Please Responsible for What YOU're WritingMar 21st, 2008 - 13:58:08

Writer Please be professional, and investigate the truth before posting such a misleading news. Do you know, how many police cars burned during the riot? do you know, how many people in monk tubes are the true monks? Do you know, the riot not a simple demostration, but a sabotage to the social stabibility of not only Chinese people, but also innocent local Tibetan people. I tell you the truth, the 13 deaths include the innocent local Tibetan residents as well. The rioters are so crazy as to beat people, cut residents' body, burn the gasoline... these horrible acts are so brutal, no one could believe. Thus, WRITER, before you post anything, think it over and investigate it well. This is nothing, but responsible for the truth and your job.

Certianly the violence should be stopped and it is unfortunate that Tibetan frustration has led to such outbursts.

But let's not feign outrage here. The peoples republic has murdered or starved around 40 million of its own people since taking power.

Can you fathom that number?

How many protesting students were killed in 1989?

The Chinese government is absolutely ruthless and has committed deliberate murder of truly epic proportions. We are talking about your government - right?

Let Tibet go free. I heard they are lazy anyway.

I am just amazed that this site for more than a week has put Free Tibet stories as its main headline. You people really don't care about the economy, the iraq war, the violence in isreal, the violence in kenya, the renewal violence in sudan... Just Tibet Hah. Sure, I am currently taking note of your sponsors. Since this site is probably well founded by various agencies and the free teabag groups, it should not hurt very much if i send the list of your sponsor to some of the popular chinese forums and messageboard, sina, 163, baidu, ifeng. just to name some. Currently, this list is not complete. I have taken notice of Armani exchange, LG, and some minor brand... This is not a threat. Don't bother even try to debate me. I urge you to do the same.

Did I understand you correctly Tong,are you blackmailing this site into submission ?You threaten to use the same methods the US evangelicals have used against dissenting points of view;put pressure on the advertisers in the media that you deem hostile to your own and only point of view.
