| I went to hear him speak in the 90s, and found him celeb-obsessed and lacking in any moral authority. I agree he should step down, and behavior is disgusting. The poor kid. |
| He disrespects women, so I wouldn't be surprised if he disrespects children |
| Are we really ruling out dementia, at his age? |
Ah yes, that tired old excuse. |
I didn't see people laughing. I saw people looking uncomfortable. The guy on the left side of the screen looks really concerned. |
I’m not … he has never don’t this before as far as I am aware … most likely explanation |
I have spent the last seven years working in hospice care mostly with patients suffering some form of dementia. DEMENTIA DOES NOT CAUSE PEDOPHILIA!! PERIOD. Dementia prevents people from employing masking strategies they have utilized their whole lives to cover personality defects and/or paraphilia. THAT WAS ALREADY THERE. I’m disgusted today but entirely unsurprised. Religion is a hive mind and that’s a great setting for exploitation of vulnerable people. |
| If China didn’t annex Tibet and he wasn’t living in exile, hardly anyone would care about him or know who he is. There’s nothing remarkable about the Dalai Lama. |
Dementia doesn’t cause pedophilia. If the Dalai Lama likes young boys to suck his tongue (so scary and DISGUSTING to type and think about!) it’s because that’s what he wants. The clip of him asking that child to do that is extremely upsetting and disturbing. That’s exactly how pedos work. He was probably so overwhelmed with attraction to the child (shudder) he just wanted what he wanted. It’s so gross that a pp upthhread blamed the “coverage.” |
The place where he can be kept from mixing with the public and kept away from young people is called prison. |
Dementia causes inappropriate behavior, though, which this could be, quite apart from pedophilia. |
If the Dalai Lama is acting like a pedo, and if he has dementia, the dementia has UNMASKED his pedophilia and he can no longer hide it. Dementia doesn’t make someone a pedo. Nice people here defending this criminal behavior…GROSS. There is nothing that indicates DL has dementia. But he certainly likes little boys to suck his tongue, publicly, even. |
Dementia does distort time perception though. The person effected can be experiencing themselves at any age. He was completely out of line, but he may not have been coming from the perspective as an adult. |
That’s not what PP was saying. They were saying the coverage was not harsh enough. |
