But that's okay because they were more powerful, you know now that I think about it Stalin wasn't such a bad guy.
    Chinas culture was older and more sophisticated. And Stalin murders were a bit over the top. He killed people for kicks it seems. I can excuse his creating a famines becuase well we all make mistakes, and when your Czar a mistake costs lives.

    Yeah now he does. How long has he been saying that. Sorry but the Dalai Lama was going to go whether the Chinese did it or the Tibetans did it was coming.

    No it wasn't. Any nations advancement costs lives, lots of them.

    Cause he was a theocrate and are you sure he wanted change then. Just because he does now means nothing.

    And you admit it is probably absurd, well Roswell is rather absurd, but it kinda coulda happened and can't be completely discouted so...
    When the last king was on the throne, before he was killed by his insane son in a orgy of blood and violence.

    People defending what China did in Tibet (or Turkmenistan) just really piss me off.
    That depends on whether the Chinese gave me an opportunity for advancement and a better life. It wold be obvious that all resisting the Chinese equals death, and since I want to live. I'd tow the line.
