Back to OP's point about karma.
The concept of Karma seems to be all joy and cool people loving each other. It isn't, in any way.
Karma is a tool of social control. They exist in all religions, Buddhism has karma and it's a very powerful one.
The first mistake in the interpretation of karma is that if you do good, you will get better in return.
This doesn't happen within a life but in the next ones. Unless you believe in reincarnation, karma is moot.
The real deal with karma is that if you live a crappy life and get exploited at a very low social level, you deserve it and you're faulty because you did bad in your previous lives.
You have no right to complain, you can't expect to move higher in society.
All you can do is remain modest an humble about your condition and accept it so eventually after a few life cycles you will get a better position.
It is a concept that has been used to preserve the position of elites for a few thousand years.

I think it's so uncool to always use the word cool. 
Eh, I mean it's just not hot to use cool.
...and don't use hot, as it isn't cool...???

"Awesome". Most of what I hear described as "awesome" is moderately interesting or exciting at best.
I dont believe the OPs point was about Karma
What? You don't expect people to actually read the thread first post (avoiding the use of the over-used "OP") do you? I am laughing with my mouth open and sound is coming out (avoiding the use of the over-used "LOL").

Considering to add BASS...
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I've been seeing it alot lately. I hate it when someone bumps a sales thread by saying why they won't buy it. Say, for example, someone is selling a 4 ohm cabinet and someone else says "Wish it was an 8 ohm BUMP". I guess they think they're being nice by bumping the thread, but it really seems like a d**k move to me.
