He asked to be banned. WasntAvailable

Thought GS doesn't banned a user by request?

oh well, that's the extend of my caring. Back to the pit of oblivion for me

*wander off*

RIP

Never good to see a user go, and from what little I know he was pretty decent.

What's the reason?

Almost 1000 posts

Can we make this into a RC?

Dalai does mot seek independence, yet is labeled a terrorist

Which is why China's government is an abomination, along with there mobile death vans.

Then once dead, your bodies are turned into museum displays.

There is limited freedom of religion in China. There are no shortage of Buddhist and Taoist temples over there, and people are allow to worship as they please

The Christians mentioned in the article drew the ire from the Chinese governement because they are seen as political gathering and not as a religious service, especially in the aftermath of the jasmine movement. The more resistence they put forth, the more negatively the Chinese government will view western religion.

Play by their rules, and in time Christianity hopefully may be accepted by the government

Dalai and Tibetan monks would disagree....

There are many sects of Tibetan Buddhism and the one that is being single out is the one seeking independence, the rest of them are fine

Once any entity, be they religious or not, are perceived as having any hidden political agenda, the Chinese governement is all over it

tbh, I think your chances of successfully transferring to UCLA is pretty slim. Unless you are able to get exceptionally good grade and accomplish a lot (running for student government leadership/student organization, getting a job that counts, volunteering experience) during your stay in the community college, and even then I don't think how the undergrad admission at UCLA (or any other university) would view candidates similar to yourself who were not accepted (assuming) straight out of high school.

If you really want to give it a try, I would suggest you to attend community college regardless and try to do your best academically and look for opportunity to differentiate yourself. Even if you can't transfer to UCLA you can still transfer to Cal State and apply the credits you've earn toward a degree in Cal State. You'll end up saving quite a bit on tuition, but definitely check with the school first and see how many credits they would accept for transfer

Unless you are willing and able to live entirely by yourself, its unrealistic to expect yourself to not be influence by other people. I think what is more important is to develop a sense of who you are, the ability to know a good influence from bad, and to decide what is a good influence to accept.

TC you might have overemphasis the prevalence of the bad influence in your live and underestimated the importance of the good influence, for the good influence is a valuable way to improve yourself as well
