Well, I guess you could say Latin America is self-sufficient in food if you include cockroaches as one of the major food groups!

Looks like a pit-bull. Or a piglet?

It’s a cui. Like a guinea pig or sumpin. Apparently quite yummy.

I do not have enough time to correct all of the half truths from the first post in this thread. Buddhism is not the main religion of India. Also, the author of the first post in this thread does not fully understand the concept reincarnation and/or Karma. Nor does he or she understand that reincarnation is not a Buddhist teaching. The author also quotes Gandhi who was a Hindu and not a Buddhist in an article titled “ Why Buddhism will fail Tiger Woods”

I’ll take your word for it!

It could be made more palatable if they’d cut it up into more presentable portions.

Well, maybe Tiger’s thinking of using all those meditation and breathing techniques for a foray into Tantrism.

Well, why not.

He was obviously quite successful with that breathing technique :)

Yup, he showed himself to be quite the deft and skilful putter and a vigorous driver with some powerful and effective swinging techniques.

Might help his golf too, that Tantrism.

I am going to suggest that you do a little research on reincarnation and Buddhism before you embarrass yourself any further. Many of your statements about Buddhism and reincarantion show a great oblivion. A little due diligence can go a long ways. Most of your generalizations about reincarantion show a lack of worldliness and education.

Someone’s confused. What you’re attributing to Buddhism are much more a part of Hinduism. Kinda like blaming Catholicism for alleged* flaws of Mormonism.

(* - I said “alleged”.)

4) If we’re all being recycled, where are all the new babies coming from?

Species extinction. Spotted owls got it right, so they're moving up to third-world humans.

“To break free from Reincarnation, one must live a harmless life. You can’t even kill a microbe. Yet our immune system kills millions each day. This means there is no hope of ever escaping the wheel of Karma”

o.k. this one made me laugh... Did you make this up? If not where did you read about the microbe?

Well, there’s nothing to make one believe more in the One True Son of God than a quick perusal of the Monotheistic Cage Fighting Threads.

People make their lives better how they do. I personally do not think that criticizing a man’s religion is helpful. You don’t have to be Christian to be good.

And on the thread about his full apology text, where none of the commenters seems to be supportive and forgiving at all of Tiger, or even took his apology as sincere, I wonder how “good” those Christian commenters were.

I am willing to give the guy a break. It’s not easy to change your entire self-view and world-view. Bravo for Tiger for trying. I hope he succeeds.

How many months does it take to get cured from hitting on every good looking woman you run across?
