Short story: Trinley Dorje (24), current Karmapa Lama and maybe future successor to the Dalai Lama, he's the only senior Buddhist leader recognized by the governments of Tibet, India, and China is all about listening to hip hop on his iPod and believes playing violent Vidya Games is actually therapeutic. I must say I'm really starting to dig this guy. Long Interview with: Official source from "The Times of India". Shortish but sweet story from gaming site qj.net
About time we get some positive faces representing/defending our hooby eh? One day all the old farts will be rotting corpses and we'll be the next in line to seize control. Has our Day come bothers and sisters? Edited by sadistic_greyfox, Sep 20 2009, 11:40:01 PM.

The Anti-Buddha is upon us. Sounds like an interesting guy, I want to know what his fellow monks think of him. Edited by Django, Sep 20 2009, 11:11:02 PM.

Well I imagine he would be an intelligent guy anyway so its not as if this is surprising. Intelligent people aren't against games. |

You imagine he would be an intelligent guy? Why? What do you mean by 'intelligent'? Many intelligent people are against video games. |

You know, him being the frigging Karmapa Lama and all?
No they are not. If they are against video games then they are ignorant and unintelligent. |

And religious leaders are naturally intelligent. He didn't sit an exam for this, Roy. Some babbling monks decided he would be their new leader.
Jack Thompson, although a massive Joke was a Lawyer. Stupid people do not pass law school and become lawyers. Dave Grossman was a Military Scientist. Hillary Clinton was a Lawyer. Many others. Choosing to ignore the truth =/= unintelligent. |

I don't know about their book smarts but he's the only one to me who has any sort of Common Sense, in that sense he's 100 times wiser than those unwanted children of mother earth/politicians.

I really don't think this dude is intelligent. Hell, he believes that he may have been a toad in a past life, and that we're all going to a place of eternal bliss. I don't call that intelligent. |

Well Buddhism isn't like most Religions, don't generalise. I mean, I have a lot of respect for Buddhism and I would think that they would elect someone intelligent as their leader.
Judging something you haven't got a clue about is unintelligent. I don't care if Jack Thompson passed law fucking school, he's an unintelligent fool. Edited by Roy, Sep 21 2009, 12:05:08 AM.

Shit. If YOU have respect for it, then it must be right. I know quite a bit about Buddhism, alright? It's no different than any other religion, and I honestly could not care how much you like it. They, like all religions, pick who they deem to be the right person for it. Hell, in fact, the Vatican has more intelligent choices for people than some average kid. The Popes have to learn variousl languages, and recite scriptures by memory. Learn thousands of years of history, learn politics, learn economics. This kid doesn't.
That's because shut up. Edited by £, Sep 21 2009, 12:10:34 AM.

Thats a bit harsh, generalising Religion like that. And what the hell are they supposed to do? Pick the person who they deem to be the wrong person? :/ Plus, I'm talking about intelligence, not knowledge, kkarbo. |

It's good to see religious leaders (stupid concept) getting involved with contemporary society, but let us not be under any illusions, this guy is going to be as much of a shit stain on the world as any other Dalai Lama. |

For the most part all religious leaders are unnecessary in our modern society but I guess they're gonna stick around either because of tradition/force of habit or as long as people have questions about Life and Death. Since they're gonna hang around, probably way longer than we'll live, it's nice that maybe general opinions on gaming will change and some of the prior ignorance's forgotten, hopefully all the other fanatical religions will follow in these footsteps. I remember when I'd go to church as a kid the Pastor would say that the people who made these games got Satanist and other folks from the dark side to put spells on the video games so kids could get addicted and enjoy murder :/ . |
