TIBET - URGENT Help support the Dalai Lama Please
 

Hi,

I just signed an urgent petition calling on the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and dialogue with the Dalai Lama. This is really important, and I thought you might want to take action:

Avaaz.org - The World in Action

After decades of repression, the Tibetans are sending out a global cry for change. Unrest is spreading across Tibet and neighbouring regions, and the Chinese regime is right now making a crucial choice between escalating repression or dialogue.

President Hu Jintao needs to hear that "Made in China" exports and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing will have the support of the world's people only if he chooses dialogue. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention. Click below to sign the petition--in just 7 days, the campaign is over half way to the goal of 2 million signatures!

Thank you so much for your help - forward this email to friends!

"....and beatings reminiscent of the LA Riots..."

And you're a member of Jeremiah Wright's church I presume? What kind of un-American statement is it to compare America to China? It's fine to criticize American actions. I do it regards the Iraq war as do many others. But comparing us to China!! I think that's over the top, don't you!

I think you're right on with this one ;)

OOOh! I see. You were comparing the actions of a captive people to the actions of Americans who are free to go about their every day activities and to criticize their government for a redress of their grievances. You are waaaaaaay off base on this thing and I suggest you quit digging deeper.

I'm not one of these love it or leave guys, but I think your outrageous, false accusations deserve the most aggressive reaction possible. I wouldn't suggest putting your statements on a sign and going to bass tournament or a NASCAR race.

isn't it something out there going out of the way?

just my :twocents:

It might be "out of the way"(whatever that means)in Switzerland. I don't know. But it's un American here and that's where he and I are located. Maybe you would prefer he compare China to Switzerland.

Ever been to China, Ramon? Ever seen manufacturing sites surrounded by 10 foot walls with razor wire on top where people work six 10 hr days a week and are not free to leave on the 7th day? I've never seen that in the United States. If someone else has please let me know.

I'm offended by these statements because they portray a completely untrue picture of my country on an international message board. Don't give this please crap. I'm mad as hell about this guy's statements.

Thread closed as nothing good is going to come out of it and the skewed biased views
