A Call to Boycott Dr. Strange

@CrappyNappy - thanks but I can't use the block button on you.

@Baf - Thanks man! BLOCKED

@nibs - I doubt it will make main...no advertising...ironic

@Baf - You have a point in the Ancient One's ethnicity and could've made a good article on that. However, how is Tibet better now? People in there can get educated, people can live an actual life, people in Tibet can actually own property. People in Tibet have basic rights. I am in no way sanctioning China, all I am saying is that in spite of everything they have done in regards to human rights - Tibet is not one of those instances.

@Baf - Look, I'm Canadian so I can't judge any of that American booshit but I have read articles accounting for both sides. I do not deny that the government of China has done horrible things, but even the Dalai Llama admits that Tibet was a shitty place before Chinese invasion. Why does he want Tibet back? He was like six years old when they kicked him out, I'm sure he thinks he can do better than those before him but the point is the Chinese were hailed as saviors when they invaded.

You know all those people who say Free Tibet? Those are all the Dalai Llama's followers, or the top 5%. The other 95% don't speak, because in spite of what China may have done to them - they are happier now than they were before.

You definitely have a point regarding the race swap, but when you bring up China's invasion of Tibet you are completely in the wrong. Tibet was not a peaceful nation, do you know how many Llama's assassinated each other for power? People would have their limbs publicly torn off for stealing, wives would be left naked out to die of frostbite for things that cannot even be called crimes. Corruption was rife everywhere.

What did you say about Tibet? Rich in art, religion and culture. You must be referring to all the peaceful monks who lived in the Potala Palace and all those other fancy houses. Knock knock. There were more shoddy rundown sheds operating houses of more than seven than there were palaces. Those palaces housed the 5% who protest China today.

Llamas taxed everything. When I mean everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Oh and debt passed on to family if you die. If you try to leave, well, if you escape fine. If they catch you, get ready for some good old torture. If peace includes gouging eyes, forceful amputation and removal of a dissidents tongue then man has the definition of peace changed.

When you make a point about Tibet, don't make it a political one because face it, Tibet is better under China than it was under the monks.

@Baf - See, your point about changing the ethnicity of a character should have been just that You should not have brought up points like:

"You see, until 1949, Tibet was an independent Buddhist nation in the Himalayas. The once peaceful nation, rich in art, religion, and culture was invaded by the communist Chinese culminating in the complete overthrow of the Tibetan government. With that overthrow, over a million Tibetan's have been killed, natural resources have been depleted, art, literature has been destroyed, even local wildlife is on the brink of extinction. In fact, Tibet itself is on the brink of extinction. Mainly because any peaceful protest is received with arrest, incarceration, and frequently torture. There is no freedom of speech, forced abortions, 80% deforestation, nuclear and toxic waste waste dumping, basically every crime against human rights is committed there.

So what happened to the Tibetan government? Well, the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and political leader fled to India in 1959. He lives among 100,000 refugees in exile. China has not officially claimed sovereignty by conquest over Tibet which still holds its statehood under illegal occupation. China continues to flood Tibet with settlers which now out number Tibetans 7-1."

When much of that is wrong. I'm not going to say all of it is wrong, there are some points in it but most of that is wrong. If you wanted to make a political point, you should have made it off of true facts, not the story of the 5% and a man who was six years old when all of this happened.

@Yaf - If my facts are wrong than I will admit it. Most of my fact based research came from a paper published by U Mas. However I have to say that if the facts in the paper are wrong than it only stands to solidify my argument about not rewriting history.
