It wasn't my intention to compare them, I just find it funny that he pardoned his whole family. The joke was he forgot to pardon the family dog. They are both just as ridiculous and the fact is telling how much corruption there is on both sides. I also have to share this gem

They did enough **** to contribute that's for sure. Yeah, I think a lot of people are in for a surprise and not a good one, my country included...

Hey, I'd settle for less conflicts abroad.

My condolences @PK htiw klaw eriF.

I had that movie on my watch list. Will give it a go.

Heroes is the perfect example of power creep. They wrote themselves in to a corner.

Haven't seen any yet so far, knock on wood. But there was a month where youtube went aggressive on add blockers and it was a pain in the ass.

Wallace goes hard...

You never know, he may still celebrate it on the 7th. Not really sure how popular that decision was with Ukrainians as the Julian calendar isn't really connected to Russia. Most Orthodox countries celebrate it according to Julian calendar.

If I can spot the 5070ti for under 1k, I may very well get it. I am currently a sad potato playing Pacific Drive with the 970.

I was laughing my ass off seeing all the news articles regarding China's 6th gen prototype flying, especially because not long before people were saying it was just a ground model that was for show. Either way it seems that the future may not be so bright for the production of the F-35 jet.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I mean historically protest and civil movements have not gone well in China and caused pretty high death tolls, or to put it a bit differently "protests hit different in China". I think China is very careful not to allow history to repeat itself. Also culturally they are just different, the people have a different mentality. As to the rights in the US/Canada, I do not see what you are talking about. In the US the jails have become a business and it's been documented multiple times that judges willing help fill them. If anything the difference between the rich and poor is huge, in their standard of living and their treatment in court. As for the indigenous people, I really don't know what else to say other then you are wrong. They have been ethnically cleansed and marginalized to the point where giving them any rights/allowances is laughable at this point. Again, for the 10th time, I am not saying the West is evil, but what I am saying is that people tend to have different rules for China and other countries which are not considered allies. Shouldn't China be given the same opportunity to better itself socially as the west was given. People forget how recently China was in the depths of poverty, their focus now is economy and the security of it's borders. Once they get to the same level as the US, where the economy is no longer in question as it's too big to fail, I'm sure the people will start focusing on social well being and improvements. edit: Also let's not forget Guantanamo bay and what happens to Muslims there.

I know of it, I was expressing doubts to the validity of what was reported in the western media. Ok, but then let's realize if we only want to buy things from countries that have done no wrongs we would not be buying anything at all. I never thought that China was a leader in computer sciences, but it's a cold fact that had the west not had access to cheap/slave labor to manufacturer said electronics it's a big question if PC and mobile phones would have been as common as they are today. I think computers would have been restricted to companies and wealthy people and gaming as a whole would have looked much different today.
