I'm sick of people supporting the "Free Tibet" act. It is nothing more than a sham.

The region just can't stand being controlled--that's fucking immature.

Protesting that it should be freed is only saying that it's alright/ awwright for everyone to get away with being independent for the sake of being independent.

Why are so many protecting it? I don't give a fuck that they're Bhuddist and that China won't rule them the same way; they're trying to complain and complain and complain until they get their way, and it's time for people to just stop listening.

Um... As I recall, they were "annexed" or something. And if you admit China will be harsh to them, that could, in fact, be fit into the UN definition of genocide, without too much work.

Especially with the clause about destruction of an ethnic identity. Contrary to popular belief, you can commit genocide without ever killing anyone.

Well, that was a fun thread.
Monks secretly play basketball up in the mountain towns, a site where the Dalai Lama hangs out - permanently.


FACT!

Are you fucking serious
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_sovereignty_debate

In any case, a country's autonomy is regarded as protect-worthy by international players. Everyone is just afraid of PRC because of its size.

That, and that all manufacturing companies are there.

Also, nobody gives a dammn about sovereignty of nations. All it does is to make your ratings on that TV debate go up.

Now, let's get some cake, shall we?

Tibet is a theocracy. The ruling body is their spiritual leadership. China, being a Communist nation, forbids religion. As far as the people of Tibet are concerned, it's not just a matter of who they're paying their taxes to-- they are fighting for the condition of their souls. So no, it's not just a bunch of whining and complaining over trivial matters.

Actually, I don't recall China forbidding traditional Chinese beliefs... might be wrong there, but...

I'm pretty much sure that Mao believed that religion was inherently evil.

Even so, I'm not sure if they could ban Chinese believes completely. We are looking at the most populous area on the planet. And well, there may be some sort of pride in them, simply because they're Chinese...

And Tibet's not only smaller, but got annexed, by a country with government who dislikes religion and people who had a different ones anyway, so either way, they're screwed.

Isn't imperialism awesome?

Communism necessarily forbids religion, as its superstitious nature is viewed as an encumbrance to a Communistic system. While there are a few "flavors" of Communism that specifically embrace religion (such as Cristian Communism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Communism)), China exercises Maoism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoism), which is an off-shoot of Marxism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism), and not a religious form. When the Communist revolution came to China, many places of worship were converted to secular purposes, and the rest were destroyed. Religion is reluctantly tolerated now, but that's really not saying much.

I was mostly thinking the ancestor worship stuff, but I'm not horribly well-informed on China.

I am aware of the usual communistic enforced atheism, though. Its rather silly, imo.

Making sure serious topic stays in FKL and Rasputin doesn't get the rare - moved out of FKL, eh?

I counter with the Uighur protests and unrest, AP reports, Yes - China blamed it on the Dalai Lama, who was nowhere near the events that occurred.

But in spam respects, every report made sure to enunciate the Uighur part as [WEE-gur]
Insert those one guys demotiv despair poster here as necessary, you know the one (because I forgot their actual crew name).
