building says...

4. You know what?

The Dalai Lama would probably have a good laugh. He's pretty known for his humor; he's also pretty criticized for it. I'm a devout buddhist and took no offense at all.

5. Hey, I called him a "marketing genius" in a classroom full of 75

religion majors, and they wigged out on me.

The teacher glared---it was ugly.

I tried to get ANYONE in the room to explain to me how the man reaches out to Americans without money---

Whatever.

I like what he has to say---but, I hate the way Tibetan Buddhism is marketed here, and in Europe.

11. Hey, I called parents "breeders" in an LBN thread and survived.

It evoked more comment than if I had used the term parents. It worked just as I had intended.

13. I've been called a breeder...

I took offense...I admit it. I don't like the word at all, but hey, I had three kids.

Nice to know I can laugh it off now and not get my underwear in a bunch about it. It's the truth. I come from a long line of breeders. :rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Don't we all?

I found the term offensive at first too, and then I learned to laugh at it. I don't really describe parents that way as a rule.:hi:

12. At least you didn't crack on Cindy Sheehan...

...that would be certain death.

Although you should make sure that your life insurance is paid up just in case.
