@freemo
yeh, Afrikaner people (descendants of the French-Dutch settlers from way back, of which I am one) in SA all take for-fucking-ever to say goodbye,
They do it exactly like your image described .... lol
@falgn0n Oh wow, thats surprising. I live in the Netherlands right now and thats not something I'd expect of a people that came from here.
@thatbrickster @dtluna Yea, though most just dont see it that way :(
@falgn0n What makes you say that? I've never been there but I thought it was taken over by the Dutch?
@saltorito@freespeech.host @dtluna Yup, exactly!
@thatbrickster @dtluna I know right!
@dtluna I assume you mean the comic is anti-marxism?

A quote from Wikipedia regarding Chinese governments view of Buddhist reincarnation:
"On August 3, 2007, State Religious Affairs Bureau Order No. 5 was issued by China which states that all the reincarnations of tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are illegal or invalid. "
I seriously can't stop laughing at the Chinese government for thinking they can dictate who does or does not reincarnate, lol.
