Fairweather

Hmm - seem to remember something about being a chief technical officer of some concern or another and making enough money to quit working and "do whatever the fuck I want" being bandied about some time ago - but I don't care enough to bother searching for the said claims. You are correct Jay. Yep. Dem hippo par for the course.

no you're wait

I know there's no way someone as smart as you claim to be doesn't know how to say no or properly use the word know in a sentence. This is in no way meant to disparage what you may know about the word no. I have no doubt you know what the word no means--hearing it as often as you do. It's just too bad you don't know as much as you pretend to know.

Yes, our elected representatives need to knock off this compromise shit and get back to ideological purity. Americans voted for gridlock last November, and that's what we expect. Hell, at this point I'd even consider a vote for Ms. Rodham. (Although she is looking a bit tired these days.)

Looks like that first joint Ivan handed you a while back has really taken hold.

I'd wager yours are genetic. My money's on DRD4. But, then again, it could be just plain old dumb.

Better to be an asshole than TTK's lap dog.

You can always count on a wannabe science-guy dropout to show everyone the big picture, eh TTK? Me, a genius? Um, no. But certainly smarter than you.

Not sure how you come to this conclusion, but I'm well aware of the intentional and unintentional genocide that took place here and, in an even more pronounced way, the Caribbean and Central/South America. I'm not sure this even comes close to Mao's Cultural Revolution tally--if dead bodies is your metric. In any event, I have studied Chinese history (as well as Japanese, and Korean, and Vietnamese, and Micro/Mela/Polynesian, and Mexican, and South American, European and, oh yes, American) and I don't really view China as a threat to anyone--other than its own citizens. IMO, they've spent the last 600 years trying to atone for the Xuande Emperor's burning of Zeng He's fleet--and they're almost there. But I get annoyed when tools like TTK et al start singing the praises of the new China and inferring it is a model worthy of emulation. It clearly isn't--at least not yet. Oh yeah, three more things: 'Tard' is shorthand for "libtard" and is a spray-universal term of endearment. Please avoid citing Bible verses when trying to make a point. Learn to spell, for God's sake!

LOL Ivan! I suspect that Steve has forgotten more about China than you've ever learned or ever will learn Fairweather. Why you so openly lay out your ignorance, stupidity and prejudices about someone you know NOTHING about is astounding. So I'll clue you in, you are talking to an expert on that country. It doesn't mean he knows everything about the country, just that he most likely knows more than anyone else who posts on this site. Possibly as much as anyone outside of the CIA knows. It's his business to know. Your insults to him only shows your own stupidity. You should apologize to him immediately. Why would I apologize to someone who defends a government that institutionalizes abominations like the ones I posted--and then threatens me with physical violence for daring to question the glowing praise that same government regularly receives on this site? And to then suggest anyone who doesn't speak Chinese has no business commenting on the government there; well, that's just plain stupid. I don't know your friend--and I'm sure he's a nice guy--but he needs to step off his high horse. If he wants to educate, then he should educate. If he wants to refute my assertions about the nature of the government there then he should do so. Some people are a little more than willing to overlook the huge downside to the Chinese economic miracle--the same people who think 300mph trains somehow make up for lost liberty.

Um, he's a time traveler, Crux. Don't you get it? And unless you can say it in Chinese, you have no business questioning this fine man of the world.

Tough guy tard. I Love it! Not sure what your business is/was in the PRC, or why you feel the need to boast about your travels in this forum. Lots of folks have been to China--it's no big deal. You speak Chinese? Congrats. I speak Spanish and a fair amount of German. Nobody cares. In any event, I can assure you that touring with a group of your fellow whities and a government liaison in a micro-bus or a cobalt-blue Landcruiser doesn't amount to squat vis-a-vis your earlier 'spoon-fed' comments. Fuck off. BTW: Do you speak Bod Skad? http://friendsoftibet.org/main/execution.html

Bring it, little bitch. I'll send you my address.

The tards haven't even formed a convention yet and already they're talking about deportations. Yet another reason they'll have to be stopped by any means necessary.

It's not my thread, or my claim for you to refute. Take it up with your buddy TTk. But the stimulus spending is wholly an Obama/Pelosi boondoggle--don't even try to wiggle that one.

Oh geeez, another angry tard who doesn't like his world view tested. A "time traveler" no less. Ever been to Guantanamo Bay, or do you just like to eat spoon fed bullshit?

Only in the world of TTK, JoshK, j_b, and Prole. Not sure if she received a military or civilian trail. I suspect neither.

If you want to see how real urban/rural sectionalism works just take a look at TTK's utopia. Here's how TTK's commie friends handle secessionists:

The communist government there has set up a wonderful recycling program:

Don't forget 3500+ (reported) executions--and the nearly 1 billion "other" (rural) citizens still living in abject poverty without so much as the right to vote. Gotta love it when 'tards like TTK go off on their China quests. Says a lot about their own dark places.

Thank you. Thank you so much, j_b.

We can be, like, opposing post-apocalypse militia leaders roaming the vast wasteland in search of gasoline (lithium-polymer batteries, in your case) blaming the policies of the past for the misery of the new present. Of course, my side will have crossbows...

We have to usurp Islam. Secular logic will do. Lets begin dropping leaflets.

Imagine the additional devastation Hitler could have brought down on London if he had set his evil scientists to work building a giant crossbow!
