I think this premiered on MTV back in 1999. I may be thinking of Woodstock '99. Man, I'm old.

What people always tend to forget is that Tibetans had yet been enslaved before the chinese invasion - by a powerful and brutal theocratic aristocracy led by a god king(the dalai lama) who built golden palaces while his subjects were starving. How does that make someone the earthly incarnation of peace and harmony? Buddhism sucks.

this is bullcrap! enslaved is not true! it was a theocratic system but there were no slaves and that system couldnt be that harsh! the myth of how china "liberated" tibetans can be debunked by the 17 point agreement for the peaceful liberation of tibet, sealed in Beijing on 23 May 1951, where point # 4 clearly states: "The central authorities will not alter the existing political system in Tibet. The central authorities also will not alter the established status, functions and powers of the Dalai Lama. Officials of various ranks shall hold office as usual." does the liberation and slave lie makes sense if you dont alter the slave system and leave all the powers to the so called slave master?? of course not! another lie about tibet, made in china... FREE TIBET!

But you will acknowledge there were harsh famines, right? And that the ruling monks didn't exactly share their wealth with the hoi polloi? I'm not saying the Chinese system isn't total crap, but romanticizing the feudal rule of past centuries just isn't that smart. It's like left-wingers standing up for Irish catholics(that are anything but progressive).
