Word ! I grandfather was thrown in jail and beaten to death during the culture revolution and my parents were sent to country side to do hard labor at age of 17. Needless to say, I was pretty anti-CCP when I was young. But when you grow older, you start to see the other side of the story, you start to see things are alot more complex than it appears. Just because chinese government doesn't fit your image for a good government, but make everything they do automatically wrong. Facts are still facts, free-tibet is just a totally baseless lie. On this Tibet issue you will find alot of ppl like me, who are otherwise neutral, come out and support beijing.
I love it when people try to look smart and end up looking silly. Yes the CCP is communist in name but their economic system is free of most communistic tendencies so I find that label meaningless at this point. SO you're basically wrong on that score. Even the most hardcore PRC defenders will not shy away from the fact that the PRC operates an authoritarian (look it up) system of government. I suppose calling it a dictatorship is wrong insofar as there is no single individual dictator as there was in the Mao days - it certainly is a one party dictatorship however. Finally - as for the lack of accountability - tell me next time you vote for or against Uncle Hu. Yeah...I thought so.
I found SamFisher is starting to talk with some sense lately. I still can't believe that I actually agree with some of the stuffs that he said today.
lol, what's the difference between 1 party and 2 parties? maybe they should just break the party apart and label, leftist party and rightist party, or middleman. that's essentially what it is right now.
see? here we go again...... Hu is not elected in an democratic way that fits the western understanding => everything he does must be wrong. dude...you really need to learn how to think logically....
Uh, oh, it's time for Emperor MFW the Merciless' customary late afternoon internet rampage. Now that the markets have closed he's free to train his devastating internet salvos on all of China's tormentors Better put it on DEFCON 2!
And Sammy is here to dodge the issue once again with some worthless jab, running away immediately afterwards. But hey, if posting some pathetic picture is as a cheap thrill is as good as a debate, I'm game: Brave Sir Sam ran away. Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Sam turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Sam! He is packing it in and packing it up And sneaking away and buggering up And chickening out and pissing off home, Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...

LMAO, one of my friends just emailed from SF, said on the local news last night, a reporter pulled out a map and asked some white protestors where Tibet was on the map and they couldn't do it. Guess my little moron "free-tibet" friend from a few years back wasn't alone after all.
