Excellent point! Hopefully not only can we enjoy democracy in Canada, but can enjoy it in China in near future as well.

I feel sorry for you and sincerely hope that your wounds have been healed completely.

I think you should feel sorry for 邓小平、薄熙来 and yourself, otherwise you will never heal your wounds, never.

Who said hatred? You sound like a Christian now. But I know you are not. :) How about a conscience? Some sympathy? Empathy?

You should feel sorry for 邓小平、薄熙来 and yourself, and many many others, that's the way you show your love if you have any.

So in order to cease your hatred, you should feel sorry for 邓小平、薄熙来 and yourself, and many many others, that's the way you show your love if you have any.

thank you for sharing, and for supporting. 中宣部统一口径，不搞“美式民主”，树个靶子，洗脑的时辰，容易入味，反感民主或者号称反感民运的ID，自我发挥，创造性地抛出原创名词，一个是伪民主，一个是民主革命派，狡辩的时辰，好把水搅浑。

The more you post, the more I feel you are the one I am writing about. "中国每一次的民主实验都是内战，饥荒，和无休无止的内斗". The problem lies in dictatorship itself, not in people's desire for democracy.

Regardless of what reality of China you believe in, there are "certain people" (in your words) are willing to give up life for something they think are dearer: dignity. That is something makes us, human beings, different from animals.

一个担当的人，一个成熟的人在做任何事情都要考虑what if，只有思维不健全的人或者别有用心的人才会不考虑what if，甚至打击那些提出what if 的人。

Although I don't understand exactly what you mean, I don't have the capability to "打击" anyone. You post whatever you want, I am merely disagreeing here, the same thing as you are doing here.

very well said! some of us never bother learning something new such as how their adopting society works (e.g. the jury system).

Do you know why in democracy, judicial system is a very costly process? That is exactly the precaution we need to take when deciding to take something (rights, freedom etc.) away from someone.Next time when you are given jury duty, do your best to give the guy a fair trial.

costly indeed, to the court and to the citizens. we should always wonder why it's worth the cost (or not).

In some, if not many, cases it is not. Or the three former Nortel executives would have been brought to justice. Interestingly they are free to go after ruined so many people's lives.

not you. the system is not rigid, and people are allowed to be exempted from duty for practical reasons...but we can afford time reading online and learning how it works.
-hsl(胡司令/bgk);
2013-1-15(#7999435@0)
just to clarify: people can still be excused for valid reasons; this is not the same as those automatically exempted due to certain professions.
-hsl(胡司令/bgk);

The letter should have a list of professions that are exempted. Hopefully you did read the letter thoroughly.

2013-1-15(#7999451@0)
Not one of those on the list of professions that are exempted.I just pretended to be biased, opinionated and somewhat unfriendly to certain people... Then I was free to go. That's not my intention but I had to put food on the table.

I won't say it fails. It is in process. So, instead of making yourself an obstacle, try to be a lubricant to something truly meaningful. It is guaranteed not to be an easy path with so many people like you.
