"can you please give the 'eat shit hypocritical Western capitalist running dogs' routine a rest?"
don't take it personally,Craig. it's neither east nor west. If my right to share were threatened I would feel so too.

Rich, you're saying that if ACT were a dictatorship, and set up an economic system where the job market was so competitive, 1/500 people had to throw money that could be used for something better, to send kids away from their families and homes, overseas to get foreign qualifications in order to get the smallest edge over the locally educated, just to get a half decent job, that they would celebrate ACT? Would you? You must think these people are super clever.
The ones who are part of the elite, don't need education.

the thing is Sofie, I'm not particularly saddened. just saying what i see.
I see people sexually relieving their dogs in the company of others. A different cultural attitude to dog's rights or human rights or whatever or whoever's rights people want to stand up for.
impossible to get the head around
fundamental differences on the definition of what it is to be human.Generalized media driven foreign assumptions don't have wind, to cross that abyss, primarily because the 'free media' can't write about such things without revealing it's own moral bias, and subsequent lack of objectivity. The objectivity which should be (and many assume is,) the very essence of a free mainstream media.

Remove the one child policy and you're still gonna be dealing with the same problems, family members telling family members what major to study, who to marry, what job to take, extorting money as a familial obligation, and latently, the effect this has on the way people treat nonfamily. (the popular human rights cliques more favoured topics)
As i posted just now, i opened a friends' email, New Zealand born, talking about her father's pressure on her since teenagehood to be the 'dutiful daughter' -and the subsequent use of medication to cope with this kind of stress. Basically the putting of one's dreams on the wayside for do for the family what modern western capitalism would prefer a nurse was paid for, or a wife was requisitioned for,
Now under the western ideological human rights manifest, how is writing about foreign Government policy, going to ensure the rights of New Zealanders aren't gradually eroded?
The Chinese can and do share media pretty much unperturbed. This is a human right. The right to share.

I've gotta say Russell, you do paint a more accurate and even handed picture of China than some on this thread.
The single greatest 'human rights' issue in China is that of family obligation, filial responsibility and lack of personal autonomy, not so much within the state, but within the family. Most of the 'anti' here, don't even seem to know what issue they're trying to address.
an example
What is the population of China?
It's a trick question. Noone can answer this. The one child policy fines/d? families roughly $10,000. Until recently a son was the preferred child. So there are tens of millions of unregistered daughters, with no birth certificate, who will not be 'human' until they register at the time of marriage.
It's easy to say that the one child policy is a violation of human rights, and the cause of this, but on another level, it can be argued that the OCP is socially responsible, for China and for the Earth. When i see situations like this, I conveniently look past the gov' policy and i see citizens' responses to gov policy and I see a group larger than New Zealand willing to deny their children any human rights whatsoever for the sake of a son.
With these kinds of observations in mind i'm also drawn to consider the NZ police gangbangs, (Surely not human rights abuse by the New Zealand Government). Yet that's the context in which alot of people seem to argue for human rights. Arguing against administrations on cases far beyond their control in the realm of individual choice to treat fellow country women as less than human.
It happens.On the topic of India, I think one important factor is religion, that glitch of the human imagination suffered in the hallucinatory nations whereby people are tripping out on 'money is the source of all evil' etc. India has that. China in its favour has no significant religious movements and when you meet them here, they seem 666% more crazy than back home where there's that make-believe environment.
Money drives everything in China. Hence the need for stricter controls on the money grab, because you can bank on there not being 100 million Chinese meditating on a mat praying to Vishnu; Those folks would be all on their way to the cities to make money. it's not best-practise policy to allow that.
The comparison to India is best answered by comparing the economic and infrastructural developments of the two countries now and 30 years ago.

Nice work posting those icons Russell, enjoyed them, only one which left me scratching head was the 'me', which seemed to conveniently overlook the absolute ego machine that is the one child policy child. or maybe that small sized me was merely the reflection of grandma in the eye of an 80s kid.
