Do you know that in China, the people don't even know that whole tank scene happened? I was there back in September and spoke to quite a few locals (educated and not so educated alike) who say that tourists speak about it all the time but they know nothing about it, as if it didn't happen. The rulers and internet monitors shut down EVERY single image and ban those who try to post or show ANY type of uprising or revolution...How sad.

Good thing WE don't live in a world like that....right?

    First of all, we do live in a world like that. You just may not live in a territory like that. Secondly, while this website is headquartered and operates out of the States, it's users are worldwide.

    That's all for semantics.

    So you are saying that, in China, they will just "disappear" offending posts against mistakes that the government has made in order to maintain control even if the mistake could easily be remedied?
