Re: Look familiar?

I can't believe the number of clueless and outright ignorant post about the Tiananmen Square massacre. It's true that many unarmed peaceful people were gunned down or crushed by vehicles. Thousand of people died prostesting the corruption and malfesence of government officials out of control but that guy who risked his life and limb to stop the column of tanks is most likely alive and living somewhere in China.

It took me ten minutes of searching to find this article that mentions the name of the student who stopped those tanks. His name is Wang Weilin. He did a very brave thing, standing at the head of that tank column.

Not only do you guys need to get a grip on history but you also need to get a better perspective on politics and governments in general. All that torture stuff for political protest is strictly Hollywood.

ok lets put it in a simple way for you to understand.

He was executed!

Did you even bother to read what you spent 10 minutes researching....its obvious you didnt...since then you would not have repeated a name a Tabloid used and you would have read that he was EXECUTED....however they were not sure how that was done....some say firing squad.....I dont think you understand communism if you think that man was just let to go free....

Re: Look familiar?

Maybe he was not refering to you? Do'h it's bloody amazing. At the fist place I thought it was Americans again. Because they don't even know if Denmark is the capital of Copenhagen or it's the other way around.

You need to shut up and stop being a pretentious little prick. Just because you're from Europe and know a moment in history that any normally educated person knows, and know the capital of your country, does not somehow make you an expert on geography nor a history major. This is not directed at Europeans who do not hold these prejudices, but some of you guys need to realize that your feces does not smell sweeter than anyone else's. Hard fact to face, I know.

I bet you couldn't name the capitals of 10 of our states without using some sort of reference.

Re: Look familiar?

Tiananmen Square was the first thing that came to my mind. Not much worse than quoting Thomas Jefferson and getting tortured & killed. God damn Chinese communist bastards. Some day the communist chiefs will get what's coming to them by their own people. This place is long overdue for a revolution.

For anyone who has never stepped foot outside of US soil this is a grim reminder that corrupt, unjust governments exist around the world to this day. Freedom cannot be taken for granted. Once you leave this place you'll know what I mean.

From what I understand the families of the executed get sent a bill for the bullet(s)? - Nice touch..... I also wonder what happened to the tank driver - never gets mentioned much.
Don't get into a debate on national identities (Denmark/Copenhagen etc) - love your own country and tolerate those who are ignorant about it. Let your actions when overseas educate others - travel will show you why you should love your own country, and hopefully educate you why people love theirs as well. Stop crapping on others because they don't know about you.

Its not our fault that "americans" are famus and known by their bad geography.....more than 50% of the americans that answered a study about iraq didn't know to poit its location on a map before war started .........
why is america so tecnologicly advanced .....man ..America is full of european scientists and all that stuff ....robotic arms for the space shuttles are made here in PORTUGAL with our technology....and i bet that most of the americans only know were is portugal because you have a military base in this little country that discovred ALL THE AMERICAN CONTINENT long time ago....~

that screen of the day its realy cool...
