Is it because of what's going on in Tibet? I realize that a lot of people have no sympathy for the govt in Bejing, but they are sweethearts compared to the crew running Burma. The loss of life in China, not to mention the thousands buried alive, deserves some expression of sympathy. |
Eric..I started the Burma thread.
My father was killed there and I have friends who are Burmese.
Some clown asked would the collections tins come out again.
I was in China for three years and still communicate with friends there.
Starting a thread about anything other than local issues is frowned upon and for my pains the same clown and two of his fellow clowns left me bad Karma.
I will put the link on and see how people feel:
