    I care mostly about myself. Just like you care mostly about yourself. You certainly don’t use the same criteria against any other country.

    I have empathy for many people. I care about all lives. I never once said I hold this view exclusively about China. We were talking about Chinese cars, so I said I don’t trust them.

    USA is much worse, much more pervasive, much more massive.

    Disagree. You should spend time in Asia and talk to the people there, follow the news, etc. You might learn something.

    China bad, USA is worse.

    Ok, so how does that invalidate me not wanting a Chinese car or a Chinese cellphone exactly? Since that’s how this started…

    Same goes for the USA.

    No, this is wrong. The government can do a lot, yes, but it is not a dictatorship.

    Nope. It gathers mass information all the time. This conversation is being recorded by the USA because all traffic on the internet is being recorded by them. They didn’t need to ask anybody.

    It really isn’t, but whatever.

    You are more paranoid than me but also racist from the looks of it.

    How, exactly, am I racist?

      Do you? Even about Palestinians and Yemeni and Saudi Arabians?

      Disagree. You should spend time in Asia and talk to the people there, follow the news, etc. You might learn something.

      Disagree all you want. The fact that NSA has software in all routers and hard drive firmware and sim cards has been widely reported.
