Tibet controversy

[wasder]

Reason for what?

 

Our support of Tibet, of China? What?

 

I personally think they should have been able to retain their independence.

 

Cheers.

 

My stance on these types of "issues" is simple.

If you cannot maintain your independance or freedom, you do not deserve it.

There are no "rights". They do not exist. The concept exists. Rights do not.

There are only abilities.

For elaboration, see my sig.

=D

 

What a horribly skewed view of the world you have there. "Trample the weak" What a nice idea. I won't go into all the arguments against it, but suffice to say, it's very wrong. I disagree massively with what you have said. Everyone deserves their freedom. According to your argument here you support slavery. Nice.

 

The only slaves are those who've allowed themselves to become enslaved. Whether or not you support slavery is beside the point. It has always been around and always will be.

Darwin was right.

Survival of the fittest. Disagree all you want. Doesn't change the fact. Accept your monkey nature. =D

O for christs sake. Darwin was right. The theory of evolution. Darwin never actually said survival of the fittest. To presume that just because someone is weak that we should simply ignore them is an evil idea. Here in the UK we a have a fine mess called the national Health service. Everyone pays taxes that goes into it to help the sick. We help each other. Helping the weak. Just because someone has a disease is it their fault? Should we simply ignore someone's plight?

We do not have a monkey nature. We have A Human nature. It is unique. We possess greater intellect and we use it. We love, hate, fear and do everything else that makes us human. Not robots, or chimps. Now we are very off topic here aren't we?

[Relax and Play]

Nature is not black and white - literature's perception of nature is a painfully inaccurate generalization.

 

'Survival of the fittest' is not the do-all, end all rule.

 

Humans are not the only species to show empathy and altruism - that is, we are not the only species who forgives an obvious flaw.

 

Far as Tibet independence goes - I can say nothing, as I know too little about the relationship between Tibet and China to state an educated opinion.

You're right. The Third Law of Thermodynamics is the end-all be-all rule. Seeing as how extinction is the only outcome, why do anything, ever?

I prefer not to waste resources on the non-productive.

If Tibet cannot free it's self, that's tough cookies. It's not the end of the world. I have my own monkey troop to worry about. I could care less about theirs.
