| I think most people here don't really understand the patriotism is not in fashion anymore in the west. The only people that get coverage by medias are the people that loath their own countries, and trashed their officials. If you question, you are called the Neocons. And most of these well educated idiots do not understand why "the repressed people of China, still loved China" I am Chinese American, being up front, I do not believe in all the victimology that the mass media peddled this days. I still consider myself Chinese, even though I live in US. I have a problem with people who are only skin deep when it comes to other people's country. Tibet is an issue, and I do think Chinese Government should work with the Tibetan people. Give up Tibet? Absolutely not. Is Britian willing to give up their Virgin Islands in the Bahamas? Are US ready to give up California or Texas? If there wasn't a coup in the Ivory Coast, the French will stay there and exploit the African indefinitely. I am sorry if I am a bit cynical with this. Do the people in Tibet ever known Freedom? This Daila Lama is the first to leave Tibet right? If I am wrong on that, I apologize in advance. If Tibet become a stand alone country, they are going to be a theocracy country anyway. At that time, Daila Lama will be the supreme ruler of the Tibet, so, what is the difference? I do think China should let Dalai Lama back to Tibet, but, any talk about independence should be stopped. Tibet is part of China, get over it. Just like Texas or the British Virgin Islands. I think most of the people that attack the athelets are cowards, they know they are in a safe distance, and the so call "Civilized" people will not persecute them. How many of them actually lived in Tibet before the communist and after and compare the difference? probably none, so, it is all second hand information, they are like parrots, repeating everything feed to them by the mass media, that is why I called them well educated idiots. They do have the pact mentality too, if one of them think it is an issue, they all think it is an issue, so, you call this individual thinking? Just remember this, the true genious and great thinkers are truly loney people, because they do not have many peers. I think the current views of the world are a bunch of spoiled brats keep repeating each other so they won't be the lone voice out there. It is pretty sad. As for GN, I happen to be a designer too, but I do not see things you way. Designer are designing for the people, if people enjoy it, it is a successful design, (Successful, not great, there is a difference) if only a few of your friends thinks it is a great design, but the rest of the crowd do not see it that way, are you sure it is a good design, of these country bumkins just do not have the taste level for it? That is a very condecenting way of talking to your fellow countrymen. As for Belacqua, I think the reason why Curry had become the British National Dish is because British wasn't known for their culinary ability. The French did not take up their African ethnic dishes as their national dish don't they? So, Chinese had thousands of years of supreme culinary skill, so, we aren't as easily integrated as the British. Also, I think we do have a certain pride on our own culture, especially in regards to food. |
