God help me, I've become a social democrat

Miles, I on my part is enraged with China. If it is only possible, I would not buy products from China or products with ingredients coming from China.

FYI miles, we are talking about the issues in China. It's even possible that my country will try to lessen importation from China. China needs to be responsible with how they make their products. There are no rallies because it's impractical to do it. Issues like importation from China is resolved through government action not through rallies.

Korea is all about public protests. But the point I was making, in a roundabout way, was the hypocrisy of the people who protest about perfectly safe US beef and then dont protest against actually quite dangerous Chinese products.

There is a bullshit factor which I find difficult to find any logic in. Koreans have a chip on their shoulder regarding the US and find any way they can to vent it. Its not something I approve of, and I can find a number of examples of it if anybody would ever like to get into that sometime.

So in conclusion I would like to see Seoul nuked. Preferably with me at a safe distance.

Nah, Im just kidding with that final part.

okay. I see what you mean.


Regarding Iraq, honestly, I have this hatred on them after the 9/11.

You mean the Taliban in Afghanistan?

They were reported to have been rejoicing when 9/11 happened. I think there was a video of it in the news.

Rejoicing? Probably, they were sworn enemies of the States. That is no reason to hate and kill them.

Sadly, a lot of people around the world were probably happy after 9/11.

I hate them but I don't see any reason to kill them. I don't know bro. Maybe they deserved to be attacked.

That's a stupid position IMO. The same could be said about America deserving to be attacked, it doesn't make it right. Iraq was no threat to anyone and it hadn't been for a long time.

I don't know who has the stupid position bro but I still feel that Iraq was becoming a threat to its neighboring countries and even to some muslim groups/villages.

How? You can make these assertions all you want, but you haven't provided any facts. Iraq was crippled militarily and economically by the sanctions put in place following the Gulf war. They barely, if at all, had the military capacity to defend their own borders.
1+1 does not equal 3. Because America was attack by (mainly) Saudi's operating out of Afghanistan, Iraq deserves to be attacked?

How so?
If they had been,their immediate neighbors Syria Turkey and Iran,would have welcomed our invasion.
All were against it
Iraq was a threat to bad cigars,and moustache wax,and thats about it

There are no Canadian solders in Iraq. In Afghanistan, Canadian soldiers have been taking casualties at a comparable and at times higher rate than U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

While I agree with you that the gov't does not reflect the wishes of all its citizens, citizens in a democracy (supposedly) have the ability to stop these things from happening. Iraq was a very popular war initially.
