DogOnPorch Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Not trading with China will not change it's behavior. Gee, who cares? This is about Canada. Yeah...a paperweight. Good idea. I'd never be able think of anything else to do with a fake gold bar that looks and weighs as much as the Real McCoy. Nope...not a thing. And that's just an example...

DogOnPorch Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 No it's clearly our behaviour that's changed. Virtue is out the window in the face of trade. My word...we agree. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
eyeball Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 You approve...big difference. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
DogOnPorch Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 You approve...big difference. Of trade with Red China? No. I'd like to isolate the country until the Communists are forced from power. But, I recall Red China's history re: the West. You do not, apparently. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
eyeball Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 China's oligarchs are about as communist as Putin or Dick Cheney. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

eyeball Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Commies are the least of our worries. I realize they're top of mind next to Islam in your view but that's you. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
DogOnPorch Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 I proved you wrong...again. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
eyeball Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Oh, commies are only near top of mind - second in line from Islam. I'll try to remember that. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

The_Squid Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 I proved you wrong...again. Deal with it. If you have to state it... twice... It probably means that you didn't.... Quote
eyeball Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 It sounds like so much stuttering after awhile doesn't it? Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
DogOnPorch Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 If you have to state it... twice... It probably means that you didn't.... You and eyeball are free to make-up stories and support Communist China all you like. Canada is a free country...unlike Red China. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
eyeball Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 What made up stories? Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
DogOnPorch Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 What made up stories? China not being Communist is one of many. But Squid supports you. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Ooh, Red China - sounds scary. What do you call it? Seeing the real China that fought alongside the Allies in WW2 is reduced to an offshore island. Or are you really that history-challenged? Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Smallc Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 I think referring to something by their proper name is always better in an adult discussion. Forgive me for assuming that this was one. Quote

Given your glorious leader expressed open admiration for China's dictatorship I'm not surprised you have no qualms about it either.

Smallc Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 I agree with what he said. China is lucky in that it can just get things done. It's not like that in a democracy. It's messy. Quote
Argus Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 I agree with what he said. China is lucky in that it can just get things done. It's not like that in a democracy. It's messy. It's not 'lucky'. It can get things done by executing people. Is that what Trudeau is jealous of? He can't simply order anyone who gets in his way killed or jailed? And I note that despite his and your admiration for China's ways they have not, in fact, managed to turn their economy around on a dime, or at all.

The Liberals are no different. Hyperbole is uselss. And I note that despite his and your admiration for China's ways they have not, in fact, managed to turn their economy around on a dime, or at all.
