'Tibet' Richard Gere criticizing Chinese gov. on 2008.03.14

[Buddhistboy97]

God bless the brave monks and nuns who immolated them selves, Om Mani Padme Hu, and FREE TIBET!

[jia2001]

Tibet was part of China since the Qing Dynasty in early 1600 century

1950 was that the Chinese taking back their territories

[dorje168]

FREE TIBET!!!

Free kirti Gompa in Tibet

[Tuesday, 19 April 2011, 2:45 p.m.]

The restrictions still remain in force as Chinese authorities have stepped up draconian re-education campaign at Kirti Monastery since 15 April

FREE TIBET!!!

Free kirti Gompa in Tibet

[longlivehhdl888]

The Tibet Religious Foundation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama based in Taipei yesterday organised a prayer service for the well-being of the Tibetans enduring hardships under the ongoing repression at Kirti Monastery in Ngaba in the northeastern Tibet's Amdo province. The prayer service was held in the prayer hall of Tibet Religious Foundation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Free the Monks of Kirti Gompa.

[jimgzorn]

I wonder if Richard Gere even knows that Tibet under the past Dalai lamas was among the most brutal, backward places in the world up to the 1950s. The lamas were slave owners and the Tibetan people were the slaves. Read Michael Parenti's Friendly Feudalism website to know more. This is generally the view of American university professors in Tibetan studies today, although it contradicts mainstream western propaganda.

[HumanRightsVideosT]

@jimgzorn

As you are concerned about old human rights you should learn about MODERN Tibet. Please watch

*

Torture In Tibet: A Buddhist Nun Tells Her Story (3:05 minutes)

watch?v=mhrgb1PHodU

and learn about modern tibet

[HumanRightsVideosT]

You and Parenti don't seem to realise there has been a Cultural GENOCIDE in Tibet. But I guess you are repeating Parenti's poorly informed views.

If there are other professors in the US with similar views to Parenti it doesn't say much about the state of academia in the US

[twenlil]

@HumanRightsVideosT

Of course there will be cultural genocide if the previous culture is based on serfdom, slavery and religious claptrap.

[HumanRightsVideosT]

@twenlil

If Tibetans were serfs or slaves before the invasion began

.

they wouldn't keep rising up against the hostile invaders.

[Tenzinpelha]

just nuke china already. 

[wcq5748900]

those "chinese cops" rendered in this vedio suppressing that so-called protests are obviously arabics or indians. Thus it is absurd and irresponsible to demonstrate to any extent chinese brutal suppress via any of those ridiculous and unntanable, forged evidence. Please, CNN and Gere plz present some well-polished counterfeiting evidence.

[lukebccb]

TOOL gere: BE THANKFUL that the CCP IS in power as YOUR wish of "democratic China" = FREE TIBET *WILL* bring YOU "unforeseen consequences" NAIVE TOOL gere!

Think about this NAIVE TOOL gere: YOU NAIVE gere have ANY clue what W-I-L-L happen WHEN commie "chinky" government is replaced with "democratic" POLITICAL PARTIES THAT *HAVE*. TO. *PANDER*. TO. NATIONALISTS. 92% OF HAN CHINESE?

For some reason I doubt YOU have a clue what I'm getting at TOOL NAIVE gere.....

[lukebccb]

FOR THE STUPID: FACT = 50 years AGO 90++% of Tibetan people = SERFS.

Contemporary argument = Tibet = "free from chink 'oppression' = 90++% = "free tibet".OR ACCORDING TO THE geres tibet FREE WITHOUT chink 'oppression' is "FREE" AND MONASTICS ARE 'FREE' !!!!......... BUT NO SPEAK OF THE FACT THAT 90+++% OF TIBETAN PEOPLE = SERFS.

Let's say we ask the FORMER SERF Tibetans huh?

last words: dickie gere IS the TOOL that gives the ALL the use of the term " pathetic hollywood KNOWNOTHING......

[lukebccb]

Is Gere being sincere? I'd say yes he is.

UNFORTUNATELY let's qualify that with Gere is BEYOND N-A-I-V-E.

TO gere: are YOU "gere" ready to DEBATE about the REALITY of the POLITICAL REALITY of CONTEMPORARY Tibetan reality as opposed to the REALITY of Tibetan reality 60+ years ago?

IF SO gere: are YOU prepared to FULLY back up your "free tibet" standing with FULL FACTS of "free tibet" eh gere........ especially WITH THE REALITY OF WHAT ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL REALITY IS gere?

[swordofpakistan]

Free Tibet,Boycott China ,boycott totalitarian states,boycott products made using slavery or accept your own moral an ethical bankruptcy.

[namassu]

one mistake dont justify another one

if american and europeans did some horrible mistakes, chinese people couldnt do better doing the right thing?

[wang4eba]

May be Native Indian needs to be free and become an independent country. Why doesn't he work on that? Tibet is far from where he lives. Richard, you need to take care those American Indian first. Setting them as an independent country.

[shinikita]

Richard Quere, stop molesting tibetan monks by getting them to shoving hampster up your ass. You'll never be a tibet scholar, your acting isn't that great.

[mssv19123]

What does the Nobel Peace Prize stand for if a psycho like g w bush gets nominated for one?

[avatarion]

why is it fashionable to talk against chinese occupation of tibet, but if you talk about muslim occupation of europe you're racist nazi? asia for asians, middle east for arabs, europe for everyone.... what's wrong here?

[tangshentong]

wrong video with poor comments

[sungl0]

what do you know??? have you seen the conditions of area in hands of privileged pampered monks??

Have you been to scotland, N Ireland, australia, NZ, Americas to pry open rulers' grip on the occupied land ??.

This is the REAL WORLD. You are the ignorant American Idiot.

SELECTIVE Knocker!!! YOU ARE calling for THE FATE OF PEOPLE b AT MERCY OF THOSE pampered privilged MONKs . Its politics! BLIND FOOL USED by the Orange robeD hypocrites

[donyodrnm]

What do you know? You sounds like a CCP dog! Sung? 孫子？Yeah! You ARE a 孫子of CCP. Be patient, CCP's time will be over soon, very soon!

[sungl0]

the bottom is politics. people unhappy/ being backward and ? or in 4th world - not even third world! But PAMPERED MONKS LIVED WELL......

You all jump on "glamorous" band wagon of knocking communist China cos its speed of prosperity growth after opening up and reformed towards capitalism market.

DO YOU TRULY CARE WHAT LIFE IS LIKE BEFORE???

Well the Men in Orange got NO idea how to feed and care for the people ..... Frankly speaking they don't care. They just want to be in-charge.

[Maersk1668]

I really wonder if Da Lie Lama bent over for Richard Gere. He seems to be ignoring his pet gerbil constant whining and focus his love on his lover boy Dalying Lama. By the way, it is a mystery to me that a self-proclaimed reincarnated parasitic monk could get a Nobel Prize. What has he done to improve the ordinary Tibetans living in Tibet province, China?

[donyodrnm]

No need to Wonder, 孫子! Richard Gere is a human being, that's why he love Dalai Lama! Cheap animals like you who always lick CCP's ass hate Dalai Lama!

[birdwatcher00]

>>"No, the world is not angry at China, "

um, yes, the world IS angy at China - appalled even - do you even GET any news that isn't censored by the Chinese government?

[saint666]

the world as in nato?  if you count people in the middle east, africa and south america then the world doesn't hate China. They probable don't even care what happens to tibet. And do you even notice how much propaganda and bias is filled in your (american)news? if you don't that means your government has done a very good job at disguising it or you are just dull as a brick.

[ConjugateGradient]

So richard queer is taking a break from sucking some dalai cock to come on cnn.

[donyodrnm]

Hi Cheap Animal Conjugate cook! You are really cheap indeed!

[dgc325]

criticize china and use footage of indian soldiers...what???

[scheung07]

the chinese freed tibet from the british empire!!!

[gotbowen]

well, dream on. keep hating us . cuz its okay. we r the world power. ur economy is depending on us. so .......

[deliciousmorton]

I can't understand why people want Tibet to return to feudal theocracy.

[SPAG22]

Because they suffer from this strange delusion that Tibet was a Utopian paradise headed by a wonderful leader.

[sungl0]

Amen! those hippy dope smoking westerns got this delusion that its paradise 'cos while they are waltzing up steep mountains almost weightless, the sheppards are carrying all their weight for pittance- of course life is wonderful for tourists and regulars who have been abusing locals themselves but think they are "contributing" to their livelihood. Where are the Human Rights people?????

[birdwatcher00]

I am sure it's better than being brutalized by the CCP...

[michael101171]

R. Gere talks a lot of ...

[daverock44]

FREE TIBET, TIBET WAS NEVER, IS NEVER & always NEVER WILL BE PART OF CHINA KILLER, REMEMBER THE TRUE STORY!!!! THE FACT IS THE FACT, DEAL WITH THAT, THAT IT!

THE CRIMINAL NAZI Hú Jǐntāo, the Court of History will judge your crimes, IT IS A TIME FOR YOU bastards MAN.

YOUR CRIME FOR HUMANITY IS A TERRIBLE. FREE TIBET

[sonam21]

Mr Gere you right!! Chinese PRC we don't trust you and your explanation, more than 50 years you lying all over the world, still not allowing the media freely into Tibet means you can't face the truth but whole world knows the truth.

You Liar CCP Chinese!

[stonebreakkid]

Those are DEFINITELY not chinese police. Where's the footage filmed??

[yhw111]

Well, Mr. Gere you might as well speak for Talibans in Afganistan becuz they too, are incredibly religious peaceful non-violent people but sadly like Tibetan, they also have to be in the violent situation for the world to notice. Well america, every country has its own enemy and your enemy is not necessary everyones enemy so don't treat your friend like it is everyones friend. How do you like if other countries award Osama bin Laden with Gold Medal. Why not? He is peaceful to other countries.

[633694]

The Dalai Lama didn't crash planes in to the Twin Towers. Now if the Dalai Lama had terrorized China, it would have been a different story. However it was China who attacked and outnumbered Tibet in 1950, that is why the world is angry at China. War is not right but invading without any reasons is not right either. Bin Laden wasn't peaceful to Britain and Spain. He caused destruction there too. That is why he isn't a Gold Medal recipient.

[yhw111]

Fist of all, watch this video:

htt p://ww w.youtube.c om/watch?v=OT9v6u1hhPs

Tell tell me what do u call it when a Chinese boy face was chopped into half by Tibetan rioter - not violence!! Such violent act AGAINST CHINESE IN CHINESE LAND -- imagine what they will do if Chinese are weak and not in power. So don't tell me just because Dalai Lama didn't crash planes into Twin Tower - it makes him a peaceful man. If US don't recognise China's enemy, don't expect same in return!

[birdwatcher00]

Are you kidding? You expect anyone outside of China to believe a propoganda piece like this?

No amount of lies and propoganda can hush the truth. The Tibetans are being massacred and the world knows what China is doing.

China can not control information outside of China. Nice try.

[yhw111]

No, the world is not angry at China, it is the Lamas who is angry because they can't own slaves and lives like kings and masters anymore. 95% of Tibetan civilians were freed by the communist during 1950's. Many had forgotten that because they were inspired by Dalai Lama through their religious beliefs. If there is no religion freedom, then why are there so many monks today. Instead of living like an outcast, shouldn't they be banned and look for a job like everybody else in the world.

[thinktok]

Fuck Geere, who is he?

[thinktok]

Geere, it is people like you who is getting the Tibetans into untold misery. You are doing damage to yourself and the image of westerners.

[ptr012345]

The footage is police action in India or Nepal.

[coongnoo]

"You too" "2 wrong make a right" fallacy not taught in China: "Because rioters kill 5 people, China kill 130 tibetan.

"Chinese  killed 1.200.000 tibetan since 1950 because Tibetan bad acts in 6th century" * "Japanese killed 350,000 Chinese at Nanjing because Chinese bad acts in the 9th Century and Vietnam enslaved 1000 years for China" And later in 2020 "Atomic/Chemical/bio/dirty unabomber will kill 3 billion Chinese because Chinese bad act today, the last evil communist"

[jessechene]

It looks like the Chinese have paid lots of people to obcenely attack this video. Except for a very few positive comments I see a large ignorant organization behind all this Tibet bashing. Nobody believes Tibet is or should be part of China. China is a bully with repressive and brutal actions. They kill innocent people and animals and care about nothing except their own grandizement. China could be a great country but it will require changes.

[80735374]

Richard Gere is just an igorant old man

[jessechene]

Thanks for the really intelligent message.

[timeesprit]

well i dont expect richard gere to understand the china-tibet situation as he managed to offend the entire Indian nation with the shilpa shetty escapade - a small action, but shows how little he understands the world and diff cultures

[virapan]

Mr Gere,do you know that one Presiden Family, always try to crisis, making Civil War country to country,all the time making the Blood money from people's life, so can you let to the whole world know about your country your presiden had taken how many people's life since the OLD & young presiden lead the your country??can you???

[virapan]

Mr Gere,do you know that one Presiden Family, always try to crisis, making Civil War country to country,all the time making the Blood money from people's life, so can you let to the whole world know about your country your presiden had taken how many people's life since the OLD & young presiden lead the your country??can you???

[chaosyi]

this guy is a actor! plus he never personally been to Tibet, how the fuck does he know what's going on in Tibet....How is Tibetan been oppressed?they can travel anywhere they want in china, they receive more benefit and welfare than most of other Chinese ethnic groups, and Chinese government has invested huge amount of money to develop Tibet and the native people....he fucking lies, all twisted lies

[8xster8]

Must be the most embarrassing act of his life.

[ytb9911]

Richard Gere is such a pathetic loser trying to grab some public exposure to save his failing acting career by jumping on this Tibet bandwagon.

[ytb9911]

Why not CNN play the riot clip when this interview is going on? Instead they play clips of demonstrations in India? Tibetans are non-violent? are you kidding me? Who started this whole myth? Serfs got their eyeballs carved out, limbs chopped off routinely for failing to satisfy their masters.

[gleemos]

Richard Gere is an ignoramus. He's one of those pseudo-worldly celebrities who enjoy jumping factlessly into anything that smells of liberalness. And I'm a liberal myself.

Hey, Mr. Asshole Gere, those are NEPALESE police, not Chinese. If Tibetans are so "loving" and "forgiving," then maybe they should stop mutilating ethnic Chinese and Muslim Huis. This movement reeks of racism. This is not a protest of courage. I would hardly call trashing stores courageous.

[lastklim]

NEW DELHI, May 23 (AFP) - Hollywood star and Buddhist Richard Gere defended

India's nuclear tests, applauding the government for standing up to "bully

and trouble-maker" China, a newspaper said Saturday.

"I see nothing wrong with India giving a notice to the world that it is

under threat, and the real threat is China," Gere told the Times of India

in an interview.

Gere, a follower of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama,

backed Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari

[lastklim]

Mr. Gere, can you tell China from Nepal?

The video shows Nepal police, not China police at all!!

Educate yourself before giving comment!

What a liar!!

[drolo7]

Que dejen al pueblo tibetano vivir en paz

[timtimtubetube]

they even can't identify a person by skin color? it is so different between chinese and indian...

oh, have to say there are not any discrimination upto colors of people in US.

[ckrocco]

The monks in Lhasa destroyed the image of Buddhism!!! what a shame for them!

[ckrocco]

The monks in Tibet killed, robbed the banks, burned the shops,set fire....Do you believe that they are monks who pray in the Monasteries, proclaiming that they learn Buddhism which taught people not to kill?

[jailbay]

Richard Gere is an asshole.

[ckrocco]

i agree with u!!! His name is Richard Asshole Gere.

[nilsonmorhes]

Not free territory tibet. Tibet chinese territory for century in history.

[ZhengFunWang]

Richarg Gere is a blind retarded Nazi

[RussianTopFighter]

US Gov will used any tactics it gets to disrupt China!

Using Tibetan and Taiwan would be the only way. How else can they destroy China ?

[junadvant]

Richard, please just shut up. Get a life. You showed how stupid you are in this video. CNN, you make me sick.

[junadvant]

Idiot Richard, your eye, mouth, and head are all on your dick!

[cbcb84]

you are so funny! haha

[cbcb84]

Rechard Gere is just disgusting

[prcisthebestcountry]

Richard, did you see that's Indian police not Chinese! well, maybe you don't dare criticise Indian police because they would put you behind bar for flirting with that Indian actress! hahahahahahahah!

[yyyyet]

[Jaylee8003]

[tracyliuqing]

According to Richard, Tibetan is non-violent at all, and because they want to capture the attention, Then they can behaved like terrorist-killing innocent people on the street? Is he well educated? or just insane?

Richard Gere is a fool. He has got brain damage. He did not know what he is talking about. He should be careful not to go to India, otherwise, he will be put behind bars. Hahahaha

[teewaakee]

cnn should show the minimal respection to the truth of what really happened in Tibet. by twisting truth it not only hurts people at the other side of the world, it also fools and hurts people here in USA, say Iraq.

[craziii3]

I must ask this, why does the guy kept on insisting people in calling him a monk when the lama is just another politician? if you are a monk, don't touch politics.

to my fellow americans, are you saying if there is a riot, the american police force would not respond like the chinese did?

the crazy censorship by the chinese government is crazy on this issue.

gere needs to get his head out of his ass if he thinks the US government will do anything about this.

[watamwaxg]

SHAME ON YOU. gere.

[adultcheck]

!!!WARNING - CHINESE PROPAGANDA!!!

Who are making these pro-china (anti-America,CNN,Gere,Tibet) comments? The spelling and grammer is terrible so they must be chinese. The chinese government has banned their citezens from accessing YouTube. That means the comments are obviously coming from the chinese governments huge propaganda machine.

Boycott china. Stop funding the occupation of Tibet. Stop shopping at walmart who sends $25 billion a year to communist china.

(This comment by an American)

[wjsophie]

stupid CNN！！！Shame amerikan news!!!

[sqdonghao]

shuddup!!! cnn!!

[skullove]

he's just talking to keep his job.

[vietschlang]

richard gere doesn't know jackshit about China. He is there to promote his declining career and trying to get laid. richard gere is the type of actor that never made it to the A list.

Therefore the next best thing he can do, is to

beat up China. Shame on him.

[anku6]

The Chinese brutality can not end until we stop buying their products. Boycott China

[youlue]

fuck off you NAZI!

[SpicyHam]

the clips that CNN is showing has nothing to do with wat happened in Tibet and the Chinese... way to confuse more ppl, this is making me sick shame on CNN!!!!!!

[tt6368]

LOL, I cant believe CNN is doing this shit fooling ppl.

while they were bashing china, the video showed however has nothing to do with china. from the uniform of the police its clear its not in china.

[carriemmm]

Richard Gere

I say "it's foolish and embarrassing for you." you fool, you are one of the murderers who support these mobs's killing in Tibet.God will punish you for your crime.

[kiroro56]

Richard Gere, there was a time that people were leaded by Pope politically. We all know that is wrong. Same for Tibet, Dalai lama should not be a poltician as well.

[adameye]

everybody know it is impossbile to separate Tibet from China, I just do not understand why a few stupid people want to do impossbile things..

I'm no surprise if police kicked some people's ass in Tibet, that's so normal, just look at the video of Nypd and the video of Indian police on Youtube. Those who violate the law will certainly be punished.

[UTubeDeletedMyMsg]

We like to say "God bless America". Folks, we understand that many of Americans have no knowledge about history at all. Many of us don't even know our own 300 year history. Sad isn't it? That doesn't matter. We do know China has more than 5000 years of history even we don't know much about it. A country survived before Moses came along and before Jesus came along. If a country survived those many years for better for worse, she is blessed regardless what they've believed.

[Tangoman82]

So we all know what's happening in Tibet and what just happened over there, but you guys prefer to attack this video instead of acknowledge and condemn what's happening there? Great.

[adameye]

we condemn terrorists in Tibet and support army to punish them, why you are so stupid? tell me where you assholes from?

[Tangoman82]

So you guys hate Gere because he speaks against the oppression in Tibet? Why is that guys? Are you all Chinks to say things like that about Gere?

[LongLivePRC]

FREE USA!

White Americans killed MILLIONS of Red Indians!

[shun38]

the clips that CNN is showing has nothing to do with wat happened in Tibet and the Chinese... way to confuse more ppl, this is making me sick

these are clips from burma or India, yet they keep talking about the Chinese gov't..

to those who wants to know the truth, please be careful of ANY sources u read, come up with ur own point of view, obviously any media cannot be trusted these days.

[x0bebe0x]

oh f*** off richard gere. For someone who don't know jack shit about Chinese History and the real facts,and commenting on "freeing" Tibet? Great job ignorant fuck.

[LongLivePRC]

haha Richard Gere has never been to college

u cant do much about a guy who has less intelligence than black gang youths.

[brucefontaine]

Richard Gere is nothing more then a celebrity pawn being used to further US propaganda. If you really care about this issue, do a little research right here on Youtube for yourself type in Tibet CIA and other such things like the attrocities committed by the British in Tibet. China is no virgin in this matter but in so far as the issue of Tibet, US citizens should do more then listen to Mr. Gere's one sided story.

[ShijiCai]

Damn...

That's not lahsa..U can see the police are all indians.Shit!

[sundg1984]

buddy !!! it is obvious thats not lahsa ...chinese are not allowing press inside tibet..

[Powa2]

We didn't destory Tibetan culture, they still are very autonomous and are buddhist. Can't say the same for Native Americans, thier language, culture, history is forever lost. Anybody protesting?

[sundg1984]

Powa2!!! This is 21st century, not 16th century...we understand native Americans are not protesting but they have democracy, and also do you mean tibetians shud not protest because native Americans are not protesting.... u shud go to hell buddy ...Tibet belong to tibetians ..

[sharonatcity]

All ties

[TibetIsFreeAlready]

Richard Gere has been telling the world that China has been destroying Tibet's culture. We'd like to ask him what kind of Tibet's culture he wants to restore. Is it slavery, brutally scoop people's eyes out of their eye cavities, or make a bowl out of a Tibetan's head bone under Dalai Lama's regime (By the way, I saw one in a history museum)?

[huyi122]

wtf! Richard Gere comments about china while the screen showing vid in Indian.

The video is totally misleading. Why did CNN show INDIAN Police resting protesting Tibetans while reporting the uprising in China? That is not professional at all.

BECAUSE even in India those Dalai Lama was stopped doing the protest. And yeah!! Richard Gere does not know any bloody thing...He doesn't even know who's behind all this

[ginadharne]

you need to read a little more of Chinese history before 1949, in fact, 800 years more!

Tibet belongs to China for the past 1000 years!

[lechampiones]

i think all tibet wants to be is like kosovo and all the tans(afganistan, uzbekistan...etc) why isn't this allowed???

[johnnywang121982]

i think richard gere is a jerk. he doesn't know anything about china. tibetans people have their freedom for their religions. people can believe what they belive in. buddism,christian,or others. CNN set up a bad sample here.i don't see chinese amry punish tibetans on screen. all i see is a bunch of indians army taking tibetans away from their protest. cnn always misleading people. don't trust cnn. you have to go visit tibet youself. then you will know the truth. shame on cnn. bad media company.

[b0101521]

Here is a historical irony: the first Dalai Lama was installed by a Chinese army.

Qing Emperor offically gave the title Dalai to the head of Gelug Schools of Buddhism in Tibet. Since then any reincarnation aka successor of Dalai has to be approved and confirmed by Chinese central government.

[sigma3721]

The video is totally misleading. Why did CNN show INDIAN Police resting protesting Tibetans while reporting the uprising in China? That is not professional at all.

[leisbb]

Those pictures were not even in Tibet! Those military personels were not EVEN in Chinese military uniform. It was not IN Lahsa, you idiot CNN!

[splittist]

China stop the killings in Tibet! Free Tibet!

[stripling123]

free the america first!

[uschinabayarea]

Gere:When you became a Tibet specialist? Do you know that your holy Dalai Lama is on CIA payroll? Is any us city or any civilized society will allow the criminal killing and burring of people? What if any good deed he did for Tibet people? Why do not you take the guy who burning car and kill people with big blade to your house? You better off to go to school and get some training about how to hug the India woman than spreading lies all over the places. You are a big air head hypocrite!

[ulanbator88]

Not only Tibet but also Inner Mongolia and Turkestân are occupied. Using the threat of desertification they've relocated the sheperds of Inner Mongolia into flats whilest giving their grassinglands to Chinese farmers. Also the Islamic Dongxiang Mongols of Gansu province live in hard times but traveling to their area is restricted for China doesn't want peeping eyes. In Turkestân they build new by Han populated cities to extract it's resources for energy hungry China proper.

[ulanbator88]

Whilest the same time they conduct nuclaer tests in the area's inhabited by Kazakh and Uyghur! China has the most executions in the world. Because of one child policy and the Han's preference for boys many just born girls get killed! They still consider the bigger half (Ladakh) of Kashmir as "historically" Chinese! If you point out China's crimes they start screaming about imperialism of the west. But if China does the same as imperialists than what makes that China????

[uschinabayarea]

do you know how many people in China. if we be little smart, we will not let OJ go free and the beautful college girl killed buy the two criminals. weak up!

[tsamzen]

You communist China! Tibet issue will never die. We are the third generations since you illigally occupied our motherland. Our issue will carry on generations to generations unless you do something positive. You will see MORE SHOW during the Olympic.We are ready to give anything for our rights.

This protest will surely help to control uneducated and stupid Han Chinese and whores to move in our land. Bravo! Bravo! keep it up!!

Free Tibet!!!

[DestinyFX]

[roc999]

Those mobs are by all standard terrorists. They kill civilians, set streets on fire, use bomb, try to hijack airplane. If we do not crack them down there, they will follow us home.

So, Mr.Gere, your comments shows your ignorance.

[Rigpa7]

Your pea-brain needs some light on the situation in Tibet. That's as simply as I can put.
