I dunno... yelling seemed to finally get the point through, getting past off-topic posts.  In any case, we have arrived at something more on topic, but I'm sorry it came to yelling.

 

Better yet, I can agree and/or sympathize with pretty much your whole post here.

 

It sickens me that our economy is also so closely tied with China.  How companies contribute to Chinese technology simply by accepting China's rules regarding doing business in the country is appalling.  About the only bright spot in all that is it suggests some lack of collective national ingenuity that dictatorships tend to foster.  

 

Perhaps (spitballing here) Australia can be more forgiven due to having less suitable trading partners in the vicinity. US companies, well, they dont have that excuse, so I dont extend them that grace.

 

The NBA just seems to take it further than the rest with their censorship.  I follow wrestling and MMA even less than basketball, so I'll have to take your word on Cena.  LeBron is on a whole 'nother plane of hypocrisy and disillusionment.

 

Cheers!

 

We have much to be ashamed of to.

Our treatment of our first nations peoples

War crimes in Afghanistan just to start. 

 

I have probably come over wrong 

I don't won't to apportion blame more confront our mistakes.

The only true path to not making the same mistakes is admitting you make them.

And we all do,both individually and as nations.

 

Hope you are having a good one.
