    Well I don't know what you define oppressed as but:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Greeks
    Sure they were better off than many other minorities before the genocide, but they were always oppressed and treated as second-class citizens.
    That being said, I do not support the Megali Idea, though back then it certainly had value in a restricted version and not the one presented by the crazy Greek nationalists.

    Little late on this one, but I think this clip from Freedom Writers describes Imperial pretty well

    Of course, you can't blame him, because in the PRC you aren't aloud to have a different opinion.

    I was referring to his view that everybody in China thinks the same, which is excusable, because in China, people are not allowed to have differing opinions. Besides, in China, you aren't allowed to use the internet either, so it's impossible for any of our members to be from China.
    shut Up!

    Yes, because China has the ability to immediately terminate any internet connection instantly. In all seriousness though, it seems pretty easy to use the internet in China. My brother (who lives in China) can skype with me whenever we want. He's never mentioned any problem besides shitty connection, because he has to use a server in Japan.

    The key there was that the server he uses is in Japan.

    I'd imagine a site bearing the name of a "communist" dictator would not be censored in China.

    Well, playing video games, especially online ones, is hardly allowed either.

    I really apologize for the confusion.
    I wrote it out in full the first time, then there were some computer troubles.

    By 'vote' I mean that the mainlanders vote whether they should continue to pursue reunification.
    The Taiwanese would vote seperately, in their own decision.
    If either side gets back 'no', then that side has to renounce its claims to lands in the others' terrictory.

    Honestly, as I said before, I think that the vote would just come back 'no'.
    Well, you are perfectly allowed to have your own opinion.
    You just aren't allowed to say it.
    Unless it is unconditional approval of the Party of course.
    But even that may have some bounds.
    Both claims of which are wrong.
    Last I checked, this forums is in fact accessible from China.

    And you are perfectly allowed to use the internet. In fact, China has the fastest growing internet population in the world.

    Imagine I have one of those Willy Wonka pictures that say something like, "So you hate Chinese people? You must know what's best for them then"
