tibet

A region under the control of China since Kublia Khan claimed it under the Yuan Dynasty. When the Ming dynasty defeated the Mongols, they inhereted the territory and communication continued throughout the Ming dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, China sent residential commissioners called amban to Lhasa and these amban are equal rank to the Dalai Lama. After the fall of the Qing, china became a republic under the nationalist government and Britain, Tibet and China decide what to do with Tibet. Britain recognized Tibet as under chinese Suzerainty just like Russia recogzized Mongolia. Similiar to Mongolia, the British drew up an agreement where Tibet will be seperated into outer Tibet (modern day Tibet) ruled by the Dalai Lama and inner tibet (parts of present day sichuan and qinghai) where the religous aspect will be ruled by the Dalai Lama. Unlike Mongolia with the russians, the nationalist party never signed the agreement. Tibet as well as other provinces enjoyed de facto independence when the Chinese nation was torn by warlordism, Japanese invasion, and civil war (1911-1949). However the nationalist still maintain sovereignty over Tibet. Through the Succession of states theory in international law (Yuan, Ming, Qing, ROC, PRC)Tibet is still part of China and is now legally a province of China just like Xin Jiang and Inner mongolia. Tibet is also known as Xizang to the chinese meaning western treasure.

Tibetan death whistle

To perform this you must be an expert at Tibetan throat singing. The actual act is sexual in nature as you would bend over your partner and start singing into their asshole. Has to be high or low pitch vibrations strong enough to feel it on the insides.

TribeTwelve

A popular YouTube horror-themed web series part of the archive known as Slenderverse, loosely created both by YouTubers and by fans of the community. The web series, created by Adam Rosner, has been ongoing for eight years and counting, with well over 50 video entries added to the series.

TribeTwelve follows the fictional documentary of a man named Noah Maxwell, whom is faced with paranormal occurrences and entities that seem to want to harm him any way they can. Primarily, he is attentively stalked by the tall, lanky, faceless Slenderman and his group of "henchmen." Many of his subordinates are entities possessing his real friends or are hollow shells of former friends lost, and one entity mirrors Noah himself, named Firebrand.

With a story packed with lore and horror-themed videos, TribeTwelve has caught the interest of many viewers and a sub-community has been built around the web series. The creator himself, Adam, still makes videos from time to time, and plans to conclude the series eventually.
"Man, TribeTwelve has been getting really interesting lately! That latest video left me with more answers than questions."

Free Tibet

An over used catchphrase especially in the West. See pop culture

Im not pro China and its undeniable that China has a poor track record when it comes to human rights.

However, 99 out of 100 people ever used this catchphrase is either oblivious of the true situation in Tibet, or refuses to acknowledge the fact that in other parts of the world, human rights abuse perpetrated by the American government is far worse. Not forgetting the body count of course.

Usage of this term is particularly popular with attention-hungry celebrities and teenage kids who cant even locate Tibet on the map.
Redneck :
Those friggin chinks! President Bush should liberate Tibet the American way- by sending our kids over there and killing every single chink! Free Tibet !

Someone with brains :
Lets not forget Iraq, Afghanistan and West Bank. Just because China does not have major interests in those places doesnt mean the people there dont deserve any international attention.

Redneck :
Screw them!

tibet

n. A part of China's land since Yuan Dynasty, its proven in history books and even by National Geographics in 1936. The Tibet before China was one of the world's most poorest nations. 90% were slaves who worked till they dropped day by day for their masters who is consisted of 10% of the population. The Lama controlled everything imposed heavy taxes, cut off people's limbs, gauged eye balls, and took off baby's skins for artifacts. There arer full evidence of the Lama's heinous crimes , but many people are either too lazy or refuse to do research. Fifty years after China liberated Tibet, Tibetans became more civilized and recieves better rights than an average Chinese, but those exiled Lamas are jealous the fact that Tibet is 1 million times better than 50 years ago when they are in power.

Tibet

An autonomous PROVINCE, of China, and has been for centuries, which every uneducated, ignorant fool in the world wants to "free" from the communists.

The truth is that Tibet was a oppresive theocracy run by corrupt old men who neglected, enslaved, and impoverished their subjects. The Chinese communists came in, destroyed the Iron-Fist Theocracy, educated, funded, built schools, hospitals etc for and basically welcomed a formerly oppressed province to the rest of China.
