Reply #13: I can't look down my long blue Buddhist nose at this one

because there was a story a year or so ago about Buddhist monks from different monasteries representing different sects in Thailand getting into a physical altercation as they passed each other in the street.

Violence over nothing isn't limited to religion. It infects differing philosophical opinions, too, as well as something as banal as rooting for different corporate sports teams.

The monks, however, were disrobed and sent packing from their respective monasteries.

I doubt anything will happen to the priests.
