Why the multiple posts? The great fire wall giving you hicups? |
You seem confused. One poster is citing Chinese propaganda bashing the American left. Everyone else is calling bullshit on it. |
This whole thread is ludicrous.
What next, will someone post an article saying "Uruguayan sorghum farmers think NASA engineers are whiny little bitches and that they will never put anything into space" - except that NASA engineers know a shit load more about putting things into space than Uruguayan sorghum farmers and have in fact been putting things into space, putting humans into space and on the moon and visited every planet in our solar system and the opinion of Uruguayan sorghum farmers on the subject is pretty much something irrelevant, meaningless and that nobody gives a damn about. |
+1,000,000 And that current strategy is not working for them. At all. |
Surely you're not actually equating liberals to "NASA engineers"... if so, thanks for yet another laugh! ![]() |
Point sailed right over your head. These chinese commenters are commenting on something they clearly do not have the slightest freaking clue about. Kind of like what conservative commenters do, only worse. |
Yet another blatant lie, that republicans/conservatives as a whole don't engage in name calling. -1,000,000 |
Occuoy also protested dems and had many anarchists and even some libertarians in their ranks so a pretty huge miss on relevance there. |
This is because you are confused about the difference between individual liberty/responsibility and collective action. Go study the difference between liberalism and conservatism, their platforms with regards to the individual and the collective. The words don't mean what you think they mean because they have additional meaning beyond their literal interpretation. In the same way that liberalism in the US means very different things with liberalism in Europe. Individual liberty/responsibility doesn't mean people stop working together, to the contrary, this is the best type of working together because each person is doing their best to perform their part. In the liberal view, individual liberty/responsibility, even as participants in a larger group, has a much smaller role in the outcome; the individual is therefore dependent on the collective and a powerful central government to advocate on their behalf. Examples of how the two ways of thinking is how to approach the problem of poverty: conservatives may support training and job programs, where each person can improve the value of their labor, and therefore is better able to lift themselves out of poverty; democrats on the other hand will feel that individual effort will have limited effect, and call for programs such as welfare, affirmative action, and push these programs through the government. Another example is worker's unions. Unions are a liberal idea and their members are almost always democrats. People who don't belong to unions feel that individuals have the liberty/responsibility to find the type of employment they want and at a fair compensation. People who do belong to unions rely on the collective to protect their jobs and pay. Both non-union and union people work with others very well to get what they want. |

A more appropriate thread would be Russians think NASA engineers are whiny little bitches except for the Russian NASA engineers. |
No, I am sad because she is a textbook example of ?????As a Chinese immigrant, I know there are many things that China can do better. It emerged from an oppressive communist regime into a more socialist one, but one that still trails the west in freedom, human rights, environmental protection, and other important areas. That said, China has been making blindingly fast progress by any historical measure, to the point that the west is telling China to pump the brakes and slow down, out of concern that China will be unable to deal with the pace of change and result in large swings in economic, cultural, and political stability. Her critique on the lack of freedom in China shows that she either has a lack of understanding of what is happening in China, or more likely she is grandstanding in front of a group of Americans, slapping the face of her home country to appeal to the pride of western liberals. As an aside, all the talk about fresh air is pretty over the top. China's environment is *NOT* as good as the US, but it has gotten a lot better, and is not nearly as bad as she made it sound. Again, this shows that she is grandstanding, shaming her home country to an exaggerated degree to make western liberals feel good. I wouldn't be surprised that after this, she and her family will apply for asylum due to fear of political persecution. And of course her parents will have to be cared for on the backs of American tax payers because she is going to be less than productive with her degree choices. She is a clown, making an exaggerated performance in the hopes of some reward from her audience. |
PP here, the Chinese characters came through as a series of question marks. *JEFF* your site is not multicultural, shame on you! The Chinese has pinyin "Chong Yang Mei Wai" |
Huh? I thought it was the liberal's worldview that we should march towards globalism, in which we care very much about what Uruguayan sorghum farmers think about our NASA engineers. |
All true. So why was President Obama always sucking their you-know-what instead of standing up for human rights? |
