And this still isn't justification enough for revolution? I guess the theory of the frog in boiling water is true.
china
pwnz?
That is really sad, but obviously it is seeping over here too, did anyone else get an advertisement to get an asian woman for love/ marriage, and it had their height, weight and a product code?
So long, wow gold farmers.
I think China already may or may not have had a ban on games with or without pvp
I would know, because I am the expert on pvp games

What happens to all the MMO Chinese gold farmers? I’d buy all the MMO gold you can now! The price is going to go sky high!
Poor, deluded Chinese people not tossing off the chains of those in power.
On the other hand China did have 30% growth of the economy and is the fastest developing country. Freedom sucks if you're poor like Africa, its better to be a rich peasant with less freedom then a dying peasent with just the illusion of freedom.
In reality, this is the same as America when they imprision people in Guantanamo bay.
What. Surely you don't mean year-on-year?Quote:
China.. GDP growth.. 30%
Go to China and take your laptop with you.Quote:

I think its possible to spend quite a bit of productive time while on the internet. On the days that I spend 4+hours online, much of that time is spent researching topics that interest me; science, philosophy, religion, etc.
Also, and I think the article pointed this out as well, the time limit to qualify for an addiction doesn't take into account the thousands of people who spend a lot of time online while at work. I stay up all night with little or nothing to do and so sometimes I could be online for close to 7 hours on days that I work. I don't think this means I should be committed.
@@ title of thread:
That's socialism for you.
Its a lot harder for the Chinese Goverment to control the internet... but watch TV all you like.
Do they put potheads and murders in the same prisons?Quote:

Bah...
The article is written in such a manner that it's hard to take it seriously. Most likely everything is shamelessly exaggerated.
More to come, China is getting stronger, that means its going to be pictured as an ultimate evil in the Western mass-media. Just in case that some other country would wish to bomb it and replace its "cruel" government for pawns, hehe.
