Citizens being bayoneted, martial law, mass arrests...

Not a peep from the forum. 
Also, clerics in Iran call the election results bogus.
Not a peep from the forum.
Obama supports a Hugo Chavez style dictator in Honduras.




I sometimes do not get the attention span from the forum and subjects we choose to argue over.

Here's a BBC news article of the event:

And here's a CBC link:

It's interesting to see how China takes care of these uprisings with instant maximum force

Many Uighur organizations claim Beijing persecutes Muslims with the aim of wiping out their religion and allege none of the jobs in the region’s lucrative oil industry ever go to Muslims.

The Communist government has said it is trying to snuff out terrorist activities in the region and is blaming the incident on what they call "Muslim traders" who are trying to destabilize the country.

Ethnic hatred existed between the Muslims in the west and the Han-Chinese before the Communist party took over the country.

The Chinese government's actions to suppress the Muslims in the past 50 years made the powder keg explode.

To be fair, it was the Chinese that invaded and took of Xinjiang in the early 20th century or something. Same with Tibet in the 50's, they expanded alot back then and that's why they're so big geographically today. The fact that their country is a single party dictatorship means that the Tibetans and other Minority regions get screwed over even more.

History dictates that single party dictatorships in multi ethnic-regional countries don't last, the USSR broke up, Yugoslavia broke up, because the individual regions didn't like being ruled in such a way. It's only a matter of time before China goes through some serious problems and either has to abandon its dictatorship or become a smaller country.

1. The riots hit the news only very recently. Xinjiang should not and should never have been part of China. Same goes for Tibet. Mao has a lot to answer for. Xinjiang is China's version of Russia's Chechnya. I support their legitimate separatist movements.
2. What is happening in Iran has been denounced by many here. The fact of the matter is that it is an internal matter for Iranians, which will hopefully be resolved in their favour.
3. Manuel Zelaya is the democratically elected head of the nation of Honduras. It ain't just Obama who backs him - it's the entire OAS. I thought the days of military dictatorships in Latin America had come to a close.

How could he see that in his haze of Mexican-hate?  He posts as if every Latino in California is an illegal alien La Raza fundamentalist.  That's at least as bad as Ramm and AusCh88 and their "I hate zionists, not Jews" argument.

Honduras - there's been at least a few threads on it in the last week or so.

China - apparently China backing the dollar for the foreseeable future is more important than protesters getting beaten in some people's eyes here.

Iran clerics - plenty of info in a handful of threads about the Iranians.

I feel much more qualified bitching about the various ways the US power elite is fucking the public than the same thing happening in China.  It is more relevant to me because SURPRISE! I live in the US.  I've been following along with the events in Honduras and Iran over the last week or so, I just don't feel the need to rush and create a thread to let bf2s know that I am following along.

Yeah I don't get it, there are/were threads about Iran and Honduras. Maybe not about China, but someone was bound to make one. Why is it people always complain about threads about Israel, do you really love the country so much that every thread pains you to see it or what? Who gives a fuck?

Infact people complain more about the Israel threads than there are threads about Israel, that's what I've noticed. I personally couldn't give a shit about those Jews and Arabs though, not anymore, unless something big happens, all the little shit just goes over my head

Im sick of Michael Jackson. I want CNN to just drop the friggin story and concentrate on things like this. They are 10x more important.

You know they allow you to turn off the TV?  Don't like don't watch.  Maybe it's your fault for tuning in to CNN thinking you are going to get some type of informative news story.  Sorry, CNN got out of that business long ago.

Which begs another question: If you know CNN and other mainstream media are providing infotainment at best, why keep tuning into CNN and other stations thinking you are going to get something different?  "Well I rammed my head 4 times into this wall and I keep losing motor skills; maybe if I ram my head a few more times I'll regain it all back."

Cheap shot ken, for $50.00.

You are too short sighted to the fact that my beef is with the u.s. Government.

I see a better point to making people aware of the impact of illegal immigration than of pointing to the usual high crimes and such of politicians. I have never said or implied that all hispanics are la raza or illegal. I will continue to point out that 99% of the problems surrounding illegal immigration are from hispanics.

And seriously, the mexicans don't need to be part of la raza because obama wants one on the supreme court.

Universal healthcare will be provided to now illegal aliens because some sort of amnesty is a given.   

What are you, blind?

US probably wont even put out a statement, the Chinese just backed the US dollar as the world currency, probably just so it would keep us quiet during this little episode.
