Who is boycotting the ceremony?

[Canceled.LTroll.27]

Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who violated Chinese law. It's a complete violation of the principles of the prize and an insult to the peace prize itself for the Nobel committee to award the prize to such a person.

In what ways have Liu's actions contributed to human rights progress for China's 1.3 billion people?

Is the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision to be interpreted another way?

Has the once prestigious prize has degenerated into a political tool being manipulated by some Western powers?

The choice before others is clear and simple.

Do they want to be part of the political game to challenge China's judicial system, or do they want to develop a true friendly relationship with the Chinese government and people?

China is investing heavily in Europe, buying debt and assets depressed by the global financial crisis and becoming a significant partner for hard-hit nations like Spain and Greece.

If they make the wrong choice, they have to bear the consequences.

Those at the Nobel Committee are orchestrating an anti-China fuss by themselves.

We are against anybody making an issue out of Liu Xiaobo and interfering in China's judicial affairs.

We will not change because of interference by a few clowns.

I wonder what would happen if Julian Assange were nominated for the Peace Prize. Methinks that right wingers in the states might understand Beijing's stance.

Yeah, speaking up against one of the worlds worst human rights violators is the EXACT SAME THING as releasing government documents about international affairs.

Not I'm against Assange, but to compare the two is probably the dumbest thing you've said today.

The point is that they are both fighting what they see as injustice. That is the similarity. I'm sorry I thought it was quite clear, I keep forgetting this is an American forum. Must be ny age I suppose.
And anyway no one mentioned America! Liu Xiao Bo is Chinese.

We know that Liu Xiao Bo is Chinese, grab a piece of memory. I think you mentioned the states when you said this:

But maybe you were talking about some other nation...

Anyway, the reality is the two aren't close to comparable, however I think the "right wingers in the states" are surprised that Julian didn't get the Peace Prize considering who got it last time. But then I wouldn't know since I obviously must be thinking about some other nation regularly referred to as "the states" who might be concerned about Assange. There are so many on that long long list of nations called "the states" that you can assume everybody must be talking about that other "the states" and then when you add in that portion that would be concerned about the release of their documents by Assange... well then obviously it is that other "the states"...

What a maroon!

Bloody hell Damo. Does EVERYTHING have to be dead straight for you to understand? My sarcasm was to suggest that America was one of the world's greatest human rights violators. Did you seriously not get that?
In common parlance 'the states' usually refers to the United States of America. If you are itching for a battle of the pedantics please let me know.

Damo tends to play with a straight bat, so the occasional googlie leaves him wrong footed.

What I got was that you said "nobody mentioned 'America'" and I thought I'd point out that maybe somebody did, and their initials were "Lowaicue". Basically I was saying your obvious and poor sarcasm would be missed because you had actually mentioned the supposed "not mentioned" in your haste to make your "zinger" at the US.

Your sarcasm would be better to "hear" if we could hear voice tone and it was somewhat accurate. You don't say "The US" in one post, then in the next say "nobody mentioned the US" in the next, it makes it a bit difficult to "hear" the sarcasm through all the stupid when that happens.

However, dry wit based on pretending to misunderstand is a subtler form of sarcasm, one that usually is used without voice tone as a cue and therefore translates into written form better. You might want to think hard about what you are saying to me here. Maybe even twice.

Thank you Damo. I cannot even "Beijing" to tell you how this tickles me so...

How does one hear your voice, is it really sexy as was once suggested by another poster? at one time?

I see you are once again overlooking your own countries and that of your now adopted country's violatioons.
Britain and/or China have the US beat, hands down.

I suppose that would be in the ear of the beholder (behearer?).

Conferring an award to convicted Chinese criminal Liu Xiaobo is gross interference in China's judicial system.

The foundation of the Nobel Peace Prize conferments in recent years was weak, including the latest one to a convicted Chinese criminal named Liu Xiaobo.

From U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009 to Liu Xiaobo in 2010, the selections showed the Nobel Committee served as a cheerleader for Western leaders on the one hand and as a backer of opposition forces in Eastern countries on the other.

Giving the prize to figures like Liu Xiaobo has clearly demonstrated the Nobel Committee's anti-Chinese attitude.
