Now that China has overtaken the US as the biggest polluter, and its increased desire and need for commodities has had a large impact on prices, will the "Blame America First" crowd shift their anger towards China?
Originally posted by knightwestI don't think so, since China is still controlled by a communist oligarchy and does not allow any dissent, which fits in nicely with the views and sentiments of most of the anti-Americans who post frequently on RHP.

Simple. The US HAS FOR DECADES CONTRIBUTED WAY MORE POLLUTION THAN CHINA HAS.
In other words, it would take China, decades to catch up to the total amount of pollution the US (and other countries) have put into the atmosphere. To all of a sudden say to china now, "well you've reached the same output level of us this year so we're not going to stop until you stop" is a load of garbage.
Imagine a person starts filling up his pool with water at a rate of 1 gallon per day for a year. While the person is still filling his pool, about 10 months later his neighbour decides to buy a pool also. He begins to fill his pool at 1 gallon per day also. But on the 2nd day of his neighbour filling his pool, the Water Management Board comes to both houses and demands each reduce their water filling rate by an equal amount because the city is running out of water. Is this fair? The original dude used WAY more water than the neighbour but now they have to share the limited resource? BS. The first guy should reduce his water usage more. It's the only fair way since the original dude is the one that caused the water shortage in the first place!

Originally posted by uzlessAmerica has also contributed over and above it's share to the world's economic output, humanitarian efforts, dues to the U.N., and military/police actions across the globe. We have fed the hungry, cured the sick, defended the defenseless and taken in those whom other nations would kick out. You should be more grateful, seeing as how you come from a country that is only known for beer and hockey.
