Anarchy in the US hasn't seemed to hurt China all that much.

« on: November 03, 2011, 09:32:53 PM »I can't answer as an authority, my closest relationship to Bhuddism is BsB.
But he is what I think, Buddists respect this self sacrifice as a sort of heroism.
The Chineese are right to be worried.
So in your opinion they burn themselves so others look at them as heroes? Why would a Buddhist care what others think of them? Especially to go to that extreme where they can't see the crowds reactions once they are dead. Death kinda ends a lot of feelings.

3DHS / Re: Cain on Foreign Policy
« on: November 03, 2011, 09:27:57 PM »I guess perception really is the key:
Did Cain mean by developing "building up" or did he mean by developing "initiating".
His record shows that he meant building up.
The records of those folks at MSNBC who had great fun at his expense shows they wanted it to mean initiating, because that better fits their narrative.
That's why anything they say I won't believe. The MSM could say Cain raped his dog and I would still vote for him. And clearly many people are thinking like me. We know he's a bright go so they can parse he words all they want but it only makes them look like idiots.

"60 Minutes" challenged Nancy Pelosi on her conflict of interest while Speaker and facilitating financial reform while being involved with credit card companies.
I think this proves the Liberal Media might be finished with Nancy. They must be tired of covering for her. And really how can they have any credibility by covering for her?

« on: November 03, 2011, 09:14:12 PM »Assuming this is accurate, or even mostly accurate, then Cain couldn't possibly have not known China was a nuclear power, and was just misspeaking (as usual).
QuoteHerman Cain spent the Vietnam war evaluating the capabilities of the Chinese to deliver a nuclear weapon onto the heads of our forces in South Vietnam.
He examined the test launches of the Dongfeng 1 (SS-1) and plotted out the trajectories for a 500kg warheads.
When China started testing the Dongfeng 2 (CSS-1) Cain plotted out the trajectories and capabilities of it’s delivery of 15 kiloton nuclear weapons.
Both of these missiles were provided to the PRC by the Soviets, Cain analysed data from the Russian test launches and determined the risk to U.S. troops in SE Asia.
Cain also observed the development of China’s first domestically produced missile, Dongfeng 3 (CSS-2) and plotted out it’s use with China’s 15-20KT fissile devices as well as China’s new thermonuclear devices.
Finally, Cain was involved in the determination that China’s Dongfeng 4 (CSS-3) was capable of delivering both fissile and thermonuclear devices to both Moscow and Guam as well as cover the entire deployment of U.S. forces in SE Asia.

Dave heard what he heard so none of that matters. According to Dave, Cain doesn't have a clue about China or foreign affairs.
It's truly amazing how people can educate themselves with truth but so often rely on the wrong sources of information. Google is a good start.
As in the X Files, the truth is out there.

3DHS / Why to Buddhists set themselves on fire?
« on: November 03, 2011, 06:59:40 PM »
Why to Buddhists set themselves on fire? What a bunch of idiots. There are less painful ways to be a coward than fire.

BEIJING (AFP) - A Tibetan nun died after setting herself on fire in southwest China on Thursday, the official Xinhua news agency said, in the eleventh such incident involving Buddhist monks and nuns in the restive region.
The International Campaign for Tibet confirmed the death of the nun, named Qiu Xiang and aged about 35, saying she called for religious freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, as she set herself on fire.
London-based rights group Free Tibet also confirmed the latest incident when contacted by AFP.
Xinhua said Qiu set herself alight around 1:00 pm (0500 GMT) in Dawu county, part of Ganzi prefecture in China's Sichuan province, and that local authorities had launched an investigation into the nun's death.
Local police declined to comment when contacted by AFP.
But Xinhua later said an initial police investigation had shown the case was "masterminded and instigated by the Dalai Lama clique, which had plotted a chain of self-immolations in the past months for splitting motives".
Xinhua cited Tashi Omgyene, a local official.
Eight Tibetan Buddhist monks and two nuns have now set themselves alight in Tibetan-inhabited regions of Sichuan since the self-immolation of a young monk at the Kirti monastery in Aba county in March sparked major protests that led to a government clampdown.
At least five monks and two nuns have died in the self-immolations, rights groups have said.
"We heard she called for religious freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet," International Campaign for Tibet spokeswoman Kate Saunders said, citing sources in the region.
Tibetans in Ganzi prefecture are "known to be strong in their religious beliefs" and the region "has been very restive for some time, particularly since July", Saunders added.
Many Tibetans in China are angry about what they see as growing domination by the country's majority Han ethnic group.
Most of the suicide attempts have taken place around the Kirti monastery, which is also in Sichuan, and which has become a flashpoint for the mounting anger at the erosion of Tibetan culture.
All but two of the incidents occurred in Aba after Chinese authorities in late August jailed three monks for prison terms ranging from 11 to 13 years for their alleged involvement in the March death in Kirti.
Monks in Aba prefecture -- which borders Ganzi -- told AFP last month that the wave of self-immolations are linked to Beijing's refusal to engage with the Dalai Lama and allow the spiritual leader to return to his Tibetan homeland.
The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, founded a government in exile in the northern Indian town of Dharamshala after being offered refuge there.
He remains revered in China's Tibetan areas but is vilified as a "separatist" by China's communist authorities.
The Dalai Lama has long denied he is seeking an independent Tibet, but only desires greater autonomy for his homeland under Chinese rule.

Isreal is not going to go against Iran with any sort of weapons without clearing it with Washington first. Everyone knows this. Conventional weapons would not sufficiently cripple Iran, and nukes would a major disaster for US foreign policy throughout the region.
So all they will have is this war of words. Shouting stupid threats at each other, as always. Debkaflies needs some debkaddt sprayed on it. No one believes these fools anymore. They are the Little Boy that only knows how to cry wolf.
Israel will do what it has to do without checking with the boy president.

Obviously Cain isn't very serious about being president if he's 50 years behind on foreign policy and isn't bothering to try and catch up.
Jesus, imagine not knowing that China has had nukes for decades? Too busy harassing the women folk I guess.

and who did you vote for in 2008? Don't bother answering, it was Obama. Enough said.

This guy is running for president of the United States in a world that is fraught with danger and he doesn't know that China has had nuclear weapons for 50 years. That's bad, very bad.

We all know being a mulatto was all Obama needed to win the election back in 2008.
Will we eventually show some intrest in content of caricter?
You seem to be saying that we still care more about the color of the skin.
Positive or negative , that is wrong.
I'm not voting for Cain because he's black. I could care less what he looks like, what church he attends or doesn't. His character does matter to me. And if his campaign manager smokes that's OK too. I just like Herman Cain for who Herman Cain is.
Yes , me too. I find his biography compelling , his resume includes several skills I wish our leadership had more of and not least of all I appreaciate his roughhewn charm.
I don't actually think he is perfect , but I don't let perfection destroy good.
And another thing about Cain is he will do what's right for all Americans. With Obama it was clear to me from the beginning that he only cares about his group and to hell with you if you aren't in his group.
