On free rights: There was one time - one student was curious about other things like religious belief etc. The short conversion went like this:
He:"Are you a Buddhist?"
Me:"No, I'm Hindu .. but I like Buddhism more."
He:"??"
Me:"What , I don't understand your question"
He:"Why you do that?"
Me:"Do what?"
He:"Like Buddhism? while being Hindu"
Me:"Nothing wrong in it, I like teaching of Buddha"
He:"Lucky, you choose what you want. Here we can't openly tell we follow religion."
Me:"Why?"
He:"Our govt, won't allow such things."
we know Chinese communist party has strong influence in people way of life,but hugely disappointed to hear people can't even decide which religion to follow,if one wants to?
I agree, every country has its own issue, but free speech and free rights are important. For ex, If social media like Facebook/google etc banned in other countries, there will be huge uproar by people in the name of free speech. Even the one who never used social media, will be against govt decision.
Sincerely hope common people from world's most largest population will have these rights in future.
- trome 10y agoYour being a bit presumptuous there, in most Western countries they'd be able to block VK and other non-local sites without protests in the streets, and if they occured you'd see a significant portion of the country (esp. in the US) hoping for the police to come in and crush said protest. Depending on the subject, the protest can be crushed, hence why most public spaces in the US have been bricked over for easy protest breakup.
- mmirate 10y ago> bricked over for easy protest breakup What do you mean by this, exactly?
- trome 10y agoAt UW Seattle, they bricked over Red Sqare (and hence made it red) so that they could use water cannons on the protesters and they'd have nothing to firmly attach/affix themselves to, whether that be trees, stakes in the ground, etc. This was also done to many urban spaces and college campus squares at the same time, as it is very effective. Note: love the downvotes, keep 'em coming. I'm just referencing history here :P
