China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate
michaelcole writes "China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. This article is both hilarious and sad, looking at the lengths to which a government will go to regulate thought through censorship. It also goes into some of the more subtle politics of the current 72-year-old Dalai Lama as he thinks about his political and spiritual successor. The Dalai Lama 'refuses to be reborn in Tibet so long as it's under Chinese control.'"
The USA and the EU Union announced that all terrorists are no longer permitted to reincarnate unless a court ruling otherwise is issued. Bush was heard saying that they should have done it sooner and now because of the delay we are in danger of 9/11 terrorist that could now be playing in our parks. It was also heard that this is also for the sake of the good children that also had reincarnated. An extremists who do not wish to be made known commented that no terrorist on his right mind would want to be reincarnated now considering that the world is experiencing a shortage of virgins...
My god, you're right. And not only do we not have a headscarf law, but our allies mostly don't either! Maybe the UN should enact some sort of global mandate requiring headscarf sensitivity laws and other good ideas.
oh well the add was still disabled however their CSS trick leaves a blanc white frame over the page.
So i only noticed it was google to blame and slashdot themselves for allowing google to show it.
I use AVANT brouwser so i normaly dont see any adds, only some left overs of poor CSS design.
CSS is probaply allready a bit of a miracle overhere (hahahaha).
I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.
until now, i didn't even know that slashdot has ads. *pats die little ABP-sign in the topright corner*
No Avant brouwser is just fine as it's verry productive to me.
It has a need search option which automaticly can highlight my searched words in any internet text.
As i read a lot of internet text for my work this realy shortens my read and search work.
I've seen others but it's simply fast and easy and at the end of the day i do realy have some time left over.
That's why i stick to Avant as it speeds up my work.
I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.
FireFox does that, too. Control-F puts a search box on the bottom toolbar and any word you type it will find the next one of, or check "highlight all" box and it will do what you describe. I also really like that feature, it makes searching for a specific thing on a big page much easier.

What are you talking about? Headscarf is a head cover, not a face cover...
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
Yes indeed,
Avant also use it's same search box to forward those words to any search engine you prefer.
it's a bit all in one, but not a widely known brouwser.
I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.
Yes, we got over it HERE, but we're repeating that THERE. Think about the ultimate purpose of Iraq war. So Chinese are just doing that HERE of their own.
*hands you a soapbox*
Here, this might help your rant.

Got it. Oil. Where are you going with this?
If you think we're actually over there to spread "Western values," you're buying the same line that's been sold to America's right wing.

Any man made institution, be it governmental or religious attempts to be an authority, and is a consolidation of power. These institutions may not seek power themselves at first, but will eventually attract those seeing power. Then these institutions are infiltrated by these individuals and the corruption begins...
;-) ) choose which gospels it would have in its bible because you had to pay people to copy these texts by hand. Eventually, a common set emerged and they not make up the Bible. Was it wight for the many churches to exclude any gospel? These are supposed to be holier books.. I guess some are holier than others...
It is important to always question authority and anything else that is presented as authority. It doesn't matter if it is the Constitution of the US, or a Bible. Find out what authority is really possessed and how relevant the words are. For those who think the Bible is the original word of God, you have to look at how the words got to your brain. They were laid on the page by the publisher, who probably took some liberty when they copied from another text, and that text took some liberties from the scroll it came from... It all goes back to these gospels that were written 40-400 years after Jesus. If they were really eye witness accounts, then they would agree, but the Gospels of Mark and Matthew don't agree, even though they tell the same story. On top of that, there were many other gospels that never got included in the Bible. The reason is the church (an authority

Really... +5 for that sack of lies huh? You know you remind me of stories from my dad's Aunt and Uncle who were missionaries in Cuba and Russia, and the lies that were spread about them. I can't believe you would insult so many of your past presidents, and call them all psychotics like that. I suppose, however, by slaming Christianity it's OK. Saying the same thing about any other religion would probably have this marked as Flamebait. Not that I would condone that, I actually BELIEVE in Freedom of Religion. And God. wow. What a concept huh?
Using your same logic, all teachers are bad, as I know of one that had "relations" with his underage students. Yes, let's stereotype more! This is what will bring the might US of A back on track. Why, just look at how wonderful things are in the US now that there is such anti-religious elements. Hell, using your logic, I know a NUMBER of Athiests that do meth... do they all do meth then? They MUST!
Can you please show me where in the Bible it says to do Crystal Meth, and to be bad people? I missed that bit.
After all, a majority should be punished for the minorities actions, right? As long as we believe in what you tell me to, the world will be just fine, right?
