<tr><TD> This story story seems like it been made up by group of communist regime try to propaganda, conspiracy. Their mind are evil and they try to make worst for the Liberation, they don't have a mind for peace, they are satanic rituals. They want to show that their Victory in 1975 is legally without any faulty. Look at them, almost 40 years of Victorious, they didn't bring any harmony and happiness for the nations of Vietnam. Kids have to left school early because their family can't afford the school fees for them to keep on going to school. Youngster more violence in the street because without properly education, murder, robbery, stealing, pickpocket are all over in Vietnam. Every household have to use ten locks to guard their house to avoid such of those mentioned above. There are a old folks saying: Don't ever believe what's the communist said but look at what is the communist do!"</td></tr> |
