WWWTT Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 one kids homework assignment which reflects his view/understanding of world is hardly something to be concerned about...now when adults like shady/merlin/mr canada come up with far more twisted/distorted views we should be questioning our educational system... Yes it's very funny that many righties in the west complain about the people in China have very little or no rights such as freedom of speech. But when the righties in the west don't like the message coming from those expressing their "freedom of speech" then the "we're all doomed" scenarios start.

WWWTT Don't lefties complain about human rights in China? Did someone delete the "we're all doomed" stuff? I couldn't find it. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Obviously, the lies in west "free" world is much more than in China. Forgetting the rest of your post for a minute, you really lost me here. Are you saying that there is more honesty and more freedom in China than in the U.S.?? Quote
eyeball Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Don't lefties complain about human rights in China? Sure they do but not always for the usual leftish reasons that many righties think. In my case for example it's the really crappy relationship between those who govern and those who are governed in China that's always bothered me. The same thing compelled my grand-daughter's other grand-parents to leave Hong Kong and immigrate to Canada. But what about righties, what ever happened to their complaint's about human rights in China? They got trumped by economics I guess.

eyeball Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Forgetting the rest of your post for a minute, you really lost me here. Are you saying that there is more honesty and more freedom in China than in the U.S.?? I would say the government in China is definitely more brutally honest than your's or mine for that matter. But that said, Harper is making it clearer all the time, that our ethics and values are being relegated to the back seat. Presumably this is what Canadians voted for. You guys apparently voted for a hand out. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
bjre Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 Forgetting the rest of your post for a minute, you really lost me here. Are you saying that there is more honesty and more freedom in China than in the U.S.?? For the politicians, it is obvious that western politician have to cheat. Otherwise it will be very hard for them to win the election. Who can be more dishonest than western politicians? it will be hard to find. For the ordinary people. In Mao's time, most people were honesty. Now it is different, when China becomes more and more like the west world. Lots of people try to make money by cheating just like those in west world, when you go to a shopping mall, you found lot of their ads were just cheating, when you use internet, or cell phone, you found there are lots of hidden fees they did not talk about in their ads, if one day I can find some advertisement does not contain cheating, I would try to think if there are much big cheating behind, newspapers misleading, television cheating, survey try to fool people, google try to put the content that satisfy their own interest in the top of the search results. But still people in China are more honesty than in west world, because now still much less laws are in China than in west nations. For example, no hate crime, people can hate whoever they like, they can honestly talk about that, while in west nations, you can not talk about some groups of people even you hate them, otherwise, you will have trouble. When the time comes China has same amount of laws as in the west nations, freedom speech will be controlled by the same amount of laws, there will be same ratio of dishonesty. Quote "The more laws, the less freedom" -- bjre "There are so many laws that nearly everybody breaks some, even when you just stay at home do nothing, the only question left is how thugs can use laws to attack you" -- bjre "If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson
