Sarge Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm with you on this. I thought it was funny that the News Chick seemed surprised when she said he had never heard of Tiger Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some reporter got an interview with the Dalai Lama, and the best thing she could think of to ask him was something about Tiger Woods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." --The Dalai Lama, as quoted in Guns and Ammo magazine, December 2001 Guns are obviously more important to him than Tiger Woods.

Neomet Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Some reporter got an interview with the Dalai Lama, and the best thing she could think of to ask him was something about Tiger Woods? Apparently that was the depth of her intellectual pool. She will do well on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 She asked because Tigger once professed to being a practicing Buddhist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Why didn't she ask what the answer was to this months win a book contest? Now that's useful information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Yeah, if I had one question to put to the Pope it wouldn't be to ask what he thought about Shaquille O'Neal You get to ask a question of someone who is believed to be the 14th earthly incarnation of a god, who has won the Nobel Peace Prize, is leader of one of the major religions in the world, is head of a government in exile who is a constant thorn in China's side and the best question you can come up with is what do you think of Tiger?

SiG Lady Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It truly WAS a dumb-ass thing to ask the Dalai Lama, of all people. Jeez. So what if Tiger Woods was allegedly a buddhist?? A lot of people are. The Dalai Lama (or any other buddhist leader) can't be expected to know all of Buddhism's followers. What the media currently thinks is "important" these days is getting to be downright nauseating. A very sad and embarrassing commentary on our society.

-JQ- Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I've been thinking all day what I would ask the Dalai... I think I have settled on this. "What does this mean?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Damn, folks. I wasn't defending her question; only citing her reason for why she asked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) I didn't take it that way at all. I just lost my ability to be compassionate to all sentient beings and non-attached so cut loose at her again. Bad Buddhist...... Baaaaaaadddd Buddhist. Maybe the reporter can ask HH what he thinks about me the next time she interviews him. Edited February 22, 2010 by Neomet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Or maybe His Holiness DID know who the hell Tiger Woods is/was, and was just trying to trip up or embarrass the ditzy media person...! The guy already has a notorious sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah, if I had one question to put to the Pope it wouldn't be to ask what he thought about Shaquille O'Neal You get to ask a question of someone who is believed to be the 14th earthly incarnation of a god, who has won the Nobel Peace Prize, is leader of one of the major religions in the world, is head of a government in exile who is a constant thorn in China's side and the best question you can come up with is what do you think of Tiger? She may as well asked him whether he thought OJ killed his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmanfixit Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I really don't understand why you all would be surprised about a question like that!?? Look at the top shows on the good ol tube. America's Top Model. (Form, totally devoid of substance) The Bachelor (Seems to me every one of these "happy" couples are divorced now.) Any " Reality" show. ( C'mon, TRIBES, again??) Same theater as in the Colosseum while Rome went down the tubes. This is MUCH improved though. You don't have to go out, it comes right into your living room! This is the mental equivalent of of having a steady diet of "Agri-food" " Oh yeah, I'll have 5 or 7 more of them Pop Tarts". I'm surprised she didn't ask if he gets Botox!! Kevin C WHERE do you FIND stuff like that?? That is hysterical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Some years ago I saw film, or more of a documentary, called 10 Questions to the Dali Lama. The whole thing was awesome, I wonder if it's available online? Probably, because it wasn't a for profit thing. I saw it in a gallery in Scottsdale. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
