Yes, their currency is clearly a point of tension, but, without China selling USA cheap goods and buying all of their bad debt, what would the US do. I have stated in another thread that if the US were to have a war and China got into it, as long as they made China be seen as the aggressor, then if US won the war, they could make China pay reparations and that might get rid of alot of the US's debt that China owns. I don't know how they would do that, but, I am sure somewhere there is a draft report sitting on someone's desk.

Thats poppycock, just more propaganda spread by enemy agents to try and create instability. I bet you speak fluent Russian and meet with a gentlemen in his 50s once a week in a public place. He will always be carrying a copy of a certain newspaper, and you will always offer him a pepperoni sandwich.
Shortly after you receive your new instructions.

I call you out as a propaganda bot and challenge you to deny.
Actually, it is a waste of my time so I will say it up front.
You are nothing but a hired puppet and I hope you realize it before it's too late but I really think that it's too late for people like you.

Under the "Human Rights Violations" you can include torture and performing medical experiments on unsuspecting victims. Plenty of documentation on that.
Not that old anti USA propaganda 'Human Rights Violations' implying Gitmo bay again. It's another tired old refrain, use to bash USA on anything connected with its push for better human rights in the world.

...and Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Not as new as Gitmo, but, in the long term it is way worse. Only country to use the bomb so far.

There are many of us who do not turn a blind eye to our government's negative actions and misdeeds. However, I am still able to voice my opinion and fight for what is right freely. Some may argue this because of laws being passed and yet here I am a US citizen, fully able to express myself. I as many also see the greatness that US citizens have done in this world and do everyday. Judge my country based on a skewed view that is biased if you like. You are free to do so.
But do not forget that the American people are better people than you let on in this thread. I love my country and the people within in it for many reasons. Even when I find great dismay and fault in my Government's decisions, I will always have faith in it's people.
The United States is not perfect. That's a given. It strives to be the best it can be and it is through the people that it achieves this.
I could bash other nations for there inequalities and lack of freedoms and poor records on human rights and liberties. But what would be the point? Every Nation's government is the same essentially. It's people however are not always the same.
This is the difference between folks like yourself and folks like me. We see the bad in things but we strive to see the good and make good where we can. Judge my government if you will but do not generalize my people. It is the greatest mistake anyone can ever make and I will fight to the last drop of my blood to defend the great people of my nation. Not because of my government but because I have pride in my Nation's people.
Many other Nations have that same pride. I have been to over 40 countries in my life span and I have yet to see any that rival the sincerity and kindness of the United States citizens by far.edit on 1-1-2012 by Flint2011 because: Typos and mispellings.
