Whatever man, for someone who blasts the dictorships, communists, etc. you sure violate your own principle and live there. next time you complain, i am just going to laugh.
My first point was that you mouthed off comments about another poster without even bothering to check the poster's well established posting history on the topic (in this case, Singapore) showed both carelessness and ignorance on your part. But hey, what else is new? It's the same ol' you - firing off a poorly articulated, poorly aimed broadside without thinking.
Second point, be it dictatorship, authoritarian, totalitarian, single party oligarchy ... etc., there ARE differences in how these governments are manifested and how their power and governorship are exercised. And if you can't tell the difference or pretend for your silly arguments that there aren't ... well, that's obviously your prerogative, but you are not exactly helping your arguments.
I have lived for years in both Singapore and China (back in Singapore now, again). Yeah, Singapore is a petty little tin pot dictatorship, but it's not in the same league as China.
Some years ago, on my first re-assignment from Singapore to China, I was joking with my collegues back in Singapore that I had to stop complaining about Singapore's absurdly squeaky clean, all sunshiny and always toeing the official government position newspaper - The Straits Times ... realizing that the ST was positively of muck racking scandal sheet subversive 5th column press type when compared to the ML Chinese newspapers.
<< ... next time you complain, i am just going to laugh. >>
I don't complain, that's for wimps, I observe.
So, the next time I complain about anything will be your first experience -- and mine -- of my doing so. Don't meanwhile hold your breath.
Laugh you head off, why not. That's what we Americans, sovereign rulers of the greatest nation there has ever been and/or ever will be, do every time a third world person offers us advice and/or passes judgement on us.
And you should have gotten the joke by now.
