Reggie29 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 'peace and love' sounds great until a jack-booted thug drags you from your home and tortures you, then it is no longer so easy to say 'stuff the politics'...ask the people of Lebanon. If it's so bad why don't the Chinese people do something about it? I mean there's only 2 billion of 'em over there! Here's a thought why don't you go over and sort them out? If you want to discuss it further go to the Ramble On forum. This topic is about, arguably the greatest musician of modern times performing to a massive world audience, not for posting grievances about any regime, past or present. Please enjoy the rest of the nights activities. You need coolin......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeangel Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Naturally no Chinese person may enjoy hearing such reportage, unfortunately the world knows too well about China's human rights abuses and its brutal occupation of Tibet. Jimmy too would have been aware, that is why it is particularly difficult to accept his willing association, Steven Speilberg of course pulled out of his troubling collaboration with communist China, on grounds of concerns about its human rghts record, what a pity Jimmy did not decline this poison chalice. the Hey guy,do you still live in the cold-war time? Please wake up from your own dream, open your eyes and have a look at the world around. If you really want to criticize China, please spend some time in researching and understanding of its culture, its history and its achivements toward modernization. However, maybe it's too difficult for you:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gseehq Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 i dont think jimmy performing at the handover ceremony has ANYTHING to do with china actually.....its all about the london 2012 games, thats all. So, appearing inside Beijing's Olympic stadium with the active support, permission and organisation of communist China's regime has nothing whatsoever to do wth the Chinese regime? If you really believe this, and as a Zepp fan can understand why you choose to rationalise away this unpleasant event, then you are clearly unaware of the simple fact that nothing can happen inside China without the involvement of the communist authorities. Wake up people! Why do you think the lyrics to WLL have been diluted for this performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
