China, the rich and poor. You can see the one guy carrying all he owns on his back, contrasted against the modernity of China. |

I Love Smart People
Posted by w_thames_the_d on November 20, 2010
Smart people do smart things. As an example, lets say that due to the politically correct environment in which we live, someone would like say something like “hey do you guys know that when the leader of China goes to America he is called the President, yet when he goes to Cuba or North Korea he is called the Head of the Communist Party? Both are true, yet the implication is how the chicoms are ‘stroking us’ or playing games to not shove it down our throats that China is definitely a communist country. Well, smart people can do one of two things. 1- they can send me emails and I can blog things for you. Think if it like how many say Israel allows the US to fight for them by proxy. So, send me what you want posted, and voila… 2- if you agree with a post, but you cannot openly say so say. You do like I have been doing for years, you send an “anti-email” What I mean is this. lets say you know that in China foreigners and local Chinese cannot attend the same worship services together and worse yet, the Chinese go to churces where a member of the communist party – read as spy, “overseas” the mass or services, just to keep the locals in line. So, if you were to tell others, you may have problems and be seen as politically incorrect. What you can do is send an email and say,”hey this guy says… “”””””in China foreigners and local Chinese cannot attend the same worship services together and worse yet, the Chinese go to churces where a member of the communist party – read as spy, “overseas” the mass or services, just to keep the locals in line.””” and you can ask if its true. This way, you are passing along the message. |
