This is why China will never rule the world
It’s getting pretty common to hear people rant about how China is going to take over the world. If you really want a good indication on a country’s potential, start by the rationale of their people. This is why China will never rule the world:
A baby boom is expected in China in 2012 — the Year of the Dragon. Many parents consider it good luck for their kids to be born now: across Asia, the dragon symbolizes wealth, wisdom, and good fortune.
I’m not saying America is better than China. Most of Americans still believe there is a man in the sky who smites gays with AIDS and dooms non believers to an eternity of hell. I’m saying that it’s just as idiotic for the Chinese to believe that their kids are going to be wealthy because of the year they’re born as it is for Christians to believe that a man turned water into wine or turned a baby into a giraffe, or whatever the hell Hercules’ feats were. I’m not sure about any of it because Wikipedia is shut down.
The year of the dragon won’t make you smarter or richer. It’s the same kind of thinking that got my parents into trouble when they timed my birth so that my astrological sign would be a Leo. They thought it would make me nice and look where it got them. Set on fire, that’s where. That’ll teach you the next time you assholes pressure me to get rid of my training wheels.

I was going to post a comment relevant to the post, but then I realized you used the old messy KooRaid image and my rage blocked out whatever I was going to say.
Kthxbye.

Aw, man. And China was doing so well with the “not having so many fucking kids” thing.

I think they are trying to compete with India. Or maybe it’s the Catholics, I dont know.
China: “mo kid born unda good sign eqral mo plofit”
Rob: “But more people for the same amount of resources will actually make it worse for everyone”.
China: “SIRENCE! Internment camp fo you!”
