  • It’s definetly a flawed methodology. It implies the certain qualities have the same importance to cultures worldwide. I’m born in Scotland but ethnically Punjabi. I go pakistan and i see extreme poverty and struggle, yet I speak and live with people of different classes and it’s often those who are poor but with community who are happiest (something similar applies to many nations I’ve been) not to say wealth wouldn’t make them happier or live longer, but our current capitalist system is a disease that very very few nations were able to effectively control so that the society benefits (gulf Arabs, Singapore and Nordics) but generally wealth doesn’t make a nation happier unless it’s somewhat fairly distributed








  • The boy slowly moves his head closer to the Dalai Lama’s but appears only to touch his forehead before withdrawing.

    First nuance of what you insisted happened that it… Didn’t actually happen

    In Tibet, sticking out one’s tongue is known as a traditional greeting, stemming from a 9th-century myth about an unpopular king with a black tongue.

    Second nuance that its ABSOLUTELY a pedophilic thing to do… It wasn’t and again, it didn’t happen.

    From the same article you just linked. You really aren’t proving your case well and instead flalling and getting emotional. You need to touch some grass and maybe read the articles or up on whatever you’re blathering about?

    I can’t be bothered finding any more articles, but I’m looking at how the thread is going and its not currently in your favour, let’s stop it here



  • You sure this is the hill you want to die on? Defending a religious leader who has already admitted to pedophilic behavior?

    Buddy it seems like between the two of us. You’re the one out of sources. You’re really digging into this one thing. Is that all you have and yet have the gall to talk about a hill to die on?

    I’m not defending the dali liama, but i am saying you lack any Nuance or any knowledge on the topic and this conversation is proof of that.

    Would it be minor if it was your child? It’s absolutely atrocious, and unacceptable no matter where you reside on the planet.

    Not everybody on earth acts like a European/American. Believe it or not, not every culture Is as sex obsessed. You can be hugged and kissed by people you share absolutely no blood to in many Asian cultures (coming from an Asian) and the nuances are long and varied, longer than I can be bothered to write but it you had any willingness to learn, you would and could, but that’s asking too much.

    So I ask again, you say pedophilic behaviour, a pedo is someone who is sexually attracted to kids. I’ll ask again, did the Dali liama fuck a child or say publically he wants to fuck children? Even on Lemmy it seems critical debate is a dying breed
