8 AnswersSoftware10 years agoWhy was The Video of the truth about Tibet hacked?
This video http://www.megavideo.com/?v=O33ZRO5C tells the true story about what happened in Lhasa Tibet, China on March 14, 2008. It also thoroughly examined all issues related to Tibet from the past utill now.

2 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agowhy is there so much red coral jewellery?
For a number of years we have been selling red coral jewellery, such as this necklace http://www.silverstall.com/costume/gemnecklaces.ht... or this pendant http://www.silverstall.com/silver/pendants/gem-pen...
neither of them use 100% pure coral and neither use coral picked from reefs.
As i understand it red coral is an endangered species yet the high street shops are begining to sell more and more of red coral which they say is 100% natural and from the coral reefs.
Does anyone know how they get away with selling so much (allegedly) real red coral?
