All I could add here is that I get various news emails about industry and manufacturing and I constantly see where Chinese made products are being found defective or unsafe. Food, toys, sheetrock, etc. I make an effort to avoid them. This is not a slap at the people there because I don't know who is responsible for these incidents.

Good...Thanks...Save some of that popcorn for me.

Yes, inthedark. I know. and without China we wouldn't have gun powder and without Germany we wouldn't have rocketry. But we do.

And ByTheWay...Those fluorescent light [bulbs] that will replace (manditory) incondecent light bulbs are ALL made in China because we can't make them here because of the mercury in them. EPA would have a fit and so would OSHA.

Gelandangan...You sure are a trouble maker. Aren't you. See what you started.......

Elmer Fudd would be proud of you. I know I am.

I did not say anything about religion in China, you were fishing weren't you? I'm not biting.

Generally when people talk about lack of freedoms in China the conversation always goes to religion. How "much" people are prosecuted in China for not being "atheist". So I figured I'd jump on that band wagon early on.

Strewth!

I must apology to everyone on this topic because I fear that I may have mislead you all about my politics. I was only showing a couple of weird things that were/are going on with China and Russia. I don't for a minute trust either of them as far as I can throw my truck. That being said I have faithfully served in both our (US/CAN) countrie's military and I will defend either country to my death. I feel that it is a small price to pay for what they have given me. Freedom.

inthedark,

No need to apologize for anything. To be on the side of caution is a good idea over all. Like your user name, most people are in the dark about not only the world but their own countries, no matter what they believe they know. Hence why being on the side of caution is always a good idea.

Dimitri

Don't need to apologize for anything ITD, as a matter of fact, we do get sidetracked quite a bit. Thats what makes this hunting site unique. We can have our fun but turn 180 to get serious. For example see THIS

There is a reason why Dallan gave us Spam-O-Rama.

But we all at the same time don't take any of these arguments seriously I hope. I know I dont

Dimitri

I do not err on the side of caution. This is what I am and I believe whether it is correct or not. Whether anyone likes or not. And there is no arguing with me because I am right for me and me alone.

I'm the first to step off a cliff and I have no problem cutting off my nose to spite my face.....(Sorry Vince. Forgot)

Well for standing in the receiving end of the arguments, since I have Asian (Chinese) blood in me.
I for one, do not loose sleep much about the comments received.
I am an Australian by choice, I swore allegiance to MY country.

I believe everyone have the right of an opinion and I would not even think to change your mind.
I present the facts as I found them, it is a biased view as was observed by my own biased eyes.

I am me, and if any of you ever in need, you can count on me to help, regardless of your race or religion or believe.

Same here Gelandangen,

Geland I was hoping you didn't take any offense to the comments I made, and I didn't want to say anything that would sound like I held a grudge against you, because I know of your allegiance to Australia. I assumed you would know that I wasn't talking about you. Thank you for saying so.

I stated my feelings about China and copy and pasted data that I found to back myself up. It's fun to debate on here because you have time to check your facts. I'm going to watch Gary Cooper now....Man from the West....it's a goodun!
