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.

    Therefore that response is ok for someone in America but not China?

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