They are taking control of their own destiny's. They aren't choosing the option you would like them to take but so what? Why would they want to try and revolt against powerful warlords when they have the much safer and more lucrative option of raiding ships?
What is the difference? I'm sure it makes a big difference in a textbook but for everyday living it seems that the amount of food/clothes/etc you can get for a dollar is the only meaningful measure of its value.
China is already the big kid in their playground. If they had an interest in military expansion I don't see anything that could stop them at the moment. I think their government is smarter than that.
If everything is cheaper in China and so the Chinese can get more for one dollar than we can in the US, how does that not mean the dollar has greater value for the Chinese?

They said the ants with the short legs took the same number of steps. It would be unlikely that they would get tired or give up at that specific point.
That's an illusion. Information isn't being transmitted from point A to point B on the wall. Information is being transmitted from your laser to the wall, and that information is moving at light speed.
What's nonsense about dark matter? Do you dispute that we can observe far less mass then should be out there as suggested by the strength of gravity in galaxies?
This is nothing like a universal translator. If it was then it wouldn't work on 11 languages, it would work on all of them.
And you're jumping the gun a bit claiming hyperdrive as a real technology. Just because the pentagon is paying loads of money to research something doesn't mean it has any legitimacy, e.g. remote viewing.
Frequently when I am with my friends I will ask if they want to go to a coffeshop for some coffee. I rarely get coffee myself however, I much prefer tea. Does this mean that in my mind tea is a subset of coffee? Of course not. It's just lazy use of language, which is fine in that context because it gets the intended idea across.
Same goes for sushi restaurants. Sometimes when I say I feel like sushi, I end up getting soba. Certainly you are not going to argue that soba is a subset of sushi, are you?
Yuck, can can you possibly compare tuna sashimi with canned tuna? I hate that canned crap but tuna sashimi is heaven. Especially a piece of nicely marbled toro.
We are not the only ones who say sashimi is raw fish. Go to any Japanese restaurant or ask anyone who actually eats the stuff and you'll see. The sushi eating culture unanimously agrees that you're wrong.
The only character that is different in different in traditional is the third character, men2, but it's such a common radical I can't imagine the traditional form would be unrecognizable to many in the mainland. I've only studied Chinese for a few years but I can read both forms just as well.
TV's are using enough power to warrant government intervention? I doubt that highly.
TVs are one of the biggest consumers of household energy, and in case you hadn't been paying attention CA does have serious problems with energy production and distribution.
Why on earth should there be an exception for high end TVs? Does it make CAs energy problems easier to deal with if wealthy people are using the energy on expensive TVs?

Don't radio stations compress the audio so that it can be heard better in cars and other noisy environments? That would explain the loss of nuance.
If the pirates benefit from their investors, what good would it do ripping them off? That's not the way to run a sustainable business.

Depends on how you were going to get yourself to the store otherwise.
There would not be. There would be some fat, slow moving domesticated bear equivalent to the domestic cow.
I guess like a panda, but probably less cute.

You almost sounded worth listening to up until the pathetic partisan jab. Now you just sound like an idiot.
Their currency is called the Yuan.
Retail jobs are also being lost to online merchants, which no doubt frequently turn into outsourced IT support jobs.

How will more efficient TVs even result in suffering of any kind, let alone "suicide".

Is there seriously a patent on the type of light bulb used behind an LCD?
