Yes. Because after you play those three hours, you must go work in the factory after. God forbid you go outside and get some fresh air. Honestly, I think the idea is kinda lame. (Exp reduction) but the intention of making you a m ore effective and valuable contributor to the state? A bit of a stretch dont' you think? Look, you don't like China. We get it. Just put it in your sig instead of distorting every thread with China = dictatorship.

Don't be a douche, I don't think the government should interfere with personal lives because I believe they have no right to. Stop making ridiculous strawmans that have nothing to do with what I said. Look at the big picture, if the government has the right to limit how much games you play, what internet sites you can visit, among other things, doesn't that make you wonder about the rights you have in the eyes of the government?

I find it hard, with my cultural upbringing different than that of a kid from China, to actually try and critique the views of the Chinese government on things like video game playing. If you called me lazy and fat because I was from the US I'd probably call you an asshole too, you know>?

Maybe you should grow some balls and take a stance. Different cultural upbringing? You think there was some kind of video game epidemic in China that decimated their population? What a bunch of agreeable crap.

And what has calling an individual fat got to do with calling a government system faulty? A Chinese person has no reason to be insulted when you call their government a piece of crap. Stop making retarded comparisons please!!!!!!!!!!

You're accusing me of making a strawman argument? Are you serious with that? Or do you not see the innate hypocrisy of your post.

I don't think any of those posts ever came up. Though we did have a few people calling others idiots, douche, and ball less. Those weren't the "Chinese mob kids" though?

If you're referring to me calling the motives of the Chinese government aimed at making the individual as effective as possible to the state, and that the state comes first in China, I don't really see how that is a strawman because I genuinely believe that's true and all the evidence I see points towards it.

You mention forced labor and factory work because I call personal freedom limited in China, that's a little different. Also you say "I don't like China" when all that I dislike is their government, that's 2 strawmen.

offtopic-There are reasons to dislike china just on human-rights and international trade habits.
ontopic-What about games that don't require you to put down your first and last name just requires a username.

So you have no reason to be insulted if I called your government a piece of crap? Honest, I'm glad you paid attention in the first ten minutes of your logic class enough to hear the term "strawman" but did you sleep through the rest of it? You sure seem to take an awful lot of offense from other people's opinions. For a guy touting free speech and the like, you sure don't like many people using theirs.

Pardon me for trying to understand the situation here. But is it really out of genuine concern for Chinese citizens? Because if you genuinely care about the Chinese people, wouldn't it make more sense to be more involved and active in the plights of Asians in your own country first? Asians (Chinese included) are often one of the most persecuted in most foreign countries (heck even other countries in Asia), a little research would go a long way to show what you can do.

Unless of course you're doing it simply for the thrill of bashing another nation. If that's the case, well, you're just a very sad person. =P

If an individual gets insulted when you call their government bad they are a bunch of nationalist idiots. They are basically fighting for the ideal that their government is without fault, which is incredibly ignorant.

That's exactly what you are trying to say. But you are smarter and educated so you don't say it directly.
But your overall answer is still the same. Summary: it is not your business + if you make criticism of the government you are an idiot and a China hater.

That's some serious nationalistic ego issues.

There is a reason Chinese citizens have a solidarity with their government and it has fuck all to do with what the government tell them. It's more because the government managed to reclaim China for the Chinese instead of having spheres of influences still in the nation that reads "no Dogs, no Chinese allowed". Think a little before you speak. If you go on /any/ Chinese forums, you will see plenty of dissent against government control at times. There is no way, Chinese citizens think their government without fault. However, that being said, it's still /their/ government.
