You blame China for us losing jobs and them owning our debt? Fuck, that is retarded. Zarcath is right when he says it is because of our demand. We caused this problem, they simply gave us what we wanted. They let us live our extravagant lives of overspending and undersaving, how dare them actually request payment for their services! And when a tragedy occurs in their country they most certainly can not ask for help because they took so much money from us !!

And yes, China did ask for help from multiple countries. Some of you all do not read, you'd rather just make up this shit as you go along (or perhaps all you read is CNN).

The only reason people are so indignant towards China is because as a whole, China terrifies the US. The news only focuses on the negatives of China and never, ever writes a single story about the incredible growth in China and how it is every single day improving their lives. Anything people learned in school about China has already drastically changed, so without either living in China or actively reading intelligent news / reading modern books about China they will have no idea what it is actually like.

Ideally when a country economically threatens us, we get motivated to become more creative and productive. However, all we do now is get angry and cry over China's current progress. Instead of as a whole there being a national push towards higher education and a harder work ethic we wallow away in states of declining science related degrees and in depression over the loss of our precious manufacturing careers. The great thing about competition is that it makes people more proactive and leads towards change for the better, however that does nothing for the US when we feel so damn entitled and god damn lazy.

What scares me is that I'll probably die to a chinese bullet, standing in my front yard with a semi-auto M4 trying to defend america from the yellow invasion.
