOTALLY got me thinking about karma, and now when I'm mean to someone I make it up to him/her. Like at my uncle's Fourth of July party, there was this little ten-year-old who played pokemon, and he was being a snot about it and bragging on how he was so awesome (he knew I played pokemon too, so that's why). So I was kinda nasty to him, but I made it up to him by introducing him to Bulbapedia and Serebii.net and apologizing for being cranky.
 
Karma is, as Gymnotide said, an illusion. Confirmation bias at its best. There's something like karma between the way you treat people and how they treat you back, or that you put in hard work and the result will be better, but that's just common sense (I guess the Hindus/hippies wanted a monopoly on good deeds). However, if you murder someone in the woods, don't feel guilty about it, and no one ever finds the body, you'll go on with life. Karma is just such a vague concept because it doesn't specify how long it takes for the repercussions or benefits to get back to you: it just says, YEAH DUDE DO GOOD THINGS AND LIFE WILL BE SWEET, DUDE I EFFING LOVE THIS WEED IT IS THE BEST.
 
I believe there is karma in the world, just to spice up life for us, instead of just thinking stuff happens because it does. To me, everything happens for a reason, whether it's from an action you've done previously or because you make it happen. It's not fun in life just thinking that things happen for the simplest reason. I like to expand my thoughts of my actions and why they've happened, because it makes life so much clearer for me.
 
I believe in karma, I have 423 karma.
 
Karma exists.

one day, we was making fun of his friend because thier girlfriend called them "[name hear] bear".

If Karma is a myth then explain the 2005 tsunami in Indonesia and the current waves of hurricanes hitting Haiti. God does not like pagans or other heathens squatting on his land.

Are you high or just retarded? Choose wisely between the choices.
 
Fascinating. We see the height of left-liberal political discourse: Assuming their opponents are either high on recreational substances or mentally deficient. If that's what liberals such as yourself think of the common man no wonder you're all so elitist and out of touch.
 
I don't believe in Karma. Sure, everything happens for a reason, but I don't believe that everything you do will come back to bite you at some point later on.

One smart dude right here. =P

I don't believe in Karma...for the simple reason that bad things still happen to good people. Not to be blunt or anything, but according to the theory of Karma, someone who gets murdered, no matter how detached from the murderer or how pure they are, must have done something in the past that would constitute their murder. To me, a belief in karma shows insecurity. Live your life the way you want, not like a mystical force is watching your every move and will punish you for every bad deed you do. Seriously...I'm not that paranoid.
 
I believe in Karma to the degree where I don't let it take over my life. If I do a good thing then I did a good thing and if something good happens to me in return then good for me. Still life has more to it then Karma since bad things still do happen. WHen those bad things happen then it happens because eventually something good will happen.

Not deep but that is my view on Karma.
 
No, because the path of righteousness does not always lead the walker to rewards. The bad guys win as well a lot of the time and nothing happens to them. There is no such thing as karma. Nothing makes bad or good things happen to us depending on our actions.

Wrong, after doing something bad, karma will still hit them smack in the face, it may not just be physically. They could regret it for the rest of their life, equaling karma!

They could regret it for the rest of their life, which would supposedly prove your theory that karma exists.

However, a lot of criminals today don't regret their actions, thus, you are wrong.
