This makes no sense :uhoh: Of course it slows population growth, if only 1 couple on 100 is allowed to have 2 or 3 children instead of 1.

1. Not all do. I believe its possible to live happy, probably much more happy, elsewere in the world.

2. It is the same in other countries, I'd say the western world is better than most places for that actually. I feel safe walking in the streets of most big north american cities, but I would be a bit afraid of walking alone in the poor areas of some south american, asian or african cities. I might get kidnapped or simply killed for 40$ dollards.

3. Nothing is wrong with sex, as long as both men and women agree to do it, which is how it work in western society (those who don't respect that are thrown in prison, and lose any reputation they had forever. rape is one of the most hated things in the west). In some countries, women do not need to agree.

4. There are single mothers and single fathers too. Thats a sad problem of course, usually the law make it so the father, even if he's not living with the mother, pays for both the mother and the child anyways. This happens to an extent that makes it completely ridiculous.

5. Homosexuals exist in ALL countries, probably in the same proportion than in the west. There are probably more declared homosexuals here, since they won't be thrown rocks at in the West, so that means in other countries there are more closet homosexuals, who will live unhappy faking to love their wifes (to look "normal") and loving another man in secret. In the West, you can do whatever you want in your bed, the state does not and shouldn't care about what happens there.

6. Most people value life over material things, we aren't all "capitalist pigs" like you seem to think we are. Even then, I'm certain a lot of the most capitalistic persons still value life over material things. However, it is true that materialism is rampant, and this can be a good or bad thing depending on the point of view.

Ahh I disagree with that ;) . She is not the chinese governement, what she says does not mean it happens. She has her opinions, and she wants the people she hate to be beaten. I have read a large number of americans who hinted they wanted to beat some democrats or liberals. The governement rarely (it happens) beats people, but the people sometimes want to see other people beaten. That happens in the West too.

And thats exactly the point.

I may believe that my country is corrupt as well, and abit of a piss-pot, but I'm free to say so, and I can take some action towards changing it. However, its not all bad, there is alot of good. You just have to take the rough with the smooth.

I wouldnt trade that right for anything.

THe difference is that The US and Canada are modern countries, where the people are free and equal before the law, poverty is extremely low compared to, say, China, and the standard of living is extremely high. Although i don't approve of every aspect of Western Civilization or the US in
particular, they have indefinetly more reasons to be patriotic than someone from China. China is a backwards country, with a corrupt totalitarian government and rampant poverty. There is nothing to be proud of.

In another note, i strongly oppose nationalism anywhere and of any country, some just have it justified better than others.

Everyone is supposed to be equal under communism. The government is hypocritical. They say the farmers who need the kids can't have more than one, yet the government officials, who have no need for them can have as many as they want.

i have critized before and nothing happens to me
You are part of the government though.

the diffrance is some people encourage terrorist actions,
Encouraging people to overthrow the chains of opression is terrorism?

He wanted a democratic government where the people run the country instead of a few dictators. What is so wrong with that?Tell me, what would happen if you went outside right now with a bullhorn and then started talking about how the government should be more democratic and free. How long would it take for you to be thrown in jail, or thrown face down into a ditch?Because that is what happens in China, that is what happens in North Korea as well, it also happens in many other places. But not in the West. In the west we are free to call for anything we want, so long as it isn't violent.

I disagree. Someone can be proud of many things in China. Its a beautiful country, with a rich history that has done great achievements. Even if it is done at a great price, China is also the fastest growing country in the moment. The people there have plenty of reasons to be patriotic if they feel like it.

Well, he meant that our governements don't beat people (they do, of course, but to a lesser extent). When it comes to opinion, a lot of people in the West want to see other people beaten, to think otherwise is foolish.

I know that, and it doesn't change the fact that what you said made no sense :p

She didn't specify what terrorists she is talking about. She might've been talking about islamic terrorists, there are some of those in China too (Sinkiang is muslim, isn't it?).

What would happen if you went outside, took a horn and started shouting sexual content in a conservative U.S. town?

farmers need more children for them to add to more useless farming and factory work?, to just work so you in America can buy silly materialistic things?, America is our biggest trade partner, where are your ideals then, all what you say doesnt matter when you get all the things you say are so great to have

.

no, i am not active in politics and i have my own views, i am training during job in police, so i am part of the government in that way as i uphold law

no, they want to destroy society and when in power they really will work people to death as these people care about money, these people will join America in their unlawful wars if their idea of government was in power
