China maintains its title as World's Most Childish Nation

Childish in a repressively dangerous sort of way. The kind of child you lock up as a protection to himself and others.

Now now China, go sit at the kid's table until you prove yourself able to sit with the adults without embarrassing yourself.

Silly me for believing governments have absolutely no right to do this. If they claim such a right, they are instantly transformed into criminal organizations that must maintain their power by force.

Kidnapping is a crime...

Foreign governments are calling for the immediate release of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who was detained by security officials at Beijing airport on Sunday.

The Chinese authorities have said nothing about his arrest while boarding a Hong Kong flight, even to his family.

The United States, Britain and Germany have all expressed their concern.

The US embassy in Beijing said the activist's detention was "inconsistent with the fundamental freedoms and human rights of all Chinese citizens".


Haaaahahahaha. This is China we're talking about. Human rights are a minor concern for that government.

China has bought its way to a seat with the grownups. Shame about the table manners. We just got over disciplining the U.S. for pulling wings off flies...
