Now that said, Bullshit dude. You can not point a finger at the US then say what China is doing is allright because they have a noninterference policy. I can note a few big interferences if you like. Vietnam, Korea, Tibet, Taiwan. Now I know both Tibet and Taiwan are both technically parts of China. That however can be said for many countries, We were part of England and wanted our independance, Congo was part of Belgium (well maybe that isn't a good example) Most of northern Africa was a colony or protectorate of Either England or France. Singapore used to be a Brittish colony. Get my point. It is time to let go. If these countries want to be part of China let them decide for themselves.
Now all that said, I do not hate Ciina nor do I think it is the Big Baddy that everyone makes them out to be. They make mistakes just like any other country.
As for what I am tired of. I am sick of everyone bashing the US. We are constantly bashed for anything we do and no one recognizes us for the Altruistic things we do. We are the #1 supplier of free med, food, water, and labor to Africa and other disadvantaged countries. The US government gives more money away to undeveloped countries than the entire EU and arab countries combined. Why do we never hear about that. In addition aside from what the gov gives, the private donations from citizens of the US exceeds the total amount of money given by the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Why do we not hear about that? |
Well thanks Dom. I think I would get along with you just as well.
Yes, I absolutely agree that America has done some great things and still is. But the current criticism is fair thanks to what we have been doing post 9/11.
As for China... Tibet and Taiwan? They were never colonialized by China. They have been a part of China for almost a thousand years until the British invaded Tibet and committed actual genocide there. The British tried to force China to sign a treaty that will claim Tibet's independence, but China, The RoC refused. Vietnam? Are you talking about singled out fishing incident where 8 fisherman were killed or injured or are you talking about the Vietnam War? And Korea? Are you talking about the times when Western powers wanted to occupy Vietnam and Korea and use them as military bases against China? Hmm, if Iran attacked Mexico and tried to install military bases there, don't you think the U.S. would intervene?
I'm glad that you don't Cina unlike many other right-wingers. By the way, do you know which country donated to Hurricane Katrina on the amount of 5x higher than any other country? China. China donated 5 million to Hurricane Katrina, a catastrophe that is laughable comparatively to the recent earthquake in China. Do you know how much the U.S. donated to China for that? Half a million. Know how much the UK donated? ZERO.
