Not at all; I never assumed you were. I’d assign that title to our paid-for friends sursam, NN, and Chinese Chinese.

You don’t know that, GMC. Sursum, FYI, wasn’t hit-and-run; there have been previous posts under that name, and they’ve always been thoughtful.

And honestly: don’t you want to hear a different point of view? I found “Chinese Chinese” interesting, if not particularly eloquent. In some respects, the awkward Engiish (harder to fake than you might think) made me wonder if this wasn’t just some regular Chinese Joe or Josephine, posting randomly.

Sursum was right: controlling a billion people ain’t easy. Therein lies hope–for everyone.

Ben -

Indeed, Ben, you are one of the posters here I have the most respect for, even when we disagree. Especially when we disagree.

Have a good evening.

“However, the Carribs, and several Gulf of Mexico tribes were cannibals.”

And in the Tower of London, in England, that great bastion of civilization, they once put a funnel in a man’s (medical term for back door) and poured molten lead into it as a means of execution.

I would rather be eaten.

Ben,
The theocracy which governed Tibet for centuries was just as brutal as every other theocracy in history (including Marxism, which became as much a theocracy as any other, proving that God is not neccesary to theocracy).
Next time you are in Kansas City, go to the Nelson Gallery and visit the Tantric Buddhist room, and ask yourself if you really believe that all those religious artifacts carved from human bones could have come from people who died natural deaths.
That said, my hope is that Tibet, once freed from Chinese rule, will not return to theocracy under the Dalai Lama, but will build a democracy that includes its Buddhist heritage but is not dominated by it.

Boycotting the games for political purposes does a disservice to all the athletes of every country. But going to see the games and spending lots of money there is a disservice to the people who are fighting for freedom. Maybe the best thing that can happen is for the games to be held, but for fans to either not show up or to spend as little as possible while there, so that the games become an economic disaster for China, which has spent a fortune preparing for the Olympics.

I just heard a Chinese propagandist claim that the Dalai Lama wants to ‘return Tibet to the darkness of serfdom.’ That sounds like a similar arguement above “Africa and the American continent were brutal, tribal places long before the White Man ever stepped foot on either continent” and so Christian Eoropeans had to civilize us.

I reject BOTH claims.

Rage:Suppose most people did not show up for the Atlanta Games because of past segregatioin in the south, wouldn’t you be humiliated? I would be. Suppose the 30’s LA games were boycotted because of the KKK and segregation which was still in effect, I’d be bewildered, wouldn’t you? I’ll stick to my comment that Russia was humiliated and resentful of the west because of the boycott and who knows the USSR may have split earlier. The Olympics are simply not the place to persue political ends,and I believe people the world over wish for the same thing. China to-day is a far cry from the time of Mao or the Culturual Revolution and still has a long ways to go, and it seems to be going the in right direction for you can’t completey B/S 1 billion+ people. Some very ancient societies are more at ease with guaranteed law, order and effective goverment rather than life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.

That would not at all surprise me Paul. The use of ‘agent provacatuer’ is well known and can be quite effective.

I heard a TV report that a bunch of Chinese dressed up as fake monks.
Then, the Communists tried to pass them off as Tibetan.
A REAL monk yells, at the camera: “not Tibet, Chinese, not Tibet”
Forget what TV station.
Never heard any verification.

But, sounds like typical Communist propaganda routine.

sursum, assuming your take on Tibet is accurate, today is not 1950, and enlightenment rarely flows from the barrel of a gun.

As for humiliating the Chinese, well, when the government controls what they are allowed to know, it’s a tad difficult to have an honest dialogue with the Chinese people, don’t you think? The “good” news: I rather doubt the Beijing regime, throughly financially entwined with the U.S., will pick up its marbles and go home.

The notion that the 1980 boycott “humiliated” the Soviets (the world’s only other superpower–humiliated?? are you joking?) is simply a claim, and an interestingly unsupported one. What tangible effects occured from it? I notice it didn’t stop the original signatories from disbanding the U.S.S.R, a little over a decade later.
