    Of course America has no political prisoners though.

    For example, Leonard Peltier received a fair and balanced trial. :lol:

    Are you saying that Peltier isn't a political prisoner? Do you know anything about this case?

    Ok lets see here.

    You are saying the OP is not trying to highlight the problems that are occurring in China. Interesting. So tell me, if you think the OP hinted towards jack shit why exactly were you concerned about his safety? Why would you crack a joke about a candle protest too?

    because China doesnt allow discussions about this event. I'm very concerned that his internet is probably being tracked and himself watched by the Chinese authorizes. China is a fucked up place that doesnt allow freedom

    So you always like to go around in circles? How about I draw a flowchart for you

    1. OP mentions problems in China
    2. You are concerned for his safety
    3. You say the OP hinted towards jack shit
    4. You are again concerned for his safety.

    There are only two logical outcomes here:
    1: The OP is criticizing the Chinese government and you are concerned for his safety
    2: The OP hints towards jack shit and your concern is a joke.

    Which is it? You cannot have half of both.


    The question of age was more of a comment. Too bad you missed it.

    like I said, the OP didnt mention any problems in China. but did an excellent job of cutting and pasting. and I am concerned for his safety. China is know to have been watching those who mention Tiananmen. its a fucked up place.

    Anyway, back to the thread topic, if that's possible:


    Tiananmen Square: a night of despair

    A bereaved mother, pro-democracy protesters and other witnesses recall the brutal crackdown 20 years ago that claimed hundreds, possibly thousands, of Chinese lives

    Surely you are not hinting towards anything in these posts. Anyway, what I did find interesting is that I was listening to an interview on the radio with the photographer who took the picture in the OP and apparently the guy standing there has never been identified or at least his identity has never been revealed.
