Ignore the idiots on here. There a lot of very good and smart people that contribute to this forum. Tiger-what-ever-his-name-is is just not one of them.
This is generally a good place for information and discussion. Unfortunately, as soon as you try to have an intellegent discussion on China, the idiots show up. The guy needs to be banned as totally disruptive.
Either way, you have to grow a thick face to debate on here. Famous American saying: Get over it. A more appropriate famous American saying in this thead: Consider the source. If its a guy named Tiger-something, it aint worth it.
How long do we have to put up with ChiCom trolls that won’t respond when engaged in fair debate in a rational way and then post insults and threats to other FReepers and the forum itself?
To others:
Just sometimes when we saw the insulting words about our country we can't keep our temper.I said that before,that it's just our nature custom to protect our country and people by overseas attack no matter who is our King.Sometimes such custom is misapplied in rude words and self-willed speaking which made situation worse and misunderstood by foreigners.I think that's why some westerner just call almost every chinese "brainwashed" or "Chicom" something.It's a mistake by different culture and expression way.
As for whether the King is good or evil,it's another totally different topic.Well,to tell the truth,most(not all) of the chinese think the King is good as a whole ,so it's not strange to see them defending the gov.t when they are defending the country and people.If that makes you determain our nature as "brainwashed" and "Chicom" then obviously there will be no "rational discourse" between both of us.
So if you want a "rational discourse" or "fair debate",stop making judgement before that. Show some respect and you will get much more from us,that's another important custom of chinese.
About those links which quoted by both side,I think they are not much helpful.I can find many more articles for both side.But who knows which is more close to the truth.It is sad there are no entirely righteous media in the world.Rumor,fake and biased news are everywhere,especilly in politics.
For many years I haven't trusted any thing I hear or even I saw.I just analyse it,not in childlike thought but practical and consequent way,that makes many things more clear in your eyes.
I am really tired of those insulting style of political topic these days.I would only reply when I saw posts which made me very angry or very grateful from now on,I guess.
You know,we are all "吃饱了没事干" or "闲得蛋疼“......If you really care about China and think you know China enough to debate it,you can find its meaning yourself. ^ ^
