Woot a "stupid" Chinese civilisation - they've only been around for a few thousand of years (that's like way more than England), and those "idiots" just insist on putting their hard earned money into high speed railway.

Communism is a disease.
If I had said that in China I would be placed in prison.Comment

Communism is quite a nice idea, in theory. It's letting people run it that makes it go wrong. Once we have benign artificial intelligences to make the decisions for us, it'll make a comeback.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Oh Karl the world isn't fair
It isn't and never will be
They tried out your plan
It brought misery instead
If you'd seen how they worked it you'd be glad you were dead
just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the free
where the rich just get richer
and the poor you don't ever have to see
It would depress us, Karl
Because we care
that the world still isn't fairComment
