Difficult to track. Maybe a scientific approach like DNA could protect the integrity of Buddhism if it is so important? I don't know all the details, but my stepson has been a gap-year monk for the past year, so I know they've gotten pretty strict, with picture ID cards, etc. I think their main concern is the proliferation of fake monks, but other considerations would also come into play, I think. I don't know how strictly one is registered at any given temple at any given time, (as a lay practitioner I was not registered), but simply 'changing one's name' I don't think would be possible, unless it were all legal and above-board...

Homosexual activity was rampant in zen temples Yep sadly it's a fact. Child abuse is rampant in "ALL" temples and churches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna restrict kitchen knifes next? Additional want remind you that uou are living in LOS! Cars, trucks, vans amd bikes are killing people here! Knifes & axes as well - but BB-guns? Sorry, mate, that's lefty lib giant BS! Isn't it? ?? I can google in more detail what a BB-gun is than you can possibly know by heart. What is your point? Why would i want to restrict kitchen knifes? Without them its hard to cut meat, i rather have them. Yes, i remember where i live. I see palmtrees when i look out of my window. Yes, many people die other ways, how is that an argument that realistic looking bb-guns should be legal here? Smoking kills even more people than IS, so why have a war against IS and not against big-tabacco? Maybe invade the Phillip Morris factory instead of some middle eastern country? Hunger also kills more people than Saddam Hussein has, so why invade Iraq? I really don't get your logic. Must have something to do with your American political stand that you have let go of logic to defend your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you care to point out the 5 military rifles and the differences between the real thing and airsoft / BB. Shouldn't be difficult from a photograph.

Iffen we're gonna invade any place, ( other than the girlie bars on Loi Kroh ) let's invade THIS place, The R. J. Reynolds factory. I'll donate. (I have a few BB guns laying around somewhere from when I was a kid ) I smoked those things for years, the ciggies I mean. Enjoyed every <deleted>' one I ever smoked. Started when I was six or seven years old...used to steal them from PaPa. Damned near killed me...Papa and the ciggies. Finally had sense enough to smoke me last one Dec. 14th, 1976...12 noon. YAY for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
