Time wounds all heels. Destroy me and I will become more powerful than you can imagine. To lie means that one day you will be caught in your lies, the longer it takes the worse it will be. Karma is a bitch.
The fact is that Western companies are making money by selling China technology to stomp on basic rights. We can dicker all day about what exactly that means, but what it boils down to is a combination of "we are just following orders" and "money trumps human rights". Greed and cowardice, the very pillars of modern corporatism.
You fail to see the business model. American business sells the Chinese all our technology so they can convert it to a draconian system of repression and suppression, the American business will then sell the rights to the American system to the Chinese (hello Baidu, so long Google) with a killswitch! A perfect scheme, total usurpation of the American way by foreign competition on the cheap. Wait until the bonuses come rolling in.
If the Chinese hire them to hang out around the water cooler, does that make them coolies?
Or better yet, you could be the focus of animosity because as a "whitey" you make more and work less at a company that obviously can afford to pay more to its indentured workers but doesn't.
I, for one, am not threatened by their speech or ideals, even though I don't agree with them.
Nor am I, however, never underestimate the power of human stupidity. If their rhetoric stopped at words only, I would have no problem. Islamists have a proven record of killing what doesn't suit their needs. These "people" and I use the term lightly, would cut off their nose to spite their face if it would prove a point.
An intolerant, closed minded, excuse of a religion deserves true excommunication. Cut off all web contact with Pakistan so that no slight, accidental or deliberate, could occur. People who insist on living in the past will be buried with it.
One language (JavaScript) to rule them all, one data model (XML and DOM) to find them, one set of layout rules (CSS) to bring text, audio, video, and graphics and in the darkness bind them.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Really, advances in tech is alright, but security remains the issue (something about security and freedom comes to mind). I feel that there is something about the porosity between the user and the web/cloud/network. The transfer of information between elements within a web page seems to be almost transparent. What assurances are there that malicious content is filtered out. Bad things have been done in the past under the guise of diplomatic immunity.
No amount of money can buy us another gulf. Therefore BP cannot possibly raise the funds to pay for their mistake. BP's market capitalization was $230 billion in 2007. Do you think the US would sell the gulf for $230 billion?
We sold it for $20 billion. Why do you think the price of gas is rising? BP is recovering it's "loss".
If we drove BP out of business, that would force every corporation in the country to wake up and start paying attention to the law. If we allow BP to continue to exist, there is no deterrent effect. We can expect to get fucked over yet again.
Good luck on that idea. The bought dog puppets won't allow you to take money out of their mouths. The only way that would work is to ride horses.
"Doctor Pinero" in Life-Line (1939)
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.
The Chinese should come to America, we've been running on virtual currency since the government went off the gold standard. How else could the private corporate banksters bankrupt a nation? Look at the world and prove this wrong. Announce NESARA, it's time to put these bastards away.http://www.nesara.us/pages/home.html It's time for the government to print the currency, interest free, backed by precious metals. Then and only then will inflation become manageable, if not reversed. Here's something worth watching.. http://truinternational2.blogspot.com/2009/06/part-1-part-2-legacy-of-freedom-that.html

You are obviously missing the implications for the advancement of dustbuster technology.
Don't worry, the Chinese will pirate it somehow.

"I want to be a rent boy for the Chinese!"
Take some Vaseline so you'll be ready when the company takes a dive. Then you can be a rent boy full time at 10 Yuan per day.

Many people trust private industry a lot less than they trust government. At least governments come up for a public vote every so often.
I would trust a car dealer before I would trust a politician and I don't trust car dealers.
Cyber ID's means not having to see the liar's lips move.
