Violence is NOT the way to free tibet from the chinese. Violence begets violence and will serve the tibetan cause. Follow the Buddha's teaching and shows your compassion to your enemy.

Chinese stole Tibet by soldiers and killed many tibetans so Chinese are terrorists and killers of human.

It makes me want to laugh how people think about communist China. A total communist country is the government owns everything, factories, your house, school... and you just work for the government and the government will take care of you. But not all factory workers are noble enough to work, if they show up or

[hittingstick]

don't show up either way they are getting paid by the government. Because of the greediness of human nature a true communist country would not work. Would a true Capitalist country work ? Hell No. If America is a TRUE CAPTIPALIST country then they can't put any restrictions on minimum wage,

unemployment compensation, or retirement pay. A true Capitalist country is you get paid whatever your boss feels like to you, they might pay you 2 dollars per hour or 50 cents per hour, if you don't work there will be plenty of other people who are willing to work for that much, and you can't even get unemployment compensation for it neither, because government can't have any restrictions on it.

Shame on Dalai Lama, a professional liar and a trained terrorist.

Lhadon Tethong is a fool, totally!! If she had really lived in Tibet for a while, she would have known she was wrong and apologize for her words!! And also a reminder to her: Don't use the Canadian (or more directly the Western human right standard to measure a world she doesn't belong to). She is an idiot!!
