And the sad truth is that the shoe-thrower is now being beaten in custody and may face up to a 2-year prison sentence. He yelled "This is for the widows and orphans or Iraq, you dog!" as he threw the specially-bought, Baghdad-bought shoes at Bush and now his "fellow countrymen" are kicking him into unconsciousness in a cell somewhere. Even after he got carried out of the room by security, there was a trail of blood left behind.
They would beat him THAT hard for trying to punish a MONSTER that has raped and butchered their sons, mothers, sisters and daughters!! HOW THE FUCK COULD THEY!! :x
Last time I checked, W never raped or killed anyone.
A General is responsible for the actions of his Warriors, just as a parent is for his children and a master for his dogs.
Hence the blood and shame suffered by the peple of Iraq IS on George Bush Junior's hands, even if he is incapable of COMPREHENDING the CONCEPT of guilt.
So you're either Iraqi or Chaldean?
I'm a Taiwanese Buddhist. But even so I don't need to be any of the above to feel anger towards injustice.
Kinda funny that your extremely angry when you practice a faith of peace, tranquility, and pacifism.
I was thinking the same thing.
I was also wondering why a Taiwanese Buddhist would be so outright angry about something that has almost absolutely nothing to do with them.
Compassion is taught as one of the doctrines of TAIWANESE Buddhism. CARING enough to get mad at injustice and therefore be driven to DO SOMETHING about it is therefore by association part of our faith's doctrine.
Sitting by and not caring about (or worse yet,
laughing at) suffering like the useless animal known as the cynic
ISN'T.
Well, it somewhat is if you are talking about TIBETAN Buddhism, in which self-enlightnement is the sole focus. Not so Taiwanese Buddhism, in which the focus is to spend what time you have on Earth to make it a better place, if even by ONE person.
Just as Christianity is split into multiple forks and
cannot be judged as a whole from one point, so too is Buddhism.
