"Justice" served in China... (mentions orgies!)

I thought this would raise an immediate alarm except among the most credulous.

Why? Some Christians in America think the power of faith will protect them from the venom of snakes.

Why? Because they reported it as a fact, not as a belief held by some people?

Just because they're idiots doesn't mean they aren't practicing a real religion and should be subject to persecution by an authoritarian government.

You are begging the question. You need to prove both points.

You are yet again defending the undefendable human rights violations of the Chinese government. However, I am not surprised.

Again, strawman. Try better next time.

i think any country which shuts down orgies for reasons other than stds is obviously just not worth defending.

You are wise beyond your years, Q³.

I'm surprised by one thing though. How on Earth did this guy become moderator of a debate forum with that kind of outlook on things. It's like having a declared Nazi running the OT.

Pardon my French.

Not really. UR is more akin to the average German who bought into the Nazi rhetoric and thought that they were actually a force for good in the world. Being a brainwashed citizen is different than being a member of the party.

Way to Godwinize my thread, BTW.

Unfortunately there are many in Beijing who cannot pass up an opportunity to score nationalistic points with the general public. And anything that presses the Japanese button is guaranteed to work.

Prostitution is so common here (at least in Chinese cities) that that can hardly be the motivating concern. It was the irresistable combination of Japanese businessmen and the unfortunate date they chose for their ill-fated shindig that made this affair such an opportune target for the propogandists.

Oh, and China stinks.

I suggest differentiating between the current gov't on one hand, and the people and culture on the other. One has few laudable features; the other, not without its shortcomings, is quite admirable.

I give this same advice to Chinese who dislike the US because of Bush.

As insightful as always, mindseye.

Actually, they only shut down orgies of Japanese businessmen. Orgies organized for Chinese businessmen are still okay.

[Spiffor]

Can you two PLEASE stop seaking about serious matters, and can we resume our orgy thread now?

[Drake Tungsten]

Good idea, Spiff.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Btw, before we go back to orgies (you can wait, Spiffor), can I ask how calling someone on ignoring China's human rights abuses in a thread dealing with China's human rights abuses is a strawman?

Can the truth ever be a strawman?

[Nubclear]

All nations of the world need to begin serving out life sentences for such sinful acts.
