    the indigenous australians are treated almost with as much indifference as they always have been.


    what i get from this is that you have minimal principles when it comes to aligning yourself with 'the lesser of two evils'. you say that sure china has violated human rights but on a scale with the US it's basically incomparable. and it's fine cause they've hardly dont it outside its own borders. then you have a go at me by bringing up the indigenous australians and doing it in a derogatory manner, without even knowing my stance on the human rights issues of my own country.
    dont sweat it care. he has a napoleon complex and uses message boards to compensate for this. feel sorry for him.

    The same "laughable" when a Yank pipes up that if it wasn't for them the world would be speaking German? Yeah both are pretty funny in their own way.

    no, not the whole world, just europe, asia and most africa. the parts the germans took without breaking a sweat.

    China has some dodgy civil rights records for sure, but i've never seen it fuck with anything much outside its own border, and the beauty of its culture far outweighs anything i've seen from the US (which also doesnt have a spotless civil rights record).


    thank you for actually making me laugh out loud. why fuck with people outside your broders when you can be so much worse within them.

    Oh for fuck sake. Tell me that you think that the US won WW2. There is no denying that they were a big part of the overall Allied victory but there is no doubt that the Russians won that war. Their complete disregard of human life and willingness to shovel millions of their own people into the fire is the only reason why WW2 didn't last 20 years. I mean, Roosevelt had to lie to America to even get involved in the first place. Both Roosevelt and Wilkie ran on a campaigns in 1940 that would have had the US stay out of "Europe's" war. Wilkie really did want to stay out of Europe.

    actually they're both the reason why that war didn't take 20 years, but had it just been the russians fighting the german in the east, with no pressure on germany from the west, the russians would not have beat them. how they fought that war, especially in their own lands woth their own resources is not a monument to intelligence.

    They won that war by willing to endure more than the Germans. The entire German army could have fought solely on the eastern front and the Russians still would have broken them. The Russians were not skilled soldiers or anything like that but they had 10 men to every German. That first winter showed Germany that they were not winning that war no matter what they did.

    No, what i'm saying is that every country has Human rights issues, every single one, Aboriginies, Slavery, Death penalties, Tianeman square, on and on and on. China hasn't ever in my experience tried to propogandarise or justify this to the rest of the World, therefore everyone can kick back, ignore whats going on around them, and happily point fingers at everybody else, mostly China.
    I have chinese people living next door to me, freely here in London, to work for a while, they talk of the beauty of china and the souls of its people, and they are angry about civil rights there in EXACTLY the same way everybody from every country should be.
    China has currently somewhere in the region of 1.35 billion people, thats a lot of people to all be treating eachother with respect and dignity. It certainly doesn't happen in America where there are less half that number, it doesnt happen in the UK with 60 million, you can't do that in Australia where you have "only" 20 million.

    Thats also a lot of people to accept things they don't agree with.

    On the plus side, from a personal perspective (i admit i'm a little biased because i love so much of the culture), China has beauty, in fact everything beautiful about China is TRULY beautiful and i would swap that for a hamburger, a big ass car and a LOUD voice anyday of the week.

    So i would choose for the Beauty of the culture, the better, not the lesser.
