		<description>What would you do to that person who is “without any sense of humanity or decency”. Wouldn’t you want to lock him (or me) up for 15 years? So are Chinese officials. They are just like you. The difference is they have the power to do so. However, I agree with you they should follow the Chinese code of law.

I think we do not have enough information to judge if the sentence is meeting the Chinese law or not.

I am sure even if the sentence is following the Chinese law, you would not think it is fair. Because what it seemed fair to Chinese, may not seemed fair to westerners. Actually, regardless what Chinese people do, westerners will always find something to complain.</description>

		<description>Good grief, Frank. Of course the recipient doesn&#039;t like the sentence. I don&#039;t care what the recipient thinks is fair - and obviously you don&#039;t either. In order for a justice system to truly work, however, a standard must be set by which to judge &quot;fair&quot; or &quot;unfair&quot;. It has to be there. That&#039;s why China, the US, and most every other country have what&#039;s called a criminal code. Agreed?

You seem like a smart man, Frank, but you have a weird blind allegiance to...something...and your arguments are juvenile. I can tell this because instead of debating the actual issue with me, you instead decide to attack me - a person you&#039;ve never met. You&#039;re effectively making noise, but in the end you&#039;re not accomplishing anything.

Believe it or not, I&#039;m actually trying to accomplish something here. This article was written to clarify why exactly this man was incarcerated. It is an &lt;em&gt;informative&lt;/em&gt; article, not an &lt;em&gt;op-ed&lt;/em&gt;. I have not criticized or thrown any proverbial stones despite your interpretation. I have only given people the tools by which to judge for themselves the &quot;fairness&quot;. I outlined what he has done and what Chinese law he was likely convicted under.

I am a man who will always be in need of a mirror on my life, but thankfully I have friends who are much more capable to take that mantle than you. I hereby relinquish you of your &quot;mirror duties&quot;.</description>

		<description>Gheyret Niyaz&#039;s sentence is really bizarre. He was in no way a strong critic of the government. There is either something we don&#039;t know (or the government doesn&#039;t want to disclose) or this is just another insane act carried out by CCP.</description>

		<description>There is no &quot;fair&quot; sentence. The recipient is always NOT OK with the sentence. 

Do you think those Mexicans are OK for them to be shackled in their ancestry country of Arizona?

If hatred made me think irrationally, do you think the white people&#039;s hatred of colored people make them think irrationally also?

Do you think white people are without any sense of humanity or decency when they enslaving blacks, killing Indians, and shackled Mexicans today?

Since you are the few without sin (or shame of sin), I apologize for wasting 15 minutes of your holy unemployed life.

Mary Magdalene would be killed by you in front of Jesus Christ. Wouldn&#039;t she?

Those who pass the easy judgment on others irritate me. That is why I kept visiting your site, holding a mirror for you.</description>

		<description>So in other words, if I sentenced you to 15 years just because I didn&#039;t like you&#039;re comments, you&#039;d be ok with that.

Frank, your hatred has caused you to think irrationally. 15 years? It takes a person motivated by self-preservation to hand down such a sentence, but it takes someone without any sense of humanity or decency to whole-heartedly agree with it.

Thanks for proving me right, though, Frank. I tried to give you a chance, but allowing your comments past the spam filter has wasted 15 minutes of my life.</description>

		<description>I agree. The wording here is just too open to interpretation.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a crying shame that the CCP has not updated its criminal code. This sentence is another scandal involving the CCP&#039;s use of law as a tool to protect its members rather than a system whereby society can actually live in &quot;harmony&quot;.</description>

		<description>The good reason to sentence him 15 years is to keep him quiet. Get it?

There is never a &quot;fair&quot; sentence existed. Since you keep question me like those  Let those who never sinned cast their stones.</description>
