If bringing in my parents and teachers, etc is not a personal attack, what is? 2. What is that suggests that I'm not telling? I've made my points clear. 3. Have an open mind (don't just listen blindly to what is reported by TVNZ or TV3), the Internet is wide open for everybody to get and compare informations from all over the world - not just the West. Analyse them and make your own judgement and decide which true and which is not. 4. The CNN & BBC case is pretty obvious. They made up stories. |

| 652618 | 2008-03-28 03:08:00 | The people of New Zealand elected her to be our Prime Minister, respect those who voted for her, whether or not you did the same. That's the decision made by the majority of New Zealanders. Accept the facts and face the reality. This is our Democracy in New Zealand. | bk T (215) | ||
| 652619 | 2008-03-28 03:19:00 | In NZ, we don't elect someone to be PM and then surrender all of our own views to that person. Individuals still hold their own personal beliefs. Metla has his views, I have my views, and YOU have your views. If you suggest that everything Helen Clark says is a) right, b) representative of the majority of NZers, and c) the truth, then you're welcome to believe that - a lot of us don't. Back to the whole boycotting the Olympics thing, the debate is more than just about the recent incidents in Tibet. There have been decades of independently documented human rights oppression throughout China, the involvement with the Darfur crisis, and all sorts of other incidents. We sanctioned Myanmar and Zimbabwe for similar activities. We sanctioned Fiji for the military coup. We can't sanction China for economic reasons, but we can take other steps to voice our concern. Boycotting the Olympics is one option available. |

You have my condolences, and I hope your young enough to grow out of that confined mind space. |

Boycotting the Olympics is one option available. 1. Of course, you can have your views, Metla can have his and I have mine. No question about it. That's what this discussion is about! 2. To understand China is not so simple as ABC especially for someone who doesn't read the Chinese language. I'm not trying to say that China is perfect, it has lots of issues to be improved, no question about it. 3. As regards the recent Tibet incident, evidences have proved that CNN & BBC have made up their stories. This is something I feel very sad and angry about. Two main medias from the developed, democratic nations have done such irresponsible reports! 4. Boycotting the Olympics will not achieve the goal. |
