I Fear For This Young Lady In China.

[ladybirder]

What do you think?

[Ken4155]

Quite melodramatic and she's making a huge rod for her own back. Not the thing to do in China.

[Mamyalynne]

Wrenches your very soul to see someone so desperate, yes - she is in grave danger but has reached her absolute limit.

A place we can only begin to imagine and hopefully will never know.

[bookbinder]

If the Chinese authorities identify her, she will be in serious trouble.

[ladybirder]

She's very brave that's for sure.

[Ken4155]

There's often a very fine line between bravery and stupidity, LB. I very much doubt her lone voice will achieve anything.

Beware argumentum ad misericordiam, an appeal to pity.

Who is she, where did this video come from = originate, and how did Eric Fisher come to present it ?

It is a full hate piece on China, maybe justifiably, BUT some of us will always the sob story this liar-imposter spun


and 'the Maine' , and Powell's vial of anthrax at the UN, and the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Zinoviev Letter............................

Ah, I see, you can't post 2 youtube videos, OK understood.

Dan Rather above went on to be a Long term Media darling earning big buck$.

She was the tear jerking, heart rending total impostor

[Old_Geezer]

If one does not speak out then a few won't follow, and a multitude not follow them. Not everything can be about self preservation, or nothing ever changes.

We wish her luck and indeed success. Safety of a sort comes with global knowledge and recognition. If enough countries know to enquire it makes governments more hesitant to simply hit out and remove dissidents.

[sevenOP]

"We wish her luck and indeed success."

You know nothing about her, she could be a complicit actress.

[Old_Geezer]

Don't need to. There are enough saying similar, if less emotional to realise things are not going well. Do you not hear of the camps for those who don't comply, on the newssites etc. ?

[sevenOP]

"Don't need to. There are enough saying similar, if less emotional to realise things are not going well."

Is argumentum ad populum justification ?

Yes we hear a lot of things - this Forum is one example - doesn't mean they are true ..... as all the lies I posted above are 'testimony' to.

[Deskdiary]

Couldn’t care any less if I tried.

[Mamyalynne]

If the compassion I feel for this lady and others like her turn out to be misplaced sevenOP I shall bear my red faced embarrassment gladly.

[lady-janine]

I'm with Mamy.

[emmie]

impassioned and obviously true, i feel sorry for this woman caught up in this countries political fallout.

[Old_Geezer]

Refusing to believe sans evidence of any lies, could be applied anywhere. When so many claim and show issues, it's more reasonable to believe than deny.

[sevenOP]

"If the compassion I feel for this lady and others like her turn out to be misplaced sevenOP I shall bear my red faced embarrassment gladly."

I have no idea why you would feel embarrassed at empathizing with any good performance.

"impassioned and obviously true"

misguided naivety.

"Refusing to believe sans evidence of any lies, could be applied anywhere."

????? I have no real idea what you mean by that O_G, sounds a bit 'unknown unknowns' to me.
To me when I am presented with *alleged* 'evidence/testimony/facts' etc., maybe I have more choices than you ? ; I don't have to say "I believe' or "I don't believe", I have the choice - as in this case - of saying "I don't know"

"When so many claim and show issues"

Who claims? and what are they showing ?

[ladybirder]

Maybe we'll never know for sure.
