O/T To RealMuLan, I make the following response to a post pointing out that the US has more people imprisoned than does China: Message 24380520 And I merely pointed out the VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE that China is far more inclined to execute criminals convicted of corrupt activities and other crimes than is the US (and I don't really have a problem with that): And then you assert that my comments are baseless and you ban me from your thread: Message 24380626 But they ARE NOT BASELESS.. they are documented.. news.bbc.co.uk Using figures tallied from publicly available reports, Amnesty International said that since an anti-crime campaign, Strike Hard, was launched in April, China has carried out at least 1,781 executions and passed 2,960 death sentences. In contrast, Amnesty International counted 1,751 executions in the rest of the world over the past three years. Yes.. China executed more criminals in 3 months than the entire world had executed in the previous 3 years.. (and that was in 2001). So you need to take a chill pill, my friend.. I'm not criticizing China for executing it's criminals. In fact, I wish more of our convicted felons were executed for their heinous crimes (including some of the outrageous white collar crimes). I certainly applaud this execution: boston.com Besides.. is that really what you want to do?? Ban people from your discussion thread merely because they post what you perceive is a counter-criticism to your own very derogatory posts? Message 24359896 siliconinvestor.com Does this represent your vision of the "True Face of China"?.. Censor all potentially controversial or derogatory information? No need to respond to this post on this thread. Just sending you a message since you banned me. Respond to me there like a true intellectual on your own thread (once you unban me..;0) Hawk
