Actually, it's not bullshit per se, it's just that the Chinese government has removed all but anecdotal evidence of it. I agree it's a poor point to bring up as a justification for China's human rights abuses (most of which are psychological rather than physical anyway), though, especially when...

Yeah let me know how that works out for you, what with fusion bombs not being used these days for anything other than a deterrent because conventional bombs are cleaner, more controllable and all, let alone Russia not being at war with anybody of consequence.

what with the Cato Institute of course! why think for yourself when the absolutism of the individual can be swayed by silly situational outside forces? let a certified objective scientific body do the thinking for you! all dissenters persecuted as unamerican or your money back

I don't think I could ever be left-wing because even though I'm a "bleeding heart socialist", I can't help but use logic and judge governmental policy independently of what party it came from. I.e. fuck off refugees who can't assimilate, GST is a good companion to direct tax, and sorry, but...

best Liberal party leader in 100 years

ITT moral relativism "human rights are a silly Western notion because the societal conformity of the Chinese population is more important than human lives!" The motto of the Communist Government of Cambodia (Pol Pot), which Communist China supported, till Communist Vietnam obliterated such an...

Somebody tell me who's troll this is. I can't figure it out yet and I refuse to accept somebody is both that conservative and that stupid (even though, I've met such people in real life, it's too depressing to contemplate).

a) that's part of the idea what with the juxtaposition of change w.r.t. the end and all b) it's written by a guy - it's not real. Fucking stop being so "oh noes! words bad" for a second. I mean it's written by a fucking mathematics Ph.D while maintaining a nice word flow and poignancy. I mean...

China to world: Go awaaaaaaaaaaay! We are big and have millions of people to kill what are you? You are an ant. You can't kill many people because they'll get angry! We have proportions allowing us to get away with it. So stop trying to ruining our fun because you're jealous. :( :( :(

How about, all of your fuck yourselves. Mutual masturbation style.

Read it man: http://www.scottaaronson.com/writings/selfdelusion.html

You are a deluded primate if you think that I support the US, or that US policy is Western policy. Moreover, America's support of the One China policy is tenuous at best, and they are certainly opposed to China's aggression towards Taiwan.

Russia can get the fuck out of Georgia, and China can get the fuck out of Taiwan.

Indeed. It pulls in so many different aspects of philosophy, metaphysics, psychology, theology and sociology so seamlessly. I really love that page. I first read at 15 and it was mind-blowing at the time, because it covered pretty much all the issues I was feeling at the time (15 was about the...

Yep. :(

Obama is against the Iraq war, but for the Afghanistan war. McCain is for both. AFAIK.

No, you're not, because 3unitz is trolling you - he's an atheist.

Dunno what their old album is like, but Oracular Spectacular is decent.

Also excellent: http://www.scottaaronson.com/writings/selfdelusion.html It raises some rather interesting sociological/psychological questions, while leaving you a dry, soulless husk at the end, much like 1984. I imagine Schroedinger and NTB would appreciate it. On the other hand, a more...
