Earthquake In China
Several readers sent in links on the earthquake that hit 10 hours ago near the Sichuan city of Chengdu in China. The Telegraph focuses on the citizen journalism that got word on the quake out on the Net instantly (the first report was via Twitter). Science magazine speculates that deaths from this event could exceed the 240,000 killed in the Tangshan quake in 1976, though the estimated death toll is below 10,000 at this writing. Hundreds of videos are up on YouTube, including this footage from a security camera — keep your eye on the goldfish.
someone fix the world please, thx.
but first,
you wanna tell me how much "heart" had indians when they were killing and eating each other ? how much heart aztecs had while they were maintaining around 3000 war prisoners on average and sacrificing (and eating the hearts of) 1000 of them at their big religious holidays ? how much heart did incas have when they were engaging in ritual slaughter of slaves and captives even before aztecs ?
you wanna play this fucking game ?

sydney, you are not talking about a benevolent partriarchate of long white bearded old wisemen watching over a sheep of carebear flock. you are talking about a government that forcibly tried to 'shape' its community by atrocities, discrmination, manipulation, brainwashing, repression and even trying to blatantly rewrite history. please, be realist. this same government is the one which is employing hundreds of thousands of people for just censorship purposes, implanting informants in universities, internet cafes and jailing people because they put a few no-no words in their blogs. please, be pragmatic.

Best post I have triggered with a one liner for many years. The monkeysphere sort of sums it all up in a humorous way.
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? - Pink Floyd.
Quite right. The stories of China are clear enough, and don't hang on little details that could be mistaken. You're either trying to brutally suppress people or you're not. It's either illegal to have an uncensored net connection or it's not. They either murder political prisoners for organs, or they do not.
Tibet doesn't want to be Chinese. Taiwan doesn't. Censored students obviously don't want to be Chinese. Who does want to be Chinese? (Nationally, not racially.) (And if they're in the richest third, don't bother with their opinion - they're the beneficiaries not the victims.)
We should remove China. Nobody wants it, but it wants to brutally control everyone. Anyone else see a problem with this?
