There you go, you've labelled me as Anti-Chinese because I don't agree with everything the Chinese do, so there is no point continuing this discussion is there.

That is not about you believe or not believe what the Chinese do. The ideology in your mind made you reject anything about Chinese. Even the truth.

Might as well take advantage of this position above Ysun.

The US thinks China smells like cabbage!

Ysun, a comment like that might get you black bagged. I'm emailing a link to it to the Chinese government, I hope you don't mind.

i have been to china a few times.. loved it.. i even married a chinese.

my wife is set in her ways she loves her country.. just like I like mine (dont love it). I don't think it's worth a debate who's government is best... I don't care what other countries do and how they operate if don't live there. Or I do not know enough to make an opinion. I respect my wifes beliefs and she respects mine.

UK government are crooked as much as any other.. they still rob you of all your money and give it to the poor or go out and buy a flashy kitchen for themselves.. At least dick turpin wore a mask when you were robbed. Taxed to death

If i could i would live on a flippin private island

Ysun, there's simply a language/communication barrier. We are not saying you are wrong. We are not saying you are right either, we're just discussing...

I totally agree there. However at least we aren't getting childish about it (save one humorous f'er). Seriously, if all he has to say is that one line 10 times over...why post? >_<

I'd also like to say that although protesting the Olympics is one of the most media-attention getting way to protest, getting carried away and/or taking it out on the torch carrier is completely in poor taste.

Attack a person in a wheelchair and a blind guy as a protest? Why don't they just throw a few kittens in a wood chipper while they are at it? Or throw a puppy off a cliff. Oh wait...
