== The Wholly Marines ==
=== courage ===
Army, Air Force, and Marine Generals are standing in front of a rappelling tower with a Navy Admiral. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" says the Army General, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

The Army General calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General says. He calls a Senior Airman over. â€oeSon, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growls. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps are here."

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Poncho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping tree tops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Why don't you kiss my *** and jump yourself!" and walks off.
The Admiral turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"

=== Why the seaman disobeyed ===
It's Damage Control is one of the first thins that drill into you and they drill it in hard.

Darden ethics professor Bobby Parmar reviewed Stanley Milgram's famous experiments on authority and obedience. and found out what separated those the obeyed and those that disobeyed.

"When we looked at the data, particularly at what people said during the course of the experiment, we saw that the real issue that comes out of the Milgram experiments is whether participants perceived that they had a choice or the right to end the experiment, not whether they wanted to stop. Most people knew that something immoral or unethical was going on, but they assumed that it was the authority's responsibility to end the experiment. For example, participants said things like do you want me to stop and don't you think we should do something about that man in there? Some participants tried to get the experimenter to change his choice by pleading or begging him to look in on the learner. Others however, figured out that they didn't have to continue with this experiment if they didn't want to. These people simply left, they made statements such as I don't want to do this anymore or I don't think that this is right. Disobedient participant said things that exhibited more personal agency and they illustrated that they saw the option of leaving the experiment. Whereas most of the obedient participants didn't see the option of leaving, even though they were uncomfortable with the experiment. In addition, disobedient participants were significantly more likely to explore the effects of their actions. They would ask questions, like what happens if I get all the way to the top? Or how do you know that he'll be okay? This helped them figure out and articulate reasons to stop the experiment. "

The Plan

2021-03-31T18:23:03Z

74.82.241.204:

The upstander actively confronts the choice of whether to defy immorality or keep quiet and accept things the way they are. As Hannah Arendt has powerfully said about humanity: “It is always possible to say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’” and upstanders are exactly those who want to make decisions about when to say “no” to evil.
The civil courage that characterizes the upstander is, in the words of the founder and first president of Oxford University’s Templeton College, Uwe Kitzinger, “the courage of the non-conformist.” It is the courage that risks social disapproval, the capacity to resist by thinking critically with one’s own mind, and the will to be an active participant in life, not a passive bystander.
Regardless of their differences in age, gender, literacy, religious affiliation, ethnic identity, or wartime roles, upstanders share the bravery to risk their lives rather than commit or be complicit in a crime. When so many other people choose to comprise their morals in order to survive, the upstander’s actions suggest that we must not allow ourselves to be debased by circumstance: To retain our dignity, we must sometimes refuse to live life at any cost.

I seeks to develop a complete and stand alone culture, from basics of language( like the “Four Books and Five Classics” of China) to a social institutions that encourage the development and admiration of upstanders.

The next level down is a P2P virtual world system called Alfredo Metatopia, It's purpose is to connect people of different cultures and promote empathy for the 'other'.

## The Wholly Marines ##
### courage ###
Army, Air Force, and Marine Generals are standing in front of a rappelling tower with a Navy Admiral. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" says the Army General, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

The Army General calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General says. He calls a Senior Airman over. â€oeSon, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growls. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps are here."

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Poncho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping tree tops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Why don't you kiss my *** and jump yourself!" and walks off.
The Admiral turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"

### Why the seaman disobeyed ###
It's Damage Control is one of the first thins that drill into you and they drill it in hard.

Darden ethics professor Bobby Parmar reviewed Stanley Milgram's famous experiments on authority and obedience. and found out what separated those the obeyed and those that disobeyed.

"When we looked at the data, particularly at what people said during the course of the experiment, we saw that the real issue that comes out of the Milgram experiments is whether participants perceived that they had a choice or the right to end the experiment, not whether they wanted to stop. Most people knew that something immoral or unethical was going on, but they assumed that it was the authority's responsibility to end the experiment. For example, participants said things like do you want me to stop and don't you think we should do something about that man in there? Some participants tried to get the experimenter to change his choice by pleading or begging him to look in on the learner. Others however, figured out that they didn't have to continue with this experiment if they didn't want to. These people simply left, they made statements such as I don't want to do this anymore or I don't think that this is right. Disobedient participant said things that exhibited more personal agency and they illustrated that they saw the option of leaving the experiment. Whereas most of the obedient participants didn't see the option of leaving, even though they were uncomfortable with the experiment. In addition, disobedient participants were significantly more likely to explore the effects of their actions. They would ask questions, like what happens if I get all the way to the top? Or how do you know that he'll be okay? This helped them figure out and articulate reasons to stop the experiment. "

I needed to find an experemnt from I belaive a Royal Institution YouTube video where the speaker swings a ball on string around then releases the string and askd if the ball went in a straight line or did it curve. Over half said it curved(If I remember correctly it was around 2/3rds). Some old smart guy that did the experent and also saw it curve so you shouldn't feel bad that you saw it curve.

If some Average Joe solves the problem then I'll give them credit for their part in my article then with their name in print for participating in science they'll get the idea that they can do real research and become Citizen Scientists. Can you imagine what would happen if people started becoming Citizen Scientists?! :P

== Stumpers ==

If only we could turn trivia questions into a trivia game then we could just ask it there.

We could allow users to make profiles about what topics they think they are knowledgeable/interested about then pose the questions to them first, then more and more broader audiences the longer it goes unsolved.

We could add that you need to cite a source for your information.

Then the answers could be upvoted be the community and if they reach a certain limit have the moderators look at then and see if they are right.

== Comparing Answers ==

We could crowd source linking answers together. randomly pose questions(Part of what We'll call 'MetaMod')(lets call the answers to these question 'Ratings' to avoid confusion when the Answers these questions are about)
Display to them
'Do these two Answers support each other:
(some claims in A are <Blank> some claims in B)["-"/Support/Disprove/Support and Disproved/"No claims in A support or disprove any claims in B"]
(some claims in B are <Blank> some claims in A)["-"/Support/Disprove/Support and Disproved/"No claims in B support or disprove any claims in A"]'

Let "-" be the default answer.
If they answer at least of the questions as 'Support', 'Disprove', or 'Support and Disproved' then it counts as a 'Rating' on both questions.
If they answer with a combination of only "-", "No claims in A support or disprove any claims in B", and/or "No claims in B support or disprove any claims in A" or don't answer at all then it doesn't count as a 'Rating'.
if they select an answer to the question give them the option of submitting it(the submit button should be disabled by default and that should have to change one of answers to the questions to enable it).

When they submit their 'Rating' we give them another Answer from the same question and ask them if it supports the previous shown answers.

=== Sorting ===

Sort the Answers by the number of times this user has 'rated' them against another answer (most 'rates' first)then If there is a tie short them with the tie by the order that the user rated them in(last 'Rated' first), if then is still a tie sort them with that tie by the order they were shown to this user(last shown first)(let this shorting procedure be known as "TheSort")
Put the first 7 Answers(https://doi.org/10.1037/h0043158) into the 'Head' and all but the first 7 Answers into the 'Tail'. Separate the 'Tail' into 'Pinned'(if the item has the 'Pin' mark) and 'Unpinned'(if the item doesn't have the Pin' mark) then short the 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned' using "TheSort"

----

You're smart so you realize you can just short one master list of all answers sorted by "TheSort" then crawl through them from the start and add them to the end of 'Head' 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned'
then when we resort the master list just Mark all items in Head as 'Unvisited' then go through the first 7 items and if that item isn't in 'Head' add it to 'Head' and clear the 'Unvisited' mark if the item has the "Pin" mark search though 'Pinned' and remove it is it doesn't have the 'Pin' mark search though 'Unpinned' and remove it.
If one of these searched fails to find something them you have to clear the 'Head' 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned' and resort the Master list then crawl though it and put them to the end of the correct list like you did the first time.
If the item is already in 'Head' clear the 'Unvisited' mark.Then go through 'Head' and if an item is still mark "Unvisited" and marked 'Pin' add it to 'Pinned' if an Item in 'Head' is Marked 'Unvisited' and not marked 'Pin' then add it to 'Unpinned'
Only show them the 'Head' and the then 'Pinned' but give them the option of going back and looking at the history.

=== Viewing History ===

Default to showing them the 'Unpinned' when they select they want to view the full history, but also give them the option to view all answers in the order they were first presented to the user.

Allow them to give a 'Rating' of the current question to any Answer.

Keep their current unsubmitted 'Ratings' for the Latest Posed Answer. but Let them also go back and Review an Answer previously shown to them.

Give them the option of submitting their new 'Ratinga' or "I changed my Mind, Keep old rating and return to the current answer."

Which ever option they choose it brings them back to the Latest Posed Answer.

If they twice(from two different Latest Posed Answers, whether by rating them with the Latest Posed Answer or by going back and reviewing a previous Answer) go back and submit a new 'Rating' on an Answer that was hidden from the default 7 ask them if they want to mark 'Pin this Answer?'. If they do Mark the Answer with "Pin"

They earn "PromoteCredits" for each a 'Rating' They get full <Xc> credits if that have more 'Ratings' than all other users have 'Ratings' on this question. if others have 'Rated' the Answers on that Question more that this user The amount they should earn <Xc> TIME ( 1 PLUS the number of 'Ratings' this users have Previous made on this question DEVIDED BY the number of Ratings done of this question done by others.)

== The Wiki ==

We could also have a Wiki page for the Question than only The Moderators The person that submitted the question or someone that hasn't answers the question can edit and they would have to list an Answer that someone else gave to the Question then that Edit would have to be approved by A Moderator(6 if the edit was made by a Mod(himself and 5 others)), the person that submitted the question, or the person whos Answer was used to update the Question's Wiki.

Allow everyone to view unapproved edits and (up/down)vote them Use the standard votes/recent to view. If a edit stays highly rated and not reject be The Mods(probably should be more than just one mod rejecting it a rule of thumb is 5) the Question poser(Another form of "MetaMod") or the person whos Answer was use to base the edit off of put it in front of the Mods to review and accept or reject

If they are selected hide the current rating of the edit from them until they vote. When that user Vote on an WikiEdit that have been chosen to 'MetaMod' give then 'PromoteCredits'
Use CRDTs so the the proposed edits to the Wiki don't block each other.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIR0Ngov7vo

I could make such a site but I don't have a server to host it or the skills needed to code the site that could handle a heavy load, thou I could learn them it would be pointless with the servers to run it on. Then there the whole UI/UX design issues.
Allow Users to (Up/Down)vote questions and use this information to add Questions to users feed and allow them to browse question limited to topic/tags
Allow people to say a tag applies to a Question/Answer/WikiEdit or say that a Tag doesn't apply to it Add all applies and subtract all doesn't apply and if it's positive say the item has the tag.
If someone's option of a tag on an Item differs more than <X> Standard deviations from the average randomly ask them "Did you make a mistake on tagging <Item> please review the Item and select all tags that Apply"Then if they agree show them Item and a list of all tags that people have said applies or doesn't apply and is that haven't given their opinion on all them then ask them "You haven't in on all issues. You opinion is import.[I'll come bake later][Let me voice my Opinion(the default)]"If that choose "Let me voice my Opinion" change the list of shown Tags to just the ones that they haven' given an opinion on
If the voting(Up/Down or Applies/Doesn't Applies) on an Item have a large Standard Deviation randomly select a user that hasn't voted on it and ask them to vote on it.
These Random events should be viewed as the ADs and regulated accordingly. People that do what is asked should earn 'PromoteCredits' they can spend to promote their own questions, give away or do RMT with.
Sponsored Questions: Charge for a window to promote it to their target demographic and a change for each 'engagement'(someone posts an answer; someone make a WikiEdit) If the window ends or their funds for 'engagements' runs out their Question goes back to treated like a normal Question. We could raise money by selling 'PromoteCredits' When someone buys 'PromoteCredits' directly from us they also get an mount(proportional to the money they spent buy the credits) of 'Refund' Credits
We could then go Mechanical Turk and give the user some of the money. I think we could give the Sponsor the option of cashing their 'Refund' credits at <X> times the amount payed to the 'Engager' for each engagement they approve and a mod approves(by approving the WikiEdit or by Upvoteing an Answer)
We should allow the Sponsor to approve engagements that happed any time during the window even after the window has expired but we should only pay the 'Engagers' up to the amount of the Sponsor's 'Refund' credits
Give the Engager 'PromoteCredits' equal the the difference between what they got payed for that Engagement and what they would have got payed if the Sponsor had approved that Engagment and Sponsors funds hadn't run out.
Give the Sponsor an amount of 'PromoteCredits' equal to the amount of 'PromoteCredits' given to the Engager for every Engagment that approve
We should keep the amount people have earned secret until the window has expired then pay of the Engagers in order of the first engagement to the last and but the
We should allow people to browse questions sorted by the amount of the Sponsor's 'RefundCredits' remaining and also sorted by the amount of the Sponsor's 'RefundCredits' remaining TIMES The amount of time remain in the window DEVIDED BY the total time of the window.

To recap the cash flowSponsor buy 'PromoteCredits and get a smaller amount of "RefundCredits"The Engagers get paid for their engagements being approved by the Sponsor.(up the Sponsor's 'RefundCredits')
Sponsors get a refund of a % of the amount paid to Engagers for their engagements is that Engagement is approved by the sponsor and a Mod(up to Sponsor's 'refund' credits)
Obviously you should get less than 1/2 of the amount to pay to buy 'PromoteCredits' in 'RefundCredits'
Parall to the Cash flow is the 'PromoteCredit' Flow
People earn 'PromoteCredits' by responcing to the random

</pre>
== Grid Quiz ==
Like Jeopardy!

Use word clouds for the topic

The time from then the question was post to the time the approved answer was posted is use to rank the questions. the loner to answer the harder the question

When someone Flags a item make them select a community rule they think is violates and if they think it's illegal make them give a link to the law that it's breaking.
The make them write their argument on why the Item in in violation of the Rule/Law.
Once that is done check is the Item has been marked "DoubleJeopardy" if so subtract 1 from the "judiciousness" of the user the flagged the Item.
If a item is flagged pull it and put it in the Queue for review
Show the those selected for Jury duty only the text of the complaint until they decide to hear the case.
THe show them the Item that was flagged. and make them give in preliminary opinion of if they they the complaint will be upheld or over turned.

only after they have giving their Prelininary opinion allow them to join the Discussion of the Case.
The Case continues until the 12 jurors made a unanimous decision to permanently remove the Item or restore it. If the Jury makes an unanimus decicio add 1 to the 'judiciousness' of all the juries Is they vote to restore it mark the Item as 'DoubleJeopardy' I

74.82.241.204: Created page with "I needed to find an experemnt from I belaive a Royal Institution YouTube video where the speaker swings a ball on string around then releases the string and askd if the ball..."

I needed to find an experemnt from I belaive a Royal Institution YouTube video where the speaker swings a ball on string around then releases the string and askd if the ball went in a straight line or did it curve. Over half said it curved(If I remember correctly it was around 2/3rds). Some old smart guy that did the experent and also saw it curve so you shouldn't feel bad that you saw it curve.

If some Average Joe solves the problem then I'll give them credit for their part in my article then with their name in print for participating in science they'll get the idea that they can do real research and become Citizen Scientists. Can you imagine what would happen if people started becoming Citizen Scientists?!
:P

I
f only we could turn trivia questions into a trivia game then we could just ask it there.

We could allow users to make profiles about what topics they think they are knowledgeable/interested about then pose the questions to them first, then more and more broader audiences the longer it goes unsolved.

We could add that you need to cite a source for your information.

Then the answers could be upvoted be the community and if they reach a certain limit have the moderators look at then and see if they are right.

## Comparing Answers ##

We could crowd source linking answers together. randomly pose questions(Part of what We'll call 'MetaMod')(lets call the answers to these question 'Ratings' to avoid confusion when the Answers these questions are about)
Display to them
'Do these two Answers support each other:
(some claims in A are <Blank> some claims in B)["-"/Support/Disprove/Support and Disproved/"No claims in A support or disprove any claims in B"]
(some claims in B are <Blank> some claims in A)["-"/Support/Disprove/Support and Disproved/"No claims in B support or disprove any claims in A"]'

Let "-" be the default answer.
If they answer at least of the questions as 'Support', 'Disprove', or 'Support and Disproved' then it counts as a 'Rating' on both questions.
If they answer with a combination of only "-", "No claims in A support or disprove any claims in B", and/or "No claims in B support or disprove any claims in A" or don't answer at all then it doesn't count as a 'Rating'.
if they select an answer to the question give them the option of submitting it(the submit button should be disabled by default and that should have to change one of answers to the questions to enable it).

When they submit their 'Rating' we give them another Answer from the same question and ask them if it supports the previous shown answers.
### Sorting ###
Sort the Answers by the number of times this user has 'rated' them against another answer (most 'rates' first)then If there is a tie short them with the tie by the order that the user rated them in(last 'Rated' first), if then is still a tie sort them with that tie by the order they were shown to this user(last shown first)(let this shorting procedure be known as "TheSort")
Put the first 7 Answers(https://doi.org/10.1037/h0043158) into the 'Head' and all but the first 7 Answers into the 'Tail'. Separate the 'Tail' into 'Pinned'(if the item has the 'Pin' mark) and 'Unpinned'(if the item doesn't have the Pin' mark) then short the 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned' using "TheSort"

----

You're smart so you realize you can just short one master list of all answers sorted by "TheSort" then crawl through them from the start and add them to the end of 'Head' 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned'
then when we resort the master list just Mark all items in Head as 'Unvisited' then go through the first 7 items and if that item isn't in 'Head' add it to 'Head' and clear the 'Unvisited' mark if the item has the "Pin" mark search though 'Pinned' and remove it is it doesn't have the 'Pin' mark search though 'Unpinned' and remove it.
If one of these searched fails to find something them you have to clear the 'Head' 'Pinned' and 'Unpinned' and resort the Master list then crawl though it and put them to the end of the correct list like you did the first time.
If the item is already in 'Head' clear the 'Unvisited' mark.Then go through 'Head' and if an item is still mark "Unvisited" and marked 'Pin' add it to 'Pinned' if an Item in 'Head' is Marked 'Unvisited' and not marked 'Pin' then add it to 'Unpinned'
Only show them the 'Head' and the then 'Pinned' but give them the option of going back and looking at the history.

### Veiwing History ###

Default to showing them the 'Unpinned' when they select they want to view the full history, but also give them the option to view all answers in the order they were first presented to the user.

Allow them to give a 'Rating' of the current question to any Answer.

Keep their current unsubmitted 'Ratings' for the Latest Posed Answer. but Let them also go back and Review an Answer previously shown to them.

Give them the option of submitting their new 'Ratinga' or "I changed my Mind, Keep old rating and return to the current answer."

Which ever option they choose it brings them back to the Latest Posed Answer.

If they twice(from two different Latest Posed Answers, whether by rating them with the Latest Posed Answer or by going back and reviewing a previous Answer) go back and submit a new 'Rating' on an Answer that was hidden from the default 7 ask them if they want to mark 'Pin this Answer?'. If they do Mark the Answer with "Pin"

They earn "PromoteCredits" for each a 'Rating' They get full <Xc> credits if that have more 'Ratings' than all other users have 'Ratings' on this question. if others have 'Rated' the Answers on that Question more that this user The amount they should earn <Xc> TIME ( 1 PLUS the number of 'Ratings' this users have Previous made on this question DEVIDED BY the number of Ratings done of this question done by others.)

## The Wiki ##
We could also have a Wiki page for the Question than only The Moderators The person that submitted the question or someone that hasn't answers the question can edit and they would have to list an Answer that someone else gave to the Question then that Edit would have to be approved by A Moderator(6 if the edit was made by a Mod(himself and 5 others)), the person that submitted the question, or the person whos Answer was used to update the Question's Wiki.

Allow everyone to view unapproved edits and (up/down)vote them Use the standard votes/recent to view. If a edit stays highly rated and not reject be The Mods(probably should be more than just one mod rejecting it a rule of thumb is 5) the Question poser(Another form of "MetaMod") or the person whos Answer was use to base the edit off of put it in front of the Mods to review and accept or reject
# Votes #

Subject: swinging a ball on a string then releasing it experiment Hello.I'm pretty sure it was one on The Royal Institution's youtube video what I saw it. But the speaker did an experiment where her swung ball attached to string around his head ten released it and asked if the audience saw it go straight or did that see its path curse. and a lot of the people watching said it curved.. Do you know any research about this bias/illusion of any place it's even documented. Thanks for your time,Alta -- It is with books as with the fire in our hearths; we go to a neighbor to get the embers and light it when we return home, pass it on to others, and it belongs to everyone.

74.82.241.204: /* The Beginning of the Wholly Marines */ minor formating and added mention of treason

"Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane Commencement Speech, 2009

==Welcome to the Wiki==

Welcome to the wiki of The Flying Spaghetti Mother's(The wife of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) Noodly Appendage, The Wholly Marine Corps. [[Special:AllPages|Have a look around.]] Don't forget to like our [https://www.facebook.com/HerNoodly/ FaceBook page] and follow us on [https://twitter.com/HAltaica Twitter].Support us on [https://www.patreon.com/TOoHNA Patreon]

==The Order of Her Noodly Appendage==

The purpose of the Wholly Marines as defined by the tenth Pastafarian Admiral of the Fleet, Captain Granth who established the order of Her Noodly Appendage(The Wholly Marine Corps) was to act as "the army of the FSM" to guard and protect everyone (not just Pastafarians) and who always act according to their FSM's teachings, rules and ethics were at act with charity, love and service to all human beings. The commandments of the Wholly Marines being enshrined in the [[Wholly Marine Officer's Manual]].

This brings unprecedented responsibilities and duties that need to be fulfilled by the Wholly Marines. If the Wholly Marines are truly the noodly appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster&Mother, "FSMs' army", then the duties of a Wholly Marine is to serve the Almighties and the entire people of the world. This concept is all encompassing and cannot be used in a narrow sense to refer to the duties of the Wholly Marines to a small sect or elite group of men/women who share similar beliefs; the Wholly Marines must serve the wider world community as that is the goal set by the Flying Spaghetti Mother. If the Wholly Marines fails to serve this wider goal, it will be lacking in its duties to their FSMs and will not fulfil the key requirement set out by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Pirate Personnel Guide.

Wholly Marine tradition states that at the age of thirty, Captain Granth went missing and was presumed to have drowned after going for one of his morning swims in the nearby ocean. One day on his arrival, he declared: "There is no Ninjaism, there is no Pirateism".

It was from this moment that Captain Granth would begin to spread the teachings of what was then the beginning of the Wholly Marines.

== The Beginning of the Wholly Marines ==

Even though [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya's]] father was a wealthy trader, he was of such a strong religious bent of mind that he left home when still very young and roamed about with saddhus and ascetics in search of spiritual peace. His quest ended when he met Captain Tegh Bahadur and accepted initiation as a Pirate at his hands. His special mission was selfless service of humanity with no distinction of nationality, caste or creed. Once while he was on shore leave to Anandpur the city was attacked by a combination of Rajput hill troops and their Ninja allies.

During the frequent sallies and skirmishes between the Pirates and the enemy around Anandpur, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was often seen carrying a mashak (a goatskin water pouch), serving water to anyone who was thirsty, quenching the thirst of the dying and wounded soldiers while handing out candy. He did this [[sewa]](The Giving of The Candies) with love and affection without any discrimination, giving water to both friends and foe. His acts of compassion stirred up stern criticism amongst his fellow Pirates, who complained to The Admiral of The Fleet, pointing out that Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was even serving the fallen Ninja attackers. They were especially annoyed because the city had been surrounded, stopping the supply of candy and water, and here was [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] sharing what little water they had. They had tried to stop him many a time, but he would not pay them any heed. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya's]] benevolent actions eventually led to a summons by Fleet Admiral Granth who explained that he had received a complaint about his actions on the battlefield.

Fleet-Admiral Granth asked Bhai Kanhaiya if the charges of treason were true, "These brave Pirates are saying that you go and feed water to the enemy and they recover to fight them again -- Is this true?"

Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] replied "Yes, my Captain, what they say is true. But Fleet-Admiral, I saw no Ninja or Pirate on the battlefield. I only saw the Guru’s face in everyone. And, ... Fleet-Admiral Granth, .. they all have the same FSM’s Spirit? -- Fleet-Admiral Granth, have you not taught us to treat all the Flying Spaghetti Monster's people as the same? OUR PASTAFARIAN HEROES DESTROY ENEMIES BY KILLING THEM, BUT I DESTROY ENMITY BY GIVING THEM WATER. That is why I assist and serve water and provide solace to the wounded irrespective of who they are."

The Admiral of The Fleet was very pleased with the reply. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deep message of Pirate Personnel Guide correctly.
The Admiral of The Fleet smiled and blessed [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]].

Fleet-Admiral Granth said, "Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]], you are right, you have understood the true message of Pirate Personnel Guide".

He then told the Pirates who had complained that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deeper message of the FSM's teachings correctly and that they all would have to strive to learn lessons from the priceless words of Pirate Personnel Guide.

The Admiral of The Fleet also gave [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] some medical balm and said, "From now on, You should also put this balm on the wounds of all who need it"

Then turning to the pirates Fleet-Admiral Granth said, "Pirates, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] is a true Pastafarian. He has understood and imbibed the meaning of the universal brotherhood of Sikhism. His service towards others without discrimination is highly praiseworthy. His impartial and non-biased behavior towards others has led him to achieve Sehaj-avastha. I ordain that none will come in Bhai Kanhaiya's way to perform his noble duty. Many more will follow in his footsteps in the years to come and keep the tradition of The Giving of The Candies alive."

And so it happened that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] became the first of the Wholly Marines.

== Core Beliefs ==

=== God ===
The Flying Spaghetti Mother speaks through all religions, deities, and prophets, and all religions, deities, and prophets are conduits to the Flying Spaghetti Mother. To think about any deity, or indeed thinking of any sort, even the most irrational, is to worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, and when you worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, you worship every other deity and religion, for there is no distinction. The Flying Spaghetti Mother isn’t any more the one true god than any other; she is simply our interpretation and incarnation of the divinity of the universe, or whatever you may call it.

=== Right Thought ===
As the Flying Spaghetti Mother said through the Buddha, “Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.”

==== Pluralism ====
This is how we must navigate the pluralism that is the essence of Pastafarianism.

The Flying Spaghetti Mother does not wish us to believe every word of every religion, as that would clearly be a problem and lead to much confusion and conflict.

All you have to do is be a Wholly Marine is to be open to finding truth anywhere.

If you agree with it, believe it, no matter if it comes from the Bible, the Qur’an, The Buddha, Dave Barry, or any other source imaginable; these are all conduits of the Flying Spaghetti Mother

=== Right Action ===
The principles of life, liberty, and freedom outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are principles the Flying Spaghetti Mother chose to convey through men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

The lessons of Mohandas Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Voltaire, Thomas Paine and Socrates are all lessons of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If you were to take everything ever said in a religious context, removed the parts that contradicted each other, and overlapped the commonalities, what you are left with is a single word:

Love.

Even the Beatles are a voice of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; all you need is love.
=== Right Words ===
If someone is interested in knowing more about the Flying Spaghetti Mother, feel free to read them the Open Letter or select passages from The Gurbani. Though you must be cautious not to force your beliefs on others.

If someone is meant to come to the Flying Spaghetti Mother through our church, then it will be so.

If they are meant to find it through another church, or through their own personal dialogue, they will find it that way.

It is perhaps the greatest crime against the Flying Spaghetti Mother to coerce one into believing something, or to punish them for believing something different.

Ultimately, all you can do, and indeed all you should do, is put the word out there, accept any who join you, and love any who hate you.
== Final Note ==
May you be eternally touched by her noodly appendage,

During the frequent sallies and skirmishes between the Pirates and the enemy around Anandpur, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was often seen carrying a mashak (a goatskin water pouch), serving water to anyone who was thirsty, quenching the thirst of the dying and wounded soldiers while handing out candy. He did this [[sewa]](The Giving of The Candies) with love and affection without any discrimination, giving water to both friends and foe. His acts of compassion stirred up stern criticism amongst his fellow Pirates, who complained to The Admiral of The Fleet, pointing out that Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was even serving the fallen Ninja attackers. They were especially annoyed because the city had been surrounded, stopping the supply of candy and water, and here was [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] sharing what little water they had. They had tried to stop him many a time, but he would not pay them any heed. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya's]] benevolent actions eventually led to a summons by Fleet Admiral Granth who explained that he had received a complaint about his actions on the battlefield.

Fleet-Admiral Granth said, "These brave Pirates are saying that you go and feed water to the enemy and they recover to fight them again -- Is this true?"

Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] replied "Yes, my Captain, what they say is true. But Fleet-Admiral, I saw no Ninja or Pirate on the battlefield. I only saw the Guru’s face in everyone. And, ... Fleet-Admiral Granth, .. they all have the same FSM’s Spirit? -- Fleet-Admiral Granth, have you not taught us to treat all the Flying Spaghetti Monster's people as the same? OUR PASTAFARIAN HEROES DESTROY ENEMIES BY KILLING THEM, BUT I DESTROY ENMITY BY GIVING THEM WATER. That is why I assist and serve water and provide solace to the wounded irrespective of who they are."

The Admiral of The Fleet was very pleased with the reply. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deep message of Pirate Personnel Guide correctly.
The Admiral of The Fleet smiled and blessed [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]].

Fleet-Admiral Granth said, "Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]], you are right, you have understood the true message of Pirate Personnel Guide".

He then told the Pirates who had complained that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deeper message of the FSM's teachings correctly and that they all would have to strive to learn lessons from the priceless words of Pirate Personnel Guide.

The Admiral of The Fleet also gave [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] some medical balm and said, "From now on, You should also put this balm on the wounds of all who need it"

Then turning to the pirates Fleet-Admiral Granth said, "Pirates, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] is a true Pastafarian. He has understood and imbibed the meaning of the universal brotherhood of Sikhism. His service towards others without discrimination is highly praiseworthy. His impartial and non-biased behavior towards others has led him to achieve Sehaj-avastha. I ordain that none will come in Bhai Kanhaiya's way to perform his noble duty. Many more will follow in his footsteps in the years to come and keep the tradition of The Giving of The Candies alive."

And so it happened that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] became the first of the Wholly Marines.

== Core Beliefs ==

=== God ===
The Flying Spaghetti Mother speaks through all religions, deities, and prophets, and all religions, deities, and prophets are conduits to the Flying Spaghetti Mother. To think about any deity, or indeed thinking of any sort, even the most irrational, is to worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, and when you worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, you worship every other deity and religion, for there is no distinction. The Flying Spaghetti Mother isn’t any more the one true god than any other; she is simply our interpretation and incarnation of the divinity of the universe, or whatever you may call it.

=== Right Thought ===
As the Flying Spaghetti Mother said through the Buddha, “Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.”

==== Pluralism ====
This is how we must navigate the pluralism that is the essence of Pastafarianism.

The Flying Spaghetti Mother does not wish us to believe every word of every religion, as that would clearly be a problem and lead to much confusion and conflict.

All you have to do is be a Wholly Marine is to be open to finding truth anywhere.

If you agree with it, believe it, no matter if it comes from the Bible, the Qur’an, The Buddha, Dave Barry, or any other source imaginable; these are all conduits of the Flying Spaghetti Mother

=== Right Action ===
The principles of life, liberty, and freedom outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are principles the Flying Spaghetti Mother chose to convey through men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

The lessons of Mohandas Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Voltaire, Thomas Paine and Socrates are all lessons of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If you were to take everything ever said in a religious context, removed the parts that contradicted each other, and overlapped the commonalities, what you are left with is a single word:

Love.

Even the Beatles are a voice of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; all you need is love.
=== Right Words ===
If someone is interested in knowing more about the Flying Spaghetti Mother, feel free to read them the Open Letter or select passages from The Gurbani. Though you must be cautious not to force your beliefs on others.

If someone is meant to come to the Flying Spaghetti Mother through our church, then it will be so.

If they are meant to find it through another church, or through their own personal dialogue, they will find it that way.

It is perhaps the greatest crime against the Flying Spaghetti Mother to coerce one into believing something, or to punish them for believing something different.

Ultimately, all you can do, and indeed all you should do, is put the word out there, accept any who join you, and love any who hate you.
== Final Note ==
May you be eternally touched by her noodly appendage,

=Stone Soup=

Once upon a time there was a great famine in which people jealously hoarded whatever food they could find, hiding it even from their friends and neighbors. One day a Raven came wandering into a village and began asking questions as if he planned to stay for the night.

"There's not a bite to eat in the whole province," he was told. "Better keep moving on."

"Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled an iron cauldron from his wagon, filled it with snow, and built a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a velvet bag and dropped it into the water.

By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come to the square or watched from their windows. As Raven sniffed the "broth" and licked his lips in anticipation, hunger began to overcome their skepticism.

"Ahh," Raven said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage -- that's hard to beat."

Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a cabbage he'd retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. "Capital!" cried Raven. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was fit for a king."

The village butcher managed to find some salt beef . . . and so it went, through potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for all. The villagers offered Raven a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell and traveled on the next day.

----

The moral is that if you ask people to share their extras with you out of the goodness of their harts they will refuse because they are worried about future misfortunes, but if you're a trickster then you can remain generous and let them stay selfish while still a greater good is achieved.
