do you mean time is not the function that changes the state of is?
do you mean time does not matter to whether anyone ought to be told to leave residence in tibet?
do you mean you can still be asked to vacate new zealand?
if not, then wait another 10 years, and tibet will no longer be the issue that it isn't, to the same extent that nz isn't
you mean to say that tibet is and had ever been a sovereign country? does a single soldier shooting a single person change history?
no, of course not, and so why are we discussing a non-issue. why do we not discuss whether old wrongs should also be corrected, and vacate you out of nz?
you mean if a burglar broke into my house, murdered a grand pa, and stay long enough, then his grandchild gets to stay while the original owner's grand child gets picked on?
no, of course you don't mean that, for if you do, you are indeed stretching.
so, you see, either time changes things or they don't. selectivity is not an option.
