Why do I get the feeling China was the last country on earth to quit using round rocks for wheels?
Living in Asia we shopped in the local wet markets. They weren’t much different than your produce and meat sections of grocery stores. All the stalls were empty and washed down at the end of the day. Most of the restaurants shopped there. The range of things available from veg to live seafood was great. Seafood was on ice and meat was usually only held part of a day. We left with our coolers full. When we got home our servants would wash everything before it went into our clean kitchen.
Do you prefer eating Chinese dog or eating Chinese cat?
The Marines used to have a saying that someone had gone Asiatic. It was a synonym for out of your mind from being in China too long
In Germany it is said you have to make sure that you are cooking a Rabid and not a cat.
Or in this case even if their cultural practices unleashed a genocidal pandemic killing tens of thousands, Chinese should be allowed to continue these third world practices because culture, tradition.
Totally agree this reads like propaganda. You can still learn about picking fresh items in a western style grocery store, can still gossip with the neighbors.
Wet markets and a taste for exotic meats have given humanity HIV, SARS, covid 19 and who knows what else and what next.
China must be made to choose between modernization or being isolated. Either is ok with me. The Left has to decide what matters more to them their racist defense of anything non-American or their lives and their loved ones lives. I suspect they’d choose to die for fear they be accused of Xenophobia. The party of science would rather see suffering and death, call it the new normal.

Ummm -- because you're an ignorant bigot who has zero evidence that any human (other than comic strips & some gimmick "replicas") ever used "round rocks for wheels"?
[..you did ask...] '-)
(Next time, you might try something like this: </SARCASM> for clarity...)
Do you have provenance for that object -- or some clear evidence that it was actually used as a transportation wheel?
Your reading comprehension is appalling. I said NOTHING about transportation. Perhaps if you laid off the juice?
I checked my list of things I give a good God damn about and I can't find that one anyhwere.
Savages.

I offered you an opportunity to clarify.
What use (aside from transportation or others I mentioned like grindstones) for "stone wheels" do you have documented?
...even a wheelbarrow...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(FYI, I have never used "juice" nor any other mind-altering substance -- even tobacco.)
Your blatant resort to ad hominem attack proves your abysmal deficiency as a debater -- or, even a rational conversationalist.
As to my characterization of your original remark as "bigoted" -- STET.
TXnMA
Might as well get rid of Meat Inspectors in our Slaughterhouses as well.
I still remember reading the Book “The Jungle” when I was a Kid. It was full of Socialist BS, but it shined a light on the Unsanitary Practices in processing Meat.
I wonder of the Author likes his Wet Market Dog Meat coming from Animals that were Boiled Alive and/or Tortured to Death.
Go back and read your first comment to me... And now you're whining like a little b***h because I returned your attack in kind.
First you said I had "zero evidence" the first wheels were stone. When I corrected you, you changed your version of history and said well, the original wheels were stone but they were only used as money or maybe millstones (LOL), and not transportation (HWGA, who said anything about transportation?), and demanded documentation from me (as if my version of things was bouncing around all over the place every minute or two). I guess it never previously occurred to you to document your own boozy idiocies.
After no doubt a long sh*t-faced foray into the world of Google and finding no help there you've now decided to announce it was all just an opportunity for me to clarify, *hic*.
I know a lying, drunken POS when I see one. So here's your opportunity: Take another swig of whatever it is you're drinking there and walk or stagger away while you still can. I have no desire or obligation to continue arguing with a guy who can barely manage to sit upright on his barstool. What possible good could come of it?
