@RoyZimmerman I know this is beside the point, but just want to note in case you are unaware, as I was, that unfortunately groups of Buddhists have been behind campaigns of violence & oppression. I get that the conflict you were inspired by was one in which apparently innocent peaceful monks were killed, & the point of the song was well taken, just think it's something worth bearing in mind that a lot of people aren't aware of. Thanks, love your work!
@Existentialisht i want you to read the part of the description that says "in support if the myanmar monks",then i want you to google the word "satire".
@millitantatheist1 I wasn't trying to be humorous, ok? That's exactly what Roy Zimmerman said! "They're a cheap supply of oil!" It's a reference to Thich Quang Duc. It is gallows humor!
And yeah ok. I hit the "S" button therefore anything I say is invalidated. It makes sense.
@Existentialisht while i dont want to get into a discussion about your sense of humour, gallows humour is morbid, but it is supposed to be humourous, do to your lack of this and poe's law, i took your comment as exactly what it reads as, a criticism of zimmerman.
i was trying to politely berate you for having insulted me, even giving you a way out, i suggest you take it.
@millitantatheist1 Why the hell does poe's law apply here? I don't even understand where you are coming from. Why would I lie about something so trivial? It is not a criticism of Zimmerman. He made a joke that some would consider in poor taste in the song (that Buddhist monks are a "cheap supply of oil") and, as a result, makes one laugh about how much in poor taste it was. I'm laughing at his audacity. "Disgusting" is equivalent to "lol" or "I can't believe he said that!"
@Existentialisht poes's law does not involve lying it involves the inability to distinguish inflection(which in the english language changes the meaning of the entire sentence) in written text(normally sarcasm, but in this case humour).
this is how this started, you then proceded to call me a douchbag, an unneccesary ad hominum.
A little humor is a great way to start the day. A sign of a great humorist, in my opinion, is the ability to take something serious and get people laughing at it.
Yes, those tolerant, meditating pacifists detatching from greedy materialism Buddhists are a real danger for our patriotic nation, kick them out! OOOOOHMMMM!
@TenTonTommy777 ...Exactly, I m a buddhist n we don't believe that god created us!!! Buddhism is all about living life in peace n harmony. Buddha never had any superpowers neither did he declared himself god.
@Xenofanatic You have to choose one or the other...there are a lot of similarities in the teachings but to try to practice more than one would cause inner conflict.
Leaving out CIA overthrows/puppets, we've sent troops to Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo, Iraq again, Panama, Beirut, Tehran, Vietnam, Santo Domingo, Lebanon, Korea, The World Wars, the Banana Wars (Cuba, Mexico, Panama again, Haiti for 20 years, Nicaragua for 20 years, DR again), the Spanish-American War for Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, the Indian Wars of pacification, the Civil War, the Indian Wars of continental expansion, the Revolutionary War, and some more Indian Wars.
make sense .... we've heard a lot of religions claiming to be the religion of peace, but we had seen a lot of terrible things done in the name of those religions
now, imagine what an ACTUAL religion of peace can do ! .... yeah, we need to go after the Buddhists. ;)
@Belthazore1 probably that he's mocking the USofA and all that is American culture and general beliefs.
But mocking something, if it's done with facts and comparing pros and cons, can shed some light on what things should be improved upon. Most people these days are very narrow minded, xenophobic and just plain ignorant bigots.
If only there was some way to get people to stop being so violent and rejecting. Well, I guess that's what humor is for.
Every time I listen to these videos, I think Tom Lehrer. And in a very, very good way. It's the same kind of level of smart, funny writing. A++, would lol again.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, we're a terrorist nation! That's why you see everybody running out of this country just as fast as they can, right? You must be blind (or stupid) not to notice that millions come to this country (legal and illegal) to get away from theirs. If this nation scares you so bad, move to Iran or Cuba, where the milk and honey flows. If the USA is so awful, then get out as soon as you can. And if you WON'T leave.....then shut up.
If America is great, but it's so frail and weak, that it will dry up and blow away if anybody criticizes it, then it won't be a great country for very long.
Identifying the flaws, and fixing them, was what made America great in the first place.
And we can be a great nation again. Someday. If we work at it.
And if you think Washington has no flaws right now, you're not loving the real America.
America is like a marriage, you can love it and make it better at the same time.
Corection America is NOT! the greatest nation it is a too "Liberal" and Capitalistic country to many people doesn't have enough money to educate themself eventhough they are more inteligent than most of thoose who can afford a education.
@Megabambam Is lack of money your excuse for your writing? Correction (comma) America is NOT! (an exclamation point means full stop to the sentence, which makes) the (capitalized) greatest nation (period). it (Capitalized) is a too "Liberal" (sarcasm?) and Capitalistic country (period). to (Too) many people doesn't (don't) have enough money to educate themself (Themselves) eventhough (two words) they are more inteligent (two l's) than most of thoose (those) who can afford a (an) education.
@bostsu2001 That's unfair to use grammar against someone's point of view. Consider that this guy might be able to speak many languages and be advanced with his knowledge. And you might not know his language enough to ask for the location of a bathroom. I may be wrong, but there is a chance.
@dondongo666 I did not mention the bathroom for an effect. In my experience, the knowledge of how to say it in foreign environment could be the most important one.
@Matismatt I think it was precisely for an effect, whether downgrading or humorous. As for the reality, if you are in an environment where you can't decipher another language, the bathroom is probably the least of your worries.
@dondongo666 I believe I did understand. I would call it "effect" if I had to chose from more appropriate examples and have chosen this one only for the effect of being downgrading and humorous. I would call my choice precise for being realistic (and perhaps, offensive). But calling it "cheesy" and "lame"... you hurt my feelings ;-(
@Matismatt I only meant to help you to be more efficient in getting your point across to guys like him, which I agreed with. As for what you felt, I had no intention of offending you. Just expressing what I felt.
@Megabambam I'd like to apologize for raggin on you so hard about your grammar. I deeply respect the liberal cause and see it as a great hope for human future. I bristle when I get bashed.
Think of this.. American Independence. Where were the conservatives on this issue? With the British. Slavery? with the owners. Women's right to vote... On and on, the conservative mind set must be dragged into the future. We disagree obviously but I was in attack mode and that wasn't fair to your opinion.
@pazzensutra so according to you since less then the majority of people in this country have o.k. no one should talk about the things we do that are wrong or fucked up? Now that dosnt seem very patriotic to me. I'm sure if he was singing about how his taxes are skyrocketing you wouldn't have a problem with it. Tell you what go read a book, maybe even two, then come back and try to hold a political conversation with some people who would love to hear your opinion. and if you WON'T then shut up
You haven't noticed that the people coming in to America are often from third world countries, and that the intelligent Americans are the ones who are leaving?
(BTW, the US is only #1 on military expenditures now. It has sadly fallen behind in health, education, technology, and religion (in that you still have a lot of it, and it's controlling the state again). Congratz on that...)
@indijanak this guy is very funny obvious, i enjoy good satire.... but all the hatred for America is just retarded... which country in the history of the world has had as much power as America and been as generous/just with the rest of the world.... Greece, England, Solviet Union, Germany? Its obviously fun and the popular thing to do hate whoever is on top... but just use ur mind son.
@Epimpin101 We did a pretty good job, I'd like to think. Brought large parts of the world up to date and stopped a variety of particularly nasty habits.
so this was amazing my favorite parts were when he was like"lets wipe out terrorism everywhere except where the terrorists are us" and when he he said patridiotic attitude and at the end he was all like ommmm.
there's nothing like flag waving evangelicals that cares about nothing about their bible, their guns and their wallets, and their rapist dogs of corporate pimps who's abusing something good for their own gain.. right?
um...i cant tell if youre retarded or just really sarcastic...either way im sure you didnt watch this video. if you did, youd be aware that i wasnt serious.
ok. youre either a troll or are in fact a retard. im not a christian. im an athiest. i made a joke that you obviously cant comprehend. roy was joking about the buddhists. i was too.
Technically. Buddhism's kind of aggressively agnostic: it's more "There may or may not be a god, worry about that when you're not so busy trying to reach enlightenment."
Seeking enlightenment is a personal thing. All true buddhists seek that enlightenment without the infringement of dogmas. And we don't stuff our "values" down somebody elses throat like the aggressive christian evangelicals do. We do not think about a deity in forms of biblical since we regard that as inconsequensial to spiritual evolution.
In fact, there's evidence that suggest that Jesus himself went to study buddhism in India during the lost years...
Buddhists may very well believe in a universal deity. It may be with a flavor of every denomination in the world. but we don't percieve this deity the same way as a biblical one. A one that was created by and for a people in the desert in Palestine as a form of pillar for a growing society.
You should read Herman Hesses book Siddhartha before coming out with uncited claims my friend,.
I left the buddhist dogma many years ago. But the core of buddhism is still in me. Seeking enlightenment. Reaching enlightenment is finding the divine within yourself and not in some book written by stone age people in the desert. sorry if I offended anyone here.
Thats is actually more accurate. The version that most westerners see as Buddha is Budai as he was even used in China for Chinese Buddhists to have as a symbol of Buhdda. Eventually they came to be both represented in Chinese culture by the same statue.
yes, you did. Rereading my comment however, I see how the misunderstanding came about. I should have been more clear. I was talking to the anti-semitist (did I spell that right?) up above me.
if this guy hasnt already gone on the daily show or even colbert, he needs to be soon. his writing is smart, humor is clever and plucks a mean guitar. comedy central would crazy not putting him on the air
i am right there with ya. how does one lobby the Daily Show to get this guy on the air?? ("Ted Haggard is Completely Heterosexual" would KILL on Comedy Central!)
@mseager I agree. it's hard to write a song. But its vigorous to write comedy songs. Roy Zimmerman is the best satirist ive ever seen. he deserves more than school buildings and small auditorums.
Buddha or Sidhartha Guatma was a monk whom achieved a higher state of being or "nirvana" as they call it. Buddha is not a god, but a man whom has broken the cycle of reincarnation. at least as I understand their beliefs. He was looking for a way to end all of the suffering he saw around him.
yes , anyone who do great hard effort can become a buddha, but there will be a one buddha in a one single period, as while the Buddha's teaching are existing, no body needs to rediscover it again, just have to follow and end the suffering.
Good comment, Buddha realized the way to end suffering coursed by numerous outer and inner matters, the death, illness, old-age, unsatisfactory etc. and he found the course for suffering, and way of end it and how to end it, found it without the guidence of a teacher, so he is considered as the great teacher of all, monks who followed his teachings and who achieved the end of suffering are known as Arahaths. generally the monk society is a student society.
I am also a Buddhist, and in our secret meetings where we sacrifice little white Christian children we talk about how big of a threat Roy Zimmerman to us. Good things we've hid Osama so well.
We do need to come up with some sectarian slurs for the Buddhists. Any takers?

Technically. Buddhism's kind of aggressively agnostic: it's more "There may or may not be a god, worry about that when you're not so busy trying to reach enlightenment."

@Crabjesus
You're wrong.
Seeking enlightenment is a personal thing. All true buddhists seek that enlightenment without the infringement of dogmas. And we don't stuff our "values" down somebody elses throat like the aggressive christian evangelicals do. We do not think about a deity in forms of biblical since we regard that as inconsequensial to spiritual evolution.
In fact, there's evidence that suggest that Jesus himself went to study buddhism in India during the lost years...

Buddhists may very well believe in a universal deity. It may be with a flavor of every denomination in the world. but we don't percieve this deity the same way as a biblical one. A one that was created by and for a people in the desert in Palestine as a form of pillar for a growing society.
You should read Herman Hesses book Siddhartha before coming out with uncited claims my friend,.

@SoLo92ut
right on mate.
I left the buddhist dogma many years ago. But the core of buddhism is still in me. Seeking enlightenment. Reaching enlightenment is finding the divine within yourself and not in some book written by stone age people in the desert. sorry if I offended anyone here.

No that's Budai(布袋). As for my understanding of Budai, he is like a Buddhist Santa Clause.
ArceusMElemental 2 years ago
Thats is actually more accurate. The version that most westerners see as Buddha is Budai as he was even used in China for Chinese Buddhists to have as a symbol of Buhdda. Eventually they came to be both represented in Chinese culture by the same statue.

Buddha or Sidhartha Guatma was a monk whom achieved a higher state of being or "nirvana" as they call it. Buddha is not a god, but a man whom has broken the cycle of reincarnation. at least as I understand their beliefs. He was looking for a way to end all of the suffering he saw around him.
Nihility83 2 years ago 5
plus people can become a Buddha. There isn't necessarily one single one.
ninjasownpirates 2 years ago 2
yes , anyone who do great hard effort can become a buddha, but there will be a one buddha in a one single period, as while the Buddha's teaching are existing, no body needs to rediscover it again, just have to follow and end the suffering.
kennathwalpita2009 2 years ago 2
Good comment, Buddha realized the way to end suffering coursed by numerous outer and inner matters, the death, illness, old-age, unsatisfactory etc. and he found the course for suffering, and way of end it and how to end it, found it without the guidence of a teacher, so he is considered as the great teacher of all, monks who followed his teachings and who achieved the end of suffering are known as Arahaths. generally the monk society is a student society.
