here's a Chinese walking by, and I ( very sure can be we) want:
Let us Chinese have a war with the US, and we'll be the strongest country if we win, or we'll have freedom.

wel, i'd say im not a good joke teller, or it's my translation failed.

ok, can anyone tell me how to emphasize the "FREEDOM" in this sentence?
Title: Re: Salute the US
Post by: Gabbe on 17 August 2010, 16:48:12
You mean you want to get freedom by having a war with the US?  :-\ :confused: :confused:
Title: Re: Salute the US
Post by: patz on 17 August 2010, 16:54:42
It's getting complicated... maybe i shouldn't reply with this... #_# I'll try to explain.

No one wants a war, esp. you believe your country will lose, right? Once you fail, you'll lose everything.
In this joke, it tells ppl at least we will have freedom, which we have none.

It's just ironic.

PS. also because the war in Iraq & Afghanistan, no matter which the "freedom" was brought to them.

I think he means that if the we go to war, either:

1.) China wins, so... good for them.
2.) USA wins, so we overthrow their government and the people are happy because we got rid of an oppressive regime.

Of course the third option is, like Gabbe said, both countries launch so many nukes that the entire planet is ruined forever with radiation.

I wonder how did this topic came to life... but since everyone says his country is the best...:

China started a world conquering war. Nations fall one by one, the USA soon collapsed, and the Chinese army was marching to Europe. At the Hungarian border, they found the Hungarian Army of 25.000 soldiers. The Chinese started laughing, and the Chinese general went to the Hungarian leaders:
-Hey, you, aren't you afraid of us? - he asked.
-Why would we be afraid of you? - replied the Hungarians.
-Because we have 30 million soldiers, and you have only 25 thousand.
The Hungarians looked each other shocked.
-Damnit, where will we bury 30 million dead Chinese???

Over here there's a thing called the right to free speech. You're supposed to uphold, not breach the Registration Terms.
So unless you have a good reason to remove this topic, you'll be breaching the Registration Terms.

The US defines whos on the evil side and whos on the good, as long as NATO is good, then im good, so in my view, US is defining good very good.

not saying it's of no good, but a joke (which sounds misleading. :( ) in reply to "give in to the terrorists, chineese".

and the joke is:

Result of the war with the U.S. is: Win the world, or win freedom.

Our laws only keep the government from infringing on your freedom of speech, not individuals. ;)

Anyway, the key thing to remember is that this is the Glest forum.  It's not a political forum, it's not /b/, and it's not even a general gaming or free software forum.  I think it's a good thing that we have the off-topic board, as it builds community and whatnot, and it's a good place to ask questions and talk about our common interests.  However, remember that it's a privilege, and we don't have to have it.  The way it is now, I think it's fine, but if it becomes a distraction (like when the religion thread was still relevant), I'd say that's a bad thing.  In general, I'd say it's good to steer away from highly-controversial topics.  Personally, I don't think this one is especially bad, but others have been.

By the way, I think it's probably better to lock threads than delete them in most cases, so the thread stays here for reference.  That's my opinion, anyway.

While I don't think the US's actions are anything but good (in most cases), its true that they define "good" with their actions. If they decide something, its right and every one else is wrong. It's really all a matter of perspective. Nobody thinks of themselves as bad, even the terrorists think what they are doing is good. Thus, good and bad is all a matter of perspective.

Also, no country is perfect, and all have their faults. While the US may be basically "good" (from the perspectives of its own citizens), it does have some bad things as well (seen by public opinions of some government choices, such as Obama's "cash-handout" and the war on Iraq).



As for deletion of topics, its best off to lock them, in my opinion, because otherwise links may become broken (such as cross topic quotes) as well, unless it violates the board rules, there's no complusive need for it to be deleted, or even locked. While its definately a biased topic and may be controversal for the many of us who are non-american, it doesn't do any harm and should it get out of hand, can be locked.
