No, it isn't. North Korea is totalitarian, as was Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. Don't cheapen the term.Comment

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

The definition I have been given for totalitarian is "the government can tell you what to do no matter what". I was under the impression that this is the case in china. I suppose either my definition or impression are incorrect or both?Originally posted by Elok View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

You can define it however you like, but if your definition includes China then you're cheapening the term.Comment

That's just plain nonsense.Originally posted by gribbler View Post"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.

Does the government not tell you what to do in the USA no matter what, and it is still the best?Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
I mean, in China the government does not tell people where to put the kids to school, where to live, they can leave China if they want to, they can get educated, work, get married to whomever they want, but whatever they want the same as in the US.
Unless you were thinking that in China, they still execute people, like in the US, they have one party, but in US you have two... in that sense US is closer to China than it is to most of the developed world where (with exception of UK and Australia to them it is on the same "distance") who have closer to 10 parties who are in parliaments and more importantly, can practically be put there by voters unlike in the US... two is closer to 1 than to 10.
What else, China does not participate in any foreign wars, unlike the US, where the soldiers have to do what the US government tells them no matter what... in principle whatever the government decides in China or in the US a citizen cannot do much about it no matter what he or she does. In France they may be able to, but not in the US.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"

Are you really saying that this can't happen in US ?Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
Edit: dammit, that foot in the grave beat me to it with milliseconds. What about getting that other foot down ?
