> Stop saying ignorant things. <

Why in the world must you resort to a personal insult? I am not an expert on Hong Kong. But I am an expert on Relativity. I’ve taught college courses on the subject. Sometimes folks will say something here on that subject that I feel is wrong. I offer a correction. But I do not insult them. I am not ten years old on a school playground.

Anyway, my post re Hong Kong was an overview. And that whole “perpetuity” thing meant absolutely nothing. The UK could hold Hong Kong proper only as long as it had the strength to do so.

As I noted in an earlier post, if the UK had insisted on enforcing the perpetuity clause, a single Chinese division could have overrun the place in a day.

If you want to continue this discussion civilly, fine. Perhaps you could offer insights that I would be interested in. But if you want to just trade insults, I’m not interested in that at all.

Sorry but it is very tiresome and irksome to hear common misinformation repeated.

Especially when it serves only to support the Chinese Communists.

That is the rule for everyone, including us and our second amendment as well as he first belong to us as long as we can defend them, no longer.
