That's a pretty good point. They were essentially both puppets of the large powers, and the war pretty much a proxy war. But that makes the POWs change of attitude less brainwashy and more 'informed' in my opinion.

Are you suggesting that an alliance (between nations) is equivalent to the United Nations?

This is over simplistic and wrong. Mao used purging to get rid of others building power within the party. It had nothing to do with whether they were Communist (many good communists were purged). Sane points: Education, Health, both improv

It's a bit of a false dichotomy (as I tried to explain earliar). It isn't capitalism vs communism. Capitalism is a form of economy, communism is form of government. The mix of those, I believe china call it: "Socialism with

Capitalism is part of the progression to communism. You have to have generated capital in order to distribute it. Marx saw communism as a progression from capitalism, not a genesis form of government in and of itself. China had the unfort

History is written by the victors. North korea didn't believe the UN/US (i.e. Non-koreans) should be deciding the fate of their country. (I am in no way defending the current North Korean regime). I completely understand a sovere

Okay, so Mao could be argued to be a bad idea, but there was and has been a lot of communism since Mao. Could you say the same for Deng Xiaoping (also a communist)?

I thought america WAS the aggressor? (Korea isn't really near the US), and it was quite apparent the US wanted satellite states near russia/china, to potentially launch further attacks. Also did the communists do a bad job in chin

That's a blog, from 2008, with no citations itself, and no claim of original research. So essentially it's opinion. It is confusing correlation with causation. Westernisation brought "cancer diagnosis" with it. So of

I did. Was just pointing it out as "THE" solution (rather than "A" solution), for all things. In an attempt to be slightly absurd, and slightly humorous. Seems I failed at that.

Which science, and history are you referring to? Australia and Canada have pretty good prosperity and have a number of things he is advocating for (in the US). US economy... while it's HUGE, would you call it prosperous?

It's pretty specific to support services... I don't see how this is even contentious. Who uses the term "startup" anyway? (in a business context)

An undergraduate math education is more than enough to teach the current high school math curriculum. From my point of view though, if my statement above is true, that is very sad. As I don't think it should be. The math curriculum i

Umm... what about non "Transcendental Meditation"? Or are you just finding one perceived misuse and applying it to everything? (Does skepdic.com have an entry on that particular fallacy?)

Regardless, it should be measured on per capita, and China are WAY a head. So you are arguing to measure different countries in different ways. This seems inherently unfair.

I don't think you can think of "The Taliban" as a single coherrent group that have a "policy" on torturing american soldiers. When Abu Ghraib was publicised, a lot of moderate taliban would have become radicalised.
