Thread Name: Björk said free Tibet and the china ....
Subject: RE: Björk said free Tibet and the china ....
What good does it do to criticise China while sitting in Iceland? Who's going to cover the story? No one. We're talking about this aren't we? Would this thread have been started if Bjork had made her comments in Iceland? NO. If you oppose the corruption in the first place you speak out whenever and where ever you can. Even if it makes people uncomfortable. Does that make any sense to you?

To use your analogy - you go to a party at someones house and they start to tell jokes using words like "fag" and "nigger". Do you keep quiet about it? Or do you tell the host they are being offensive?
