I'm ashamed of the fact that I once visited China and enjoyed it. Of course I shouldn't admit I enjoyed it, but at the time it looked like China was becoming more civilized and intelligent, now it's gone the other way.
I don't think we should tolerate chinese or russians. I don't think we need to. In America, we proved we could blow away entire cities with fat boy bombs - we practically decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think we definitely can and should do that again by all means.
We used to be courageous enough to hurt our enemies and blow them out of existence. We need to return to those times again.
That was only United States, not America as a whole. I would like people not to blame other countries or a whole continent for the things United States did.
Who was placing any blame? I'm glad we did those things, whether it was the country or the continent or the whole damn fucking world, it needed to be done.
I've also been to China in the past. It's a great culture with great people, some of them who left the country and now live in the West are among our friends, and they share our 'critical' view of their home country.
It's a tragedy what happens there now and I might never go there again. I don't think we must be ashamed for having enjoyed it, though. I more feel sorry for the people there.
I don't feel that way about it anymore. A great culture? Not so much. The country is filthy. People hang their laundry all over the fucking place. They live in dirt farms. It was ugly and unclean. And people there spit all the time to get the filth of pollution out of their lungs.
I've been to open sewers in Mexico that had more beauty in them than the entire nation of China. It's a cesspool.
