Re: Tibetan Self Immolation Protest & Aftermath
Wow. Must take some dedication to do something like that to yourself. I do feel for Tibet but I don't think I'll be setting myself alight in the streets of lerwick anytime soon.  Great post |

Re: Tibetan Self Immolation Protest & Aftermath
The scary part is in imagining exactly how bad your life must be, or the lives of those around you, for you to feel that this is the only way anyone will pay attention, or be able to get the word out. When monks are being brutally executed, there is something horribly, terrifyingly wrong. I can only imagine the dedication it must take to do this, I am scared of fire.  |

His life in this world is over. Just give him too much morphine and let him move right along. |

Re: Tibetan Self Immolation Protest & Aftermath
 I always find myself imagining how shit like this must feel. I definitely consider myself "strong" on the emotional side (in a good way)...so it's difficult to grasp this mentality. OBVIOUSLY the physical pain is immeasurable, but the reasons to do this to yourself on the emotional level must trump any fear of the pain (if that fear even exists for that person). Fucking terrible. I think "Stop-Drop & Roll" isn't going to be very effective.  |

I love the way he looks like he's grinning in one of the photos ...
