Google only shows that some Chinese forums reprinted/copy-pasted them. Strangely enough, these Chinese forums claimed that they copied the messages from American forums. Conspiracy again?
Guys, can you search these out from non-Chinese forums?

　　Why on earth would the U.S. build something that is efficient and fast? The U.S. will jump on technology that would cost twice as much and three times longer to build. The U.S. has the most debt in the history of mankind, you don't get that title by being efficient.

　　Speed trains will ruin the airline industry, that's the reason why US is hesitant to build high speed trains. Big corporations rules in this country. If high speed train will travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a matter of two hours and airplane about an hour plus an extra hour of staying at the airport, train is more practical with a sightseeing view....agree???

If no one would like to give a hand, Mod, please help to delete the thread.
Thank you.

Jesus, you waited less than 2 hours! Moreover at a time when much of the UK and US are not actively online!

The US has a terrible rail network by comparison to a lot of countries.

And the first result was a link to this forum page.

What exactly do you want us to search for?

I want to know the exact original website/forum from which these messages/discussion occur. If you find it, please post the link here (if it is against Neowin rule, please PM me). Thank you in advance.

Well guys, please look carefully at what I've said in the OP:

Now, both of you have given the links to Chinese forums/microblog (called weibo in China).
Because Americans usually don't come to Chinese forums to discuss (Chinese language is too complicated for them) .That is why I've been trying to find the supposed American forum where Americans discussed these information.

^ I know.

The fact remains that all that [non-China] comes up in a Search, is this post on Neowin.

I guess I don't get why this is even important. Mass transit in the US is not that good outside of major cities. The layout of the country would render mass transit inefficient in most parts. So what's the big deal? Do the Chinese think they have a "one-up" on us because of this? I seriously doubt they have good mass transit outside of their own high density areas.

Surely a conspiracy?

A conspiracy on whose part? I don't see a conspiracy.. I do perhaps see propaganda from whoever is "posting" these comments. It's a bit far-fetched for Americans to be praising Chinese mass transit. Most Americans know very little about Chinese life.

Well, I tracked down ScubaGuyVic to yahoo.com, so maybe the quotes were taken from there:
