posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 08.09.07 (12:01 pm) China has a terrible track record when it comes to human rights, so I think people want to draw attention to that with the Olympics set to be staged there next summer. posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 08.09.07 (1:00 pm) Reply to: bawdy Actually, that is exactly what these particular protesters wanted to do, but I'm just not sure why some young, white Canadian university students are so passionate about something they've not first-handedly experienced. posted by: ggirl (reply) post date: 08.10.07 (6:50 am) I could go on and on about why people are (and should be) upset about Tibet. But I'll spare you...;-) Maybe some of those young people are Tibetan Buddhists. Tibetan Buddhism is a school (well, actually, many schools) of Buddhism which is practiced by many people in the West. If you practice Tibetan Buddhism, you're *very* upset with China. I could go on and on about why that is, but I'll spare you.... Missed reading about what Miss RosieTulips has been up to lately while I've been hibernating in my stress. Take care! posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 08.10.07 (10:00 am) Reply to: ggirl I wonder if Tibetan Buddhists and Falon Gong practitioners are treated the same in China...For the last 5 years, there has been a peaceful protest outside the Chinese Consulate here. There is always one falun gong practitioner sitting in their constructed wooden hut. Apparently, the Chinese government has been doing horrible things to them, too. posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 08.10.07 (12:14 pm) I want to know how university students afford summer trips to China. Must be nice not to need a summer job to help pay your way. posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 08.10.07 (12:57 pm) Reply to: bawdy I never thought about the cost! I miss those 4 month summer holidays...that's enough time to stir up some trouble! |
