Two differences of opinion on the USA.....

[pmclaine]

Hong Kong.....

What the media would have us believe....

Which of the two is actually showing courage?

Which of the two has a better understanding of America?

Some people were given too much, too easily.............

Another opportunity for American Statehood when we don't take care of our own.

 

[Inifinty]

Good points.

That said, the land is chineese. Those in that city should have recognized the inevitable and taken action. Our children should not be on the hook to liberate them from the reality they left themselves in.

 

[pmclaine]

Im not advocating for any action in Hong Kong other than standing by our values........and that ship sailed when we traded values for cheap plastic shit to stock the shelves at WalMart.

I just think its interesting that the Hong Kongers get what the flag stands for, its idea of individual freedom.

They get it.

The other two can argue fairly that there are "inequalities" in the USA but they can not say its institutional and our flag represents some sort of repression of the individual.

The Kongers recognize the flag means freedom.

The other two idiots are too dumb to realize you respect the idea but you can disagree with individuals.

Kind of like this......

I have a feeling we're gonna have our very own Tiananmen Square incident in America very soon.

 

[pmclaine]

Here’s a solution, Hong Kong how about we take you in as one of our states......

Not a good idea.

We would only want more land someplace else a half hour later.

We should never have considered any Communist country as an on the level trading partner.

There are just some things that are incompatible with our Constitution and values....Communism being one thing, I can think of others.

HK seems a primary conduit by which China got to where it is today. Evacuate those that want liberty and shut that bitch down.

China wants it both ways.....

Full Communist control of the individual with Special Economic Zones to fuel an economy.

Their people are slaves for the elite.

I think our DemoCommunists are jealous........

The people risking their lives by holding those flags know absolutely the value of freedom. Cost.....well I won't be surprised if it costs them their lives if their identities are discovered.

Thus the hiding behind magazines.......

If not death they know they will be deemed "Socially at Risk" - Google is probably helping to grade them - and their prospects for succeeding as an individual will be terminated - no school appointments, unable to get hired.

Thats the free expression of ideas under Communism.

The Brits should have least armed the people before tucking tail and leaving their spoils from the opium wars.

"Disarming" people is the British tradition.......old habits are hard to shake.

 

[MtnCreek]

^ Can't argue with that.

 

[pmclaine]

Agreed.

Taking on new country’s kind of goes against my isolationist views

Its what Trump was elected to stop doing........

I want my wall, I want our troops on our soil (training with a Big Stick), and I want him to actually understand the originalist/textual concept of the Constitution he promoted when scrambling for votes.....

Like a half hour after eating Chinese Im kind of hungry for my wants.

 

[Mwalex]

People that are not born here want to be here. People that are born here want to make the US into the countries that everyone else wants to leave. Go figure.

What you did there, I see it.

[EM92wx]

Well are we the only country in the world that built a wall against invaders? That said, China built one.

We havent built one yet............

Last time I looked China doesnt have Mexicans standing outside their Home Depots.....nor do they have Home Depots.

 

[acudaowner]

if and when the chinese people want freedom they should have the numbers how many hundreds of millions of people do you need to fight . If they want it bad enough . Just don't elect another dictator .

"Disarming" people is the British tradition.......old habits are hard to shake.

That is why when any law wants you disarmed, arm yourself illegally.

This was photographed just days ago. Some folks are really understanding what the value of gun ownership is...

Gee is there much hunting in Hong Kong?

What other reason would they need it for..............

It's getting to be like that around here.

 

[pmclaine]

Wouldn't it be great if the flags were made in the USA by Annin...........

 

[Snuby642]

Air drop guns and ammo they can figure it out on thier own.

 

[556ARs]

given to much too easy, hard work brings about value and they don't valid what they have compare to other countries.
