We are more than willing to torture political prisoners who have not been found guilty by trial, despite the fact that information from torture is generally considered to be unreliable (in other words, the torture is not serving some nobel purpose, it is torture for the sake of torture). Which is worse?

But our government does not take steps to stop our largest corporations from using slave labor. Also, it doesn't stop immagrent workers from working in our most terrible jobs for next to nothing.

We may not often slaughter protestrers, we do have a great system to censor media. The chinese government does not censor all media. Like the US, it censors and changes what suits it's ends.

You got me again. It's not like Americans came to America and there were already people here. It's not like we took their land. It's not like we almost exterminated their entire race. It's not like we called them pegan and savage for their beliefs.
