you think these dudes who didn't go to class know what Taiwan's history is?????
:ehh: I remember a lil grip from world history a couple years ago and re-reading their wikipedia article, its kinda fukked how bro conceded, ran off the mainland, and China still got the nerve to have a vice grip on em. I guess Russia, America, Great Britain, Spain etc all did the same thing before though

Holy false equivalencies batman! :why:

Let's get this straight. Liberals are against invading a country in order to force them to do what we want them to do. Liberals have never been opposed to speaking out and supporting civil rights in other nations. South Africa? Palestine? Sudan?

And wtf does Trump's trade war have anything to do with this? Trump ain't fighting no trade war in support of human rights. :skip:


And Hong Kong isn't asking to separate - have you been informed on this issue at all? :what:

A better comparison would be, "What if Trump suddenly unilaterally decided to take Native American soveignity away and declare federal power over every Indian Reservation, and when they protested he sent in a bunch of thugs in uniforms to beat the shyt out of the Native Americans."

Yeah, hmm, I wonder how liberals would feel about that. :martin:
Im not even trying to defend China...like I said, I spent a few months on the mainland and in HK...ive seen how they get down.
My point is that when you work for a company, its not your place to speak on things that will effect the organization.

my point is tweeting about these issues does nothing...you think China actually cares?
tweeting is more about getting on the right side of people here...not about helping anyone.

I used that example because in China's eyes HK = China...end story.
What exactly are you, or anyone else going to do about it?

A better example here would be Federal Laws vs the States.
(I personally dont agree that Indians should have that much sovereignty...they can do pretty much anything to you if youre gambling at a casino).

Re trade war: China economically is abusing American business the same way they are going at HK...and it effects all of us more than whats going on in HK.

NO ONE has abused trade laws and the rest of the world's businesses as much as the USA. NO ONE.

Act like the USA doesn't fukk over every single 3rd-world country with its trade laws and act like US workers ain't WAY better off than Chinese workers.

If the USA is afraid of what China is doing, all it has to do is stop importing Chinese goods. Not have a trade war for a better deal, just unilaterally stop importing any goods that interfere with the livelihoods of American workers. Why can't American workers just make a living selling their shyt to other Americans? Think about it for a second....there ain't no way whatsoever for the Chinese to exploit American business unless we were exploiting someone else first and they've just moved in on our territory.

I have not done any research on these issues in China but I can say this much from a basketball perspective....The day the Rockets fire him (which they most likely will) I fully expect other teams to be lining up to sign him up...The Rockets are so engrained in China they damn near have no choice almost ( it most be some fukkery going on in China but who cares we owe them money and they don't have any oil for us to try to get in on besides they are buying up Africa)...


The US likes to play world police but you see we aren't trying to police shyt unless it benefits us...I swear we may just be the biggest hypocritical pieces of shyt.
IDK any franchise that could afford to get Daryl. The league would have to exonerate them/that decision, and IDK if that's possible

This is so disingenuous :mjlol: If he was alive during Ali’s prime he would’ve been telling him to shut up and box and called him a communist.

Also, if this was Darryl Morey (once again) saying Amber Guyger deserved more than 10 years in prison, Clay Travis would be all over him. This guy is a Trump supporting racist who hates Kaepernick and, all of a sudden, wants us to believe he’s a warrior for democracy :unimpressed:.

Boy, he's been waiting for this. :mjlol:
The NBA needs to come out an say that they are not going to censor the political thoughts of it's employees and if that is an issue than we are at an impasse for doing business. The Chinese people love basketball and the NBA, I think that will win out money wise over a disagreement on how they handle their government. Adam Silver should show some balls here not the players s they probably aren't informed enough and honestly just want to ball.
