I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Just like we say fark you to others but dun literally mean it.How would you parents feel if a stranger wait outside the school gate and when your primary school going children come out of the gates the stranger asked them to suck his thumb jokingly are you parents ok? Jokes only what?

Jokes only what?At most you can accuse him of not adhering to "decorum" but he's unlikely to be a pedophile. If he's one, he won't be so stupid to say it in a public event. No one's perfect. Can you name me anyone who hasn't made a gaff in the public before?
Imagine your child was tongued by the Dalai Lama - how? Ask your child to enjoy it since tonnes of blessings including viruses passed on to your child!? Or can the family GP pokes at your daughter's privates and jokingly said " wa all grown up already!"
There are always decorum and how to behave in public!

(12-04-2023, 10:40 AM)Surely you know there is no suck tongue of any sort in the traditional greeting right?Even Dalai Lama apologizes for it and yet you still trying to whitewash..sgbuffett Wrote: Let's look at the facts.
1. Dalai Lama stick out hjs tongue typical of Traditional greeting.
2. He laughingly said to the child "suck my tongue".
3. It was don't in a public setting with cameras rolling.
Yes we are all uncomfortable but it is likely to be cultural thing rather than something sinister. They are just friendly with tongue.
Like Russians men kiss as greeting.
