So was Kafka. I recommend that CCP cadres read his novels.

PS. If you understand German or ever learn German, you (will) have the opportunity to experience his texts as they were originally intended to be read, with all the innuendo that comes from using words that can be interpreted in a number of ways and the way he exploits German grammatical features, such as positioning of the verb at the end of a sentence, to create incredibly complex sentences.

Yes indeed, you have not become “close minded” for you have not the mind to close and have not even the quality of character or ability to question the motives of Swift’s essay, which was to shame the English who mis-ruled Ireland during his time. Swift was not a “misanthrope” and neither have I acted as a bigot. Rather than worrying about your precious self reflection, you should try to be honest enough to worry about the time you have wrongfully wasted in indulging your pride and poor sensibilities at the expense of others.

You’ll notice I offered two options. One was that you found it funny. Demonstrated by the flippant nature of your comments and that you found irony in the reporting of the incident. The second that you found it an appropriate response by a higher being (buddha, karma, God) upon the Chinese for the actions of their government. I was merely illustrating that children were hurt, maimed and killed on a mass scale. And I doubt those children had been going around committing CCP evil. And unfortunately when you take a disaster like that lightly it is impossible to differentiate between those that deserve their fate and those that do not. You have yet to demonstrate this sensibility and come across as callous.

I should actually thank you, as in the past few weeks I had been becoming very anti-chinese. Now I realise that I was becoming bigotted and close minded. It seems it is easier to get caught up in mass hysteria than I realised. I doubt that I will approve of the humanitarian abuses that they are accused of, but neither will I write off an entire ethnicity of people based on the actions of their ruling elite. Because doing such would make me like you.

Speaking of hats, you’re an asshat. God did not kill over ten thousand people because of policies made a thousand miles away in Zhongnanhai.”

Stupid comment I’ve ever read.

. . . In light of your recent comments you are probably in need of some self reflection. Do you really want to be that guy that finds this funny or appropriate response to the actions of a select few adults?

Did I say the earthquake is funny!? It is not, it is tragic and not deliberately evil as what the CCP has done in the past either.
Perhaps you are one of the people who would have been offended at A Modest Proposal?

“Zonath”, if I failed to offend you, then I must be having an “off-day”, indeed.

I would have argued that God is just a primitive anthropomorphism.

That’s the result of what they have been doing to N. Koreans. You know, God exists.

I also forgot my hat.
