just wait until the Chinese start emigrating

Are you kidding, some of the oldest immigrant communities in the UK are chinese and if you bother to look at American history you will find that the chinese have been there for a velly velly long time. The Chinese seem to integrate, work hard and demand nothing, they are more than welcome.

Well, yeah, they have done that but that was before. I predict things will change and the Chinese will take over. If they had other places to live they could have bigger families, right? So that's all the reason they need. Get ready to become an extention of China :)

If you think any immigrant demands nothing, think again!!! The reason most move is to find a better life.

Some how I don't think so, as for sizes of Chinese families, I didn't realise they were known for that, they're not in the UK, they have 2 kids 3 max...Personally I only know 2 Chinese people both are married to English people one couple has no kids and the other had 3 kids (both couples are in their late 30s)..

She was referring to the government enforced limits on number of children in China. Indeed in this way America offers freedom. Too much. No limits. We’re crazy in the other direction.

They can't have as many kids in China, the government has quotas. If they had other places to live, they could have more kids. So there ya go. Reason to imperialize.

Spare us. Today's Leftist "Liberals" bare no resemblance to the dictionary definition. Citing that has become a tired and dishonest defensive ploy on the part of Leftist Libs.

Bless you gtd, sorry I mean Randal, I knew I'd get a rise. The term Liberal has a completely different meaning in the UK and US. A study of the history of the Liberal party might help you.

Anyway, I like this one:

Not narrow or contracted in mind

I also like William Harcourt's definition of liberalism:

Liberty does not consist in making others do what you think right. The difference between a free Government and a Government which is not free is principally this—that a Government which is not free interferes with everything it can, and a free Government interferes with nothing except what it must. A despotic Government tries to make everybody do what it wishes, a Liberal Government tries, so far as the safety of society will permit, to allow everybody to do what he wishes. It has been the function of the Liberal Party consistently to maintain the doctrine of individual liberty. It is because they have done so that England is the country where people can do more what they please than in any country in the world.

I think you're a bit of a liberal at heart really Randal ;)

This is the exact opposite of what Liberals do in America. Exact opposite. Our Libs want to control every little aspect of our lives.

I am indeed, in an old-school "leave us the F alone" sort of way. Again, nothing like Modern Libs. The polar opposite of them.

No truer words were ever spoken. I would never object to a Chinese family living next to me. They are good hard working people with excellent familiy values. Their children excell in schools. I understand that there were some violent activities in San Francisco with the Tong gangs.. But never another place that I know of. They keep small families.

That's because they are immigrants. Asian immigrants do better in American society than certain groups from elsewhere, Mexico, for instance.
What I am talking about is China taking over the world. Not the same as a few emigrating each year. Take a look at human rights record in China, you will see what I am talking about.

You might get a little worried though if the cat or dog suddenly went missing.

Heck, they do better than our own diversity homies who were born here and can't even speak the language!

if the cat or dog suddenly went missing.

Lol... "Number 27, please. The sweet and sour p*ssy cat."

LOL! Yeah that was good. But there are more places in the world that practice this too.. I wonder how many brits ate cat and dogs in their kabobs?

Actually knowing that I would never eat Chinese food in a Chinese restaurant.. I make my own.

Yeah, that was nicely done. I gather that they are keen on monkeys' brains. The Koreans are more keen on dog.

I hope Poland doesn't have to wake up to that. At least letting them stray isn't as bad.

My sister would stop that for sure.

Quite right! This could descend into an argument into, well, you eat chicken so why not dog? I hope it doesn't.

You have to ask yourself why many balk at the thought of eating dog and monkey.

In the places where chinese restaurants open,there are no stray dogs to be found.

the reason Chinese have eaten dogs/cats/monkey was because of the famine in the past, so they were eating whatever came their way. Some areas of China are still very poor today.

What is the difference between eating Dog, Monkey, Cow or Pig?

And in Ukraine there was famine but people stay still non-cannibals.

True that, Miranda. Still, they have enough rice to feed the masses. Chinese cuisine places a heavy emphasis on vegetables which are quite cheap. I guess they wanted to shake it up a little bit.

well, I have read an article on China some time ago and that was what I found out - it seem to be quite well researched. People ate cats/dogs because it is protein.

I can't imagine what else they ate full of protein.

Geez, let's supply them with eggs and tuna or some other heavy-protein foods. Save the animals!

That is essentially true. It's worth pointing out that while the western world looks at cats and dogs as furry, cute pets, they are not, or were not previously, viewed like this in the east. Particularly dogs who were/are viewed as livestock and working animals in certain regions in the east.

Do you honestly think they care? They use people for organs what do they care if they eat a dog? LOL, it's China, not US or Europe.

I thought the ancient Egyptians had domesticated dogs. Almost every month in the West, you get a good story about a dog saving someone from drowning, sniffing out bombs or warding off intruders.

I'm not really so inclined to snack on one of my friends.

Yes, that's why I said 'certain regions'.

That would be the west then and not the east. Dogs in the western world are viewed differently than in certain parts of the eastern world.

It does differ much in China for example. In the larger, more modern cities, dogs may well now be viewed more as pets but go out in to the country-side, especially the very poor country-side and dog is still on the menu.

However, around the world different countries eat different meats. The western world views dogs as pets so balk at the very thought of them being eaten somewhere were they are considered to be part of the food source.

Accepting multiculturalism is to also see that cultures vary even within the same country.

No, I don't think they care. They have different standards, that's clear. The Japanese eat horse as a delicacy. They call it basashi and it's most popular on Kyushu.

I hope everyone signed that petition that was going round. The one to stop dogs being used as shark bait. I thought it was a hoax but it appears to be true. I have loved dogs for many years and hate the thought of people abusing them in that way. Pure cruelty and barbaric behaviour. I expect low-lifes like the Taliban to do that. Many Afghans use big dogs to fight. Bellends!

Poland is far beyond their level. I was surprised to see that it is in America but the cops there are right on top of it. Look hard enough and you will find it in many countries. There are evil sods everywhere.
