Great infrastructure, right?

That's fine and dandy for a communist nation that oppresses it's people, oppresses religion, takes what it will from it's people, one-baby rule, has the highest rate of polution in the world, employs slave labor in it's industries, no labor unions allowed, no basic regulations and rules to govern all that infrastructure, censors it's press and the media at the Olympics, including the internet.

Not to mention that the majority of the population lives in the countryside without basic services and just barely getting by.

Obama, really, you need some "heartland" people working on your campaign.
Funny...real conservatives don't like unions. But, like another liberal McCain supporter, you're showing your true colors.

China is better off than we are. That's why I invest much of my money there and very little here. When we get our debts straight away, I'll change my philosophy. Until then, I'm going to go where the money is.

Evidence of slave labor please? Slavery is illegal in most civilized countries, China included. Those workers don't have to work there.

Stop being dramatic, man up to our deficiencies and do something about them instead of being jealous of China's success over us.

Were you alseep when the news blasted across our televisions the lack of services this country wasn't prepared to deliver in a time of extreme need by AMERICANS?

Did you see Bush get up there a say Brown was doing a GREAT JOB?

amazing
And watched as mayor idled his buses and didn't use the roads. You can lead one to infrastructure but you can't make them use it. The infrastructure was there but sometimes one can't overcome stupid local gov't.

It was a cat 3 hurricane, the IDIOTS were told to vacate. Levees can hold only so much. The Chocolate City white looking black mayor did NOTHING. Those who didn't decided to stay and SHOOT at law enforcement. Only an IDIOT would live BELOW sea level in a hurricane prone area. Darwin was right on this one.

So you're saying everyone in New Orleans is an idiot for living there?? wow

All those elderly and poor people with no means of transpotation ordered to "vacate" are just stupid black folk too, huh?

Oh, and the THOUSANDS who DID evacuate to the Dome or Convention center AS PER FEMA'S plan were just idiots. The Dome and Center were a disgrace! That was an american response on our soil???

Yeah, you Bushies stood behind him while he praised Brownie.

American infastructure is a disgrace! I live in NYC and our Roads are HORRENDOUS. We are prone to BLACKOUTS like when I had to walk for THREE HOURS to get home in 90 degree weather.

Our power grids are overwhelmed, our energy bills are outrageous, and oil has closed businesses down.

Yeah, you keep praising our infastructure.

I absolutey HATE China's human rights record. But i can't imagine being responsible for ONE BILLION plus human beings when we struggle with 300 million.

Put it this way, anyone staying there with at the time a cat 4 bearing down on them were idiots, white, black, purple or green. The off white mayor did nothing, the Gov did nothing, the fed said get the hell out.

Who's praising anything? Our energy bills are CHEAP Roscoe compared to the Euro's you're praising so much.

Oh noes, you had to walk 3 hours in the heat? I be feelin bad for ya, here's a dime to call someone who cares. What about the other 364 days?

Guess what? The Chinese aren't exactly responsible for the billion either, you think they care? They die, they make fertilizer, crab bait or dog food out of them. They don't care, you wouldn't last a week there......it's hot and the masses have NO air conditioning you know.
