Lecturing the Dalai Llama? Man, this guy must think he's bigger than Jesus.

"I found out he was not a vegetarian, so I wrote to him saying 'Forgive me for pointing this out, but if you eat animals then there is some suffering somewhere along the line'.

"He replied saying that his doctors had told him he needed it, so I wrote back saying they were wrong."


Thanks, Dr. McCartney.

Paul McCartney should buy a vintage Ford Pinto, and slam on the brakes in front of a speeding tractor trailer. Seriously, Paul STFU. You can't even have sex with a woman without her taking half your stuff.

The Chinese already did. Now the people are free to glory in the atheistic glory of the Han, rather than mumbling superstitions to their old gods with a Buddhist veneer. TIBET IS FREE!

Paul doesn't eat meat because he feels guilty about secretly killing all the other Beatles including the original Paul. He hopes it will erase his bad karma.

Current Ringo is an alcohol fueled robot in case you are wondering.

Ok, STOP...someone said to me the other night (whilst all were drunken and sotted) that Paul killed the original Paul.

Do you mean to tell me this is some widespread conspiracy theory, and not this guy's nuttery?

You seriously need to bone up on your Beatles mythology. The "Paul is dead" thing is one of the weirdest, most sadly entertaining parts of their mystique.

That this Paul killed the original Paul might be part of his individual nuttery, but the Paul is dead bit is old hat. I forget how it goes. I think they said he died in an automobile crash, there was a Paul lookalike contest, they hired this guy, and the band put little hints in songs and album artwork. The "hints" get really convoluted sometimes, but some are actually somewhat clever.

No, he isn't. He told Paul to shut up right on the Larry King show.

Um. OK. He's telling the Dalai Lama not to listen to his own doctors or his own conscience, but to listen to an overrated musician instead?

I think Heather got half his BRAIN. Next he'll be telling the Pope he needs to convert to Judaism.

 
tokyogirl79 2008-12-16 12:06:51 AM  
I've always thought that Paul was a douchebag.

In any case, I think that if the tables were turned that Paul would change his mind in an instant if he were the one who had to eat meat to survive. He'd even come up with some sort of weepy PSA where he claimed to be doing it "for the fans".

 
cheap_thoughts 2008-12-16 12:11:55 AM  
I just came to say what everyone else has.

Paul is a douche.

The Beatles are overrated.

 
shirtsbyeric 2008-12-16 03:16:01 AM  
Did he lecture him about bad meat in the can?

 
BohemianGraham 2008-12-16 04:56:31 AM  
Paul has always been a giant attention whore. Worst Beatle Ever. Someone needs to go to Newfoundland and club a few baby seals in his honour and mail them to him.

 
ragnarqk 2008-12-16 05:42:07 AM  
I think the Dalai Lama should write back to him and say "Man, life is suffering. That's one of the noble truths, ffs. No getting around it. Therefore, it would be impractical of me to give even 1/4 of a shiat about eating meat."

Bossy, yes....but this is a bit different. It's like he's started taking credit for everything the Beatles did...

Bhasayate [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 06:32:20 PM  
It's OK for Buddhist monks and mendicants to eat meat if it is placed in their begging bowl.

It's not like the Dalai Lama is all "Weeee! I get to eat meat now!" I am sure that the only reason he is doing it is on the Dr's orders. In this way, it's sort of like "eating what is placed in his bowl" -- if he didn't eat it, he would not live, and he has to live if he's going to teach the Dharma, the 8-Fold Path.

It's like Mr. Paul here is totally not getting it. It reminds me of a story...

Two monks were on a pilgrimage. They had both taken a vow of silence. They approached a river and a young woman (not a hooker, just a girl) wanted to get across the river, but wasn't able to get across (I forget exactly why). So, one of the monks picked her up and carried her across the river. These monks had taken a vow not to touch a woman.

So, a few hours later, the other monk asked him, "why did you pick up that lady?"

The monk simply replied, "I put her down and out of my mind two hours ago, you're still carrying her."

Point? It's not always the "letter of the law" that matters, but the spirit.

Paul is NOOB.

 
hovsm 2008-12-17 01:05:43 AM  
Why doesn't Paul step over some more boundaries that are none of his business and try to teach him about Christianity? A lot of vegetarians are like crazy hardcore christians trying to convert everybody.

 
Pengfish 2008-12-18 02:25:54 PM  
My Reeboks are cooler than McCartney's because they are supported by the Defender of the Universe while his are merely black and white.
