I think I will always be in awe of the fact that he actually said that. I assumed it was a joke for a long time, thinking there's no way he could be so clueless to say that.

he was.

Re: Quotes that You disagree with.

He's only doing it so as to advocate for religion as people are generally under the assumption that God and religion should go hand in hand.

He's attending the Beijing olympics supporting confucianism b/c of immigrants coming to America from China.

He supported Israel b/c there are more Jews in Manhattan than in Israel.

Re: Quotes that You disagree with.

Going to China isn't a support of Confucianism. The Communist government is so far removed from Confucian wisdom that I can't imagine any connection - oh, except that Communists destroy temples where Confucius is worshiped.

Wilt Chamberlain Nobody roots for Goliath.

Found this. I have to disagree with it because my hockey team always wins and we are a bunch of big guys. The squirts lose.

Re: Quotes that You disagree with.

Didymos,

I'm afraid I have ran out of thanks so I can't thank that post, lol. But haven't we established the fact that China isn't really a communism?

It seems that China isn't good when it comes to human rights. I don't mean to support religion but the government is only corrupting the people by diminishing archaic potential through violence.

They are the Goliath of Injustice, disease, and antidemocracy; from what I can see. And as Wilt Chamberlain put it (even though I hate to quote a Chamberlain [lol]), nobody roots for Goliath.

Apparently idiots do though. Bush and half philosophers.

Just kidding around ofcourse.

Re: Quotes that You disagree with.

The Chinese government is a communist government. Does Chinese communism perfectly conform to the teaching of Marx? No. But the US government doesn't perfectly conform with the teaching of Jefferson, either.

Oh, but Bush is an idiot. You've got that part right for sure.
