Here we spend some time exploring China. In particular some of those outstanding mountains that are just about everywhere.

China is a land of some amazing nature and spectacular views. You look at the brochures, and the commercials, and the videos and say “Man oh man, I just have to go there and visit that place!“.
Well, this is what it’s like…
It’s all about the climb.

I refuse to read a blog created by someone who claims they have implants in their brain created from alien technology.........
LOL! Dustin Hoffman wasn’t in Star Wars.
There was an episode of Seinfeld in which Elaine made that up to get a free dinner date!
I did read that whole thread on Reddit.
Bizzare and creepy, but could never be proved.
Still, good writing...
Vannrox, was that story yours? Were you really a Navy Seal? Because so many say that but weren’t, it’s a claim like Liz Warren being Cherokee...
Ive never been a navy seal. I was a naval aviator. There is a big difference you know.
Not that it matters much. I also hauled coal, poured steel and designed automotive computers. Not to mention scrubbed toilets. You do what ever is put on your plate.
Today I am on the fast track to being a drunk. Enjoy what I post. Im going to put a end to it soon enough. Then you’ll be limited to CNN for your news.

Alright, not a SEAL.
I did like your story(ies), though.
The one where you were teleported to another dimension/universe to be further “worked on” by that offworldy medical team was very good!
But I don’t believe it.
The alternative to disbelief would be disconcerting, to say the least.
Fine with me. If the roles were reversed I wouldn’t believe either. You can just say that I am a good story teller and leave it at that.
Heck. Folk here on FR dont believe what I post about China. Even when I have video proof.
Anyway. You might want to check out the ooparts section.
Now, in your own words, what’s your point?
I assume your son did not run afoul of the laws governing China. If he had, he would have missed not having rights and protections that we take for granted here. Rights like our Bill of Rights.
We're not always going to agree. People will not always celebrate our position or beliefs. The great thing about this nation is that we have protections to express our opinion as well as many other freedoms/protections not shared by China, and to your point - not shared by many other nations.
In answer to your question, I said that your son would miss the protections and freedoms of our Bill of Rights if he ran afoul of the law in China. I'm sorry that you view this obvious truth as personal harassment toward you and your children. No harassment was intended.
