=Personally, I think that as long as you like to live in Taiwan, you

=of Chinese.  It's kind of like Californians are a subset of Americans.

Yea, sure if you want to be a blood thirsty student killer Chinese,
be my guest, but do not count me in. You have your freedom to be
a killer and I have my freedom to be a Taiwanese. Please do not
force your will upon others.

=Hmmm.  Kind of makes you wonder what would happen if CA decides to
=declare independence from the USA.  :)

Mexico is independent from US and they certainly can declare
independent numerous time even change their own name as they wish.
Mexican certainly does not need to consult US for changing name
or whatever.
Why should Taiwan an independent country have to consult
China in order to do anything Taiwanese want. Taiwanese
certainly does not pay tax to PRC or elect PRC's president
like Calfornian electing US president and paying federal tax.
I guess you drink too much to make this kind of comparison.
Please take a cab, otherwise you will hit someone.

=I don't see why you (or anyone else) cannot be classified as both
=Chinese *and* Taiwanese.  Again, the two should not be mutually
=exclusive.

I don't see why you (or anyone else) cannot be classified as both
Chinese *and* student-killer.  Again, the two should not be mutually
exclusive.

They certainly are not.

=Well, my father is a mainlander and my mother is Taiwanese.  What
=does that make me?  In any case, it is not *my* fault who my parents
=are, so I don't see why I should be judged by them.

Interesting, this guy does not even know what he is?
Isn't KMT's brainwashing scheme extremely successful?

Every child born in America knows who he or she is, an
American.

Not every child born in Taiwan knows who he or she is,
a KMT syndrome. If they do not recongize themselve
as Taiwanese, how do we expect them to love Taiwan.
What a diaster, KMT has created a full rootless generation.

Please, David, stop give others your advice of who they
are, before you yourself find out who you really are first.

=Again, the TIers will gain much more support if they are willing to
=forget about the "crimes" of KMT, and concentrate about being a
=political party for Taiwan's advancement.  TI will never take off
=as long as they view KMT as "the enemy."

People dose not forget crimes. If you somehow got raped,
can you listen to your own advise "forget you were raped".

Please be real, do not drink and dream too much.

You should also ask KMT deems DDP as good friend first.
For example, let DDP has DDP's own TV station as KMT does.
Then that's a real pal.   ;-)

Sometime I just wonder, are those people real?
They must be coming from wonder land.   ;-(
