Yahoo, like Twitter had to ban comments to protect Biden, Hunter, Fauci and Big Pharma, etc.

In fact they removed the comment section altogether on stories that they knew were lies, hit pieces or propaganda.

Sounds like the usual way leftist ideology does any winning these days, by banning free speech.

Indefensible.

This thread is about none of that.  The fact you feel the need to make political posts on non political threads shows how butt hurt you are about it.  As if Faux, Infowars, Navarro, etc.. doesn't do the same.

Meth Head Monks Of Peace

Meth Head Monks Of Peace

I attempted to find video of their movements, but technology hasn't been invented yet to capture such high speed chop-chop moves.

Meth would be the worst thing for meditation.

I thought maybe they had a false positive test. Like on Seinfeld when Elaine ate poppyseeds on her muffin. But no, those monks are really some enlightened meth heads.

BANGKOK — A small Buddhist temple in northern Thailand has been left without monks after the entire monastery was found to have been using methamphetamine, according to local officials.

Following orders to investigate drug use in Phetchabun province, the sheriff and village headman in Bung Sam Phan subdistrict, some 150 miles north of Bangkok, poked around schools, factories and temples in search of drug addicts and dealers so they could be sent for rehabilitation.

“As a community leader, I was frightened because I never thought the monks would be addicted to drugs,” said Sungyut Namburi, the village headman. “I never thought that drugs would spread to temples.”

Monks are revered figures in Thai culture; in Bangkok’s metro system, seats are reserved for them alongside pregnant and elderly individuals. Particularly in rural areas outside Bangkok, monks are trusted advisers, often serving as counselors and role models to the community.

So it was much to Sungyut’s surprise that all four monks in one small temple tested positive for methamphetamine use when he and the sheriff paid a visit to the monastery Friday. At another small temple, two monks tested positive, he said.

But the writing was on the wall: The monks’ personality and behavior gave them away as drug users, Sungyut said. Some villagers had tipped him off, telling him to check on temples in the community.

Even the abbot — the head of the monastery, who had served as a monk for 10 years — was found to be using drugs. “When I inspected the abbot’s shelter, I was stunned because it was a mess,” Sungyut said. After the drug tests came back positive, he said, the monks confessed to using drugs. Some of them admitted to being longtime addicts.

Thai ex-officer attacks day-care center, killing dozens, including 24 children

The scandal in Phetchabun province comes amid a nationwide crackdown on drugs following a mass killing at a day-care center in October that left 38 dead, most of them children. The suspect, a former police officer, was reported to have been dismissed from the force for methamphetamine possession.

Niti Rungjaruenkij, head of the subdistrict’s administration, said the drug users in the community — including the ex-monks — were enrolled in rehabilitation Wednesday. Sungyut noted that the monks had to leave the monkhood first, as having a monk in rehab would be “inappropriate,” he said. After they are clean from drugs, he said, they can become a monk again if they choose to do so.

But for now, “the temple is empty” without the monks, Sungyut said. He and the sheriff have discussed inviting a “good monk” from elsewhere to fill in. A few monks who heard about the scandal had also offered to stay at the temple to support the community in the interim, he said.

At first, the revelations shocked the community, Sungyut said, causing him to fear that people may lose faith. “It was very difficult for villagers” when they learned of the monks’ transgressions, he said, but they later thanked him for his efforts.

After all, “they are misbehaving monks,” he said, “and they should leave the monkhood if they can’t follow and practice the disciplines.”

When they are supposed to live a simplistic lifestyle sans modern influences (and luxuries) like technology....   what do they find to take apart and put back together obsessively 14 times in a row when they don't have access to remote controls, door knobs, small appliances, etc.

So a cop loses his job for possession and a monk has his entire reason for existing taken away

They're a bunch of stupid, scam-artist little bastards. Lots of them are involved in things like animal and human trafficking, too. I had to live in SE Asia for over a year, and the monks just live a parasitic existence, demanding shit from everyone and blasting entire villages with their ranting all night through fucking loudspeakers. God, I hate them. I've actually just annoyed myself thinking about how little I used to sleep, haha.

Everyone is on meth over there. All the truck drivers use it to stay awake. Likely why they always end up crashing and killing everyone.

100 plus years ago it was heroin. They have always been parasites. Seems all religious leaders have this characteristic.
