Yeah yeah, enough with the handwaving mecha, we get it "you offend people you die." Well I'll say it again: fuck off. You don't get special rights because you are offended or because you're a mob. If you're mobbed then that just makes the whole mob in the wrong. Where I come from we had a lot of that stupid thinking, it was called lynching, and they'd hang black folks from trees or set fire to them for simple offenses like whistling at white women. It's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Get it? Free speech exists for a reason, and people behaving like children over their offense are doomed to be offended again and again until they learn to behave in western culture like respectable adults. If you're offended feel free to hurl some epithets back.
the Solidarno?? logo is actually a misuse in this case.
No, it isn't. You don't have to tell me about Solidarnosc, I have that very same flag right here in my living room. It used to hang on my porch but it's become rather weatherbeaten and I don't want it destroyed, they being rather hard to get here in the US. This one was given to me by a very nice person back in Poland some years ago. It's a great reminder for me of my late father, who was a proud and active union man. We lived just outside Detroit during the Polish uprising, we knew everything that was happening back then and, not only do I remember riding home from school every day with my dad as we listened to the latest news of the strikes, I remember my father walking pickets. One day walkouts were common there back then as a show of support for the Polish workers, Detroit having a quite substantial Polish population.
And what happened there is exactly what will inevitably happen in China. As the middle class rises more people will become fed up with the tyrannical party leaders and China will have yet another revolution on its hands. Only this one will succeed - because now China depends upon the world for its economic sustainability, and a few Million workers sitting on their hands will cripple that economy. Time will come to skin a few fat cats, and the workers of China will have their rights.
