C'mon are you guys promoting this name change really so interested in this? If you are so friggen interested, why in the hell did you and every other person in these pro-dpp NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO blogs not say a friggen thing about it until an election year popped up? Because your an idiot DPP puppet. Michael Turton in fact is a the world's renowned carrier of the largest piece of brown nosing crust hanging from their nose! Facts are Facts and I challenge you to give me ONE just ONE instance where in the United States a memorial, natiional park, mountain, school, anything of public use was re-named WITHOUT referenda? My blog has a parody on the CKS Memorial <BR/>http://tyronetimes.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>However my personal feelings are I dont give a shit! I have lived in Taipei permanently since 1986, thats 21 years and I swear to you I have never been inside! Have no desire to go look because I dont care. But I do know that some people do care, and I do know the Taipei of 1986 I came to was AWESOME! No ethic hatred, Benz's and BMW's everywhere, unemployment at less than 1% and efficient government. AND MILLIONS OF TAIWANESE also remember the Chiang era and their feelings about the Chiangs if they are patriotic, if they are near worship, however they are it is not my placve to decide whether I rape them of a memorial they (as human beings) choose to hold dear to them! Who and the fuck are you to come over to TAIIWAN and constantly talk SHIT about the MILLIONS of Taiwanese Citizens that choose to identify with their true heritage? You God? You a Saint? Mr. Turton the day you go before the American Institute in Taiwan and RENOUNCE you USA citizenship thus qualify for a Taiwanese citizenship, that day sir is when your voice may have a bit of credibility in Taiwan. You love Taiwan so much why dont you become a citizen?(which I know of only 2 former American guys that did it) all of you other Bloggers are too chickenshit to become Taiwanese! You can only talk shit about the 50% that dont play PRETEND with the other half.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068453466950558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-72587752533105269112007-05-23T14:01:00.000+08:002007-05-23T14:01:00.000+08:00btw, man, this post is "Untitled" ...btw, man, this post is "Untitled" ...Taiwan Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018124148446093746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-43792621593938999902007-05-23T07:57:00.000+08:002007-05-23T07:57:00.000+08:00Time "to" check out, I meant.On an additional note...Time "to" check out, I meant.<BR/><BR/>On an additional note, I find it interesting how the banners display "National Taiwan......" which resembles NTU in referring to ROC as the nation. It sounds like some KMT influence, or the DPP is trying to add a tone of neutrality.channinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386334271601532591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-23921790810568443622007-05-23T07:44:00.000+08:002007-05-23T07:44:00.000+08:00Michael, the new name should have been :National T...Michael, the new name should have been :<BR/><BR/><B>National</B> Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall<BR/><BR/>It's a big big big difference with/without the word <B>National</B>.

In short, "Memorial" implies that the democracy in Taiwan is dead, and "National Taiwan" implies that Taiwan is a local area but not a country.Taiwan Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018124148446093746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-91624088142195981412007-05-23T03:26:00.000+08:002007-05-23T03:26:00.000+08:00Time check out the latest updates on the ongoing b...Time check out the latest updates on the ongoing battle and the removal of the banners...<BR/><BR/>ESWN has an update on the Taipei City's newest offensive/defensive strike.channinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386334271601532591noreply@blogger.com
