My country is terrific.

The constitution for my country is excellent.

Too bad the leaders are liars and incompetent - and their actions are contrary to the constitution.

I love my country - but I'm ashamed of it's leaders. Too bad.

hello J@n@

Of course Germany is not poor. It's one of the countries where everybody is rich, just because they live here. The food has better quality, the streets are very clean, the houses are firmer, the air is clean... You are still young- If you grow up more, you will see that Germany is one of the best organized countires in the world. Better food, quality, building, infrastructure etc.

J@n@, I don't know what people in small villages do, because China is so big that policy normally concentrates itself on big cities like Peking or Shanghai or XiAn etc. So I can't say whether the police does right things there.

But what you have to know: Why is propaganda done? (Like the demonstration by falungong people) It's because they want to achieve something, like they want to achieve you, who doesn't know that much about the situation, to support them. Falungong isn't a bad religion, but it says that work and earn money is not important and that the most important thing is the next life, to provide the "falun" (it's something like a spiritual wheel) to continue running. It's one branch of Qi-Gong but why it got blocked was because of some of it's theories.

For example they say: If you are ill, you musn't eat any medicaments, to provide the falun (wheel) go it's way. Many people who do falungong made suicide, because in falungong people say that the greatest aim in life is the death. Ok, the falungong people said that the guys who made suicide are not "real" scholars, but the aim of the government was to protect it's people, right?
