Plus it’s not like the Chinese see the North Koreans as being human. Yes, that might sound shocking to you, but I’ve had a few Chinese people admit as much.
It’s funny how I talked to south koreans the other day and they don’t see mainland chinese people as human, but rather midget beings.

funny, most chinese people I’ve known were a LOT taller than most of the koreans I’ve known

last time I am going to spend more than 10 seconds answering to any post of yours. And every time you complain about that, I will refer you back to this answer of yours.
You and steveo sure make a great couple… you should definitely move in together. At a minimum, start some club where you can throw canned responses both at each other and at anyone who dears to cross your paths.

Looks like Mr. Phony Phds has declared war on me! And he’s going to withhold his profound verbal vomit from my posts, deigning to limit his responses to 10 seconds.
See? All libs are just like this — show 'em up with their schemes to regulate and control everybody, and they have a hissy fit. They are the rulers who milk decent hardworking Americans to give benefits to everyone else. And these twerps determine the future of OUR country???
If guys like Hspder, ass clowns like this, are who we give control of our lives, to regulate and tax as THEY see fit, then we deserve it.

Axiom 2: Since individuals are the basis of society, all individuals should have access to basic necessities of fulfillment, such as education, economic opportunity, and protection from harmful macro-events beyond their control. To social liberals, these benefits are considered rights. These positive rights, which must be produced and supplied by other people, are qualitatively different from the classic negative rights, which require only that others refrain from aggression. To the social liberal, ensuring positive rights is a goal that is continuous with the general project of protecting liberties. Schools, libraries, museums, and art galleries are to be supported by taxes. Social liberalism advocates some restrictions on economic competition, such as anti-trust laws and price controls on wages (“minimum wage laws.”) It also expects governments to provide a basic level of welfare, supported by taxation, intended to enable the best use of the talents of the population, to prevent revolution, or simply “for the public good.”

You should counter HH inevitable description of #2 as nothing but slavery of those who produce for the benefit of those who don’t.

How’d you get that out of what I wrote? California must really be the land of fruits and nuts. You and Hspder make a good team. Are you two a twosome, Knewsom?

Translation: He can’t do it, because it would expose him as the proto-fascist he is.
‘Positive rights’? Provided by whom? By Rainjack or any other honest businessman? Ah, you lib-fascists, with all your plans for us, our work, our property, our money.
You, who produce nothing, propose to establish a system of legalized looting of those who produce. What if they don’t? What if self-respecting men don’t want to work at the point of your gun?
This is absolutely insane, that anyone thinks that societies can function for long, with banditry as the principle of government! Unbelievable!

My response had nothing to do with the quote you posted, just like the quote you posted had very little to do with my post. You totally missed what I was getting at, and absolutely refuse to even CONTEMPLATE where we’re coming from. You are a FOOL, and a petty, selfish one at that. You’re simply grasping at straws now and trying to rile me up by calling me gay. oooh, I’m sooooo offended.
pathetic.
…and as an aside, you who consider us liberals who “don’t produce anything”, as a teacher in a private high school, don’t really have much place to talk - you make what, 30k a year? I KNOW I make more than you, and I’m pretty sure a Stanford Prof makes more than you too. Neither Hspder or I are employed by public institutions, yet you think we’re just moochers, or that we’ve got some scheme to control everybody.
like I said. you’re a fool. get a fucking life.

In your post, you said that you feel you’re right. Read your own fucking words.
Wait…if your willing to pretend that you didn’t write what you wrote, then what makes you think I’d pretend that you didn’t write it either?
