Comrade,
When attempting to expose idiocy, you generally shouldn't ask questions, 'cause
1. It implies that he has an answer (rather than rightly prove that he doesn't)
2. It obviously prevokes response - perpetuating the frustrating and unhealthy process, as answers are more or less of the yes/no variety
3. Rather than admit mistake (as is the verbal custom) it pushes him to attempt to defend a weak position- to save face- rather than quietly accept error and be softly persuaded.
4. It shortens your life span

Whats the point you don't understand.

There is a huge gap in the poor and rich in China, get it through you thick head you idiot.
Yeah thanks to Deng Xiaoping, China has had a market economy progressively phased in from 1978, it's hardly communist state anymore like Cuba or North Korea.

Argueing with anti-mathmite is like argueing with a US worshipping donkey, he doesn't know shit and you just won't get anywhere. :rolleyes:

I hope he watched "Enemy image" on SBS tonight. It would've shown him what sort of propaganda he's been under all this time. But he probably didnt, the program itself was probably more of a propaganda source to him...Left propaganda that is. :rolleyes:

You have to admit, Enemy Image was a big load of Frenchy bull (sorta), eg they never touched on the other side of the coin - graphic footage being used to manipulate - which is the more obvious option anyway.

Yea, I didnt get to watch all of it though. I was out and only caught the last half hour. I love it how they showed the framing of the Saddam's statue ordeal.

China is a member of the WTO and is recognised as a full market economy by the local ASEAN trading bloc plus in bilateral trade agreements with many countries including Australia. Are there any other 'communist' countries with international trade and a market economy like China? :rolleyes:
