[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] Bugger analogies. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Lighten up, Firsty. It's just that you were almost implying that China is evil because they wouldn't get admitted to the Federation. And then you're on to "humans are Americans, and Vulcans are Brits..." (although I DO wonder what us Aussies would be under that system) Anyway, where were we? Evil chinese baby killers, right? Now, y'see, I don't know much about Chinese culture. Get on all right with the folks down at the local takeaway, but that's as far as it goes. All I wanted to do was head off judgment on things like the eating of bugs, as Tora said. What I think is the problem over there is the devaluing of the individual. The State feels there should be less people, and they introduce all these measures that the rest of the world might one day need to have a crack at. But they don't give a monkeys how these measures affect the common man, it don't feature in their plans. The bosses in Beijing don't have to see orphanages full of abandoned babies. I doubt they have any probs getting women on demand. Its not like the changing family model is gonna lead to increased dissatisfaction which will cost them the nexy election because, whoops, they don't have 'em. All these things could happen anywhere, given a government with a certain amount of totalitarianism. Now you folks have elected that feller Bush, ya might find that out yourselves. TLE: they could do that anywhere in the world. Prolly do, too. Start saying "oh, only the Chinese would do that" and your back to what Xentric said. [/QB][/QUOTE]
