Ji@nBing Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Glad to see you back in this side of the world... your right down the street from me here in seattle :p 586333058[/snapback] Haha. I'm not in the states, I'm in Canada!!! Thanks for the welcome back though. Like I said, I don't know if I made the right choice. Beijing is really a great city to live in and I miss it a lot. I just hated teaching English though and it was really my only option for work there. At least here, I can persue my interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurë Veteran Posted August 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 7, 2005 It seems pointless to me, I doubt there is any real evidence that these games cause people to become violent. However maybe the Chinese government feel that the games go against their politics. In which case their dstorted 'communism' would be to blame.

drshdw Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Communism isn't even a form of government, wth are you people blaming communism for? Communism is a freaking form of economics, just like the US runs under capitalism, is capitalism a government? NO. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berz Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 While I am generally anti-communism and pro-capitalism for a variety of reasons, I will say that virtually all governments around the world have had to deal with issues dealing with "the corruption of youth." The US has dealt with similar issues. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this happen here soon enough - regardless of the administration. Obligatory political commentary: China is far from being communist, and the US is far from being capitalist. Sure, they may be thought of as such, but the breakdown of raw economic and social welfare figures from both countries paints an entirely different picture.
