bill!..i do not know why you find the dalai lama so disgusting,... why don't you have a go at the bloke who runs israel..or is that no go zone..merle Merle,
You creep me out sometimes! I never said I 'hated' the Dalai Lama. I dislike his image, and I've even softened that somewhat recently by saying I dislike the Western media's portrayal of his image, especially when he had two images - one as a 'Buddhist' spiritual leader and one as a nationalistic political leader. This is what I meant when I echoed your phraseology that he hand not 'conquered' me. And also just recently (6 mos ago?) I know the Dalai Lama has relinquished his role as the political leader of Tibet so that removes another Lamai-esque pea from under my mattress. I don't know Tim Johnson, have never read his book and don't intend to. I was commenting on YOUR short remarks about his book. I have never been to China outside of two major airports. I have never been to Tibet. I have never met the Dalai Lama. What's that got to do with anything? Are you suggesting that I shouldn't be able to have an opinion on anything or anyone that I have not researched first-hand or met myself? Like I said above, all my opinions are based on Western media (and maybe some other cultures') reports - as I'm sure most of yours are also. What's the problem with that? I already posted 5 or 6 links of my 'evidence'. I don't know any Tibetans. I know some Chinese citizens and many US citizens of Chinese heritage, and many Thais of Chinese heritage. There! I've answered or addressed all your charges but still don't know what all this has to do with my negative opinions concerning the Dalai Lama. Creepy! ...Bill! P.S. Good luck with the python management. We get those from time to time, but more often large, non-venomous, non-constrictor and the occasional cobra. --- In [email protected], Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > > > Â biL...you freak me out...your hatred for the dalai lama... it's > disgusting... do you know tim johnson the author? no..have you been to china > ..no..have you been to tibet..no..have you met the dalai lama..no...where is > your evidence?...do you know any tibetans..no.. chinese no. > > ..as i type my barry calls me. > > .yikes there is a diamond python on the balcony..jesus..the dogs they are at > risk... > > Â you do not need conquering bilL..you need to open your mind, heart and soul > > and listen > > Â merle > > Â > Merle, > > That book probably has documented part of why the Western image of the Dalai > Lama 'creeps me out'.
