On the United States

You didn't specifically ask me to cite sources. My sources are from Wikipedia's footnotes on each city. Go figure - you can choose to believe me or ignore me. I'm not closeminded, I'm simply someone who sees through bullshit. Don't talk about what you don't have absolute authority on. I dislike most of the people in the US. I'm a cynical person towards the US population and I do not accept it. If I were to move to China, and defying odds the US and China went to war, I'd side with China. I plan to get naturalization wherever I go and whitewash that I am from the US. My accent is already non Usonian, so most people won't have a clue.

Non usonian sounds kind of weird. Just say you lost your american accent. As for absolute authority, china is a pretty dense place. Picking a specific place's instantaneous population and comparing to another place is just the brink of things. That's one place. We can argue and go on and on about different cities being dense or not, but the thing is, the population in the US is actually more spread out.

War between US and China would be catastrophic. The Chinese and US have a special relationship. One that should not be compromised. We need to work together to build a better future. We cannot deny that America has historically discriminated against China with the Chinese Exclusion Act and didn't even recognize them until Nixon. It is foolish to try to divide our countries. It is better to be a bridge of peace and harmony than one of antagonism.

because wikipedia is universally excepted in research. Also I wouldn't be talking about absolute authority when you've only "lived" in China for 2 weeks. Every country in this world has pros and cons. I hate when people fetishize a culture.

Or when they villainize a culture. You don't look too appealing when you not only renounce your country, but show strong disdain for it. That doesn't reflect well on your character. It's also not very Buddhist to despise anyone.

>Or when they villainize a culture. You don't look too appealing when you not only renounce your country, but show strong disdain for it. I think you mean "demonize" here. And there's plenty of people who disdain their former countries. Would you criticise a Jew who left Germany because he was oppressed? He may have been German, but he was betrayed, deceived and stabbed in the back. We are no different. You may not agree, but this is how it starts. > It's also not very Buddhist to despise anyone. And you feel qualified to comment on my faith how? Despise does not mean hate, it is a different emotion. Hate is passion. Despise is dislike and indifference. You can be Buddhist and be cynical. > because wikipedia is universally excepted(sic) in research. Also I wouldn't be talking about absolute authority when you've only "lived" in China for 2 weeks. I wasn't claiming absolute authority myself, your statements implied you were. Wikipedia's footnotes are a good source of information. Stop accusing me of fetishizing China or anywhere else. > Non usonian sounds kind of weird. Just say you lost your american accent. Don't tell me to use the word "American" because the United States is not the only country in the two continents known as the "Americas". I can use Usonian, it is a common and accepted form among many, namely an idol of mine, Frank Lloyd Wright. > As for absolute authority, china is a pretty dense place. Picking a specific place's instantaneous population and comparing to another place is just the brink of things. That's one place. We can argue and go on and on about different cities being dense or not, but the thing is, the population in the US is actually more spread out. Of course it is. I wasn't arguing the US was more population-dense overall, only that the Usonian concept of cramped doesn't apply to China. Maybe to Hong Kong, though. Shanghai has less than twice the density of New York, as does Chongqing, and those two are even MORE dense than China. In fact, last I checked, Chongqing is the most populous mainland Chinese city. China uses its space in urban areas much more efficiently, and doesn't herd people in like cattle, something New York ends up doing. Anyways this deviated off into a US v. China debate. China is not my first choice for emigration, Japan and Hong Kong are ahead of it. The former I have not visited, but I am rarely wrong about a country I am about to visit.

can we all stop arguing for like 5 seconds im sick and tired of seeing it like -_- Zen you don't know everything although you are knowledgable

Cmon guys, 'Murica has obviously been JUST AS BAD to him as Nazi Germany was to the Jewish... This guy seems legit http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvhm5zinKa1ql85u5.gif

> can we all stop arguing for like 5 seconds im sick and tired of seeing it like -_- Zen you don't know everything although you are knowledgable (sic) Of course I don't know everything. I'm not that arrogant. Listen though, you don't really understand - I'm not arguing with anyone. I'm just talking. They may be arguing with me, but not a single thing said on here is going to make me lose sleep. I really don't care what others say about me. > Cmon guys, 'Murica has obviously been JUST AS BAD to him as Nazi Germany was to the Jewish... This guy seems legit I never said that the modern day, fascist US equals Nazi Germany. Read what I said again: "Would you criticise a Jew who left Germany because he was oppressed? He may have been German, but he was betrayed, deceived and stabbed in the back. We are no different. You may not agree, but this is how it starts." The anti-Jewish sentiment has root in the Weimar Republic. Don't jump to conclusions just because you don't take the time to understand the context of my vernacular. If you have a problem with it, stay off the adult topics kid. You may learn something.
