rkidlad Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Being a judge residing over a defamation case here must be like being a primary school teacher. But instead of clonking their heads together and telling them to go away, you actually entertain this BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadGeordie Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I find it interesting that he made the effort to deny that he was involved in "hiring reporters to cover an event", but did not bother to deny " being a parasite and a member of an illegal gang."

mrrizzla Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Do all these monks involved in all sorts of things ever have the time to do their so called religious duties ? Especially Mr Isara. It seems he always has time to be political, elitist, xenophobic and saber rattle. All the things The Buddha stood for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
