    Well then I suppose I'll see what happens.


    I just find the constant commentary from (some) people that the PLA will be down in HK any day now to wreck the place to be a bit ghoulish, almost as if they want to see it happen. Apart from the airport, there has not been a massive disruption on people's lives from these protests (yet).

    I find it odd how Irish people are treating this so glibly.

    If it were palestine etc can you imagine?

    I don't know if you're saying that I'm being glib here, but I'm certainly not. I live in Hong Kong.

    :confused:

    There is no mask.

    Its a valid question. Why the disparity in reaction?

    I think the mask for some'activists' is slipping meaning they don't want to boycott their source of phones.

    I know harvesting organs from living people is wrong.

    I've been there. I have close family friends who are hongkongese.

    You couldn't possibly understand. You are not hongkongese.

    For all I know you are a chinese govt troll.

    And you can stop pretending you are a white Irish person living in HongKong posting on Boards about palestine. Its ridiculous.

    I would think you would have other things to worry about.

    Wait.. You wonder why there's no reaction from the Irish to this? (though you don't live here so you wouldn't know) yet at the same time tell an Irish person they couldn't possibly understand what's going.
    Daft.

    My mistake.

    Well i have been there. I have family friends there. My family helped some of theirs get Irish citizenship. My brother went to school with them.

    Their family took my brother and his friends to hong kong for three months to stay in their house.

    Their children were all born here. But the parents still live in hong kong.

    That's the way I read it, my mind creates pictures with some words...

    But I can understand what you mean by honkongese...

    It wouldn't look out of place on a menu either

    Yet this is nothing to do with your false theory that Irish don't know or dont have sympathy with hongkongers. We can have sympthy for the Palestinians and hongkongers against oppressive regimes with human right abuses.

    You don't care though. You only care about the Irish consensus on Israels pathetic and inhumane treatment of the Palestinians.

    Gonna leave this now as I don't want you to divert this thread from the hongkongers.

    I think one of the #Hongkong protesters summed it up perfectly. Its not a person we are protesting against. Its a system.

    I care about both. My friend is like a cousin to me. Probably like a brother to my brother.

    I have actually gone on holiday with HIS cousins when we were little.

    However YOUR mask is slipping.

    Irish people don't actually care about palestinians it just costs them nothing to do so and its cool. That's it. Its not real.

    Trust behind the mask.

    The protests will die out eventually. The blanket coverage from the liberal media will end when they find something else to cover when the US elections start.

    They won't.



    Its a cultural thing. They call the people 'A Dragon' when they are peaceful they are the sleeping dragon.

    Revolutions rarely happen in that part of the world. But when they do its everyone at once. And they don't back down.

    Balls of STEEL.

    Its their mentality. They don't give up.

    What we learned today:
    *You don't live in ireland
    *You don't know what people in HongKong call themselves
    *Your not great at the whole creative writing
    *Your using HongKong to have a go at Irish people over their views on the oppressive Israeli state.
