skol its the second largest economy in the world, it dwarfs the aussie economy and it is only becasue of their growth that sussies are in such a good position. so if china is a 4th rate country, what are you saying about the aussies ?? as for the comments, well cast your mind back to when the 'dixie chicks' ( amongst otheres) made anti war comments about the US invasion of Iraq, if my meory serves me right they were banned from most radio stations, jane fonda int eh vietnam war was also detained and questioned, and bloody John lennon had a dosier on his activities so thinck they had 2 CIA goons on his back for years..... so while i make no justification for any authority crushing freedom of speech and thought, it is only fair to point out that the things you point out as being weakn esses in the chinese social makeup are aliove and kicking just as hard in the good ole US of A.. now, we do make some leeway for you as we all know you are a troll and a deliberate 'agent provocateur' on hot copper, We generally tolerate your outbursts because after all its free speech, ( until the moderators get onto you... agian...) however, this rhetoric of yours is bordering on a level of stupidity an illogical comparrison we have yet to witness from you before............ keep up the good work skol and we will continue to ridicule your moronic and baseless outbursts use the logical side of your brian,
