  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's hilarious to me that most of the places where trump is most popular are historical enemies of the US...and no Trump supporters even think about that for a second.
It seems that the closer of an ally you WERE to the us, the more they hate Trump.

it's like telling your best friend their new boyfriend is a loser. Good finds will do that; bad friends will not
Three things about your chart:

1. The survey apparently asks if Trump "is good for your country". That's not what I said about the Chinese people.

2. It largely proves what I said anyway.

3. The source is the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Yes but you didn't support your claim with anything.

2. It largely proves what I said anyway.
You JUST said the chart doesn't address what you said. So how can it do that and still prove you right?

3. The source is the European Council on Foreign Relations.
And because of this you can deny right?

Perhaps Trump calling for nuclear arms reduction, will help change their opinion?

China Finally Agrees With Trump

Trump on Thursday called for talks with the U.S.'s most powerful adversaries, China and Russia, to engage in talks on drawing down defense spending and their nuclear stockpiles—once "things settle down," saying there was "no reason" for the U.S. to be spending nearly $1 trillion on defense as it is this year.

This would also save China and Russia a ton of money too, not to mention make the world a safer place. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention...though it's hard to put a negative spin on it.
It I had a dollar for every utterance from Trump that was nothing more than an utterance, I could supersize the fries of every American.

Why should Canada be an enemy just because they produce more stuff that we want than vice versa?
Canada has 1/10 your population. We simply couldn't take as many goods as you guys can.

As soon as this happens it'll be a great thing I'll agree.


"Once things settle down" kinda renders it moot though.

Yes. Trump's real issue is he thinks all US trade with other countries should be deficit neutral even-Steven. Never mind the US consumes more than any other country. In fact the US consumes more than the follow on six countries behind them combined. To him if the US buys $100 of product, but the participating country only buys $50 from the US, then the US is subsidizing (<--yes, the word he uses) the US is subsidizing that country in the difference amount. It is unbelievable how child like he thinks.

Every hour spent making stuff for the USA is not spent making stuff for yourselves.

So either we have more cash (or debt) to spend than you all. Or you offer more appealing stuff than us. Or youre CHEATING!

I did. I gave a Wiki link, but you can find baizuo discussed lots of places.
You JUST said the chart doesn't address what you said. So how can it do that and still prove you right?
It shows that a small minority of people think that Trump is bad for China, which is different from liking or respecting him.
And because of this you can deny right?
And you can deny Wikipedia because it's Wikipedia?
