      That sucks. Slavery is the worst. Is that why China controls Tibet?

        Yes, idiot. The provisional government refused to abandon slavery and started shelling hospitals about it

          Pardon my ignorance, I can think of lots of colonies that could also have been justified under similar reasoning

            Like the British colony of Tibet, perhaps?

            Your ignorance is not pardoned, because you decided to shoot off anyway despite knowing nothing of the players or motives involved. No investigation, no right to speak

              Well it was worth a try. When do you think the Tibetans will be civilized and cavalier of self-governance?
