Maybe it’s because kids today are exposed to so much violence in their movies, TV shows and videogames, but whatever the reason, a group of grade-school kids on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night prescribed extreme measures for dealing with China when or if that country demands the U.S. fulfill its debt obligations to the Asian nation.
One boy recommended that the U.S. “kill” all the Chinese. Another one suggested we build a huge wall (which Jimmy Kimmel referred to jokingly as a “Great Wall”) to keep all of the Chinese out of the U.S.
I don't think its that so much as their racist parents putting these ideas in their head..yeah you go kill the chinese who outnumbers us 3 to 1, good luck with that.
China owns less than 10% of US debt. Contrary to popular misconception, the US is far from owned by China. The US has had debt since the days of Washington, and we've heard the same hackneyed arguments over and over again. Yet the US is still here.
How about printing enough dollars to pay off the Chinese and tell them we don't want their money anymore. Wouldn't that cause the dollar to drop? Of course, and make their products more expensive , easing the deficit.
Your logic is nonsense. Your action is typical overreact. Jemmy's sarcastic program is bad joke gone too far over board, but you as adult is more wrong if not outrages. If you really think US is a socialist country, go back to Capitalist China nowadays. We won't miss you. In your post you are full of partisanship, is this your GOP propaganda creation? A disclaimer, I am an independent, last time didn't vote Obama.

It is very sad that I left a communist country but I am living in a socialist country now. Margaret Thatcher used to say the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. These kids now push that even further. They want to wipe out the creditors. The liberals are endorsing it. They are educating future thugs whose main purpose in life is to share other people's money. Considering the fact the KKK is also part of the Democratic Party, this incident really did not surprise me that much. I came here 16 years ago as a student. I was shocked how fast this great country is perishing. Republicans got to do something to get the country back.

So was the kid removed from his parents and placed in the hands of the state agency to examine his stability and investigate if his parents were neglectful for these comments?

Kids will say all sorts of things. Who cares? They're kids.
It's sad that a major media group proposed killing as a solution to a serious problem. Racial offence aside, hasn't the country seen enough killing by kids to solve their problems? It is a sliding slope for ABC to get young kids involved to air this very dangerous idea. It may spread to indifference and callousness to killing of people in other countries (see the examples of Americans to the civilian killings in Muslim countries) and then eventually to killing of people in this country.
Jobs didn't go to china because of debt, they went to china because of lax regulations and cheap labor. That has changed. Those jobs that were in china are now in some even worse 3 world country with even more laxed regualtions and a even more impoverished work force to exploit.
Jobs go to China and third world countries because companies here want to make more money for themselves. Look at Apple. They make all their Ipad and Iphone in China. They pay workers there a fraction of the minimum wage here and make huge profits.
It is not kid talk. Jimmy Kimmel's wife Molly McNearney and her team wrote the skit.
The kids' statements were scripted?
