fair enough, I had meant "as long as I don't think" as something akin to a parameter passed to a function changing the result of that function, not as a true reflection of my current state of mind about anything.
So that said, sorry for taking offense. I guess I am on edge recently.
My last sentence "Or maybe those people just aren't anyone you care about" isn't necessarily some kind of veiled insult, it's a real position that some people hold and one that I offered as an option. There was actually a reply to my comment (it's currently flagged so you may not be able to see it) that implied China's actions are justified because Falun Gong is a separatist group. This kind of reasoning is not uncommon in Chinese nationals, among others.
