Setting ones self on fire to shed light on the sufferings of your people seems insane to me. I respect many of the tenants of Buddhism but these types of acts make them seem as big of zealots as the other religious people of the world. FAIL if you ask me.

That was a really fun read, I didn't expect that.
I'm not religious but it reminds me of the christian saying "let he without sin cast the first stone". Also a good thought to keep in mind.

There was a piece in the Christian Science Monitor titled Why Romney's Choice for Vice President Could Determine America's Future that was worth reading.

Your post about a retraction is a retraction. That's pretty clever of you.

Looks like I'm moving to Manitoba.
- The data are impressive: 300 billion emails, 200 million tweets, and 2.5 billion text messages course through our digital networks every day
I was surprised that the number of emails is so much larger than the number of texts. I probably send twice as many texts a day as I do emails.
hmmm... so the "Bhuddist Happies" want to restore their forces and lift the ban on war? Doesn't that just seem ironic? That would be like "radical christians" protesting for peace and equality... ironic.
This makes me happy
Like finding some change outside crab grass grows freely

When I went to the comment section the vast majority were references to masturbation. Hmmm...

Great idea. CERN should take note and share what they are finding in real time.
That's messed up. Iceland needs to write a gripping series of fiction about a nerdy young wizard.
