| Milforum's Bouncer | Nasa you are a brave man to utter such things. I for one applaud your words and the courage it takes to say something like that from this country you live in. Kudos.

| Forums Grumpy Old Man | Post; The rise and fallQuote:
Do we remember Atlantis? Barely, through myths and legends. Ancient nations are but the dust that newer societies have formed that will also die and rise like the phoenix. All of the above quotes are truisms - just like your "quote" they point out that history is not static. When society becomes static, then that society slowly dies. The ONLY thing that can be described as eternal is "change".

| Milforum's Bouncer | Aye, but here in China to say such things can very easily be construed as sedition. To even whisper that China is less than the oldest and most continuous civilization and that it is not entitled to world leadership as such would draw the phlegm and vile hate of all and sundry. To speak of the communist party ever losing its grip on state leadership and control is absolutely regarded as treason and depending on a few variables could end with either re-education or a bullet. |

| MilForum Bad Apple | So then how did your leader feel about Bush coming to propose Democracy on China?
