So what? The point in having currency is a speculation of value between entities?

My experience (UK) is that landlords screw people over where they can - they want to make money but actually have a social responsibility for housing conditions. Most people I know…

I'm disregarding your views not censoring them.

Well put. I would further remark that this general debate is more a perspective of reformation versus revolution - which doesn't need to be tied to a capitalist/communist contrast.…

but those who don't enjoy it, can't say so. thats not a correct way to solve a problem. its a useless sacrifice.

>if advertisers establish metrics that are more closely aligned with their objectives then we'd all be better off Disagree. Thats a personal value judgment and an ethical perspecti…

The criteria for censorship at the 20 points level - could be debated as - quite healthy criteria. Criteria such as the government controlling online harassment is classed, rightly…

Excellent. I'd love to see a not that handles recruitment too.

Now you are just making stuff up. I give up. I don't believe you. I don't believe you can't see the difference between identifying propaganda and being part of it. Your arguments a…

You've confused 'identifying propaganda in action' with 'actively engaging in delivering propaganda'. Over and over again in these threads you have defended Taiwan as a sovereign s…

I grew up in a similar way. My departure point was somewhere between okc and kid a. I can't stand most their music now. A still like the first 5 EPs but even Pablo honey is a hard …

Explain. Explain one country that I am in any way supporting the propaganda of. If its because I am drawing attention to Taiwan not being fully recognised, as per our earlier threa…

What a totally irrelevant post. I was posting about the Chinese government response. The way they handled the problem. At no point is anyone denying the attack. >All the world shou…

Government workers produce fake social media outside of China too. Public opinion outside of China is very important for business and strategy. Present China as an improving progre…

Its all relative. Its not a contradiction to say at the moment China doesn't have much reason to invade - but also point they have had reason before and may again. Let me put it be…

We probably agree on a lot. Our radical different positions are only really evident in the subtleties of semantics. I think thats dangerous for China. People get tortured, killed a…

I agree with you! Taiwan is peaceful and Taiwanese people are Taiwanese. And yes Taiwan is different to the areas I mentioned. I also agree that China doesn't really have a reason …

It is, I agree. But when push comes to shove it demonstrates internationally countries wouldn't support defending Taiwan if China did invade. They couldn't even support Taiwan as a…

Why not? So you really want me to explain why people should have free speech, at this level of debate, it is unbelievable you could ask - why not? Let me give you the big why not: …
