Nature is healing?

I think I am missing the point here, why is this being shown as some sort of issue?

Wow, thats a bit of a crash out.

Yeah! That is my point!

Mom is in the same boat, that is why she is asking!

Fox news ONN types need they’re thinking done for them.

And you see no issues with this statement? You need the wake up call, you live in a hellscape that is actively making the world worse and just assume I do too. You and your american exceptionalism can go to hell. The best time to fight was before and the next best time is now.

Please do the world a favor and ether fix your shit nation or collapse already.

Credit where it is due.

And to your point people did care when other nations were getting bombed, but most of them have been part of long on going situations that make black and white views difficult. The rest of the world has had the same reaction you are having now when people where bombed in almost every area of the globe, in this case though you have the whole thing happen very very quickly and with almost no rational reason. This time is only different in the lack of pretending.

But the world did time and time again deeply care when the us military killed people. It is a key reason the us reputation is less then stellar and why us tourists often put other English speaking flags on their bags.

Yes, the second and first most voted elections in your nations history. Clearly it is the small number of voters that are not supportive of the only two options at fault.

Managed democracy is meant to be a joke, but the real joke is the attitude on display from americans that somehow still think they live in a democracy.

Maybe they went to an Arkansas school, or any other american one that teaches people to only support the terrible system.

But hey! You voted right so you can be smug and its only fair you get to point your impotent rage at those who did not vote the way you did. And next time when the two parties are both somehow worse you can once again vote for the lesser evil!

play some bullshit game

Oh I know this one, its the two party system pretending to be a democracy right?

But I am things are bad because the wrong team is in power, and if they turn out to be great it is all due to the brave right team. But hey good thing you are there to “do their thinking for them entirely”!

The victim is the world and the murder-rapist is the us. We do think its fucked up you all live in the same house but there comes a point when maybe “don’t blame me I voted for Kodos” does not work when you are all buying the clown makeup for John Wayne Gacy.

What a lame reason to not care about something. Peak whataboutisum.

The food thing was mostly localized and people who did not look Chinese had more issues, most people I know that lived in China got very sick at least once. Not saying the food is bad or anything, I think it is more a matter of scamming people. The scamming is really bad in some parts but not bad in others and not a problem unique to China. And the economic option issues is more about not having good places to invest money in China, and that makes sense since I am talking mostly to people who have left for that reason.

Food quality, endless scams, economic options for people, government corruption (more so the local governments) and from a woman I went to collage with; a bleak situation as a woman overall (however this may have improved).

These where comments from people who lived there (some born there) and that’s not even mentioning the government threats to ex pats that happen.

Eh, I would not know about the ones in the us as I have never talked to any and generally don’t try and look for american opinions (they show up without me doing anything anyway).

Everyone I have spoken to who has been there have said nice things.

Edit: The same can not be said of China, or the us.

Its funny, many years ago I had a friend that taught English in south Korea for a bit and got to talk with a bunch of people that also did so one night. It sticks with me today that almost everyone who taught in Vietnam said it was hands down the best place with the best people to do that line of work. One woman told me about how there is not a lot of money but in the small village (I have no idea how big that actually is since I was also told that a place of 100k people in China was also a “village”) she was treated like one of their own and even had a small parade when she left. She also taught in Japan, Indo and South Korea but always tried to get more work in Vietnam even though they pay the least.

The very idea that somehow the nation with most positive opinion in southeast Asia (maybe even all of Asia) is also being off offhandedly insulted by what I would assume is an american in a tone deaf, evidence free and super easy to disprove statement kinda makes me chuckle. The Vietnamese are fine, no thanks to the us, and from what I know of the history using the war as an example of “If you think you’re going to improve things by killing lots of people you’re a moron.” is just dang funny.

People paid good money for those errors though! Not like those freeloading people doing it all for donations…

Why bring up a failing empire like the states at all for a topic on China? Why do you think american exceptionalism needs to be a thing in any and all discussions? No one likes america when it americans all over the place, and the same goes for having to have the same whataboutisum conversation all the time.

China being an asshat on the world stage is not diminished by pointing at the united chuckle nuts of america and saying “but what about what theeeeey did”.

The prices in goodwill are too damn high!
