BF2S Forums China Riots go unnoticed here

I suppose its a matter that we are distanced from such events, little or no media covereage, vetting of information to the masses?

Just about every DST news thread that somebody else post I see a good while before and pass up the chance to post but I haven't heard a thing about any roits in china.

Muslims, Jews, and anything American are whats "hot."

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.

And this is coming from the guy who deleted gigs of movies/programs/music all because he saw a black suv outside with a government logo?

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.

fake forum internet outrage over jews and the evil US.  this place is nothing but racists disguised with links and the use of the word zionists and such.  anyone can see that.  i am amazed you cant tbh.

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.

but.... Michael Jackson died
Jon and Kate got a divorce
Steve Mcnair was gunned down by his  mistress
Billy Mays died
Palin quit her job because she cant multi-task
Afghanistan has turned into a bloodbath
2 Airbus crashes in a week, one with a sole survivor
Sammy Sosa used roids

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.
