"All you activists out there: Get some RELIABLE information before you go making asses of yourselves protesting something you know nothing about. It’s right to be skeptical about Chinese propaganda, but you must also question the propaganda handed to you by the CIA-backed Dalai Lama."

Good advice about questioning motives, but I think the cia link is stale news.

You could also ask the people who USED to live by Mono Lake how they felt when Los Angeles stole all their water.

Wow. Have any of you Free Tibet people been to Tibet before and after the Chinese helped it out?

I'm with Blacknimbus.

Apologists for Communist China...what a shock. Chances are you wouldn't even be reading Neatorama after the censors got their hands on it.

Ask the 30,000 farmers who's lives are ruined because the government redirected all their water into Beijing for the Olympics. Do a little research on slave labour in China before you start touting the 'good it's done'.
