Look my mom was young when they invaded Tibet. My grand parents lived in Tibet while the Dalai Lama ruled and while the Chinese ruled.There was no comparison.I know my family does too.My grandparents neighbours were shot and hung because they had a picture of the Dalai Lama.Don't kid yourself.
Also,The U.N. has claimed this as a genocide.
And btw we can do something-Alliances, and boycotts.If people don't buy mass produced goods from China China loses.
Join The Fight!Free Tibet!

I uploaded a video from Penn & Teller's show on Showtime, talking about the Dalai Lama and how he allegedly ran Tibet before being forced out by Communist China. Now, I must warn you that there is some obscene language in this video, and also that I do not agree with how slanderous Penn & Teller make the current Dalai Lama out to be--I like that Penn & Teller offer a show that proffers different views on matters that we mostly take for granted in this country, but I sometimes am dubious of how biased their alleged "fact-finding" and "truth-telling" really is.

I personally believe the Dalai Lama, as he is today, to be a wonderful and wise man, with many a great thing to say about war and violence versus peace and tolerance. And if the video has anything correct about how Tibet used to be under the Dalai Lama's rule, I would somehow doubt that a return to power in Tibet would create the same living conditions as described in the video before China's takeover.

Can you offer any proof to back up these claims?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_re ... e_movement
that proves that the CIA helped them.
And the Dalai Lama saying non-violence comes from The Fim Lung Ta,
and a documentary called Himalayan Struggle on National Geographic channel last year in May

I wish Tibet to be free that their cultural heratage be preserved, that they no longer are opressed, and that they can be open to Ministry by Christian Missions trips.

Tibet was invaded 50 years ago.It was the a horrible occupation and Tibetans have been treated horribly.Torture is daily.
The world is silent when a great Nation needs us.
The west needs to take an active role in overthrowing the Chinese Government.Force if necesssary.This has gone too far.Too many have died.China's a threat and a harsh dictatorship.Eliminate them.Take out there government.Give it back to Democracy.
Tibet is beautiful and peaceful and we need to recognize them.
FREE TIBET!SAY NO TO CHINA!

Screw you, you're the kind of guy that goes around screaming "Take out Iran, they have nukes and are a threat to our security" and then when we do it, you go "Hey, don't do that, they're an independent country that isn't harming us!"

So we're gonna go ahead and say "Screw you, Tibet isn't in our interest and we haven't heard a peep out of them for years."

EDIT: Oh god dang it, steve.

And besides, Christian missions would do nothing but make the place worse. Most of that area is Atheist for a reason.

The GTFO part was the harshest and least tolerant. Also, I believe that this sort of use was why the word "GTFO" was censored in the first place.

Actually, Tibet is very religious country. They are primarily Buddhist along with a little Islamic and a native religion known as Bön.

Christian missions would do wonders if they go about it right. There is no reason why they shouldn't go in, and every reason why they should. For the glory of God IS every reason.

Why bother? They are already mostly Buddhist and very happy to stay that way.

Good reason why they shouldn't go in:

Going into a country and telling them to abandon the religion of their family for as long as they can remember, and convert to your religion. And if they don't, don't want to, just tell them that because they aren't they will be eternally damned to hellfire.

Because, if you're a Christian, you believe that they won't go to heaven unless they are saved by Jesus, and besides the fact that we want them to go to heaven, Christ calls Christians to evangelize in the great commission. Christianity isn't a self-help Make Your Life Better program...
