Ok, my fault. Anyway, I am just trying to provide the viewpoints from somebody independent of both sides.
Apparently, you can still buy human skin and bone folk art and religious items in Tibet. So if the Dali Lama is being kept away and out of power to avoid the continuation of this practice, then China is not doing a very good job. One example There are several other accounts and items out there if you want more proof.
That seems to be a problem here. Any independent thought away from the kumbaya-Tibet fantasy is considered PRC brainwashing or more sneaky Chinese propoganda. Heck most of those articles you posted were written by white people.
hey real_egal........my apologies again for a few weeks back.....it was langal i had gotten you confused with....
wow, I'm really impressed with your digging skills. But, what are you trying to prove and what's the relevance? China still allow legal skinning? Is this website Chinese? Did he obtain the object legally? What was the process the object was actually made and when? Maybe, when if China crack down things like this in monasteries you guys can cry religious oppression again. Anyway, keep slinging mud, see if any sticks. And thanks for the link, I can always learn something new.
"When We build our industries, You called us Polluters. When we sell u goods, You blame us for global warming. When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide. When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation. When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us. When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights. When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech. When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed."
No harm done. Don't worry. I was referring to someone else, who used a story from Internet, 20 years ago, to justify his claim that it's a known fact that all Chinese are racists against blacks.
Discrimination against black people was still at an abhorrent level in my lifetime. The effects still linger today. The Bush administration in it's war on terror has limited the individual freedom and privacy that Americans have enjoyed since the Warren Court. So I would hardly argue that conditions in the US are the best they can be. But, we can speak about it, we can assemble to protest, we can express point of view in a fee press and we can vote our conscience within the limits of party politics; I mean a secular, libertarian, Green party candidate or ultra-leftist isn't going to get elected dogcatcher in America We are sort of f**ked up but there are few organized governments on Earth that are better, maybe Switzerland, Norway or Iceland but thats about it. Young people should be rebellious! It's a shame to waste your youth on conformity. You need to try and change things before you get too dependent on the system, you need to speak up when you don't have anything to lose. Don't trust anyone over 30, they just want to take advantage of you. Have some individuality or just be one of the billion other worker bees...work hard, supply the Queen, and die. I know I'm subversive, I want people to be free and happy. I don't even know what you guys are trying to convince the Americans of: kow towing to an imposed sense of order is good? Modernized fuedalism is progress? It's 1984 in China, man. Wake the f**k up! You are being used.
I'd say it's because they can think so that's why they hold a different opinion than yours. Theya er speaking up to express themselves. Those who use insults and call other people names in order to stop them from expressing themselves are the one who try to force other people into conformity .
basically that is the crux of the matter. seems like a lot of "real" Americans get the panties in a bunch when non-whites disagree with them. they start throwing the "brainwashed", borg, chinaman argument around..
Nobody would throw out the term "brainwashed" if you didn't hear the same unyielding absolute claims OVER AND OVER again, carped straight from official CCP party dogma. It's incredible really.
Did China ban pictures of Richard Gere? I'm slamming WNBA with them and I guess he can't see them. I guess the Beastie Boys aren't popular in China either.
There are also a few of you who say "the same unyielding absolute claims over and over again", straight from some party line. I find that incredible too.
i doubt it. i'm going to try to search online when i get there in a couple of month. even if i can, i bet people hate them, especially richard gere. he has a very bad reputation in oversea chinese. as for beastie boys, their music sucks first of all. chinese people don't listen to that kind of music.
in your dreams dude. i totally owned you on that, it not my fault you are ignorant to know about pop culture like Richard Gere and great Kung Fu Movies like "five elemental ninjas" aka Chinese Super Ninjas NBA > WNBA
