Sarah Palin Supports THEOCRACY (Saturday Night Live)

[deserticus18]

don't be mean with the fellow who upload this video, when you have little or no knowledge about something its more likely to be wrong about things. Its harder to understand the world when one is misinformed. we should try to look both sides always and make decisions , obviously this guy have only one side of the facts.

[KillAllCellPhones]

I don't have any opinion about the Dalai Lama one way or the other, but this video is  baffling -- what on earth is this person's point?

[UTAOUB]

Nobody is perfect. Martin Luther, who showed up corruption in the Medaevil church, was also an anti-semite. Hyman Rickover-- the first Jew in modern times to reach the rank of Admiral, and a man of honour for most of his life, yet was caught embezzeling towards the end of it. Mother Theresa was accused of only helping people 2 die comfortably, not to learn skills to make a living. The Dali Lama may not be perfect....but I see him as a man of faith who values freedom -- OK in my book!

[schedulefreak]

Headline is highly deceptive: this is neither a video about Sarah Palin supporting theocracy nor something from Saturday Night Live. Please be honest in naming your videos.

[JDCubed789]

too much to read, in fact I got my scientific american in the bathroom. bye.

[cruiscinlan]

what does this have to do with sara palin?

[UTAOUB]

@cruiscinlan I was also wondering what this has to do with Sara Palin. Then I read the words just under the screen, ("This is what Sarah Palin and the Republicans want for the US: a theocracy that relies on "prophets" and "oracles"....etc. CHECK)  This would be BAD, of course -- but I think that Sarah Palin & conservative Republicans are mainly interestd in PROFITS, not "prophets". And they'll get these PROFITS any wa they can! S.P. is the "Sweetheart of the New World Order"...for sure!

[JDCubed789]

No I dont as of yet, all I have is a dog.

And as for the future leaders of the world, they ask the question "is skateboarding a crime"?

[Icanhasoboe]

When i saw the part about the popes i thought "thats cuz they keep on dying!"

[pysgodfach]

A religious theocracy? as opposed to what other kind of theocracy?

[Ltdeacon]

@pysgodfach , apparently the same who believe obama is a fascist,Communist,elitist , i swear a little 15 minutes reading a book like a dictionary would enlighten people like this

[VJHP]

What was the point of this? Seriously?

A country is formed under the right to sovreignity and to create its own rules and laws, thats what being a country is all about. I know NOTHING of this issue, BUT if this is the law of tibet, to have on leader, then we have no right to say its wrong. Different to what we believe but not wrong.

But who really cares...i dont give a flying fuck about tibet

[WOWJBEOWULF]

Weird comment, because China itself practices religious oppression. Also, no Sarah Palin, it is just in the title.

[EYPinky]

check my channel out its mos def worth a couple moments! thnx for any support you throw my way< peace and love.

[harliette]

What powers shall be given to whom upon such a vulgar coarse country?

[Sanguiluna]

Well, if it works...

[rayzortek]

this shows why the national enquire has more credibility than thn nyt.

[khatel]

1 thing to say your an idiot

[supwer1]

Just because the LLama has had an exremely long lifespan and has spread peace/prosperity around the world doesn't mean you have to hate him. Stalin was NOT premier of the Soviet Union during 1959. This was not posted by the "New York Times" AND Russia was not a country until 1990. Get your facts straight before you try and hate people who disagree with your gun-toting hard-lining views.

[MrHkguru]

When when someone tells the truth

about that Dalai Lama , it becomes "propoganda"?

Dalai Lama is a freaking shithole

[Sonyag1]

Yes, John McCain is a big loser. He's the one who inflicted Sarah Palin on the rest of us. I hope it's written on his tombstone.

[orleansorleans]

she named her book after tina fey's line. give me a break.

[defexorcist]

Thanks for the falsely labeled video, shithead. What the fuck does this have to do with Palin or SNL??

[markbaland]

This is not from Saturday Night Live. It has nothing to do with Sarah Palin. It seems to me to be anti-Dalai Lama propaganda. He seems to me to be one of the wisest and most peaceful men on Earth. This page must be funded by the Chinese....

[vlamara123]

does china pay you?

[truthgladiator]

Give me a break. That's nonsense and you frigin' know it. Oh, I see, a country run by Socialist Liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Obama is better, right! Liberal SOBs.

[Auggie56]

Boy this video is full of crap !

[Wisdomswords]

The pope is selected by an assembly of his peers, a convocation, and is usually in his sixties or seventies when chosen, after a long, worthy life. The Dalai Lama was chosen by one person at the age of five, and no one is ever allowed to question that, even when he behaves abysmally. There is a big difference.

[daoudrafik]

The Dalai Lama is NOT AN ELECTED leader; At the age of 5 he was SELECTED as the next religeous leader to replace the then religeous leader after he dies. Isn't the Pope the head of the Catholic church? And doesn't he remain in that position until his death? And by the way, the next Dalai Lama has already been chosen. The Dalai Lama is NOT a political leader. Since his enthronement, you've had 10 (ten) elected Presidents; Lyndon Johnson & Gerald Ford were not elected.

[tonyac42]

Actually, President Johnson was elected with over 60% of the vote in 1964, and as Vice President, he was sworn in as President after President Kennedy was assassinated. This was a constitutional procedure. It is true Gerald Ford was never on a winning national ticket, but he was confirmed by Congress.

[BushNeverLied123]

First of all, Obama also claims to be a Christian, second of all you liberal loon, Christians don't hire oracles; that was the Roman Empire in the B.C.'s. And please, I don't make up random junk about people with political differences from me, and you shouldn't either. That's one of the reasons the election was so un-tight this year; voters were constently told lies about the Republicans.

[tonyac42]

1. Obama is a Christian, 2. you can't call someone a lliberal loon and denounce them for making up "political junk", 3 How were voters consistently told lies about Republicans? As in, provide factual proof, 4) How can you claim that a human being "never lied", much less a politician, much less a president, much less George W. Bush?

[BushNeverLied123]

1. President Obama was a member of a Church that claimed to be Christian, yes, but he plays both sides by supporting the idea of Evolution.

2. That name suits the person, but I apologize for any hard feelings.

[bleedblue83]

um, supporting the idea of evolution? Evolution is a fact. Most people support facts. That's not to say there isn't a God, but how are you going to blame someone for believing in what's true? Evolution isn't even up for debate anymore, it's been proven to be true.  I believe the sun is yellow, moron.

[BushNeverLied123]

man, every time I try to post my responses to 3 and 4 it never posts

[BushNeverLied123]

4. I was not saying that Pres Bush had never lied in his life; I was saying that a lie is when someone says something on purpose that they know is incorrect. Pres. Bush was called a liar after false information was given to him about the WMD's we had every right to believe were in Iraq, so that is an incorrect definition.

[aodan83]

Bush is an idiot. I reckon it's worse to have an idiot leading a country than a liar.

[Wisdomswords]

The Dalai Lama does indeed lead all the Tibetans in exile in India. He is their supreme leader. Before 1959, of course, he also ruled in Tibet. So he now has only 100,000 Tibetans under his direct rule but he still will not countenance any disagreement whatsoever, and has used his power to ban a much loved 400 year old spiritual practice. This has sickening ramifications not just in the Tibetan exile community, which is now in turmoil, but in Tibet itself, neighbouring countries, and the West.

[dasheriff001]

it was rediculous how the religious freedom bullshit was being paraded by ingorant western hippies, "we have to help these poor people escape from china's tirrany" but they don't know a thing about tibetan culture.

they best way to surive in tibet used to be to become a monk and so most boys were, and they had so many religious holidays it crippled them.

[leocat99]

I think it would be mighty hard to have a "theocracy" with a super majority of dems in the senate and the house, liberal supreme court justices legislating from the bench, an ultra left wing media & press (cnn,abc,nbc, cbs, NY slimes, washington compost, La slimes et. al.) the ACLU, George Soros, code pinko, Michael Moron...need I continue?

[SWSimpson]

Nothing to do with Palin. The British Monarch was once considered the head of the Anglican church, but now: There is no single Anglican Church with universal juridical authority, since each national or regional church has full autonomy. Lastly, Tibet is NOT a free nation and does not govern itself but is oppressed by China, thus there is no theocracy there, but a form of communism.

[Karibdis007]

a load of BS that is undermined by one very very simple fact: the Dalai Lama doesn't rule tibet, and has not since 1959 - China has ruled tibet for the past 50 years. Even a picture of the dalai lama is illegal in tibet atm.... DUH

[ohawkins763]

China is a load of communist bullshit. They cheated at the Olimpics, y'know.

[scola91660]

Whoever posted this is a bonehead.

[ohawkins763]

Yeah, the asshole put in a picture of that bitch Margeret Thatcher. That will piss off a load of Irish people.

[av8or46]

Why do you title your video about Sara Palin? It says nothing about her, only the Dalai Lama. And how bout checking out your old Constitution? Last time I checked, the Vice President doesn't have the power to proclaim a state religion.

[Wisdomswords]

How is this propaganda? It just shows facts. And though Popes are in it til death, they get elected by a council of their peers once they've garnered all the necessary qualifications. The Dalai Lama was chosen at 5 by one person, Reting Rinpoche, who was proven a fraud in other areas of his life so why not in this one? Either way, real DL or not, he has abused his position terribly and taken away others' freedoms. Divine right of kings versus rights of the individual is medieval and it hurts.

[Knightlyfrog]

This may seem unrelated to the topic of the video. (not that th video seemed all that on the topic anyhow) I am starting to hear people complaning about Obama being a socialist because of the policies he has in mind, but isn't that the same way people reacted to President Franklin Delinoe Roosivelt? He didn't seem to do such a bad job as far as presidents go. Just a thought. sorry to be a bother.

[philosophisor]

I fail to see the connection with Ms. Palin and SNL. Regardless of what the ridiculous Dalai Lama has done, we both know it's not remotely as horrible as the invasion by communist China. Also, comparing the Lama's rule as less fair and less representative of the people's will than the various leaders of Russia is laughable. I think the millions that died in Stallin's purges and persecutions would beg to differ.

[jjkeeling]

Okay, this had absolutely nothing to do with Sarah Palin or Saturday Night Live. Maybe you should change the title to reflect the content.

Seriously.

[Rickyrab]

Um, the Dalai Lama? And he banned something he once favored. I guess even a one-man rule is suspect to flip flopping sometimes.

[fragglet]

To be fair, the popes aren't much better, as they serve until death as well.

[crescentcityarts]

This is a terrible and hateful act of propaganda against all Tibetens (posing as a legitimate politcal statement).

[FreakKeeper]

I think those Obama-nites are in for a BIG surprise should Obama win the election. A hardcore (socialist) President in charge of a Dem majority congress. They may end up getting more change than they bargained for!

Obama has flip flopped so much it's not funny: Supported tax incr. for everyone, over $40,000+, now over $250,000+. Against offshore drilling/now for, for control/now against, etc. Every issue except illegal immigration and health care for illegals!

[Wisdomswords]

This has nothing to do with China. It is just showing how people are being denied religious freedom because they happen to disagree with the Dalai Lama's ban of their spiritual practice. It shows how they have nowhere to turn -- the Dalai Lama is the sole and unelected leader, both political and spiritual, of Tibetans in exile. The mixture of religion and politics and divine right of kings versus individuals has never worked since the Middle Ages -- people always end up persecuted and suffering.

[carlpinero]

Geez, Thank God that the progressive government of China, through Han Chinese invasion and economic blackmail is destroying this evil culture. Fortunately, the Beijing control of the Tibet region lets freedom ring from the Uighur lands to the exploited laborers of the coast.

[Wisdomswords]

There is a huge schism in Tibetan exile community today caused by the Dalai Lama's ban of a beloved religious practice (practiced by his own holy teachers and even previously by DL himself) and the ensuing persecution of those who refuse to obey his ban. And the DL has not replied to one single letter, petition or request -- he preaches tolerance and dialogue in the West, but does not pratice what he preaches at home in the Tibetan exile community in India. Dalai Lama, give religious freedom!

[CountArtha]

Like take back his country that they invaded and annexed sixty years ago? What a horrible thought!

[TheElectricHeat]

Religious leaders should be thought of as our cultural leaders, and they are just as necessary as our secular heads. But when the two are mixed together the result is extremism every time.

Propaganda like this clarifies the need for both sides, with enough separation to keep everybody honest and rational. You need religion to keep the people balanced, government to keep religion balanced, and democratic process to keep government balanced. It's like a circle

[dasnasdi]

The true threat to American democracy comes from secularist extremists. They do not have the numbers needed for their ideas to prevail. In desperation, they engage in fear mongering (Theocracy!) and arguments that under church-state separation, their Christian neighbors have no right to be heard.

[arkham1999]

This country was founded on secular values, read the 1st Amendment & the Treaty of Tripoli art. 11. It was done so that no religious group could seize power and subjugate the freedoms of the people.

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."

-Thomas Jefferson

[thedayathand]

the establishment clause by no means is to be interpreted as removing the mention of the God of the Bible from government, that was clearly not its intention. it was meant to prevent a state run denomination. the Declaration of Independence proves that among a plethora of other documents by the founders.

[arkham1999]

The God mentioned in the Declaration does not describe Christianity's God. It describes "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." This nature's view of God agrees with DEIST philosophy. Deism is the belief that a supreme God exists and created the physical universe, and that religious truths can be arrived at by the application of reason alone, WITHOUT dependence on revelation.

"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion" Article 11

[arkham1999]

Moreover, the Declaration of Independence was not a official statement of government policy. It was a statement of grievances that the thirteen colonies possessed against Great Britain. The Declaration says nothing about our rights secured by Christianity, nor does it imply anything about a Christian foundation. It holds no legal power today. Our presidents, judges and military must take an oath to uphold the Constitution, but never to the Declaration of Independence.

[thedayathand]

1)The Declaration of Independence reveals a mind set that was obviously not the exception but the rule. It is our CREATOR, the GOD OF NATURE, that the founders believe we receive our unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and it is these very rights that the government was indented to protect, Its obvious GOD was an integral part of the founding of this country and to think other wise is clearly bias at best.

[thedayathand]

2)We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are ENDOWED by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,and to institute new Government

[thedayathand]

3) Secularists are actually claiming the very mention of God in government is illegal, one only needs to read the Declaration of Independence to see the irony. As far as the identity of the God the framers were referencing, just read the mayflower compact the first written constitution, its an eye opener. Of course you can always find some framers that where not Christians but they are the exception not the rule. It is amazing how secularist try to spin and revise our true history.

[thedayathand]

4)Of course repeat a lie enough and people will eventually believe it as truth. You can keep studying the exceptions if you wish, or look at all the facts. I recommend a look at some of david bartons work they might help you see beyond the spin. I would agree as time goes by we have become more secular and by the 60s in essence have told God in no uncertain terms to get out of our business and we are no doubt reaping the whirlwind.

[MrEdYall]

Do I take issue with you mislabeling this video? Or the fact that you're speaking ill of an old benevolent wise man?

You don't strike me as someone who would get the point-

[Wisdomswords]

BTW, you don't have to be Chinese to oppose the Dalai Lama. He has made big mistakes in his own Tibetan community. For example, the Shugden practitioners he is repressing and ostracizing are not Chinese but fellow Tibetans. They have nothing to do with the Chinese. And they have done nothing wrong other than continue a spiritual practice that is 400 years old (the DL just doesn't like it so he's banned it).

[Wisdomswords]

Can you imagine having ANY leader in power for 60 years, let alone someone who is a religious and political leader rolled into one? For those who oppose the Dalai Lama in the Tibetan exile community in India, there is only segregration, persecution and expulsion from their communities. At least we don't have that in democratic America -- it is not a dictatorship and we can elect who we want and its for only 4 years (that's how this video relates to Sarah Palin perhaps ;-) Vote carefully!

[UfficioScherzi]

George Bush + Britney Spears = Sarah Palin If this is the next 8 years.... A stupid playmate and a 73 years old granny... Well, the chinese, arab and russian will kick your ass! If MCain have an hart attack... Sarah will be the President of U.S.A. Can you imagin a meeting Vladimir Putin - Sarah Palin...! It's ridicouls... This Stupid Girl can be in her hand a nuclear army... If this is the future... The American Dream is over. If you have a few o brain vote for Obama...

[gunseng2]

doesn't dalai lama reincarnate? so the 14th lama is the same as the 1st lama, and the same guy will continue to rule, only in a new body, we're not speaking about a simple 60 years dictatorship here.. we're talking... ETERNITY!!!

the spirit of dictatorship!!

[HillaryfansforBarack]

Obama-Biden '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gms028]

Communist Chinese liars are obviously behind this video. No one is obligated to do anything the Dalai Lama says. He has no power in India or in China. The ones with the power are the murderous Communist Chinese liars. They have been murdering Tibetans for almost 50 years. This video is pure Communist propaganda.

[gunsareforkids]

well the popes are all old when there put in power if they where 5 then yes the catholics would just have one guy in charge till he died

[ejlorge]

Cry me a river. Bush as a president for just one term is still a thousand times worse than the Dalai Lama for 50 years.

[UnconcernedCitizen]

Great video. I laughed. I cried. I mostly cried, though. I just got fired. Seems my former supervisor thought I spent too much time on YouTube. I cannot blame him; I had not made an appearance at my cubicle in weeks. In fact, I had forgotten I had a job. Oh well. I guess I do not need to worry about quitting my day job. It is my hope that an overeager politician will find me a job. It is doubtful, but as my dead uncle was fond of saying: one most hope for hope. Or, something like that.

[bmw7318]

jesus will open that door and throw away the key.see these republicans are trying to destroy me.but im like an evil curse, i just don't go away.sorry republicans but i am here to stay.you may think that all truth has passed away, but truth is your lies won't

end today, but on election day when obama wins and your sorry lies will just pay

for all the wrong you've done.i have come to proclaim it as true as the morning sun.hear my words,fear my words, there is nothing more to say.

[iedadk]

Yes, this is an amazing video. Please americans, be worried about Dalai lama. Forget your candidates and their idiocracy. Show the world how intelligent you are!

[toobomine]

racism often goes hand in hand with ignorance

[ylogogo]

The person who made this is not very bright...and deceitful to boot....using the whole Saturday Night Live thing. I think Palin is as dumb as a post, but this video is pointless.

[greggamma]

"Against love, peace, joy there is no law..."

What kind of tripe is this?!

[Khmerb00]

Boo! this video suxs! u suck!

[eademe]

what a dumb video... it's totally untrue... you should go work for mccain

[wishenough]

Actually, the Tibetan government in exile is a democracy. The Dalai Lama is no longer the political leader. Please get the facts straight before you start ripping at a great man.

[Wisdomswords]

The TGIE is not a democracy -- it is a theocracy and the Dalai Lama is in total control. It says it would like to become a democracy but it is still a million miles away from it. Look at the comments by the Tibetan "MP" on the Al Jazeera video, posted as a response to this video, to see for yourself.

[wishenough]

It's true that the government in exile needs to step it up. But it is technically a democracy, and the Dalai Lama has stepped down.

If it's anyone's fault that the government-in-exile's democracy is a joke, it's the people's. They'll obey every word the Dalai Lama speaks. He's protested at this himself, citing what the Buddha said: "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

[Wisdomswords]

I used to believe that. However, I've seen and heard too much now to believe it any longer. He likes people to obey him. He said to monks in India protesting the ban: "There will be no change in my stand. I will never revoke the ban. You are right. It will be like the Cultural Revolution. If those who do not accept the ban do not listen to my words, the situation will grow worse for them. You sit and watch. It will grow only worse for them." He is different with Tibetans than with Westerners.

[Wisdomswords]

The Nobel Peace Prize winner and supposed champion of human rights is busy at work removing the religious rights and freedoms of one section of his own Tibetan people and persecuting all those who are trying to stand up for these rights. Sad but true. He is the theocratic ruler of Tibetans in exile and no one is allowed to oppose him on anything.

[SpookyVid]

I'm not a follower of any religion, but I am well read on most of them and...

This whole thing about restricting freedom is not entirely accurate. It's basically the equivalent of the Pope telling his followers that they should no longer pray to a certain saint because there was an error in canonization. Now of course, the ardent followers of that saint would be pretty upset. However, they are catholics and are supposed to follow orders right? Same thing here.

[Wisdomswords]

It is completely different. There is no Pope of Buddhism. The DL is not even the head of any of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, let alone of any other types of Buddhism. And also, there are millions of followers of this Buddha ("saint") and the DL has used his political power to repress the practice. Such a thing has never happened before in the history of Buddhism. The DL is certainly restricting religious freedom, no two ways about it.

[gms028]

This is an absurd lie. The Dalai Lama is not in charge of Tibet. He lives in India. The Communist Chinese dictatorship has been in charge of Tibet for 50 years. They murdered 1,000,000 Tibetans - 1/3 of the population. The Dalai Lama, on the other hand, won the Nobel Peace Prize. So who is better for Tibet? Communist murderers of a humanitarian?

[TheNewYorkTimesInc]

Please stay on topic. This video concerns the Tibetan exile community in Dharamsala, NOT Tibetans in China.

[JustWannaRitAComment]

On topic??? What topic??? Where did you get the title for your video? This video concerns Sarah Palin and Saturday Night Live. Or did you have two videos and post them with the wrong titles? You are wack-o.

[heyzoos420]

@TheNewYorkTimesInc Actually, it quite clearly states "Tibetans(and since 1959 the Tibetan Exile community)" have had one political and religious leader. So its talking about both. Not that you really seem to understand this, as you talk about "Tibetans in China" and exiles, when Tibet is widely regarded as a seperate country, one simply controlled by China.

[dspak08]

When you think about it, the Dalai Lama is the biggest obstacle to Tibetans gaining religious freedom. China cares most about politics, not religion. The Dalai Lama is the embodiment of the union of religion and politics. Because he wants to hold on to political power, the Chinese can't grant religious freedom to Tibetans without granting political power to the Dalai Lama (which they won't do). The best thing that could be done for Tibet would be for the Dalai Lama to finally step down.

[dorianleakey]

The Dalai Lama does not want political power, and has said so many times, he has promoted democracy within the exile community.

Is it only shugdenpas that post on here or something?

[Wisdomswords]

This video has nothing to do with China as far as I can tell -- more to do with Shugden practitioners in India having no recourse as the Dalai Lama is a theocratic ruler who brooks no opposition. The Wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden website mentioned in the video explains more.

[bonnienettles]

The Dalai Lama is a media whore and Tibet is better off under the rle of China.

[Lineageholder]

it's shocking, especially when the Dalai Lama supposedly supports democracy. This is a religious autocracy! He's like a religious Robert Mugabe, clinging to power and dictating everything.

[Wisdomswords]

This is a great video. Short and to the point, showing a serious problem in an unexpected place i.e. religious freedom denied by the Dalai Lama himself. Thanks for posting it.

[suereed1949]

Not sure how this connects with Sarah Palin, but I've wondered for ages how the Dalai Lama gets such great press while the reality is so different. I know many people who have suffered greatly because of his policies, but everyone seems to need a 'spiritual hero of the day' and no one wants to look at the reality. It was funny to run across this here.

[TibetansGoneWILD]

Probably because he has a whole army of Hollywood elites: Richard Gere, Steven Segal, Sharon Stone, Lindsay Lohan, Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton, John McCain, Bjork, etc.

[tamtara37]

The Dalai Lama is a very deceptive and clever politician. He giggles in the West and rules the exiled community with an iron fist. He is not what he appears to be.

[wisdombuddha]

Look up the Western Shugden Society website for the latest news on the Dorje Shugden debate!

[Gresch91]

how can the Dalai Lama be a dictator if Tibet is under chinese suppression?

[Wisdomswords]

I think it refers to his being the ruler of the Tibetan people -- especially in the exile community in India, where he is in complete control of everything.

[NookulerFreedom]

Everyone know the MONARCHY really controls england.For hundreds of years.

And they have had there greedy hand in the US for over one hundred years....

But I do like eating Lucky Charms.

After all they're MAGICALLY DELICIOUS!!!!

[winsomehill]

Over simplistic.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Hmmmmm... What's that got to do with SNL besides the fact that it was pretty funny. Anyway, I have to admit that even though I don't agree with you per se, I do find it refreshing to hear something besides the usual 'free Tibet' drivel.

[sooocheesy]

The funny thing is, the Dalai Lama is an AMAZINGLY intelligent person and most countries would be well served to have a leader of his caliber. I'd take him over Bush any day. *back to lmao at palin interviews*

[EthnickCleansing]

What do you base this on? His success in "freeing" Tibet? Or his propensity to break out in adorable old man giggles every time he is asked a difficult question?

"His Holiness" definitely has a thing or two to learn from Sarah Palin.

[dorianleakey]

Most people who have passed the Geshe Lharampa could out debate politicians in the west that includes the Dalai Lama. I mean he learnt to argue using a sound logical system from childhood, from the finest minds in Tibet at the time.

We have nothing coming close in the west, debate was like a spectator sport for the Tibetans before 1959

[EmperorofCartoons]

@EthnickCleansing Like what? How to raise dysfunctional children, make gross geographical errors, and embezzle money? Yeah, I am sure he will get right on those.

[brineyybabe]

Who in the Dalai Lama is Rory Emerald?

[jplonmars]

Thanks....I wasn't expecting this but I learn something new today......

[dawson01912]

Fagget.

[markdamone]

You are a complete (you choose expeletive) for putting this up under the wrong title. How can you promote a man Of the Dalai Lamas' stature in a deceptive manner. Dont you think thats in direct conflict with everthing he stands for?

[twuatgmail]

Your karma is going into the toilet for hijacking a title, and even more so for hijacking this particular title. Too bad for you...

[RazorVrakking]

Intresting, I have never thought about that before. The Dali Lama banning religions in his country where he is unchallenegd as spiritual and political leader. The man is a despot.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

The more ridiculous thing is that we have put laws in order to prevent a single person from becoming sole-leader of the US. 4 year terms, 2 term limit. Thus the larger number of Presidents vs. Dalai Lama. The success of the Dalai Lama has nothing to do with his ability to keep his people happy. It has everything to do with the fundamental difference between a way of life and a religion. (Don't understand that? Read up).

[kflo1978]

Nice title dumb shit. If I cared about the fucking dali lama I would look it up.

[Adeon55]

lol right on kflo1978
