what kind of parents would let their kids communicate with the dalai lama

[chequita guevara]

I wouldn't want my kids anywhere near that monster.

Pardon?

Wow, it was so predictable and yet you walked into anyway... I wonder what that says about you?

It says I shouldn't trust Imran to rise above cheap jokes anymore...

Tibet under the Dalai Lama practiced slavery.

The guy had done some unspeakable things while he was Tibet's despot.

Even though there's a Buddhist saying that goes "A butcher who puts down his knife may become a buddha on the spot," I doubt he has repented.

After a very brief Googling, I see this is a "He said, She said" dispute between the two groups. Not going to bother with this.

I think we have a new contender for the most predictable post of year award. This one includes googling, where the poster didn't even bother to read the webpage. Classic UR.

Finally, it should be noted that the criticism posed herein is not intended as a personal attack on the Dalai Lama. Whatever his past associations with the CIA and various reactionaries, he speaks often of peace, love, and nonviolence. And he himself really cannot be blamed for the abuses of the ancien régime, having been but 15 years old when he fled into exile.

It is interesting. It seems to hint that a lot Tibet's problems seem to stem from China's influence there historically. However, it's still rather amatuerish and reeks of counter-culture.

At least he's put down the knife, something we can't say for the Chinese Communist Party.

They're just waiting to get a bigger knife.
