Actually, I didn't ask for your education about Islam and no I do not see it as an invitation. I see it as a cultist state of mind where groups of people have rules that make other groups of people inequal. Just this morning I read news that Saudi Arabia forbids men from marrying foreigners from places such as ... Full Comment>>

Finally, a country that gets it right. I 100% agree with China for these rules. Much better than the way USA pussyfoots around the issues at home. This is not about religion, this is about a government trying to protect the citizens. In some countries, hoodies, backwards hats, and other gangsta style outfits are ... Full Comment>>

I agree with you 100%.

For example, and I am sure he would not be willing to divulge this information as this is private, what was his maximum ... Full Comment>>

I wish the American government would impliment procedures at Pearl Harbor.

If China were the defacto world leader, I believe that the world would adapt an inward thinking and a "mind our own business, mind your own business" attitude. People wouldn't help each other, unless the help has some mutual gain for the helper. Nobody would point a finger outwardly at other's faults because the one ... Full Comment>>

This is only true when the person is revealed as being a foreigner.
