Quite considerate of Tayna to bare you, quite a spectacle.
She loves me, filthy minx. Rising sun would be dead without me.

Is this it ??She loves me, filthy minx. Rising sun would be dead without me.
Jim once fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded. He seemed really happy with that one but it never aired....Have no clue who that is.

Even the Dalai Lama has now come out with a chequered and questionable past of asking young boys to suck on his tongue. Few people apologising for him saying it's playful but surely that's the point, playful attracts kids who know no better? So many decent on the face of it people spoil it....
Generally though people won't condemn or cancel things that are an inconvenience to their passions and hobbies IMO. Look at football and all that goes on, people don't care enough to challenge it because it would be too much of a burden on their weekend and potential success. We make heroes of despicable people whilst decent people generally get ridiculed and ignored in general

And he is suppose to enlightened and all knowingI have just seen the clip of the Dalai Lama thing and I am so utterly confused/ worried about his actions there.
In the full view of cameras / press he got a kid who isn't related to him to kiss him on the lips, as if that is acceptable in any way, the tongue sucking thing is as unbelievable but there's case albirt miniscule for it being a "joke" even if there is absolutely no element of humour or appropriacy but the kiss thing - Like what the actual fudge.
We expect it from Catholic priests behind closed doors but the Pope is usually wise enough to not proposition minors on live television, whether in the public eye or not obviously all of it is truly disgusting and reprehensible
It's horrendous as the kid respectfully asked for consent to hug him which is a healthy question to ask and then it was escalated to something else that'll sadly live with him forever.

I read about this and wondered if the tongue sucking was a cultural thing, we all have different customs after all, and it had been misinterpreted.
It just seems so bizarre (apologies to any Buddhist if it is an accepted custom), and a but icky.
As I said, even without the tongue thing it's horrendous. It's hugely worrying that anyone, never mind a religious leader doesn't know it's not really appropriate to kiss a child on the lips ( I know there's a general debate whether it's okay if it's your own son / daughter but that's another can of worms). I don't think that's me being holier than thou - Thou being the Dalai Lama not yourself!
Buddhism tends to be the least offensive / most reasonable long formed organised religion in line with modern standards where racism / slavery / homophobia / bigotry isn't tolerated but even if the tongue thing was a custom, apologising for criticising it is a bit of a nonsense mate (imo of course). Not sure if you have kids but hypothetically if someone did what the guy did to your child and then suggested it was okay in their culture, I doubt that would fly as a justification. Some things / behaviors are absolutely justified to be intolerant of.
Just purely on consent level and there being a worrying power imbalance in that dynamic I can't wrap my head around the thought process...
I don't have kids, so i take your point there.
The tongue sucking just seemed like such a weird thing to do, thats why i wondered if its was a local thing.
Not seen the video but i assumed it was a Buddhist child, is it not?
Tbh i wouldn't like to criticise something that my culture finds unacceptable but others don't.
There could be perfectly reasonable explanation for it, it's not my place to judge.
At the moment it doesn't appear to be the norm so i understand the outrage, but I'm also wary of falling into the trap of prejudice.
And if it was my child, no i would not be happy.
Haha, quite. All the outrage over a relatively harmless thing, when catholic priests seem to have child molestation in their job descriptions.
Just for the record, I think the tongue sucking thing is weird as well, not sure why he did that, but it seems quite innocent and "playful" rather than something sexual to me. I can't quite see the Dalai Lama being a peadophile, but who knows ...

If you're not outraged by a grown up in a position of power pressuring a child to kiss him on the lips after the kid had reasonably asked for a hug then I just don't know where to start. That's an outrageous action that merits outrage and is how it can be described as harmless is mystifying to me. The tongue joke thing is vaguely more defendable but still grim af. Not sure you'd describe it as harmless if it has happened to you or a family member of yours.
Obviously what sadly often happens behind closed doors under the protection of organised religion is more much more severe, I don't think anyone is accusing the Dalai Lama of sexually abusing kids, unless the kissing thing falls under that catagory, which i don't know if it does and probably varies in it's legal definition from country to country..
Shame is an interesting concept, and it makes us behave in ways that we think are innate, but maybe is way more learned than we tend to accept.
The world changes and people should change with it for better, its generally those that don't that get called out. I mean Elvis married an underage girl and that lifestyle was the norm in entertainment but even in then it was bad and rightfully worse now and the shame with it warranted.
I think with anything like this you have to put yourself in the shoes of both, would you ask a minor in any circumstance to suck your tongue? I can't see any rational reason for it, would you like to see it happen to your child? Same answer for me.
Its not an OTT outcry, its just rightfully called out as weird, the illusion of the reaction being overblown comes only due to the status of the person it involves not the level of reaction IMO
You could also flip it on its head and say the reaction to such things is often downplayed because of religion or level of power, thats certainly the case for many things that happen even today.
