Roll it Up!

…Fuck them. With their torch.

Just sayin’.

“There’s a Chinese saying: river water and well water don’t mix,” said Rose Pak, the general consultant to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which supports the relay. “You do your thing, and we do our thing. Why is it you have to disrupt our celebration, when none of us went and disrupted their celebration?”

Ms. Pak and other Chinese-American leaders here are particularly vexed at the actions of the city’s Board of Supervisors, which voted on April 1 to condemn China’s human rights record. Chris Daly, the supervisor who wrote the resolution, went further on Monday, posting a blog entry calling on followers to “build on the message that’s been delivered” in Paris and London.

Human Rights Violations

Human Rights Violations

Violence Against Women: According to some researchers, spousal abuse is far too common and, in many parts of the country, still socially acceptable. However, comprehensive statistics about the extent of domestic violence are not available or have not been made public. The official All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) has been studying this problem and seeking solutions.

Few battered women have the opportunity to escape abuse, because shelters and other resources are not available. Women are under considerable social pressure to keep families together regardless of the circumstances. Legal action is not taken against batterers unless the victim initiates it, and if she withdraws her testimony, the proceedings are ended.

Abduction and Trafficking of Women: Trafficking and sale of women as brides or into prostitution is a serious problem in certain parts of China, and Chinese women have been sold into brothels in Southeast Asia. The PRC government has enacted various laws to combat the sale of women, but the statistics released by the government do not reliably indicate the scale of the problem. PRC officials stated that there were 15,000 cases of kidnapping and trafficking in women and children in 1993. Yet according to one estimate, 10,000 women were abducted and sold in 1992 in Sichuan Province alone.

The Chinese government clearly supports a culture of death. Repeatedly poisoning their own people and people around the world with products containing un-ingestible materials.
The one instance that stands out in my mind is the Melamine poisoning of the pet food. The Chinese gov’t arrested their food and drug chief, then executed him. Like they were sacrificing him to us. Filthy fucking little pigs. No respect for life. I would have felt better if they executed themselves.
And they have the nerve to play the victim when they get protested?
I got a protest for you, China. FREE TIBET YOU PYGMY FUCKS!

Violations Against Female Children: The one-child policy, in conjunction with the traditional preference for male children, has led to a resurgence of practices like female infanticide, concealment of female births and abandonment of female infants. Female children whose births are not registered do not have any legal existence and therefore may have difficulty going to school or receiving medical care or other state services. The overwhelming majority of children in orphanages are female and/or mentally or physically handicapped.

The one-child policy has also contributed to the practice of prenatal sex identification resulting in the abortion of female fetuses. Although the government has outlawed the use of ultrasound machines for this purpose, physicians continue the practice, especially in rural areas. Thus, while the average worldwide ratio of male to female newborns is 105/100, Chinese government statistics show that the ratio in the PRC is 114/100 and may be higher in some areas.

All the facts about China are HERE.

As China poisons our food, pet food, and toys our children play with, we need to observe two very important things…

1) Who will protect our children from poisoned toys.

2) And who won’t.
