source?

what about the ratio of pollutants to population?

China has 5x more people than America. They consume less than 1/3 of the oil we do.

American consumption is fine as long as the chinese are riding bicycles and eating rice. What happens when capitalist markets cause 1.5 billion people to start wanting ford explorers and mcdonalds? You think the world will handle that kind of drain on resources?

I have already started a revolution of capitalism in China. Now comes the socialist revolution in America. Get ready to kiss your conspicuous standard of living goodbye.

They also have no environmental protection laws of any sort...and yes they have too many people. Too many people is a type of pollution as well.

are you unfamiliar with the harsh breeding laws they have there? China has been trying to keep its population down for a long time.

they happen to be one of the oldest, most humble nations on earth. America could learn a lot from them.

They can't even begin to enjoy our standard of living until we stop taking resources and throwing them down the toilet.

The bottom line is that they are older and bigger, and yet still consume less than us. America is about to get its comeupance. Big time. Trust me on this one, bro. Either we get a brain and start consuming wisely, or the yellow invasion will take us out. They have nukes you know.

Yeah they have breeding laws now...which is still fucked up because it is taking people's freedoms. That situation is a mess. Their government is a repressive nightmare of a regime that will not blink at exterminating their own citizens. They have no environmental laws, and their waterways are fast becoming polluted in a horrible way. I will not trust you "bro" because you don't know enough about this to trust. China is not humble, but agressive and dangerous to their own population. A few years back I read about an explosion in a fireworks factory...the factory was also a grade school...the workers were all children under 12...yeah communism is really efficient...at using up humanity like it was fuel. Don't even get me started about the lack of safety standards in their places of work...

It cannot be estimated in money. It is sacred.

oh i know of the sacred, i'm just playing devil's advocate because i think it could be said that no experience a human can have could possibly prove that life has value. astral projection, ghosts, esp, and other paranormal phenomenon as well as normal phenomenon can only point to the possible existance of value, they are not a comment on the value of life.

Here's a good way to give yourself a healthy dose of 'Can I really die?' Kill yourself, if you live, you have evidence.  :smile:

China has nukes. Sure. But does China stockpile an insane number of them in nearly hamlet size submarines that can rlease 12+ warheads at a time to multiple locations in a thousand mile spread?

I think they have bigger fish to fry than a nuclear pissing contest. China's leaders are struggling to keep thier shit together, much less go capitalist.

The american government will rise. The american people will fall.
