America or China

I quite like the Chinese recently.. I live in a country that hates them but still, I think they might just be a misunderstood great bunch of lads. On the other hand, I hate America in the last while.. In a hypothetical world where the two went to a non-nuclear war that didn't affect any other country, I think I'd be rooting for the Chinese.

Am I alone on this?

If there was a nuclear war, we'd all be ****ed.

Yea, that's why I said non-nuclear.

It's because all this cyber warfare stuff reminds us of the Chinese Hacker in Command and Conquer: Generals. It's not obsession, it's nostalgia.

Well in the highly unlikely event that the USA took over the world, many of your liberties would be taken away from you but you would have the freedom to visit malls and buy stuff all day long, and eat as much food as you want, including Chinese and Nepalese cuisine.

In the highly unlikely event that the Chinese took over the world a lot of your liberties would be taken away from you but you would have the freedom to eat a lot of Chinese food. Not Nepalese though.

I know which I'd pick.

Lads, I think there something wrong with the date on boards.ie; it should read the 2nd June 1998 instead of 2nd June 2011.

I don't know what this obsession about Chinese culture/food is. 99% of it is terrible! And if I were to pick a world government, I would rather American style democracy-lite over the Chinese mafia state

Thank you.

Do people honestly still think that joke is funny?
I search for China related posts a lot, in every single thread:


"The chinese, a great bunch of lads"
"number 32 please"
"Ching chong bing bong sum ting wong etc"

If you want to be a meme parrot head over to 4chan.

Chinese take aways in Ireland ≠ Chinese food.

Yup, that does my head in too. Was funny in father ted 2 decades ago. Not funny anytime a thread on China comes up

am been force fed cornation street all this week one good thing about was this super hot Chinese woman they have on which actually makes the soap worth 'watching' am quite attracted to a good looking one of these compared to an american woman, bring them on I say

If ever there was a government that didn't give a flying fúck about their own people it's the Chinese. I'm no fan of the American way of doing things either, but at least they just don't care about anyone else except their own!
Short answer, it's like when everton play man united - they're both a shower of assholes, i'm only sorry they can't both loose.:D:D

Compared to?
How does it measure up against a place like N Korea?

Can you elaborate?

Did the last Irish government care about it's own people?

So many people assume the food you get in your local takeaway is actually representative of Chinese food.

if i had to pick between these two to be world overlords / super powers id pick china every time , america is just a terrorist nation using the word 'freedom' and 'liberating' to take all the worlds oil and murder muslims

Lanaier

If I had to pick I would choose America.

But there are definitely less difference between the two then most people seem to realize.

America without a doubt. Id pick America against anybody to be honest.

And China is just using American money to buy all the worlds oil and murder anyone who crosses its path. America for all its faults is such a nicer place to be

Its the other way around in every sense.

China is funding the US and is keeping it afloat basically. The US has murdered thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan over natural resources, oil in Iraq possible unexplored precious metals. The US is doing this to fuel its consumer based, neo-liberal shithole. The fat slobs in America believe the almighty dollar is king, and have no sense of common interest. Although the Chinese have a human rights problem so does the US, both execute prisoners and engage in overseas imperialism. If I were to pick between the 2 I'd pick China. Free healthcare, thriving economy, low obesity and many other more positive things than the US.


TBH I'm glad I live in Europe, its better than both.

I like the States. In the States one is fully entitled to vocally express their crackpot views about the US being a terrorist nation etc.

And if America defaulted tomorrow China would be worth nothing, so America is keeping China afloat as well. China has murdered thousands for just questioning the government. If you are upper class and have money/connections then it is a fine place to live(indeed you can live above the law) and in that sense it is the biggest mafia state in the world. So I would pick the US over China(Although I have never been to either country)
