China has one of the largest undercurrents of capitalism.
Must have been that dastardly British colonial influence.

Yep, all the worlds ills were perpetrated by capitalist Brits. Even though the 'winds of change' were 60 years ago, we still have the closet commies blaming colonialism for all that is wrong with the planet.
Now we have China all over Africa, building roads then demanding mega deals for Africa's natural resources and paying off the corrupt bastards who run 99% of Africa. Huge change there eh?

The Brits left a positive imprint behind them and that can be seen in Kenya, South Africa, Honduras, Belize, Hong Kong, and etc.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:
pretending one nation is honestly filled with better ideals and motivations than another is just hogwash.
Then you're equating Canada with North Korea?

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:
Equating is definitely the wrong word. Regardless of how 'progressive' we consider our country in comparison to any other matters not, it isn't something worth a point of pride nor is it something that really should be touted or held up with reverent awe for that nationalist sake alone...
Democratic or Totalitarian, the same thing drives them. Power, and capital. Some use it differently. I don't bother with choosing lesser evils, I choose none of the above and I'm content with that.

Sorry, I think that's moral laziness.
That being said, it also should then prevent you from commenting on the inexorable 99% threads that will come as the protest season spools up as power and capital within Canada and the US are used differently, which I would think would lead you to not choose the lesser of two evils and be content with choosing none of the above.

Choosing none of the above means neither North Korea nor Canada escapes my critisism.
When making statements of global significance it helps if you use the spell check.

I donno, Megan. I think the spelling accurately reflects the significance.

(Zelaya) proposed a referendum on constitutional reform, something that democracies do from time to time.
Zelaya proposed ending term limits for himself so he could become President-for-life. The Honduran Constitution reserves the right to rewrite the Constitution to the Honduran Congress and Zelaya was trying to do this by Presidential edict. In accordance with Honduran law he was removed from office.
Honduras strictly followed their own laws in this circumstance and they should be praised for doing so because no one died in this crisis. They have a body of law and the law prevailed.
Total bullshit. Lots of countries dont have term limits, including Canada. All he did was put the idea to a non-binding public referendum which is the legal way to propose constitutional reform. He was removed by coup, which is not part of the law.
