I've never seen Jain's stir shit up. I would've mentioned Buddhists, but I can't do that anymore after what happened in Myanmar.
I was going to say Buddhism, but I know too many asshole Buddhists.

It's too much a part of human nature to hold your own beliefs as being better than other people's, so there's bound to be some Jains who are assholes about it as well.

In these years, I've learnt not to judge a religion based on the actions of one man. But when groups of Buddhists feature violence together, then it becomes too big to ignore. I've never seen organized crime by Jain groups though.

Problem is that being a dick is an essential part of human nature for at least some people for at least some of the time. There's no escaping it. So it will creep into any religion, really.

It's like most things, the behaviour of the 'crowd' is never practiced by those who actually educate themselves critically.

Religion, Politics, Economics.

Sometimes you get a perfect storm of retardation, Sarah Palin.
The dilemma of an educated man, I suppose.

The golden rule my son.
Served me well so far in my life, but it does have its flaws.

we are anticipating a violent backlash from the Islamists and for this reason the army will be joining the police in providing security. Tomorrow/Today the head of the highest court in egypt will be declared temporary president and a government made up of all the opposition parties will be installed temporarily. The opposition will also elect a committee to revise constitutional amendments (Morsy passed his constitution illegally and that was part of his battle with the judiciary)

Temporarily as in until new presidential elections are made.
Good luck to you and your country.
