Well, as someone living in capitalist China, Hong Kong, I can tell you;
1. the Chinese peopole are mad as all hell over the fact that one of their fighter pilots are missing because a US plane was spying on them. Chinese internet posters are calling for China to develop a blue water (long range) navy to enable spying on the US;
2. the US are just plain lucky that crew wasn't shot. The only reason why not is because China wants to enter the WTO this year and wants the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. |

Yea, I would like to see that happen, Typo Dave Don't kid yourself...
It is funny that the Chinese are so bold sometimes. They make their own rules for the international air space Goofy!
I guess it has something todo with the government - kind of like a mob mentality. The government says it happened this way and the whole country follows right in step...
China is the kind of country that will start World War 3, over a lost shipment of rice.
Got to love em! Looking forward to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Not that China is actually going to win anything

There are no democratic countries that I am aware of. The ones that are called democratic are usually republics. |

Lonewalker : You are quite the naive fool, aren't you?
you assume the Chinese people believe in lies told to them by their corrupt government?
what makes you think your government/corporate media don't lie to you every single day?
wait, let me rephrase that.
your government/corporate media lie to you every single day |

Lonewalker tried unsuccessfully to get my goat with a dash of unsubstantiated facts, some yahoo political science which he pulled out of his arse, and his charming personality.

FatPenguin: Your insight is without equal or comparison! Thanks for clearing that up
Typo Dave: Yahoo political science? I use MSN! Keeps me up to date on where China is stealing and selling nuclear warfare information. |

MSN? So you are plugged into Microsoft's viewpoint? Subscribe to Foreign Affairs...its basically a right wing politics journal, but at least its accurate. |

im not going to voice any opinions on wether or not spying is wrong. i dont think people can realistically take such high opinions of any government, since pretty much all of them dont give us the facts. it is definately true that china's media is state controlled and probably influences the chinese. but in the united states we have no way of knowing what the majority really thinks because we only interview bicycle delivery boys on the street, and various other weirdos. then we try to pass it off as the whole country of a billion people. what i will say, is that i believe there is no way that the crash was the ep3's fault. maybe they shouldnt have been there in the first place, maybe not. but i dont even need to know anything about aviation to know that something that slow in comparison to a fighter plane is not going to cause a crash. this is definately one of the reasons the chinese are holding the plane, including trying to get information from US technology(which i dont know shit about). But the only actual record i have seen of this is computer generated by the chinese. if they're not releasing the actual record of the flight and providing their own version you can bet that theres something they probably dont want us to see.
keep in mind i haven't watched the news for a while so if i said something stupid in the mess just tell me i'm an idiot. |

the u.s. media is state controled.
a military special operations unit works at cnn. foxs news/abc/nbc/msnbc/cbs/cnn just shovel propaganda type B.S. non-stop.
the right wing controls the media, and because of it the airwaves are filled with disinformation and half truths.
i have to read european news, just to find out whats going on in my own fucking country.
its sad. |

Spitfire, explain to me how we are fucked?
Anyone from a country that has the GNP totaling my bank account and the arm forces of the poorest third world country, has nothing intelligent to say when it comes to declaring war, or how it is played. |

Your stealth bombers and star-wars sattelites wont save your fat mcDonalds asses from an enemy willing to send wave after wave after wave of thousands of men willing to die just to destroy what they see as the embodyment of pure evil.
China VS America? Start learning chinese allready, the forced labor camp wont be so hard that way. |

Your right, spitfire They are SO jealous of our fat asses. We are just to weathly and have to much control over the world for them to take.
But, I think you should start learing Chinese while you are at it. It they can defeat us... well, the Neatherlands and the rest of Europe would be a walk in the park  |

Spitfire, you come from Amsterdam, the headquarters for prostitution and pot - you have no room to make fun of any country. But, seeing that you are from their, it is common that you have such a anti-American attitude. |

I seem to forget your age comes with a large amount of ignorance. If you really thought America was such a shitty place, you wouldn't have to worry about re-enforcing your lame comments over and over again.
Ah well, I plan on visiting Amsterdam, despit the fact there are some morons who hate other countries when they haven't been beyond their own borders. |

Hahaha. I don't see America listed their, which you seem to have to much untouched hatred for.
I was born in South America, and I have lived in Europe as well. So I wouldn't start throwing your negative comments at me.
Again I say, If you really thought America was such a shitty place, you wouldn't have to worry about re-enforcing your lame comments over and over again.

I always get a kick out of Europeans that think thier well travled by visting countries that are mostly on their borders, or a days drive a way. Silly...
Take a train pass and visited Europe in a couple months. I guess that makes me well travled too.
BTW - Spitfire, if you only new how many illegal aliens go through living hell just to enter " this shity country".
I guess living in the Neatherlands, a country that means so little to the world these days, would vex my heart too.
That is if you need pot. I guess you do have something to be proud of! |

The fun part is, that in "one day's length" we have a multitude of old and diverse cultures, while you have an entire continent stuffed with the same inbred rednecks. |

Oh and what do the netherlands mean to the world? Well lets see... we're the front door of europe. The majority of all commerical traffic passes through our harbors and airports. We've got Den Haag, where the UN court is seated and war criminals are judged. And the best one : we built your shitty country. Personally, i wish we never did, but you must be very grateful that we provided you with the land of the free and the home of the brave. And if we hadn't sold NY to the brits, it would still be called New Amsterdam, you would all speak dutch and smoke pot and fuck hookers. |
