What if this is just Falun Gong propaganda? This story should be brought front and center to the world community and on site inspections demanded and independent inquiry obtained before we go off the deep end, it seems to me. If the Chinese are willing to open up and let the world see and they find nothing, it will certainly be a useful lesson in how easily deceived people are. You do see, I hope, that you are more than ready and willing to hate the Chinese. That is, of course, insane.
It's kind of depressing how much people appear to want to believe this. Do they really look at China as some kind of evil presence? This source is far from credible. I don't believe the Chinese government is so evil and stupid to engage in such activities. This is nothing more than a conspiracy theory from a cult propaganda tabloid.
I suppose Tiananman Square was made up, too?
You know perfectly well that this kind of a rebuttal is no rebuttal at all any more than iprophet's inane comment about bodies on somebody's door. I would like to see a careful investigation of this possibility, not a hysterical acceptance or rejection of it. The problem that I seek to identify here is the obvious and ridiculous willingness to run with any horror story that pops up the moment it does pop up. There are a lot of people here who are pre-programmed to hate the Chinese it looks like to me. I see fear and nothing else, fear and the need to kill that fear with violence. I call that reaction insane. When the evidence for this practice in China is clearly shown to be real and government sanctioned and people are jumping up and down that it needs to be ignored because of trade and other political considerations, I will be here, God willing of course, to also call that insane. But I am not going to dive off a tall building with every horror story that comes along.
My statement on
dead bodies on somebodies door was not directed at the poster not believing if the events are true(which I agree with you should be investigated further) but the statement I personally would care less about Death Row inmates.
All one has to do today is label someone a criminal, terrorist, heretic,
death row inmate ,etc. in order to find acceptable that which we would be outraged against.
