I was walking around with some American friends yesterday and happened to note Fa Lun gathing in Boston Common. The Americans dropped by and felt so astonished by those bloody pictures. I felt so mad....
Fa Lun Gong??? 9/11/2005 12:41
I keep seeing the gathing of Fa Lun Gong in downtown area almost every city I visited in the States. Is it annoying? Am I overreacted? I'm confused. Is that good for Americans to know China in such a bad manner?

I don't care if FLG right or wrong,
but whoever wish to change his own country's policy through foreign interfering, BS him to death!

I agree with you. Country can only interact each other, not interfere each other. My question for you is: in what way you think they(FLG) can change their country's policy?

I can't answer since I am not in their shoes.
I can't pretend I know what their major problem is, and what's the cause of it.
out of topic:
To my opinion, what religious people need to do is simply changing themselves in their true deep heart to whatever they believe in,
that's fair and enough.
If they set great examples and other people who are willing to follow, that's very fine and fair.
But no one has the right to convert other people's belief, though converting is kinda human nature, because the fear of differences.(countries follow the same)

I am not in their shoes either. But, I do support their rights to demostrate peacefully, in public what they believe. It's just like I will support your rights to against them peacefully and in public too. I think it's been discussed before.
I think those people are nice normal people but it's a cult in that it's been going so overboard that its believers don't hear other sides of the story.
I've seen some of their paintings and they looked really gross. I wonder if it's just me who dislike horror scenes or if it's them who might intend to disgust the audience.

Annie, I saw those paintings and dislike those "arts". But, it's not as horrible as some "arts" made of dead baby bodies, is it?
Again, they have their rights to express their believes peacefully, in public.

How about the disturbing content of the peaceful demon?

My judge is simple. They demo theirs in right place(in other words, it's legal place) and the process is in peace. Then, it's not overboard.
For paintings, no matter what content and how disturbing I feel, I can choose not to see it. I may write article to discuss or warn people not to support it for reasons. But, I don't think I have RIGHT to stop them. They are not illegal. In my case, when I entered the room and saw those paintings, I stayed there in less than 10 seconds because I knew I didn't like them.
In most cases, I will give my reasons to others to against a disturbing content, not my feelings to against it. I care more of violence in movies for kids than those paintings because those paintings show in a very well controlled environment and, from my point of view, nothing wrong in them.

by overboard I mean in foreign country, not overreacting etc.
I am more concerned with the purpose or intention of the demo itself, and why it happens to be in U.S. etc.

This is "overboard" if they: demo in a place it's not allowed; or in a time not allowed. I don't think their content will overboard in the US.
For their purpose/intention, you can not guess what's their purpose. If you doubt any of their purpose, you can give your evidence to warn people to be care of their purpose/intention.
For the reason it happens to be in the US, that could be a good topic. There are so many things happening in the US, not in China. Will you concern all of their purpose/intention?

Yes, everyone has his/her right to express opinions and to demonstrate peacefully in public. However, I don’t like FLG because they told so many lies and made so many stories in newspapers and demonstrations. I hate that they put those pictures that are very graphic in front of different audience including women and children.

Strongly agree!!! That's why I feel so annoying. We're Chinese and it's so bad to piss off our own country
Hailang, if you don't trust their newspaper, don't read them. Read what you trust. If you think they lie, reveal the true story. You cannot make them not speaking what they believe no matter how much you don't like!
Their newspaper tell some sad reports/stories. Sad stories are different from violent stories.

俺不喜欢那些一神论的宗教。不喜欢就有权利讲出来。所以对于轮子们的所作所为，我无话可说。他们有freedom of speech 的权力。但俺不喜欢他们。大纪元之类的东西俺是懒得看的。但迫害他们就不对了。

I don't know if those demon-er can even represent the majority of FLGer.
The seperation line between those mentioned above demon-er and majority others (include non-demon-believer and non-believer) is that the first party puts its religion above nation by seeking sympathizer or supporter overseas.

Roger, your points are well taken.
I would appreciate the attitude of “别声响” when talking about personal life.
However, I encourage people to speak out their opinions on social issues, especially on those issues that may affect themselves. As members of the intellectual group of the society, our responsibilities include observing, analyzing, criticizing and advising. I will continue to watch the FLG things, make my own judgments and express my opinions.
I would like to ask people to think the following questions. Is FLG a pure qigong or religious group as they claim? Do they have their political agenda and accept money from somewhere? Are those “news” in their newspaper true? For example, are there more than 4, 200, 000 CCP members in China making statement to quit CCP?
I knew FLG told so many lies in the past and would like to list two examples here. I checked the original sources and confirmed them at the time. When I say “they were lying”, it is not an issue of “speaking what they believe” any more, I truly doubt their intention.

Hailang, you are great. They(FLG) did something bad. But, what they did will decease their credit and people will trust them less. They still have their rights to demo what they really believe. Again, you cannot stop their right to tell/demo what they believe peacefully in public.
No matter how many members they claimed quits CCP. Their number is just another online voting. It cannot be seriously trusted.
I think we agree on this: there are many lies on this world. we do need to be aware of those lies, including theirs. We must reveal the truth, but keep their rights to speak.

这不要太容易哟.别忘记我们中国人是擅长文字游戏并且最会钻空子的.
其实自由显然是该有约束的,包括自由言论.如果有人在别人家门口的街道上天天在那里说某某怎样怎样,请注意他只说某某而不指名道姓,站在公共场所说不可证明的话,自由是自由了,不影响别人生活才怪了呢.
这个世界之所以没有乱成那样主要也是大家都太忙了,没有这个功夫去牺牲自己的时间去打搅别人的时间.而有些人太闲了显然也是某功那些作为的一种根源.

你理解的恰恰就是一个本来应该的极端,而另一个极端不一定需要是主观地想到是在利用上帝的.从一个极端到另一个极端漂移不需要很多努力的.不管是否是在为自己的集团谋利,只需要自以为是在"替天行道"就可以了,比如布某.
