"Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." -- Robert A. Heinlein

Add Mr. Chan to the list.

"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said. "I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic." Chan added: "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."

Maturity and freedom are not applicable to the Chinese people. They don't know how to live their own lives and are incapable of making personal decisions. He lives a good life with all the aspects of fame and fortune yet condemns the common man as too inept. Nice.

Chan's comments drew applause from a predominantly Chinese audience

Pathetic. They should try self control sometime.

I guess he'd have preferred to spend his life as a peasant.

I love Jackie, but he’s always tended to lockstep and goosestep with the Chinese gov’t. His son recently gave up US citizenship for Chinese.

He’s got a lot of business running over there. I guess Jackie would not be one to say ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’.

Yeah,, firing squads are very controlled and orderly. So is hanging from the gallows.

Oh my goodness, I never looked at the issue that way. When people are free they will do what they want. That will never do. At long last I grasp the wisdom of the collectivist's. And they really are so much smarter than anyone else. Ask them. They will tell you.

Course I kinda wonder if people like Chan want to be "controlled" themselves, or is that something meant only for the little people?

People will do what they want. The very idea boggles the mind. I'm so glad Obowma is in charge. He'll fix that.

Judging by how many people voted for the Kenyan usurper here, more Americans believe we need to be controlled as well.

Control?

Fine. Let’s start with Chan’s hideously excessive renumeration for his movies.

That is certainly “chaotic “and “out-of-control”, and needs to be throttled back, with a firm ceiling put in place by some cowardly, talentless bureaucrat.

People who have no fear of God may well need some other form of control.

Taiwan and Hong Kong SEEM chaotic, because they are (relatively) free societies, so political disputes and society’s dirty laundry will be public viewing.

China SEEMS stable, but in fact, the heaps of its dirty laundry are assiduously kept from public view by the Party. Its politics are byzantine and highly factional and even with the internet, public scandals rarely surface and certainly don’t gain traction.

Jackie is one messed up dude. I think he’s taken too many shots to the head.
