I don't think I've ever met a mean Buddhist, actually!
Come to Malaysia. Your thoughts on the subject might change. LOL.
I think the reason you have not met a mean Buddhist in the USA is that it's self-selective for the most part. For instance, I'm a Buddhist, but I was born and raised a Catholic. In Southeast Asia it's just another religion that you are born into with a strict set of rules and even Gods to worship very similar to Hinduism. They can be quite materialistic to put it mildly which you probably do not normally associate with your image of the Buddhist. Just interesting.
I've met quite a few pseudo-Buddhist's in high school that use Buddhism as a word to demonstrate to people how amazing and righteous they are (and they almost always convert back to whatever they were before they suddenly decided to become Buddhist). That said, I have nothing but respect for true Buddhist's.
So yeah, even Buddhists are capable of doing bad things for the sake of their faith.
Oh yeah, they are quite racist!!! But it has less to do with their faith and more to do with their ethnicity. (i.e. Chinese (Budhist) vs. Malay (Islam) vs. Indian (Hindu or Islam).
even not being involved with politics discussion yet, this happening made me surprised today, the Brazilian canditate for President Eduardo Campos died today in an aeroplane crash, just some few months before the elections. I wonder now if his assistent (maybe vice-president I can't remember) will still have the same support from the people that would vote in him.
Chinese companies can skirt and ignore Canadian laws (provincial and federal) via suing us with this one sided ass raping treaty
Canada is getting raw dogged with no spit on this one
"FIPA will delight the oil companies, but it places Canadian taxpayers at grave risk for billion dollar lawsuits launched by Chinese investors. And maddeningly, the lawsuits won’t take place in Canadian courts. They will be decided by a group of three international arbitrators, in secret, behind closed doors. No Canadian or International court appear able to overturn the tribunal’s decision."
IM GETTING A BRAIN ANEURYSM, FUCK.

I do not believe in such a coincidence.
There were other cases when politicians or other influental people died in suspicious accidents and I think most in most cases there were not only accidents.
Seems that Jian Ghomeshi (prominent media figure, radio host, artist, and great promoter of music and talent) has been fired from CBC. He's claiming that it's because of choices he makes in his private life. Just wondering what individuals on BEA think (I can only imagine what Jack would say...)
If it's like Ghomeshi says, this does not reflect well upon the CBC. At least, that's my initial take. I figured there might be other layers to this and more will probably unfold, so perhaps BEA can weigh in. _________________ Finnegan was super bad-ass.
