Human rights in the US are worse than you think

[nang2]

What Americans should watch out is the rampage of political correctness, which is just tyranny with manners. They are more likely to tramp liberty in the name of human rights.

As if having the government put a gag in your mouth to force you to shut up is supposed to be better???

So now you have nobody talking and thus nobody doing anything. Which makes your government happy.

Actually badmouthing the government is the most popular pastime in China, your wife didn't tell you that? But talking is just for fun, we have professionals and highly capable experts taking care of the country, Trump or Bush can never land a place in the Chinese government.

Nope. The eyes freeze shut at those temperatures.

Yapping during a Mahjong game is different than public news media. She also says people don’t yap about it infront of strangers unless they want to bring trouble upon themselves. You know those games are all about cliques.

They did a better job than US politicians at least.

Show this to your wife, she must know it and let her tell you the story.

Well maybe but the opposite is being cavalier about things and that only shows and promotes insensitivity.

We cannot equate rationality with insensitivity, although rationality demands some coolness in our heads. Sensitivity, however, is squarely in the realm of emotion, the favorite playground of demagogues.

Well the other day I posted an Audrey Hepburn clip from “Breakfast at Tifanny’s” and immediately the person slammed that movie for Mickey Rooney’s asian buffoon character...and rightfully so. However back then probably nobody thought twice of it.

Oversensitiveness may be just another expression of suppressed frustration.

Well maybe oversensitivity is a result of previous backlashes...not sure if the frustration is justified or not.

Possible. That just shows the peril of emotion, which easily gives you highly polarized exchange without any hope reaching to some common ground.

Well I guess if people scream at Mickey Roomey that could show emotion..but emotional or not it really doesn’t make a difference to the raw problem. Emotion is just ephemeral anyway.

Rationality is very energy consuming. People cannot stay rational all the time. To save energy, people resort to pattern creation and pattern matching. Mostly it is subconscious so it saves energy. But it also forms bias and prejudices, which often are labelled as sexism, racism, etc, etc. People should fight against conscious bias but tolerate subconscious ones. However, with political correctness and in emotionally charged societies, the latter is not tolerated but the feeling against it is weaponized.

You are very right. The discrimination here is terrible and no one should try to come here. The American Dream is only a nightmare, with no human rights. Please stay away. After all, just look at the pictures.

OmG! Really? Then why are you there?

If the old USSR had a similar proposal how many takers would be there

You make it sound like the Whites in America did not work hard. The North and West were not built by the Blacks
Pakistanis keep coming into USA every year. I am sure if not for immigration checks the numbers would be higher

No I didn't make it sound like that,It's just your perception. All european immigrants put their differences aside to enslave and use blacks for labor,etc. Those Pakistanis come with some sort of papers and would never massacre those natives with hospitality.
