And anyway, all that the text you have copy-pasted from the Tibet campaign's website says is that Tibet was independent, and is not anymore. Which is not something anyone would dispute.

Much of my above post is taken from; http://www.savetibet.org/resource-center/all-about-tibet/china-tibet-a-brutal-occupation
It is a statement of fact and not opinion and as such I didn't feel it needed statement of source, I could have put it in quotation marks, but as I have made additions that would have been clumsy and incorrect.
Yes. But all it says is that Tibet was independent, and now isn't. It also says that the Chinese government is a brutal one - which I have never denied.
There does seem to be little on Tibet's history before the occupation. On grounds of self-determination I'd rather China left Tibet. Even if they have brought prosperity, or at least improved conditions relative to 1959, that could be the base on which an independent Tibet could build. Or at least a Tibet that doesn't feel oppressed, in like manner to Kong Kong, as apparently the Dalai Lama is calling for.
Kong Kong??? Hong Kong. Obviously. Or King Kong. Or something.
Khandro - “... birdie; I didn't realise you were such a supporter of the actions of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, Beijing will be delighted...”

I didn't realise you were such a cretin. How you can leap to the conclusion that I am a supporter of the Chinese communist party because I dispute your politically skewed version of the history of Tibet is quite astonishing.

Just so we're clear, I am not a supporter of the Chinese communist party. I am however a supporter of telling the truth. I do not support spreading falsehoods and attempting to rewrite history to suit my own political views. It would seem that you are.

Furthermore, your rather silly and transparent 'copy and paste' job without attribution is in Goodlife territory. To try and excuse it by saying, “... It is a statement of fact and not opinion and as such I didn't feel it needed statement of source, I could have put it in quotation marks, but as I have made additions that would have been clumsy and incorrect...” is itself clumsy at best and dishonest at worst.

birdie, you are priceless, - may your shadow never grow smaller. :-)
I don't think I've ever been patronised so overtly.

Hey, ho. Please let me know when you can construct a coherent argument about this (or anything else for that matter).
