Glad to see Communism "allow" the use of freedom of speech.

Can you imagine a banner like that flying on a building in the US? There would be war on the streets...over the banner.

SnF Jude. Another excellent report from you my ambitious fellow member.
I'm with you on the J.D. as I absolutely love the stuff. But I had to set down some rules for my bad self since the last time I had some. I got a lil outta hand in one of my own threads. Had to make apologies and everything !
So i can only have one if I'm typing. If I poor a second one I ban myself like this:
You are 86ed for the night Randy ! You don't have to go home, but you cant stay here !edit on 16-9-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

Hey Jude11, this is a very interesting issue that I have done some reading on here of late. In my research there are several things that just don't really add up in my head and I question. Perhaps you or some of the other posters in your thread here can assist me with understanding.
1. These islands were recently purchased from a private Japanese family by the Japanese government. I understand that, but who did the family purchase it from? I would assume the Japanese government since in my reading I have learned that in 1972, when the Chinese and Japanese established 'friendly' diplomatic relations, the US actually held these islands for a brief time while the negotions were going on. When diplomacy was reached the US turned these islands back over to the Japanese government.
2. If these islands were really such a bone of contention, I would have thought there would have been some provision made in any diplomatic agreements concerning them to prevent this kind of situation arising in the first place.
3. Let's not forget that Taiwan is in this mix as well, as they are laying claim to those islands as being part of their property as well. What the appeal for these little islands that are basically not worth much to begin with is puzzling to me.
I just am having a really hard time with all the stuff and nonsense going on in the world at the moment. People are so willing to resort to mindless rioting and violence over things that I would more readily expect to see on an elementary school playground. "He called me names and insulted me!!"..... "Thats my crayon. No! It's MY crayon. Is not... Is too!!! I'M TELLING!!"...
I think I may just sit in with you and Mr. Daniels for a lengthy discussion on this topic(s)..... I hope you don't mind if I bring along my friend Jose Cuervo.
The Liancourt Rocks, also known as Dokdo or Tokto (독도/獨島, literally "solitary island") in Korean, and Takeshima (たけしま/竹島?, literally "bamboo island") in Japanese,[1] are a group of small islets in the Sea of Japan (East Sea). Sovereignty over the islets is disputed between Japan and South Korea. South Korea classifies the islets as Dokdo-ri,[2] Ulleung-eup, Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province. Japan classifies them as part of Okinoshima, Oki District, Shimane Prefecture.

Japan is obviously responsible for everything that's going wrong in China....
Why not?
People use that excuse about the US all day every day...
In other words, it's going to get a lot more complicated. And whether we like it or not, Washington is involved.

Hard to believe that they are all communist too.

agenda.
They have recently changed their laws, to state that Chinese citizens that live abroad will need Visa to enter their own home country.
