yeah, apparently there is satellite evidence that they are burning villages to the ground over there, and setting up prison camps.....
not good at all...

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

alot of people want peace in Burma, our goverment in the States is too obsessed with IRAQ and wouldn't dream of spending some time in Burma to help the UN, pacify the fighters, and mend peace.
Bush just said recently said, not spending 22 billion on America--because he needed 220 billion on the war.
I doubt we will be doing much over there, unfortunatly.
If we do it will be little in comparison to what our full potential could help.
I wonder how long it will be before the News filters filter out Burma News.

The Chinese government supports this shit! We need to boycott the Olympics!
The thing is, both the Russians and the Chinese don't want this thing to escalate, because at least China wants to be seen as a responsible nation, at least before the 2008 Olympics. But, both countries support the military government in Burma, they don't want the Buddhist supported revolution to succeed, due to fact that this may give ideas to their (at least China) own religious based dissident groups.
Fuck the Chinese government!
Also China has other reaons for not wanting this thing to escalate. They want their region to be stable, because they've got enough internal problems.

In the end for China and India, it's about the resources. Both countries has extensive energy deals with Burma.
Let's hope this shit don't turn into a proxy war for India and China.
Let's hope the Chinese can convince the Burma miltary government to not fuck this shit up.

That was well thought out and clearly stated. Are you able to get to a protest site? Can you participate bodily in this? I won't be able to but boy would I!

Where are my idealistic I wanna change the world buddies out there? Can you get to a site on Sat OCTOBER 6th '07 between 12:00pm ans 2:00pm in London, NY or Vancouver? There are several other cities 'round the world mentioned in the wiki-article I posted at the beginning of this thread. If it's something that speaks to ya somehow and if you can get there. Think of me and how I wish I could be standing there in the crowd making a noise in the universe like in the children's picture book: Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss Peace NOW!

You're nearly causing me a facial tick...
THINK...doesn't this sound like Poland and London during WW2? London, US Canada, Germany...are all speaking out against this and you...um stay possibly "Jaded"? Man..you gave it a capital in your quote, I didn't...Freud would have a blast with that typo...but seriously....prioritize...if you can join as one voice to say "To hell with the Junta" the way we woulda shoulda coulda about Nazi-ism why shouldn't we if we can? If it speaks to one's soul...
Did you look closely at the link I posted?

Have you only just noticed Myanmar in the last ten days?
I've been watching what's going on there for the last 15 or 20 years, having a friend from Burma kindled my interest. The events of the last week are nothing new and like I said, nothing will change, it never does.
China has by far the most influence over what happens in Burma, China has absolutely no interest in supporting democratic change in Myanmar.

Hey guys, come on man, ya know like, about this Burma shit right? Shit man, they got like, some mad terrible stuff happening to them,and like, that doesn't vibe well with the earth and its resonance, the micro-frequencies of love. We got to get up and try and protest this, lets all like, ya know, ha wait, ya know, get in our bus man, and then drive over to this protest shit and yell man, yea itll be fuckin profound.
We have to stop this shit, cause like, one time I heard about this group called the Nazi's. I think they were like, something to do with world war two where US and germany took on i think italy, anyways the details are irrelevent. But like, this situation here is kinda reminding me of the Nazi's because like, I had heard, that they were all restricting some freedoms,and these Burma cats are all about that shit too apparently. And who knows, maybe soon they will start invading other countries and then world war 3 man, its totally possible. And then we have a draft, and the world gets thrown back to the dark ages, its all a sign man. World War 2 lasted 6 years, and look its 2007, 6 years till 2012 man, does that shit blow your mind? Oh wait, 5 years till 2012, meaning,holy shit, meaning, in 6 years a new consciousness man, like the aftermath of the war just like in world war 2. Philosophy is crazy man, wait what was I talking about?

HaAAaaaaa Your tactics to bring this to nuttiness was right on!
Perhaps the cutie with the white puppy is a girlie who won't get drafted anyway...so she doesn't care but no b/f or brothers? How sad. 
LOL 
Or, perhaps the puppy owner is in an insane asylum (with internet privileges one hour a day, ha!) and will never be drafted due to some chronic lack of compassion that led to his shooting his whole family to death in their beds one night, oh, it's along story that can wait but remind me about it k?...now that's a feasible guess why the human right violations don't bug ya! DAMNdest thing the draft. DAMNdest!
The questions remain: Don't we still smell a draft even if not over this specific area of the world? Do you feel it is ever a good thing?

How they are similar? Did you read the wiki-article? Did you read it through? If not, please do so and then ask that again and I'll tackle it at that time. I'm dead tired after emailing all night about this and other heavy stuff going down in my personal life with my 2 teens. Oh Lawd save us! My sister comforts me...she reminded me that grandchildren are God's reward for NOT killing your teen-agers.
Wise words man... peace.

Yes, I am aware of the atrocities which have sent refugees running over the years but please read the article from wiki man...this is like...really coming to a head...please read it and then comment that nothing will change...it's CHANGING but not necessarily towards democracy! We're talking bashing the heads of Monks against the walls of the monasteries, curfew violators shot in the street, internet access cut off so to stop pics from getting out etc. etc. etc. 
China, according to this link is encouraging the country to adopt a democratic gvt. I read the quote from their gvt rep and was shocked. If it's so, that'd be because...why? Why d'you think they'd do that?
Curious to know so share your educated thoughts...after you read the link if you please. MIC

A Facebook users group, Support the Monks' protest in Burma, was formed immediately following the first network reports of monks marching past Aung San Suu Kyi's house. The group grew to over 230,000 members by October 1. The group is calling for a global expression of solidarity through public demonstrations on October 6 in cities and towns worldwide.
