You’ve cynically insinuated that every . single . person . affiliated with a particular religious denomination engages in criminal activity. Lemme ask you this bigot: are the vast majority Muslims good and morally righteous upstanding people? Of course they are which is why to broad brush them as terrorists would be a bigoted trope much in the exact same manner as your smug bigotry. And assuredly you are a bigot.

Ha, I read another account where his spin doctors were trying to pass it off as some culturally "familiar" thing of honor. The article you posted doesn't go into as much detail as the other one I saw, I'll try to find it. Anyway, he's full of shit. I've always been on to this guy and I'll tell you what I mean by that. I don't fawn over people like they're demi-gods, or worse, deities. You guessed it, I don't have a belief system, or maybe better put, my belief system is a full on lack of belief, because of, not in spite of, the shit I was shoveled as a kid. I consider the indoctrination of children abuse, but people rarely see it that way because they put levels of their own indoctrination into comfortable boxes, so therefore, it's harmless. For instance, what's so bad about Bible Study or getting married in a dress to an adult man in the sky when you're 7 as opposed to being beaten physically for xyz transgression and getting screamed at about hellfire, so, when put on a scale, there's nothing wrong with it. Strongly disagree, but there's that part in order to preface the rest. The Dalai Lama is also full of shit in general. He always was. He's just as petty as the next guy, and when I see Hollywood idiots like Richard Gere espousing Buddhism and making documentaries and all this other preachy sycophantic pedagoguery, it makes me fit to puke. Tibet has suffered horribly under the Chinese, we all know this, but they're not the peaceniks they're most commonly portrayed to be. It's analogous to the public view that for all of the evil perpetuated against Native Americans it somehow means they weren't raping their own women and children, declaring war each on each other, stealing someone else's shit, and and murdering one another before the scourge of the Europeans. People are shitty everywhere, all day everyday because people. At the end of the day the Dalai Lama wants to be King, which doesn't excuse and in no way condones the horror of the systematic murder and torture visited upon these monks and others in Tibet by the Chinese. However, to say that the Dalai Lama is not just a little bit about opulence, wealth, self-gain, ego, and self-interest is a bullshit lie. And a glossy one at that. I mean, how many book deals has this guy had, ffs.
Broadbrushing is like stereotyping. We all hate to admit it and do so at our own peril if we do so publicly, but there's a modicum of truth to both of those things that aren't always just taught and learned "perception". If you want to know if I laughed when Cardinal Bernard Law kicked the pail, the answer is yes. I laughed very hard. ETA that bashing isn't bashing if it's true.

Understood jeto. In a fraternal spirit I humbly offer the following: Q: Cardinal Spellman cause of death? A: Somebody slipped him a poison alter boy..
