But they have more important works to do - that is FARM ... You are SO BOURGEOIS!! Oh... the people have to farm so they haven't got time to send their kids to school in order to learn how to read and write. I find it amazing that you communist elitists haven't bothered to ever try to educate those 900 million poor farmers. Does this mean that the Chinese revolution of 1949 merely resulted in a transfer from one form of despotism to a more brutal one? Have the Chinese peasants achieved nothing over the past 50 years that they can't take the time to educate their children? How the hell are they supposed to read their communist literature? Btw, I think we should take this debate to the Asia Forum... We're getting a bit "off topic" on this thread. Regards, Ron

"But I don't like the fact that there's a SINGLE GOD-LIKE LEADER controlling your thoughts with a bible and holy order you." What facts Q ?? Why do you assume I'm Christian. What SINGLE GOD-LIKE LEADER do you assume is controlling me ?? Personally I think the word controlling belongs mostly to those who seek to control. I would qualify the above further and say I would rather give my heart and soul to Jesus Christ than follow in the foot steps of the corrupt devils Marx and Engels that have led China to the present state of corruption. There is nobody controlling my thoughts and my influences are limited to Ayn Rand and G. K. Chesterton. My great grandparents from Clare and Cork County Ireland could not read or write but they knew right and wrong. A Chinese peasant was a more valuable commodity 100 years ago in Canada than an Irish one. That Chinese peasant you are killing is my brother. Follow this link Q. This lady escaped from a regime similar to your own. She could not read or write English and was a Jew. She became an American, learned English and her books are still best sellers. aynrand.org
