is it just me?..I never liked her even when she was under "house arrest" (in a very nice house) for a few years.
Not sure why but I think she has, and always did, a rather nasty looking face. She's an example isn't she of the oppressed becoming the oppressor.
Wonder how credible the latest report was that after being interviewed on UK TV show she spat out when leaving "they didn't tell me I'd be interviewed by a Muslim" |

Rotting from the head down? This comment was mentioned on CNN Talk yesterday, where the panellists were discussing whether Aung San Suu Kyi's Nobel peace prize should be revoked:
"While talking to BBC Today host Mishal Hussein, a respected senior journalist, Suu Kyi said, “No one told me I was going to be interviewed by a Muslim.”"

Buddism is if you read it very different to other "religions". It is concerned with psychology, with the principle being that being kind and gentle and happy makes others so.
It explicitly removes the "I" in every sense to achieve this; abandons western notions of ego...
Again, I just don't - despite the rather obvious responses in my view - understand how this comes about under this particular belief and life practice system....
Ps I'm not a buddhist, but I wish I was happy and lucky enough to be so... |

Faiths are philosophies
Socrates was executed for teaching a life not analysed isn't worth living
Plato was a sportsman, who thought the greatest philosophers and athletes should rule
Aristotle extolled the Golden Mean - moderation in everything
Most might agree with Aristotle - few religions with Socrates and/or Plato
All cults/relgions simply say that the teachings of the prophet, the holy book and the current leader - are the rule book
Few extoll us using our own ability to gauge right and wrong, thinking ALL must have their religion...and philosophy... |

Isn't the most important thing to punish the gruesome/guilty - and not allow perpetrators to escape under, the guise of faith(s)?
Many faiths use their status, power, numbers, financial and political clout - to dodge courts, and refuse to cooperate. Vatican City has learned a lot. |
