freedom of speech
first amendment of the us constitution.
as much as we love being the world police and as much as china runs its country like nazi's its out law, and not theirs.

I would love to see china revolt and turn over their oppressive "think for you government" but I'm enjoying my mcdonald's in a gas guzzling car where I am.

and if they do indeed overturn their government...
Ill watch it all go down on youtube.

Yeah, the Dali Lama spent some time at "the Farm" as an fierce Tibetian fighter monk instructor.

His other objective is to brainwash the US into wearing orange.

Very few countries do, least the USA. We scream human rights at our convenience. We have destroyed more democracies around the world than any organization in history. Culture killing is second nature to us. We turn away and let our CIA continue their work. We violate our own domestic and foreign accords to protect the wants of our wealthy.
There is no greater stigma than being an American after 9/11.

To quote Hermann Göring some 60 odd years ago:

We don't run our country like the Nazis.

You see what I did there? A play out of your book. This is fun, let's try another one.

We didn't scape-goat (is even a legitimate verb in the English language?) Saddam.


Our legal system hasn't halted our economy.

Okay, okay, that's enough, I like playing my way a little better.

We have first amendment rights. If you disagree, you should contact the ACLU - they'd be happy to hear from you since they gotta work to make their living just like the rest of us.

Our legal system has protected this country and allowed it to prosper and brought us to a point where human rights are respected and protected.

The stuff about the economy is really beside the point.

we run our country like Nazi's

stripped away freedoms from our citizens

If you actually think all americans have first amendment rights, you are fooling yourself.

The Dalia Lama is on the CIA payroll and he was basically a slave lord before China reformed Tibet.

we are actually supporting an evil system

China can really care less what we think because we're full of it. They own the means of production and a large portion of our country.

There you have it folks, voice of the modern American Liberal.

America is a Nazi like state, with very limited freedom of speech, we've been stripped of our rights, China is actually helping Tibet and stupid Americans are being decived into thinking otherwise, and China owns us (someone better let the Canadians know, since they own far more US assets than the Chinese, who are not even in the top 10.).

Please, instead of opening your mouth and confirming your idiocy, why not just say 'I hate America, it's the source of all evil in the world', since only a sentiment like that could enable anyone with even a hint of intellectual honesty to twist the facts to the degree that you have.

You are entitled to your own 'point of view' but not to your own facts.

It appears you decided to eliminate any lingering doubts about your idocy that may have remained from your previous post.

Please highlight the facts that you find questionable. I have yet to see you supply your counterpoints. You've just provided your view on my point of view and misaligned explanations for everything I said.

My views are views of a conservative and not of a liberal as you so claim.
I'm not endorcing government programs to help the poor. I'm against the US being world police. I'm not endorsing complete and total individual liberty. I'm protesting neoconservatism/neoliberalism and its role in shaping modern America. I don't think these changes are healthy for anyone.

China is helping Tibet by free serfs from oppression that once existed under the rule of monasteries. They levied taxes against the ruling class in Tibet some who opposed with force. China then went ahead with land reform for the poor which forced the Dalai Lama to flee (the serfs would have probably kill him if he stayed). I don't see that as a human rights issue at all. If you bring violence and chaos to others, you deserve violence.

With respect to laws: When laws can be created or approve by those who make a living off its practice, it WILL become a burden to the rest of society. This country desperately needs legal reform but does not have the means to do so anymore.

Well gosh, when a lot of people are dying I don't exactly think the Tibetans care if China is trying to help or not.

I'll highlight the facts for the guy you responded to (since I deal mainly with the idiots on this site):
-Lots of tibetans are dying
-China needed to send in its military
-You wouldn't want to visit tibet right now
-China needed to send in its military
-China has been actively trying to destroy Tibetan culture
-China needed to send in its military

And we ought to shoot you for endorsing a communist takeover of an independent nation.

I think this situation is a sharp contrast to what happened in Taiwan. With Taiwan, the culture that essentially migrated there after communist takeover of China was able to stop the Chinese. They received military aid to prevent China from invading.

I'm sure if Tibet had a good benefactor willing to help those people (tibetans), they'd be Taiwan 2.0. Do you think that's a bad thing? Shall we ship you off to Tibet?

Thank you Joseph Goebbels.
