    It's about time the Lama face reality that it is hopeless to negotiate with China. Gandhi's strategy only works with civilized people.

    johnsmith9876:

    It's the time you nerds face the reality that it is hopeless to separate Tibet away from China in any degree.

    johnsmith9876 is surely not happy Daliar initiated the end of talk with China. I remember he still owed China a full list of 200 Tibetens dead in planned talk the end of this month. So he can feel relieved now.

    Daliar should contribute his bit to Credit Tzunami with his stolen fortune from Potala Palace. Americans helped him before, each year a 1.5 million. Now it's time to pay back. He should also know if USA really went broke, nobody could cover him any longer, since, well, "who is afraid an Uncle Sam with an empty wallet", as Time once said?

    Now you can understand what "civilized people" meant. Just look up. Most Chinese would recognize those to above are "civilized" with Chinese characteristics.

    As I told you guys many time, Dalai is just a liar and swindler. You'll find it yourself here:

    Most chinese understand a "civilised" johnsmith9876 who has spends all his time on this blog ranting anti-chinese sentiments. I know "civilised" people wipe out whole nations and tribes in the name of war on terror, democracy and freedom. Ask the Red Indians, Iraqis and Afgans they know.

    "I know "civilised" people wipe out whole nations and tribes in the name of war on terror, democracy and freedom." Ask the Xion-nu.

    I shouldn't have asked you guys to "Aak the Xion-nu" as they are no longer around. Unlink the US, China do things thoroughly, to ensure that there won't be any one to serve as witness to atrocities committed by China. US people are just stupid. There are still Red Indians, Iraqis and Afghans as witness. Chinese ways are way better.

    "...As I told you guys many time, Dalai is just a liar and swindler..."

    What does that matter? "He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he is our son-of-a-bitch". who said that?

    Mr. John Smith: I suppose a more known example would be the Manchus. You know, since their language and culture is also extinct, but this example is only from last century instead of the 5th.

    Funny thing is, the Manchus did this to themselves, intergrating completely with Chinese and abandoning their own culture for ours.

    By the way, The Xion-nu went on to become the Huns, which wiped out half the Roman Empire, considered by the west as one of the 'foundations of civilisation'. You really need to read up on your history, Mr. John Smith.

    Also, I agree with Mr. Elegant for once: it is quite hopeless, for the Tibetan Government in Exile and the Dalai Lama.

    Well perhaps they should lower their (very) low conditions, such as the one that demands the removal of all non-Tibetan people from Lhasa.
