Nescience, none too selective

Tibet.

God god people are retarded. And now Facebook has made it even retardeder. Yes, "retardeder".

Some people like to rant how our generation is lazy and uncaring because we haven't had to fight for things like our parents did. An entire generation banded together to protest the Vietnam War, the Berlin Wall, to fight for the civil rights movement. And have we done? Little, if not nothing.


Well, I disagree.

That link above? It proves we're doing something.

But instead of joining our voices into a battle cry for genuine truth and justice, we are perverting the proud heritage our parents have built by making it into a popularity contest.

How many of those people actually know what the situation in Tibet is like?

Never mind the sensationalized pictures that the mass media likes to bombard our TVs, newspapers, and computer screens with.

How many people truly grasp the argument behind the call for independence?

How many people know the history of the land?

How many people know the Dalai Lama as someone other than that "speaker in the park"?

How many people realize the implications if independence was actually granted, and the gravity of their effects?


If a sampling of the event's wall is any indication, the outlook is dire.


It sickens me to realize that not only do we have to fight against those who seek to deny justice and fairness in the world, but also those who blindly wield their rhetoric in the name of something they don't actually understand.
