It would depend on what one decides as keeping ones nose out of others business.
Piracy that has or does target ships that belong to owns country could count as ones business. Which is why I didnt include the War of 1812, as UK privateers were effecting US trading vessels
The point was about intervention, not keeping your nose out of others' business. The US has ALWAYS insited on the right to navigate the seas since its founding, and that has led to interventions. If China controls East Asia, do you honestly think the waterways here will remain open? The South China Sea? The Taiwan Strait? the East China Sea? Really think about this...
Was it not the actions of the "business community" that put us in this place to begin with? Oh wait, government wrote, issued, insured, and exported the toxic mortgages that infected the global financial system.:roll:
No, nonsense because it was never an issue to begin with, but this victimization that your greens continually feign.You mean "nonsense" that simply shows you have no credibility? And yes, it is relevant as it goes to show that on topics related to China and Blues, you have no credibility. And.. considering you have cited quotes from another website from even longer ago... your hypocrisy is clear for all to see.
Yeah tea baggers made a lot of gains last year, so what? Ruling party always looses seats, means nothing.I suppose you have forgotten that not only have gains been made, but that in the last election cycle in which everyone voted for county magistrates and municipal mayors, the DPP easily outpolled the KMT in terms of total popular votes.
Fraud charges that she has been completely dismissed of.The case in question had nothing to do with her dual citizenship. It was about fraud. She has dual citizenship. This has been confirmed by the State Department. This case is about whose responsibility it is to uncover it and relates to her salary during the time she illegally held office.
:lamo you're silly :lamoThe only person taking anything out of context is you.
Oops, don't want to be there being a jerk making false accusations against me do you? I'll get the mods on you for violating forum rule 4 :lamoShe violated the same law that she accused others of violating while she was a city councilor in Taipei. There is nothing silly about violating the law... unless the KMT is violating it, I suppose...
So? You know it's wrong and so it's okay for you guys to play the race card today? What about Ma not being born in Taiwan? He was born in the Republic of China, end of story.The KMT also plays the ethnic card and has for generations. Ma wasn't born in Taiwan. This is a well-known fact.
So US citizens can hold foreign office now? That's news to me.Wrong. Read heading 14 on the bottom of page 7 on your United States passport. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of State confirmed that she still holds U.S. citizenship -- which I have already linked and you misconstrued... again...
No, it's pretty much meaningless nonsense to any non pan greens. Once more, I don't support the KMT.It isn't meaningless except in the minds of the KMT and their supporters.
I attack the greens hardly means I support the KMT. You new at this forum thing LDH?This from someone who defends Ma, Lee, Chiu and other KMT stalwarts on every opportunity and attacks the greens. Anyone who reads your posts knows that what you say and reality are not one and the same.
Whoa, there you go again LDH, making no distinction between the PRC's citizenry and it's government when it suits your argument.Taiwan is not part of China. China is the greatest threat to the freedoms the 23 million people in Taiwan enjoy today. That you support them shows that you do not have Taiwan's freedom and democracy at heart. As for freedoms in China, it is too bad you support thugs who violate basic rights that the people of China are entitled in accordance with conventions China is a signatory to.
I praised him for making such statements? Unless you can show me that you're just grasping.You don't remember the thread you started praising his ascension to the presidency?
Some of us have better things to do with our lives than searching through old archives.Whatever... you didn't link the usage. I never called you Fuh on this forum.
According to your own words.I am not a public figure. President Ma is.
What you are doing here is utterly pathetic and disgraceful. You're using people's ignorance of Chinese customs and language thus feign outrage and pretend that it is somehow insulting when you know damn well that it is not, not even in the least, you know damn well that it's just an abbreviation.We are not friends. You know very well in China that simply stating someone's surname without some form of honorific is NOT customary and in some contexts can be insulting. I have told you before I don't want you to do it, and I am within my rights on this forum to insist on it...
Unless I'm insulting you with your own name, rule 4 is irrelevant and it is you who is being the jerk who is insisting on someone not using an abbreviation of your pretend name.Read rule number 4. Study it. Live it.
In journalism, the president of a country is most certainly referenced as President so and so, at least within real journalism. It is only within non-journalism material such as tabloids that the titles are omitted.President Ma is a public figure. And it is consistent with journalistic form. You are not a journalist and this is not a newspaper.
LDH doesn't like people challenging him on his china hatred rants. It doesn't matter that the US kept all of latin-America as it's own playground for so long because in his mind ONLY China is the evil.Will the water ways remain open, generally yes. As China is making alot of money through international trade, keeping the water ways open to trade would be important. Now will China allow for foreign militaries to navigate those regions, no.
But then the US kept central america and south america as its playground for the last 100+ years. Working on keeping any non US presence out.
No, nonsense because it was never an issue to begin with, but this victimization that your greens continually feign.
Yeah tea baggers made a lot of gains last year, so what? Ruling party always looses seats, means nothing.
Secondly, you wrongfully assume that I'm a strong supporter of the KMT, sorry to bring reality to your wet dream but just because I don't support your hateful agenda hardly means that I'm a supporter of your opposition party.
Fraud charges that she has been completely dismissed of.
So? You know it's wrong and so it's okay for you guys to play the race card today? What about Ma not being born in Taiwan? He was born in the Republic of China, end of story.

So if You don't like lu and are feigning this outrage, than I'll just use LDH, initials of your pretend name.
Unless I'm insulting you with your own name, rule 4 is irrelevant and it is you who is being the jerk who is insisting on someone not using an abbreviation of your pretend name.
