Just damn.

Asked in an interview what experiences he had missed that ordinary people had not, he pointed towards his groin and laughed, saying: "I obviously missed this."

This is the most hilarious line! i do NOT want to think about the Pope saying something like that, however!!!

My Dear holy one,
For hawks I think I'd reccomend a 12 gauge over under, with chokes set for different ranges.
Brownings are particuarly nice, but if you're on a budget try the Stoeger Condor.
No Pun intended.

that he shoots at hawks in anger.

A religious leader that shoots at a living thing in anger? Sorry, that doesn't scan for me. I refuse to accept that he's an acceptable leader of anything with that kind of behavior.

The Dalai Lama and Tibetans were hardly nonviolent. With CIA help, they fought the ChiComs for over a decade (Tibetans were trained in the Colorado Rockies). Nixon cut off support in 1969 but some Tibetan contras continued to fight until the mid 1970s.

"Dalai Lama misses sex, shoots guns "

What a misleading title. It depicts a picture of a man who misses sex and enjoys going target practicing.

How can one miss something they have never had?

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on
as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a
caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you
think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama.
The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee
with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one
-- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right
at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga
galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's
gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little
something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh,
there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will
receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

This could have been written by Woody Allen: "...he admitted to having enjoyed spending time with Mao Zedong.

"'At official dinners he made me sit beside him and treated me like his son, sometimes feeding me with his chopsticks.

"'I was afraid that since he coughed so much I would catch something. He was no doubt a great revolutionary, but at the same time, his behaviour was often that of a peasant.'"

Change Mao's name and you would have a scene out ot Bananas! or Zelig.

I miss sex too... been married for 32 years... sex had something to do with nakedness and .... sorry, can't remember.

[George Smiley]

THE Dalai Lama has admitted that, in a lifetime dedicated to celibacy and non-violence, he has missed out on sex and that he shoots at hawks in anger.

Shooting at hawks?

I can see the headline now:

Dalai Lama To Appear Before International Criminal Court:
Violations Of Migratory Bird Treaty Alleged

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I have always been under the impression that the Dalai Lama acknowledges his human foibles and trials, as much as the rest of us do. He seems to be a charming individual.

[rockfish59]

Typical!

Shoots at the 'hawks'.....instead of the commies!
