How many Mainland Chinese folks have you been around? Every one of the many I've been around (including three teenagers for a whole year) seemed to think of their government as a sort of benevolent uncle. 'Course, I've only met the ones they let out of the country.

Our kids are doomed if they go to public schools


A great many kids I have taught have survived though college, so I dunno how long the effects take to kill 'em.

You say this from behind the safe animosity of a computer screen.

I figure insulting people, especially on that scale, is best done face to face. You feel differently.

But I'll admit my Thailand joke coulda been taken out of context, especially by a hostile audience.




I have actually traveled in mainland China, have you? A foreigner is under constant govt. scrutiny and any attempt to interact w/ the general public is closely monitored and has instilled palpable fear. Tiananmen Square was a demonstration of national love for "benevolent uncle". Had those kids you mentioned tried to defect or made public anti-govt. statements do you think their families would have felt repercussions?

You appear to live in a liberal fantasyland, if your fantasies/jokes include travel to the pedophilia/ forced prostitution capital of the world you might try to keep them to yourself.

My computer screen contains no animosity. No insults were intended nor was anything stated that I would not say in person. Your lack of clear thinking puts a face on the abysmal state of our public schools.

remember, it's only the internet.
