Chinese report on US Human Rights

[asmo]

Makes me proud, but we need to go get those gun ownership numbers up.

That's like the pot calling the kettle red.

I must have missed the part where China actually said what they wanted the U.S. or the rest of the world to do about our rampant gun ownership.

We also have more motor vehicles per person than any other country in the world. Subsequently, we have more vehicular deaths than most other countries. Does that mean we are violating human rights by allowing citizens to possess and utilize automobiles?

China is tired of being the U.S. whipping boy for human rights violations. Frankly, I feel the same way about "human rights violations" that I do about "hate crimes." These types of things are subjective interpretations of concepts that do not translate cleanly across cultures in different stages of development.

I don't believe the U.S. will reply to this obvious distortion of statistics and flawed logic, but there is always a chance that someone pretty high up in the federal bureaucracy will feel compelled to apologize for another basic right that he believes the Founding Fathers got wrong. He is entitled to his opinion, just like I am entitled to believe he is dead wrong, again.

Be safe.

Well ain't this rich. A nation which has murdered at least 50 million of her own citizens calling out the United States.

meh...fuck china.

probably written by hillary clinton for china to publish.

[Mazin]

Good to know China is trying to keep tabs on all the american's that have guns. It's even better that they are discounting the number of guns owned.

Chinese propaganda quoting the NY Times. Love it.

I feel fairly certain that Ridge wasn't trying to say that we should be concerned with what China is reporting.

It is entirely possible that MLP is actually ChiCom mind control and they actually subverted him to their ways.

I've only started since March, but there are nine guns in the safe right now. Room for one more
