Well yes, we do frown on beating people up and throwing them in prison for daring to express anti-government sentiments on the internet.

Silly us.

Yes, silly you for making such a silly comment. And totally off topic!

The article in last week's Vancouver Sun did not refer to beatings and imprisonment. And anti-government sentiment is not what I speaking of. I was talking about internet addictions.

Another aside: I doubt the US is a dying country, but I would agree with Fishman. It's economy is now strongly linked to China's.

argus, you realise that that 18% increase still brings chinas military spending no where near that of the united states? but i supposed 400 billion a year is justified when we're talking about fighting poor, untrained, non-mechanized terrorists?

and i agree that many of those bad things go on in china, but compare that to the any time before 1990. are you condeming the chinese for reducing these occurences significantly and not abolishing them immediately? im not being stereotypical, well i guess i am but most would agree, asians are more patient than the west, they do not have the sense of urgency we have. and by their standards they probably see a HUGE improvement in their way if life.

then again i just read this article on the subject, i think theyve improved but they have reached a plateau, which has the possibility to shift back easily, for lack of safeguards.
