Unfortunately not, I wish there was but logically thinking there how can there be some crazy power out there keeping track of the good people do and counting the bad and plotting some kind of revenge for it. Karma is a beautiful idea we created to help us get threw the tough times in life. It helps us in believing the world is fair.

No....there's far too many examples of it NOT existing to even entertain that it's real.
Besides, the people who talk about karma, they use it more as a 'told ya so', or a feeling of revenge or wrath...so that itself is so twisted from what karma is supposed to even be for. It's supposed to be a rule to live YOUR life by, not a magical revenge "service".

Yes and even science backs it up somewhat because if you respect someone, the chances are, they will end up respecting you and you get something back.

Not sure if I believe in it, but it's a comforting thought, but in my experience good things seem to happen to babd people and vise versa xxx

I believe in karma, but not as some magical force keeping a tally to reward and punish people later in life. I believe that people create their own karma. If you're an asshole and run around screwing people over, you'll mess with the wrong person or do the wrong thing and pay for it. Likewise if you're generally good to others, you'll be rewarded in kind when you need help. Kind of a "you get what you put into it" thing.

I don't believe in Karma so much as I believe in common sense.
Most people that don't like me are the kind of people that don't like anyone (or they are not very social people, but I usually get the hint and leave them alone). I'm a pretty zen person, I always have been. It's very rare that I get caught up in any real drama and I am very easy to talk to. I don't really *do* anything that one would consider offensive, so if someone is angry at me, usually it is because THEY are the negative person and negative people only truly attract other negative people who do negative things and blah blah blah...
That's not really karma though. I don't think that, when something bad happens to people that do negative things to me that it is Karma. I think that it's common sense. If you're the type of person that is going to be negative to someone that is not being negative towards you, chances are that you vent your negativity into other areas of your life as well.
Negativity begets negetivity. The only people that will put up with a bad attitude like that are people with a bad attitude. I don't wish for some divine justice towards "bad" people, or people who are jerks. It must suck going through your life not knowing that your negativity, which is something that you could change, is responsible for the majority of your problems :/
But if anyone proves that Karma is a joke, it's Ben Bernanke.

nearly 15 seconds later, he hit his head on the car roof while getting into the car.

If Karma was real then how would you explain the fact that assholes who treat girls like shit always get laid, and nice guys never get any????

Because those assholes end up getting herpes.
If you fuck a ton of chicks, chances are, you're going to get careless and come across some easy slut that doesn't have the sense to use a condom and one little bit of skin on skin contact...
It's like stickin your dick in a sewer. Do not want.

How's that karma? That's just simple odds. Nothing magical about calculated risk. No great magical forces at work there.
Karma would be more like if a guy is just awful to people, and sleeps with ONE woman his whole life and she gives him herpes. More something totally unexpected and UNLIKELY.

...could you uhm... could you point out where in that post did I mention Karma?
I just said guys that fuck a lot of chicks will eventually end up getting herpes. I didn't say anything about my belief or lack of belief in Karma.

...uhm...because of your response to the guy above you. The guy above you said:
"If Karma was real then how would you explain the fact that assholes who treat girls like shit always get laid, and nice guys never get any????"
...and, uhm...you said in reply...uhm...:
"Because those assholes end up getting herpes."
So...uhm...one would tend to interpret that conversation pretty simply as you saying they get herpes for being assholes vis karma. Uhm...ok?
Hope that...uhm...clears things up.

I still don't see where I said anything about Karma.
I believe that I identified the contracting of the herpes with chance when I said "chances are" but hey, it's your intepretation.
And you should probably get that "uhm" issue sorted out too. I would suggest a public speaking course at your local community college. You may give off the impression of having a speech disorder to others or a lack of public speaking skills in general. This can be detrimental during a job interview or employment as many modern jobs now require their employees to type coherent e-mails on top of adequite speech in real life.

Not in the magic sense, no. But I tend to be nice to people and people tend to be nice to me. People I know who are mean tend to have people be mean to them. It's basic social logic.

Chicken Karma. Yummy. Or is it Korma? Actually, it's Coma and you need to rest your head on a Pilau and wait for your Naan to make some soup.
Indian food based levity. Kind of awful, isn't it? I wish I hadn't written any of this. Goodbye.

No. Karma necessitates the belief in a higher power with a sense of justice, which I don't. Nor any higher power, for that matter.
