I don't disagree with that at all.

Companies and the entire world has for a long time been way too cool with China's human rights abuses. We let them have an Olympics.

But they pay 100% of all their citizen's health care, right? I mean, their system is one to follow? Isn't that what Bernie and Warren are preaching? And their drugs cost way less too I'm guessing.

The audio of Steve Kerr stuttering when asked directly is hilarious. He went from ultra woke to silence with this issue.

$$$$$$$$

And that’s cool if Kerr is all about the money, he is a capitalist. But please do not lecture me about your moral superiority on issues in our country but when asked about the worst human rights violator in the world, you won’t speak up. Lebron is in the same boat as Kerr.

America imprisons more people than any other country in the world. So, by your logic, literally everything about America is awful.

Thanks for playing!

This isn't going to be another one of those deals where I'm absolutely right and I have to explain it to you over the course of 6 posts again, is it?

I bet China does, unless they just execute them.

So it's all or nothing? These countries don't have strengths we could try to implement into our country? Their flaws automatically eliminate them from consideration?

Generally speaking they tend to say we should emulate the governments of Scandinavia, Western Europe, and/or Canada. Not China.

However you rarely want to draw comparisons to countries such as Canada or those in Western Europe.

No. But don't take all my posts literally.

I might add that I have no idea what imprisonment has to do with health care. And I said it because of China's system of control.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Lol. Herk, love ya, homie, but that gif is pretty fitting for you in this thread.

Total ass wipe.

I can clue you in as it relates to Iowa.

After Governor Braindead closed down all those nut huts, guess where many patients ended up?

LMAO………. obviously no one followed the humor in my post. I give up.

We all swing and miss now and then.

And what does healthcare have to do with China's human rights abuses? Nothing

Ya, I missed that one. My bad @FlickShagwell .

 

[Fijimn]

I am surprised that Fertitta hasn't fired Morey. Tillman is cool with you rolling tanks over 1,000 Chinese babies, as long as he can put an extra nickel in his pocket....that dude worships at the house of coin.

Here bitch...………. SHOOT ME!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the clip is big enough to please you!!!!!!!!!

Herk, turn that frown upside down.

You know I love you, gurl.

But but but the are just one step removed from a democratic socialistic utopia i have been told. They just went a little too far I guess...

No they don't.

 

[Run&Blade]

Do you see a lot of people with birth defects and other genetic issues in China or are these individuals euthanized early in life?

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

I missed the part where China was ever democratic.

Again if you want to play the comparison game that's fine, but at least compare to nations that liberals have generally thought we should emulate. Don't just make up your own.

 

[Rifler]

Hell, they put down females at birth,.... what do you think?

No, they are what your president wants the USA to be. An autocratic system where the common person has no rights. But go ahead and spout your russian type propaganda.

Voting for trump?

This makes zero sense.

I would assume it doesn't for you. But I don't know how to dumb it down for you.

He’s your President too.

What about the outspoken NBA players and coaches who are so vocal about their distaste for our political system and our judicial system, but put a mic in there face and ask how they feel about China’s Communism and they are mum. It’s embarrassing and tells you all you need to know about what they are willing to stand for and why.

I can't stand Clay Travis, but is he wrong here?

 

[Rudolph]

Yes. He’s wrong because as with most international business relationships, things are more complicated than all of us armchair qbs like to consider.

The NBA has invested a shit ton of resources—financial and otherwise—into growing the game globally. To some extent it is a good will thing, too, supposedly representing American values in so doing.

Overreacting, yelling at Chiba for being China, especially given the United States’ much-reduced global standing right now, would be imprudent.

The NBA is viewed as a leftist institution, so of course the Right sees an opportunity to be hyper-critical (and conveniently hyper-simplistic in so doing).

I coached a kid, now a young man, who is a director of NBA Global and he is there. Exchanged a few texts and gist is holy shit this got real complicated real fast and going to take great care to navigate and in no uncertain terms he said—the world frankly has lost a lot of respect for the USA in the last year or so.

It’s a new world.
