China to Deploy Secure GPS by 2010

Oops, I thought you were going to say "USA", but that would have been "belief that their culture is superior", wouldn't it?

    If the slants and the dot-heads blow each other to fuck I will totally laugh. Bonus points if Russia gets caught up in it.

    We can finish the niggers off later.

    It's not the same thing. One is private enterprise trying to make money and the other is an evil totalitarian state trying to reach technical parity with the US military so it can invade tiny, democratic Taiwan and deter the US from intervening.

    Is that like an evil, thinly veiled fascist state using its hegemony to invade even tinier Iraq (economically orders of magnitude smaller and about the same population wise) and using its military power to deter anyone else from intervening? Frankly, I have no problem with bullies challenging other bullies. When bullies fight, they both get what they deserve.

    Your source doesn't support your statement regarding the Democrats... or your sig for that matter. Please reread the report critically and try to use an original thought. The 90's are over, man, time to come up with a new screed.
