Ever think China is going to invade Afghanistan? I think it's possible. Probable? I don't know.
Why? Do they need rocks?
China is eventually going to invade everybody sheerly on principle. They'll probably win, too.
I mean, nuke 4 million of 'em and whoever happens to be lording it over the peons with an iron fist at any given moment will just send another 4 million at you. From a numbers perspective they're unbeatable. Or at least inexhaustible.
From a real perspective, nuclear holocaust :(

i dunno, saying "fuck" a lot doesn't make it a rant.
Hmmm...
I guess I could talk about Wal-Mart, which gets the majority of its inventory from a port in California that is owned by the Chinese, as well as China's stranglehold on the US economy (their recurrent bail-outs, which make further inflation all the more dangerous), and the ever-present threat of "recession" - not to mention the national debt ... all of which combine for a dismal picture of this nation's future - thereby prompting a dominant-submissive relationship between US and China in which we are subject to the whims of a less-than-humane government.. further ruining our reputation abroad, and possibly instigating WWIII between West and East kind of like the Cold War on steroids, but that would just be too depressing, no?
see it needs to be ranty, like you start out on a subject and get more and more excited about it, until you're completely .. well, RANTING about it!
you're allowed to use swearwords, of course, but they don't make the rant.
btw, these are just my thoughts/advice, you don't need to listen to me, cause i hardly ever wrote anything long and/or rantish.
Hm... I actually am agitated, now. This post might survive yet.
Americans owe about $2 trillion, almost $20,000 per household (as of 2003 - see: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/SavingandDebt/P70581.asp (http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/SavingandDebt/P70581.asp) ). That doesn't include mortgage debt, either (which we all know has skyrocketed). Now, we're tapping into auto loans to cover the spread. How does anyone really, truly *own* anything anymore? And, if we don't own the things that were formally taken for granted, who does? Banks? Big Business? The government?
According to http://www.seeingtheforest.com/archives/2006/03/who_owns_americ.htm (http://www.seeingtheforest.com/archives/2006/03/who_owns_americ.htm), we don't own diddly skwat. So, if a big nation like China comes along, bails us out in the short-run and then withdraws their fiscal support, better start saving up those discarded yogurt containers. You'll need the plastic for nourishment.
Well you have it now...
...you have your 30 cent tube socks
...your deflated money
...your "American" factories in some shit island off the coast of china, with you slave labor, and Chinese/ AmericanTM political connections
...your rumbling economy
...your deflating conscious
...your ever so wonderful "door greeting" "puke mopping" "high benefit" jobs
...you have your parking lots and your worthless junk, and your drab cloths that stink up after one wash
I hope you like it, cause you damn well deserve it.
What have you done to not?... shitting in your bricked up lonely so-called "restraunts"... sipping your shitty Vietnamese grown coffee complaining about your so-called "government" and how things were better is your so-called "good 'ld days"
Well guess what?
When they finally completely enslave us, destory us, or turn us all into some machanical shitfest these things you have now (as pathetic and lacking in sensation as it is) which you complain about, will be all there is left.

Can't help but notice the similarity between that and this:
Choose Life.
Choose a job.
Choose a career.
Choose a family.
Choose a fucking big television,choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers.
Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance.
Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments.
Choose a starter home.
Choose your friends.
Choose leisurewear and matching luggage.
Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics.
Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning.
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.
Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life.
Good rant, man. You should write for an underground paper or something.
actually its the first half decent thing i wrote in months
didnt proof read it enough
cause i did it on the spot
i think that was problem of lately
I came to really appreciate the more delibrate, well thought out rants that Cain does... but now im just finally coming to realize i can't really do that well
I need to just take a subject and go with it
should have proof read it more
but like I said did it on the spot

China's not invading anywhere.
I hate to break everyone's "fear China" bubble, but its not happening. China barely has a capable blue water Navy, which is a prerequisite for anyone serious about considering tangling with NATO. Japan are invested in Afghanistan reconstruction and Japan scares the shit out of China, because its rich, has a militaristic past, is procuring arms at an ever increasing rate and is within short distance of its most heavily populated/economically most vibrant regions. I wont even go into China's fears about the Seventh Fleet and USAF pounding what professional soldiers they have into fishfood in the South China Sea.
Not to mention China already has a high level of civil duisturbance in the first place. The CCP are looking to deal with the threat of revolution from below, not go picking fights outside their country. Its possible a crazy nationalist faction could take charge, or if the CCP was faced with the choice between war and revolution they would choose war....but their power projection capability sucks, and the US has the regional allies and diplomatic clout to give China lots of grief.
China may be a Great Power....but its hardly a superpower, and wont be for a long time to come.

Tr00f. Thanks for saying this--I never get the "we're all gonna be CHINESE in 10 years!" shit. NO, we won't. We'll be more Latino here in CA, that's for sure, because we already ARE--but that's old news, as we were Mexican BEFORE California was even HERE, so yeah, we'll be pretty well Mexican AGAIN. Feh. Who cares. New boss, same as the old boss. But I digress.
China and India both have garnered this fear-loathing-respect circle in popular media that has me scratching my head. Somewhat like the Japanese scare of the 80's...THEY'RE GONNA GETCHA! SOON THEY'LL BE TAKING EVERYTHIN OVER AND R00L TEH WORLD!!!oneone
But no. They have a better chance of fixing their internal problems FIRST, their neighbors SECOND, then deal with the West. That's a looooong time coming. Longer than any of us will be around. And nowadays, as the US invasion of Iraq goes to show--battles are better fought and won over a boardroom with shares and international monies changing hands than with hand-to-hand, bombs and rocket-launchers.

other then Booty as far as i know no one was really talking about China anymore ( i know I certainly wasn't but going off his walmart comment )
we were trying to get him to do a better rant
There is indeed a sharp increase in anti-Chinese sentiments here, as of late. The Chinese are starting to take the place of Latinos as the trendy people to fear and distrust. All the scared people express their fear of the "giant red billion-legged centipede that is Communist China" by saying "Oh, those Chinese, they're gonna start the next World War", or "theres something fundamentally wrong about their culture that I just don't get." or "Who knows what they're putting in our food!"
Meh. I just find it all ridiculous. Same old pattern of racism and paranoia.
The real fear should come from Saudi Arabia. I'm sure everyone has noticed the crippling effects of oil prices, and if Saudi Arabia should decide to stop trading with the U.S., our infrastructure would be crippled within months. Then we'll all end up fat and lazy because we can't get to work...oh wait...
As for Latino immigrants, the only thing to fear from the 'Latino Invasion' is the idiotic psychopaths who want to build a ginormous wall around the country with Latino-seeking missles and maybe laser turrets. It's kind of ironic when everyone yells 'They're taking our jobs!!' but all the jobs have been shipped overseas, so what are they taking?
The real thing America should fear is our own inability to elect a legislative and executive branch capable of using common sense to achieve anything.
Last 2 posts are win. The Saudi Arabia thing, unfortunately, is another American/Western chimera of a particularly nasty nature, but other than that...well done.
-fear mongering -i don't believe in it or support it but this thread seems to be the place for spreading the fear ,so just for fun i would like to propose .
we should all be afraid of pakistan . here is why -they are a unstable dictatorship , they have nukes , there top scientist already sold the nuke secrets to "the really scary people" ,they are in a lukewarm war with there neighbour India ,there schools and mosques teach the kill unbelievers brand of fundamentalist Islam ,the number 1 "bogeyman " may be hiding there ,there sense of self preservation "due to instability" is questionable unlike china Iran and N Korea who have a strong will/ability to sustain there survival , the nature and type of big problem that might come from there is hard to predict , the consequences and direction the subsequent chain of events might take is even harder to predict.
if the shit ever does hit the fan i nominate pakistan as a likely point of contact
the fear has now passed please return to you normal daily activities

If China is going to start a war with anyone, my guess is it would be Taiwan. There's still plenty of random animosity between them. Random animosity. Randimosity. Randy Moss-it, E!
I personally love Chinese food.
Oooh Oooh!!. Since so many people are under so much stress being afraid of China, let's file a frivolous lawsuit for emotional distress!
Then we can fix the defecit and boost the economy!

:mullet:
US Seventh Fleet deterred aggression towards Taiwan before. Furthermore, the situation is tense, but its kind of like the situation between North and South Korea....there is a high level of, shall we say "understanding" between the two about Taiwanese independence. China's smart enough to know they've survived this long without Taiwan and that while getting it back would be hugely beneficial, pissing off their top two trading partners in the effort to do so would be a bad idea. Its just not worth it, from a cost/benefit analysis, thoough they'll keep up the pretence to appease nationalists.
Also NN, I agree. The China threat is being hyped by a bunch of National Security inclined, Republican linked militarists and thinkers who are sore they got owned by the end of the Cold War and are looking for new relevance for their discredited political theory (offensive realism). While I'm sure many of those advocating it are not racist, their rhetoric often appeals to those who are. Furthermore, the Chinese economy is basically a free market anyway, since the state owned companies allow their prices to be set by market forces. China's hardly looking to export a worldwide Communist revolution like Lenin was.
cain you are foiling the plot we must have a bogieman to be afeared of ,your common sense rational approach to global politics is NOT GOVERMENT APROVED
