india v. china at lunch

and this is how the Lunchtime Political Commentator/Sociologist can win the day in one deft stroke over Right-Wing Investment Banker(RWIB)-types when it comes to those annoying india vs china debates:

RWIB
: india going nowhere - investment too little - decisions too slow - democracy sucks - china rocks.

LPC/S: what about political freedom/civil rights?

RWIB: freedom overrated - investment too little - decisions too slow - democracy sucks.

LPC/S: would you prefer a chinese-style dictatorship for quicker economic growth?

RWIB: india going nowhere - freedom overrated - rights overrated - corruption corruption corruption - Left gone bonkers - decisions too slow - democracy sucks.

LPC/S: do you have a dog?

RWIB: investment too little - decisions too slow - democracy sucks.

LPC/S: do you have a dog??

RWIB: what does that have to do with it?

LPC/S: china culls them en masse to keep rabies under control.
heads clubbed until smashed. every single one of them.
owners paid to do the deed themselves or the government will gladly walk in and do it for them.
quick decision path to rabies control.
but you're right...the roads here must improve and rights sound overrated.

RWIB: .....
could you pass the rice pls?

do try out and share results.
