China pulls ahead in Stem Cells, U.S. invests in old businesses (autos, finance)

Quote from powerfade:

Typical evasion from the radical Christian right. My only point was that GWB banned vital scientific research because of pressure from people who believe in some bizarre fairly tale about goats with 27 eyes and lakes of fire and brimstone and a red guy with pointy horns (or possibly because he personally believes in that fairly tale). Since you can't deny it (because it's a fact) you resort to ad hominem and evasion.

Like I said, religious fanatics can be the cruelest of all.

Bug off you little dick. Somebody said that GWB and the Religious Right were absolutely correct and vindicated by subsequent events and you got your little panties all in a bunch...

Sucks to be wrong, doesn't it? But that's the difference between a man and an internet troll. When you realize that this research will take 20, 30, 50, 100 years or more to fully develop and bear fruit, and then you realize how stupid it is to say that 5 years of research proves anything, a man goes 'You know what? That's a good point'.

America has no future, I wonder how long it will take for the average person to figure it out. Looks like some are at the denial stage right now.


We had a great chance to cut loose the deadwood in the U.S. economy, and move forward.

Instead we mortgaged some of our future, and doubled down on the bad bet.

China will not be another US. 2008 olympics proved that to me decisively.

While China was busy "putting its best face for the world" entry and exit into beijing were restricted and certain polluting industries were (temporarily) shut down(God forbid tourists saw the horrible air quality in beijing, lol).

No freedom, no individualism and no sense of entrepreneurship. "chinese miracle" is nothing more than enslaving and prostituting of a large portion of the population for the benefit of few.

Wow, It appears you have not been to China. Perhaps you would like to go and see firsthand how entrepreneurship is alive and doing very well. Something I can't say the same for here in the US.

You DO understand that in this world economic downturn that China is still probably going to grow 6%+ this year right??

Best to you

The biggest mistake people make is looking at Western countries and developing countries superficially.

People come into China and see all those sky scrapers and starbucks on the corner and think China is no different from a modern western state. Problem is, you can build a sky scraper in Kazakhstan and it would mean exactly nothing.

Fact of the matter is, China is the world's sweatshop. Its population is used by companies from other countries to produce various goods.

I don't like GDP for great many reasons partly because it does not differentiate between a home company doing business in your country and a foreign company doing business in your country.

If you take out all the economic activity done by foreign companies you will find that China's economy is not so big after all.

China destroyed its nature in a mad rush to industrialize. Air quality in Beijing and elsewhere is awful. Water is polluted etc, etc.

China's road structure pales in comparison to US interstate system. China's banking system is not particularly good.

What makes a modern western state is not so much skyscrapers and starbucks, but RELATIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND THE STATE AND BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS

We have due process and rule of law and they don't. All the malls and sky scrapers are fleeting and superficial.
 
I agree with the sweatshop statement, Chinese workers work fairly cheap. They actually outsource to India, so they are not the absolute masters of cheap at this point. They have a long way to go in that country, currently 80% of waterways have raw sewage in them. That tells me a good bit about what the ruling class there thinks of the average worker..

Soo.... what's really eating you here.. you started your little rant posts on Easter Sunday... you are just a tad out of step with reality and the culture around you... and that part about "faggot panties nigger AK-47"... wow, you have to be sort of an autistic little bastard really, I've worked with a couple of them, nobody can value their own self worth and meager talents like those jerks...

I just can't stop diagnosing people and I get it right a lot nowadays...
 
I have been on this forum since 2005.
IShopAtPublix is the most idiot poster I have ever seen here.
He makes the simplest investment error which is equate value and opportunity with perfection. Even worse, the "perfection" in just a perfection in his point view, heavily biased by his political point of view. On Ignore
