Yup, it is. Good thing this is an internet message board and not a country, huh?

There's a slight difference between running a private website that's dependant on sponsors to stay alive and a country that censors information that may cause their downfall.

We have limited restriction on various companies because they've spammed. If we allowed everyone to spam their wares/companies, the companies that advertise with us would see no need to pay. No payment = No Revscene.

We rarely delete or close threads. The only ones that tend to get closed are those that ask the same questions week-in and week-out, or those that have run their course. If it gets out of hand, it gets dumped into Fight Club if its deemed suitable. If not, there's no point in letting a bitchfest of a thread continue on in the more "civilized" sections of Revscene.

We don't censor competing online automotive forums. In fact, we have stickies listing every site we can think of. Want more information on a car? Please visit a different site! We embrace the community between car clubs. We don't ban other sites because we think that they threaten Revscene's existence. (And here is where you can draw a parallel between this and a country censoring information about things they feel is a "security threat.)

Oh, and people get banned for being either spammers or repeated shit disturbers. And even in the case of the latter, it's usually only a temporary week-long ban. Without even thinking, I can list off a dozen other forums online that will perma-ban someone for even saying "Hi" the wrong way.

That said, if someone is unhappy with the site, they're welcome to never log back in again. We didn't force them to come to us, and we wont force them away.

And that ladies and gentleman, is why Revscene is not like China...if you REALLY needed an explanation.

Half my relatives were Nazi's during WW2. Does that mean I shouldn't hate them for what they did in the war? My Opa saved General Rommel a couple times while in Africa while being one of the doctors on his personal staff. Should I hate him for doing that?

You can hate a country's government, policies put in place, laws, etc., etc., but that doesn't mean that you hate the country or the heritage... I hate the Nazi regime, but I still love Germany as a country.

It does when you talk about things like customer support. Dell has spent a lot of money making a name for themselves. Also anyone can build a compter but the hard part is finding out what a customer wants.

u mean u love present day germany. would u say u love nazi germany if u lived in the times?

we're talking about modern day china. and the majority of modern day chinese are confident china acts in the interests of the country as a whole. the rest of the world needs to realize china doesn't really give a flying fuck what they think and will continue to do w.e the fuck it pleases. see china has a history of submitting to foreign rule and learned to never repeat that mistake.

weird. i made a thread in FC before calling out skinnypup and he took it down in ten minutes lol

The only reason foreign companies are in China is because the Chinese are willing to work for peanuts and do what ever they are told.

Someone's mad. :haha: Sending their kids abroad does not equal neglect.
I agree some kids are just here to fuck around with their parent's money, but the other half who also drive nice cars also take education seriously. Doesn't matter mainlander, honger, white, persian, or any nationality/race, your always gonna get snobs.
btw, why is it everytime i see you post, it has to do with hating on rich mainlanders? was the bus driver that hit you mainlander too?

China is one of the most fucked up, backward places in the world. Everyone is pissed at places like Iran, North Korea, etc but China is just as bad when it comes to human rights, censorship and other garbage that wouldn't fly in a real country that people actually want to live in. That is...unless you're rich and then you can just do whatever the fuck you want.

Google, Dell, and all the other companies that do business in the free world need to pull the fuck out of there. Yes...everything is made in China but shit, take your business to India or whatever instead. Just as cheap and the money isn't funding goddamn communism. Let's see how well they'll do with only their crappy knockoff versions of things.

china policy, if you want ur business to exist and sell to chinese ppl in china, you need to have a base of operations in china.

a country of what, 1.xxx billion ppl is a huge gold mine of consumers. even the peasant farmer strives to do better and own some item of luxury.

china has surpassed the US as the largest consumer of oil. that huge market is what every company is trying to tap, hence why some are willing to bend over backwards just to have access.

sun tzu's art of war? lol I'm just saying..

that's what i said. I just like to use mainlanders as my examples ;)
lolol no bus driver wasn't mainlander..but yes i'm jealous i can't drive a gallardo to school and have a materialistic gf

I hope you are being sarcastic..I have been working in China for several years..and their internet is totally free, unless you are on the net trying to organize an unauthorized parade or a march, or you are posting pornography or graphic stuff, then your post will be deleted..other times you are totally free of what you say and what you post.

China is rapidly changing...nowadays you can even organize protests in front of the government building. The only taboo right now, is still if you are supporting tibet seperatists or trying to over throw the government, which of course most of the citizens don't even give a shit about.

In China the shit starters are Falun Gong practioners, the Tibetan separatists and Uyghur separatists. For instance, the Dalai Lama was a spammer and shit disturber so guess what? He's permanently banned from China.

That being said, if someone is unhappy with how things are in China, they're welcome to leave and never come back again. But guess what? Some of them actually leave the country and DO come back.

So who's left.
