  1. This is when we need, George Carlin.

  2. Don’t worry, China is still working on it.

  3. What’s great about Xi’s peace proposal. Is it emphasizes respecting sovereignty and borders. Can you imagine the relief in Taiwan!! Even possibly Tibet, and Xinjiang.

  4. Don’t forget, the horrendous numbers, of by gun suicide. That is rarely talked about.

  5.  @JohnStockton7459  Because he was a public figure. Who was damn good, at calling out hypocrisy.

  6. There is hope, for China, and the world. “The people lose respect for the institutions. They cease to exist”

  7.  @robsonmaquival5137  If you’ve been following any of this. The Ukraine, is a much smaller country than Russia. It has far less resources, to defend itself. Compared to what Russia has. Think of what Taiwan has to do. To defend itself, from an aggressive China.

  8. The 50cent army, is out in force here.

  9. It is also cultural. The Swiss, have lots of guns. But for them, it isn’t a toy.

  10. Same in Hong Kong, recently.

  11. If a presidential candidate, can’t handle being quoted. Can only take softball questions. Are they leadership material?
    6
  12. True. Then they will say, it's proof their rights were violated.

  13. Half the population, have their hands over their ears.  Can we get a leader that inspires civil discourse, brings people together, to face the big problems in the world. We are heading into rough times.

  14. My joke is. I was married into a wealthy family for 27 years. Then after, paid her support. Even though, i lost my home, and job.

  15. Today in occupied Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, what is happening?

  16. Xi’s plan has a few points, about respecting sovereignty, and borders. Imagine the relief, in Taipei. Not to live under constant threat, and coercion.

  17. It could be the Jiang faction, stirring up trouble. What’s left of the opposition, that hasn’t been jailed.

  18. Don’t forget Taiwan. Also very important.

  19. Most of those places, you don't get close to ever voting.

  20. The joke is, that's an average house in Toronto.

  21. If what you can say do and think. Is controlled, by widespread surveillance. And a social credit score. Be smart, look after yourself, don’t go.

  22. Until there is freedom for the people in the occupied territories. No one is free. Good luck.

  23.  @Liboch  I get what you are saying. The threat is constant, and persistent. But the Taiwanese, seem to have learned to live with it. The CCP, does use bluster as a leading talking point. Having been recently to Taiwan, before HK, and China. With family in China. Taiwan culture, is amazing in contrast. The people are polite, and grounded. It is a high trust, and considerate society. Of course it isn't ideal, no place is. The Chinese and others there, did not experience the soul crushing Mao era, onward. My wife is visiting family in Beijing right now. She is meeting up with old school, college, and work friends. She is very disappointed, in what they re all interested in. Money, seems to be the only thing they care about. It's like they have lost their soul. Another thing about Taiwan, they keep a low profile. If you speak out, china has a hammer, cuts you off. I could not find any pro Taiwan T-shirts, no Taiwan for ever, Taiwan freedom, kind of things. Only saw the flag, on a few places. But , don't mistake that, for a lack of pride, and determination.

  24. There is that. But the main reason is. There are billions of us, consuming the planet. Just your clothing, comes from a farm, or oil, then a dirty factory. All our agriculture, displaces the best natural places.

  25. Or just poo.

  26. Even more serious, is Mao 2.0. Protect the South China Sea countries, and Taiwan.

  27. George Carlin’s canon, for president. No BS. Either side.

  28. A fellow Canadian here. Last summer my wife and I met up in Montreal, for a romantic getaway. We absolutely loved Quebec, and its people. We Canadians, have been sleeping for a long time. Trade with the USA is so easy. Being smothered by their commercial culture, has diminished us. Time to wake up, and run the rapids.

  29. Taiwan, to Xi.

  30. While we are all watching Ukraine/Russia. China just cut both internet cables, to one of Taiwan’s islands. Hello, news, hello??
    2
  31. How the heck, do you target something, 30 kilometres away?
    2
  32. Let’s not forget, that China is in our media. Stirring as much decent, as they can.

  33. The countries of the South China Sea, and Taiwan, need security guarantees too. If we want world peace.
    2
  34. You the people, the everyman. Bring back the USA we used to know. A strong honest fair benevolent but tough love, world leader. If you push the world away. China, and the axis of “evil” will try to eat all of us.

  35.  @AravindKumar-nf2uu  Ask a Tibetan, or Uighur, if they are enjoying the occupation.

  36. Don’t forget, the independent country of Taiwan.

  37. Don’t let the extremes, control the narrative. Heal the country.

  38.  @neepers  Not to mention, that the party has completely, rewritten there history.
    2
  39. Just for fun, think about this. The regime, has a clear history, of how they view women, and they're fertility. It won't be your choice.
    2
  40.  @thomasaquinas157  Or of the extent of the shutdowns, or their own history. The occupied territories!!

  41.  @anndelacruz1986  Butterflies, is one thing. But if you are worried about a controlling partner. Who doesn't respect your views now. When you would expect them to be on good behaviour. You know it will be impossible to leave, once you have a beautiful baby.  I'm particularly sensitive to this kind of dynamic. My father was a handsome, charming, smart, well loved man, in his community. But at home, he was crazy jealous, and controlling of my mom. In an affluent western country, that was her home. She still found it impossible to leave. What ever you decide. Don't ever, let yourself become someones possession. Mutual respect, or nothing. You sound like a genuine person. Keep your inner light shining.

  42. There is a huge gap, between bias, and absolute control.

  43. So, how do the people of Iran, change their government? If they can’t vote. It was good of the interviewer, to mention, the camps in China. We should never forget. When we buy things, what we are supporting.

  44. Xi.

  45. How many suicide’s?

  46.  @doctorno3912  It’s called deflection.

  47. They don’t want to become organ donors.

  48. Here we go. He is a victim, for being as ass.

  49.  @mattrogers5188  Hey, but the top %.1, looted the store. That’s good, right??

  50. How dare they. Only the government, can speak for the people.
