The Incredulous One

Hey, if it wasn't for the pet food, baby food, and general food contamination issues, China could be well respected in the world, if it wasn't for the dirty coal emissions, human rights violations, the rampant intellectual property theft, and the Communism. But they can sure put on a hell of an Olympics, can't they?

After how many tons have been shipped to the U.S. for human consumption? Ever look at the dog food bags? Find one not made in China if you can. As for most of the other accusations, the same could be said about America. Have a clue how many hungry children there are in this country? You know, the ones the teabaggers are so angry at because their parents are on the dole and the republicans are going to get even with by cutting off their free school lunches and take them off food stamps if their parents dare to join a picket line.

    As for most of the other accusations, the same could be said about America.

    For example?

    Have a clue how many hungry children there are in this country?

    That's quite an interesting defense of China. Have an idea how many Chinese children are hungry in China?

    ...the republicans are going to get even with by cutting off their free school lunches and take them off food stamps if their parents dare to join a picket line.

    Have a link for this ridiculous assertion or just a lot of talk?
