Thank you for the correction. But on the main issue, it appears to me that Amma was encouraging good manners and respect for other cultures. That seems sensible to me. No one is condoning violence. But that does not excuse the extreme cultural insensitivity and/and ignorance of the cartoonists and publishers.
If a paper published pictures of someone masturbating upon, then crapping and pissing on the Canadian flag before burning it, it would be in horrid taste. But to condem such would not at all be justifying your actions if you lashed out with some violent act in protest. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, foufou_fl <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" <shempmcgurk@> > > wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, t3rinity <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" > <shempmcgurk@> > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer > > > <fairfieldlife@> > > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.amritapuri.org/teachings/message/cartoon.php > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My opinion: > > > > > > > > > > Amma should have kept her mouth shut.
