I usually agree with your posts in this thread and I'm no fan of Gates, but that's straight-up conspiratorial.

I'm also not a fan of Gates but I think the point of the post is to show how stupid the "Gates is trying to chip us through a vacination" thing is. They can already track you if they wanted to because we all carry cell phones and share most of our personal information with it. No need to implant a chip in you by force.

Ok fine, lets say China isn't Communist (I disagree, but that's for another thread). It's certainly not capitalist though since the state largely runs the economy and while it gives a whiff of free trade, it's not anywhere close to being a free market. So with all that in mind, it still doesn't change that child labor isn't exclusive to unregulated capitalism. It's a byproduct of awful people.
And even if there weren't laws against child labor in the US, I can assure you no one in today's America would accept six-year-olds mining coal (or really any job outside acting and/or modeling). But really child labor laws are kind of ridiculous because it prevents someone who's say 13 and wants to work from actually working. I started "working" around 10 years old for my mom's business. Was it much? Not really, just cleaning, picking up, and doing odds and ends that a 10-year-old could do. I earned money and was able to buy video games, it also taught me that if I wanted something I had to work for it.

Whereas the 2008 remake should be avoided at all costs. The tepidest race movie I ever watched.
@Scaff is referring to the events in his post in the Britain thread.

I haven't and don't intend to; I don't particularly care for what's-his-face. I'm given to understand there's even a sequel, though that may have been straight-to-video and doesn't actually feature what's-his-face.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Seems there's also at least one other post here on the subject.
Also took the opportunity to get caught up in that thread by going to the first unread post. Of course doing so would have to both begin and end with Dotini.

Once you start breaking the windows of the police station, what kind of response are you expecting?
As pointed out in the article, there is a separate protest that hasn’t had these issues, funny isn’t it?

Even though the police began the violence, "Still, he says the vast majority of protesters have been peaceful."
