Niphredil Ithilmir I don't think they have anything against communism in general.. it's just that the Chinese gov't thinks they are no good for society, so they banned it.. and now the whole of the West has caught wind of the fact that there's something they can go stir their people up against China with and are blowing it out of proportion (as usual). Oh yes, btw - tamcharles - just because there's a communist party in the US or Canada (there's even one in the UK... my friend got me one of their badges for a joke) doesn't make the country a target for anti-communists as they're not in power (and probably never will be). The FLG activists are using this as an opportunity to play the "victim of the Chinese gov't" who are so obviously evil and corrupt and oppressive that people living in China can't tell. rolleyes
But which one is the lesser evil?

What do you mean by the lesser evil? What were the two choices? Allowing FLG in China and being condemned by the rest of the world for being 'anti-religion'? I don't know, but I think the gov't was right at the time to ban it as they could not have forseen the consequences.

I was living in China during the period when this thing went really big~ Obviously the news showed all the bad stuff, but I think they were true.
The people who practised it went a bit obssessed, they refused to take medicine when they were sick, and trusted blindly in "the leader", but not only that, they tried to "convert" their relatives by hacking them to pieces with the kitchen knife, one guy killed his parents and his wife and kid, it wa sos sad, they showed the blood on the kitchen floor...
And there was the thing where people went to Tian An Meng Square and burnt themselves, you could see them running around on fire!!! Apparently it was a show of power for the whole thing, and afterwards they blamed the Chinese Government for that, saying they set it up, and the FLG people didn't do it themselves: a kid about 8 or something was burnt so badly she couldn't breathe!!!
So now you see why I'd like to slap those people. I'm sure its basic rules about meditating is not harmful, and even relaxing, but when the guy uses these powers to manipulate people like this, it's crossing the line~
