HOLY CARP!!!
So the democracy-loving folks in Hong Kong have been protesting some undemocratic rules that Communist China imposes on them. There have been "occupy"-style protests and forceful suppressions of such protests. What do you think we should do about it?

We should send all of our "occupy"-style protesters there to help our friends.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I voted other because there ought to be some positive options included from which we can choose. I leave it to you to provide potentially positive actions. :biggrin:

Make sure they take those stupid drum circles along.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Throw in those dipshit "re-enactors" who obtain city permits to discard their own tea into America's waterfronts in some poorly misguided attempt at protest and you got yourself a deal.
