Oh dear - all that for a Genghis Khan documentary? Makes the authorities look slightly paranoid to say the least.

A couple who were part of a group of tourists arrested in China have said their ordeal arose from a misunderstanding when local officials thought a documentary on Genghis Khan was “propaganda” material.
...
The group was made up of 10 South Africans, nine Britons, and one Indian. Mystery had surrounded the arrests as local police refused to comment and foreign officials said only that the tourists were suspected of “criminal offences”. On Thursday Zhang Xi, an official in Ordos in charge of dealing with foreigners, told the media: “These people are suspected of watching and spreading violent terrorist videos.”

But all 20 have now been released without charge, with the last three Britons deported on Friday. Their arrest looks to have been a mistake by overzealous local officials amid a crackdown on human rights activists

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemies
Drive him before you
To see his cities reduced to ashes
To see those who loved him shrouded in tears
And to gather unto your breast his wives and daughters"
Gengus Khan
1163-1227

My kind of guy!

It depends on what he defines as ' enemies'. In his case, probably anyone who wasn't a grovelling arse-kisser.

I believe he called enemies anyone who refused to help him conquer the world, and/or couldn't ride a horse at full tilt, shoot a bow and arrow and hit a moving target. According to a recent DNA story, he liked to rape, pillage, and rape. Lots of his DNA in parts of the world he conquered.

BTW/ When you are an unarmed serf, you learn to become an ass-kisser to someone who has weapons and knows how to use them.

Is this guy hiring? Is he in Sihanoukville? What’s his e-mail?
I can ride a horse full tilt; shoot a bow and arrow; and hit a moving target on horseback, but alas I have no desire to conquer the world.

Fuck, just saw the dates you posted Sailorman: 1163-1227 AD.
Damnit, my skill sets are so obsolete.

But I can always shoot that cat-hater i.e. hotcumslinger.

I doubt you would find any unarmed people in his area around that time.

I don't really think that just because he was a mad thug and bully we should lionise him, otherwise why not praise Hitler?

Positive facts about Genghis Khan

It was said that during this time a virgin could cross the length of the Mongol Empire with a pot of gold on her head and never be molested.

The Mongols spared anyone with a craft, such as carpentry, writing, pottery, weaving or metal working. They fiercely enforced religious freedom, which created an essentially secular state. In Baghdad, they gave many of the caliph's palaces to Mongol allies for more practical uses. They lowered taxes for merchants and eliminated them for religious, medical and educational professionals. They educated women along with men. For all subjects, they instituted harsh laws enforced equally under nearly incorruptible officials.
