Mystery "Buddha" boy goes missing
Yahoo ^ | March 11, 2006

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepali police began hunting on Saturday for a teenaged boy who some people believe is an reincarnation of Buddha after he disappeared from the site where he had been meditating for almost 10 months.

Fifteen-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon has not been seen since early Saturday, said Hari Krishna Khatiwada, a district official of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of Kathmandu.

The boy had been meditating there without food or water since May. Some of his followers are also missing.

"So far we have found no trace of them," Khatiwada said.

Sitting cross-legged beneath a "pipal" tree, which is sacred to Hindus, Bomjon drew more than 100,000 people to the dense forests in southeastern Nepal.

But visitors were only allowed to see him from 50 metres (165 feet) away and the boy was hidden from public view at night behind a curtain drawn by his followers.

REPEAT: If irreverent religious satire bothers you, you can always go burn an embassy or something.

BTW, read my tag if you REALLY want to be offended!

BINGO! You are my hero, WVMM! That's the right story.

And btw, I've seen whirled peas too. Now my sources have moved away and I'm a very happy camper!

We could start a club...a sisterhood... ;-)

irreverent religious satire is a wonderful thing, if done properly and where it belongs - see the sections of my FR bio-page concerning Islam if you need an illustration.

I don't burn things over bogtry, I simply point it out and denounce it.

You are a bigot.

I try to avoid needless hyperbole
I also try to remain empirical.

"bigot" is not supported by the available data.
"churl" seems to fit.

to be fair, this is a far cry from the most disgusting thread I have ever seen on FR.

However, it *is* far below the usual standard of civility on non-ZOT and non-CREVO threads.

churl - a rude boorish person, a peasant

tongue in cheek - speaking with sly witty sarcasm

churl seems to fit better.

Freepers King Prout, freema, and KJC1:

Just so that you know - Gogoman is the latest ChiCom apologist troll on FR. He makes bizarre claims all the time, post outright lies, and generally tries to divert threads to the ChiCom point of view. He has been tripping on lies right from the moment he joined FR (a week ago after his previous handle was banned for similar rabid commentary).

BTW, he HATES non-Chinese like Tibetians, Uighurs, and Inner Mongolians, Indians, Caucasians, Blacks, Hispanics, etc. (essentially anybody who is not Han ChiCom). As a result, his comments on this thread are not surprising.

Gogoman is just another ChiCom troll which is busy doing the bid of its pulitburo masters.

I tell ya, I'm not going to turn you in for your smug piety, so if you'll calm the frig down a notch, the pro and cons on this thread can engage freely, as if you didn't know that is what we are doing here.

You are a ChiCom troll....don't forget that some of us know who you are and who you represent. Good to see your mask slipping more and more each successive day.

moreover...

sarcasm - ironic taunt

taunt - to jeer at, to attempt to provoke with scorn and contempt

so, either way: churl

I dig it! Divine Secrets has a good ring to it.

I wonder if the government will force us to incorporate or file separate tax forms?

And now I'm also trying to recall the Biblical references regarding the last days and the antiChrist. Hmmm. But that's a subject for its own thread, and I'm getting dinner ready and out of time. Later, sisters!

Thanks for the ping...I see that the ChiCom troll reached this thread early.
