  • Name a media in China that doubts what the Chiense government offically said about what happened?

    Democracy is great.

    The government who treats people badly will be out of power. The Chinese government is always in power. They can do anything they want . including hidng the truth of the Tianamen.

  • China is not communist.

    They abuse minorities.

  • @peoplhi No, he is NOT just a wise man. He definitely is a holy being. And it isn't about him having an ego. It's about other people having class.

  • I think this sums up what the dalai lama is tryin to tell people of ALL religions to do.....:

    Live

  • I live in Memphis. I feel disgraced.

  • Only in Memphis a/k/a Ghetto-ville!!!!!

  • my friends in memphis feel disgraced.

  • are you serious? dalai lama is different from the pope. dalai lama cool with stuff. he's not some holy being, just a wise man. to say "What a Jerk! Does he even know who I am?" requires ego which is against the ways of the dalai lama.

  • Disclaimer: Fist bumps are OK, but ONLY IN THE RIGHT CONTEXT. OK, this does not look as bad as the Associated Press snippet sounded in print, but seriously: would you fist bump the pope? I bet the Dalai Lama leaned over to his entourage after the encounter and was like, "What a Jerk! Does he even know who I am?" At least he was shaking his hand BEFORE the bump. But still...[shaking my head] I'm a bit embarrassed for Memphis & Tennessee as a whole.

  • go memphis! Its your birthday! seriously, i live in memphis and this is what we are dealing with in our government! this is an sos, anyone who can hear this, please help!!! Oh my GOD!!! Its like fist bumping the POPE!!! WTF! im not even really surprised... in memphis anything is possible if you just imagine....

  • You should stop pure rattling, and talk about the Tiananmen incident.

    Nobody has ever had the right to choose the government in China in the entire history.
