Good afternoon NSA plant (yes, this is just as ridiculous as your assertion). Does the USA have free elections, and free media? I thought most people didn't vote and they only had two choices. Lawyer man number one who went to Harvard, or lawyer man number two who went to Harvard. I thought the corporations owned most of the media in the USA? The USA ranks very low on freedom of the press rankings. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd be very interested if you knew how their society worked, or if you had visited the country? If you don't then you are ignorant. But, I'd love to hear your opinion anyway (assuming you aren't locked up without a fair trial), since that is the American way. A country with 45% illiterate people sure does have a lot of loud opinions. Sure - it's a society with many(many) issues, but it does have elections. With more people voting in them than in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_People%27s_Re...

The typical communist fake voting system.

Come on. Use common sense. Ask people around you whether they consider their government as a democracy. And Wikipedia can range from inaccurate to outright wrong about China. Use it as an academic reference and only believe what you actually see when it comes to the real-word stuff. It's normal for China to have problems, including problems with elections. But denying the existence of problems is hardly a good way to fix it.

This is so utterly, laughably wrong, it almost seems pointless to respond. No one outside of China sincerely believes China is a democracy[1]. And implying that US media is anywhere near as restricted as China's media is utter nonsense[2]. You might as well be trying to tell us the sky is made of marshmallows. 1. https://www.google.com/search?q=is+china+a+democracy https://www.google.com/search?q=is+china+a+democracy 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index#Rankings_and_scores_by_country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index#Rankings_an...

Does the USA have a national firewall that blocks access to dissenting opinions?

[offtopic] Yep, lawyers is USA is a real problem. Seriously, I don't get why somebody in USA believe that they have a choice to elect a president. Just think: if elections would be free how many candidates would they really get? Every second person would like to be a president! :D They elect somebody who scream aloud and has a lots of connections, but they will never elect somebody who is smart and have good political skills. So there is no freedom of choice, just a stupid illusion like Santa or something. I don't think that we have fair elections on this planet at all. Sorry, but communists are the same shit - they do not give you real choice, I'm from ex-communist country, I know that for sure. How they can agree to lose power?
