[banzaidawan]

Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) = Slaves for a Feudal Theocracy

[vladkeren44]

OOH! You're really clever.

Effective political debate? Meh, that's crap. Let's change organizations' acronyms! That's much more intellectual buddy.

[sunynec]

Absolutely, and she is a junk canadian, and from a junk university. those people are not "students" but "junk", changing their name to "junk Feudal Theocracy"

[ardordong]

Dalai Lama said, China is damaging the Tibtean Culture.

Proof, Look! What has China done to the Tibtean Culture!---Protect Tibtean Culture!

[amdo2008dragon]

if tibet participate in olympics they r scared that tibet will win all the gold leaving only silver for china hahahahaahahahahah

[czchlong]

lol...olympics are finished now and um..Dalai retard-lama fails. ^^

[BALANCE94015]

what would really be funny and inspirational to see, is what if a TIBETAN and/or a TIBETAN sponsored athlete wins a GOLD MEDAL in china's 2008 OLYMPICS!!!!

[versaceonly08]

its good that atleast u have researched before criticising but ur claims are stained with cynicism..those of his family and relatives has worked tirelessly for tibet and come there with their sacrifice..by what they know, not who they know.they deserve it..second, he tried vegetarian meal for a year if u dont know..and tell me what would u do if you have been at his position??

[lc36163]

Ask the Dalai why he is practicing nepotism; he's entire family holds high offices and has control over the coffers of the "Free" Tibet movement.

Also ask him why he's not a vegetarian, and don't tell me because he said it's because of his hepatitis.

[lc36163]

During high profile interviews on Larry King Live the Dalai Lama smiles benevolently, flatly denies being an agent provocateur for Tibetan independence, and "magnanimously forgives" Beijing for all the bad things they did to "his people" (serf-owing aristocrats who exploited the Tibet region's 90 plus % majority of serfs.)

Meanwhile his willing proxies promote a relentlessly Mannichean "Good versus Evil" (and decidedly un-Buddhist) demonization of Beijing, with his official blessing.

[Powa2]

What the White Europeans did to the Americas are 100% worse than what China did to Tibet, this is hypocrisy, why isnt anybody protesting America?

[benchin1014]

Thank Q

[benchin1014]

I dont think so because YOUtube is registered in the US. If your postings been deleted, try post comment on free hawaii...you cant even post because it shows "comment pending approval" from the Us government!! there is no real freedom of speech in the US, except those speeches in favour of US foreign policies. In fact, after the fall of USSR, the US has gradually changed that no longer represent democracy or liberty anymore....why?? coz thye dont need these tools to confront the Soviets.

[banzaidawan]

Bruce: Correct. The Beijing Olympics ticket website got over 8,000,000 hits in one hour, so it crashed. If these people line up to get the tickets, the queue will encircle Beijing city 10 times.

[zielonybazyliszek]

Folks, beware of BANZAIDAWAN - he is a Chinese communist agent paid by the Chinese government to scour You Tube and seek (as he said in one of his comments) anti Chinese hypocrites... He slanders Tibetans and spread communist lies, also attack everyone who exposes the true face of China gov.

[Yu1Yam]

It's a shame that all the Americans could do was to return one Congressional Gold Medal to the visiting Dalai Lama from the dozens of gold medals the U.S. athletes will win in the Beijing Olympics.

[nyingjey]

To Luck7Ducky,

Okay, thank you for being lead spokesperson for the "Free Everyone" campaign. Now, what do you find is your first order of concern?

[myASIMO]

*ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TIBET-by China for over half a century. Tibet belong to Tibet and Tibetan. Free Tibet. Justice for Tibet. Boycott 'Made in China'!!!!

[naranja18she]

Boycott 'made in China'? As much as I'm a pro Tibetan freedom, I don't think that's possible.. -0-;;

[Lucky7Ducky]

Look at all those hypocrites... So why not ask India to free Southern Tibet and Kashmir? Pakistan, why not Free Kashmir! Why not free Hawaii! Free America and give it all back to the Native Americans. Free Maya in Central America! Free Autralia and give it all back to the Australian Aborigines!

Free everyone!

[kungayeshe1]

Okay, thank you for being lead spokesperson for the "Free Everyone" campaign. Now, what do find is your first order of concern?

[CaptainCool07]

Hey guys please check out some PLA vids

[myASIMO]

China has *ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TIBET* for over half a century. "The Tibetan cultural and spiritual heritage is thretened with extinction."-European Parliament Resolution on Tibet,2000. Beijing has just stifled all hopes of reform by declaring in China Daily that it plans "to crush separatist activities" in Tibet. Please support Free Tibet. BOYCOTT 2008 GAMES! BOYCOTT MADE IN CHINA! untill Tibet is free

[Lucky7Ducky]

Seems like you don't know the history of Tibet. Learn it!

[myASIMO]

BruceLeeKickYoAss: It's sort of pointless and pathetic to agree with Robindoodx who's account is closed. I just wonder...are you being paid or rewarded in someway to push all your inept and inane propaganda B.S ? Have you ever heard of 'Public Relation'? You have very peculiar way of doing so. Isn't your purpose is to win the public sentiment on YT for CCP instead of other-where around? But I wish you best of lack on your hopeless effort.

[myASIMO]

Brain drained in China ever since culture revolutions. What a tragedy.

[robindoodx]

Thanks for THE MEMBER OF SFT : IT DEDICATION AND DEVOTION TOWARDS OUR NATIONAL CAUSE AND WE ALL ARE BEHIND YOU :KEEP UP ++*;-)---------

[Bluerayblue]

I say we free Tibet and then give back Hawaii to the Howe. Hawaii was annex by America because America was all too powerful and we have bigger guns. They have what, spears and coconuts? Lol. I say we boycot China for Tibet and then return Hawaii to the rightful native people of Hawaii.

If the Chinks don't return Tibet, we nuke them and take their land.

[doltsiring]

You guys are AWESOME!! FREE TIBET!

[savagekei05]

That white guy probably likes Tibet sex

[SGSTL]

Western Activist and Media for Tibet Independence, once again nice show job well done. Stir up Tibet independence with more encouragement with more 'TRUTH'; make China look evil, enjoy the hates and conflicts between Chinese and Tibetan that arise.

Complete the job that CIA somehow failed!!!

[blindfire249]

The US is a hippocrite if we support freeing tibet if tibet is free we should give california, arizonia, NEW MEXICO, and texas back to Mexico, Hawaii back to the original rulers (I'm sure their still around), and Lousinana and most of the area around the missippi to France, the other parts of the U.S. can go to the Native Americans, and what hell why don't we sell ourselves into slavery to the blacks to square us even.

[myASIMO]

FREE TIBET and Tibetans from brutality of Chinese regime. Please protest killing of Tibetans. Please support Tibet and Tibetan's human rights. FREE TIBET. TIBET WILL BE FREE!

[naranja18she]

[theomorph]

so mr./ms. banzaidawan, although your mentioning of "quebec independence", although FUNDAMENTALLY inapplicable to either the inuit situation or the plight of tibet, it was not completely useless! if the PRC were to adopt a political system (like say, democracy... just a suggestion) which offered its peoples a fair and just legal structure, where the representation of political lobby could occur within a framework which also respected basic human rights, i think that would be great!

[banzaidawan]

Theomorph: Thanks for taking the time to explain yourself. You can clearly see the results of implementing "Democracy Through a Gun Barrel" in Iraq today.

[theomorph]

there are a number of structural differences between the phenomena of the "mouvement souverainiste du québec" (msq) and the plight of tibet which make a comparison, AT ITS BASE irrelevant. let us concentrate on certain aspects of the msq (which subsumes the actions of the parti quebecois', "pq",actions within its conceptual framework).

[theomorph]

the msq is a political impulse which coalesced around the 1960s, long after the political formation of canada was complete. québec and ontario actually formed the core of old canada, being referred to as lower- and upper canada. it wasn't stolen through military force from some group called the québecois already residing with sovereignty in a region called québec or taken from an indigenous people as was the case with the inuit.

[theomorph]

the msq HAS REPRESENTATION -- elected officials! -- within the canadian government. that is, the movement, started "within" the existing government and the canadian government offers the political framework of a democratic government in which to table the msq lobby.

[theomorph]

now we get to the point i mentioned in my earlier post about asking the affected group if they really want it. in the case of the inuit, they had a clear unity of support when it came to their political goals. you could say nearly all of them were of only a few very similar political opinions. and within the framework of a democratic and fair legal system it was possible for them to achieve those goals.

[theomorph]

on the other hand, the msq/pq does not represent the opinion of a clear majority of the affected peoples - the residents of the province of québec. at one point it peaked at 40% of voting québec residents. furthermore, the msq/pq itself is far less unified amongst themselves as to what exactly their politcal platform is. for example, the classical scenario of a full and complete independence from canada has not been a current goal of the msq for a long time now.

[theomorph]

modern versions include a sovereign québec with continuing economic integration with canada, continuing use of the canadian dollar and even of the military - by their own choice. in fact, an initiative called the "saison des idées" had to be called by the pq in 2003 just to find out what the current opinions on the "sovereignty project" are amongst québecers.

[theomorph]

so this is not currently an example of a politcally unified group representing a majority of the affected people of the geographical region in question. this critique is brought to bear by the pq's own members. on the other hand, i don't think any canadian would believe that IF the pq were politically unified AND they won a majority vote supporting their separatist agenda, that this would not occur. it would HAVE to according to due process.

[theomorph]

despite whether a canadian is for or against separation, i don't think it escapes anyone what an amazing symbol of freedom it is that a government itself allows a party to sit in parliament whose very goal it is to "split" the country. it is an TRUE acknoweldgement of „the will of the people" as opposed to the non-functioning, purely theoretical one of, say, communism.

[theomorph]

so mr./ms. banzaidawan, although your mentioning of "quebec indepencence", although FUNDAMENTALLY inapplicable to either the inuit situation or the plight of tibet, it was not completely useless! if the PRC were to adopt a political system (like say, democracy... just a suggestion) which offered its peoples a fair and just legal structure, where the representation of political lobby could occur within a framework which also respected basic human rights, i think that would be great!

[theomorph]

taking the impulse of your mentioning québec independence furthur, then it follows that the PRC (assuming the PRC is beyond seeing tibet as a sovereign nation, but as part of the itself) might allow the founding of a legally accepted party within its government whose political goal it is to separate tibet from the PRC, as canada allows the pq to do, such that when a referendum held within that region results in a majority wishing separation, by legal due couse, this must occur!

[theomorph]

(those allowed to vote would, of course, by definition INCLUDE all tibetans in exile which the PRC considers chinese anyways.)

[theomorph]

it's just a scenario, but thanks for your initiating it with your implied comparison of tibet and québec! so how about it? democracy in the PRC? multiparty structure? i mean, c'mon, who really does or wants the one-party thing anymore anyways? strangely enough, i foresee precisely the people benefitting from the PRC's current economic strength as the ones who WON'T want it in the future and who will be the ones who ultimately demand a multiparty system. change from the top, end of the CP. ahhh!

[theomorph]

so thank you mr./ms. banzaidawan for being the source of such polemical comments inspiring all to intensified investigations of thought. just as an exercise, i can say i can learn from the laconic way you express yourself. in this sense i certainly have a long way to go.

[theomorph]

to everybody: are mr./ms. banzaidawan's actions/comments a cause for eventual freedom in tibet? mushi musum me be chö!*CLAP*

[theomorph]

yingsel! DZA! DZA! DZA! all power to you! it's exactly what's needed to help a wider range of people "take the free tibet movement seriously" as anyone versed in advanced advertising theory and experienced in political lobbying would agree! keep up the good work but watch your back!

[banzaidawan]

Theomorph: It may come as a surprise to you that the 900 Million people who live in China's towns and rural areas vote for their local representatives. In a way, you could say China is the world's 2nd largest democracy, behind India.

How many people actually vote in the U.S. today? About 1/3 of registered voters?

[guchogu]

but people also live in cities, and they don't vote for anything. if you say it is a democracy, ok, it is, but with raw liberties, and tons of human rights violations.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: Patience. It's coming to the cities too in China, but slowly. With the growing awareness and demand for "rule by law" in China, you'd expect those human rights violations to wane in the future. Just remember, China is a developing country, give it time to change for the better.

[guchogu]

I don't think Tibet and Uyghuristan have enough time. Culture and tradition is being deleted. People is forbbiden from freely express their beliefs, they're being forced to learn another language as their native language, they're impossed and ruled by people they don't vote for. Tradition was already almost vanished after the cultural revolution in the han population, and the money thirsty people of today is its fruit, of the capitalism China supposedly hates. Etcetera.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: Have you been to Tibet and Xinjiang in China? I have. Culture and tradition being deleted? I doubt it.  The American Indians, are they learning English in School? The indigenous people in your country, are they learning Spanish?

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: As for traditional Chinese culture among Han people, that's alive and well in those medium and small cities, towns, and rural parts of China. Luckily, that's 70 % of China's population.

You are definitely right about one thing -- China is definitely CAPITALIST today.

[guchogu]

That's also where people works as slaves and get paid practically nothing, where people get infected blood transfers, etc. Maybe they are returning to Confucianism and Buddhism, but in Beijing, most Buddhist temples are tourist atractions, while there's plenty of christian churches.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: 60 % of those "sweatshops" in China are foreign-owned. Alot of them are closing down now, as they can't find workers in China with the kind of pay they offer. If you got a problem with these evil CAPITALISTS, please protest at their corporate headquarters back home in the West.

There was a problem with the tainted blood transfers in China 10 years ago, but think they learned their lesson there.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut were caught earlier this year paying their temporary staff in China 1/2 of the official minimum wage in China.

[guchogu]

So, I don't support any of those. I don't buy KFC, Pizza Hut nor McDonalds, I don't buy anything Made in China (not only because that way I'd support the sweatshops, but also because of the bad quality). I'd protest at their headquarters. Am I protesting again China? I'm just commenting and criticizing.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: Many of those foreign-owned sweatshops will gradually close down due the blue collar labor shortage in China today. Also, 2/3 of the JUNK exported from China are produced by foreign owned factories. So, if they don't practice quality-control....

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: If you look at the BIGGER PICTURE, continue to buy "Made In China" (despite all the problems), as it will lead to economic progress in China on the long-term.

[guchogu]

As I see, people in Beijing and Shanghai are those getting the benefits. Han people. And there's plenty of them. I prefer to help those who don't get as much help.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: Several of the charities in the West help poor people in China's western interior. Oxfam is now doing a charity / ecology project in Gansu in the Northwest, helping Hui villagers. Check it out.

[banzaidawan]

Guchogu: You are correct that people are Over-Capitalistic in China today, in their rush to improve themselves economically. This is why many city folks are returning to traditional Confucianism and Buddhism today.

[guchogu]

People can't adore the Dalai Lama in Tibet. You can't express yourself freely about "sensitive topics". They don't get to choose their governors. What about Gedhun Choekyi Nyima? What about Rebiya Kadeer? What about the Nangpa La shootings?

[naranja18she]

China is a one party system. It's like choosing one thing out of one thing... Very democratic

[banzaidawan]

If these European-American kids devote more time to ending RACISM in their own country, the world will be a better place today.

[banzaidawan]

How about giving Manhattan back to the Indians?

[theomorph]

you mean like canada gave back 3/4 of the northwest territories to the inuit for autonomous rule (an area the half the size of europe now called nunavut)? it'd be a START. a smart man would, of course, ask the NATIVE AMERICANS if they want it back, first. they may be satisfied buying up american institutions like THE HARD ROCK CAFÉ.

[banzaidawan]

Speaking of Canada, how's that Quebec Independence coming along? On and off again?
