Free Tibet!

[muy_thaiguy]

As an aside... I work with Chinese and Tiawanese people. Most chinese people consider Tibet to belong to China... i.e. in prior times Tibet was part of China... then it was seperate... then part again... then seperate. How far back do you go to decide if it was part of China or not???

You know that time where most of the western world decided that invading countries and claiming them as your own was bad? That guy with that little moustache?


Yeah, China decided that conquering wasn't that bad at all.

So like... I honestly don't really care much for China... but the point is that NO ONE HERE is looking at their side.

Comparing Mao to Hitler... ok... there is some similarities I am sure.

I think though China taking Tibet is not like how Hitlet invade Western Europe or Russia. It's more comparable to how Hitler took Romania (i.e where he was born). Romania had been part of "Germany"... and when Hitler took Romania... nobody squaked too loudly.

Had hitler stopped at Romania and never invade Poland.... there would have been no WWII.

Mao did stop at Tibet.

I thought a few battles and nearly a war was started between India and China? Guess that's just me though.

The main reason I support Tibet is because I hate China.

Absolutely, positively the best answer I have fucking heard on this subject!

I couldn't agree more! China fucked with YouTube and the entire Internet the other day. I live in a free country and deserve to not have YouTube shut down or censored by China! I like freedom of information and ideas. China can go sit on a fucking egg! FREE TIBET!

Gip... it was India that fucked with YouTube... not China.

I voted no.

It's none of our business... aren't we mired deep enough in the Middle East to go start messing around with Asia. Aside from the fact that China is a nuclear power with a population of 1.2 Billion.

If it was India that buggered the website, why is China getting all the flak?

As for China being to big to handle, that is what India is for; they have better weapons than China and just as many troops. All that has to happen is India getting sick of the border disputes and covertly supporting the unrest. It is probably happening as I type this so there we go.

... Yeah, most of the ancient world was once part of China. Maybe they'll go for Eastern Europe next, as it once belonged to them.

... Sent a news link about the riots to a relative in China... he couldn't open it.

...

.... The Mongols however were NOT Chinese... they didn't consider themselves Chinese and the Chinese people would never consider them to be Chinese...

... That's where you're wrong. Don't lock yourself with geography. The Chinese were not Mongols, but over time the Mongols became very Chinese... (and it's commonly held by scholars that this was the cause for their eventual decline).

their gonna lose the right to have the olympics and are gonna get nuked

goooooooooooooo tibet do it the way the usa did!!!

[jimboston]

Romania? Don't you mean Austria?

Yes... you are absolutely correct.

I had a big brain fart there.

All I can say is that it was late and I was tired.

[jimboston]

their gonna lose the right to have the olympics

There is absolutely NO WAY the Olympic Committee will pull out of China. Ain't happening.

I doubt any country will boycott... though that is a possibility. I doubt any major country will boycott. Not unless something major happens prior to the Olympics.

Individual althletes have boycotted and will continue to do so. However I think most will boycott because of air-quality issues... and not for humanitarian reasons.

Also you mean "they are" or "they're".... not "their".

... and are gonna get nuked

goooooooooooooo tibet do it the way the usa did!!!

What does this mean?

Isn't this supposed to be "intelligent conversation"????

I guess you missed that part.

Yes... some Mongols were integrated into China.

However... since the Mongol people were spread out across Asia and into Europe the people integrated into many cultures... Russia, Eastern Europe, etc.

The point was that China NEVER invaded Europe.

Also... Mongols were NOT Chinese. Just because some Mongol people integrated into China does not change the fact that the Mongol people were nto Chinese. Certainly not at the time that the Mongols invaded Europe.

I am quite curious to know when this youtube "ban" in India took place. And as for warring China, not gonna happen.
