ultracold

What really makes me suck is not communists, but those who always turn a non-political topic related to China into a potilical one, making me feel that i'm still living in the Cold War era.

Westerners usually think Chinese are younger than their real age, while Chinese usually think the opposite about westerners. One of my friends attends college in the US and she told me that girls there look older than their actual age, while some of her American friends just don't believe she is old enough for college!

Then how about attacking the torch runners during the torch relay?How about attacking a disabled girl and trying to snatch the torch from her?This is not that disgusting,huh?! I can tell you almost every Chinese is very furious after watching the torch relay in London and Paris, this has nothing to do with whether our government is democratic or not. What we'are furious about is that those guys are not protesting for some socalled"freedom", they are actually boycotting and violating the Olympics! Just imagine some terrorists blast the streets during the torch relay of London Olympics(sorry for the horrible assumption), how will you feel? Does it have something to do with Gordon Brown is a bad guy or not?! What i'm trying to say is sometimes you just need to put yourself in others' shoes, to think from others' perspective. You think condemning the Chinese government for socalled bad human rights record is actually helping us, thank you, but that does not make us feel much better. I dont deny we do have bad human right records, but most of them are far less horrible than you have heard of. When some people hate someone else, they are capable of saying anything against him by exaggerating or even faking. You have a deep-rooted stereotype about China, so you choose to believe everything bad about China you have heard of , you never question the credibility of the source. But do you know what we are actually caring about right now? Do you know why we are so furious? We are furious because of the perversely distorted reports on the Tibet issue from some Western media(such as CNN. Do you know now there's actually an anti-CNN campaign in which millions of Chinese are involved both home and abroad?), because some ppl want to take advantage of this to slander our country and stop the Olympics from being held in China! This is why we are furious, this is why we feel we need to do something! Let's just put aside the human rights thing for a while.I know it's very hard to convince you unless you go to China to see it for yourself. Please just think from our perspective once! Sometimes you think you are helping people and doing the right thing, but if you dont know what they are actually caring about and what is actually happening, they won't identify with you! Can you understand us?? If you are willing to take the trouble, just come to China and see for yourself! We welcome you, mate!

Ok then , i go hire some ppl, and pay them to say" We are Tibetans.We are being oppressed. We want freedom!" Then i take down what they say. Yes, they are spoken out about and "Well"documented. Have you seen the gossips on some tabloids? They are spoken out about, but do you buy it?Something documented does not necessarily mean it's true! The Catholic Church said "Earth is the center of the Universe", and it's well documented, but is it true?! Go see this thread http://forums.coldplaying.com/showthread.php?t=43836 It's a thread started by a non-Chinese. And a good chance to learn more about Tibetan History!

How ridiculous! If the Chinese government dont't allow me to listen to Coldplay, i wont even have the chance to know coldplay! A government wont allow you to listen to all kinds of music? The RollingStones, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and even Bjork(the bitch who supports "free Tibet") have thrown their concerts in China, do you know it?! I'm Chinese, do you think you know more about China than i do? Have you ever been to China? Have you actually seen how the Chinese ppl are leading their lives? All you have are those crap reports on "bad human rights records", all you have is the stereotype that China is governed by an authoritarianism government. I suppose the Cold War has already become history, hasn't it?But it's sad to see there are still quite a few people are still thinking in a way that is typical of the Cold War period. And some of them were born after the end of the Cold War! Yes, i acknowledge the Chinese government are not always doing well, but this time it's not about defending the Chinese government, it's about defending the truth! Say your father may be strict with you, maybe he dont give you all the things you want, and maybe sometimes you hate him. But when ppl begin saying your father is a thug, a dictator when they think he commits some wrongdoings which dont even exist, how do you feel? You tell ppl "yep, my father is a thug"??This is not defending a government or whatever, it's patriotism!I've attached a picture, you can see lots of friends on my MSN list have added"Love China" to their nicknames, and i can tell you there're millions of Chinese ppl doing the same thing right now! We dont get paid to do this, we do this voluntarily!

A piece of advice to all you ppl: Go to Tibet and see for yourselves! Ask those local ppl whether they are being oppressed or not!

I find it rather ridiculous that if the so-called "Chinese paramilitary police" are disgusting thugs, then why they show up on Amercican soil without any objections from the US govornment? ! "'Free Tibet! Because we're American, we can do that,'exclaimed Carter". So do you know what the fuck is going on in Tibet? Or at least, do you know where Tibet actually is? You can "free" Tibet because you're an American?! Then i can free Hawaii because i'm Chinese! Who entiltes you the right to "free Tibet"?Who entitles you the right to meddle with other nation's internal affairs? Let's go back to the 1950s when black people were discriminated and oppressed(i'm sorry to mention this piece of history). If people around the world had been saying"Free the blacks! Go establish an independent country!", how would those Americans react to this kind of protests?! Plus, the Tibetan ppl are not being oppressed! Do you actually know what the so-called "peaceful protestors" did in Tibet? First tell me please does the English word "protestor" also means vandalist, arsonist, or even murderer?!Okay, the mainstream media told you Chinese police are oppressing those who support Tibetan Independence, then do you know how they glean their news resources and jump to this conclusion? You will probably never know that some of them actually do not show you the ORIGINAL photos they took in Tibet, and some of the photos are NOT EVEN TAKEN IN TIBET!! Because you have never been to Tibet, because all the things you know about China and Chinese people are from those reports on the sptupid authoritarianism communism thing, you never doubt the facticity of those reports! If you think i am brainwashed or have been paid to say these things, okay then, let the facts speak! Have seen the torch relays in London and Paris on TV, haven't you? Those people are "freeing Tibet" by hurting those torch runners, by trying every means to snatch the Torch from them! What a view! They are violating the sportsmanship and the holy spirit of Olympics--- and this has nothing to do with the whole "Free Tibet" thing! If those Chinese secret police are "disgusting and appalling", how about thoese Torch snatchers? Great Heroes?? Don't you feel strange that the whole "Free Tibet" thing just pop up all of a sudden---just in the meantime of the torch relay? Is it a coincidence? NO! It's a real conspiracy! Tibet is NOT a place needs to be freed. So just mind your own business before you actually know what is ACTUALLY happening down there! If you ever choose to protest, try to protest against those real evils, rather than something you hardly know. Yes, man has the right to voice his opinions, but that does not mean you can say whatever you want---you must be responsible for your words.To protest and to slander are totally different!

I'm so glad and moved to see there are ppl that actually understand and support China! Bravo Maldini!!

Djokovic is amazing! He has not only won the game, but won it convincingly! Federer is a legend, but Djokovic played better.

I want it to come out tomorrow!:) Before i saw this post, i almost took for granted that LP4 is due out on May 19th though no credible source had announced it.

I really hope so! After three years' waiting we deserve an exceedingly awesome album!

That's nothing strange. Just as ariadnasquire has put it, foreign students should pass strict exams to master the English language. And we are taught to write "Formal English" that conforms to strict grammar rules.

No Are you good at maths?

Me, either. In the past two years people bet on Chelsea and ended up in disappointment. The "chelsea year" was supposed to come two years ago, but now that it didnt come then, it probably wont come this year, as they are no longer the team to beat.

yea. Are you superstitious?

Very interesting stuff! seems you've done some kinda research. BTW, nice to meet you, JackyY

Yup, on many occasions,such as in the cinema.:rolleyes: Are you pleased with the place where you're currently living?
