But NO Terrorist Monks! Better than Jihad and Templar. Also, don't count Shaolin Monks!

Opps, forgot about it! At least it hasn't turned to be an international crisis! But seriously, where is the borderline?

Well
It's really more or less a matter of volume.

Violence is part of human nature, and obviously there will be examples, religious or not.
But Buddhism doesn't really have a large scaled oragnized systematic violence comparable to the way many Abrahamic religions have (Inquisition, Witch Hunts, modern Jihadism, etc) and therefore by comparison I think it's fair to say it's a peaceful religion.
You can cherry pick situations through out history, but I think the volume speaks for itself.

This is 2013 already. Why are we still entertaining the ideas of ethnic borders and Buddhism=peaceful religion ?

We get bored easily?

aohige · 2013-09-10, 02:00

Because it is 2013, and not the Gene Roddenberry vision of 23rd century?

Which can't come fast enough btw

Ithekro · 2013-09-10, 02:40

Yet that one only comes around after we nearly destroy ourselves (and a considerable amount of people die).

Futurism really shouldn't keep dwelling in 1920s. That's a tragic irony incarnate.

Some cultures and religions just need to grow up. I mean a lot of Muslim countries still think slavery is acceptable. Cultures change, religions change, just some are slower than others.

I don't really know what I am talking about but it makes me feel a bit better when I have hope so meh...

We accept you because you're honest about your stupidity and you look completely complicit of everyone not taking anything you say seriously and you're trolling about 99% of the time anyway.

Rather then spending a microsecond in serious thread though, I would suggest you taking up from where you left your bad milk jokes at. Now THAT's contribution

You mean that there is a difference between hanging either a Ford or Mazda on the wall?

As long as I'm not on the dead-bodies-pile side of the equation, bring it on I say.

Eh. Not to be a cynic, but I figure you actually need to physically break through the skull of a Russian diplomat to achieve progress.

Let's hope that ends the march to war.

This is very much an aside, but I have to admit I lolled at this bit - "For Spain to defy Germany at this point in time is rather like a deeply indebted gambler being rude to the casino owner"
