CJ you know what is truly sad… if you have time, go back to my first post in this thread and click on the Religion of Peace website. At the bottom of the page there is a list, an updated and chronological catalog of every terrorist attack around the globe in the last 2 months… after reading that I don’t know how we could call someone who is so devoted to stopping such evil acts an evil person.
I like you folks but I think some of you have very closed minds. That’s the funny thing about “hippies”… they tout themselves as open, peace-loving, kind-hearts but I’ve found many of them to be aggressive, close-minded, hypocrites…
Please don’t take offense. I’m not angry at anyone. I just think it’s worthwhile to always evaluate ourselves and try to rid ourselves of our faults. This way we can become better people no?
What I find is when people have tolerance for those that commit acts of terror… or show mercy to them and make sure such terrorists have rights then those people are in essence terrorists… supporting terrorism thru a misguided view of what some may call “idiot” compassion. As you can see the Dalai Lama doesn’t fall for that and is why some of you are shocked by his statements. I think we should follow his line of thinking…
In essence having tolerance for the intolerant, those that only wish to take away other peoples rights and life, is valuing death over life.
The difference between Bush and terrorists is Bush does not wish to take away their rights… but we must because of their terrible acts and misguided views. It is a last resort to save lives…
