Christianity under fire!

There really is not a loony near my home waiting to do me harm. If there was he would probably do it with words. We just don't think like that.
You (plural) cannot walk where and when you choose. Would you allow a twelve year old girl to travel on her own on public transport? I would. Would you walk the streets of America's largest city armed with nothing? I would and frequently do travel at night, come home from city centre hostelries, go walking through the old areas of the city knowing as much as anyone can know that I will be safe from harm.
WE DO NOT THINK LIKE YOU DO.
But this I can say with a certain amount of confidence. You would not like Hong Kong... or rather Hong Kong would not like you, not for any political reason, but simply because, as a yank you would probably have patterns of behaviour, violence in your demeanour and an extremely loud voice that would be unacceptable.

Then why do you need a gated community, to live in??

It already is and has been doing since 1997. The 'let' bit was negotiated by the British in the run up to 1997, so it is not a question of not doing or of doing what it is told. The Basic Law, for that is what the result of those negotiations is called, is to last 50 years. What will happen then is anyone's guess, just as it is in America.
We have the rule of law, free speech. We drive on the left whereas China drives on the right. Our average salaries are many times those of china and we have a partly elected legislative council which does very little one way or the other. Our Chief Executive is agreed with china and is, to all intents and purposes, a puppet, but the various burgeoning democracy parties bear little allegiance. The last time China tried to throw its weight around was over Article 23 (look it up) and hundreds of thousands took to the streets and prevented it.
China, however, is not the big, bad bogeyman your propaganda would have you believe. Its purpose is to bring China into the 21st century and, as you must realise, a growth and development programme like that cannot function under what you call democracy. What has taken you several hundred years China is achieving in a few tens. It cannot be judged according to western principles and certainly cannot be judged by Americans who are fed as much anti chinese propaganda as the Chinese are fed pro chinese propaganda. To your country China has taken the place of the USSR and Cuba. A totally fictitious enemy. But you like being scared shitless so I'll leave you to it.

It would seem that "scared shitless" would explain why you live in a gated community.

Then they can't read, duh! it's about not establishing one religion that is it, no one is trying to establish one religion. Wall, church, and state, do not exist in that amendment.

Another arrogant Rightie presumes to tell the learned scholars of the SUPREME COURT that he knows better than they what is and isn't constitutional law.

btw...the words "well" and 'regulated" appear in the 2nd amendment, but you Righties don't want ANY kind of regulation involving guns...nice double standard.

another derisive post by you. that may be true for a small few on the right, but it is not true for majority. you might want to be careful with that broad derisive brush of yours.
