Siddhartha Gautama was the son of a king raised in a palace with every imaginable luxury.
This is part 2 of 19 of the PBS documentary THE BUDDHA, a film by David Grubin, premiering April 7, 2010 at 8 p.m. (check local listings). Learn more at http://www.pbs.org/thebuddha/
lol! making love on the roof? May be there was such story, but...
Anyhow, still a great compassionate story. The two poets are amazing, Epstein the psychiatrist is also good but somehow he reminds me of Sigmund Freud whom I suspect studied a great deal about Buddha's teaching on human subconsciousness and turned it into psychological techniques that were later exploited by his American nephew Edward Bernays for turning Americans into "happiness machines" or senseless consumers!

Lol he was making love with his wifey aka cousin on the roof and they did not even notice? Lol damn now that's funny, but still pretty cool in a way. All I can say Indians right is that what you call people from India? Well still they reproduce like bunnies no joke and I thought Latinos reproduced like bunnies I mean we normally have 4-7 kids,

Lumbini is currently in Nepal. During Gautama's time however, Shakya federation (small confederation of clans) was not part of Nepal (there actually wasn't a Nepal at that time), there were just small kingdoms (as the docu states).
The docu states, he was to conquer the 16 kingdoms of India (similarly, there was no India at that time).
As narenwatches says 'it doesn't matter where he was born' but understand his philosophy. Your petty argument would show that you don't really understand.
