The difference is, China goes in expecting to win Gold. Everytime. And when they don't they cry and cry. I don't care for Michael Phelps one bit, but I do find it funny that people said he wasn't going to get this achievement since he smokes pot.

I respect the Chinese athletes abilities, but not the way it came about. I don't think I will ever be able to respect China.
One of my favourite Popper quotes:
We do not choose political freedom because it promises us this or that. We choose it because it makes possible the only dignified form of human coexistence, the only form in which we can be fully responsible for ourselves.
China's success is not glorious, it is thoroughly shameful and despicable.

Freedom of choice is an illusion, a tool government use to control its population, only true freedom is when you can do whatever you want, anything less than that is not free, but as we are living in a society, rules are put in to ensure we can coexist with each other, but make no mistake you are shackled as well, the only difference is you think our shackle is tighter and you don't realize you have one yourself.

Do you have something against periods?
Waiting to move to Texas. My new house should have much faster internet, allowing me to play Mabi again. :D

I guess living in a black & white world where 99% is black is necessary if you want to feel good about rooting for black. The People's Republic of China is still a despicable monstrosity either way, just as the Soviet Union was. That the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of France or the United States of America etc. ad nauseaum are not exactly utopias of liberty (often far from it) doesn't change a thing about that.
And that I hate your state doesn't mean I admire mine. Just saying.

Utopias don't exist for a reason, what you want from a society just can't exist as long as you are living inside a society, I don't know why you hate China so bad but I will defend it, so many counties accuse China when themselves are no better, I find it hypocritical and that disgust me more.

Nevermind, it's pointless.
