    How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man?

    An attack against America is not an adequate defense of China. Do better.

      My defense of China is that the vast majority of people did not support independence, and that the government was far more leniant towards the protestors than a western government would have been. How would you have suggested China respond to the protests?

        By not brutalizing the protestors? What do you mean? I don’t have to have the correct answer to tell you that brutalizing people is the wrong answer?

          Can you elaborate on what you mean by “brutalizing the protestors?” Is there any country on Earth where riots are left alone?

            How many times do I have to condemn every government and then tell you to shut the fuck up and address the issues with this government, the one we are talking about, and not other ones?

              You can condemn every government if you want. You’re not actually getting anything accomplished by doing so, though, in condemning everything you’re left alone. By your response, you would have let the riots persist, I imagine? Even if people were hurt by the rioters?
