Typical liberal!
This guy wouldn't stand a chance against Jesus!
What has he done lately to free his own people?
This, of course, is why Tibet is such a free country today.
I don't believe in mixing politics and religion.
Until we no longer have people like the "radical" Islamist around, war will still be with us.
Great Mr. Lama, now go to downtown Tehran or Mecca and tell them that.
Exhibit A in how to lose your peoples' freedom to tyrants - put up no fight, make it as easy as possible for them with empty posturing while they line up your brethren along the trenches.
And people wonder why Tibet will never be free.
"Even great religious leaders like the Dalai Lama believe in the fundamental human right of self defense: At an afternoon talk by the Dalai Lama on May 14, 2001 to 7,600 Oregon and southwest Washington high-school students, one girl wanted to know how to react to a shooter who takes aim at a classmate. The Dalai Lama said acts of violence should be remembered, and then forgiveness should be extended to the perpetrators. But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, he said, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun... "[0] That is, defensive actions are justified if the ultimate aim is peace.
Is someone going to tell those who are out to annihilate us, to make love, not war??? I wonder if Rutgers would allow Billy Graham to speak in the stadium to thousands?
Those who beat their swords into plowshares will become the slaves of those who don't.
"The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world... The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!" – President Theodore Roosevelt's last message to Congress.
What a phony!
Of course war is outdated. Get the word to those entities that are attacking us.
The man is, quite frankly, brain damaged, and I don't say that lightly.
You cannot have a brain surgeon remove the parts of the brain related to hierarchy and territoriality just because it's disgusting, because it goes against the tenets of some religion or Political Correctness. Those parts are irrevocably intertwined, and you would die without them.
Yep......that'll work!! Count me in!!
He says we should not just focus on "America, America, America." Yet when we do the world screams "Imperialist Warmongers!", or "No blood for oil!"
Yep, must be nice to hide within the secure walls of America and lecture us on our blood-thirsty ways.
Get your peace-lovin' exiled @ss over to Red China and try shoveling your crap over there. And take that POS drama queen Bloomberg with you.
I'll be pressing my nose against the TV screen as CNN reports that you two delusionalists have been given the Key (to the Prison) of the City of Shangai.
Fine by me, just could he please tell AQ et al and get them to cooperate first?
