Tibettan scumbags

lostexpectation · 15-03-2008 07:20PM #1

did you see them on the news wrecking the gaf, attacking peoples places of work and disrupting their hard working lives, see the footage of them turning over cars and one shot of someone attacking somebody on a moped...picking out chinese homes to attack, total scumbags...

orestes · 15-03-2008 07:21PM

Nope, I missed the news. Do you have a link or proof or are we just gonna take your word on this one?

You know the rules, pics or it didn't happen

Red Hand · 15-03-2008 07:24PM

How is that different to the Bosten Tea Party and the American revolutionaries?

Caoimhín · 15-03-2008 07:25PM

u chinese maybe?

Miss Fluff · 15-03-2008 07:26PM

Your thread title is a little bit misleading. I presume you mean the Chinese are scumbags? Tibetans and Chinese are completely different (hence the rioting).

dlofnep · 15-03-2008 07:28PM

Maybe they are peed off that China is running the show and won't give them their independence?

Well the OP makes the point that they were targeting Chinese homes so I'm guessing he/she is referring to the rioters as scumbags.
OP, it wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for the oppressive hold China has over Tibet. When people are oppressed they often rise up and there's always someone who likes to act the thug in the middle of the uprising. But I'm sure the police and military will be able to match them in the thuggery stakes...

They are using the Olympics to highlight the plight of their country, currently undergoing something like the plantations in the North of Ireland, and the invasion of their country by the Chinese, who have long claimed Tibet as part of their own country (sort of like Taiwan). Not that the cracked theocratic regime that was in place before that was much better, mind you.

Miss Fluff · 15-03-2008 07:32PM

OP is Chinese obviously then:(

Which is a complete joke considering Tibet was never part of China. Spent some time in Tibet last year, so happy I got to go there, it's all very upsetting what is happening there right now

Reminds me of somewhere else closer to home back in Feb of 2006 . . .;)

Balmed Out · 15-03-2008 07:39PM

Come on now, those tibetans should be throwing flower petals on their chinese neighbours in thanks. Where would they be without their Chinese overlords?

Its me. I'm the Tibettan scumbag in the op.

lostexpectation · 15-03-2008 07:57PM

but scumbags are scumbags, they are attacking people in a sectarian manor, randomly destroying people shops etc, there disrupting people's work and family life...I don't care whether they are oppressed or poor, there's no excuse.

dsmythy · 15-03-2008 08:00PM

Some of the rioters i've seen on the news look like they are more scum than freedom fighters. Attacking people on the basis of their ethnicity is a huge no no.

On a side note it is always a wierd sight watching a monk rioting.

True. But unless you're involved in their circumstances they are, I'd find it hard to believe you could truly understand their mindset. Maybe they feel that their words have fallen on deaf ears and that now is a time for action?

This is not a black and white issue, and while I don't condone them for attacking innocent chinese people.. I can understand why they mighty lash out due to desperation.

lostexpectation · 16-03-2008 12:25AM

look at them going mad in nyc too, throwing rocks at the chinese embassy and police. disgusting

kraggy · 16-03-2008 12:30AM

I agree. They're pure scumbags. Just like we were scumbags to revolt against our oppressors.

Jaysus we're awful thugs.

GhostInTheRuins · 16-03-2008 01:03AM

The footage on the news was very one sided too, the Chinese don't want to paint the Tibetans in a good light, or, more importantly, show a negative view of themselves.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 16-03-2008 01:06AM

Think OP means it tongue in cheek.

It's the old protest thing again. Squeak, Tara, Tibet - who can't people just sit down and let their authorities make the decisions and stop questioning them? If we'd only donw that back in tens and twenties, we'd still be sitting pretty under our British Overlords.

Down with protests! Boo!

Attacking people based on ethnicity regardless of circumstance is wrong. That includes us whenever an innocent protestant was beaten in the north back in the day.

Historically, they are two very good reasons to rebel.

This sort of thing happens ever couple of months in Tibet, but it only rarely gets into the media.

And as for calling them scumbags, a lot of the rebels are buddhist monks.

It's not based on ethnicity (i.e. based on their race) so much as it is based on a desire to stop the "silent genocide" which the PR China is imposing on Tibet, that is to say trying to make it more Chinese.
