You conservatives are so ignorant sometimes. China has sent people up to space for years, small children. The sewing machines used in the Nike factory are more efficient in zero-G, and a small child can make twice as many sneakers in a spacecraft. It makes no sense to give them helmets and spacesuits, because that would negate the advantage small fingers have in sewing sneakers.
I think that China is sending people up voluntarily is just a stunt.

It is entirely possible that the Slashdot editor thought that this was a real newsclip. Isn't that sadder than if they thought that this was funny to post?

I've never found the Onion to be funny. I've known people who couldn't describe stories on there without practically breaking down in tears from laughing so hard.
But for me, it's never been more than an "Oh, that's cute" sort of reaction.
It's weird how humour can be so subjective.

The problem with the Onion is that the headline is the punchline, so there's no point actually reading the article.
The problem with Slashdot is that it's slowly turning into digg.

They put irrelevant and wrong words in peoples mouths all of the time. Did you really think cheney said "bring it" before an explosive game of street rules basketball? The only difference was they used stock footage of Zhai Zhigang, the actual astronaut who walked in space and translated it to their own end. It was as much of a parody of the current state of newsreporting as it was a parody of Chinese government.
There was nothing far reaching or out of bounds about any of this. You seem to have said that you had no problenms with poking fun at things you don't like but are hurt and offended when someone pokes fun at things you identify with. What does that say about you?

So was D-DAY landing at Normandy. You can TOTALLY see the pixelated artifacts around Tom Hanks. And I'm supposed to believe he lead the invasion AND went to the moon? COme on! How naive do they think we are?
Duh, how do you think we defeated Moon Hitler?

That's right. Communism is a plague. Oh and which country's federal government is spending billions buying up bad debt? There's a piece of blatant socialism right there, whereas China is a capitalist country. It's only people too stupid to realise that the US is one of the poorest nations who don't seem to get that.
But I agree, you should keep on this rant and try and convince as many other Americans as possible you are right. Then maybe China will get pissed off and call in the debt.
