Come on.  We are talking about Singapore.  What does Singapore have in
common with China and Taiwan?  They are all run by a single party that is
dominated by Chinese-cu blowhards.

In _none_ of these countries is there _any_ respect for individual liberties
and freedoms that are so prevalent in the United States of American and
Japan and the rest of the Free World.  For some sick reason, there is the
disgusting need in Chinese-cu culture to silence opposing ideas, to _kill_
those who have opposing ideas, etc.

I'm surprised that more Chinese-ge children, reared in Chinese-cu culture,
haven't committed suicide due to these conditions.  _Know_ the difference
between China and Japan; not _all_ Orientals-ge are the same.  Western-cu
society is a gorgeous super-nova; Japan-cu culture is a Rising Sun.  Chinese-cu
culture is this dark piece of crap somewhere on the other side of hell.

It _is_ pretty dark in hell, isn't it?

Hey, sister!  These are Chinese-cu people that we are talking about.
Look again at the societies that Chinese-cu culture has created.

Does Mr. Tan see any Chinese-cu nation where there is respect for differing
opinions?  No way!  At least, not untill hell freezes over.

It _is_ pretty hot in hell, isn't it?

See above.

Have a nice day!
