I kinda like living in a society where the internet and media are not censored (apart from d!ckhead Zuckerburg's brand of censorship).
It helps to separate the good Chinese folk from the CCP. I had a 27 year old student that knew nothing about Tiananmen Square until he arrived in Australia. He also happened to be one of the funniest and personable blokes I've met, wanted the same things out of life for himself and his family. Will be a lifelong friend.
Perhaps if the rest the rest of the world didn't demand the US be the World Police (f@ck yeah) and stopped whinging when they did & didn't intervene we'd be all sweet? Yeah/Nah, evil has a nasty habit of gaining the upper hand when neutrals stand around and watch.
I could probably get drunk with you but you read like a bit of a bogan and Gnads would look down his nose at you and sniff with disdain.

That was Gnads on about the false flag. Careful throwing around words like "stupid" as they have a way of biting you on your own arse, as you've just demonstrated. I love how the phony-informed on here catch themselves out in their attempts to appear as intelligentsia.
Hey, Juud… any word on the status of our "fair-go reputation" after all the hoo-hah in Mildura?
