Regardless of the BBC's enduring facade of 'impartiality' and 'standards', news is now openly ideological and uniform, as the demands of the 'market' supercult are met. When slow news is included, it is more than likely dressed in a political and social vocabulary that ensures the truth is lost. Thus, in Britain, as in the United States (and Australia), the systematic impoverishment of a quarter of the population is routinely filed under 'underclass', an American term describing a corrupting, anti-social group outside society. The solution to poverty, which is the return of vast wealth taken from the poor by the rich, is seldom given a public airing. The 'new' system of capitalism for the powerless and socialism for the powerful, under which the former are persecuted and the latter are given billions in public subsidies, is rarely identified as such. Terms like 'modernisation' are preferred.

A most frequent misunderstanding. I couldn't have said it better than the people from buddhismnow.com:
Does Buddhism teach reincarnation?
Reincarnation is not a teaching of the Buddha. In Buddhism the teaching is of rebirth, not of reincarnation.
What is the difference between reincarnation and rebirth?
The reincarnation idea is to believe in a soul or a being, separate from the body. At the death of the physical body, this soul is said to move into another state and then enter a womb to be born again.
Rebirth is different and can be explained in this way. Take away the notion of a soul or a being living inside the body; take away all ideas of self existing either inside or outside the body. Also take away notions of past, present and future; in fact take away all notions of time. Now, without reference to time and self, there can be no before or after, no beginning or ending, no birth or death, no coming or going. Yet there is life! Rebirth is the experience of life in the moment, without birth, without death; it is the experience of life which is neither eternal nor subject to annihilation.

I'm not tibetan. I know only few tibetans. Clearly, for me it's a case of justice, of human dignity, of teachings in non-violence.
Marius und Ratzfatz im Glashaus. Schiessen scharf. Darf man das? Ist das nicht Revolution? Die stiften doch tatsächlich Kinder an das Grätli ins WC… dürfen die beiden das eigentlich? Ist das nicht inflationär-revolutionär? Also ich find schon, check it out:
Kein Thema: mitnichten kein Thema mehr! Demit es jede Tubel verstoht…
«das lied sch scho 20 johr alt! aber emmerno en HIT :) »
